      - Ah, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 07:46
- Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Lemieux. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:32
- Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Roy - groiny Jun 10, 07:31 1
  - I'd considered Messier based on the oilers, but ruled him out based on Canucks. - Beryllium Jun 10, 07:47

      - yep - I switched it. -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 07:30
      - I shorted when it passed $100m, I can't believe a horror movie got that high, good reviews or not. Although looking at the original's numbers, it was more popular than I thought. -- nm* - LMS Jun 10, 07:28 1
        
        The original would have adjusted to 108 or so. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:32

- shit...do we need to be worried about Laver and Brown now??? -- nm - Jim Jun 10, 07:10 1
  - There's a good chance Death has come for Brown 2 or 3 times and is now decided to bide it's time. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:12

    - I had a helluva time when we had to put our cattle dog down. - groiny Jun 10, 07:20 2
      - He gets around fine and people looking at him have no idea that he's sick. That makes it really hard to do. Would be so easy to put it off except for - zork Jun 10, 07:22 1

Clinton and Warren will meet this morning -- nm - zork Jun 10, 06:41 27
- I love her but there's zero chance she's the VP nominee. Zero. She doesn't help the ticket. - Krusty Jun 10, 07:01 8
  - It should be someone the Right doesn't hate. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:05 3
    - Who *doesn't* "the right" hate? Hate is the driving force of the GOP right now -- nm - TWuG Jun 10, 07:12 1
      - If you don't see a difference between Elizabeth Warren and Tim Kaine in terms of national loathing, you're purposefully missing the point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:18
    - the Right wasn't even able to get themselves together long enough to not let a thoroughly toxic candidate take their nomination. - Diva Jun 10, 07:08
  - some think her strong populism will go a long way to attracting the saner Bernie voters who don't plan to shoot themselves in the foot in November. -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 07:03 3
    - She doesn't need to be on the ticket to do that. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 10, 07:04 2
      - true, but it could be a dangled carrot. we are talking about possibilities, right? -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 07:05 1
        
        Putting her out there as a possibility could be helpful. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 07:24
- That's it, Hill. Kiss the ring. -- nm - David Jun 10, 06:59

  - :( -- nm - Epiphany Jun 10, 06:46
  - I wouldn't be shocked at a female VP. I would be shocked if it was her. - spamlet Jun 10, 06:46 7

      - And if he hadn't distanced himself from Clinton - it never would have been that close. -- nm - Jim Jun 10, 06:55 1
        
        Yep. He ran from the successes as well as the personal failings -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 07:03
    - Yeah - but that rising star shot himself in 2000. nm - Jim Jun 10, 06:48
  - Warren hardly needs to be kept engaged. She is one of the most enageged Dems there are. -- nm - TWuG Jun 10, 06:45 2
    - A full throated, "I'm With Her" vs "I detest Donald" are different things. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 06:51 1

    - Very true. Actually, many of this years RIPs have been of this ilk...but still - all of these folks at once? Really?? -- nm - Jim Jun 10, 06:43 1
      - I've been saying for a few years that this sort of news will become a daily thing. There are so many actors/musicians/athletes/etc. still alive who... - zork Jun 10, 06:49
    - yeah, as soon as I heard of Ali, I wondered how Gordie was doing. -- nm - Beaker Jun 10, 06:43

  - Yeah, that too. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 10, 06:58

  - NYSM will be higher, ~35 (i think) -- nm* - Andie Jun 10, 06:26 4
    - the first only made 29, and this one is spectacularly unnecessary. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 06:27 3
      - i think it beats the first. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 06:30 2
        
        I agree. It's totally unnecessary and yet, I can't wait to see it. *shrugs* - Jim Jun 10, 06:46
