    - Are you sure? - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Jan 20, 12:52
- But then Bane was going to destroy Gotham with those same people in it. -- nm - eag Jan 20, 12:43
- Does that make Hillary the politician we deserve? -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 12:37
- Of course he did. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:34

- "Free agent Johnny Manziel says he achieved sobriety without professional assistance." - ML Jan 20, 12:23 2

I agree with B2: The Good Place was as fine a comedy as I've seen in years and everyone should watch those 13 episodes -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 12:16 32
- For those of you who watch this and then New Girl...how do they rank? - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:17 29
  - It's probably the best most unique show since Pushing Daisies. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 12:51
  - Having just finished Good Place, I'll say that it is a better constructed show, but New Girl is funnier. - Volnelk Jan 20, 12:51
  - Thanks for the below posts. I and maybe Diva as well are looking for lighter fare. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:34 3
    - Speechless, Black-ish and The Goldbergs are light comedies that I highly recommend. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 12:51 2
      - thanks for the recommendations. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:52
      - Speechless is new this season while the other two have a few seasons under their belt for you to binge on. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 12:51
  - The New Girl is rather basic. Common. The Good Place is unique. Special. - Spawn Jan 20, 12:27 3
    - I think New Girl's ceiling is "Funniest mainstream show of the decade" - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:47 2
      - I'm not sure I'd say that far; but it's better than Spawn says, and I don't think it's that dated, so should hold up ok. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 12:50 1
        
        the improv, which they then keep in the show and the cut scenes are what make it special. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:53
  - Inside - Andie Jan 20, 12:24
  - "Ok, but I need to just save my Madden game... Blake Bortles has like 300 yards passing in the first half" -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 12:18 1
    - funny on multiple levels: the dude saying it is from Jacksonville so fits but also funny for an NFL fan - Beaker Jan 20, 12:20
  - Good Place is better, and I say that as someone who loves New Girl. -- nm* - Dark Callisto Jan 20, 12:18 15
    - I may not survive a show clearly funnier than NG. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:19 14
      - I haven't yet watched any of this season of NG, but I'd say it has made me actually laugh out loud more. TGP is - b. Jan 20, 12:34
      - I haven't watched the final episode of The Good Place yet (though now I'm dying to), but they are just very different. The Good Place is just unlike - pmb Jan 20, 12:24 12
        
        You had me at, funnier Pushing Daisies. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:30 4
        
        "I'm going to ask you a series of questions to determine whether you are a good person or a bad person . . . Do you enjoy the California funk/rock - pmb Jan 20, 12:33 3
        
        this maybe would explain why I didn't like the 1st episode - Epiphany Jan 20, 12:38 2
        
        As Andie said, flip that and reverse it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:43
        
        ha. - Andie Jan 20, 12:40
        
        Yeah, I struggle to think of anything to compare it to. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 20, 12:25 6
        
        Defending Your Life comes to mind as close-ish -- nm - rollo Jan 20, 12:28 1
        
        Absolutely. -- nm - David's iPad Jan 20, 12:43
        
        I haven't watched a second of it, but the show's creator says he patterned the show after Lost -- nm - ML Jan 20, 12:28 2
        
        you should watch for the Blake Bortles joke alone -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 12:30 1
        
        >:( -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 12:53
        
        it's a bit like a cross between Arrested Development, one liners just thrown out that you have to pay attention to, mixed with less jaded feeling of - Andie Jan 20, 12:28
- not to be completely obtuse, but was that the last episode? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 12:17 1
  - for season 1 yes...Cancel Bear has it 4 out of 5 to get renewed so hopefully season 2 gets a go -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 12:18
geez, i don't think of myself as totally dumb, but this ft thing i'm reading on the inaugural address is testing me.... - x Jan 20, 12:15 7
- I'd probably have stopped reading, unless it was done in a william f. buckley, jr., twinkle-in-eye way. pretentiousness like that gets me. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 12:47 1
  - "The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 20, 12:52
- He was only faking being a simpleton talking like a 5th grader? -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 20, 12:38
- Most frequent use of chiasmus on ST - rollo Jan 20, 12:25 1
  - heh....nm - x Jan 20, 12:32
- Right click, look up. But is it worth it for words you'll never see again? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:16 1
  - Hah, doesn't work on syntheton. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:17
Oh, I should point out that this only counts matching posts, not repeating the word in the same post. - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:06 5
- from bb, that wasn't DT in Mop's post. :) - -- nm - b. Jan 20, 12:35
- you need a kind of reverse statistic. #1 word by person -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 12:10 2
  - that would be a whole different kind of analysis (but fun) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:10 1
    - Jim = word -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:31
- Hi! - Epiphany Jan 20, 12:09
Water is rising in the street outside. Glad I really don't have any plans this afternoon. -- nm - Meg Jan 20, 12:02 5
- better start duct taping the windows, I do believe pestilence follows flooding -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 12:05 3
  - it's raining. she needs: duck taping :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 20, 12:18 2
    - You know how it gets here after a shower of rain. Seems we've had less than an inch in 24 hours but the infrastructure just can't handle it. -- nm - Meg Jan 20, 12:21 1
      - I have had rain here most of the night and all morning. I expect similar results :( -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 20, 12:26
- you should go swimming -- nm - decline Jan 20, 12:03
well, in the true sense of turning it around. Bery. How many mentions of the word "love". WHo is the #1 lover of ST? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 11:56 23
- Davi-- ... no, who am I kidding. #1 has to be maj, right? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 20, 12:00 2
  - am I that love-ish? like, is that how you guys see me? (note that I am weirdly flattered by this.) -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 12:06 1
    - "I kiss you" figures in a fair number of your posts. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 12:13
- somewhat predictably, I love this question. -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 11:59 5
  - Amusing 'love' anecdote: My friend's 8 year old made her a birthday card last year. Her name is Kristen. - Andie Jan 20, 12:03 3
    - Awesome. :-) -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 20, 12:54
    - TTPOW. That's hilarious. How did they keep a straight face? - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:49 1
      - ha, no sit down. Just a 'thanks honey!" then, posted on FB for her friends to laugh at. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 12:51
  - I'm guessing you! -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 12:00
- There we go. Nice suggestion. 77,913. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:58 11
  - love is much greater than trump -- nm - decline Jan 20, 12:01
  - who's the #1 lover??? -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 11:59 9
    - spoilers - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:01 8
      - buwhaaa!! that cracks me up - Epiphany Jan 20, 12:05 2
        
