  - Cruises aren't my thing. I just want to see him do standup live but for a bit of a more reasonable cost. -- nm - Krusty Mar 15, 16:11

        I liked her halftime show. And then I heard it put to the Muppet's Show Theme and liked it more. -- nm - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 15, 12:48
  - Agreed. And that is why. We listen to our stuff on XM. Their stuff is not our stuff. Bang Bang was like Lady Marmalade. It brought singers together you might not normally listen to. -- nm* - Cocaine Owlbear Mar 15, 12:30

      - no.. it's not. weight fluctuations are normal. -- nm - colin Mar 15, 15:14 2
        
        There's nothing normal about nine pounds in 13 days. If it were, this wouldn't be a story. -- nm - Halo Thoughts Mar 15, 15:39 1

  - Us either! And Ted Lasso just started! Still, I need rankings. Feed me rankings! -- nm - The Allfather Mar 15, 12:16 3
    - My lunch hours is almost over, but I'll put some thoughts into rankings and do them soon-ish. Don't listen to Remlik Luther : Dark Sun sucked -- nm - crash davis Mar 15, 12:22 2
      - Don’t Listen to Remlik is the only tattoo I’d ever consider getting. -- nm - The Allfather Mar 15, 12:24 1
