Speaking of Psych...I love their new promo that takes a shot at The Mentalist. - Stephen Jul 27, 16:35 9
- I was totally anti-The Mentalist, but it turned out to be one of my favorite shows. The dark underlining is compelling -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:36 8
  - Simon Baker rules it and Amanda Righetti? Hawt. -- nm - Tim Jul 27, 16:44 3
    - Step off, bitch. I call dibs on her like 5 years ago. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:47
    - is she the red head? smokin. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:45 1
      - I love the extent they go to to de-emphasize her linebacker shoulders. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:46
  - I've watched it because my dad likes it, it really doesn't do anything for me. -- nm - Stephen Jul 27, 16:37 3
    - I watched two and felt the same. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 27, 16:45
    - The ending of the first episode had me hooked. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:42 1
      - I wish they'd stuck to that tone more. It was one of the better shot procedure pilots I can think of. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:43
I need a new TV series to get into. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:28 49
- Spooks...or as it's called here in The Colonies....MI:5 -- nm - Remlik Jul 27, 16:43 1
  - I've seen the first three seasons. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:48
- Spaced? -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:36 14
  - Yeah, I've seen it. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:40 8
    - it's a tough game. Like, I assume you've seen Mad Men and Dexter. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:41 7
      - About six episodes of each. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:45 2
        
        It's Always Sunny...? -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:45 1
        
        Hmm. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:48
      - Season one of Leverage is out on DVD now but again...cutesy. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:42 3
        
        I keep meaning to get to Coupling. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:44 2
        
        It's inconsistently brilliant. When it's on, you can't catch your breath from laughter. -- nm - Callisto Jul 27, 16:47
        
        that and Jekyll (both from Stephen Moffat) are quite good. -- nm - Remlik Jul 27, 16:44
  - I very much want to start this. TY to ST for telling me it's on Hulu. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:38
  - I have to say it's getting a little dated. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:38 3
    - yeah it is. Still some good stuff. -- nm - Remlik Jul 27, 16:44
    - I just realized the other day that it's over 10 years old! -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:39 1
      - We've probably thanked Ash enough by now. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:41
- What I Like About You -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 16:36
- Being Human has potential -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 27, 16:36 1
  - I have seen the first 4 or 5, and like it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 16:38
- Generation Kill is short but great. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:31 1
  - I'm saving this one. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:37
- I just watched the first few episodes of Hawaii Five-O. That show has some promise. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:30 7
  - Get Smart, The Man from UNCLE? -- nm - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:31 6
    - Exactly. They're better than 70% of what's on TV right now. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:31
    - Love Boat! -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:31 4
      - uhm...that one is 70% worse than anything on TV right now. - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:32 3
        
        You're talking to a dude who watched entire seasons of The A-Team. As an adult. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:39 1
        
        It's still worse than that. -- nm - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:43
        
        lol -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:33
- The Closer. Burn Notice. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 16:30 5
  - Unless Burn Notice gets much better as it goes, I don't think it's for me. The Closer is an option. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:35 3
    - it does get better, although I liked it from the start. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:36 1
      - But if you don't like the formula from the start, you probably never will. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:43
    - have you seen Saving Grace? -- nm - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:35
  - Agreed on both -- nm - Stephen Jul 27, 16:34
- Merlin is new next Sun. They are bound to do a season finale before Fall, obvie. -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 16:30
- Deadliest Catch? Psych? Rome? Deadwood? The Wire? Corner Gas? NCIS? Magnum PI? -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:30 1
  - I've either seen them or don't like them. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:34
- Whorehouse 13 -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:29
- Did you watch BSG? What about Psych? - David Jul 27, 16:29 8
  - I gave up on BSG in season three. Psych is indeed too cutesy. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:32 7
    - With 4.5 out today, this is a good time to finish. Also, people rave about Damages. -- nm - David Jul 27, 16:34 6
      - I think Damages would be at the top of my list. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:36 5
        
        Damages is good, thoug every once in awhile it gets a little over the top with flashbacks and flashforwards. -- nm - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:37
        
        ever watched Murder One? Great two seasons of legal drama -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:37 3
        
