Hey Shaun, I misunderstood you yesterday. I thought you wanted Karla, not Kayla. - Subversive Jun 26, 07:13 1
- Kayla looked SO DAMN HOT last night. I called the people going home too before their solos. I gloated to my wife too. - Shaun Jun 26, 07:16
[deleted] 8
- The only frustrating part about it is, looking back, that draft was filthy with PG lottery tickets. - TFox Jun 26, 07:16 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - If (big if) the thinking was "Rubio is way too good to not take at #5, its a value pick that we can spin into pieces far more valuable..." - TFox Jun 26, 07:28 1
      - [deleted]
- Rubio is crazy if he stays in Spain, his salary there is under $150k based on an espn graffic from last night -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:14 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yep...cause the NBA team is only allowed to contribute $500k. nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:16
    - true, I figured that would be included in his NBA salary though...but with the cap maybe not. -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:16
got a ticket for McCartney! -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:11 8
- Sweet. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 07:12 1
  - $95, not as bad as I feared, but of course those mother effers added $28 in fees. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:13
- I got a ticket to ride! -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:11 5
  - and you don't care! -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:12
  - I got a rock! -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:11 3

    - fyi...Outback Steakhouse to stock Fat Tire beer soon. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 07:14 1
      - Cool. Although I didn't like their Mothership Organic Wit. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:16
[deleted] 77
- meh -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 26, 07:54
- Madonna is pretty much it. (I feel like Diana and MJ are the 2 biggest so far) -- nm - MDH Jun 26, 07:18
- I hate to say it, but oprah -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 26, 07:17 9
  - this would be huge...but not as big as Mike or Madonna, IMO. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:20 1
    - Oprah's core audience doesn't cross as many boundaries. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 07:21
  - Is she as big around the world as she is in the US? - JaxSean Jun 26, 07:20 1
    - she's even bigger in other parts of the world - dogbert183 Jun 26, 07:21
  - yep. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:19
  - she is the queen -- nm - 'lia Jun 26, 07:19
  - oh, excellent answer. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 07:19
  - I forgot about her, the world might end if she dies unexpectedly -- nm - MDH Jun 26, 07:18

- In the world of sports, Michael Jordan. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:16 19
  - I think Jordan and Tiger are the only ones even close in the sports world. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:32
  - Pujols, Jeter. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:19 13
    - That would be big on ESPN, regular news it wouldn't even make the top 5 stories I am guessing. -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:21
    - Not even close to Jordan-level. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:20 11
      - is Jordan an international star? -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:23 8
        
        In terms of international stardom, I think Ali and Pele would be above Jordan -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 07:29
        
        He has one of the highest recognition rates of anyone on the planet. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:27
        
        He was on the Olympic Dream Team. He WAS the dream team. - Redmond Jun 26, 07:26 2
        
        *nods* true, it's bigger than baseball for sure. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:27 1
        
        David Beckham might be a huge one around the world. Not so much here because we don't' care about soccer. -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:28
        
        He must be. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 07:25
        
        Oh yeah. Tiger would probably be in the similar stratosphere. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 26, 07:25
        
        More than baseball/football players. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 07:24
      - The only baseball player I think that comes close in terms of celebrity would be A-Rod, and even he is loathed as much as admired. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 07:22
      - True. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:21
  - Gretzky, Howe will be sad -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:18
  - Tiger Woods -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:18
  - That would fuck my whole shit up. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 07:17
  - *ding* -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:17
- Madonna for sure. Brad Pitt. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 07:15 2
  - what if Brad and Angie got killed on one of their third world jaunts? -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:20 1
    - And what if aliens attacked us?! -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:20
- Springsteen. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 07:14 1
  - good one -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:15
- I'd be pretty upset about a number of actors, but don't know if most of those would get worldwide attention. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:14 2
  - Jackie Chan -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 07:21 1
    - Schwarzenegger -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 07:23
- Madonna, Tom Cruise, McCartney -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:10
- Possibly only Madonna at this point. Part of the furor is the surprise. - Jim Jun 26, 07:10 11
  - Farrah was also only famous for being a bombshell, she was some insane talent who changed the entertainment world. -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 07:19 2
    - I love how you called the upcoming reaction and media firestorm yesterday. Some STers at the time of the announcement had no idea at all. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 07:32
    - she *wasn't* -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 07:23
  - I wouldn't call Jackson's death a "shock". A bit of a surprise, yes, but he certainly didn't live the most healthy lifestyle and hadn't *looked* - Don Homer Jun 26, 07:13 5
    - Yeah...but until the first report came out yesterday, no one even knew he was sick. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:14 4
      - I recall a report within the last (6 months? year?) that he was "gravely ill" - ty97 Jun 26, 07:15 2
        
        I must've missed that one. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:17 1
        
        It wasn't huge news, IIRC, it was more rumor-ish and fleetingly reported. - ty97 Jun 26, 07:18
      - he has looked like death warmed over for at least 15 years. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:14
  - [deleted]
  - true enough -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 07:11
- I honestly don't get this hype at all. He was a punch line in later years. - Redmond Jun 26, 07:10 6
  - When people die, people tend to focus on accomplishments. - JaxSean Jun 26, 07:13 1
    - Eh, my IM said it was a me thing. They are replaying an interview where he is talking about kids sleeping in his bed. EEESH -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:15
  - So was fat Elvis, but he was still awesome. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 07:11 3
    - Fat Elvis doing fake karate in a rhinestone bedazzled white jumpsuit still deserved all that hype when he passed. -- nm - Diva, nodding Jun 26, 07:13 2
      - i think the Elvis comparison is really accurate (and oddly, he was MJ father-in-law for awhile.) - Andie Jun 26, 07:20 1
        
        I always forget that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:25
- I thought this was covered yesterday. Paul McCartney is the only living one I can think of. -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 07:09
- McCartney. Dylan. Bono. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:08 15
  - I could see Bono. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:12 3
    - although, he'll be alive again after three days. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:12 2
      - I'm thinking if anyone could turn into a zombie and kill the autopsy guy and eat his brains, - JaxSean Jun 26, 07:14 1
        
        I suspect he's been a zombie all this time. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:18
  - Britney, in a way - ty97 Jun 26, 07:10
  - [deleted] 9
    - If Jackson had died in old age, there wouldn't be as much furor either. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:11 8
      - [deleted] 6
        
        I still think McCartney now. Which is why I gave him as an answer. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:13
        
        McCartney could die in a crash, or be killed still. -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:13 4
        
        True. The way someone dies does have an effect on the response to it, i think. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:16 2
        
        see: Lennon. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:17 1
        
        More recently, Ledger -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 07:19
        
        He blew his mind out in a car. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 07:14
      - Ayup. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 07:12
Friday people! FRIDAY!!!!! -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:07 2
- TFRM2 tickets for tonight at 6 PM: bought. w00t! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 26, 07:07
- almost Saturday even -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 07:07
My weekend plan is to sleep. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 07:06 3
- Perchance, to dream. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 07:08 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 07:09
- My weekend plans: Tonight rest. Tomorrow Harvey's Comedy Club, then to a party after. Sunday try and avoid all the MJ who gives a crap coverage. -- nm - Redmond Jun 26, 07:08
