- mel went to this show. he totally enjoyed it. -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 09:30
- "Cartman" - what JaxSean read Oct 15, 09:28 3
  - South Park characters -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:32
  - why does your IM not suprise me? -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:30
  - The band KISS -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:29
- That's bullshit. New band members are fine...but they should have their own makeup. Only Peter Criss is the Catman. - Jim Oct 15, 09:28 6
  - agreed although that fox thing didn't work out, did it? -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:32
  - Wow. That is enough to make me rethink seeing the tour. - Spawn Oct 15, 09:29 3
    - Ace hasn't been in Kiss since 2002, and Criss since 2005. They've done a few tours without them -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:31
    - Apparently Criss was asked but turned it down. Saying he was too old to bang the drums for 2 hours anymore. - Jim Oct 15, 09:31 1
      - I remember that he was "fired" from the band, so I was shocked when I thought he was back with them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:32
  - I'll agree with the Jim -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:28
*takes time machine back to 1978, tells father "These dudes in makeup you don't like me listening to? They're going to be culturally significant."* -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:27
Half of South Park last night was great. Half of it sucked. - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:26 3
- I liked it much better than last week's. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 09:27 2
  - I thought it was pretty weak too. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:31
  - Last week's episode loses points for knocking on Ghost Hunters. No one messes with Jay and Grant!!! -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:28
I'm shocked by the amount of discussion on the radio and such about Captain Lou Albano's death. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 09:26 2
- Dude...Rock and Wrestling is a huge part of what made the WWF mainstream. - Jim Oct 15, 09:27
- It has been a really slow news cycle. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:27
It's more than a little sad that the guy from "Gary, Unmarried" used to be the guy from "Action!" But it cuts both ways... - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:25
the AAM "i want to go shopping" post: What is the newest piece of clothing, footware, accessory that you are currently wearing? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 09:24 9
- Uh... New Balance black socks. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:32
- A new pair of Jordan's I bought last weekend on sale. $40, they were $120. Steal! -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:31
- Kicks that I got in NYC this past August. -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 09:28
- An Izod (I think) polo, beige with black stripes. Got it at Macy's last weekend for a steal. -- nm - con_carne Oct 15, 09:28
- a long sleeve tee I got about 3-4 years ago. heh, good poll -- nm - CQ Oct 15, 09:26 2
  - do you wear a wedding ring? wouldn't that be newer? :) - Andie Oct 15, 09:28 1
    - I lost it on the job. I still have yet to get a new one. -- nm - CQ Oct 15, 09:29
- My Sketchers shoes...wait, no, my new belt. -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 09:26
- mine - i bought a black, knitted cotton, cardigan (with an almost-not-quite ruffley knitted collar) last week. wearing that. - Andie Oct 15, 09:25
LYC: When I was a kid, my parents told me if I didn't eat every last piece of food in my bowl, I'd grow up ugly. I'm still "superstitious" about that. -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:24 4
- I care and that's not true. I was at times by my aunt to eat far more than I could and was punished when I couldn't. She had boys and had no clue... - lileve Oct 15, 09:35
- that's some pretty low-hanging fruit for someone who's mean -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:27
- I am pretty sure I hate your parents. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:26
- [deleted]
I stand by my comments months ago that this would be aboslutely huge. "This Is It" has sold out 1,600 showings already - MDH Oct 15, 09:22 3
- I agree: Asia reuniting would be huge. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:31
- Worldwide quite possibly, but domestically I doubt it plays well beyond the first weekend. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:24
- Huey Lewis and the News! -- nm - CQ Oct 15, 09:23
The kids are out of the house, out of college, on their own, and what do my parents do? - znufrii Oct 15, 09:19 11
- How old are your parents? May I suggest talking to them frankly about buying a 1fl ranch style home so they do not have to climb stairs as they get - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 09:33
- My parents bought a much bigger house than what they had right before my dad retired. - Callisto Oct 15, 09:31
- The economy is still in the crapper. The smart people leave room for family to move in and share the mortgage. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:30
- Open a brothel. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:25
- I know my wife's parents have specifically kept their big house so that there's room for all the kids+grandkids to come visit. - Subversive Oct 15, 09:23 1
  - that's the reason she gave as well. - znufrii Oct 15, 09:27
- nothing like American excess. If they ever leave for the weekend, you should throw a kegger -- nm - CQ Oct 15, 09:22
- parents are funny. my mom was looking at condos a year ago - it's just her in the four bedroom, large yard house we grew up in. - Andie Oct 15, 09:21 1
  - She'll need one of those rooms for crafts. -- nm - Mrs Shu si Oct 15, 09:25
- Maybe they're swingers... -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 09:20 1
  - where do you think he got it from? -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:21
Does anyone know a site I can use to plot points on map around the world? GoogleMaps only plots paths. -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:17 4
- What do you mean? I've used the My Maps feature of Google Maps to plot all our jobsites on a map -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 09:18 3
  - I've never noticed that feature! Dumb me. How do you plot points to an exact address rather than a vague drop of the pin? -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:22 2
    - Just look up an address in Google Maps and click "Save to" and then choose your Map -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 09:24 1
      - great, thanks! -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:28
LYC: both the guys' and girls' songs from "Glee" last week made the Top 40 on the Hot 100 - MDH Oct 15, 09:16 14
- They don't need a TV show. Just make more songs. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:18 2
  - The CD comes out in 3 weeks, and the tour starts in the Spring I believe -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:19 1
    - They should be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Someone should look into that. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:20
- Creed still exists? They're so 2001. -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:18 10
  - I thought the Tea Party singer was leaving to become the singer for Creed. - Subversive Oct 15, 09:22
  - Their reunion tour flopped so bad this summer they literally gave away tickets -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:19
  - I love that Kiss making their highest debut ever doesn't register, but Creed gets the "they're so 2001" treatment. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:19 7
    - Kiss is at least culturally significant. What has Creed done? -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 09:22 1
      - Cultural significance never entered my mind...just the thought that Creed, to you, is dated...but Kiss is not. Just thought it funny. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:23
    - Kiss just played DC, apparently the show was awesome -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:20 4
      - Saw them on Letterman the other night. Even with makeup they just look so old. - Jim Oct 15, 09:20 3
        
