Also, Taylor Hicks, 4,400 albums sold on his 2nd album. Ouch! -- nm - Subversive May 21, 09:16 4
- Spoilers inside - MDH May 21, 09:17 1
  - I disagree. - JaxSean May 21, 09:18
- Though that one was a compilation of his pre-Idol CDs -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:17
- Well, at least there's a comma. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:17
I don't suppose any of you would know if stuff that shrinks in the wash can be brought back to its old size? -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:14 2
- generally speaking NO - Danedukenuuk May 21, 09:17 1
  - Flip it anyway. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:18
I have to admit, on the Idol show last night (I didn't watch all of it) Kara impressed me. (spoilers) - JaxSean May 21, 09:11 8
- also, Cyndi Lauper looked damn good for her age. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:15 3
  - She looked much worse on 30 Rock, all bloaty. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:15 1
    - well, she was one of the drunk ones! nm - Jovian May 21, 09:16
  - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:15
- except (spoiler) - Guy May 21, 09:13 1
  - Well, she - JaxSean May 21, 09:17
- her body was rock solid too -- nm - Jovian May 21, 09:12
- I rewound it a bunch. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:12
Hmm. I could win an XBox 360 if I use my scene card to buy terminator tickets ... -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:11
Will: That wiki chart is helpful, I have no idea who they are but Gracin and Pickler's second cds bombed hard -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:10 7
- Gracin and Pickler have the most unlikely careers of AI alum. They should never have been successes. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:15 1
  - She's opening for Taylor Swift on her tour which is pretty big though -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:17
- Where's Hung on that chart? -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:14
- Gracin was, iirc the country-loving soldier from S2? He wasn't bad in country-terms, but he wasn't special. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:11
- McPhee did not even get a second CD. - groiny May 21, 09:11 2
  - But at least McPhee is acting, Blake Lewis (whomever) didn't either, was he bad? -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:13 1
    - Well, he was kinda a one trick pony. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:15
Goodness it costs $30 to tour the Hoover Dam! I just want to walk around on my own! - MDH May 21, 09:05 5
- why weren't you there last week, huh? the hoover dam tour gets down to the bedrock -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 10:04
- I don't remember being charged anything. You just turn up, walk over a bit of it, look over the edge, go home. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 09:12 1
  - you forgot to wedge "spit" between "look over the edge," and "go home." -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 09:18
- There are two tours: a basic and a more thorough tour. The basic costs less than that. (neither are very long though) -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 09:10 1
  - Thanks, I'll call them because they have a Hoover Tour 30, and Powerplant tour 11 listed -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:11
My proposal for "ending" American Idol. - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:05 13
- If ratings are down this season, then lets hope it's the beginning of the end. - Subversive May 21, 09:12 7
  - I think Canadian Idol is taking a break just so I can catch up on the last 3 seasons. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:17
  - 100 million votes suggest no. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:14 2
    - But maybe next year it will only be 80 million..... - Subversive May 21, 09:15
    - 10 million of those were Stacy though. -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:14
  - Canadian Idol skipped this year due to the economy (which is beyond stupid, one of if not the highest rated show in Canada) -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:13 2
    - That's gotta be the stupidest invocation of fictional recessionary scaremongering I've heard yet. And I've heard a lot. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:16 1
      - the show is *really* expensive to produce though. -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:26
- cage match. -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:11
- Can't they just stop now and end the long nightmare we have all been forced to live through? -- nm - decline May 21, 09:09
- I disagree -- nm - Ripley SI May 21, 09:07
- I don't think all 10 are under contract - MDH May 21, 09:07 1
  - Ruben and Hicks would do it for the free catering. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:07
Tarantino's "Basterds" surprisingly tame war movie -- (link) - Loyola May 21, 09:01
This is correct, and I will give Papelbon this: I almost guarantee that if someone actually blew him up for a blown save and then mocked him... - TFox May 21, 09:01 3
- [deleted] 1
  - That's really the key. I have zero issue with the antics as long as you don't mind having them thrown back in your face when you get beat. - TFox May 21, 09:06
- Whoops. You know where this is supposed to go. - TFox May 21, 09:01
Difficult: Name all the American Idol winners. Really difficult: Name all the runner-ups. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 08:53 51
- So much for season 8 spoils I guess, in case anyone didn't know. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:00 4
  - Doh! That still doesn't make it right for me to put it in the Subject. Apologies, people. AI spoiler below from last night. -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:02
  - I agree, that's frustrating. But it's hard to miss. It's plastered on the front of all the news sites. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:01 2
    - To be honest, I think the risk of spoilage is the price you pay for the convenience of time shifting viewing. -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:02 1
      - On stuff like this, yeah. Like, if I taped the Cavs game last night, it's on me to not get it spoiled, not on all of you. -- nm - TFox May 21, 09:05
- hmmmmm - Jim May 21, 09:00 17
  - how do you not remember McPhee??? - groiny May 21, 09:00 16
    - did someone say McPhee??? - Jovian May 21, 09:01 13
      - I had no idea she was in The House Bunny. She made that movie way more enjoyable to watch. -- nm - TFox May 21, 09:03 3
        
        other than her belly. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:03 2
        
        her belly immediately brought this movie down an entire grade. - Jovian May 21, 09:05
        
