O'Reilly count is at 77. Wow. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:27 3
- Does that mean I can annoy his fans more by advertising my queer novels on the cheap? -- nm* - Qale Apr 10, 09:37 1
  - Buys a hundred copies for the next book burning -- nm - Outraged Florida minister Apr 10, 14:09
- I don't buy the advertisers who claim they're locked into a contract. Contracts always have "outs" for things such as these. Morals clauses and such. -- nm - Mop Apr 10, 09:30
trivia: Which President is estimated to have played the most golf while President? - crash davis Apr 10, 09:27 25

- Dubya. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 09:32 1
  - nope -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:33
- I'll say Teddy or Wilson. Somebody where there was a lot of of courses, but not as much public pressure on the President. -- nm* - Inigo Apr 10, 09:32 6
  - Well, Teddy seemed like he'd hunt as much as golf. So, Wilson. -- nm - Inigo Apr 10, 09:36 1
    - Inigo wins! Inigo wins! Inigo wins! -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:36
  - I'm sorry but this is key. I'm going to have to ask you to pick one -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:33 3
    - nah, I will just give it to you - Wilson. Golf was probably too sedate for Teddy -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:36 2
      - here - Spawn Apr 10, 09:39 1
        
        (as in, I stand corrected) -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:40
- Nixon? He's from California. Sounds like something he'd do. -- nm - Mop Apr 10, 09:32
- Nixon -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 09:31 1
  - nope -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:33

- Ford? -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 09:30 1
  - I'm afraid not -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:30
- Ike? -- nm - Reagen Apr 10, 09:28 1
  - that was my guess, but turns out he was #2 -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:29
- Obama. Until Trump passes him next year. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:28 2

- 350 -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 10, 09:29
- 550 -- nm - Epiphany Apr 10, 09:24 3
  - You people have WAY too much faith in others. - Spawn Apr 10, 09:26
  - Oh, oops, I think I might not have been clear. It's not a contest; I don't have the right anwer. I'm looking for opinions. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 09:25 1
    - I'm just baiting David. I really don't know but would Redbox have stats on this? - Epiphany Apr 10, 09:33
- 500 if people treat them well, 250 if they don't. -- nm - Da5id Apr 10, 09:22 1
  - So, 250 then. -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 09:35
- 100 -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 09:21
- 200 -- nm - pmb Apr 10, 09:20
- 50 -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:18 1
  - Heh, I kind of forgot about you and the missus! Ask her for me, if you would. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 09:20

Alabama ‘family values’ governor begs lawmakers not to release more lurid details of his affair -- (link) - Remlik Apr 10, 08:56 3
- C2E2? Did his affair involve cosplay? -- nm - Ender Apr 10, 08:58 2
  - damnit...stupid link....here's the corrected link -- (link) - Remlik Apr 10, 09:18
  - Let's be honest though -- of all the google link failures Remlik could have, this one is one of the safer ones. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:14
AMC Theaters offering teens 2 drinks and a popcorn for $10 -- (link) - budice Apr 10, 08:55 3
- I invite you to try offering teens a treat at a discount and see how that goes. -- nm - Mop Apr 10, 09:25
- how about I bring my own drink and snack and save $8? -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 09:02
- that is pretty good for Martinis. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:56
Finally got back to HZD on the weekend. spoliers - Shaun Apr 10, 08:54
Los Pollos Hermanos.... - Da5id Apr 10, 08:51

Eagles agree to terms with former Raiders' QB Matt McGloin on a one-year contract. - decline Apr 10, 08:47 7
- They willingly signed a guy so bad he actively submarined a darkhorse Super Bowl contender? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:04 6
  - Also, Matt McGloin is employed -- Jay Cutler and Colin Kaepernick are not. - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:13 5
    - I am guessing that Cutler wants starting money? -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:14 4
      - Thing is, is Jay Cutler one of the 32 best QB's in the league? Almost assuredly. - Will Hunting Apr 10, 09:16 3
        
        I'm just wondering if the teams where is he is obviously better than the starter, if the starter is under contract or some such. - crash davis Apr 10, 09:20
        
        I think it's a function of deciding to give starting money to a guy who is not your long term solution. Teams looking for a starting qb aren't keen - pmb Apr 10, 09:19
        
        But 32 teams don't need a starting QB, so that logic is a little flawed. - Shaun Apr 10, 09:19

Westbrook's 42 triple-double should guarantee him the MVP right? -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 08:29 3

      - me too. - Diva Apr 10, 09:00
      - on the list of things wrong with Kong, he was pretty far down the list. -- nm - groiny Apr 10, 08:48 7
        
        It is a long list. But I thought he was terrible and had no chemistry at all with Brie Larson. But there was almost nothing worthwhile in the whole - pmb Apr 10, 08:51 6
        
        And when you think about it, Reilly is quietly having a great career... - Mel Profit Apr 10, 08:56 3
