- I'm not baldy, but there are the softcover books, and there's a 3 volume hardcover set coming out early next year, I think. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:37 2
  - Yeah I saw the softcovers and there are like 12+ of them, right? Think I'll wait to see what the story is on the 3 volume set. Was hoping for a book - HdnAgnda Sep 11, 09:40 1
    - you'd never get it in one book, it's about 4 times as long as Watchmen. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:43
- I'm more than happy to offer a deal if you buy all 9 compilation volumes at the same time -- nm - Rimlick Sep 11, 09:36 2
  - Okay the nick made me laugh. Not the acronym type of laughter that I am opposed to but I did smile and laugh. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 11, 09:42 1

"I know a chap who took his girlfriend of several years to Paris. She was desperate to get married, and he knew it. So he wined and dined her, - Hotkiss Sep 11, 09:25 52
- So I guess I'm the only one who thinks this woman needs to get over herself for getting so worked up over such an ultimately frivolous thing? - con_carne Sep 11, 09:47 3
  - She got all worked up because she thought he would propose but then didn't. - Inigo Sep 11, 09:52 1
    - Yes, it had nothing to do with the location. -- nm - lileve Sep 11, 09:58

- Hey, I wrapped up a Taco Bell sauce packet and gave it to my (eventual) wife when I proposed. - Dr.Vermin Sep 11, 09:39 1
  - I'm assuming you didn't go "Oh, you thought I was proposing? PSYCHE!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:44
- she then went back up to the top of the tower and dropped the ring on his head. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:29
- S/M games in public - nice -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 11, 09:28
- You call that awesome? I call it horrible. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:27 40
  - without knowing any more details, I can see it going both ways. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:32 15
    - Waiting for her to burst into tears? No. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:34 14
      - I wouldn't suggest this approach for everyone. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:35 13
        
        Making a girl cry and then proposing is never right. - Spawn Sep 11, 09:36 11
        
        shows how much you know. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:40 10
        
        I think this exchange might be a good indication of why you are no longer married. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 09:44 8
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        A technically that will soon be remedied. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:49 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        that's precisely what it is. - znufrii Sep 11, 09:54 1
        
        Uh, no. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:59
        
        L5! -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:47
        
        Spawn and I were never married. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:45 1
        
        I never proposed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:46
        
        Okay znu, I will leave it at that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:42
        
        well if it is his 5th or so marriage one could excuse it a bit but else? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 11, 09:36
  - Yeah, proposing is such a big deal. You don't tease people with it. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 09:32
  - I bet they had a good laugh about it afterwards -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 11, 09:29 22
    - i bet when she wants the divorce he won't see it comming -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 11, 09:31 2
      - heh I can see it now. she blindfolds him, leads him into their bedroom where she pulls the blindfold off and he is met by 3 naked, oily women ... - Beaker Sep 11, 09:33 1
        
        "Dear Prudence..." -- nm - BB Sep 11, 09:35
    - oh I bet not - Epiphany Sep 11, 09:30 17
      - Proposing on top of the tower is cliche. This approach is original, and therefore much more special. - con_carne Sep 11, 09:34 4
        
        heh - you know what's creative? completing a mini replica of the tower inside your bedroom and then proposing there in perfect french - Epiphany Sep 11, 09:37 3
        
        Or constantly referring to your penis as the Eiffel tower and constantly telling her to get on her knees so you can propose to her under it. -- nm - pmb Sep 11, 09:39 1
        
        "All that and more next time on Confessions of a Monocle!" -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 09:41
        
        ... in your pants. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:38
      - Well, we all know hotkiss has a lot to learn. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:31 10
        
        He ended up proposing in the end! -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 11, 09:32 9
        
        I'd have said no - and then f*cked his doorman ( my gawd maybe even the 1st non gay Parisan on the tower platform I could find) - Epiphany Sep 11, 09:35 2
        
