    - (I don't own any stocks, so it was going to be a small jump.) -- nm - JaxSean Dec 26, 13:45

      - I predict they're going to suffer a security issue in the first half of 2019. - Beryllium Dec 26, 13:48 1
        
        I had thought that but am kinda shocked it hasn't happened. Saw reports on it almost a year ago. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 13:53

- serious q: don't people have HBOGO and can watch whenever they want? marathons seem irrelevant on premium channels (BESIDES CINEMAX) anymore. --nm - amanda Dec 26, 13:57

  - hail Roz of the fine boobs! -- nm - peglegpete Dec 26, 12:16

- I know he was goaded into it, but regardless, I’m glad he went. -- nm - Qale Dec 26, 14:30 2
  - Ordinarily, I would agree, but I truly believe that anyplace he goes is worse for his presence. If he wasn't going to come back I'd be glad he went. - pmb Dec 26, 14:37 1
    - If those troops voted for him, I’m glad they are getting the opportunity to shake hands. -- nm - Qale Dec 26, 14:42
- We need good press. We need good press. We need good press. -- nm - Jovian Dec 26, 12:31
- He's getting killed because of the shutdown and Mattis's departure, so he's shamelessly finally visiting the troops. - Will Hunting Dec 26, 11:37 1
  - so blatant that he even couldnt resist defending his Syria pullback to the troops his visited. - Jovian Dec 26, 13:23
- Huh, that's... Playboy who ‘slept with 6,000 women’ dies while having sex - Spawn Dec 26, 11:34 2
  - In his final interview with German newspaper Bild in 2014, he announced his retirement and said: “At 59, I’m getting too old for it.” -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 13:04 1

- 4.8 million tickets, $432 million gross. According to NATO the average movie ticket was $9.38 as of July -> $45 million -- nm - Max Dec 26, 10:09 3
  - Comparison: RDR2 ~20 million copies sold. Black Panther ~70 million tickets. Super Bowl 103 million viewers. Fortnite 200 million registered players. -- nm - Max Dec 26, 10:46 2
    - I love this. There’s a lot of apples and oranges here, but still fascinating. -- nm - Mop Dec 26, 13:57
    - Nice try, Ed Sheeran. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 11:15

I've been stalked! Got a sweet KU hat, shirt and magnet. - Krusty Dec 26, 08:46
rumor: Van Halen touring with original lineup in 2019... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 26, 08:16 33
- Assuming Eddie can still play this is on my radar. - zunk xometimes Dec 26, 08:29 11
  - depends if he's drinking or not. I saw the 2004 tour with Sammy and Eddie was HORRIBLE. -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 08:37 9
    - I blame Sammy for that. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 08:37 8
      - nope. Eddie was drinking before the tour -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 08:45 7
        
        Sammy = Bad Influence - Spawn Dec 26, 08:46 6
        
        haha! -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 08:48 5
        
        None of em can drive 55 -- nm - budice Dec 26, 10:07 4
        
        and none of them have any smarts when it comes to investing or making money. -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 11:37 3
        
        I imagine all involved are worth at least $50-100 million each. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 11:57 2
        
        Googling, it looks like DLR and Anthony are the hobos at 60 mil. Alex 95M, Eddie 100M and Sammy 120M. -- nm* - Spawn Dec 26, 12:11 1
        
        Wow. Bono is worth 700M. Edge 340M.... McCartney is worth 1.2B -- nm* - Spawn Dec 26, 12:17
  - See below. Eddie is still Eddie. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 08:32
- And what will perform as DLR's vocal cords? -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 08:20 20
  - right? that being said if he doesn't go for the high notes he's fine... -- nm* - Remlik Dec 26, 08:24 18
    - Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) did the Thick as Brick tour, he had another singer do the high notes (seriously) but he still half gulped half the words -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 14:20
    - By the end of the show on the last tour, I was equally happy and sad. When Eddie's background vocals are spot on and then Dave can hardly be heard it - Spawn Dec 26, 08:32 16
      - I saw the last tour as well - Dave was definitely the weak link...he sounded more like a parody of himself. The band sounded pretty darn good though. - Uhtred, Son of Uhtred Dec 26, 08:47 15
        
        I would actually be kinda interested in that. Van Hagar is so much more enjoyable. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 26, 08:56 13
        
        More of a pop sound, if that is what you are in to. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 09:14 12
        
        But was 5150 really that much more pop than Dance the Night Away? Or the entire 1984 album? -- nm - Uhtred, Son of Uhtred Dec 26, 09:27 6
        
