Should challengers to in-party incumbents be given access to party tools like registration databases? -- (link) - iSpam Feb 15, 10:39 2
- yes. next question. -- nm* - Truman Feb 15, 10:44
- that is a tricky question, obviously you don't want to give it to some loon -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:43
As a Deadpool comic fan I think my favorite part was - spoils - Beaker Feb 15, 10:31 16
- best Stanley Lee cameo in a while btw. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 10:38 2
  - his cameo on Comic Book Men last night was aces -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:41 1
    - I saw a few episodes and really want to pick it up. - Mel Profit Feb 15, 10:50
- As a non-comic reader, I don't get this. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 10:33 5
  - Here. It is as Fvcked up as it reads :) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 15, 10:35 3
    - things like this is what make me laugh about deadpool - Truman Feb 15, 10:39 1
      - heh, I had to reread that bit to be sure I wasn't misreading -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:40
    - Weaknesses: So many. Also, his own cowardice. -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:38
  - Agreed -- nm - amoxy Feb 15, 10:35
- and I'd rather see Outlaw, Black Tom and Juggernaut in the sequel than Cable truth be told -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:33 6
  - Cable is probably my least favorite character in the X-Verse. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 10:40 2
    - He is up there, for sure. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:41 1
      - I'm trying to think of someone else. Magik, maybe. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 10:44
  - But Vanessa makes no need for Siren. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:35
  - I don't know who Cable is or Outlaw or Black Tom -- nm - amoxy Feb 15, 10:34 1
    - Black Tom is an X-Man villain. Him and Juggernaut show up in the first two Deadpool limited series' -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:41
deadpool poll: yes/no - Reynolds is a better Deadpool than Hugh Jackman is a Wolverine, or Christian Bale is a Batman, and is even with RDJ's Iron man -- nm - Truman Feb 15, 10:28 10
- Originally, Jackman was perfect. Now I hate the character, probably because of him. So (orig) Jackman > Reynolds > RDJ > Bale. - JaxSean Feb 15, 10:36
- I think they're all about equal with Jackman and RDJ being at the very top. - Mel Profit Feb 15, 10:35
- Yes, yes, draw. -- nm - Ender Feb 15, 10:30
- No. As I said, they all have costumes to fall back on. Jackson does not. -- nm* - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:29
- IMO the only better casting has been RDJ. - groiny Feb 15, 10:29 5
  - Deadpool is 50% suit. Hugh did that half with his body. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:32 2
    - to be honest, wolverine is like 50% claws and growling though. -- nm - Truman Feb 15, 10:42 1
      - and really, through no fault of his, Jackman's wolverine is pretty tame. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:46
  - agreed. the thing that benefits him alot is the costume; I mean, other than the voice that could have been anyone under there -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:30 1
    - I disagree. No one sells snark like RDJ and Reynolds. That is why they stand out -- nm - Epiphany Feb 15, 10:44
We have adjusted over there. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:27 3
- +107 is a bigger halt-to-adjust price difference than the first Avengers. -- nm - Max Feb 15, 10:36
- based on this week's openers, it should clean up again this weekend coming too. -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:28 1
  - I'm going to hold it long til delist I think. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 10:29
Even an intense migraine could not ruin the awesomeness that is Deadpool for me. - The Death Sceire Feb 15, 10:19 6
- Deadpool spoilers - Beryllium Feb 15, 10:23 1
  - Yes! (spoils) - The Death Sceire Feb 15, 10:32
- I did notice that Fandango has some sort of an exchange policy now. Has anyone looked into that? -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:21 2
  - I think you can exchange/refund up to 2 hours before showtime. - iSpam Feb 15, 10:24 1
    - That is rather awesome. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:38
- that is almost exactly the boat I was in Thursday night when I saw it. - groiny Feb 15, 10:21
