- Bangkok - Spawn Jun 20, 12:39 1
  - Bangkok has him now -- nm - budice Jun 20, 12:40
- Thailand and Paris are both pretty amazing. Oddly, depending on when you go. flying to BKK could be cheaper than Paris. - ty97 Jun 20, 12:39
Dear Russia - Reagen Jun 20, 12:24 1
- Lol, Russia -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 20, 12:26
Wait... there was a Lost Boys *trilogy*? - Spawn Jun 20, 12:22 2

- realz mon' -- nm - budice Jun 20, 12:34

- Short Amex! -- nm - budice Jun 20, 12:33

  - May I introduce you to one of your favorite new travel points friends -- (link) - ty97 Jun 20, 12:33 1
    - Yep. The most advised gateway drug to the world. -- nm - spamlet Jun 20, 12:39
  - The Costco branded Visa looks pretty decent--the 4% off gas purchases is very nice. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:26
- Interesting. They went Mastercard up here and I figured that was where they would go down south as well. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 12:23 3
  - It appears we are a bit smarter down here! -- nm - Spawn Jun 20, 12:24 2
    - unless the presidential candidates have changed...no--no we're not -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:24 1
      - Wait for it... --nmbp - Spawn Jun 20, 12:27

because ST is smart and knows all things ... is it home owners association or home owners' association ? -- nm - call me Ishmael Jun 20, 12:09 7
- From all the complaints I believe homeowners belong to an association but the association does not belong to the owners -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 12:47
- I drop the apostrophe when writing on behalf of the city councillor I work for. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 12:11
- how many home owners is it? more than one is s'. one is 's. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jun 20, 12:10
- neither, it's homeowners' association -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:10 3
  - Or is the association made up off homeowners. #TeamNoApostrophe -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 12:12 2
    - that's how I see it the most, but if he's looking for the grammatical answer between one and many, it's my subject line. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:14
    - Exactly. Homeowners associations are my biggest clients. -- nm - Spawn Jun 20, 12:13
Welp, that didn't take long. FBI provides full transcript of Orlando 911 call to provide "highest level of transparency" -- (link) - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:07 4
- [deleted] 3
  - That's part of why censoring the transcript was a poor idea from the start. - ty97 Jun 20, 12:34
  - How else are they supposed to argue for bombing the shit out of people who had nothing to do with the attack? -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 20, 12:20 1
    - I don't think NE anti Muslim gun-toting trump voting neo crusader knows or cares about the difference -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 13:01
Light. It. Up. -- (link) - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:03
Is the Preacher talk going to increase in two weeks when the competition from GoT is gone? I'm intrigued by how the board finds it. - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 11:56 21
- I like it a lot. It suffers from the sames things normal TV suffers from but its a minor gripe overall. I like the character development. Its creepy - Epiphany Jun 20, 12:15 3
  - I am just glad they have sort of spoil - Spawn Jun 20, 12:18 2
    - yes - I care for each of them almost equally and that is hard to do in 4 episodes - Epiphany Jun 20, 12:20 1

- Your last sentence. The main dif between the comic and show is (vague spoiler) - Spawn Jun 20, 12:02 3

    - i subscribe to Better Call Saul through iTunes, so i forget that it is technically an AMC series - gerald Jun 20, 12:15 1
      - Oh yeah. I'm on that team too, though I would never have joined without BB. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 12:20
  - That is a rather... narrow statement coming from you. Unexpected. -- nm - Spawn Jun 20, 12:05 7
    - part of it is also hearing how their development process works, not a fan -- nm - gerald Jun 20, 12:08 6
      - You have piqued my curiosity. In what way? I haven't liked their post Breaking Bad/Mad Men output either until now, so I wonder if that plays a part. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 12:10 5
        
        I think you can take Night Manager out - I believe its was a BBC production that AMC just ran - Epiphany Jun 20, 12:17
        
        they want to essentially know the whole show, from start to finish, up front before they commit -- (link) - gerald Jun 20, 12:14 3
        
        This? Isn't it just they want to know the first season of a show? - Spawn Jun 20, 12:26 2
        
        it says in that story that they have been requiring something more than that, but they have appeared to be moving away from it. -- (edited) - b. Jun 20, 12:33

    - In truth I've gotten some decent stuff from them in the past. - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 11:56 1
      - The fact that I got something I had previously left in my cart was rather awesome. Plus with that one I got a few more good items, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jun 20, 12:08
    - 60" plasma #ftw! -- nm - Shaun Jun 20, 11:55 1
      - can't wait to see if I get a 42" DLP -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 12:15

- (I miss these posts) -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 20, 11:48
pmb, just to keep the conversation going... - Name Withheld by Request Jun 20, 11:45 [Backboard] 2
- Everything you say in your IM is true. That doesn't make it any more appealing for another candidate to step into at this point in the game. Because - pmb Jun 20, 12:02
- related from B2 - I think there'd be more blow-back from a Trump buy-out than a coup at the convention. - Roger More Jun 20, 11:47
