HBO Renews 'Westworld,' 'Divorce' and 'Insecure' - Marlowe Nov 14, 10:35 23

      - yep, Brooklyn Nine-Nine may be my *favorite* show, but when Game of Thrones and WW are on, they are the ones I can't wait to see next. -- nm - Max Nov 14, 10:54

    - YES! -- nm - David Nov 14, 10:47
  - haven't watched yet -- nm - decline Nov 14, 10:42

    - I do find it interesting that in a previous episode.... - Remlik Nov 14, 10:45 3

        gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:08

So this is where I am right now -- (link*) - ty97 Nov 14, 10:33
I closed the place down! Yup, nailed it. Made them laugh, made them gasp. There were questions, and folks stayed afterward to follow-up. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 10:32 2
- You're not talking about exposing yourself, are you? -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 10:33 1
  - I thought it was implied. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 10:34
I should marry a potential deportee. I mean, why not, right? -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 10:30 5
- iirc, they changed the law about 20 years ago, now if you marry an illegal they are still illegal, they would have to self deport and then apply to - z Nov 14, 10:38 1
  - An ex of mine got caught up in something of the sort. But he was doing it for money which was clearly illegal. -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 10:45
- Do you like to travel? -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 10:32 2
  - I don't get much opportunity to. If I'd stop going back to Atlanta twice a year and went elsewhere instead however... -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 10:34 1
    - go visit your family...in fact when is the next ST vegas meetup? -- nm - z Nov 14, 10:40
"On Nov. 27, NFL flexed KC at DENVER into Sunday night spot and flexed out Patriots at Jets." -- nm - ML Nov 14, 10:23 4
- "The Jets have done the impossible. They've knocked Tom Brady out of prime-time." - ML Nov 14, 10:32 3
  - That is good. I see that NBC has the Seahawks-Rams later on scheduled. I expect the Rams to have that flexed out as well. -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:39 2
    - Jeff Fisher's quest for mediocrity is Must See TV though! -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 10:40

CBS orders 6 extra episodes from Great Indoors and Man With A Plan (19 each); Code Black to get 3 more (16 total) -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 10:18 5
- Great Indoors is *horrible*, and I really like Joel McHale a lot. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 14, 10:19 4
  - I was shocked how awful it was -- nm - Epiphany Nov 14, 10:33
  - I feared as much. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 10:30
  - I really like Joel McHale and I really like the premise. So I'm hoping that it improves. -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:30
  - yeah, I don't watch any of them; but my wife likes Code Black. -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 10:24
So apparently women are marching on DC the day after the inauguration? - oblique Nov 14, 10:09 15
- I assume inauguration day is going to be a cluster fuck. But I said the same about election day. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 10:50
- Portland is having a funeral procession -- nm - z Nov 14, 10:43
- Yeah, they should just lay back and enjoy it -- nm - ty97 Nov 14, 10:17 9
  - see, you're already coming around -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 10:18 7
    - Plus, Trump looked at the camera on 60 minutes and said "stop it" to the protesters. So, you know, they should just stop it. - JaxSean Nov 14, 10:24 6
      - I've seen it portrayed in the media that way, but I watched the interview and in all fairness that is not accurate. He was specifically telling his - pmb Nov 14, 10:44 4
        
        That'll change their minds, for sure! -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 10:47 3
        
        Point is, in this post-fact world, we should not be adding to it. It's being portrayed as him telling protestors to stop it. That is not correct. -- nm - pmb Nov 14, 10:49 2
        
        Fair. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 11:08
        
        agreed -- nm - ty97 Nov 14, 11:02
      - Does this bother you? I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 10:29
  - Think of England. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 10:18
- Everything is too late, kilbo. Not too late would've been the first week of November. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 10:13 2
  - i don't agree. people shouldn't just shut up and sit down now that the election is over. that's apathetic and will lead to disaster. -- nm - Andie Nov 14, 10:16 1
    - Plus America is in permanent election campaign mode. -- nm - Roger More Nov 14, 10:22
I hate that Hoodie took even the joy of an NFL game from me. - Mel Profit Nov 14, 09:59 7
- Come to Russell-land, you are always welcome there. -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:15 6
  - (pete's a truther) - ML Nov 14, 10:18 5
    - Even worse... - IrishStephen Nov 14, 10:47 1
      - he's the worst. -- nm - Diva Nov 14, 10:48
    - The real truth is that I'm trying to not say much until we get Tyler Eifert's numbers tonight :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:27 2
      - I'm pretty confident he can get the 200 yards and 5 TDs I need to secure victory. -- nm - ML Nov 14, 10:29 1
        
