Based on my anecdotal evidence, Weezer's cover of Africa is the most played song in XM Radio history. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:55 3
- And I don't get it...if I want a note for note version of Afirca, I'll play Toto's version. I must be missing the point. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 14, 14:03 2
  - THIS -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 14:10
  - Word. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 14:04
Speaking of Trump, Twitter and Modern Family, have we heard about this book by one of the MF producers about his twitter war with Trump? It sounds - pmb Sep 14, 13:43
David / Spawn - Destiny Forsaken question (some spoilers if you haven't "completed" the campaign) - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:34
Flying with crazy cousins update: Told them to be at airport by 4. It is now 4:23. Not here. - Andie Sep 14, 13:24 2

- What's the over-under for them showing up by 5 -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:56

My guess is Jay. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:13 12
- And when it happens, he should wake up and tell his wife Peg about this strange dream he had. -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 13:42 2
  - That would literally be the best television moment in history for me. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 13:53
  - ha! -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 13:42
- Snoogans. -- nm - Jay SI #7 Sep 14, 13:21
- See? Someone smart. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 13:19
- He’s too easy but yeah. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 13:16 6
  - It would be an exploration of how they move on without the family patriarch. Jay's the glue, so taking him off the board creates good stories. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:33 4
    - Yes to all of this. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 13:54
    - Yes, but almost an entirely different show. If the show was going on for a while or there was a spinoff I could see it, but it seems too much for now - pmb Sep 14, 13:44 1
      - Oh, I think it's absolutely a show that will come back from time to time. - David Sep 14, 13:56
    - Like Lilly will still see and talk to him -- nm - amoxy Sep 14, 13:42
  - He won't go easy! -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:16

- Ikea. -- nm - Baronarama Sep 14, 13:12
- Where's the last thing you assembled? Attic? -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:09
- You gave it to Allen. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 13:06
- Do you have a packet drawer? - ReluctantCynic Sep 14, 12:59 7
  - I do. This isn't a bad bet. Hang on. -- nm - amanda Sep 14, 13:06 6
    - I could see putting me on killfile, but Jim? dayang -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:08 5
      - Scissors and tape are in a different drawer. How can you keep packets and tape in the same drawer? It's like cats and dogs living together!!! -- nm - amanda Sep 14, 13:10 4
        
        Right? There is a separate drawer for menus, maps, and flat stuff. Scotch tape in case you need to repair a tear or tape something up. But ... - ReluctantCynic Sep 14, 13:15
        
        Putting ketchup and scissors in the same drawer would lead to a crime scene like this terrible bathmat. -- (link) - Max Sep 14, 13:12
        
        Our packets are also not in that drawer...but I would never put an allen wrench in with the packets. It would go with the tape and scissors. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 14, 13:12
        