        Well, yeah, but then the credits almost made up for it. -- nm - TFox May 21, 09:04
      - She is certainly in my top 5 hottest idol chicks. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:02 8
        
        and also, certainly no one from this season cracks a top five or even a top ten idol chick list. nm - Jovian May 21, 09:07 4
        
        untrue. Megan is near the top of my list. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:09 3
        
        her arm. that disgusting arm. brings her right down to a 6 for me. -- nm - Jovian May 21, 09:12 2
        
        last I checked, you cant fuck an arm. -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:12 1
        
        she'd be a 7 if she had the arm amputated. -- nm - Jovian May 21, 09:15
        
        her and Pickler are my two favorites -- nm - Jovian May 21, 09:05
        
        I smell a poll. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:05
        
        Yes, and IMO a contender for *the* hottest -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:03
    - That truly is an epic fail. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:01
    - Didn't watch that season. Sue me. nm - Jim May 21, 09:01
- The winners: Clarkson, Studdard, Fantasia, Hicks, Cook and now Kris (did I miss one?) -- nm - con_carne May 21, 08:59 17
  - Missed 2, including - arguably - the most successful Idol winner ever. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:01 16
    - Daughtry? - groiny May 21, 09:01 15
      - Underwood's got a huge career after winning the show. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:02 11
        
        Does Josh Gracin's career make him chart worthy? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:09 1
        
        Gracin and Pickler are two surprise successes, I believe. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:13
        
        I dunno, he has done a awful lot in a lot less time than those 2. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:03 8
        
        Carrie Underwood is absolutely huge in the country world and has even managed to cross-over to top 40. She's not just big by AI standards, but near - pmb May 21, 09:05
        
        Dude's had one album. How many is Underwood on now? - Jim May 21, 09:04 6
        
        once album, several top 20 charters..... - groiny May 21, 09:08 2
        
        Daughtry is at the table for pop....Underwood owns country. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:10 1
        
        and she has several more years on him. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:11
        
        Daughtry has 1; Carrie has 2. --- Here's a pretty good listing of all AI's talent / sales. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:05 2
        
        Of course, Oscar trumps all. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:10
        
        Nice. I could have sworn she was on #3 already. Maybe it's because she's never left the scene...like even for a little downtime. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:07
      - Nobody comes close to Underwood as far as Idol success goes. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:02
      - Underwood. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:02 1
        
        #2 would probably be Clarkson. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:02
- I'll try - pmb May 21, 08:59
- Clarkson, Guarini, Studdard, Aiken. Barrino, DeGarmo, Underwood, Bice. Hicks, McPhee. Sparks, Don't Know. Cook, Archuleta, Allen, Lambert. -- nm - Diva May 21, 08:58 2
  - I never would have remember DeGarmo. -- nm - TFox May 21, 08:59
  - Impressive! I could even remember Sparks, and she won. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 08:59
- why i ask WHY? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 21, 08:57
- McPhee, Archuleta, Lambert, and I am lost. -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:55
- Beyonce? Where did she come from. - Loyola May 21, 08:55
- Justin, Clay, idk, Bo, Katherine, Blake, David, spoils -- nm - Shaun May 21, 08:55 1
  - I'll wager #3 was Diana (not having looked it up myself). -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 08:56
- Justin! -- nm - Beaker May 21, 08:53
If Poreda is the top guy in that trade, then that means Peavy hits free agency in my AL leagues. - TFox May 21, 08:52 4
- I would be cauteous about that... - groiny May 21, 08:54 3
  - [deleted]
  - The best pitcher available in that league is either Jason Isringhausen or Scott Feldman. -- nm - TFox May 21, 08:56 1
    - I see. - groiny May 21, 08:57
MAKE THE DEAL!!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:48 1
- Deal...... or...... NO DEAL? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 08:57
[deleted] 10
- Nope, it'd be a long suspension. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:52 7
  - [deleted] 2
    - People put Papelbon's celebrations in the same category; just they ain't as successful making him look stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 08:56 1
      - [deleted]
  - what's this? -- nm - Mel Profit May 21, 08:53 3
    - you should know what mocking is. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:55
    - Joba does that fist pump thing every strikeout. Huff took him deep a few weeks ago and did it out of the box and then crossing home plate. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:55 1
      - Interesting...I hadn't heard this one. -- nm - Mel Profit May 21, 09:06
- perhaps, but not likely intentionally -- nm - znufrii May 21, 08:49
- no. - groiny May 21, 08:49
I kind of hate to admit this, but this is kind of a confession. A coffee confession/boring rant/weird, rambling introspection inside. - con_carne May 21, 08:47 11
- Yes! Come to the dark side! I make my coffee at home too and you know one 'benefit' - Roger More May 21, 09:08 2
  - i agree with Roger - you don't even need a fancy machine - i use a french press and i love it. -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:12
  - :) See, I so badly want an espresso maker. -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:10
- i really have a hard time seeing coffee as such a criminal - Danedukenuuk May 21, 08:55 2
  - I already avoid it on the weekends. I admit, perhaps is not as big a problem as I make it out to be. - con_carne May 21, 08:58 1
    - you clearly need a warm day, great iceparlor and a large chocolate and mokka ice - Danedukenuuk May 21, 09:16
- Here's a positive little change I would suggest . . . - pmb May 21, 08:49 2
  - Thanks. - con_carne May 21, 08:56 1
    - I have a work out routine - days I do it - times I do it - if I skip - I feel terrible - the endorphine release is what you need - Epiphany May 21, 09:21

  - Look really low to me. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 08:52 1
    - Do you mean that the current price looks low? If so, that's probably because of the bad reviews/WOM -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:15
