i just learned something *vitally* important. If you buy a chocolate chip cookie at Starbucks they heat it up for you and it tastes like it came - Andie Jun 19, 11:00 1
- Subway does that too. Satisfying chocolate chips. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 11:05
The first name you see is your Toy Story toy - Flavorize Jun 19, 10:51 10
- Dolly Bookworm -- nm - . Jun 19, 20:18
- Duke is new. Voiced by Keanu. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 11:16
- Spoilers - Beryllium Jun 19, 11:15
- Please don't let there be any vulgar combos. Please don't let there be any vulgar combos... -- nm - puzzle designer Jun 19, 11:07
- Bucket? - decline Jun 19, 10:55
- wouldn't most people just see Woody? -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 10:53 3
  - You would be the one to see Woody right off -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 19, 11:10
  - Yeah...it should probably be, "the second name you see..." -- nm - Flavorize Jun 19, 11:01
  - You'd think. I definitely did. -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 11:00
- Don't even need to look. Rex is my spirit animal. -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:52
This seems potentially noteworthy -- (link) - ty97 Jun 19, 10:48
This is both sad and funny -- (link) - Flavorize Jun 19, 10:47
This is awesome: (The Wheel Of Time for Amazon Prime) Rosamund Pike to star as Moiraine -- (link) - decline Jun 19, 10:42 5
- For a book series that has a lot of promise as a TV show, Pike, along with the producers of SHIELD and Goosebumps leaves a lot to be desired. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:46 1
  - Shield has had some decent points as a series and I think Pike can pull off the stoic serenity of an Aes Sedai very nicely -- nm - decline Jun 19, 10:56
- (also cool, Brandon Sanderson will be a consulting producer for the show) -- nm - decline Jun 19, 10:44 2
  - hope he makes some good contacts and gets his Reckoners series made... -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 10:53
  - That is solid though. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:46
Poll inspired by thread below: band/artist you saw as an opening act that blew up later on? - Tim Jun 19, 10:11 25
- Springsteen opened for Chicago in '73. Springfield (MA) Civic Center. Open seating. I was right in front, wondering who this shortie with the cute - Harry Tuttle Jun 19, 11:52
- A lot. (Also have seen lots of now-huge bands in small 150-300 max capacity places.) - JaxSean Jun 19, 10:57
- Let's see - there's En Vogue from below. Also saw Soundgarden open for Skid Row. -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 10:46 1
  - i saw NIN open for Soundgarden (sort of - it was an outdoor festival) -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 11:03
- Not quite what you mean but I saw Andrew WK open for Danko Jones. AWK could not be followed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 10:42 1
  - I feel bad for that main act, everybody must have been exhausted. - Tim Jun 19, 10:55
- Great Big Sea -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 10:35
- Dawson and I went to Kylie Minogue's first ever US Tour. Granted it was in 2009 though. :-) -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:34 3
  - Did you not do an opening slot in NA circa 2001? -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:37 2
    - Nope, she was gigantic worldwide so she never opened here. The Light Years and Fever tours never hit North America. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:47 1
      - That would be an interesting list - longest time between charting and first tour. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 11:18
- Cheap Trick opened for Pat Travers -- nm - amoxy Jun 19, 10:32 1
  - didn't you see the Dave Clark Five when they were the Dave Clark Four? -- nm* - groiny Jun 19, 10:44
- Tom Petty opened up for Be Bop Deluxe -- nm - amoxy Jun 19, 10:31
- He not a super star, but saw Miles Kennedy's band open for an opener in 1999-ish. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 19, 10:29 1
  - I mentioned the Nirvana/Tragically Hip show the other day and looked it up. Nirvana opened for the Hip at a Wisconsin bar in 1989. 40 people watched. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 19, 10:30
- I don't remember. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 10:23
- It wasn't exactly an opener thing but a loooong time ago I did a cabaret w/Robby Takacs from Goo Goo Dolls. Johnny R sat in one night. This was years - Diva Jun 19, 10:20 2
  - The Goo Goo Dolls are definitely one of those bands where you’d love to go back in time and show them their future. - Tim Jun 19, 10:25 1
    - they were *so* punk for the longest time. Area radio was lame and wouldn't play them. They only got really noticed once this Seattle DJ played 'Name' - Diva Jun 19, 10:30
- Devotchka for Belle & Sebastian, Louis C.K for Seinfeld., Bjork (in the Sugar Cubes) for U2...I'm forgetting some. -- nm* - Flavorize Jun 19, 10:19
- The Killers opened for Stellastar, Gaga opening for NKOTB, Panic at the Disco -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:18 1
  - Awkwafina performing at a local gay bar. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:19
- I don't know about "blew up", I saw Jukebox the Ghost and AJR as opening bands before I knew who they were for sure. - groiny Jun 19, 10:15
- I saw Pink open for Lenny Kravitz. She wasn't nobody, but she was definitely 'opening' material. Still was amazing. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 10:13
"Joe Biden Promises Rich Donors He Won't 'Demonize' The Wealthy If Elected President" - Guigue Jun 19, 10:02 1
- Honestly, if you're entire platform is on demonizing someone, you're not any better than the other guys. - Will Hunting Jun 19, 10:58
Koodo has some *spicy* prices right now for the P30 Pro. -- nm - Shaun Jun 19, 09:33
Rain, rain, go the fuck away. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 09:32
"Trump Raised $24.8 Million in Just a Few Hours After His Campaign Launch Rally" - Spawn Jun 19, 09:29 2
- and I thought the banks were closed in Russia that time of day... -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 10:35
- He then spent it all on Trump owned businesses. -- nm - jnine Jun 19, 10:08
MC Hammer's House Party tour has new dates, features: Sir Mix A Lot, Biz Markie, Sisqo, En Vogue (aww), 2 Live Crew, Tag Team, The Funky Bunch -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:25 18
- Sir Mix-A-Lot is a guest on Forza's livestream today. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 10:09
- Semi related, we apparently have New Kids Mix Tape tour coming here soon. With Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Salt n Peppa, and Naughty by Nature. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 09:56 6
  - As crazy as that sounds, it's an arena tour and is selling really well. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:57 5
    - I am not at all surprised. I was never a huge fan of any of the acts, but I know people who were, and I'm sure they would love to see this tour. -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 10:02 2
      - plus with the number of acts, all of who were big, you can pull fans from multiple bases -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:04 1
        
