Was there much Mad Men talk on the boards yesterday? I had to avoid it. But I watched last night (spoils) - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:34 3
- that black car/white car scene looked awesome in HD. But I had to change the channel once the actual conversation started. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:40
- I liked that they showed - Max Nov 3, 09:37 1
  - Agreed! I picked up on that as well. Chet Huntley. I also liked (and for some reason did not expect) (Spoils) - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:41
SITWAP: My favorite new show of 2009 didn't get picked up, NBC cuts off "Trauma" at 13 episodes -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 09:33 1
- Yeah, was posted last week, IIRC. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:33
One of the things that amuses me on Heroes is the amount of non-Japanese people on the show that speak fluent Japanese. - celedhring Nov 3, 09:27 2
- meanwhile...spoiler - peglegpete Nov 3, 09:29
- mild spoilers on yesterday's ep above. -- nm - celedhring Nov 3, 09:27
10 foot tall statue of Bill Clinton erected in Pristina, Kosovo; -- (link) - Loyola Nov 3, 09:22 5
- ST Poll: WHere will they erect the statue to Bush? -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 09:37 1
  - I think every country on the planet has bushes and shrubberies. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:38
- He has one in Spain, too. Not so big though. -- nm - celedhring Nov 3, 09:35
- Well, if any former President should be erected... - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:24 1
  - "This is Natalya. She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan." - Max Nov 3, 09:33
I wonder if the big NOT READY in this headlines means it shouldn't have been linked? -- (link) - mara Nov 3, 09:21 1
- Is this the Philly paper congratulating the Phillies on back-to-backs? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:22

- OH MY GOD! Hallelujah! -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 09:21 9
  - *high five* - zork Nov 3, 09:23
  - i am about to vote Conservative for the first time in my life, i think. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 09:22 7
    - she's finally turned 30. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:39
    - Congratulations! Now you're officially an adult! - Roger More Nov 3, 09:27 1
      - as long as my MP is Gary Lunn, I won't be voting Conservative, that's for sure. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:34
    - I will never vote Liberal agin. EVER thanks to the NB Liberal party trying to sell NB Power. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:24 3
      - Provincial Liberals here in BC lean moreconservative, really ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Nov 3, 09:32 1

  - it always surprised me that they could get CPP but not EI. Good move. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:25
From B2 re: FlashForward. Admittedly this show is getting tedious. The over/bad acting by Fiennes and Cho is glaring and these end of ep - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:19 11
- I like Cho, I think he's been the best actor on the show. - musubi Nov 3, 09:21
- I'm really disliking the writing and acting lately, but i'm still hooked by the mystery, so for now I'll keep watching it. -- nm - celedhring Nov 3, 09:20 5
  - Word. But I fear that Flash Forward might soon turn into another Heroes - FabioParme Nov 3, 09:24 4
    - In Season 2 we discover that Cho's character didn't have a Flash Forward because he was transported to 1670's Japan. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:28 3
      - Actually, one of the things that worries me is how are they going to make a season 2. Another FF would be a bit cheap. -- nm - celedhring Nov 3, 09:37
      - Oh sweet jeebus. - musubi Nov 3, 09:31
      - Oh, now I got it! - FabioParme Nov 3, 09:30
- [deleted] 3
  - I'm really enjoying it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 09:28
  - I am sticking with it. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:24
  - In a totally different, but parallel way, I liken it to Glee. I acknowledge parts are annoyingly crappy, but I still love it despite the flaws. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 09:23

- Really looking forward to this. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:20
Shipping today: The Room. is this that movie that was so bad it's funny? -- nm - Max Nov 3, 09:15 2
- YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, MAX!!!!!! -- nm - Dano Nov 3, 09:18
- yes -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 09:16
Fans of Glee upset that Yankees didn't take care of business in Game 5 leading to another pre-emption. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:09 6
- I'm now hoping that it goes to a game 7, and Phill wins on a *clearly* blown call by an umpire. - musubi Nov 3, 09:13
- Meh, they likely would have just done a rerun anyway. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 09:12 4
  - True fans watch repeats. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:14
  - fox was showing two new eps on their website (for wednesday) -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:13 2
    - This week's was a scheduled re-run of 2 old episodes, the next new episode is Nov 18th -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 09:13 1
      - yup, the premiere and a fairly recent one. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:14
kmart black friday ad is out. -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:08 11

- Halo 3: ODST for $39.99 -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:11 9
  - oh, and an XBox bundle with ODST for $299.99 -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:12 8
    - Tangent: I have been playing Halo. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:14 7
      - I can't imagine doing FPS with Wii controls, that would be painful. The XBox ones are bad enough, compared to a keyboard/mouse. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:15 5
        
        Resident Evil on Wii is *the* FPS. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:25 4
        
        Is Res Evil 4 considered FPS? Isn't it more third-person? (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 09:27 3
        
        For example, to knife slash you just slash with controller and to aim guns, you aim the controller. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:29 1
        
