- *does the John Cena for Lesnar* -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jan 27, 10:27

  - Despite all his success, he's still a bankruptcy filing waiting to happen. -- nm - David Jan 27, 10:31
- I'm not a manager, or lawyer, or agent. But filing for divorce seems like a "must consult client" sort of thing. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jan 27, 10:25 2
  - Naw, Crash. The attorney *totally* did it on his own. - David Jan 27, 10:26 1

- Agreed -- even as a basketball player alone, he's not as good as they think; never mind the rape allegations. - Will Hunting Jan 27, 10:12 1
  - Yes, Colorado stuff makes me hesitant. For MeToo and similar campaigns, how does anyone forgive him, Look past it. -- (edited) - budice Jan 27, 10:18
The tag on this video was "With 1 roll of the eyes on this #1 hit, she turned every boy into a man". Only one song that could possibly be -- (link) - crash davis 😺 Jan 27, 09:44 [youtube] 5
- This video is *painfully* bloated. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 09:47 4
  - it is. but he's gotta hit that 20 minute mark for ad reasons -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 09:59 2
    - this is also every how to video: "let me explain the history of screwdrivers..." -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 10:02 1
      - totally -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 10:10

- Meh, I feel overrated at 36/30. +14/-4. For the first time, I lost a 0/1 lead, but I got a different big guy so it's fine. -- nm - Baron the Wonder Horse Jan 27, 09:55 1
  - And the new scheduler did me no favors :D -- nm - Baron the Wonder Horse Jan 27, 10:11

- I don't mean to disparage the song, it's a perfectly fine pop song. But why is it that music changed so much from 1964 to 1994, and hardly at all from - mara ❄️ Jan 27, 07:55 1
  - only if you look at it narrowly. There's whole genres that didn't exist in 1994 and hip/hop R&B has gone through like 3 evolutions in that time. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 08:10

He legally can't sell more than $20M worth without telling everyone what he's doing, and that would cost him money anyway. -- nm - Reagen Jan 26, 18:23 3