        You can afford two drawers for that stuff? You need more one use kitchen gadgets! -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:11
- In the bathroom, next to your toothbrush -- nm - amoxy Sep 14, 12:58
- It's in that top drawer in the kitchen where you keep the scissors, scotch tape, takeout menus and stamps. -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 14, 12:57 1
  - yes -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:07
- what? -- nm - Chubbers, hiding screwdriver under rug Sep 14, 12:57
- THAT'S ALL I'M WORTH TO YOU?!? -- nm - Allen Wrench Sep 14, 12:56
Digging up - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 12:40 2
- Now she's outright stealing material -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:30 1
  - The drug maker tweeted a response to her excuse that "racism is not a known side effect of Ambien " -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:45
Something for David to look forward to. -- (link) - Todd Manning Sep 14, 12:39
What is your earworm this Friday afternoon? -- (link) - Amoxy Sep 14, 12:30 [youtube] 4
- Sweet Lucy was a dancer, but none of us would chance her because she was a samurai. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:12
- Smooth -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 14, 12:54 [youtube]
- Land of Confusion -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 12:50
- Funky Technician - Lord Finesse and DJ Smooth. The beat is what most would recognize from Das Efx - They Want Efx. Both sample James Brown and it's - Krusty Sep 14, 12:37 [youtube]
Manafort update: Looks like he'll get 17-21 *years* in prison. He'll have to cooperate on anything the Mueller teams asks about - including testifying - decline Sep 14, 12:07 26
- I'm surprised he's not running off to Moscow or residing in an Ecuadorian counsul already -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:23 2
  - He's sitting in a jail cell. I don't think that option is open. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 13:29 1
    - d'oh...forgot he got pulled in for witness tampering -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 14:56
- Decades in prison *with* cooperation? Fire that lawyer! -- nm - Max Sep 14, 12:52
- Be interesting what Trump has to say about it. -- nm - Amoxy Sep 14, 12:30 17
  - Florence is probably the only reason we havent heard from him already. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 12:57
  - Just please don't repost it here. nm - NiKlaus Sep 14, 12:48 13
    - [deleted]
    - I'm just saying, imagine if every one of his opponents stopped listening to what he said or giving a shit. Wouldn't that drive him bonkers? -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 12:55 7
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Because that’s *all* they do, right... -- nm - znufrii, promoted Sep 14, 13:35
      - It really, really would. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:13 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        It runs counter to our innate drive to communicate with each other to be radio silent on the most obvious topic of the day? -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Sep 14, 13:32 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Yeah. There's already plenty of news without him driving the national conversation with a bunch of nonsense. I don't need Trump to do that for me. -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 13:28
    - Maybe I will, maybe I won't...I'm a rebel -- nm - amoxy Sep 14, 12:54 3
      - You've always been a trouble maker! -- nm - NiKlaus Sep 14, 13:39
      - It's definitely a crap chute. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 12:56 1
        
        heh - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 13:08
  - Will it? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 12:42
  - Yeah really. -- nm - amanda Sep 14, 12:38
- That 17-21 years has to be cut down to about 10 by good behavior I'm guessing. I can't see him taking a plea deal that keeps him jail until he's 90. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 12:22 1
  - yep. No way he serves any more than 10 years. - Jovian Sep 14, 12:25
- *record scratch* Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got into this mess. Well, I’m legally obligated to tell you every single detail. -- nm - Manafort Biopic Sep 14, 12:17 1
  - hee -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 12:55
Last thing on the NY primary: while i guess it’s a more powerful position (because of the state) I find it odd that Maloney - Tim Sep 14, 12:02 5
- He gave up a safe seat to play spoiler? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:18 3
  - It was potentially awkward, but less so now. - Tim Sep 14, 12:21 2
    - Oh, so he still has his seat? - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:22 1
      - Yes, it’s still very odd (and he supposedly spent a lot of money on ads in Western NY, which he did win). -- nm - Tim Sep 14, 12:24
- yeah, that's a pretty low move by Maloney -- nm - decline Sep 14, 12:04
Autocorrect topped itself this time. We have a store nearby named Thrifty Foods, which we call Thriftys. Anyway, I gave up waiting for the gas inspec -- (pic) - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:43 [Attachment] 7
- On the flip side, this is one of the things I bought. -- (pic) - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:47 [Attachment] 3
  - baby chickens! -- nm - decline Sep 14, 11:53
  - I love deviled eggs -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:49 1
    - It’s a three fetus feast! - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:59
- I knew it!! -- nm - QAnon Sep 14, 11:45 1
  - big points winner^ -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:48
- yummy -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:44
Florence is pretty bad, but Mangkhut is a monster. It's going to devastate the Philippines. Cat 5 with sustained winds of 180mph -- nm - decline Sep 14, 11:40 1
- yeah. ugh -- nm - prayformojo Sep 14, 11:41
Teens Are Protesting In-Class Presentations - crash davis Sep 14, 11:40 18
- Would be a good study, who is effected more, bullies or those bullied, -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 13:27
- Learning how to pitch may be a more important skill than half of what they're being taught. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:07 6
  - I might steal this as a concept. - Reagen Sep 14, 13:12 5
    - I wasn't understanding Max until your IM. I was thinking fastball, curveball, slider and change-up -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:15 2
      - "you're a lefty. All you need is a fastball and a slider and you'll pitch forever." -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:38
      - Throwing things to distract your audience from your lack of presentation skills is also an important skill. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:15
    - "Sell me this Krebs cycle." -- nm - Jordan Belfort Sep 14, 13:14 1
      - Totally. It's a great idea for an assignment. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:36
- Logan had one this week but the grade was not based on the presentation itself, just the research and paper. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 12:42 3
  - I mean, grades don't really mean shit until the last year of junior high. - Reagen Sep 14, 12:45 2
    - I just found it interesting as he is in honors classes. So yeah, the grades keep him in those classes, or not. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 13:22 1
      - Kids are also kind of bad at understanding how things add up, or don't - Reagen Sep 14, 14:00
- HA! -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 12:35
- Suck. It. Up. -- nm - Baronarama Sep 14, 11:59
- Offs -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Sep 14, 11:44 1
  - hey, how can this backfire. No job interviews, just show up and the job is yours! -- nm - Beaker Sep 14, 12:19
- Until presented with better information, I'm not sympathetic to them on this. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:43 1
  - In 0.05% of cases it's a real thing. The rest of it is just not being prepared. - Reagen Sep 14, 12:39
"unless.......I've got it! The doctor is the boy's mother" -- nm - Thinking on Your Feet During a Job Interview Sep 14, 11:30 1
- "Ducks! Because ducks have heads." -- nm - Max Sep 14, 11:37
Moon river, wider than a mile Crossin' in style someday -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 14, 11:27
The Modern Family thing is kinda genius. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:25 32
- It’s Longinus. Duh. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:41
- Jay or Cam -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 12:18 4
  - "Oh, let's kill off our popular successful gay couple. How about we turn Jay into a Trump supporter and make Phil beat his kids too?" -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 12:36 3
    - Significant character tells me its a main cast member. And they aren't going to kill off one of the kids.. - Jovian Sep 14, 12:54
    - I’d give them credit if it was Mitchell - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:43 1
      - Plus, it's a character that no one would really miss. -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 12:54
- My immediate thought - bye-bye Dillon. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 11:53 9
  - I would not call him "significant" but then again, I have not watched for years and tears. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:55 8
    - Significant in terms of episodes appeared in is how I looked at it. And, at this point, expendable. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 11:59 6
      - I’m reading it as legitimate main-level character. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:21 5
        
