"Charging Bull" sculptor asks NYC to remove "Fearless Girl" -- (link) - znufrii Apr 12, 17:45 16
- that's the little girl from MIB 1's alien detection test. the bull should be very afraid -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 12, 18:53
- What the crap is with no photos?? Why even print the article?? -- nm - Max Apr 12, 18:16 11
  - Right. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 18:53 9
    - Here's one. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 12, 18:55 [Image] 8
      - Here's another. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 12, 18:56 [Image] 7
        
        One more. This is just the statue alone. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 12, 18:57 [Image] 6
        
        That's pretty great. And I thought she was much closer. I say let it stand. -- nm - Max Apr 12, 19:15 1

        I do as well but his art work wasn't commissioned, he placed it in front of the NYSE illegally one night. - Krusty Apr 12, 19:15 2
        
        I think his argument fails to qualify for the copyright statute. His work wasn't modified. Plus once it's in public you lose control of what it means - Max Apr 12, 19:26 1
        
        Your second argument is the more important one, imho. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 12, 19:39

Just what I need, another investment account to check obsessively... (LYC, FWP, I know) -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 12, 17:26

Putin added, “I worked very hard on Trump’s 2016 campaign, and, at the end of the day, I have no more to show for it than Chris Christie does.” - crash davis Apr 12, 16:20 1
- He invented 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'. I find that funny. -- nm - Diva Apr 12, 16:32
Max, is that a work thing or a Forza thing? -- nm - David's iPad Apr 12, 16:08 5
- not an official meeting - they'll be at an eSports event but when I said I could come up they said they wanted to meet me. - Max Apr 12, 17:13 4
  - Nice! Ask them how we should Twitch. -- nm - Da5id Apr 12, 17:17 3

        This is live for the next couple hours and a format I endorse, but that's just like, my opinion, man. -- (link) - Max Apr 12, 18:15
"Before the band found mainstream success in the 1980s, the J. Geils Band were one of the more popular rock bands of the 1970s." - mara Apr 12, 15:53 11
- the inside two paragraphs from Rolling Stone say it so much better. - crash davis Apr 12, 16:14
- they were regionally popular in the Boston area but hadn't broken out like they did in the 80's when they went worldwide -- nm - Remlik Apr 12, 15:55 1
  - they were strong in Ohio because WMMS loved them -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 12, 15:58
- I think the key to that statement is "rock" band. Popular in the niche but not overall -- nm - JD Apr 12, 15:55 5
  - then they became punk! -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 18:39
  - In the 1970s 'rock' wasn't a niche -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:57 3
    - I think he meant genre; and that's my read, too, that they had more crossover success. -- nm - b. Apr 12, 16:02
    - But it wasn't the only form of top 40 music either. A band could be a very successful rock band and still fail to chart and thus be mainstream - JD Apr 12, 16:02 1
      - I think Remlik might be on the right track. The writer left out the regional part of their popularity -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 16:09
- yeah, that sentence confuses me -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:54 1
  - It's poorly written. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 12, 16:09
The Dutch ambassador’s tulip party -- (link) - prayformojo Apr 12, 15:46 1

Is there a triple face palm? -- (link) - Reagen Apr 12, 15:31 20
- "I mean, I just assumed everyone else who tried didn't know what they were doing." -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 19:09
- At...least he's listening? -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 16:48
- Did you see this one about our nuclear subs? -- (link) - mara Apr 12, 15:52 6
  - The funny part is that he still probably thinks they are "nuclear submarines" because they carry nuclear weapons, rather than because they are powered - pmb Apr 12, 16:08 4
    - That's what I was thinking. -- nm - Meg Apr 12, 16:27 3
      - "We'll sneak these subs in and detonate them right there in the harbor" -- nm - Meg Apr 12, 16:29 2
        
        They're unmanned, right? -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 16:52 1
        
        Of course ! -- nm - Meg Apr 12, 16:56
  - if he just found out, how could Kim Jong Un possibly know? -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:58
- *insert colorful phraseology here concerning the depth of ignorance present in our president* -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 15:42
- Well at least his chocolate cake was delicious and the most beautiful cake you've ever seen. -- nm - Jovian Apr 12, 15:34 2
  - Made by the same baker as the inauguration cake? -- nm - Meg Apr 12, 15:49 1
    - Nah. I don't think they'd take his money again. -- nm - . Apr 12, 16:00
- This could describe his view on every issue that he addressed as a candidate and now is actually responsible for as president. - pmb Apr 12, 15:34 4
  - Did we honestly expect anything different? -- nm - Meg Apr 12, 15:50 2
    - No, but I didn't think he'd admit it so readily. The shocking thing is that he actually seems to not have known how complicated it was. I assumed he - pmb Apr 12, 16:05 1
      - Dunning Kruger -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 16:22
  - "a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space - crash davis Apr 12, 15:36
- no one knew. -- nm - mud Apr 12, 15:33
- Now, explain the Middle East to me -- nm - Trump Apr 12, 15:32
Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry thinks Miami will sweep Patriot - crash davis Apr 12, 15:29 2
- I'll have what he is having -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 15:31 1
  - And of course its not like Bill Belichek or Tom Brady are going to remember this and post this quote all over the locker room -- (edited) - eag Apr 12, 15:38
If I ever return to working in a law firm -- especially a Big Law firm -- I want my official title to be "Sketchy Gay Partner." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 12, 15:27 4
- Not to be confused with "Sketching Gay Partner" -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 18:27
- You'd have to take lessons. -- nm - . Apr 12, 15:50
- [deleted]
- Sorry but Paragon Of Ethics is all that is available right now -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:31
I really love Chicago Dogs but I'm willing to let Krusty take me to Nathan's to try to change my mind -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:25 3
- It would be my pleasure. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 15:48
- Where you will eat 45 in one sitting -- nm - amoxy Apr 12, 15:28 1
  - Are you thinking that I will have a heavy breakfast that morning or something? -- nm - crash davis Apr 12, 15:30
New Board! -- nm - amoxy Apr 12, 15:25 8
- I just noticed your post on B2 and was about to come screaming to B1. - JaxSean Apr 12, 15:32
- Glad to see you here. How goes it? -- nm - pmb Apr 12, 15:28 6
  - Ehhh, Waiting on a phone call to see where I go next. Supposed to check out of the current place on Friday - amoxy Apr 12, 15:30 5