        Glad that Criss bounced back from his breast cancer. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:24
        
        Peter Criss is not currently in KISS, and is not touring with them -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 09:23 1
        
        Well then who was the Catman playing the drums on Letterman? -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:23
Repost (with added comment): Microsoft has recovered Sidekick data. - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:15 2
- It all sounds like more of a PR failure. They've probably been working on it since the incident - oblique Oct 15, 09:17 1
  - I like Apple Insider's speculation that it was sabotage so they (MSFT) didn't want to show their cards early. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:21
glee question - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 15, 09:13 11
- spoiler - Deevil Oct 15, 09:18
- Correct. -- nm - Subversive Oct 15, 09:17 9
  - Furthermore (spoiler prediction) - Subversive Oct 15, 09:19 8
    - spoiler question - Deevil Oct 15, 09:22 4
      - And I also hated (spoilers) - oblique Oct 15, 09:25 1
        
        ugh! -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 09:26
      - Yeah, that's why it has to fall apart at some point. (spoiler) - Subversive Oct 15, 09:24 1
        
        This needs to happen sooner than later imo. -- nm - Deevil Oct 15, 09:27
    - ...and then it will all fall apart in the cliffhanger season finale! - oblique Oct 15, 09:19 1
      - Of course! -- nm - Subversive Oct 15, 09:20
    - That's not much of a reach. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:19
Aha to break up -- (link) - LMS Oct 15, 09:12 12
- BTW - I enjoyed Mary, Queen of Shops last night. Thanks for the tip. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 15, 09:20 1
  - I don't watch it myself, but it has it's fans and she knows her stuff. -- nm - LMS Oct 15, 09:26
- You can't have a big comeback announcement until your retire. Just ask Garth Brooks. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:17
- i still really like The Sun Always Shines on TV -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 15, 09:15 3
  - Definitely a better song than Tak On Me (which is good too but not as good). -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 15, 09:23
  - Word. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:16
  - It may be the only pop song I know word-for-word. -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:16
- I like when you post from 1985. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 09:14
- In other surprising news: Aha was still together. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 09:14 3
  - This. -- nm - Subversive Oct 15, 09:21
  - They played out the shopping centre next door a couple of months ago. I figure that was the decider. -- nm - LMS Oct 15, 09:16 1
    - If a band breaks up and nobody cares, does it make a sound? -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:17
Funniest post on B2: "I agree with Mop". -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:11
[deleted] 10
- So, then you have a couple questions to ask yourself. - Subversive Oct 15, 09:11 9
  - [deleted] 6
    - You'd still ahve to pay rent if you sold. Do you have a large amount of equity to cover yourself? -- nm - Subversive Oct 15, 09:17 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        You already bought near the bottom, right? You should be ok. :) - Subversive Oct 15, 09:28 2
        
