  - Are you comparing the policies of tax deductions for dependents with a tax break for pets? When I care for my kids, that does two things, relieves - landbeck Aug 18, 13:56 2

    - That ep was on the other day. The camera panned up from his feet to his head. - Trish Aug 18, 14:10
    - Nope (I never was a big X-Files fan) -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 13:38 3
      - Millenium was not X Files. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:39 2
        
        if by "better" you mean "sleep inducing", yes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:43 1
        
        Crazy talk. -- nm - Trish Aug 18, 14:11
- So, WTF is the movie I started watching? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:28 17
  - The intro to the series? - Callisto Aug 18, 13:30 16
    - I am not liking it, so far. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:31 15
      - well worth finishing. -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 13:56
      - You're so weird. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 13:36 12
        
        We watched half of it and I was sure it had been on for at least five hours. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:38 11
        
        I just don't remember a single frame of this movie. I guess I didn't like it... -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 14:00
        
        It's a solid A. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 13:39 9
        
        It had nudity, right out of the gate. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:40 8
        
        You require nudity to have movement then? -- nm - Inigo Aug 18, 13:45 7
        
        No, just saying that they gave us something, right up front.. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:48 6
        
        I was teasing. -- nm - Inigo Aug 18, 13:53
        
        If you go into all new series expecting them to be better than BSG, you might as well never watch tv again. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 13:49 4
        
        Okay, that was an overstatement. But I do expect something to happen. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:51 3
        
        There's like 4 hugely unexpected twists in it, including one in the first 15 minutes. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 18, 13:57 2
        
        The first was nearly obvious. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:58 1

  - So, I was right! -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:29 2
    - No -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 13:30 1
      - Yes! -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:31
- the tarmac melted? -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 13:25
- It didn't rain. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:25
- nobody in the top 10 mad it past first round? -- nm - Max Aug 18, 13:25 2
  - No, but you'd kind of be right if it were opposite day. -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 13:26 1
    - No lower seeds won. Period. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:28

- The guy winning the tourney dropped a rank? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 13:20 1

Guy. Get into politics and become President. -- nm - Loyola Aug 18, 13:17
Amanda Bynes just tweeted that she's sunburnt. How creepy would it be to tweet back to her that I would peel her in two days? -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 13:14 6
- I sort of compromised and went with: "You'll need someone to peel you in a couple of days." -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 13:26
- I bet she gets worse tweets than that. - Callisto Aug 18, 13:20
- You would become the proud owner of 50 Spawn Points. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:16
- go for it -- nm - lileve Aug 18, 13:15 1
  - by posting in a public forum she's asking for it. -- nm - lileve Aug 18, 13:21
- how badly do you want to get blocked? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:15

- You found a deal that undercuts rockbottomgolf. Well done. - TFox Aug 18, 13:50
- I really disliked that most irons sets now are coming without 3I & 4I but with those stupid hybrid clubs. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 13:18
- shame I like my irons, cause I would like a shiny new set otherwise. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 13:14
If you care, Nickelback wannabe Daughtry announced an Arena tour for the fall - MDH Aug 18, 13:11 3
- Why would he want to be shit? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:12 2
  - B/c his music is identical to them, his opener is even Theory of a Deadman! The Nickelback Protege tour -- nm - MDH Aug 18, 13:15
  - because apparently, america loves to buy shit -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 13:13
Sceire: Good point. Air Force. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 18, 13:10 [Backboard] 2
- I was thinking more along the lines of the Coast Guard... - Stephen Aug 18, 13:16 1
  - we donut bash the Coast Guard. They're the only ones around here with a decent cafeteria. - loosilu Aug 18, 13:17
it's probably not worth $90 (plus service charge) to see Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Band in October, right? - Andie Aug 18, 13:08 21
- Gah!!! I'd pay twice that, easy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 18, 14:03
- Is he opening for Dylan? -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 13:54
- the week before scan craigslist for any tickets being offered by individuals (not scamm...I mean scalpers) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 13:48
- banjo? I might. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:13
- I'm sure he's better than Billy Bob, but I'm just not that interested in music in general to pay that much for a performance -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 13:12 11
  - Especially for someone that I would much rather hear telling jokes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:13 10
    - Now, if I read a review of the band's performances and it sounds like it was sort of a song-story combination, then I might consider it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 13:14 9
      - They sort of are, but for that kind of money, I could do without the banjo. - Spawn Aug 18, 13:16 7
        
        But he's *good* with the banjo. It's just not my kind of music. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 13:16 6
        
        If it was just him, I would be there. But if there are other musicians, there is a certain level of expectation for music. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:18
        
        I love banjo. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:17 4
        
        me too. (nm) - Callisto Aug 18, 13:21 3
        
        I think Steve Martin said it's impossible to listen to banjo and keep feeling sad. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:22 2
        
        But what if you're only happy when it rains? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 13:34 1
        
        Or from Deliverance? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:35
      - I've heard recordings of some of his performances and that's what it was. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:15
- A pair of tix: yes. One: no. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 13:09 3
  - yeah, each. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 13:11 2
    - that seems kind of high. - Callisto Aug 18, 13:13 1
      - true, maybe for $60 I'd do it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:14
- I bought his album but I probably wouldn't pay that much. Though I did pay that much to golf at the beach... -- nm - Max Aug 18, 13:09

    - oh my gawd that was funny -- nm - Epiphany Aug 18, 14:08
- *waits for the grade to drop to a C within a few hours* -- nm - kelly Aug 18, 13:07 1
  - that is not all that will drop in a few hours. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 13:11
- but how was the second and third? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 13:07 6
  - I only got 1. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 13:08 5
    - what did you do for lunch? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:16 2
      - Small order of fries. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 13:18 1
        
        you're definitely not well. -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 13:19
    - [deleted] 1
      - shhh, don't mess with my prospects! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 13:10
