im not so concerned with giving ScarJo my money, but encouraging her to stick with it -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:33 5
- I would give my money to stick ScarJo -- nm - con_carne Sep 22, 11:36
- I read this as giving ScarJo The Hammer. nm - Jovian Sep 22, 11:33
- oh, that's the missing link: your encouragement. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:33 2
  - we vote with our dollars! -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:34 1
    - she needs no dollars. she will make mediocre, non-selling indulgent records as long as she wants. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:36
Wow, I really hate how Digsby handles Twitter now. -- nm - mara Sep 22, 11:32 1

Hrmm....a clear 0-1 lead on a 7'1 SF avg'ing 31ppg and 8.5rpg. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:32 4
- so you're the guy still playing that. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 11:34 1
  - Yeah. I stopped paying a year or so ago though. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:36
- I recognize numbers. The letters *look* English, but the words and the order... -- nm - TWuG Sep 22, 11:34 1
  - I know it's basketball, and the position.... the 0-1 and computer involvement however have me stumped. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:34
so, do I start willie parker vs the bengals, or jackson against the saints -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:25 33
- [deleted] 32
  - i must have a brain, cause I dont get the no-brainer part. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:26 31
    - [deleted] 23
      - fine fine. if we are talking about the same jackson - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:30 21

        i know what I am typing, your mind may be confusing it for cold pizza. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:33
        
        Jackson may well lose his job...but not until Week 4. Which means he's a definite start in Week 3. -- nm - Jim Sep 22, 11:32
        
        They would be idiots to take all his carries away, the way he's playing. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:31 6
        
        but with lynch back, he will loose quite a few. - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:32 5
        
        Which isn't a concern for Week 3. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:33 4
        
        true true. - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:34 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        were you under the impression that Parker would take his Week 3 start as a vote of confidence from you? -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:35 1
        
        its the bengals. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:36
        
        no, he won't -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:31 10
        
        you really think that when lynch becomes available they arent gonna start him? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:31 9
        
        lots of teams have more than enough use for two featured backs - especially if one has soft hands -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:34
        
        If they bench Jackson after his first 2 games, the coach should be fired on the spot. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:33 1
        
        I didnt say bench, I said lose his starting role. but I agree about parker - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:34
        
        I think it'll be a shared carry situation until one of them emerges as the better RB. - Inigo Sep 22, 11:33 4
        
        you think jackson is gonna take away the job of someone who has had two years of 1000 yds + rushing? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:34 3
        
        Yes. 1,000 yards rushing doesn't really mean much anymore. -- nm - Inigo Sep 22, 11:36
        
        Yes. (nm) - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:35 1
        
        don't get carried away - this is Buffalo we're talking about... -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:36
        
        i think they'll be splitting carries 50/50ish, at least for the first couple weeks. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:32
      - Go Will's Keepers!!!! - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:30
    - i think willie parker has about 5 yards so far this season -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 11:27 6
      - 66 -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:27 5
        
        Start him. He is due. -- nm - 2-0 Sep 22, 11:30
        
        And Jackson had about 162 last week, correct? -- nm - Diva Sep 22, 11:29 3
        
        yes, he was on my bench. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:31 2
        
        if it makes you feel better, i benched Matt Schaub this week in favor of Shaun Hill -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Sep 22, 11:32
        
        if you move him, it might jinx him, -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:32

- "Ghrghr murm zermbuh." "huh?" "GHNGH MURM ZUMBIE!" "He's a zombie! Kill him!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 11:28
- I can't believe he's 37. I would have guessed 30, maybe. -- nm - Danonormal Activity Sep 22, 11:28
- Oddly, it won't take much programming to get his visage into the game. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:26

  - If I hadn't caught it, at least I could have posted to FML. -- nm - Danonormal Activity Sep 22, 11:27 2
    - You still can. It's not like it has to be true. -- nm - mara Sep 22, 11:28 1
      - Posting something not true on the internet? Unheard of! -- nm - Danonormal Activity Sep 22, 11:29

Well, there is at least one perk of getting promoted: window cube in the new building. (View is freakin sweet too.) -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:20 6
- A view into the ladies showers? - groiny Sep 22, 11:22
- way to go -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 11:21
- I can see Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Long Island from here! -- nm - FTox Sep 22, 11:21 2
  - The view is basically this (a few floors lower, and minus the Fisher Price My First Construction Worker, with some Captain in him.) -- (link) - TFox Sep 22, 11:27 [Image]

  - The large majority of us are actually quite reasonable. -- nm - nubby Sep 22, 11:28 8
    - You Lie! -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 11:32
    - Then apparently a large number of you are conscientious objectors when it comes to voting. -- nm - TWuG Sep 22, 11:30 4
      - Yet another argument for cimpulsory voting :) -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 11:32 3
        