        I watched it live. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:42 1
        
        in the $15 TV set bin at Walmart here, my next round of DVD purchases. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:43
        
        Seconded. The bald guy recently showed up as a judge on another show, which amused me. - David Jul 27, 16:39
i was just BB'ing to find that McDonald's link and i notice truman's post. if you have to return your order 50% of the time... - Guy Jul 27, 16:22 10
- For me, they make an error one out of every fifty visits. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 16:39
- I've never had a problem with McD's screwing up my order. Taco Hell on the other hand... - Stephen Jul 27, 16:31 1
  - heh. wouldn't surprise me. they should just introduce a $10 "grab bag" meal. -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:32
- My family's orders at McD's are usually quite complex and rarely are they screwed up. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Jul 27, 16:30 1
  - ditto -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:31
- Most of the MacD's I've been to don't screw up orders often. - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:27
- it sounded like an extreme lactose intolerance thing, and ... well, some people just don't "get" that, so the mistake would probably happen everywhere -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:26 2
  - i didn't mean truman specifically - poor service has been a common McDs complaint for as long as i remember -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:27
  - (But of course, it could just be a personal preference or a weight loss thing, who knows) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:26
- ultimate comfort food -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:24
If I had to live on a rock 20 feet above the ocean I'd like to live here. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 27, 16:20 4
- That looks like something out of Harry Potter or Lemony Snickett ... awesome. - Beryllium Jul 27, 16:28
- That's wicked lovely. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Jul 27, 16:27
- is that really 20 feet? it looks like less -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:26 1
  - (beautiful at any rate) -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:26
What is the Wonder that gives 10% off on cargo boat purchases? tia -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:18 5
- Temple of Mays -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 16:27 1
  - But wait...! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:33
- Hermes. The Google Map has them listed at the very top. - TWuG Jul 27, 16:19
- Temple of Hermes -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:19
- Hermes. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:19
Jamie Bamber to guest star on Dollhouse in the season opener. -- nm - Remlik Jul 27, 16:17 3
- shirtlessly? -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 16:18 2
  - Yes please. - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:19
  - god I hope not. Unless Eliza does as well. Otherwise it's uneeded beefcake cheeese. -- nm - Remlik Jul 27, 16:19
Mel, on the military future ones - Reagen Jul 27, 16:17 6
- I blew through the benefit of Military Future with about 100 Phalanx. - Mel Profit Jul 27, 16:41
- i think he and dignan both meant the futures can wait? -- nm - b. Jul 27, 16:30 4
  - you have it right...the gold savings turns out to be much more valuable. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 27, 16:42
  - Right. I'll go for the futures when I have no other need for saving gold. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:33 2
    - that's why i was questioning - i went through half my gold this week, buying cargo ships after finding some big inactives. -- nm - b. Jul 27, 16:47
    - I decided to research 1 level of economic and military, that's it. My calculations indicated that in the best case scenario, I get my money back on - Guigue Jul 27, 16:39
LIR - b, guess we should keep in mind the tracking *was* provided by the USPS :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 27, 16:14 3
- From one stalker to another... - CovingtonCat Jul 27, 16:18 2
  - hmm... - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:25 1
    - Yes -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 27, 16:33
He blocked me from seeing any of his Facebook pictures. It's for the best right? Still feels like a huge snub. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:14 38
- Get over him and move on. -- nm - lileve Jul 27, 16:49
- Really you need to stop being his doormat. I had no doubt this was going to happen again. - Redmond Jul 27, 16:44
- Seriously? Oy vey, girl! You're more of an agent provacateur on ST than I am! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:17 1
  - well.. - b. Jul 27, 16:36
- It *is* a snub. You probably should unfriend him and stop looking for things to remind you of him. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 16:15 29
  - I told him last night when he called me at 4am (what does this mean?) that those pictures hurt me like none other -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:16 28
    - Man, is he ever playing you like a fiddle. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:18 9
      - why would he call me? why??? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:20 7
        
        because he was probably drunk at 4 am? -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:28 3
        
        what difference does that make? why would he call me drunk? sure as hell not for a booty call -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:31 2
        
        do people normally make logical, sensible decisions while inebriated? (have you really not heard of drunk dialing???) - Guy Jul 27, 16:39 1
        