        It never seems that there's a bottom in NYC, just a plateau... -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 09:31 1

    - I was very shocked to see how much my gf was getting, every other benefit from her firm was crap. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:14
  - here in Canada as long as you pay your own deductions on LTD, it is tax free (don't know if that is so in the US or not) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:12 1
    - My gf had to pay taxes on her LTD. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:12
I had to take Darcy's little rescue puppy to the vet yesterday, extremely sick. It spent the night on IV fluids there and will have to stay. - crash davis Oct 15, 09:09 8
- nice. may it Live Long & Prosper! -- nm - peglegpete Oct 15, 09:29
- Good thoughts! -- nm - lileve Oct 15, 09:18

Got a call from a recruiter about an IT job in Bermuda yesterday. *drool* - Subversive Oct 15, 09:09 7
- I hope something cool comes your way quickly -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 09:23
- I hope you find a good deal soon! -- nm - lileve Oct 15, 09:19 2
  - Yeah, it's all good. I'm not unemployed or anything, so this is just trying to improve the situation. - Subversive Oct 15, 09:19 1
    - Okies. All the best! :) -- nm - lileve Oct 15, 09:36
- Subby Marley! -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 09:12
- yup, great for someone single; no taxes either which ofseets the cost of living a bit -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:09 1
  - Yeah, just a 5% payroll tax. However a 2 bedroom appt or house costs upwards of $3500 a month to rent. Yikes! -- nm - Subversive Oct 15, 09:10
*books a flight to Vegas* -- nm - kelly Oct 15, 09:07 4
- Fredericton to Vegas: $682 (across the country); Fredericton to St John's NF: $675 (puddle jump) - Beaker Oct 15, 09:08
- THat might actually get me to like the Wynn! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 09:07 2
  - I've always wanted to see Garth - I could be convinced to take a vacation... :) -- nm - kelly Oct 15, 09:10 1
    - I need to find out who's playing there at Christmas....PLP?? -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 15, 09:15
So, I wonder how much money FullTiltPoker is putting into its Phil Ivey November 10th promotion. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 09:06 2
- not as much as if people in the US could still gamble online easily... -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:07 1
  - So bitter that the vast hordes of fish went away. - Subversive Oct 15, 09:09
Local News: Local TV stations have gone to war with the National cable providers - Beaker Oct 15, 09:05 5
- I don't want to pay a cable tax! -- nm - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:11
- the cable companies make HUGE profits and don't pay the local stations for content, but God forbid *you* miss a payment -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:07 3
  - So basically the CRTC can make them pay for local content, but then the cable companies will just pass the cost on to consumers, right? That's the... - Mop (233 lbs) Oct 15, 09:23 1
    - this is how I see it -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:26
  - the guy who sang ~United Breaks Guitars~ has a new one backing local TV -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 09:11
more football: 1) denver is still allowing less than 9 points/game; 2) colt hater that i am, 15-1 seems to be the most likely outcome for their season - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 15, 09:04 16
- It won't happen. There are always suprise losses. -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 09:17 1
  - Surprise! -- nm - Inigo Oct 15, 09:25
- I'm not saying we'll win. I'm just saying that Denver will give them a game. This ain't the same Broncos that Peyton has owned throughout his career - Jim Oct 15, 09:11 1
  - Yeah, if Baltimore was here and Denver was there, I would have them flipped in order. - Spawn Oct 15, 09:14
- With Dungy gone, I don't see the ease up. Agreed that Baltimore will be the big game, but I think they we can do it. - Spawn Oct 15, 09:07
- [deleted] 1
  - And a couple others, as well. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:08
- Colts won't go 15-1. - TFox Oct 15, 09:05 8
  - Your jealousy is showing. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:07 7
    - Jealous of the Colts? For what? How light their hands must be without all those rings weighing them down? -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 09:08 6
      - A Manning has never lost a Super Bowl. How about Brady? -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:15 5
        
        You're leaning on Eli pedigree now? That is depressing. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 09:26 1
        
        Well, since my Manning cannot have the pleasure of facing Brady in a Super Bowl, why not? -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:28
        
        But to be fair...that was the one after they stopped cheating. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 09:18 1
        
        Truth. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 09:20
        
        Good thing a Manning hasn't lost one...or else Brady would have an even larger gap in rings won. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 09:17
my office is shaking a LOT from the subway today -- nm - zork Oct 15, 09:04