        Dawson will know this place, I saw Tiffany perform at Cobalt in DC, on $2 vodka night with no cover. RIP Cobalt. -- nm* - MDH Jun 19, 10:05
    - It really doesn't sound like a bad tour. -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 10:01 1
      - Get this, in 2009 when I saw NKOTB their opening acts were Natasha Bedingfield and Lady Gaga. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 10:04
- The Funky Bunch hasn’t been the same since Marky Mark left. -- nm - Mop Jun 19, 09:43 1
  - They're 1MM less funky -- nm - JaxSean Jun 19, 09:46
- Dang - we're not getting En Vogue Sisqo or the Funky Bunch. But we are getting Ton Loc - so there's that! -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 09:27 7
  - You're never gonna get it never gonna get it, never gonna get it never gonna get it, never gonna get it never gonna get it woo woo woo -- nm - En Vogue si Jun 19, 09:56 1
    - ".... that crazy story about you getting kicked out of En Vogue...." "Technically, I kicked *them* out." -- nm - Parks & Recreation Jun 19, 09:59
  - I'd love to see En Vogue -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 09:41 2
    - I saw them a long time ago, opening for MC Hammer oddly enough, they were fantastic live. -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 09:42 1
      - En Vogue and Boyz II Men in Brooklyn in August. hmmmm -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 09:43
  - En Vogue and Sisqo were the two I was like "damn." I like Tone Loc, related Surf Ninjas is great. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:28 1
    - Also - thankfully, I won't have to sit through Tag Team...so that's addition by subtraction right there. -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 09:32
Teen having lost fingers and a leg in shark attack: "I got some pieces of the puzzle missing but it’s okay." -- (link*) - prayformojo Jun 19, 09:08
So turns out I had Father's Day breakfast with Julia Roberts on Sunday.... - Name Withheld By Request Jun 19, 09:08 1
- nice! -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 10:07
TIL: It is only legal in 14 states to run a lemonade stand AND Country Time Lemonade has a legal aid division to help kids pay for permits or fines -- (link) - oblique Jun 19, 08:42 3
- The smart kids will realize that illegal is illegal, and start setting up oxy stands. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 10:08
- We make people get permits for garage/yard sales. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 09:18
- I suspect in most of the rest of the states it's just left up to the local municipalities, not declared illegal at the state level. -- nm - Ender Jun 19, 09:06
Trump is going to ruin July 4 for everyone in DC. -- (link) - decline Jun 19, 08:29 16
- Is he ruining because he's going to be there, or because of the traffic, or what? - JaxSean Jun 19, 09:48 1
  - IMO it's because A Capital Fourth is not political at all (it's on PBS), and this turns it into a political event. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:51
- And he gives zero fucks by doing so. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 09:19
- I'm leaving the city 7/3 and coming back 7/5. Everyone living in the city leaves for the 4th, this year even more so. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:14 5
  - where y'all go & how do you afford it -- nm - mud Jun 19, 09:16 4
    - Huh? For this trip, going to visit a friend out in the Shenandoah area of VA. Staying at his place. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:23
    - I'm going to NJ to paint my house so my dad doesn't get any ideas of getting up on a ladder. -- nm - Max Jun 19, 09:21 2
      - That's very nice of you. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 09:28
      - nice -- nm - mud Jun 19, 09:22
- Seriously though, he ruins every other day, why would he take July 4th off? -- nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 08:45 3
  - Well, it is summer and he could just go golf in Florida. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 19, 08:51 2
    - He prefers to be in front of his adoring fans. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:54 1
      - All 50 of them. - Marlowe Jun 19, 10:36
- gross. -- nm - Diva Jun 19, 08:44
- Cause its all about it him. So pathetic. -- nm - Jovian Jun 19, 08:41
- I look forward to him comparing the crowds to that of previous years. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:33
I've just been offered the role of Violet Beauregard's mom. - Diva Jun 19, 08:16 25

