William Gibson weighs in on a possible trump running mate -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 25, 18:45 10
- he needs help with females and minorities,I think David mentioned Omarosa? -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:53 4
  - That pretty much guarantees him a few members of Omarosa's family, and no one else. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 19:03 3
    - But why would David want any members of her family? -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 19:04
    - I wasn't being serious, Mop -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 19:04 1
      - Every vote counts! -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 19:28
- Whoever it is, it's got to make Trump impeachment-proof. Can you say President Palin or President Rock? -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:52
- Trump said he wants someone with government experience. Everyone, please welcome: Dan Quale -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 25, 18:49
- We all know it's Vince McMahon. -- nm - Roger More Mar 25, 18:46 2
  - Yeah. Or William Atherton. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 18:53 1
    - "It's true, the Vice President has no dick." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 19:05
Batman v Superman spoiler - Mop Mar 25, 18:45 7
- Spoils - Shaun Mar 25, 18:47 5
  - Not true, though. spoils - Spawn Mar 25, 18:48 4
    - Oh? - Marlowe Mar 25, 18:59 3
      - spoil - Spawn Mar 25, 19:03 2
        
        Oh, right... - Marlowe Mar 25, 19:10 1
        
        spoils (and above) - Spawn Mar 25, 19:22

I think the most fun my kids had on the road trip was collecting people on Nintendo Streetpass. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:40
Pros: I think I narrowed down the cause of my digestive issues. (IM contains TMI. It's a TMIIM.) - Beryllium Mar 25, 18:39 8
- You want TMI? - Mop Mar 25, 18:50 3
  - Is that not what I alluded to? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 18:54 2
    - Is this a common thing? Someone must know what causes it. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 19:27 1
      - HFCS -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 20:38
- Soda with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it usually does it for me. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 18:48
- ooh, that sucks, I love soda -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:45 2
  - Soda's great. Canned stuff works fine. It's dirty f***ing fountain spigots that are the problem, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 18:48 1
    - There's also more sugar in the fountain drink. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 19:31
I found a lump on Mr. Darcy's throat this afternoon. He's at the vet and he doesn't believe it's cancer. - Krusty Mar 25, 18:39 16
- Awww. Poor kitty. -- nm - Dano Mar 25, 19:22
- And because I think you might appreciate this: When she was in her mid 20s, my cousin got a pomeranian (Mabel) - ty97 Mar 25, 18:48 1
  - 😁 That's so great. 20 more! 😉 -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:51
- Age? I am glad the vet thinks it's going to be fine. -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:45 8
  - Just turned five a couple of months ago. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:45 7
    - Age is on his side then. Good, young little kitty will be fine most likely. Glad you caught it -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:46 6
      - He's a dog I walk that I've walked since he was one. My favorite, I love him. If he was mine I'd be screwed. - Krusty Mar 25, 18:49 5
        
        Good little pup. You have cats too right? -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:55 1
        
        Yes, two. It was a good assumption that I was talking about them. They're doing fine. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:57
        
        Especially a Sunday surgery. Around here, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:50 2
        
        It's also Easter Sunday. I think the vet is Jewish so they're good there. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:52 1
        