Looks like the studio is going to screw us on the adjust with an extremely low-ball estimate of 150M. -- nm - GregW Feb 15, 10:15
Happiness is discovering you have a new episode of TWD on your dvr -- nm - Jovian Feb 15, 10:11 6
- That was an A episode. We just finished. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Feb 15, 10:28
- Better Call Saul starts tonight as well -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:16
- Yes and no. This is one that makes me consider dropping it. - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:15 3
  - Nearly every episode makes me think the same thing. But I keep on watching. -- nm - Covington Feb 15, 10:36 1
    - I have never considered it before. I dropped the book because they killed Glen, though. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:40
  - you are crazy -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 10:21
last night I made herbed grilled lamb chops, roasted yukon gold potatoes with rosemary and thyme, and organic rainbow carrots with parsley - crash davis Feb 15, 10:05 3
- And what did you make for trish? -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:16 2
  - a bowl of cereal -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 10:36 1
    - i'm surprised - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:41
For those of you still not on the Casey Neistat bandwagon, his latest video shows the crowds that show up when he does a public talk. -- (link) - Mop Feb 15, 10:03 [youtube]
According to David Axelrod, Scalia asked for Kagan's appointment. -- (link) - Mop Feb 15, 10:00
If it were Ginsburg instead of Scalia would the Republicans have the same position? -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 10:00 4
- [deleted]
- With the chance to make the balance 6-3 if they win in the fall? Chubbah, please -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 10:19
- Sure. Right now it's about flipping a conservative seat to a liberal one. But they'd be just as rabid - maybe more so - about flipping a liberal... - Mop Feb 15, 10:01
- of course. -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:00
Deborah Ann Woll liked my tweet. Whoo baby. -- nm - Shaun Feb 15, 09:59
So, any Comcast users on ST? -- (link) - Mop Feb 15, 09:52 5
- TV not internet -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 15, 10:33 1
  - basic cable chanels working fine here....they better not be messing with Saul -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 15, 10:36
- It is somewhat slow, but it is still working for me. I must be just out of the outage range -- nm - amoxy Feb 15, 09:56 1
  - we were out for a while. I think it's back for the most part. we are currently watching stuff on DVR. -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 09:58
- Thankfully I'm not working from home today. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:54
The Oscars prep has started in front of the Dolby -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 09:50
so I played Cards Against Humanity at a family birthday (wife's side), and it was pretty damn fun. - groiny Feb 15, 09:37 3
- First rule of CAH, never play with family. -- nm - MDH Feb 15, 09:45 2
  - actually it is: Always play with family. -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:46 1
    - Actually it is: meh. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 09:48
Time spent considering Supreme Court nominees -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 15, 09:30 3
- Wasn't Roberts already vetted as part of O'Connor's spot and then when Rehnquist died, he just got bumped up? - Will Hunting Feb 15, 09:36 1
  - [deleted]
- Looks like we will need a much bigger graph. -- nm - Washington Post Feb 15, 09:33
Holy f*ck, that Daredevil trailer! No wonder they've been keeping it under wraps for so long. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 09:28 7
- I really dislike them doing it in two parts like this. I really did not need to see The Punisher. - Spawn Feb 15, 09:34 6
  - I'm the exact opposite. My impression is the entire second season is about the Punisher. - Mop Feb 15, 09:41 5
    - Hmm.The Punisher is such a simple character, I really did not see anything that excited me. As for your impression, the roll-out order makes me think - Spawn Feb 15, 09:45 4
      - Oh, he is great for what he is: The anti-Batman. -- nm* - Spawndroid Feb 15, 10:14
      - you're simple! If done right he can be great. The Max series they did with Bullseye, Fury, Electra and Kingpin was freakin' amazing -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:01 2
        
