13 steam giants, 600+ phalnaxs, 450+ gunmen, 50+ mortars, 50+ balloon dudes...dude's going to get whacked (with more on the way) -- nm - Beaker Jun 19, 08:54 5
- It's like a drive-by -- nm - budice Jun 19, 09:04
- 50 Bombadiers at the right time will be devastating. - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 19, 08:56 1

Couldn't find the boxing odds, but guess who is the favorite to be the next Wonder Woman. -- (link) - not2fast Jun 19, 08:51 22
- Whedon's choice isn't even listed. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 09:01
- And Rachel Bilson? - Reagen Jun 19, 08:55 10
  - Mila Kunis? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 08:58 7
    - She's gotta be smaller than Bilson. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 09:00 5
      - Jessica Beil makes the best sense of the ones listed -- nm - eag Jun 19, 09:01 1
        
        if she is not doing the remake of Dark Crystal, sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:03
      - well, Elijah Wood is not really 3 foot tall either..... nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:01 2
        
        Sure, but if we're eliminating Bilson for being too small, Kunis has to go, too. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 09:05 1
        
        looks wise, I could almost see Kim Kardashian. - groiny Jun 19, 09:07
    - If she's too busy schedulewise to sign on for "Nakedly Jamming Dudes", then yeah, this would be great. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 08:58
  - hayden! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 19, 08:56 1
    - hayden pantyface? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:56
- The better question is, What are the odds Wonder Woman gets made by 2020? -- nm - David Jun 19, 08:54 5
  - "Never tell me the odds!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:57
  - Who would have guessed that Watchmen would be easier to get on-screen than a hot chick fighting bad guys in eye-pleasing outfits? -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 08:57 2
    - who wants to see bad guys in eye-pleasing outfits ? -- nm - decline Jun 19, 08:59 1
      - Oh misplaced modifier, how you tickle me so. -- nm - Qale Jun 19, 09:05
  - The odds also include the movie being made by 2012. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 08:57
- Even I think that's wrong. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 08:52 3
  - According to IMDB, Megan Gale is rumored to be Wonder Woman in "Justice League: Mortal" in 2011. -- nm - not2fast Jun 19, 08:57 2
    - The odds are for Wonder Woman in a movie titled Wonder Woman. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 08:59 1
      - True -- nm - not2fast Jun 19, 09:03
TwitterEnvy: I have 31 follwers for my site, is that good, bad, ugly? I don't really know. I just use it to post updates on what I've put on the site. -- nm - Qale Jun 19, 08:51 1
- How does that compare to total visitors or regular users of your site? -- nm - psilotum Jun 19, 09:06
So Khamenei throws in his lot with Ahmadinejad. That pretty much guarantees his ouster. - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 08:51 15
- I'm surprised he did this given the moderate statements he and even Ahmadinejad made most recently. - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 19, 08:58
- Because the Ayatollah's position of power in Iran is so fragile? -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 08:54 7
  - Actually, it is. It's my understanding that the council that appoints the Ayatollah has the power to remove him, and they're leaning moderate. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:02 3
    - I believe Rafsanjani is head of the council and he and and the supreme leader do not see eye to eye -- nm - eag Jun 19, 09:04 1
      - that's putting it mildly, from what I can tell... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:05
    - That's news to me -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:03
  - Could be, if Rafsanjani can persuade a majority of the Council of Experts that he is no longer acceptable as Supreme Leader. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 08:54 2
    - And more than likely Rafsanjani would become the new supreme leader -- nm - eag Jun 19, 09:05 1
      - Which could pose it's own problems down the road... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:08
- I don't know if the people of Iran are irate enough to take their protest that far. - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:53 2
  - No, I'm pretty sure it's because they think their vote did not count -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 08:54 1
    - but they are blaming Ahmadinejad for it, not the system as a whole... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 08:56
- Last I heard, Khamenei's position isn't all that safe either. -- nm - not2fast Jun 19, 08:52
- or, they kill everyone. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 08:52 1
  - Or that, yeah. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:00

- Microsoft says No New Xbox coming. "the Xbox 360 is 'not even halfway' through its current lifecycle..." -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 19, 08:50 2
  - A "new" Xbox 360 may simply mean a new form factor or a bigger hard drive. The Xbox 360 Arcade was a "new" Xbox, after all. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 08:52
  - Yeah, the last half of ML's link says this. Which is why I rephrased it for him :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:51
- Let me rephrase that post for you: "Steve Ballmer" "Confirms" "New" "XBox 360" "for 2010" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:48 1
  - man, all that finger-quoting is exhausting. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 08:49
Huh - for the 3rd month in a row, I've gone over the # of cell phone 'any time' minutes. Another larger-than-normal bill. - kelly Jun 19, 08:46 3
- Boost Mobile: $50 unlimited. -- nm - psilotum Jun 19, 09:07
- But I *like* Sprint. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 08:47 1
  - heh. -- nm - kelly Jun 19, 08:48
I had no idea there was a monsoon season in Chicago. -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 08:45
Ryan Reynolds has been around a while. Just when did he become a big star? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 08:45 13

- I guarantee this makes its HSX price in one weekend - MDH Jun 19, 08:45
Grey's Anatomy article inside. major spoilers on the fates of Izzy & George - peglegpete Jun 19, 08:34 4
- Heigls behavior was explained to me the moment I found out she's from New Canaan. They both must want off bad. Biting the hand that feeds them. -- nm - lileve Jun 19, 08:36 3
  - Missed that last sentence. oh so now she wants to stay on because her role seem to be more central now? -- nm - lileve Jun 19, 08:37 2
    - he did say "major spoilers". just a tip. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 08:39 1
      - Oops. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Jun 19, 08:58
I've gotta say, that Holmes poster may as well be reused as a Poe poster. I do like the Watson one, though. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 19, 08:29 1

    - They got us to look. Ooh, look at PB! Boy, did they fool us. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 08:41
    - Yeah, PB is so embarassed by who they can get naked, the cover is someone they can't get naked. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 08:35
    - Lame. -- nm - Shaun Jun 19, 08:33 1

ST Assemble! I need ST's fact finding skills. Find me the betting odds for the Pacquiao vs Cotto fight on 11/14/09. - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 19, 08:21 19

      - Speed...power...and technical skill...he's a perfect killing machine. -- (link) - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 19, 09:03 [youtube]
      - Hatton is still sitting around some tropical island right now wondering what his name is. He was destroyed that night. -- nm - Diva Jun 19, 08:44 2
        
        the guy who wrote the article that budice linked thinks that was just a "lucky punch". - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 19, 09:06 1
        
        umm...what? - znufrii Jun 19, 09:10

I wished Flo at Progressive would allow me to permanmently change my billing date instead of my having to do it myself twice a year, with - Qale Jun 19, 08:18 4
- apropos of nothing, I'm pretty sure Flo is a wildcat in bed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 08:20 3

      - that is pretty funny, to find it in the minutes. -- nm - TFox Jun 19, 08:26 1
        
        I found it in archived editorials at our college newspaper. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 08:26