        Stranger things have happened. Last year Eifert saved me from losing to David by having a monster game. -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:31
Todd Gurley..no bueno...FFL Bustin - budice Nov 14, 09:56 1
- yup, glad I didn't trade for him in Caveman -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 10:09
"I don't know Steve Bannon, so I have no concerns. I trust Donald's judgment." -- nm - Paul Ryan Nov 14, 09:49 6
- Note to Paul Ryan - Steve Bannon is this guy -- (link) - Roger More Nov 14, 10:20 2
  - He's de-balled, so there's not a lot he can do about it. - David Nov 14, 10:28 1
    - I'm very concerned that the media keeps grading Trump on a scale instead of as, you know, the goddamned President. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 10:34
- "Lie, lie. Placating the emperor." - Beryllium Nov 14, 10:12
- Offs. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 09:53
- "[Putin]? I don't know [Putin] but it would be great if we got along." -- nm - mad men madlibs Nov 14, 09:51
Doctor Who: (it's from the mirror but I'm seeing it elsewhere)...Capaldi and the new companion will have 1 season, then it will be recast... - Remlik Nov 14, 09:49 8
- *grumble* Sorry Peter, you're not hot enough. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 10:33
- So...I guess that's the new companion in the photo at the link. (spoiler alert?) - JaxSean Nov 14, 09:53 6
  - Can someone translate this for me? - JaxSean Nov 14, 10:00 5
    - I think it means back to the 7ppm or 6pm hour it was on in England. -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 10:03
    - tea time is 3pm-5pm (15:00-17:00) where that Strictly show below airs at 18:55 it looks like - oblique Nov 14, 10:03 2
      - Tea time = dinner time in this context. Early evening - 6 or 7pm. -- nm - Roger More Nov 14, 10:10
      - yeah, weird. So they want it on in the late afternoon? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 14, 10:04
    - Seems like it is some Dancing with the Stars show -- (link) - oblique Nov 14, 10:02
Nice series of tweets on how to get your congressperson's attention -- (link) - oblique Nov 14, 09:46 1
- #3: Series of tweets -- nm - con_carne Nov 14, 09:52
30 years ago today... Hoosiers. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 14, 09:43 1
- Hey! nmbSpawn - Inigo Nov 14, 10:05

- 2nd place in a beauty contest? -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 10:15
- class action lawsuit settlement ? -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 09:32
- TRUMP! -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 09:31
I probably need a new furnace. :( - Dano Nov 14, 09:24 2
- "Sure, I can give you some heat." -- nm - Max Nov 14, 09:55
- TRUMP!!!!!!! -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 09:25
Weekend Movie: The Party (with Peter Sellers) C-, Total Recall (original) A -- nm - amoxy Nov 14, 09:18 11
- Dr. Strange: B, Arrival: B+ (I didn't like the subplot so much) - Max Nov 14, 09:46 5
  - What's the subplot in Arrival in your opinion? -- nm - David Nov 14, 10:24 2
    - You still have a movie if it's just about aliens. - Max Nov 14, 10:53 1
      - it wasn't so much the (spoilers) -- (edited) - oblique Nov 14, 11:02
  - RE: Arrival. You mean the subplot with the aliens? :) -- nm - oblique Nov 14, 09:48 1
    - L3. -- nm - Baron More Dough Nov 14, 10:21
- You didn't like The Party? I love that movie. -- nm - pmb Nov 14, 09:37 2
  - I loved the drunken Waiter, but (and this was probably OK in the time) Peter Sellers character was pretty racist. - amoxy Nov 14, 09:40
  - word -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 14, 09:40
- Moonlight was great. Scott Pilgrim v. The World, I.. didn't quite get it but it looked cool. Road House (rewatch), A. Man, that movie rules. - con_carne Nov 14, 09:33 1
  - Read the Scott Pilgrim comics. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 14, 10:39
Here's your depressing article of the day... -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 14, 09:13 2
- That has been happening since Obama got into office -- nm - amoxy Nov 14, 09:17 1
  - At least. - znufrii Nov 14, 09:21
Don't see any sign of work beginning on our driveways. So much for moving our cars out by 7:00 pm yesterday. -- nm - Meg Nov 14, 09:07
Why are you so mad, Mep. They're good DBs, Map. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 09:02
David, the Trump comment was pushing the boundaries. I'm sorry. You can't betray me on XBox anymore to get revenge. So I apologize - crash davis Nov 14, 08:34 4
- Pretending your boys don't grab doesn't make them any less grabby. - David Nov 14, 10:22 2
  - I only admit to them playing very aggressively -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 10:32 1
    - (By constantly grabbing) -- nm - David's iPad Nov 14, 10:33
- It was meant in the spirit of giving you crap, but I realize it could be taken the wrong way -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 08:52
Regardless, I think we can all agree that the Broncos dude was obviously out of bounds... -- (edited) - Beaker Nov 14, 08:31 10
- he might've been. Too bad there was no clear evidence for it to be ruled so. -- nm - philip k mud Nov 14, 08:33 9
  - white shoes man, I don't know... -- (link) - NFL refs Nov 14, 08:35 8
    - (and I repeat what I said yesterday, how does the NFL not have cameras on both ends of the sidelines?!) -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 08:38 7
      - I've said that before. It's a billion dollar industry. There are 32 stadiums. There should be cameras covering every angle of the boundaries. -- nm - volnelk Nov 14, 08:54 2
        
        I will agree with everything you said except to state that it is a thirteen billion dollar a year industry -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 08:59 1
        
        can't afford full time refs either. -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 09:02
      - Doesn't the NFL rely on the networks for the camera stuff? -- nm - crash davis Nov 14, 08:42
      - I'm pretty sure grocery stores have the technology necessary to know if someone's crossed an invisible boundary. The NFL should look into that. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 08:42 2
        
        they should use lasers and have it burn a hole in your pants if you cross the line -- nm - decline Nov 14, 08:48 1
        
        *falls back on 'blue dot' censoring technology to deal with open-pants imagery* -- nm - NFL Nov 14, 09:03
Nov 14, 1965: The Battle of Ia Drang begins: The first major engagement between regular American and North Vietnamese forces. (We Were Soldiers movie) -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 08:29 5
- 1851 – Moby-Dick, a novel by Herman Melville, is published in the USA. -- nm - Beaker Nov 14, 08:30 4
  - 10 years later, the Civil War begins. Coincidence? Someone should look into that. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 08:32