        An Evil Jewish Vet? -- nm - Dr. Evil Mar 25, 20:15
- oh no, glad they don't think it's cancer and hope it turns out to be minor - ty97 Mar 25, 18:41 1
  - I was very worried until I got the text from his owners a few minutes. I'm very relieved that the vet said he'll be just fine. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:42
- Sending good thoughts. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:40 1
  - indeed -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:41
I just saw the play ty was talking about. Hah -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:39
Zags time! -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:34 1
- You did good with the Ducks last night. I'm counting on you to continue that :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:36
How bout them Irish! - The Real Death Sceire Mar 25, 18:32 8
- Grats! Oh and Go Irish!!!! I want them to win in the Elite Eight! -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:44 2
  - You're horrible. - Krusty Mar 25, 18:53 1
    - Jenbro's team did really well having me pick them to win it all. -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:56
- Congrats! -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 18:43
- Indiana basketball!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:33
- not the result I wanted, but I salute ND's rally. Good on them! -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:32 2
  - A dull game for the most part, but a hell of a finish. -- nm - The Real Death Sceire Mar 25, 18:34 1
    - If my math is right, ND shot 24% in the first half and 58% in the second. (Edit to correct math.) -- nm* - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 25, 18:35
Supergirl not listed among 11 shows renewed by CBS. -- (link) - Mop Mar 25, 18:31 12
- But Supergirl vs. Batgirl begins this fall -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:43 1
  - Rowr. -- nm - Straight men everywhere Mar 25, 18:50
- There is virtually no chance CBS doesn't renew a show that's doing the numbers Supergirl does. -- nm - Qale Mar 25, 18:40 6
  - *phew* -- nm - Jeb! Mar 25, 18:41
  - Then why do they balk at this but renew Madame Secretary? -- nm* - Mop Mar 25, 18:41 4
    - There could be some behind the scenes crap going on like cost per episode or the Kryptonian wants a raise or some such -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:43 1
      - I can't imagine the show costs much to make. The SFX are sh*t. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:46
    - They don't own Supergirl, they own Madame Secretary which makes it cheaper. -- nm - Qale Mar 25, 18:43
    - The night it's on? -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 18:42
- The only one on that unrenewed list I care about is Limitless. -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 18:36 2
  - It'd be a damn shame if it was canceled. They should follow it up with another movie. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:40 1
    - I thought the ending of the movie was weird, I'd love to see a sequel that makes up for it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 25, 19:04
Looks like Man of Steel 2 (also starring Batman) is gunning for a pre-summer record opening. So, review-proof, then? -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:28 1
- Yep. People are going to see it regardless. It just won't have legs. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 25, 18:32
it got good at the end -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:27
I'll never understand basketball. Down by 3, why do you shoot a 2? -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:27 21
- It's common. Get the uncontested points and extend the game. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 25, 18:32
- If the easy two is there, take it. Extend the game -- nm - JD Mar 25, 18:29
- Because of that. -- nm - JD Mar 25, 18:28
- that is why -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:28 16
  - ty turned into pixie so quickly that I did not even notice. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:29
  - except that's not normal (it's just ugly) -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:28 14
    - Because that is how you win the game. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:30
    - take the points you can get and play D for another opportunity -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:30 12
      - I guess, it just feels like going for a field goal when you're down 5 points with less a minute to go in football. - ty97 Mar 25, 18:31 11
        
        In football, it really is a lot tougher to force a turnover -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:35
        
        Ah..but the huge difference in the sports is how quickly possessions can change. Go for two and down 1. So if can't get stop, then quick foul - JD Mar 25, 18:35
        
        If they hit a three, all they do is tie. They needed at least four. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:33 8
        
        No, the needed three to stay in the game. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:34 7
        
        I should have also said a three is a heck of a lot less certain than 2 from 2 feet away. But you know that -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:38
        
        No, they needed four to force the other team into a must score situation. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:37 5
        
        Ok, so overtime doesn't exist in basketball, I got it now. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 18:38 4
        
        Fouling college kids with pressure on, is a great way to get back into a game. Score the two then foul and have em choke one at the line -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:46 2
        
        and no time is running -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:46 1
        
        ty clearly thinks all college players are Steph Curry. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:47
        
        Not when you have key players in foul trouble. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:39
- Duh -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:28
I'M HOME! With one... two... THREE! ALL THREE KIDS! -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:22 5
- Are they all the same kids you left with? -- nm - nic to be determined Mar 25, 18:34 1
  - Meh -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:35
- Wait... did I always have 3 kids? -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:25 2
  - well, you do have a 1962 DB 4, and 3 child seats in it -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 25, 18:31
  - Wait until you find out about the secret fourth kid -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:27
Uber from L.A. to Coachella via Blade helicopter. -- (link) - Meg Mar 25, 18:20 1
- Apparently this is common for Uber, but the first time they partner with Blade. I'd like to see this more frequently, so it gets more affordable. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:24
Well, here I am. -- nm - Spawn Mar 25, 18:13 5
- Does that seem right to you? (nm) - hardcore howie Mar 25, 18:38
- Entertain me! -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 18:24
- What time are you seeing Superman vs. Batman tonight? -- nm - Bacon Mar 25, 18:20 1
  - Tip off is at 10:05pm EST. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 25, 18:21
- rock you like a hurricane? -- nm - crash davis Mar 25, 18:13
