SITWAP Real Simple magazine 1-year for $5 -- (link) - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:12 11
- A well designed print magazine. -- nm - lileve Jul 13, 11:17
- just thinking about that magazine makes me angry. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 11:13 9
  - it's probably the only magazine i'd stop to read -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:13 8
    - I really like it too. such excellent production values if nothing else. thanks for the link! -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:14 2
      - anything that makes me want to clean up and purge is a good thing! -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 11:19
      - I know! Nice paper, solid cover, soft colors on the front *sigh* -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:15
    - I find it unbearably snotty, while pretending to be down to earth. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 11:14 4
      - I also like to read Good Housekeeping and Woman's Day. I have the mind of a mother of three. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:15 1
        
        those just make me feel like I'm in a hellish prison. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 11:17
      - they do say that sometime people who are too alike have trouble getting along sometimes... - TFox Jul 13, 11:15 1 1
        
        it wants me to clean and organize. It looks like a pottery barn magazine. It's the embodiment of everything I hate. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 11:16
Wow, the Dow is really up today. - Loyola Jul 13, 11:11 2
- until Goldman Sachs reports tomorrow and misses the rumored earnings by a penny/share, thus preceipating a 1000 point drop in the Dow. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 11:13
- Fueled by all the Tim Hortons purchases in new york -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:13
[deleted] 1
- Love her. -- nm - Slabes Jul 13, 11:13
We're going to see Bruno tonight. I predict sore stomach muscles tomorrow. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:10 2
- you think your friends are gonna sock you in the stomach for dragging you to it? -- nm - dogbert183 Jul 13, 11:16
- or a good night's sleep. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 13, 11:10
So, Harper's Island (spoils) - prayformojo Jul 13, 11:09 5
- your first question...(spoilers) - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:12 1
  - i don't know how i missed that. last week was the re-broadcast of the pilot. i guess i missed 2 weeks ago (thanks!) -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 11:15
- Spoils me fully please. We quit after maybe the 6-7 episode and have no interest to continue. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:11 2
  - ummmm...... - prayformojo Jul 13, 11:14 1
    - Cool thanks. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:15
Did everyone get the Woot email a little bit ago, or just those that ordered the lights/BOC yesterday? Either way, coupon codes for $5 off. - JaxSean Jul 13, 11:08
BusinessWeek for sale. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 13, 11:08
sleeping 6 people to a hotel room isn't *that* outrageous, is it? - znufrii Jul 13, 11:04 18
- [deleted] 7
  - two double beds and sleeping bags on the floor. - znufrii Jul 13, 11:12 4
    - Is it okay that I don't see anything remotely weird about this? Very smart, in fact. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:14
    - [deleted] 1
      - I wasn't the one volunteering to sleep on the floor, but I'm more than willing to let my friends camp out to save a buck. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:15
    - (and we'd be three couples so it wouldn't necessarily be awkward) -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:12
  - In the hot tub full of pudding, of course. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 13, 11:11 1
    - I've heard of a tub of pudding ... but a HOT tub of pudding? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:12
- I'd rather sleep in my car. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 11:07
- nah, call it quits at 12 though -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:06 2
  - damnit, you beat my "hotkiss si" joke! :) -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:07 1
    - hehe :) -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 11:09
- No. You'll be fine. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 11:06
- Are you in college? -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 11:06 2
  - close - znufrii Jul 13, 11:10
  - *giggle* (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 11:10
- Are you in Mexico? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 13, 11:05 1
  - nah, just trying to save money going to a friend's wedding upstate -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:07
From that Free Documentaries place, aren't charges about to be brought re: the events in "Afghan Massacre"? -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 13, 11:02
is it fair to say that Boxing as pretty much dead and that the UFC has kinda taken over? -- nm - Jovian Jul 13, 11:00 42
- UFC related: How much of a dick is Henderson for that post-knockout followup punch? - Dignan Jul 13, 11:14 5
  - here's my take: it actually happened pretty quick. watching the fight I think it was obvious he was out immediatly, but then I'm not the one who was - dogbert183 Jul 13, 11:25
  - I would expect him to get fined by the Nevada authorities and the only reason he's not fired ala Sobral is he is still a big name fighter. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:15 1
    - The thing is, the ref hadn't stopped the fight. As crappy as it was, it was legit. - Dignan Jul 13, 11:18
  - See...that's what I said too. You "shut him up" when you knocked him out...that second punch could have ended his life...how can Rogan joke about that - Stephen Jul 13, 11:15 1
    - I was very surprised that he admitted it. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:20
- I bought the UFC PPV on Saturday with some friends....first EVER PPV I bought....all good bars in my area had stopped taking reservations last week... - Walt_Disney Jul 13, 11:13
- I think boxing has been dead for a while, and the UFC is simply filling the void. -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:10
- ugh. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 11:10
- Unfortunately true I think. - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:05 1
  - I agree completely. -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 11:07
- I prefer boxing but it needs a reboot and the corruption needs to be removed -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jul 13, 11:05 2
  - Sounds like MLB. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:06
  - needs regular TV programing as well. Spike and UFC joined forces at exactly the right time -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:05
- No, I think one is just run better than the other right now. - con_carne Jul 13, 11:04
- Relatedly, b/c I missed it this weekend: why are people anti-Lesnar? - TFox Jul 13, 11:03 23
  - Another reason: he's in it purely for the money. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:16
  - has was 1-1 before being given a title shot. - dogbert183 Jul 13, 11:15
  - Cock-chest. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 11:07
  - He's a complete ass. I don't buy the easy road to the title cuz if he wasn't ready, either Mir or Couture woulda/shoulda beat him now. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:06 4
    - Lots of guys are "ready" for a title shot, but you should still have to climb the ladder like anyone else. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:08 2
      - They had no one else really; and they rolle the dice. If he loses to Couture, he's a footnote for 2 years if he's even still in the organization. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:10 1
        