        She's living with Jack right now. Of course she's heard of drunk dialing. - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:44
        
        TO HURT YOU! BECAUSE HE CAN! BECAUSE YOU LET HIM! -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 16:20 2
        
        YOU WILL NOT FI...oh to hell with it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:26 1
        
        i was waiting. ;) - -- nm - b. Jul 27, 16:27
      - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 16:19
    - Are they pictures of him with you or with another? Does it matter at this point? Block his calls. - TWuG Jul 27, 16:18 17
      - block his calls, unfriend him, do not go look at his fb page. - b. Jul 27, 16:25 15
        
        i can't, for the life of me, imagine how he could hurt me like this after everything we had together. - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:30 14
        
        it's not sudden. you have been through badness with him before, he hurt you (mentally and, dang it, he pushed you :/) in the past. - b. Jul 27, 16:44
        
        You can't imagine it? But you spend a lot of time trying, don't you. THAT'S what he wants. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 16:39
        
        He's doing it because he *can.* Because you allow it... - MojaveMeg Jul 27, 16:35
        
        we told you, what, like a year ago now? so when you keep asking us for a different answer, you can understand our frustration. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:34
        
        You aren't an idiot. But you are looking right at "why" and ignoring it. - TWuG Jul 27, 16:32 9
        
        I could hurt anyone I want. But I have no reason to create such hurt to anyone. So of all people, why would he hurt *me*? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:33 8
        
        i dont know context, but is it possible he thinks you are completely over it? like you say you are but really arent? - Guy Jul 27, 16:52
        
        maybe he's trying to get you to do what he can't? end things once and for all. -- nm - b. Jul 27, 16:49
        
        Most people don't go out looking for someone to hurt. But once they've got the knife stuck, they find it's easy to twist it and like the result. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:38 4
        
        Does such sadism actually exist? And in someone with whom used to be the best guy I ever knew in the world? Was he just a monster this whole time? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:39 3
        
        To him, he's not being sadistic. Maybe he's getting comfort or showing off or, maybe, yeah, he's getting a kick out of it. It doesn't register to him. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 16:45
        
        i have to ask - what did this 'best guy i ever knew' do to hurt you? -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:40 1
        
        Oh hell. Send up a flare if you need a rescue, Guy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:41
        
        I'll repeat: Because. He. Can. -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 16:36
      - all his photos -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:20
- Unfriend. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 16:15 3
  - it cracks me up when people use social sites to make some sort of statement. -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 16:31 2
    - Well, in this case it's a *social* statement and seems entirely appropriate. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 16:43 1
      - its the idea that - if i were to get into a fight with someone, running to FB to unfriend them doesn't even cross my mind - Guy Jul 27, 16:45
So, is Gates pretty much the first person to really throw out the race card since Obama got elected? - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 16:13 5
- Here's a column with one view on it. -- (link) - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:17 4
  - "Ya, I'll speak with your mama outside." Oh, MAN. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 16:31
  - Arch, I'm getting a bit tired of sites pushing me to their "mobile" sites - Stephen Jul 27, 16:22 1
    - Uh...argh I mean -- nm - Stephen Jul 27, 16:26
  - And another from the same writer. -- (link) - the liioulu with swag Jul 27, 16:19
Hee! Just caught a spy from the Island next door. The Island where I had to smack down a bully last month. - TWuG Jul 27, 16:12
Not bad, guys. I posted quite a juicy piece of bait at the top of B2 and you guys - for the most part - resisted. Bonus points! -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Jul 27, 16:12
Dano, that's kind of what I thought when I heard about the first scene of the movie. - Reagen Jul 27, 16:12 2
- I don't think that movie would ever get made. -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 16:14 1
  - maybe some conservative group could fund it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 16:15
Study finds men's desires lead to sex, women have sex *then* form desire and other intimate feelings -- (link) - Hotkiss Jul 27, 16:11 3
- hee hee, women are trampy. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:12 2
  - uh huh -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 16:45
  - (thank christ.) nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:15
bust it. nm - Dignan Jul 27, 16:10
