I finally joined the mobile phone world this weekend. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 09:46 4
- welcome to the '90s! -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 09:50
- can we turn this into a poll? What is a good plan deal these days? 1000 minutes for?? $ 50? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 09:50 1
  - It all depends on your usage. I think the Sprint all in plan (unlimited phone, text, data) for $99 is a good deal, but if you don't use that much - pmb Aug 17, 09:52
- what did you get? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:48
Oh and what was that other dumb trailer in front of D9? I Know What You Did on Sorority Row? -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 09:44 4
- I don't recall that one. (Jennifer's Body?) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:46 3
  - Better title. Megan Fox Nudity. (nm) - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:52
  - oh yeah - looks great! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 09:50
  - That one was there too. I was surprised to see the trailers so horror oriented. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 09:47
NASCAR points quandry: Kyle Busch has 3 wins and out of the Chase now, Mark Martin has 4 wins and is on the bubble -- nm - budice Aug 17, 09:43 1
- Oh well. Should have had less DNF's. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:45
I saw the trailer for Legion on TV on the weekend. Looked like crap. - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:39 1
- Legion looks like "Meet the Constantine" or something. Extremely mixed messages coming from its advertising. - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:43
Lionsgate picks up Kick-Ass -- (link) - Danoslam Aug 17, 09:36 2
- Kick ass! -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 09:37 1
  - word -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:37
That OctoMom show on Fox looks to be the biggest trainwreck in TV history. wouldn't watch it if you paid me and it makes me feel dirty to even watch - Beaker Aug 17, 09:36 4
- I would definitely accept money to watch it. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:43
- It got picked up for US distribution? -- nm - ty97 Aug 17, 09:40 2
  - this one is some 2 hour "behind the scenes" special or some such shit -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 09:41 1
    - ahh. - ty97 Aug 17, 09:41
Michael Jackson's mother expected to launch suit over his estate -- (link) - Beaker Aug 17, 09:33 2
- *envisions an old woman standing by a trebuchet near Neverland, placing a three-piece in it and operating it.* -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 09:41
- I did not even know she was still alive. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:34
[deleted] 33
- the mother recovers faster from a natural birth. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 17, 09:52
- Isn't there supposedly a third option thats safer then a c-section? - lileve Aug 17, 09:50 1
  - abstinence! :) nah, I dunno. Aside from tub births, vaginal and cesaerian are the only two I know of -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:52
- It is the way God intended it, silly. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:35 3
  - Modern science has accomplished a lot, but it will never render the vagina obsolete. - TFox Aug 17, 09:36 2
    - [deleted]
    - They are the doorways to infinity. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:38
- Of course. Much safer, overall. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:34 2
  - The responses in this thread make my midwives cry. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:46 1
    - "I'll have a botox, and a c-section. And super-size my fries." -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:49
- Natural is preferred. Once a woman has a c-section she usually has to have all her future children that way too. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:34 16
  - there's a new trend of VBAC delivery, but it's dangerous -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:37 15
    - Not true. Doctors love C-sections because they get paid more for them. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:45 3
      - They're also easier to schedule and take less time. But there are more risks and some doctors don't like that. -- nm - pmb Aug 17, 09:48 2
        
        There are a lot of good doctors who don't do unnecesary c-sections, but there are a lot more who would rather just dispense with any sort of natural - Subversive Aug 17, 09:50 1
        
        let's just do away with wombs altogether, while we're at it. - znufrii Aug 17, 09:51
    - I've read about that and it is dangerous and most doctors refuse to perform them. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 09:39 1
      - Yes, some out-of-date doctors don't like to do them, but other than that the risks are greatly overstated. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:41
    - That's not true. It's far safer than it used to be, and overall it's no riskier than a cesarean. Depending on why the c-sect was done previously, - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:39 8
      - I've read the opposite. I've heard it's dangerous and not likely to be performed. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:42 7
        
        I really think it depends on the reasons for the first C-section. - kelly Aug 17, 09:47 1
        
        *mwah* I kiss you! - Subversive Aug 17, 09:49
        
        Wherever you got it, it was incorrect. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:42 4
        
