  - $2 each, 3 for $7 -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 26, 09:14 1
    - Wow, great deal!! -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 09:15

- [deleted]
- but are they full or wide screen???? -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:11
- If the goal is to just get rid of them, $1 or $2. $2.50 max. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 26, 09:10
- $3, $5, or $7 per, depending on the title. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 09:09
- Walmart sells new ones here in their bargain bin for $5...so probably less than that I guess. -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:09
- I'd offer someone ten bucks to take them away. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 09:09 1
  - I'd pay someone ten bucks to take you away. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 09:13
- $3-$5 (depending on the film) -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 09:09 3
  - That was the range I was expecting. Thx. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 09:10 1
    - You could also put a price on the whole box...if there's a lot of them. - Jim Jun 26, 09:10
  - yep. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 09:09
you know that people are way too wrapped in things when one of the ST females 'casually' mentions she has 2 new bikinis to break in, and no one says - prayformojo Jun 26, 09:07
PS3, Xbox 360 price cuts coming this fall? -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 26, 09:07 1
- Arcade unit are already going for $150 now. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 09:13
I forgot to mention in the Monday movie poll that I saw Fired Up. It was a good watch. B I'd say. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 09:03
I almost got struck by lightning today. Eff this -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 08:57 11
- missed again -- nm - God Jun 26, 09:01 3

    - ~this is the world we live in~ -- nm - lileve Jun 26, 09:04 1
      - it's no fun, being an illegal alien. - groiny Jun 26, 09:08
- I don't agree with the conspiracy theorist, but... - ty97 Jun 26, 08:59 2
  - well, lightning is real ty97 -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 09:01 1
    - This should not be here. I obviously need sleep, badly -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 09:02
- whoa, really? that's scary -- nm - Andie Jun 26, 08:58 2
  - yeah, I think walking around water in the rain while holding an aluminum rod is not such a smart thing to do, heh -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 08:59 1
    - If you stop doing that the lightning wins. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 26, 09:01
- Crack a Coors Light for me and pound it down. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:58
I found out the other day that one of my (intelligent) roommates thinks the moon landings were fake. I was surprised. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 08:57 1
- What really bugs me is all the "truthers" out there, who abuse the 9/11-tragedy on a daily basis. Those moonlanding CT-ers are innocent little loons - Facto Jun 26, 09:02
I will say, the hedge fund that owns 50% of Neverland Ranch is goig to make a killing. -- nm - znufrii Jun 26, 08:56
So, we're all in agreement, then? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 26, 08:55 4
- I would do anything, but I can't do that. -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 09:10
- next, the John vs. Paul debate. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:56
- I can't agree to that. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:56
- yes, it was a baby ox. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 08:56
people, people. we're all forgetting that Paul is already dead. haven't you listened to strawberry fields? seen the cover of abbey road? - mafic Jun 26, 08:49 5
- well, he is, the *walrus* -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 26, 08:52
- ~cranberry sauce~ -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:51 1
  - you probably think the moon landings were real! -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 08:55
- ~turn me on deadman~ -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 08:50 1
  - There's a movie coming out based exactly on this. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:50
Looks like HSX is up. -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 08:47 10
- oh, milestone! H$3,400,004,826.87! -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 08:54
- My sort by release date doesn't work. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 26, 08:53 1
  - It works, but not well. The stocks with no release date are at the top -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 09:15
- Wow, I'm at 600mil now. -- nm - lileve Jun 26, 08:51
- Leave the memories alone! -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 08:50
- I apparently have 805 million -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:50 2
  - $767 mil here -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:10
  - (I stocked up on sequels and other hollywood blockbuster dreck, and pseudo-abandoned the port a while ago.) - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:52
- FIRST POST! -- nm - mara Jun 26, 08:49 1
  - I admit, I do want to reply with "... dumbass" to that post, but I've sworn off using the HSX forums ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:52

- i think there's a difference we aren't discussing, if Brad, or Britney, etc died there would be an insane media blitz, but it wouldn't have lasting - Andie Jun 26, 08:54 2
  - This is exactly right. -- nm - Subversive Jun 26, 09:11
  - [deleted]
- Nah. Now...if Brad AND Anji were in the crash...THAT might be bigger. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:47
Today's pet peeve: "A couple" means two. Not a few. Not a punch. If you point at a bunch of pretzels in a bowl, that's not "a couple"! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:42 1
- you're wrong - marcel Jun 26, 08:56
One more McCartney thing that hasn't been mentioned. Sure...he had Wings, the Bond theme and some solo success...but calling it like it is... - Jim Jun 26, 08:41 14
- It also depends on the circumstances of his death. - pmb Jun 26, 08:47 1
  - and then there would be the trial ... that would be hugely entertaining. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:49
- He is the one that every woman who is now 50+ was crushing on at the time. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 08:45
- If he lives to be The Last Beatle (TM) it might add to it -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 08:44 8
  - Actually...this is a good point. But I'm pretty sure Ringo will have an All-Star band tour on his 150th birthday. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:45 1
    - Ringo's kind of like Spock, in that sense. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:47
  - so far they have died in the order they left the group. If it continues he will be last. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:44 5
    - Beatle trivia....Ringo was actually the first to quit during the Let It be recording at Twickham studios...... - Cartman Jun 26, 08:46 4
      - was he? I was sure it was John. oh well. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:48 2
        
        actually it was Paul who quit and quit for good....John kept threatening and quit, but came back... - Remlik Jun 26, 08:49
        
