Man, looking at these picks...this is RG3 in reverse. - ML Apr 14, 08:24 14

  - this was my thought as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:31 5
    - but like all picks, it will depend on how well they do evaluating talent -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:31 4
      - I see them packaging some in another trade. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 08:34 3

  - ummm you've seen the number of Star Wars Legos around right? -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:22 5
    - You have heard of Minecraft, right? -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 08:23 4
      - for sure, but the sheer number of Star Wars sets I would have thought they were easily #1. Especially with the smller cheaper ones they have -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:23 3
        
        The article is talking about the highest-selling single set, not licensed product line. -- nm - ML Apr 14, 08:24 2
        
        "Minecraft is currently LEGO’s best-selling licensed property," -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:26 1
        
        nm, you're right -- nm - ML Apr 14, 08:29
I think the basic flaw in their argument is that it is impossible to consistently argue that only you are able to express your opinions and exert - pmb Apr 14, 08:16
Beaker, it showed up on my FB feed, too. That's why I brought the subject up on ST. - Inigo Apr 14, 08:12 2

      - In fact, Smith said he was gonna try to get back to St. Louis with Mewes - I'll definitely have to check that out. - Jim Apr 14, 08:21 8
        
        He said that when he was in Indy, too. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 08:22 3

        I am sure Smith and Mewes have gay sex on stage in NY! -- nm - groiny Apr 14, 08:29 1
        
        Only if you are there, groiny. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 08:52
        
        I have to see this I think. - Mel Profit Apr 14, 08:22 3
        
        Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed Smith by himself. He's an outstanding story teller. - Jim Apr 14, 08:29 1
        
        He really has dialed back... - Mel Profit Apr 14, 09:03
        
        And he is a hell of a dancer. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 08:23

  - 2 was really good, 3 got weird. I'm hoping that 4 is more like 2 than 3 -- nm - decline Apr 14, 08:13 1
    - 3 does have my favorite moment from the show though - spoilers - Beaker Apr 14, 08:16
