    - iirc, Houston was the only major metro area that voted for Dubya. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 08:26 1

- WWE is trying to stop him from using the name Cody Rhodes, but they can't stop his wife from using Brandi Rhodes since that wasn't her WWE name. - Tim Sep 23, 08:18 1
  - problem easily enough solved .... "The artist formerly known as Cody Rhodes, aka (insert real name here)" -- nm - call me Ishmael Sep 23, 08:43
Please someone snopes and tell me this is photoshopped -- (link) - ty97 Sep 23, 08:14 1

so... *realistically*... if we were to, say, light off fireworks, on a beach tomorrow night, in a small town - Andie Sep 23, 08:08 10
- Here's how to do it, set up two fire pits, salt one with a couple cases of empty beer bottles, cheap shit, and fire off from there, wander back - zeitgeist Sep 23, 13:49

Destiny Peeps. They actually let Xur start with something. -- (link) - Spawn Sep 23, 08:04 10
- Just lots and lots of three of coins -- nm - J Sep 23, 08:08 2
  - Is anyone attempting the raid tonight? -- nm - J Sep 23, 08:22 1
    - I am down for whatever -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 08:24
- yeah, but those boots are garbage. -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 08:05 6
  - Ah, had not even looked at them yet. - Spawn Sep 23, 08:05 5
    - there are much better exotics to use, to waste a spot on them -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 08:07
    - I mean, really, how often do you look at a man's shoes? -- nm - ML Sep 23, 08:06 3
      - well, spawn does spend a significant amount of time under the table. -- nm - groiny Sep 23, 08:07 1
        
        Says the guy with the phallus for a machine gun. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 08:22

      - relatedly, ya'll gonna call Paul Turner up off the PS or nah - ML Sep 23, 08:06 1
        
        I hope so -- nm - decline Sep 23, 08:11

so I have an attic that has two rooms, a legal bedroom (has closet) and a bonus room (has no closet). I want to turn this into a guest suite - university of amanda jones Sep 23, 07:43 9
- twin is fine, if you need more, there is the air mattress, -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 07:53 1
  - (please note, we currently have a queen in our second bedroom, i want to get rid of it and get a double.) -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 07:53
- I would go for a trundle maybe? Takes up limited space but allows for couples. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 23, 07:49
- There needs to be an old box sealed up and left in there for when we come. - Spawn Sep 23, 07:45
- I think if you have the full air mattress and space in the living room or wherever (the lounge, rather), the twin in the guest room is fine. -- nm - mara Sep 23, 07:45
- twin is fine imo (use 4-8 milk crates as the frame and save money that way. Just have a nice frill along the bottom to hide the crates) -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:45 2
  - I can get a frame for under $50 on craigslist. -- nm - university of amanda jones Sep 23, 07:45 1
    - but stealing milk crates is fun! -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:46
- keep the twin bed -- nm - decline Sep 23, 07:45
Twitter at it's best -- (link*) - decline Sep 23, 07:42 1

Virgin America Stock Declines as Merger Concerns Surface -- (link) - ty97 Sep 23, 07:39 7
- You are my airline insider. We are flying on Virgin in January should this concern me? - Bacon Sep 23, 07:43 5
  - My issue with Virgin America and, to an extent, Jetblue and Alaska is their limited networks. - ty97 Sep 23, 07:57
  - I would not be concerned by any of this regarding flying in January -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 23, 07:47 3
    - We are excited. It was a great price, and I have only heard great things about the airline. - Bacon Sep 23, 07:49 2
      - The downside is that you'll like Virgin a lot and then they'll get absorbed into Alaska and not be the same most likely. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:50 1
        
        Exactly -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 07:50
- Ruh Roh! -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 07:41

- Their welcome to try but I doubt they're up to it. -- nm* - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:36
- I think I'm done, though. I just don't have the time. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 07:34 6
  - same. just too much terrible shit always happening to them after they make fucking idiotic decisions and choices -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:37 1
    - The Starks question their decision making abilities. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 07:57
  - I've never gotten past the start of Season 2 - decline Sep 23, 07:36
  - Wow. Negan may end up being one of my Fav TV villains of all time. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:36 2
    - All the same - I think I'm done. Maybe I'll make time for the premiere, but things are understandably busy here. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 07:40 1
      - Yeah, hang in there. But for me, TWD is in my top 2 or 3 this year. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:43
- Last night I was doing the math on using an airport as a stronghold after the zombie apocalypse. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:31 31
  - Two words, Cruise Ship. - Volnelk Sep 23, 07:49 8
    - but pirates! -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:50 7
      - butt pirates! -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 08:05 3
        
        poor ty -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 08:07 1
        
        Where has he been, anyway? -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 08:08
        
