Facial recognition should be regulated enough not to allow for this. -- (link) - TWuG Dec 21, 12:27 7
- not to allow for what? - decline Dec 21, 12:34 6
  - Yes, I'd be fine with a photo. Also, MSG is being stupid about it and deserve condemnation. - TWuG Dec 21, 12:37 5
    - Sure MSG are being dicks - decline Dec 21, 12:47
    - I disagree that not permitting people they are currently in legal suit with isn’t a security issue. -- nm - Qale Dec 21, 12:40 3
      - The company is managing a legal risk, not a security risk. A security risk is something that makes it unsafe for the venues attendees, employees, etc. -- nm - Roger More Dec 21, 12:49 1
        
        I disagree. A legal risk is a security risk in this case. They are liable for whatever (if anything) this person does while there. So they don’t… - Qale Dec 21, 12:52
      - Their lawyers aren't a threat of any sort at a Rockettes show. It's MSG being petty. -- nm - TWuG Dec 21, 12:46
TIL there's a Perth Oval that goes by Perth Rectangular Stadium when international football is played there. -- nm - JD Dec 21, 12:26

- Great news! -- nm - zunk takes things literally Dec 21, 12:36
- Fantastic! -- nm - All I want for Xmas is znu Dec 21, 12:35
- awesome -- nm - decline Dec 21, 12:34
- that is WAY better than a contest! Congrats to her! -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 12:32 1
  - WAY! We just got the news last night...so we're pretty excited. nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:34
- That's amazing. Great to hear. -- nm - pmb Dec 21, 12:30
- Awesome sauce! -- nm - Dano Claus Dec 21, 12:29
- that's amazing! -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:27

  - Hey there - did I see that mini-spamlet is going to be interning for a vet's office? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:23 7
    - She'll be working as a vet assistant in Lawrence next semester. - spamlet Dec 21, 12:31 6
      - Wow! Very nice. My oldest is a surgical vet tech now - been a tech for the last couple years now. He loves it. - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:32 3
        
        That's great. She's not sure if the vet office life is for her so it's good that she'll work there for a semester as a freshman to figure it out. - spamlet Dec 21, 12:35 2
        
        Nice. Yeah, Jamie was a biology major as well - and decided that research WASN'T his thing. Which is a shame, cause that's where the money is. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:36 1
        
        NO IT'S NOT!!!!! - loosilu Dec 21, 12:37
      - that's great! -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:31 1
        
        Thanks! We're excited for her. -- nm - spamlet Dec 21, 12:36
- Yay! Continued shrinkage vibes! -- nm - JaxSean Dec 21, 12:22
ST Help. Who are two President portraits on the right side? -- (edited) - Jovian Dec 21, 12:19 23
- It's basically all presidents who are on US currency. (if coins are included) -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:26
- Jefferson and Hamilton -- (link) - Fuzzy Dec 21, 12:25 1
  - oh, I stand corrected...good link! -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 12:29
- hamilton and jefferson per this. nm but: -- (link) - i.b! Dec 21, 12:25
- Adams and Jefferson, IMO -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:24 1
  - I take back Adams, It's Hamilton -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:25
- I could be wrong but I think that is James Madison on the top -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 12:22 12
  - Looks just like Hamilton's bill shot, though. -- (link) - Spawn Dec 21, 12:24 10
    - I think Hamilton's forehead is bigger than the portrait. Also, given its Joe, I think they'd all be presidents. Note the biggest portrait - crash davis Dec 21, 12:27 8
      - it's the money presidents! -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:28 7
        
        and don't be telling me Jeff isn't on money, he's on the 2. -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:28 6
        
        and the nickel, what I will be telling you is that Hamilton was never president -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 12:29 5
        
        Never gone be president now... -- nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:31 3
        
        That is probably a burr under his saddle -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 12:33 2
        
        You're proud of yourself for that, aren't you? nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:35 1
        
        sort of proud. I'm hanging in there my friend, just trying to put one foot in front of the other every day -- nm - crash davis Dec 21, 12:37
        
        Ok, FINE, but he's still on the money. They all are. -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:31
    - Yea I think you are right. -- nm - Jovian Dec 21, 12:25
  - Thats what I thought too. But then again, I couldnt recognize the obvious Jefferson below it. - Jovian Dec 21, 12:24
- President Ben Franklin? -- nm - zunk takes things literally Dec 21, 12:22
- Hamilton (looks like the $10) -- nm - Spawn Dec 21, 12:21
- Jefferson on bottom -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:20 1
  - Jesus I need to get my glasses updated. Seriously. -- nm - Jovian Dec 21, 12:22
My wife insists that Love, Actually is the most rewatchable christmas film. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 12:18 8
- It's unfortunate there's a couple of scenes that make it un-kid-friendly. -- nm - Mop Dec 21, 12:28 1
  - Oh, and die hard is kid friendly? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 12:32
- We watched it 2 weeks ago and I had to check with my wife that we watched it 2 weeks ago. Doesn't do much for me. except (spoiler) - zunk takes things literally Dec 21, 12:28
- I know a lot of people rewatch, but I get “the holiday” more. - i.b! Dec 21, 12:21 1
  - The Holiday is great. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 12:32
- Ranks high - a sleeper candidate is The Holiday because of Winslet and *rechecks notes*. Jack Black. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:20 1
  - heh, I didn’t see this before I posted. :) - -- nm - i.b! Dec 21, 12:22
- Your wife is clearly wrong because the answer is Die Hard. -- nm - sycor Dec 21, 12:20
Oscars shortlists are being announced now -- nm - budice Dec 21, 12:14 5