        I *loved* the Kim Pulsory cartoon! -- nm - TWuG Sep 22, 11:33 2
        
        just don't google "Kim Pulsory images". -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 11:34 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Other than in the voting box. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:29 1
      - Correct. And in that regard, I can only speak for myself. - nubby Sep 22, 11:32
- So they have to run over the suspects with their cars? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 22, 11:22 1
  - The fact she gets in the reporter's face cracks me up -- nm - MDH Sep 22, 11:22

ODST in hand. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 11:13 5
- i wonder if I should play the campaign solo - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:14 1
  - That's why IGN suggested. Campaign apparently plays out as a murder mystery. -- nm - David Sep 22, 11:17
- I finally get a break -- nm - groiny's pee-pee Sep 22, 11:13 2
  - never. - groiny Sep 22, 11:17

If you were to rate Matt Damon as an actor on a scale of 1 to 10, what would you give him? -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 11:13 29
- 9 -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 22, 11:27
- 8.8++ -- nm - Max Sep 22, 11:25 3
  - i see you're bringing crazy back again today -- nm - shamu Sep 22, 11:25 2
    - He's not perfectly talented, but he delivers exceptional actor-role experiences. I'd say Downey and Depp are better actors. -- nm - Max Sep 22, 11:27 1
      - For me, Downey is an 8, Depp is a 9. -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 11:29
- 7 -- nm - Epiphany Sep 22, 11:22
- 5 -- nm - lileve Sep 22, 11:16 2
  - Agreed. -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 11:20
  - Yeah, after thinking about it I can see moving him up to a 5. - 2-0 Sep 22, 11:17
- Relative to most working actors in the industry, he's a 10. He's the gold standard in his age group. -- nm - David Sep 22, 11:16 6
  - Define his age group, please. -- nm - Max Sep 22, 11:31
  - sigh. I hate agreeing with david. but he is right. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:29
  - Edward Norton. nm - Dignan Sep 22, 11:29
  - I...agree...with...David -- nm - Stephen Sep 22, 11:21 1
    - It's the right thing to do in life. -- nm - David Sep 22, 11:22
  - He might be as good as you and Will say, but I just don't find him that interesting - con_carne Sep 22, 11:17
- 9. He's pretty much been quality in one of the widest ranging filmographies of anyone his age - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:16
- The 8s seem about right. -- nm - TFox Sep 22, 11:16
- 8. -- nm - kelly Sep 22, 11:15

- Matt Damon! -- nm - oblique Sep 22, 11:14 1
  - this is the correct answer -- nm - znufrii Sep 22, 11:30
- 7.5 ... ben affleck gets about a 4.5 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 11:13 1
  - But them together actually causes an averaging effect: 6. -- nm - 2-0 Sep 22, 11:15

Andie's poll made me google to see if anything came of the investigation. Looks like it's a Cold Case with a prime suspect that can't be proven. -- (link) - Danonormal Activity Sep 22, 11:12
Looking forward to Borderlands a whole hell of a lot. And also cant wait for Tropico 3 and Assassin's Creed 2. -- nm - Jovian Sep 22, 11:11 5
- so, after playing assasins creed 1, I can definately say - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:13 4
  - THIS is the assassin's creed. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 22, 11:21 [Image]
  - yea no doubt. But the developers are swearing backwards and forwards that they have really tightened up this iteration - Jovian Sep 22, 11:17 2
    - I hope so. Cuase it was gorgeous to look at and had some nice features to it, but it got boring quickly -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 11:17 1
      - *nods* exactly. -- nm - decline Sep 22, 11:21
That Nic Cage picture *has* to be a joke. It just has to be. -- nm - kelly Sep 22, 11:11 2
- Proof that no matter how much people disliked the last Superman it could have been ever so much worse. -- nm - TWuG Sep 22, 11:32
- I think it's his head photoshopped over an action figure. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 22, 11:12
Andie, that's funny about your ugg boots. They must have stellar wom. -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 11:10

    - Your handle sghould really be "library patrons six months later" -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 11:17 5
      - Wait lists are your friend. Get on early and have it on day one. -- nm - 2-0 Sep 22, 11:18 4
        
        I've done that, but that means I have to look in advance at what books are coming out -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 11:19 2
        
        So? We do it for movies, why not for books? -- nm - 2-0 Sep 22, 11:20 1
        
        Too much work! Lots more books are published than movies hit theatres - Roger More Sep 22, 11:24
        
        the chick who does the ordering for Indy does a good job on getting quantity in. Except for Star Trek books. She sucks at that. -- nm - Remlik Sep 22, 11:19
    - Socialists. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 22, 11:16
- I want my money back, and I haven't even purchased a copy. -- nm - znufrii Sep 22, 11:10
