      - Oh, yes, I see. Leaning against Linda Cardellini. -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 14:39 1
        
        I would not mind being the creamy center in that cookie. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 14:41
- I'm not sure about Hawkeye's hair. or Witch's either, for that matter. And Thor looks unsure about his own pose. -- nm - Max Nov 27, 14:22 2

- Or... what Tim said. - Mop Nov 27, 14:18 3
  - if username=mop then say HERE ARE THE LAST FIVE LINKS POSTED, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:26 2
    - *changes username to "mop" instead of "Mop", breaks everything* -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 14:35 1
      - It could happen. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:44

$50.8M actual for Coco, $41.1 for justice League -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 14:13
A woman went to the Washington Post with a story claiming to have been impregnated by Roy Moore. She was lying and working for - Tim Nov 27, 14:10 8
- But then WaPo ruins everything by posting an article about online shopping with a pic of someone in a store parking lot! -- (link) - Max Nov 27, 14:15 1
  - It’s extra funny because they’re owned by Bezos. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:16
- I know it's not allowed, but can't we just have the NSA target these groups and at least fry all their electronic devices and credit cards? -- nm - Max Nov 27, 14:13 3
  - ??? It’s not allowed because one day there may be a temperamental manchild with poor impulse control as president. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:14 2
    - That seems unlikely. -- nm - TWuG, neck model Nov 27, 14:30
    - But come onnnnnn -- nm - Max Nov 27, 14:15
- WaPo's story on it -- (link) - Tim Nov 27, 14:10 1
  - Oh dear. -- (edited) - Diva Nov 27, 14:53

- I like it -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 14:08 5
  - I dig it. -- nm - Aquaman Nov 27, 14:09 4
    - Why would aquaman even say that? He lives in water. You can’t dig water! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:13 3
      - I think he would say that, but he wouldn't dig radishes. He would dig sea cucumbers. -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 14:17
      - because he was raised on land! -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:14 1
        
        LIES! What is he, an exchange student? Who did we send? The Shoveller?! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 14:15

Bucs HC claims to have used 14 different schemes to cover Julio Jones. -- (link) - budice Nov 27, 13:59 2
- I love Grimey, but he's not going to be able to cover someone Julio's size every play. He's 5'8"; Julio's 6'3". - David Nov 27, 14:09
- Grimey! -- nm - Amoxy Nov 27, 14:02
I wonder if I’m the only dumbass that didn’t realize that Cyber Monday started at Midnight Eastern time... - IrishStephen Nov 27, 13:50 1

Would you say this shirt is more for a guy or a girl? - J Nov 27, 13:50 12
- I've got to congratulate you on your design ability. If I wouldn't feel totally self conscious wearing that, I'd get a green one to honor your talent -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 14:01 1
  - Thanks! I'm just starting but it's been a fun process so far -- nm - J Nov 27, 14:04
- Since if offers both Mens and Womens versions, I'd say it's more targeted at the douche demographic. -- nm - Ender Nov 27, 13:59
- Ok, I was way off. It has been selling in men's only -- (edited) - J Nov 27, 13:58
- all you need is some balls hanging from a trailer hitch. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:57 1
  - If you're wearing it? -- nm - J Nov 27, 14:34
- Could see a girl reppin that -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:57
- Guy. -- nm - elf kelly Nov 27, 13:56
- Guy. -- nm - znufrii Nov 27, 13:54
- Kim and I agree it's for a guy. Any woman who wears that lacks subtlety. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:54
- Guy...or a naughty girl -- nm - Amoxy Nov 27, 13:52
- i feel like i'm more likely to see a guy wear it. (especially with that cut) -- nm - Andie Nov 27, 13:51
Colin, I'm in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Friend ID: 5927 9477 705 -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 13:47 2
- sent to you and Callisto! -- nm - colin Nov 27, 14:26
- Mine: 74062755471 -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 27, 14:15
I was singing Nivarna's "Come as you are" like Jerry Lewis a few minutes ago - Amoxy Nov 27, 13:45
My Fingerlings joke on Facebook was a big hit with moms. -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 13:44
NBA: Grizz fire coach David Fizdale. -- (link) - budice Nov 27, 13:42 5
- that seems rough given that mike conley is out.... - x Nov 27, 13:44 3
  - though don't get me wrong, i am all for the bottom dropping out in memphis!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:49 2
    - Thanks for the IM. I was going to ask why? While I don't know much about Memphis, I like Grizzly Bears - crash davis Nov 27, 13:51
    - In the superteam era, need all the help you can get. -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:51
- I guess they took Gasol's side. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:43
Martellus Bennett on IR after two games with Pats -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:40
So I finally listened to the 30 for 30 podcast on those hardcore kids that made the Yankees Suck t-shirts. - spamlet Nov 27, 13:20 46
- I skipped it for obvious reasons but your IM made me laugh. -- nm - Krusty Nov 27, 13:25
- I finally watched the 30 for 30 on Ric Flair. - groiny Nov 27, 13:23 44
  - Im due to watch it. -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:27
  - Still on my DVR. -- nm - spamlet Nov 27, 13:24 42
    - I am shocked he was ok with it, it paints him in a very ugly light IMO. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:25 41
      - I don't think there's any way to paint him in a great light without appearing absurd - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:32 25
        