        (the whole thing ended up in my keeper box :) ) -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:02 1
        
        and the series that included The Slavers, Man of Stone etc that tied the entire run together was also fantastic -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 10:03
How the Force Awakens should have ended (spoilers, duh) -- (link) - Mop Feb 15, 09:20 [youtube]
Beaker, catching up on the Jian Ghomeshi trial, the prosecution was caught flat footed. - Mop Feb 15, 09:18 7
- one other peripheral thing - Marie Henein has a portrait of herself aging somewhere. She's 50 now, and she looks younger than she did 13 years ago. - Andie Feb 15, 10:03
- that was my thought. the Defense destroyed the prosecution witnesses tesimony. I don't think the D needs to turn over shit though to the prosecutors -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:28 5
  - this is correct, also, apparently it isn't customary for the prosecution to prep their witnesses for trial. - Andie Feb 15, 10:01 1
    - if the prosecution finds it they have to turn it over, so sometimes they might not look as hard as they might... - Beaker Feb 15, 10:04
  - In CA it's reciprocal, but not in most States. The people voted to make it that way by a proposition. -- nm - jnine Feb 15, 09:48
  - Really? Man, I need to watch more law shows. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 09:32 1
    - if the prosecution finds it they have to turn it over; but the D can spring it I believe is the way it works -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:33
At the Phoenix airport, looks like the entire UCLA men's basketball team is on an adjoining flight. - ML Galaxy Feb 15, 09:15 1
- (Ah, they played ASU last night) -- nm - ML Galaxy Feb 15, 09:21
Had a good laugh with our pastor on Sunday. He gave a very nice sermon about God, sin, judgement, forgiveness, etc. except I told him after - oblique Feb 15, 09:09 4
- Did he get it after you said it? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:20 3
  - as soon as we mentioned it. we were on the phone and his wife basically heard what we were talking about and said "you are an idiot" to him :) - oblique Feb 15, 09:22 1
    - hee -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:22
  - phrasing -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 09:21
Spawn, if you thought that was overly sexual, you haven't been watching the internet or adult swim. - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:07 15
- Just saying, you kind of missed a good portion of what was there. spoils - Spawn Feb 15, 09:16 1
  - I'm just saying kids under probably 12 should not be seeing it. 13-14 is debatable. - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:20
- a typically Archer episode is as bad or worse than Deadpool was -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:08 12
  - cartoon porn is not really porn -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 09:10 11
    - There is *literally* entire cartoon porn genres. You should just go google "Kim Possible Images" now. - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:50 1
      - oh, I know, but it is not real. - groiny Feb 15, 09:57
    - you....really need to watch Archer -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:29 2
      - I watched 3 seasons worth of Archer. -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 09:30 1
        
        Yup. A cartoon is a cartoon. It is all someone's imagination. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 09:47
    - other than (Deadpool spoils) - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:17 5
      - Not exactly. spoil - Spawn Feb 15, 09:20 4
        
        yeah, I noticed that on the first viewing. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 09:29 1
        
        I thought so on the first, but confirmed on the second. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 09:35
        
        Really? I didn't see anything other than boobies. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 09:21 1
        
        Second viewing. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 09:25
Your curling shot of the day -- (link) - Reagen Feb 15, 09:01 5
- "NOOOOOOO okay that's fine." -- nm - Max Feb 15, 10:32
- Awesome. -- nm - Mop Feb 15, 09:22
- He was really overcome by his accomplishment -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 09:02 2
  - I don't know...I can't get all excited about large frozen bar shuffleboard either. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Feb 15, 09:22
  - That was a pretty bad display of poor sportsmanship. He'll be the Canadian Cam Newton soon. -- nm - spamlet Feb 15, 09:13
The good thing is we live only 30 minutes away from that place. Feels good to be home. -- nm - CQ Feb 15, 09:00
this is pretty funny -- (link) - groiny Feb 15, 08:58 [youtube] 4
- Even though this is Monday, that probably is the dumbest thing I will see all week -- nm - amoxy Feb 15, 09:11 2
  - you should go watch SPring Breakers again -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 09:12
  - you're welcome -- nm - groiny Feb 15, 09:11

- Does Sri count? -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 09:01 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - Sri is who I'm thinking of. He was confirmed 97-0. He's viewed as a moderate though clearly leaning liberal. My point was someone recently unanimously - pmb Feb 15, 09:26 6
      - Apparently Sri and Ted Cruz are personal friends too so that could add to the awkwardness. -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 09:47 1
        
        and Rubio voted for him as well. CNN asked him if he would vote for him again and he wouldn't say yes. he didn't say no...but... -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 09:51
      - i'm more in dawson's creek -- go full "we got our Scalia" given the full obstruction posture of McConnell - sweet baboo Feb 15, 09:34
      - [deleted] 2
        
        I'm not saying it will work. I don't think anyone will get through. It just makes a compelling argument for using it as a rallying point against - pmb Feb 15, 09:45 1

- it needs to be the equivalent of swapping Thomas for Marshall -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 09:00 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - alas, Article II of the Constitution does not apply to black presidents -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 15, 09:03
    - lol -- nm - GOP Senators Feb 15, 09:01
- I like the suggestion of naming the most conservative choice he can find and make the Senate look even more ridiculous. -- nm - Tim Feb 15, 08:59 2
  - that is thinking too much as someone will likely figure that out and make them confirm that person -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 09:00
  - [deleted]
- ~it's all about the base~ -- nm - Strongbad Feb 15, 08:59 2
  - also: the SCOTUS has been Conservative for 50 years? - Strongbad Feb 15, 09:06 1