        I stand corrected, it appears 90% of women who've had a c-section can have a vbac delivery. - Krusty Aug 17, 09:48
        
        Well, anyway, in the cases where a C-section is actually medically necessary, VBAC would be ill-advised. - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:47 2
        
        Again, not really true. It depends on a lot of factors. - Subversive Aug 17, 09:51
        
        Definitely, sometimes they are certainly medically necessary, no doubt. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:48
- IANAD, but from my understanding yes, natural is generally preferred. - musubi Aug 17, 09:33 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - You are still awake, yes. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 09:42 2
      - This (among other reasons) is why IANAD.(nm) - musubi Aug 17, 09:45 1
        
        Hi everybody! For just one payment of $199, you too can become a doctor, at the Dr. Nick Riviera School of Medicine. -- nm - Dr. Nick Aug 17, 09:47
- safer for the mother, I would assume... -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:32
its gonna be a long day - Guy Aug 17, 09:25 15
- Weekend tub thumping? -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:26 14
  - overshare - Guy Aug 17, 09:27 13
    - wrong - Spawn Aug 17, 09:28 12
      - *giggles* ...until the tent collapses -- nm - 'lia Aug 17, 09:31 11
        
        And best when you don't realize it until you are done. - Spawn Aug 17, 09:34 10
        
        I got to see some chick give a dude a handjob at the Blink 182 concert..... - groiny Aug 17, 09:39 8
        
        At 311 last year, the couple in the row in front of us went full fingerbang for like ten minutes until security broke them up. - TFox Aug 17, 09:42
        
        Lawns are like Vegas. - Spawn Aug 17, 09:40 6
        
        but dude, my 8 year old was there with me...... - groiny Aug 17, 09:41 5
        
        Also, when a girl hears "All The Small Things" and then gets the urge to pull your dick out, that might be a really bad sign. -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 09:47
        
        he's got to learn about it at some point. - znufrii Aug 17, 09:42 3
        
        except it was my daughter........ - groiny Aug 17, 09:48 2
        
        sounds like her chances of ever attending a concert unchaperoned are 0. -- nm - 'lia Aug 17, 09:52
        
        in that case... - znufrii Aug 17, 09:49
        
        duh - 'lia Aug 17, 09:39
Imagine if this guy was your neighbour; -- (link) - Loyola Aug 17, 09:23 1
- That would be awesome. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:25
SQL help needed. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:16 3
- sure - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:37
- you have to program it in SQL, as opposed to taking to Access? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:36 1
  - I actually figured it out...in the MySQL language. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:38
znufrii: consider opera @ the film house -- cheaper tkts, plus... - Old Antarctic Explorer Aug 17, 09:14 21
- would be only a marginal cost savings, and doesn't justify losing the live performance, in my opinion - znufrii Aug 17, 09:16 20
  - i think i'm actually going to get tickets for the HD Live at the Met "Tosca" on Oct 10th. i've wanted to do this for ages, and this reminded me to - Elf Andie Aug 17, 09:20 4
    - Your stint of nudity has raised your znu level! -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:24 2
      - heh. is znu known for public nudity? -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 17, 09:27 1
        
        not for a while now... -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:28
    - Enjoy! -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Aug 17, 09:22
  - Are *all* the operas you listed playing at the Lincoln Center, or are they at other venues as well? -- nm - con_carne Aug 17, 09:18

        Only if you want to... -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:31
      - Wish that was at a closer theater. -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 09:24 5
        
        How was the fringe show? -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:27 4
        
        I really enjoyed it. I'd be interested to hear your take on it if you do get to make it at some point. - TFox Aug 17, 09:29 3
        
        cool. might try and see it this week -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:31 2
        
        Relatedly: they found out yesterday they got picked up by the New Orleans Fringe Festival as well. So they're taking it on the road in Nov. - TFox Aug 17, 09:33 1
        
        sweet! good luck to them. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:33
      - should be a fantastic season. - znufrii Aug 17, 09:23 1
        