        I agree with you, he's certainly no Kimbo Slice (but Dana saw through his build from the get go) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:11
    - I can.not.wait. for Dana to sign Fedor to fight him...mega bucks all around in that one -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:07
  - many of them think it's unnatural for two people of the same gender to have sexual relations. I have no idea. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:05
  - die hard MMA people think he was pushed too fast and gets by on his size based on articles and blogs I have read...plus he's a shithead -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:04 13
    - so was Mir in all the pre fight matches he was jerk. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:10 5
      - er...pre fight interviews. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:11 4
        
        pre fight is building buys though, not shaking hands, flipping off the crowd, shitting on your sponsors all dickish after the fight is over -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:12 3
        
        shaking hands? Why they heck do that...I find that pretty fake anyway.... - Remlik Jul 13, 11:14
        
        I guarantee his boss was muy muy happy with him in the morning. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:13 1
        
        yeah Brock said Dana took him behind the woodshed afterward -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:16
    - Yup. -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:10
    - Pretty much. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:06 2
      - I'm still amazed he hasn't tested positive for roids yet.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:07 1
        
        ...yet -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 11:14
    - but it's fun to watch people try to beat a shithead champ, isn't it? otherwise the concept of 'heels' wouldn't mean anything. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:05 2
      - There's heels...ala Tito Ortiz.....and basically a guy taking a dump on the organization who pays him. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:07 1
        
        totally agree he should not have done that. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 11:11
- I haven't heard the buys for UFC 100 but it was expected to break all kinds of records for PPV buys -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:02
- UFC has sold more PPV's than WWE & Boxing the last 2 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:02
- Does it matter? They're both dead to *me* :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:01
OMG - i just cc'd someone on an email where my friend's husband comments on how much he *doesn't* want her to come - Andie Jul 13, 10:58 7
- maybe she won't read all the way to the bottom of the thread. -- nm - Roger More Jul 13, 11:04 1
  - that's kind of what i'm hoping for. -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 11:05
- YIKES!!!! -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jul 13, 11:03
- Your facial expression at the moment of realization must have been priceless (sorry) -- nm - Max Jul 13, 10:59 1
  - In fact, I'd like to equip all computers with cameras to capture just this moment for a website of tragically funny photos. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 11:00
- hit the recall! -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:59 1
  - does not exist. -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 11:00
any STers driven a Scion before? -- (link) - Guy Jul 13, 10:57 2
- I toyed with the coupe when I bought the acura. I didn't love it. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:04
- What you need to know is that the entire Scion brand was *designed for you*. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:00
This is how I'll remember Arturo Gatti... - Mel Profit Jul 13, 10:56 [youtube] 12
- "Arturo, what do you want to be when you grow up?" "Rocky." SUCCESS! -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:05
- Such a great fight and what an amazing round! - Krusty Jul 13, 11:02
- That was brutal. Brutal. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 13, 11:01
- Friggin fannnnnntastic fights. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 10:59 5
  - I'm still looking for the punch Gatti threw that knocked Ward out on his feet... - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:03 4
    - Re-watching this; the ref shoulda stopped it soon after the first knockdown. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:05 3
      - The straight shots to the head by Gatti later are brutal. - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:08 2
        
