Pre-Order Left 4 Dead 2, Get Demo Early [Left 4 Dead] -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:36
So I got a media guide for an event on the weekend in the form of a thumbstick, done up in a nice, logoed leather case. - Reagen Jul 6, 07:33 4
- Probably using up old stock. Some promotional company gave them to them for nothing, I bet. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:35
- using up old stock? -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:35 2
  - Curses! -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:35 1
    - Snidely? - zork Jul 6, 07:37
ST want to help me with some fun conjecture? On my way home from camp on the 4th, I got rear ended by an industrial dump truck. - TFox Jul 6, 07:29 31
- this is *exactly* what happened to dave last fall. - Andie Jul 6, 07:38
- For a $2200 car...that amount of damage will result in the car being totaled. I'd almost guarantee it. - Jim Jul 6, 07:32 11
  - [deleted] 10
    - OK, word, thanks for verifying the gut check. I can only imagine how quickly he'd be out the $3k if he ran it through his commercial fleet insurance. - TFox Jul 6, 07:35 8
      - Yeah, I would imagine the business owner will pay it in a heartbeat. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:36 7
        
        the driver was using it for himself? I say he makes the driver pay it (or run it through HIS insurance). -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:37
        
        I wonder what the shit job you demoted to is at the garbage company. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 07:37
        
        I think he'll run it through the insurance. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:37 4
        
        To do that he'd probably have to file a police report. Rear end collision? Could get messy. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 6, 07:38 1
        
        Culpability has already been agreed to by both parties involved though. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:39
        
        No way. $3000 is peanuts compared to how much his insurance could go up. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:38 1
        
        Bet you $10 he goes with the insurance option. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:38
    - Well...if there's one thing I know...it's wrecking cars and dealing with insurance. ;) -- nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:34
- your insurance company will probably call it a total loss and pay not more than the value of the car. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:32 1
  - *His* insurance company, you mean? -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:37
- That's what the insurance company would do if you did put it through insurance. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:32 13
  - and they get to charge higher premiums on a newer car! -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:33 11
    - for a rear end? they can't. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:33 10
      - the insurance on anything he buys will be more than for an old Escort. plus around here they bump your rates even if your not at fault - zork Jul 6, 07:34 4
        
        A rear ender would never be considered your fault. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:37 3
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Loyola Jul 6, 07:37 2
        
        not saying it would be your fault but you are still a higher risk to them -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:39 1
        
        because you attract accidents that are not your fault? -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:43
      - I think he meant just because the car might be worth more so the insurance would be higher. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:34
      - Don't tell us what we can't do! -- nm - Insurance Company Jul 6, 07:34 2
        
        if someone raised my rates for a rear end, I'd switch companies. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:35 1
        
        you'd have to move from here to avoid it -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:36
      - oops sorry, I thought you were referring to points for the accident. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:33
  - exactly, they are not interested in paying more than that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:32
- [deleted] 1
  - I was thinking the whichever is greater part also. -- nm - zork Jul 6, 07:32
LYC: The leaked Jennifer Lopez song "Hooked on You" is really good - MDH Jul 6, 07:26

Today is the day that ABC content begins to show up on Hulu, right? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:19 4
- How we doing today ? -- nm - eag Jul 6, 07:26 2
  - this is my motto today: bah, sleep is for wussies. - tRuMaN Jul 6, 07:29 1
    - wanna trade? I'm sleeping too much. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 07:31
- Yes, Grey's Anatomy is supposedly the first ones. (They should put Better Off Ted on there a.s.a.p.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:21
now that the memorial service is approaching, is anyone going to do an MJ nick? - zork Jul 6, 07:19 3
- Redmond doesn't give a shit, maybe. Redmond wants it all to go away? Redmond thinks the kids are better off? -- nm - Redmond Jul 6, 07:24
- No. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:22
- I'd just as soon the circus be over. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 07:21

As much as I wanted Jon Hamm to win it, I'm beginning to see why Bryan Cranston got the emmy for Best Actor last year for Breaking Bad. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 6, 06:59
Was Definitely, Maybe an okay film? I decided to record it as an option for my wife and I to watch together. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 6, 06:58 8
- it was decent - a creative flair to rehashed storyline. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:20
- Yeah...it'sa good date night kinda flick. -- nm - Jim Jul 6, 07:18
- Yeah, we both liked it. -- nm - kelly Jul 6, 07:18
- pleasant enough. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 07:14
- I liked it which is unusual for a romcom. -- nm - LMS Jul 6, 07:12
- Definitely. (Maybe.) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 07:03
- Liked it quite a bit -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 07:00

  - Isn't B++ just an A-? If not, what's the difference? -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 07:07 5
    - "B++" is better than than a "B+", but I can't justify it being an "A", so it's worse than an "A--" -- nm - Ender Jul 6, 07:28 2
      - It's as if "B" meant "Good" and "A" meant "Excellent", and a "+" is like a "very" in front of the word. - Ender Jul 6, 07:31 1

  - I've got to try Dexter again. Watched season 1 and it was weird... - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 06:47 1
    - It's definitely a unique show. I especially like the music; it's really outstanding for a tv show. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 6, 06:50
  - She's a bit more tolerable (and apparently took some acting lessons) after season 1. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 6, 06:44 6
    - Excellent. I really can't stand her right now. -- nm - Subversive Jul 6, 06:45 5

Wow, they even notified the "losers".... Sorry, we regret to inform you that your registration to attend the Public Memorial Service for Michael Jacks - CrankYanker Jul 6, 06:33 10
- "In 5 years you will be so happy you didn't go with all the other losers, congrats you don't get to go. Thank us later" -- nm - Redmond Jul 6, 07:23

  - Hey! There's my True Blood slackermate. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 6, 06:40 2
    - oh man, I am behind - our free air to sat string went out - and then we were gone - so I am woefully behind. are they Itunes available? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 07:21 1
      - Honestly don't know but the most recent eps are delivering. I actually like teen vampire Jessica she had what may be the funniest line in the series - HdnAgnda Jul 6, 07:42
- Smart move. Maybe it will stop at least some of them from going down and wondering if they got tix or if there was a mistake yada yada yada. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 6, 06:34 4
  - It's gonna be a mess before it's over. How many sets of tickets are out there to people who are not going to show up? - BAD Jul 6, 06:39 3

  - [deleted] 8
    - Honestly, I'd match it to whichever you hit better. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:18
    - If you were planning on matching it, I'd match it to the 5. Drivers are often a standalone club in the bag. - TFox Jul 6, 06:52 6
      - Agreed, and it really doesn't matter a ton. My driver, 3, and 5 woods are all from different manufacturors. - Subversive Jul 6, 07:09 2
        
        Yep. My driver, 3 wood, hybrids, irons, and sand wedge are all different. (I don't think I have a 5 wood in the bag anymore.) -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:11 1
        
        My woods are the same, then all my irons are the same. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 07:22
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Thank you, and again, sorry about your butthole. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 07:04 1

- since you are around, I have a Josh Hamilton question - how did he simultaneously go to the minors and to the All Star Game?? - Epiphany Jul 6, 06:35 4
  - [deleted]
  - He was hurt, so he is in the minors to rehab. It isn't a real "you blow, go fix it in the minors" demotion. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 06:37 1
    - (although, it is true that all four of the reserve outfielders deserve to start more than Hamilton.) - TFox Jul 6, 06:39
