I'm too young and healthy to get my 2nd booster! I have to wait 2 weeks, at which point I'll be the perfect amount of old and unhealthy! -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 10:08
If you like vinyl and like the band MUSE - Blood Records have a zoetrope that went onsale 8 minutes ago, limited to 8000 copies. -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 25, 10:07 2
- I like that. I have a Third Man Records album where a hologram of an angel appears when you play it. -- nm* - jnine Jul 25, 10:15 1
  - Ooh nice -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 10:26
Spamlet…good game and good luck. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:53
Sandman: terrific scene.... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 25, 09:48 4
- Dumb question: (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 25, 10:13 1
  - That's the Sandman. -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 10:24
- Fuck me. This show is too good for me. -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 10:11
- Just coming to post that. So good. -- nm - TWuG Jul 25, 10:08
Andrew Luck back playing football -- (link) - Remlik Jul 25, 09:42 2

- Dearest Mother, the soldiers get younger and younger. -- nm - Capt. Luck Jul 25, 10:00
So, guys like Ciampa have to be happy…might be a few months to unwind the Vince booking but Triple H has his guys - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:32 6
- possibly. While I don't think Ciampa goes to the top of the card he at least has a shot at it... - Remlik Jul 25, 09:38 5
  - now you know what's interesting....Gargano is out there. -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 09:40 4
    - I think Gargano may go back while Candice goes to AEW. -- nm - David Jul 25, 09:41 2
      - I could see them both coming back assuming Kevin Dunn is gone soon. HHH has as much to do with the women’s wrestling push - Will Hunting Jul 25, 09:44
      - I don't know about that now. I think one of Steph's top directives is to rebuild the women's division -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 09:43
    - This part of it reminds me of the movie Soapdish. -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 09:41
For some reason, this one's eyes remind me of ... I think ... Marvin the Martian. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 25, 09:21 [flickr]

  - Yes. This. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 10:55
- I watched three this weekend while I was cleaning. that show is so so terrible. -- nm - amanda Jul 25, 09:06 2
  - note that because it's an older-skewing show, it will 100% be number one this week in streaming ratings. also note that I never finished that other - amanda Jul 25, 09:10 1
    - I hate this show and will watch every episode eventually. I have not made it back to the Magnolias show yet, but I will get to it. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 09:49
- My mom already re-watched S1-S3 and watched S4. -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 09:01

  - heh -- nm - mud Jul 25, 09:03
Bummed to see that David Warner passed. :( - Jovian Jul 25, 08:23 6
- Tron, Time Bandits, Star Trek 5 and 6 and TNG in a 2 parter where he tortured Patrick Stewart (great part for Warner) -- (link) - Remlik Jul 25, 08:34 [youtube] 1
  - that TNG two-parter is definitely up there in the top episodes of its 7 year run. -- nm - Jovian Jul 25, 09:12

  - Well there's no beating that -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 09:41
I joined costco this weekend and the woman who signed me up really hard sold me on exec membership vs regular. I told her I didn't think I would use - amanda Jul 25, 08:00 18
- Exec plus Costco visa card rebates gets you %6 back on stuff plus already lowest price on gas...oh yeah nvr mind -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 10:04
- I'd say if you ever need to buy a computer or TV, get them there. Then the 2% pays for the membership easily. - JaxSean Jul 25, 08:10 9
  - I live in pennsylvania. we don't have liquor or beer at costco. I wonder if there's one just over the border in MD. wait, does costco MD - amanda Jul 25, 08:13 8
    - yeah when I was in Jersey I went to the COstco near Philly and wandered around for half an hour looking for the booze -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:20 2
      - But that is what you do *every* Saturday. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 08:31 1
        
        well....yes -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:36
    - ah no - amanda Jul 25, 08:15 4
      - Sucks. Yeah that 45% off is neechay -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 08:23
      - hmmmm -- (pic) - amanda Jul 25, 08:17 [Attachment] 2
        
        I saw them check here to buy alcohol. It's in the middle of the store that you have to have a card to get to. They had tequila as one of their samples - jnine Jul 25, 10:13
        
        woot! -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 08:34
- I dropped mine a little over a year ago. I wasn't buying enough cat litter to justify it and they had little else I wanted. - Meg Jul 25, 08:10 4
  - I have a membership with a friend. Everything is in too large a quantity for me, but it's been great to buy gas this year. The one in Fountain Valley - jnine Jul 25, 10:21 2
    - I've never bought their gas - don't like lines, and I can generally get $1.00 off at the Shell station with Ralphs fuel points for my monthly fill-up. -- nm - Meg Jul 25, 10:30 1
      - It's been $1,40/gal cheaper for premium. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 10:36
  - whenever I go to pittsburgh or harrisburg, I stop. I don't know if I'll see value, but thought it was the right thing to do to try. I will say - amanda Jul 25, 08:12

  - Wall Street Journal is doing the lead reporting on this...here is CNBC with link to WSJ...reporting on 4 women & $12 Mill right now in payouts -- (edited) - Remlik Jul 25, 08:37
- stock price going up -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:20 2
  - Investors think that WWE (as successful as it was) was held back by Vinny Mac is probably truth. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 25, 08:25 1
    - agreed. that and the possible expansion of business now. -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:43
- He probably wishes that Paul London *did* really blow him up in that limo. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 25, 08:03
- Hmm. A reference to "future" payments. I think we can assume the WWE won't continue to pay huah money. What happens to an NDA then? -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 08:00 5
  - They have a contractual obligation to pay the existing NDA's. They'll pay them. -- nm - pmb Jul 25, 08:11 2
    - WWE issued a statement saying he resigned instead of retired. Is that a big deal or no? -- nm - Remlik Jul 25, 08:53

  - From now on NDAs about illicit sex will be called huah money. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 25, 08:04 1
    - Only when involving Vince McMahon or Al Pacino. -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 10:13
- None of this is surprising. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 07:57

    - I did not expect it to get worse. - ty97 Jul 25, 08:59
    - Are you a pothead, Focker? -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 07:58
    - If you’ve ever thought to yourself: “Hey, I like Chia Pets *and* I’m a racist!” then boy do I have the product for you. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 25, 07:21 3
      - I expect the venn diagram here has more overlap than one might originally think. -- nm* - ty97 Jul 25, 08:59
      - I mean, I'd like to see the other minority options before I form an opinion -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:43