        you're a love slut -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 12:06 1
        
        obviously -- nm - Epiphany Jan 20, 12:09
      - I would have guessed I'd be just outside of the top ten. as a percent of all words typed, my love ratio is probs better than david's. I'm #2!! -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 12:03
      - heh, that figures....nm - x Jan 20, 12:02 3
        
        I'm in #37. Given how prolific of a poster I am, that's ... kind of sad. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:05 1
        
        nah, perhaps you're with me, not so free with our "love" - it makes when we use it more meaningful. ;) - -- (edited) - b. Jan 20, 12:38
        
        it's like f-ing disneyland up in there :) -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 12:02

  - i'll allow it -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 11:58

  - that's quitter talk -- nm - prayformojo Jan 20, 11:57 3
    - peer pressure. it's just the excuse i need!.....nm - x Jan 20, 11:58 2

        maybe two....nm - x Jan 20, 12:02
- charlie and I are having an offsite meeting at 3 - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 11:53
OK, let's think of a different word that would be funnier to poll on. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:48 4
- viking -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 11:51 3
  - mentioned 2,889 times -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:53 2
    - my TV PSA would have me up there I'd wager thanks to the show -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 12:22
    - landbeck has only ever said it once. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:54
geez, Netflix has only been mentioned 5,575 times -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:45
OK, we'll make it a poll. Who are the top 11 posters who have mentioned Trump by name? - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:43 47
- me (does it include Trump as an si?) -- nm* - Beaker Jan 20, 12:13
- My interest is piqued: Where am I? Probably low. My overall output isn't there anymore. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 20, 12:03 3
  - #36 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:06 2
    - And I definitely know I use trump as a verb frequently too. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 20, 12:06
    - just post the list. :) -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 12:06
- Me? I suspect I don't post enough to get there, but it's probably been a decent percentage of my posts. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 11:57 1
  - Hmm. #12. And my numbering of anything above 12 is off by one (oops). -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:59
- MDH -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 20, 11:54 1
  - #22 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:56

  - I miss pixie. -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 20, 11:54 8
    - I miss TFox and kare. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 12:11 6
      - agreed. and I miss insulting that wookie like you can't believe. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:13 3
        
        Beating him in Blood Feud was so fun. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 12:14 2
        
        true fact: he drafts players based on how good he thinks they'd look in a pats uniform. [nm] - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:17 1
        
        Heh. -- nm - kelly Jan 20, 12:21
      - where did kare go? -- nm - ML Jan 20, 12:11 1

- this sort of feels like a post/poll that could get out of hand. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:47 3
  - The reality is, it's heavily skewed by participation level. More active posters are likely to talk about Agent Orange, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:48 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - hah. Yes, it shouldn't be indicative, and as was mentioned there are many other reasons to mention that name (TV!) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:57
- Where do I fall? -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:45 2
  - You are #5 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:47 1
    - I am not a number. I am a free man! -- nm - Spawn si Jan 20, 11:54

  - #1 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:47
  - he is the loosilu of trump posting -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Jan 20, 11:46
  - (also, you need to include drumpf) -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 11:45 6
    - I'll bet i'm up there with the drumpfs, hardly ever use the T word -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 12:09 2
      - ditto. basically I think it would drive him crazy which is why I'd do it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:18 1
        
        I do it because using the t word gets you ads for his book, hats tshirts, on fb you get groups you might be interested in -- nm - Z2G2 Jan 20, 12:54
    - this changes the total to 13,214 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:46 2
      - Does that include all the Drumpf SI posts? -- nm - Meg Jan 20, 11:51 1
        
        No, it does not. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:51