- I don't think they'll pull the trigger on Bullet Club, but it's absolutely what I would do. -- nm - David Dec 21, 12:06 1
  - if I read it correctly, she's there for a few weeks. Sooo...they could. -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 12:14
Where do you stand on Home Alone: Christmas classic or unwatchable mess? - musubi Dec 21, 12:02 34
- I think I've seen it once. Maybe not all the way through. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 21, 12:51
- I would not go as far as to call it an unwatchable mess. But leaning that way. I also agree with your IM. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 21, 12:39
- TBH I thinks it's too violent. - zunk takes things literally Dec 21, 12:30 1
  - So you don't accept Die Hard as a Christmas movie? -- nm - colin Dec 21, 12:43
- It's meh, for me. I have no reason to ever watch it again. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Dec 21, 12:29
- It’s a classic. - Loyola Dec 21, 12:27
- It's like Full Metal Jacket or Stripes (though different genres); one giant part of the film is classic and rewatchable. - JaxSean Dec 21, 12:19
- I watched it once and that was more than enough. -- nm - Spawn Dec 21, 12:18
- mess -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 21, 12:18 1
  - . the parents were fools for not counting the kids before they left the house. -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 21, 12:19
- We must part ways on the definition of classic here. Definitely classic. -- nm - jnine Dec 21, 12:16
- Classic. But its not my favorite. That honor goes to A Christmas Story. -- nm - Jovian Dec 21, 12:16 2
  - I detest A Christmas Story -- nm - ty97 Dec 21, 12:18 1
    - Ditto. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 12:18
- I saw it when it came out. -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:15
- My father doesn't really sit down to watch movies, but if he flips by a channel and Home Alone is on, he will watch it and laugh and laugh and laugh. -- (edited) - ty97 Dec 21, 12:13
- not sure I’ve rewatched the whole thing since the first time I saw it in theaters -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 21, 12:12 1
  - I think this is the same for me. my recollection is it was entertaining but terrible, never felt the need to rewatch. - i.b! Dec 21, 12:17
- Classic. -- nm - Qale Dec 21, 12:11
- i only watched it for the first time about 10 years ago. I both (a) cried, and (b) don't need to watch it again. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 12:11
- I never really liked it. It had a couple of funny moments but was mostly kind of awful. -- nm - pmb Dec 21, 12:10
- Decadal christmas pleasure. - Beryllium Dec 21, 12:07
- Kevin, you're such a disease -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 21, 12:06
- Can't watch it. Same with Elf. I've tried, I've failed. -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 21, 12:05 4
  - I still love elf, it's got a sincerity that I still love. - musubi Dec 21, 12:06 3
    - This is the charm of Elf, it is not ironic, or sly, just 100% sincere. -- nm - Andie Dec 21, 12:11 2
      - yep. -- nm - i.b! Dec 21, 12:18
      - Yep. It’s my favorite 2000’s Xmas movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:16
- Classic -- nm - Beaker Dec 21, 12:03
- I've never seen It's a Wonderful Life or Home Alone. I've only seen clips. -- nm - Dano Claus Dec 21, 12:03 3
  - It's a Wonderful life is cheesy AF but there's the cultural literacy thing. -- nm - loosilu Dec 21, 12:16
  - David cannot complete the Top 100 list from backboards because he has never watched ET -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 21, 12:11

David, her and Tegan Knox will tie up, and when Chelsea picks up Tegan, she’ll tear an ACL, and Tegan will break her wrist in the fall. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:01 6
- with an Eva Marie run in -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 12:04 1
  - Listen, I’m talking ironic satire … no need to make this an unwatchable comedy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:04
- I saw they’re looking at Cody vs Seth (again) and that might be dumber than anything vince did. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:03 3
  - Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Seth somehow morphed into Ziggler. -- nm - David Dec 21, 12:07 1
    - I think he’s a bit higher on the totem than Ziggler only because Hunter is pushing the US title more. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:14
  - Seth gets him in ring shape for WM. If he can handle it against Seth he's good to go at WM -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 12:04
"let the cops fall where they may" == Musubi thinks his team's a bunch of criminals! -- nm - David Dec 21, 12:00 9
- Lol. Actually for a change (outside of the dude they traded for from the Rays) the team is very likable. - musubi Dec 21, 12:04 6
  - I mean, Correa admitted he's a cheater. -- nm - David Dec 21, 12:06 5
    - oops. -- nm* - i.b! Dec 21, 12:35
    - ^part of why I’m not as vexed as many other giants fans seem to be. that and remembering barry zito. - i.b! Dec 21, 12:31 2
      - Believe it out not, I actually feel bad for the giants and their fans. - musubi Dec 21, 12:46 1
        
        yah, that one hurt. oh well, hopefully scrappiness will prevail. — nm - i.b! Dec 21, 12:49
    - Meh. I don't condone it, but it's fairly mild sign stealing -- (edited) - musubi Dec 21, 12:08
- Clearly robbing banks given the payroll. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 12:01 1
  - if that’s what you want to call insider trading, yes -- (link) - hollywood big shot Dec 21, 12:15