        This is my take as well. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 13:00
        
        That's what they want you to read. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 12:23 3
        
        Right. The use of the word "significant" to me means non-core. They would use a different word for that. It's a recurring character, but not core - pmb Sep 14, 12:25 2
        
        But see I dont see how 'significant' applies to anyone except the main cast. - Jovian Sep 14, 13:04
        
        Yeah, if it was one of the family I think they would've said "main." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 12:43
    - years and years, so many tears. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:56
- I should have acknowledged Max's comment on B2. Claire does have a stick of potentially lethal size up her butt. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:29 9
  - I guess I'm wrong for thinking that's a little bit hot then! *kicks rock* -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 11:43 6
    - On this subject... Would SOMEBODY just release the TV show Ed on video?!?! -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 12:00 4
      - I just saw Josh Randall pop up on tv this month. An episode of Elementary maybe? Or Suits? -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:19
      - She'll always be Carol Vessey to me. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 14, 12:08
      - I saw one of the Scrubs with Cavanaugh a couple days ago. Seeing him on Flash does not do it but seeing him at that age made me miss Ed. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 12:06
      - Right?! -- nm - Tim Sep 14, 12:04
    - No one here is judging you for your weird fetish, I promise. -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 11:48
  - I am serious, Jay kills Gloria. *So* much material there. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:31 1
    - They wouldn't like the misogynistic violence. But Manny snaps and kills his parents? That is topical -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:33
- We quit awhile ago. I don't even know what season it was. Alex might have started college. -- nm - Shaun Sep 14, 11:27 1
  - I think we are 2-3 years behind (probably when spoils) - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:17
- I've never seen it -- nm - decline Sep 14, 11:26 3
  - Well now that you know there is death involved, seems a good time to start? -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 11:33 2
    - This is a good death. There is no shame in this, a man's death, a man who has done fine works. -- nm - decline Sep 14, 12:11 1
      - We're making a better world. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Sep 14, 12:13