        I know the controls are first person, but....I may be totally misremembering here....the view is a third person view of "yourself" right? - musubi Nov 3, 09:33
        
        I think you *can* play it third person, but I did not. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:27
      - bah, no -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:15
Kevin Spacey lights up (illegally) in a restaurant in R.I. Waiter keeps asking him to put it out... gets fired. -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 09:07 15
- I imagine it's not the waiter's responsibility to enforce the law, is it? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 09:13 9
  - If the RI law is like the CA law, it's the restaurant's responsibility to not allow patrons to smoke. They can be fined, if they allow it. - musubi Nov 3, 09:17 2
    - [deleted]
    - I agree with this. -- nm - Loyola Nov 3, 09:18
  - Like a bartender who keeps giving a guy drinks after he's drunk, I expect there's some responsibility on the employees to enforce the law. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 09:16
  - the way it works here is that the establishment is responsible for enforcing the rule and is liable for fines if they don't. - znufrii Nov 3, 09:15
  - would be if a cop busted the restaurant for failure to stop spacey -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:15
  - around these parts, the waiter could sue the employer for a hazardous workplace, because of Spacey's cigarette. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:15 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Well, I say "sue", but really, I mean they can file a grievance with WCB ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:37
- Mel and I have visited this resto. It was really good. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 09:09 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Did you like it? (My server looked like Frozone) -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 09:13 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I dig it there. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 09:19
Kristen Kreuk joins the cast of Chuck. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 09:02 25
- *waits patiently for her career to toilet and get her into porn* -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:12 3
  - I thought she had already done porn? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:13 1
    - (well ... I'm sure there's lots of fake stuff, at least) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:13
  - it seemed much closer after her movie debacle. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:12
- there is a disturbance in the force. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:11
- Wow. I just heard trish scream. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:09 1
  - When it comes to Die Lana Die, both are full-throated bellows. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:10

  - Chuck Spoils - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:08 3
    - Not too tough. This is Chuck after all. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 09:10 1

- Don't tell Scotty. -- nm - David Nov 3, 09:05 3
  - The highlight of her career. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:06 2
    - she was grinding up against Matt Damon...of course she was gonna be excited. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 09:21 1
      - More like she had nothing to do other than stand there and look hot. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:21
- My understanding on Chuck was that the budget cuts meant possibly some casting cuts. We don't need you, Kreuk. Make sure Anna Wu's still with us. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 09:05 1
  - my understanding on Leno is that he is sucking, and NBC is getting ready to spend DespairCash -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:10
- Oh, yummy -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 09:03 1
  - such a cutie - zork Nov 3, 09:04
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:02 2
  - werd -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:04 1
    - I hope Sarah kills her quickly and then Tom Welling comes on screen and cries for what seems like 7 seasons. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:05
so the family guy special ep was supposed to air on 11-8-09, but my guide says fox will still be showing football games then. - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:02 2
- "Outlook fuzzy. Try again tomorrow." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:03 1
  - (Microsoft was the original sponsor ... then they pulled out. UVerse might not have updated their listing with the new sponsor.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:03
so glad I didn't go out to change my brakes. It just started raining. -- nm - zork Nov 3, 09:01

Fabio Parme, my LIR answers -- (link) - con_carne Nov 3, 08:59 [Backboard] 7
- Thanks for the tips! And Jorge, I'll be in US from February 6 to February 21 - FabioParme Nov 3, 09:03 6
  - Also, SF is great if you are a foodie. The restaurants there don't mess around. Excellence is sort of expected. -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 09:08 2
    - I'm more of a meat guy, but isn't seafood the specialty in San Francisco? -- nm - FabioParme Nov 3, 09:11 1
      - Seafood is the focus at the piers, but elsewhere, you will be able to find any kind of food you want -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 09:15
  - [deleted]
  - That's kind of like the end of our rainy season in LA, so there's a chance of that. - con_carne Nov 3, 09:06 1
    - I think I can handle the cold, but I'm sure my wife will freeze :) -- nm - FabioParme Nov 3, 09:09
Get in the holiday spirit. -- (link) - Dano Nov 3, 08:58
That makes two boards now that I've been posting after the roll. - !qnsnw Nov 3, 08:57 5
- I can never decide whether to point out those posts or let them die in obscurity - zork Nov 3, 09:03 1
  - It's best to leave them. If people are interested in a discussion, they'll backboard -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 09:07
- welcome to my world. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 08:59 2
  - *looks around* Your world looks a lot like my cubicle. (nm) - !qnsnw Nov 3, 09:01 1

  - regarding your IM... - Jim Nov 3, 09:11 3
    - You are dumb. - Spawn Nov 3, 09:13 2
      - Really? You think the Broncos will be the only team to beat them? - Jim Nov 3, 09:16 1
        
        I just shot Coke out of my nose. New England? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:26
- Saints. Colts have a much harder schedule. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 08:58
