  - I don't have much interest in the hurt locker. I have this need to be entertained lately more than a need to be made to think. you know? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 30, 08:37

  - HA!!! I'm in academia now, that's why it's so horrible. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 08:32 3
    - Oh, I thought you worked in the military. -- nm - nubby in NC Jul 30, 08:34 1
      - it's a think tank for DOD. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 08:35

ST Poll: Anyone want to venture a guess if/ what spot Sugar Ray's new CD debuted on the Billboard Chart? - MDH Jul 30, 08:17 17
- I'd go see them provided tickets weren't too much and they did a lot of they old stuff. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 08:29 4
  - The LFO "reunion tour" is the worst for this. $25 tickets? Seriously. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:32 2
    - That is cheap for a concert now (but what is LFO?) -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:33 1
      - "I like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch...." -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:35
  - It's become so normal that if a band is of a certain age/time, they absolutely *have* to do old material - con_carne Jul 30, 08:31
- 99 -- nm - GWAA Jul 30, 08:26
- #1459 --nm - prayformojo Jul 30, 08:25 1
  - It was their album title :-p I mean this could be a Brooke Hogan guess -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:26
- near-miss -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:21 5
  - Due to the lack of guesses.... Sugar Ray #80 Ouch. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:25 4
    - perhaps they need ben stiller to make a movie that can use their songs and propel the album. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 08:26 3
      - That's an all-star idea. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 08:31 2
        
        That was not a Sugar Ray song. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:32 1
        
        No it wasn't, didn't say it was, but it was launched into higher popularity by it's use in a Ben Stiller movie. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 08:40
- And the same for Brooke Hogan's new album -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:21 2
  - Ugh that album cover! It looks like something the creepy looking dude at the dank end of the boardwalk would airbrush in 1985. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 30, 08:33
  - After a decent debut last time, this album #144 -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 08:28

LYC: As of December 2008, there were only 3,250 business in Canada that had more than 500 employees..... - Walt_Disney Jul 30, 08:09 1
- Why is that sad? There are only about 33M people living there. Personally, I think it would be great if we didn't have so many goliath companies - not2fast Jul 30, 11:35
SITWAP District 9 - New promo traier -- (link) - con_carne Jul 30, 08:08 [youtube] 2
- It's my understanding that District 9 was produced from the flames of the Halo movie. Production staff and crew migrated en masse. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 30, 08:28
- This looks like the stuff they play at the AMC screenings -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:27

    - When I was just out of college, I used to look forward to business travel. Then, I worked with people who did it all the time, heard their stories and - con_carne Jul 30, 08:11 8
      - i still look forward to it. oops -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 30, 08:14 5
        
        It's right for some people, because of the inherent craziness and lack of routine. I'm not that way, and I realized it's not for me. -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:16 4
        
        i like lack of routine, but for how long extended periods are we talking about? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 30, 08:17 3
        
        Exactly. My coworkers had "territories" across the country. They had so much ground to cover, and yet their work was totally seasonal. - con_carne Jul 30, 08:21 1
        
        In other words, if you wanted to excel at your job, you'd be traveling nine months out of the year, coming home occasionally. - con_carne Jul 30, 08:24
        
        that would depend on the job of course. some people travel constantly, some people monthly, some people yearly. -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 08:21
      - [deleted]
      - yup. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 08:12
- Usually I'm good at stying in the 1/2/3 range, but I might've tipped to an 8 by one of those later "straws." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 08:08
- Probably around a 6....annoyed but not much I can do. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 30, 08:07
- That's a 4, mainly due to the luggage. - ty97 Jul 30, 08:02
- 2 - Dano Jul 30, 08:01
- About an 8, but why did she need a bag for a meet & greet in Atlanta? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 08:01 2
  - Maybe the "samples" could not be carry on? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:02 1
    - okay, makes sense. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 08:03
- Since it all worked out (except for the painters) not that bad. Maybe a 6. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:01 1
  - really? - 'lia Jul 30, 08:10
- You really shouldn't check a bag for an in and out flight to Atlanta -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:00 10
  - i'm guessing it was the samples she had later. -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 08:02 9
    - [deleted]
    - UPS. Probably cheaper than putting the bag on the flight too -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:03 7
      - There and back in a day? Don't think so. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:04 6
        
        I'm sure it wasn't a spontaneous trip -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:04 5
        
        there are plenty of companies that wouldn't want their samples to be shipped to an outside company to just await one of their employees. -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 08:05 3
        
        sure. doesn't change that you shouldn't, just she couldn't -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:09 1
        
        Actually... it does. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:24
        
        yup. as a matter of fact it would've been easier to ship if it were an overnight trip, as she could've shipped it directly to the hotel. -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 08:06
        
        sometimes you have to deliver things in person. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 08:05
- one of those painters would have been dead by 8:05. -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 08:00 1
  - Plus, that was technically the next day. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:01
- oh, i'd be about an 8 -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 08:00
- better t han the one I had, by far. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 07:59
PlayOn begins beta streaming of video and online media (Hulu, etc) to Wii consoles -- (link) - oblique Jul 30, 07:57

I have a hot lunch date today. -- nm - ty97 Jul 30, 07:54 6
- *flexes* -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 07:57 4
  - I even did laundary for you. - ty97 Jul 30, 07:58 3
    - ironically, I have no clean laundry (but I do have clean underwear on) but I had to pick a shirt I haven't worn in a while - oblique Jul 30, 08:01 2
      - So, ty97 is wearing his best duds, and you are wearing something a little too tight. -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:02 1
        
        he likes it that way -- nm - oblique Jul 30, 08:03
- Hot lunch is good. -- nm - mara Jul 30, 07:56
cause you're hot n you're cold -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 30, 07:51
Are there any big movie still to come this summer that don't exhibit signs of sucking horribly *GI Joe*? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:50 26
- Whiteout and The Surrogates. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 08:39
- Inglorious Basterds. -- nm - Jim Jul 30, 08:23
- Twitter buzz so far seems to be the GI Joe is actually fun. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 08:02
- I may be in the minority, but I think I will love GI Joe. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 07:59 7
  - I wouldn't be that harsh if it wasn't GI Joe. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 08:09 2
    - So you want there to be "Imperialist" and "Russky" jokes with that Marine character? -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:13
    - If the had made it like that, kids today would not even want to go. - Spawn Jul 30, 08:11
  - Yeah, I like the ads I've seen. It will be no great work of art, but still. -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:04 3
    - It will entertain me and make me say "Whoa!" and that is good enough for me. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 08:11 2
      - I want to see Snake Eyes. If his part is good, that will go a long way for me. -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:26
      - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 08:14
- You all need to see "In The Loop" -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 07:54
- yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 07:53
- District 9 -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 30, 07:52 12
  - The Goods might be the next Hangover - Epiphany Jul 30, 07:52 5
    - I did not laugh at the trailer -- nm - amoxy Jul 30, 08:18
    - Probably not THAT big but the trailer did gets laughs before The Hangover, both times I saw it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 08:05
    - The marketing budget is huge, apparently, as I keep seeing ads......but they are almost unanimously unengaging. -- nm - ty97 Jul 30, 07:55 2
      - You live in the big city now. Movies always get marketed first and most often here. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 08:06