        John never quit during the Let It Be session...Only George and Ringo -- nm - amoxy Jun 26, 08:49
      - oh my. So there's going to be a Zombie Ringo? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:47
- Your last bit there highlights an important point: the manner of death is just as controversial as the iconic status -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:43
- Paul McCartney will never die! (plugs ears) *la la la la la la* Not listening! *la la la la* -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:43

- I cannot comprehend this. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 09:03
- This whole thread was designed to give me an aneurysm. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:47
- I don't give a crap about McCartney or any of his ventures. I couldn't name a single non beatles song. - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Jun 26, 08:45 6
  - live a little, be a gypsy get around, get yer feet up off the ground - groiny Jun 26, 09:01
  - Say, Say, Say! -- nm - ty97 Jun 26, 08:50
  - I can only assume this thread was composed tongue-in-cheek. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:49
  - I feel sorry for you -- nm - amoxy Jun 26, 08:46
  - Ok...you can't get a witness for this post. nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:46
  - [deleted]
- While it's difficult to separate him out from the Beatles' output, some Beatles songs are pretty specifically Paul's. Yesterday, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:44 21
  - I have no idea what this song is off the top of my head. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:45 20
    - That would be the most recorded song in history. nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:46 19
      - Still nothing. *shrugs* -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:47 18
        
        were you brought up on Mars? -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:48

        Hello Goodbye. Good Day Sunshine. Can't Buy Me Love. you know more than you think. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:52 10
        
        Baaaaand on the run... -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:53 9
        
        All we are saaaaaying.... is give peace a chance. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:54 8
        
        *smacks you senseless* -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:55 7
        
        I don't recall that song. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:59 6
        
        Give Peace a Chance is John and Yoko solo. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 09:01 5
        
        yet credited to Lennon-McCartney as a thank you to Paul... - Remlik Jun 26, 09:08 1
        
        he played drums on Ballad of John and Yoko. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 09:10
        
        Jack Dawson was mentioning Beatles-linked songs. You, yourself, mentioned Harrison's "Good Day Sunshine". -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 09:05 2
        
        GDS is not Harrison. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 09:05 1
        
        Damn. I was thinking "Here Comes the Sun" (and it was recorded by the Beatles first). Sorry. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 09:13
        
        Imagine is Lennon's. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:51 2

        Oh, OK. I thought you were looking for McCartney songs. - Reagen Jun 26, 08:53
        
        Can't watch vids at work. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:48
- The drink is finally affecting your brain. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 26, 08:44
so wow, Frank Darabont is planning on making a film based on King's The Long Walk? - Jovian Jun 26, 08:40 6
- Great news - I hope he gets to make it soon. -- nm - LMS Jun 26, 08:45
- Has a director ever latched onto a single author's work more than Darabont? - TFox Jun 26, 08:43 3
  - Well...he's still batting 1.000, so why not? And Long Walk will be perfect for Darabont. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:47 2
    - Oh, I'm all for it. He can make me my weird as hell The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon movie too. - TFox Jun 26, 08:49 1
      - Having seen interviews with both guys...I think that's exactly it. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:49
- WOO HOO!!!!!! There's no need for a huge budget on this one. It's pretty straight forward and will only need good performances to make it great. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:42
Is there anyone that the "biggest entertainer in the world" thing has worked out well for? -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:38 26
- I just think that often people who sort of claim that title and want to be "KING" or "QUEEN" also are so full of insecurity that they isolate - pmb Jun 26, 08:44 5
  - ahhhhh, maybe that is why Paul doesn't have one of those nicks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:45 4
    - Or because he was part or a group and couldn't. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 26, 09:01
    - Springsteen had one of those nicks -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 08:46
    - Yeah, that could totally be it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:46 1
      - it's kind of interesting, in interviews he makes it clear that they always knew they were good even at age 20. - loosilu Jun 26, 08:47
- Sinatra -- nm - Jovian Jun 26, 08:41 1
  - I'd agree with that. -- nm - mara Jun 26, 08:43
- Rossini. Tansen. Dickens. Haydn. -- nm - second gary Jun 26, 08:40
- Madonna isn't doing bad. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:40
- [deleted]
- Jordan. He is the smartest image and access control celebrity I've ever seen. - TFox Jun 26, 08:40 6
  - Yes, though it's waning. He leads a relatively quiet life these days. Of course he can do whatever he wants, but he's not out seeking the limelight. -- nm - pmb Jun 26, 08:46 2
    - that is *exactly* why he's the shit. he's like a recluse who doesn't come off as a recluse. - TFox Jun 26, 08:47 1
      - He's not a recluse. He's around doing what he wants. He just doesn't make that big of a deal about himself and what he's doing. - pmb Jun 26, 08:54
  - I'd ammend that to add "with an actual talent" after Celebrity -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:41 2
    - So Micheal Jordan has no talent? - amoxy Jun 26, 08:44 1
      - no, dork. I meant that he DOES have talent. Unlike, say, Paris Hilton. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:45
- Dolly Parton. - JaxSean Jun 26, 08:40 3
  - boobies!!!! -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 08:44
  - She is a truly lovely woman. -- nm - TFox Jun 26, 08:41
  - I found out that she is a huge, huge star in Africa. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 08:41

- Hulk Hogan. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:39
- Kim Jong-Il -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:39
Batman. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:37 4
- what does Batman even taste like?! -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:38 1
  - Probably a little like chicken. -- nm - second gary Jun 26, 08:39
