- *SpeechlessMal.gif* -- nm - Mop Jan 17, 09:50
- Flu mutates all the time, so a regular flu shot will probably be either for type A or B, or even some subtypes, right? But it won't be specific for - ori-o Jan 17, 09:38 4
  - I just can't believe I am hearing her spout this. This is nothing like the mom who raised me, whom I've only not lived with for 8 years. - Qale Jan 17, 09:42 3
    - I assume you monopolized the TV when you lived with your mom. Once you’re gone, Fox News gets its claws in her. -- nm - Mop Jan 17, 09:51 1
      - "Whew, now I can call things gay again!" My mom, probably... but maybe not. -- nm - Qale Jan 17, 09:59
    - My mom had some alternative views or leanings, but she never pushed them on anyone or try to convince anyone. - ori-o Jan 17, 09:50

- His performance in Mosquito Coast is excellent and against type. -- nm - Remlik Jan 17, 10:01 2

  - Must look up this one -- nm - ori-o Jan 17, 10:02
- Indiana Jones is a non Star Wars franchise movie, so I will go with that. -- nm - Spawn Jan 17, 09:41 1

      - It would've made sense for that to be the case, I'll admit, but the hyphenation said otherwise. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 09:37 2
        
        You are right, I was not thinking about Indiana Jones while writing - I simply forgot -- nm - ori-o Jan 17, 09:40
        
        And some people say that Indiana Jones takes place entirely within Han Solo's carbonite-infused mind, but I don't buy that. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 09:38
- Witness -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:28 5
  - Googling.. 1985... (amazing year)... Not sure I ever saw it. In what way would you say it's great? A solid thriller? Great directing? Soundtrack, co- - ori-o Jan 17, 09:33 4
    - it's always been one of my favorite of his. great acting, story, cast...highly recommended -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:35 3

  - I love the idea that there is a secret signal that he's sending that because he can't reveal what he's doing, but they're broadcasting it all over - Reagen Jan 17, 09:46 1
    - Also, this is clearly counter-trolling and I wish them luck -- (link) - Reagen Jan 17, 09:49

Interesting point: the capitol was under attack by thousands, yet the usss did nothing to secure Potus, why was that? - zeitgeist Jan 17, 02:37 8
- Because the mob was under his orders. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 07:08

  - It's two clicks at the moment: drop down the list, then click the top one -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 19:39 1