        A bit (1984). And 5150 is the only Van Hagar album that comes close to a Van Halen album. - Spawn Dec 26, 09:32 5
        
        You'll pry For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge from my cold dead fingers. OU812 - I'll give you that one. - Uhtred, Son of Uhtred Dec 26, 09:37 4
        
        Each of those have a couple good tracks (OU812 more so). Def Leppard got *better*. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 09:38 3
        
        Just checked. Each has two good songs, one okay song. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 09:43
        
        I just don't think they went more pop as much as pop went more metal. nm - Uhtred, Son of Uhtred Dec 26, 09:41 1
        
        I will FIGHT you. - Spawn Dec 26, 09:44
        
        meh. It's like Genesis. - JaxSean Dec 26, 09:20 2
        
        Genesis = Pink Floyd. Van Hagar = Van Gary Cherone. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 09:37
        
        Oh God what I would give to see Gabriel with them. Yeah, I have seen Genesis with Phil leading three times but still. Phil was always a part. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 09:35
        
        Well they were headed that way anyway...thankfully they got a singer that could keep up -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 09:20 1
        
        heh -- nm - JaxSean Dec 26, 09:21
        
        Yeah, Dave's cords could handle that and I could leave at intermission. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 08:49
  - Memorex. -- nm - Mop Dec 26, 08:21
Well, that is a new one. AMC website: We apologize for the inconvenience, this theatre is temporarily closed. -- (link) - Spawn Dec 26, 08:14 6
- Bedbugs. -- nm - Qale Dec 26, 08:49
- probably someone complained of different kinds of food touching each other -- nm - Remlik Dec 26, 08:26 2
  - "But that's how nachos work, Mr. Dalton..." -- nm - AMC Employee Dec 26, 08:53 1
    - The weird/annoying part is this is a theater I don't go to. Logan is coming to work with me tomorrow and I had hoped to leave early and take him to - Spawn Dec 26, 09:01
- The Strain. -- nm - Diva Dec 26, 08:15 1
  - the Human Stain -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 26, 13:09

Some people have apparently just learned that the Queen of England is rich -- (link) - ty97 Dec 26, 07:49 4
- I see she's got the same problem we do. - Mop Dec 26, 08:13
- It's actually chocolate wrapped in gold foil. - Krusty Dec 26, 08:06
- *melts it down, recasts it as an audio mixer* -- nm - Queen E Dec 26, 07:56
- *likes* -- nm - POTUS Dec 26, 07:51
This is staggering in today's NBA and a prime reason the 76ers are not real contenders. - Will Hunting Dec 26, 07:48 4
- Eh, he hits two 2s for every 3 they do! -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 08:03
- and yet, he's #2 on the Triple-Double list and will most likely be named an all-star this year -- nm - decline Dec 26, 07:56 2
  - Which tells you that the all-star voters are morons -- and triple doubles are suspect - Will Hunting Dec 26, 08:47 1
    - Stupid NBA! -- nm - Tom Brady Dec 26, 09:16
This looks like its peak on the charts -- (link*) - Reagen Dec 26, 07:01 11
- Made it to #8 on the big chart. -- (link) - Tim Dec 26, 09:18
- I know it, thanks to GTA V -- nm - Roger More Dec 26, 08:43
- 21 for me. -- nm - Spawn Dec 26, 07:46
- Bear in mind that I was really fucking rural, in the absolute middle of nowhere. -- nm - Reagen Dec 26, 07:05 6
  - So, 911 wasn't a joke in your town? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 26, 07:12 1
    - Did not exist where I grew up until university. -- nm - Reagen Dec 26, 07:19
  - So you likely weren't getting good, current radio from the US. Without the radio or friends telling you about new music it would have been hard to - Krusty Dec 26, 07:08 3
    - I didn't even have Much Music (Canadian MTV) until university - Reagen Dec 26, 07:12 2
      - I didn't get MTV until I was out of college. My parents refused to get cable, my father wasn't paying to watch TV. It was radio for me. -- nm - Krusty Dec 26, 07:39 1
        
        Well, also many parties, clubs and friends places. some of whom were DJs. Music was everywhere. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 26, 08:07
- I know 34 out of the 50. I have no idea who that group is at #3 which is surprising because I know all the others in the top 10 very well. -- nm - Krusty Dec 26, 07:05
Organica on Spotify may very well be my most favorite curated list by someone else. - Qale Dec 26, 06:49 1