        "Arr, we be plunderin' the booty!" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 08:06
      - butt pirates -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:53
      - organize it like a carrier battle group with rings of smaller and smaller ships. - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:52
      - Zombie Pirates! -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 07:51
  - lots of room for manuevering; but so many entrances would make it hell to defend plus likely crawling with dead at the start (people trying to flee) -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:35 14
    - The thing that no one in that world seems to understand is that, the larger an area you claim, the larger area you have to monitor and protect. - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:39 7
      - they should have had the big outer wall; but follow-up with 1 or 2 inner walls to fall back into like most castles had -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:40 6
        
        (they should have gone back to the prison and fortified it again) -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:41 5
        
        agreed. and stick to one main area. completely block off other sections. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:44 4
        
        As I mentioned below, the high-rise hotel in Fear TWD is an amazing set-up. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:47 2
        
        God no. (FtWD spoilers) - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:55 1
        
        spoils - Spawn Sep 23, 07:57
        
        (I would have gradually cleared them to avoid breakouts and also make it harder for attackers to know where to concentrate) -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:46
    - Most of the entrances are from the fenced side, plus are high off the ground. Any good area will need clearing. A good crew would learn to do it quickly/efficiently. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 23, 07:37 5
      - all the luggage openings would be hell to defend and lockup -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:37 4
        
        plus so many glass windows for either an attacking force with guns or zombies to breach -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:38 3
        
        Nobody would be fool enough to attack us, silly. The windows are all high, so no zombie. - Spawn Sep 23, 07:42 2
        
        agree with both as great options. -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:47 1
        
        I might even keep a few rooms on the second floor (if not the entire second floor) filled with a number of zombies to use as a weapon if necessary. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:51
  - Read Station Eleven for more on that. -- nm - TWuG Sep 23, 07:32 3
    - Any good? -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:35 2
      - I thought it was very good. Spoils - TWuG Sep 23, 07:54 1
        
        Thanks. Might check it out. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 08:06
  - you lead such an exciting life... -- nm - decline Sep 23, 07:32 2
    - I have an hour commute home. I like a variety of activities during those drives. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:34 1
      - *remembere a scene from Scream If You Know What I Did Last Summer* -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 07:35
Magnificent Seven 124.91 ; Storks 88.61 -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:26 2
- I kind of think short both. -- nm - university of amanda jones Sep 23, 07:29
- 63% (88/51) and 57% (29/22) respectively at RT -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:26
Like I said about Gary Johnson, a vote for Evan McMullin means you're an idiot. -- nm - MDH Sep 23, 07:25 3
- Erick Erickson, so... -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 07:55
- Unless you'd vote for Trump otherwise, in which case, go right ahead! :) -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 23, 07:28 1
  - Yeah, or at least would make them *less* of an idiot. -- nm - Spawn Sep 23, 07:32
Rings delayed till February 2017 -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 07:23
Brange split updates - Brad's people admits he was drunk and there was some sort of physical confrontation on the plane with @ least one of the kids. - Diva Sep 23, 07:22 13
- supposedly it happened at a small airport in International Falls, MN - ML Sep 23, 07:30 2
  - no wonder he was drunk. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 07:35 1
    - right? -- nm - ML Sep 23, 07:36
- The kid in question is 15. That's no defense if Brad did something, but I was picturing a 4 year old for some reason. -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 07:26 9
  - Drunken Fighting Dad is not a good look. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 07:28 8
    - I'll admit - this made me think of the Pikey. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 07:46 5

        Good dags. D'ya like dags? - Spawn Sep 23, 08:23
        
        the more I think about it the more I laugh. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 23, 08:09
        
        thx. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 08:06
    - First rule of Drunken Fighting Dad is do not talk about Drunken Fighting Dad. - Bacon Sep 23, 07:29 1
      - that was funny though. -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 07:30
The Attic Board. All attics all the time -- nm - Bacon Sep 23, 07:21
Speaking of attics, I'm on the last episode of Stranger Things. So good. -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 07:21 1