        They didn't even touch on his financial issues, the most troubling aspect for me. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:36 24
        
        in the late 2000's Vince paid off one of Ric's wives divorce settlement. Rick retired and had a big WM payday - Remlik Nov 27, 13:42 2
        
        He just basically doesn't pay people. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the lowest credit score on record. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:42 1
        
        pretty much. he charges 15K for a 2 hour signing. Hogan is 75K -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:43
        
        Well, between the women (bigger deal in 2017 than 1987) and the drug/alcohol use, he was already a relic - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:38 5
        
        The animation of Sting's face was one of the funniest things I've seen in years. I laughed so loud I woke up Kim. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:41 4
        
        I've been watching some of the prehogan WCW stuff when they were at Disney. and man...that's painful stuff -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:46 3
        
        Now watch the WWF's post-Hogan stuff. You can tell they could barely keep the lights on. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:47 2
        
        oh god yeah. that was a *crazy* time. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:55 1
        
        I would love to go back to that era in real time when literally anything never seen before was possible to occur on a wrestling show. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 27, 14:21
        
        Man there was some great production value in the old WCW / TBS days. heh -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:38 14
        
        Until Vince forced NWA / WCW to improve, there was no reason to push the envelope. - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:40 13
        
        yeah. the NWA were all about the actual wrestling, while WWF was strictly a Saturday Morning Cartoon. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:41 12
        
        The New York Style, the Rock and Wrestling connection and cartoons made them sell a TON of merch, and they filled places - Remlik Nov 27, 13:43 11
        
        it is like Michael Bay vs an indie movie. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:51 10
        
        Stadiums and Sportscenters vs Gyms and tv studios. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:00 9
        
        to be fair, I always preferred those shows to the WWF shows. - groiny Nov 27, 14:05 8
        
        I loved World Class wrestling. -- nm - David Nov 27, 14:10 4
        
        Michael Hayes was one of my early idols. - groiny Nov 27, 14:16 2
        
        The Freebirds vs. the Von Erichs was always great. The wrestled virtually every week it seemed, but it never got old. -- nm - pmb Nov 27, 14:35 1
        
        World Class really had some great heels in those days - groiny Nov 27, 14:37
        
        I used to love coming home from school and watching WCCW on ESPN in the afternoons. -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 14:11
        
        I liked Mid-south and we got some of Lawler's stuff. the Georgia and North Carolina stuff just bored me. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:07 2
        
        Georgia/North Carolina stuff will always be my sentimental favorite. Black Jack Mulligan and Ric Flair were amazing. -- nm - David Nov 27, 14:10 1
        
        I agree. NOW I get the appeal of those guys (Besides Flair and Dusty) and that orgs back then and like watching that stuff -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 14:15
      - I think he's painfully aware of his many crippling personality flaws. Charlotte's ascension has helped him face his demons. - David Nov 27, 13:27 14
        
        I was always a Ric Flair guy, more than a Hulk Hogan guy. - groiny Nov 27, 13:29 4
        
        As a southerner, I never even really understood the comparisons between the two. One was a cartoon character while the other was the ultimate showman. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:30 3
        
        it was a Champ in one organization and a Champ in the other, no real comparison other than that. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:32 2
        
        In a way, it was like asking who would win a fight between a stuntman and action movie star. - David Nov 27, 13:38 1
        
        I'm not a big Hogan fan, but to be fair to him, he didn't need to do it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:45
        
        yeah, and you can tell that when he talks about it. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:28 8
        
        Wasn't the stuff about training with Greg Gagne's dad amazing? -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:29 7
        
        Vern was something else for sure. -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:40
        
        for sure, the old timers were much different than the schools today. - groiny Nov 27, 13:31 5
        
        No, I never heard that. What happened with it? -- nm - pmb Nov 27, 13:34 4
        
        it was 1989, it would have been a great time to get in the door. - groiny Nov 27, 13:55
        
        Nothing, I got a letter back thanking me for the interest, and told me..... - groiny Nov 27, 13:38 2
        
        hey who knew in 25 years you'd exceed that goal! - Remlik Nov 27, 13:47 1
        
        I had to work really hard then to gain any weight. - groiny Nov 27, 13:50
Luke Joeckel and Donald Brown played together for the first time sundany. It created the illusion that Seattle has an offensive line. - crash davis Nov 27, 13:20 9
- No sacks on Sunday -- nm - budice Nov 27, 13:27 4
  - Maybe that will boost the line's confidence but still a lot of that was Wilson. I saw a Niner launch a tackle that would have brought down a 6'4" QB - crash davis Nov 27, 13:38 3
    - Here's an amazing FYI. PFF gave Wilson a *perfect* running grade against the Falcons, 99.9. - David Nov 27, 13:42 2
      - what does a perfect grade really mean? surely Julio had a perfect grade yesterday -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 13:46 1
        