- Congratulations!!! -- nm - zunk xometimes Jun 19, 10:06
- Fantastic! Congrats! -- nm - Flavorize Jun 19, 10:05
- Very nice! -- nm - sycor Jun 19, 09:57
- But I wanted that role. I want it, I want it now! -- nm - Veruca Salt si Jun 19, 09:25 1
  - *love* -- nm - Diva Jun 19, 09:37
- :-) -- nm - mud Jun 19, 08:59
- Nice! -- nm - Remlik Jun 19, 08:52
- Woo hoo! -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 19, 08:46
- Fantastic! - Super Daddy Princess Jun 19, 08:43
- Congratulations! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 19, 08:42
- Woohoo! -- nm - kelly Jun 19, 08:41
- Awesome! Congrats!!! -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 08:38
- very nice casting! -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 08:37
- cool -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:36
- awesome! -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 08:35
- yeah!!! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 19, 08:35
- No surprise at all because you're just the awesomest. Congrats! -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 08:27 4
  - Absolutely! (NM) - Marlowe Jun 19, 08:38
  - the bestest -- nm - decline Jun 19, 08:29
  - This! -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:28 1
    - you guys are so sweet, thank you. :) -- nm - Diva Jun 19, 08:28
- "Violet, you're turning violet! Violet!" -- nm* - Hercules Mulligan Jun 19, 08:17 1
  - "What are you talking about!?!" -- nm - Jovian Jun 19, 08:18
- ::fist pump:: -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:17
Chambers has been canceled at Netflix after one season -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 08:14
I see Andy Reid pretty easily, but tougher for Fran Tarkenton -- (link) - Amoxy Jun 19, 08:14 1
- It's easier if you watched a lot of That's Incredible! back in the day. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 19, 10:33
Reports are that Cameron Maybin has chained himself to the Yankees dugout fence with a sign saying, "I'm not leaving!" - Krusty Jun 19, 08:12 14
- Cessa or Holder should be DFA, not Maybin. - Jovian Jun 19, 08:16 5
  - Agreed! -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 09:54
  - Maybin had a nice month. But he is what, 36? And you sent Frazier down, and he has future value. -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:32 3
    - Frazier has options, Maybin doesn't. Frazier will be back or he could be part of a trade for a top line starter. Tough call with him right now. - Krusty Jun 19, 08:36 2
      - I like Hicks alot, Stanton is very close to being a DH only, because he is fragile. -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:41 1
        
        Yeah, he's likely going to the up as a DH 1/2 to 2/3rds of the time in the near future. That's where Frazier can fit in. He'll play left for - Krusty Jun 19, 08:48
- why keep him? seriously. -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:15 6
  - With the injuries our team has dealt with the guys in the OF will need regular rest and days at DH. He's the best guy we have to fill in for them. - Krusty Jun 19, 08:34 5
    - if you are pinning playoff aspirations on Cameron Maybin, you have problems. -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:35 4
      - I'm not at all. I did say he's the best backup option not starter. Did you read what I wrote? -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 08:37 3
        
        plus, Maybin hits right handed, you already have a glut of right handed bats, a lefty option would be better. -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:44 1
        
        True but that lefty can't hit anymore -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 08:48
        
        if someone is hurt, he is the starter. - groiny Jun 19, 08:42
- Stockholm syndrome? -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:14
Smuh-fuh-fuh-huh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:08
My L3 was at doubt of Endgame beating Avatar. There has not been a serious doubt since week one. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:03 10
- Every industry publication knew Week 2-3 it would have trouble passing Avatar unless re-released. -- nm - MDH Jun 19, 08:16 6
  - I am not an industry publication, MDH. -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:18 5
    - *subscribes to the Spawn newsletter* -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 08:21 4
      - (you are soaking in it) -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:22 3
        
        Ew. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 19, 09:17
        
        creepy -- nm - decline Jun 19, 08:26 1
        
        I was expecting, "UNSUBSCRIBE! UNSUBSCRIBE!!!" -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 08:27
- Maybe if the extra three minutes was a slow-motion clip of Cap shaving his beard. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 19, 08:12
- word. -- nm - mud Jun 19, 08:05 1
  - It is... inevitable. nmb spoiler - Spawn Jun 19, 08:08
Here we go again: Multiple Suspensions in and Out of NY Penn Station Due to Amtrak Power Problem -- (link) - ty97 Jun 19, 07:59 2
- hmm, I don't think I've seen any "it's raining in the station" pix on twitter yet this year -- nm - decline Jun 19, 08:05 1
  - A lot of rain this week, probably coming within the next day or two -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 08:10