        Off that link is also the Corrales Round 10 with like 3 knockdowns and the knockout. That round is even better imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:11 1
        
        You have to take the Ward/Gatti Round 9 in context... - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:19
- I was thinking of this this morning. WWE and UFC make a mint off of DVD sales, yet I have never seen a boxing DVD of great fights... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:57 2
  - Becuase WWE & UFC own their fighters & events. Boxing is splintered amongst all the independent contractors and the various criminal organizations, - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:00 1
    - mmmmm, HBO or the promoters should try and sneak the rights for DVDs into the contracts :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:01
The Cubs are making money though, aren't they? Isn't that kinda....wrong....for them to file for bankruptcy? - ty97 Jul 13, 10:56 8
- by filing bankruptcy they can wiggle out of some contracts, renegotiate their stadium deal, transfer ownership maybe easier? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 11:00
- [deleted] 5
  - Explain to me, please, how the Cubs owner (Tribune) can be in bakruptcy and the Cubs can (separately) enter backruptcy - ty97 Jul 13, 11:05 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - You had me until the last line - ty97 Jul 13, 11:12 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        now let's talk about fiat currencies -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:14
- the fact that the cubs make money is not just kinda wrong, it's all out wrong -- nm - dogbert183 Jul 13, 10:58
What's important here is that Jeff Francoeur is a New York Met. - David Jul 13, 10:55 12
- He's batting .444 for them and they are undefeated with him in the lineup! -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 13, 10:59 2
  - Give that man a four-year extension and build your team around him! -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:08
  - Dayton Moore, you hear that! We'll take Greinke off your hands for The Frenchman. (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 11:03
- I'm just waiting for Ashton Kutcher to show up and reveal I'm being Punk'd. - musubi Jul 13, 10:57 7
  - Just imagine the glory you could have if he turns it around. the mocking of David. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:00 6
    - "I thought the Washington Generals were due!" -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:09
    - It's just about as likely that Ollie Perez will become the next Sandy Koufax. (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 11:04 4
      - You gave up a dud anyhow. It's not like you gave up Fernando Martiinez for him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:12 3
        
        Unless it was a bucket of (used) infield balls, it was still an overpay. (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 11:15
        
        They gave up a legit outfielder for Jeff Francoeur. - David Jul 13, 11:15 1
        
        This is what effing kills me. The Mets needed an OF, so they gave up what was really their only real major leaguer currently on the roster? - musubi Jul 13, 11:18
- ... and he listens to Dautry -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:56
Daughty looks constipated when singing. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:54
Dautry is an American Idol Reject -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:53 16
- but arguably one of their top 3 sellers (Carrie and the first winner are 1-2) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:54 15
  - The new album will probably bump him from 4 to 3, but Aiken is still #3 -- (link) - ty97 Jul 13, 10:57 2
    - cool (Aiken is pretty much washed up at this point though right?) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:58 1
      - Less than 4k units sold of his most recent...yeah, he's done. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:01
  - [deleted] 2
    - ... sober. -- nm - JackDawson si Jul 13, 10:57 1
      - No, that's a Pink song. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 11:07
  - "top 3 sellers" shouldn't be "arguable" -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 13, 10:55 6
    - as st/tt and politics have proven time and time again, facts will never stop an arguement -- nm - dogbert183 Jul 13, 10:57
    - yeah I meant top 3 "acts" but I bet he is probably #3 seller as well -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:56 1
      - and plus I wasn't sure, arguable was a poor choice of words on my part... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:59
    - here? -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:56 2
      - anywhere, dumbass -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:56 1
        
        ty97, i will fight you until you bleed sadness, dumbpenis. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:57
  - clarkson -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:54 1
    - thank you, that would have drove me bonkers -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:55
Daughtry is so popular he does 6 shows a day, starts at 6 am and ends at 2 am...he does not need sleep -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:53 6
- He had solar panels installed in his eyebrows. Not only does he not need sleep, he now supplies 10% of the electricity to whatever city he is in. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 10:55 4 1
  - this is flipping hysterical. you must promise to get drinks with me when I sucker my job into sending me to NE. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:02 3
    - *pinkie swear* -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:03 2
      - note that I didn't give you the option of lunch. or "or something." we're drinking. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 11:06 1
        
        wouldn't have it any other way. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 11:08
- Is Chuck Norris his publicist? (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 10:54