        It's a nitpicky site. They find flaws on a lot of plays non-analysts don't notice. - David Nov 27, 13:52
- (Duane Brown) -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:21 3
  - you are absolutely correct, I have no idea where the Donald came from -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 13:24 2
    - He was a RB a few years ago. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:25 1
      - I remember him from the Colts but he wasn't really that memorable. I think another Donald has intruded upon my thoughts today -- nm - crash davis Nov 27, 13:27
Your top 10 songs: Rockstar, Havana, Gucci Gang, Thunder, Perfect, Bodak Yellow, Too Good At Goodbyes, Feel It Still, Sorry Not Sorry, What Lovers Do - Tim Nov 27, 13:18 [youtube] 5
- Taylor Swift sold 1.2 million albums in the first week (which made it the #1 selling album of 2017), 232,000 in the second week. -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 13:24
- I can't decide who I like better between Post Malone and Camila Cabello. They're basically the two greatest artists of all-time. - David Nov 27, 13:20 3
  - She was in Fifth Harmony! -- nm - Tim Nov 27, 13:22 2
    - I didn't even know there was a First Harmony. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:26 1
      - That was The Supremes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 27, 13:28
word is that the 76ers have been unable to even get a single nba team to offer them a second round pick for jahlil okafor....nm - x Nov 27, 13:17 14
- I read that. It's strange that their not picking up his option ruined his trade value. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:19 13
  - yeah, but basically everyone just figures waiting until he's free beats giving up an asset....nm - x Nov 27, 13:21 12
    - You know, I'm the biggest draft pick fan on the planet, and even I struggle to see the value in NBA second rounders. - David Nov 27, 13:25 11
      - a second rounder won rookie of the year last year! other second rounders: marc gasol, hassan whiteside, deandre jordan, isaiah thomas, paul millsap... - x Nov 27, 13:30 3
        
        also, khris middleton is really good!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:34 2
        
        He is. My point is that the lower range is a DNPCD or an eighth man in a rotation. The high range is a solid role player/fringe NBA starter. - David Nov 27, 13:35 1
        
        it's much more likely that as jahlil okafor has already shown that he isn't that good that he'll also never get much better... - x Nov 27, 13:39
      - Agreed. I'd be fine with BK giving up yet another draft pick for him. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 27, 13:27 6
        
        he can't defend. he can't shoot threes. the game has passed him by....nm -- (edited) - x Nov 27, 13:31 4
        
        I heard Kyrie Irving can't defend, either... -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:37 3
        
        tied for 8th in the league in steals!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:41 2
        
        Then put Okafor under Brad Stevens rather than a team that wasn't trying to win when he played for them. -- nm - David Nov 27, 13:44 1
        
        we want no part of him. we run a motion offense!....nm - x Nov 27, 13:45
        
        Well, he's young. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 27, 13:29
I have 3 co-workers who saw Justice League over the long weekend, all 3 were positive on the movie. - groiny Nov 27, 13:16 1
- It got a B+ Cinemascore, which means that even diehard opening day fans only thought it was okay. - David Nov 27, 13:18
LYC: spamlet/ty97. So now that my points spree is done. I have two Chase Sapphire cards. Should I cancel one and get the Freedom Unlimited (no fee) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 27, 13:12 5
- Yes. If you'll use the benefits of the Reserve keep that. If not, keep the Preferred. - spamlet Nov 27, 13:17 3
  - I can see us using it more and more (Sapphire) as the kids are off at college, etc. It sounds like pairing it with the Freedom Unlimited makes - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 27, 13:21 2
    - You'll need a fee card to transfer points to partners. - spamlet Nov 27, 13:24 1
      - Yup. We haven't explored the hotel rewards options much yet but I think that's next on the list - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 27, 13:26
- definitely downgrade one. -- nm - psilotum Nov 27, 13:13
~You're all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl, eyes that sparkle and shine. You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine.~ -- nm - Spawn Nov 27, 13:11 6
- Poor Ringo. now that song is the Judge Roy Moore theme song -- nm - Remlik Nov 27, 13:13 5
  - based on recent societal norms, nothing can replace this classic song for creepy -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 27, 13:16 [youtube] 4
    - this one beats it.... -- (link*) - Remlik Nov 27, 13:19 [youtube] 3
      - next: we explore the lyrics in all Chuck Berry songs :( -- nm - peglegpete Nov 27, 13:23 2
        
        I suggest checking out Little Girls by Oingo Boingo for creep factor. -- nm - groiny Nov 27, 13:26 1
        
        right after 1 more listen to Dynamo Hum :)))) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 27, 13:37
