While it's on my mind; the crummy actor from Heroes wasn't half bad on Psych last week. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 14:24 8

LIR "contrarian?" I dunno, but I'll tell ya something: I took so long typing up a list of reasons off the top of my head why I like X3 that it got LIR - con_carne Sep 24, 13:52 17
- When X3 was in the theatres, some guy went off his meds and shot someone during a showing. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 24, 14:24

  - Marvel movies are *really* good about this. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 13:58
- Other than the Juggernaut bitch line...these all left me cold. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 24, 13:55 9
  - Juggernaut was the Wade Wilson of the movie. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 13:56 8
    - Yeah.....he seemed to have fun with it. Although I will say, Ryan Reynolds needs a 2nd character. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 13:59 7
      - or a first one -- nm - shamu Sep 24, 14:03 4
        
        It's staggering that even in a thread extolling the virtues of Xmen 3...that you still have the craziest post involved. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 24, 14:04 3
        
        ~Haw-haw!~ -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 14:05
        
        I think he's jealous -- nm - Roger More Sep 24, 14:05 1
        
        He just can't write heroes. - Spawn Sep 24, 14:07
      - I disagree. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:02
      - Green Lantern! - Spawn Sep 24, 14:00
- You listed most of the reasons it sucked, now tell us what was good. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 13:53 2
  - yeah, there's basically nothing in there I liked. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 13:55 1
    - the main thing is that it did no justive to the Dark Phoenix story, but then it took a couple of years to tell in the comics. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 13:56
Loy, yeah until ... - zork Sep 24, 13:49 5
- I've thought for a long time that only global debt cancellation can fully remedy the situation. - Loyola Sep 24, 13:52 4
  - Yeah... erase the debt record - we all go back to zero! -- nm - Tyler Durden Sep 24, 13:58 1
    - Fuck yeah! -- nm - Project Mayhem Sep 24, 13:59
  - That would just encourage people to take on more debt next time, in the belief that they'd be bailed out -- nm - Roger More Sep 24, 13:56 1
    - There are drawbacks to be sure, but that "next time" might not be for 250 years. - Loyola Sep 24, 13:57
Bery - i would TOTALLY make the call for you! :) -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 13:47 43
- We're getting bounced between three people - the owner, who knows nothing about flowers, the temporary shop manager, and the person who will be arrang - Beryllium Sep 24, 13:54 41
  - tell them lavendar will NOT do, and you want white flowers, period. if they can't give you mums, then give you something else. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 13:58 39
    - and show them the email. lie if you have to and say lavendar clashes with the olive green bridesemaid dresses or something. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 13:59
    - They can't, period. They are on the gulf islands, there isn't a ferry that can do that for them. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 13:59 37
      - Loser. - Spawn Sep 24, 14:03
      - they are a florist but they don't have ANY white flowers in stock? i'm skeptical. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:00 35
        
        Pender Island is freaking tiny, and kind of isolated by limited ferries. They get flower shipments once a week. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:03 16
        
        If I were you (and the fiancee agrees) I'd just cancel the flowers completely and demand a refund. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:05 8
        
        where the wedding will be, there is no other source, IIRC. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:07 4
        
        I understand that. I was suggesting to go flowerless at the wedding. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:10 3
        
        what's the bride going to toss? -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:12 2
        
        The florist, into the ocean. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:15 1
        
        waterfront wedding ... this is not out of the question. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:18
        
        they need the rest of the flowers, these ones aren't critical. really, i'd let it slide and not worry, but i wouldn't pay for the lavendar ones. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:06 2
        
        Ah, I misunderstood, I thought the lavender was the entirety of the order. Then yes, I'm with you. - musubi Sep 24, 14:09
        
        Are they all paid for already? -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:08
        
        is the florist on the island? then they have flowers. - Andie Sep 24, 14:04 6
        
        they are on Pender Island. The shop is *tiny*, and it's the only one on the island. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:05 5
        
        i get that, but it's a florist shop right? are you telling me they don't *have flowers* in the shop? -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:06 3
        
        they don't have WHITE flowers, no -- nm - Beryllium Sep 24, 14:18 1
        
        okay, i guess that's *possible*, then just don't sweat it. :) -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:22
        
        Seriously, not offering to make some kind of compensation is *unbelievable*. (nm) - musubi Sep 24, 14:07
        
        well, they have tomorrow to get a special shipment, right? -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:05
        
        So am I. Ask for some other consideration then. -- nm - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:02
        
        if it's not many flowers, maybe a guest coming from the mainland can bring a few bouquets and just make a switch that morning. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:01 1
        
        Steve Austin would run to the mainland and run back in 20 minutes with the right flowers. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:05
        
        (however, if you are missing those flowers, who would know? throw a couple big candles there instead. don't make yourself crazy.) - Andie Sep 24, 14:01 14
        
        (too many posts now)... but don't you dare pay for the wrong ones, you have writing backing you up. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:02 13
        
        plus, a hip replacement was not an emergency surgery. they should have figured all of this out. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 14:04
        
        This is the kind of case they have on People's Court all the time. - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:03 11
        
        and The Equalizer -- nm - shamu Sep 24, 14:04 1
        
        and Bridezillas -- nm - znufrii Sep 24, 14:27
        
        and this is the problem with brides having some image of a perfect wedding. Life happens and there will always be things that are wrong. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:04 8
        
        why should this just be laid on the bride? Bery doesn't seem to happy about this either and from I gather, he's the groom. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:11 5
        
        As I said they should deputize another, maybe irritating relative. - the liioulu with less Sep 24, 14:14
        
        agreed, but in most cases the plans are made to fulfill an image that the bride has been carrying around since before she even met the guy. -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:13 2
        
        But...we're talking about Bery here, not most cases. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:26 1
        
        i was just making an aside, like many people do in threads *shrug* - zork Sep 24, 14:28
        
        to = too. -- nm - Diva Sep 24, 14:12
        
        i could live without them before i'd want the wrong colour. like i said, i wouldn't make myself crazy in this case. -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 14:05 1
        
        yep. but you are the type to roll with the punches and feel good about all the good things -- nm - zork Sep 24, 14:09
  - (As I said, the actual florist that we had been dealing with the entire time has had hip replacement surgery. 3 months bedrest.) - Beryllium Sep 24, 13:56
- if paid by credit card, can he threaten to call the issuer to cancel the payment? But yeah, it's not what's important in the long run. It's the ... - zork Sep 24, 13:53