        "Dammit, this is taking a long time" -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:36 1
        
        LOL! - Epiphany Sep 11, 09:38

        "No. I have been sleeping with your brother." -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:34 2

        [deleted]
        
        she should have said no not now i have a headache -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 11, 09:33
        
        but did she accept? -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 09:33
      - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:30
    - yeah, everyone loves a good mindfvck -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:30

  - you're right, there might be crucial backstory I could be missing -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:32
Whiteout is currently rated lower on Rotten Tomatoes than All About Steve -- nm - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 11, 09:22 13
- [deleted] 12
  - I thought the book was pretty forgettable. Blah, even. -- nm - Callisto Sep 11, 09:24 11
    - Actually, I kind of liked both Whiteout books. -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:26
    - Get off of David's throne of lies! - Remlik Sep 11, 09:25 8
      - I liked that the main character was like a "real girl". Other than that, it was pretty below standard murder mystery fare. -- nm - Callisto Sep 11, 09:30 1
        
        As soon as Remlik announced they had cast Beckinsale, I groaned. -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:31
      - She speaks the truth. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:27 5
        
        Well, that right there is going to cause the throne of lies to shatter into millions of pieces. You just can't do that when you're sitting there. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 09:28
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Heh. Nice. - Spawn Sep 11, 09:30
        
        Well Queen and Country was miles better (except for the artist on the last arc). -- nm - Remlik Sep 11, 09:28 1
        
        Yeah, Q&C was better than Whiteout. I agree with that. -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:30
    - word -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:25
Jeffrey Wells on Jennifer's Body: "empty repellent extremist crap" -- (link) - Cloudy with a Chance of Dano Sep 11, 09:19 10
- The only thing that would get me there is naked MFOX. -- nm - pmb Sep 11, 09:29
- I was a little disappointed in Seyfried for chosing that, but I suppose actors need paychecks or something -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:20
- *still there* -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:20 7
  - Last I read on HSX was that she said she would never do nudity and that the pictures released were not in the film... -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:21 6
    - yeah, that there is a bunch o' BS. Give her a couple of years and when the parts start drying up she'll drop trou just like everyone else -- nm - decline Sep 11, 09:23 1
      - ... it happened to Walter Mathau, it will happen to her! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 11, 09:24
    - [deleted] 3
      - then I was misled -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:22 2
        
        she's sort of nekkid, but has pasties covering the good bits and such -- nm - decline Sep 11, 09:23 1
        
        yeah, here is the original HSX post -- (link) - Beaker Sep 11, 09:24
Supernatural discussion anyone? -- nm - loosilu Sep 11, 09:12 22
- tonight hopefully on here -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:16

    - I bought the AC/DC add on game for Rock Band. Trish and Darcy hated that song, but now that its been used in connection with those guys, they love it -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:17 15
      - Wait, Supernatural sold out and has (semi) current rock songs now? - Spawn Sep 11, 09:26 4
        
        They've really successfully used parts of the AC/DC catalog in their show. - crash davis Sep 11, 09:29 1
        
        Bon and border Bon I am fine with. -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 09:31

        "(semi)" - Spawn Sep 11, 09:28
      - How can you hate that song? - Spawn Sep 11, 09:19 9
        
        believe it or not, the vocals for AC/DC are tough for upper sopranos to sing on Rock Band :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:21 4
        
        have they tried swallowing glass? :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 09:22 3
        
        I suggested some throat burning whiskey -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:22 2
        
        maybe punch them in the throat. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 09:30
        
        Or a ruptured appendix. - Spawn Sep 11, 09:24
        
        Some people just don't like to rock -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 09:21 3
        
        its not the rock, it was just a difficult song for them in the game -- nm - crash davis Sep 11, 09:22 1
        
        Hm. I misread your post. :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 09:23

- I didn't realize Dear Prudence has been going since at least 2001 -- (link) - amoxy Sep 11, 09:14 1
