  - better ? :) -- nm - JAMES PATTERSON with beaker Aug 10, 10:08 2

  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 10:05

    - This is the stupidist thing you have ever said. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 10:05 9
      - no, I'm sure I've said stupider. -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 10:07 5
        
        Even when you've contradicted yourself in the same post, it never rose to this level of stupidity. - TWuG Aug 10, 10:09 3
        
        See, now you are going there. - Spawn Aug 10, 10:10 1

- what was the wall and town hall like? - tRuMaN Aug 10, 10:04
- IIRC someone once posted that they are like 2 Phalnax, so double it and send what you would against that many phalnaxs -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 09:50 7
  - Oh geez. He's got 89 steam giants. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:51 6
    - send a couple spies from each of your towns, you can open a half dozen holes in the wall, plus a dozen catapults and you level it - zeitgeist Aug 10, 10:04

I have baby oil in my ears...seriously. - Beaker Aug 10, 09:46 5
- Well it's oil so it would probably burn right? - Cuzzin Todd Aug 10, 10:00 2
  - but the wax could burn for days! -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 10:02 1

  - Dude, he was on The Simpsons. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 10, 09:51
  - Yeah! Who cares about black holes and understanding quantum theory? -- nm - TWuG Aug 10, 09:50 2
    - and what a crappy speaker. He talks in total monotone. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:50 1
      - He cheated on his wife, too! - TWuG Aug 10, 09:52

47 passengers, including 2 babies, trapped on airplane for 20 hours in MN. -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 10, 09:33 15
- This is completely unacceptable. But where is Consumerist getting 20 hours from? - ty97 Aug 10, 09:52 2
  - where are you getting those times from? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 10, 10:10
  - Time zones, silly. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 10:04

    - [deleted]
- at some point you willingly take the hit of Feds coming to take you off cause you are a " flight risk". - Epiphany Aug 10, 09:42 3
  - I would have called the cops and told them I was being held against my will on the airplane. - decline Aug 10, 09:49 1
    - would this be more appropriately a mass kidnapping, or simlpy unlawful imprisonment? -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 09:50
  - They money I got from the airline would more than cover the fine. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:43
- You'd have to arrest me to stop me from getting off that plane. Still, I'd be sleeping more comfortably in a jail cell. - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:41 2
  - "Yes, 911? I'm being held against my will." -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 09:46

  - Yes. Mind-boggling. Hope they all win BIG time. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 10, 09:37
The $9 from Burlington to JFK is very appealing. That actually gets me somewhere. Burlington is about 90 minutes from my folks. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:21 1
- And one of the most scenic drives I've ever undertaken - especially once you get over the border into Vermont. - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:26
So I ask myself: What's the quickest, most reckless way to lose weight? - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:20 36
- A steady diet of crack -- nm - con_carne Aug 10, 10:11
- don't eat -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 10, 10:09
- Grapefruit Diet! -- nm - Beaker Aug 10, 09:51

- Mono, best diet ever! -- nm - ceregon Aug 10, 09:41 5

  - I was thinking of binging and purging. I've got the binging down fine, but I don't have the courage to purge. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:22 21
    - don't start that, it's bad news. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:24
    - [deleted]
    - What weight are you? -- nm - Loyola Aug 10, 09:23 15
      - lbs = pounds. So Mop is 236 pounds - ty97 Aug 10, 09:25 2
        
        hmmmm... I like kgs better I think. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 10, 09:26 1
        
        I'm tempted to poll weight in kgs -- nm - ty97 Aug 10, 09:27

        Sure. Maybe he's not so overweight as to warrant f -- nm - Loyola Aug 10, 09:25 6
        
        ollowing extreme weight loss programs. -- nm - Loyola Aug 10, 09:26 5
        
        No one is overweight enough to warrant crash diets. - ty97 Aug 10, 09:26 1
        
        yup. -- nm - Callisto Aug 10, 09:34

        Stones. 16.9 stones. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:27 1
        
        Yeah I go by stones. It's not the worst. Run. -- nm - Loyola Aug 10, 09:28
    - purging is lame. Just use smaller utensils, and pretend to binge. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:23 2
      - Then he'll just feel like a giant with a tiny plate of food. -- nm - pmb Aug 10, 09:24 1
        
        then he can pose for sad-face photos, make a fortune, and use the money to hire Richard Simmons -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:24
- amputate. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:21 1
  - This was going to be my response but it was already taken. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 10, 09:24
loosi: That long, really? Hmm. I thought stuff was closer together out east. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:19 10
- there's also the time it takes to get into flight paths, wait for your airport slot etc -- nm - Roger More Aug 10, 09:21 2
  - waiting on the tarmac can easily take longer than the flight. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:21 1
    - yeah, heaven forbid you ever try and take a flight out of JFK at 5pm. - znufrii Aug 10, 09:24
- it's 450 miles (I think) -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:20 6
  - oooooookay. I did not realize that DC was south of Philly. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:21 5
    - Boston and DC are the far ends of the Metropolis. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:21 4
      - "The Sprawl", as William Gibson dubbed it. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 10, 09:23 2
        
        Northeast Corridor. Megalopolis. -- nm - loosilu Aug 10, 09:24 1
        
        A geography teacher I had said it would come to be known as BosWash. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 10, 09:32
      - Yeah, I see that now. (Thanks, Google.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:21
Iron Man + Dounuts = $$$ -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:19 16
- Footage was AWESOME! Whiplash doesn't look stupid, which eases my mind a LOT. -- nm - TWuG Aug 10, 09:32 1
  - Yeah, I am a little bummed at the way they are fusing/twisting villains, but I have faith. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:39
- Ok, help a brutha...that scene in the donut shop isn't actually in the movie, is it? - Jim Aug 10, 09:20 13
  - Considering the end of the first one, it is entirley possible. Seriously, if I was Iron Man, I would never take the thing off. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:22 8
    - Also...I thought the suit was like pretty heavy and bulky and stuff? - Jim Aug 10, 09:23 7
      - No, it is not heavy. In the book, he typically carried it around in a briefcase. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:24 5
        
        Really? I had no idea. The rest looks real good though. I love Don Cheadle taking over. -- nm - Jim Aug 10, 09:26 1
        
        Different tech, but probably. - Spawn Aug 10, 09:28
        
        Plus, being worn it has all the systems running, so it is practically like walking on air. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:25 2
        
        Now I'm imagining an Iron Man musical number, "walking on sunshine" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 09:26 1
        
        It would feel good. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:26
      - Stop using logic and stuff!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 10, 09:23
  - I'm pretty sure it is. Looks exactly like the Iron Man 1 con footage clip. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 09:21 3
    - Hmmmm...everything else looked great, but that just looked dumb. -- nm - Jim Aug 10, 09:21 2
      - Jackson did seem to be overselling it. i envision Fury as much more serious -- nm - Guy Aug 10, 09:24 1
        
        I did not have sound, but Ultimates Fury has a sense of humor and is a bit easier to swallow than the original. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 09:26