        *changes answer on B2* - znufrii Aug 17, 09:27
    - by "live" I meant actually being there at the Met, rather than watching it onscreen. - znufrii Aug 17, 09:19 1
      - You're right: up close and personal; in the house is the... - Old Antarctic Explorer Aug 17, 09:21
Shoul be a interesting day...having new windows installed and trying to keep 3 kitties inside. -- nm - BAD Aug 17, 09:10 3
- Some Ambien crushed into their Meow Mix should do the trick. - musubi Aug 17, 09:11
- wouldn't be a problme for me, as my apartment is on the second floor and both cats are scared sh!tless of the outdoors. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 09:11 1
  - Scaredy cats, if you will. -- nm - Loyola Aug 17, 09:13

Matt Cain, at that point, had thrown only 7 TOTAL pitches outside the strike zone. His control was stellar. - musubi Aug 17, 09:03 9
- Oh, and in case you're wondering, Frenchy has been hitting .350/.409/.525 since drawing his Aug 5th. (nm) - musubi Aug 17, 09:05 2
  - What if he drew August 6th instead? - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:06 1
    - Err, since he drew his first unitentional BB on Aug 5th. (nm) - musubi Aug 17, 09:08
- well, at least he looked distraught at what happened. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:04 5
  - There's no question, Cain didn't mean to hit him. It's bad hoo-doo man. There some effed up curse happening this year. - musubi Aug 17, 09:07 4
    - it is all because you went out and got Sheffield. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 09:13 3
      - guys, guys, stop bickering. Wright is on my fantasy team. that's why it happened -- nm - Guy Aug 17, 09:20 1
        
        You should just quit playing fantasy baseball. - musubi Aug 17, 09:30
      - I'm not saying Sheff is an all-star or anything, but can you imagine that outfield without Sheff? - musubi Aug 17, 09:18
Hmm, I just successfully used vi on the iphone. Insanity. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 17, 09:01
Almost forgot, saw the trailer for Zombieland. This is atop my must see list. - Spawn Aug 17, 08:59 7
- Informant? - no. New Cohen Bros movie? - no. - Epiphany Aug 17, 09:09
- Huge response at D9. - Reagen Aug 17, 09:00 4
  - Yup. I kept expecting CWALK in the Legion trailer. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 09:00 3
    - The Legion trailer lost the audience with (spoils) - HdnAgnda Aug 17, 09:14 1

- huh. this might be the least impressive of the lot. -- (link) - mafic Aug 17, 09:03
- with so many sters having snake phobias, they should remember to never visit this island -- (link) - tRuMaN Aug 17, 09:01 6
  - that second last paragraph is a scene from a horror movie. -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 09:07 4
    - If this was a movie, it'd be the scariest thing ever. The "based on true events" would melt my friggin mind. -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 09:26 3
      - Especially if the snake bit you in the mind. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:28 2
        
        How is that place not easily as big a threat as Al Qaeda? -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 09:30 1
        
        Brazil...would you mind if we conduct some live-fire exercises on this island? - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:39
  - "they possess a powerful fast-acting poison that melts the flesh around their bites." --- nuke it from orbit and then salt the land left behind. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 09:04
I love when I email someone, they reply with a question, I cut and paste the answer form the email I sent, and they thank me for clarifying. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:56 2
- maybe you're just really bad at reading email sarcasm. -- nm - mafic Aug 17, 08:58 1
  - Not in this case. - Spawn Aug 17, 08:59
Total dickhead, BUT totally appropriate response. -- nm - ty97 Aug 17, 08:54 1

And seriously - check out Bandslam (before it disappears) if you're a John Hughes fan. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 17, 08:54 6
- why did you make me watch that trailer? why? what have i ever done to you to deserve that? -- nm - Guy Aug 17, 09:01
- I still have no idea what this movie even is. No ads, no posters, no nothing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 08:57
- this is such an unbelievable revelation to me. all I've seen about this movie is the posters, and I thought exactly what the article linked earlier - mafic Aug 17, 08:57 2
  - I wonder how it would have been done if they sold more of this clip. (Note this clip is edited down from the movie.) -- (link) - Danoslam Aug 17, 09:06 [youtube] 1
    - i just can't warm up to vanessa hudgens. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 17, 09:15

      - Cool, thanks...I'll keep it in mind. - znufrii Aug 17, 08:57
it needed to be done. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 17, 08:50 4
