  - It bombed? I went to the Vancouver show, it seemed alright. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:50 1
    - They had to lower ticket prices so much that the tour only made 500k/show - MDH Nov 4, 12:53
- Do they have a record out soon or something? nm - Jim Nov 4, 12:48
- Is this the same game where Kurt Cobain sings Bon Jovi? -- nm - lileve Nov 4, 12:42 4
  - It's the same game series. Either these people arent reading their contracts or activision is taking great liberties. -- nm - Witch's Mop on iPhone Nov 4, 12:59
  - Speaking of which, have we seen the band of five Johnny Cashes playing Public Enemy's Bring the Noise? -- (link) - con_carne Nov 4, 12:49 [youtube]

- heh - It's funny cause it's true. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 12:53
This is just a throwaway note at the end of this article, but how is the roster change not a bigger deal? (link) - musubi Nov 4, 12:31 7
- What I heard was MLB allows teams to swap players in the WS only and only if it's due to an injury. Since you can reset your roster between series - Krusty Nov 4, 12:41 6
  - Where is the logic in not allowing injury roster changes in the DS and CS, but it's fine in the WS? - musubi Nov 4, 12:44 2
    - I don't know why they don't allow it, doesn't make much sense. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 12:48
    - you expect logic? in the MLB Playoffs? -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 12:46
  - i feel like this has happened before. like, perhaps with the Sox in 07. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:42 2
    - It's certainly being reported like it's no biggee, but I can't recall it happening before. - musubi Nov 4, 12:45
    - I doubt this is the first time it's happened but I can't remember a specific example. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 12:43

- I haven't seen Caprica, Razor, or The Plan yet. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:41
- Just like Caprica, yes. -- nm - David Nov 4, 12:38 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - Caprica starts slow but builds to something fascinating. The Plan is Cavil's story and it's phenomenal.\ -- nm - David Nov 4, 12:47
    - yeah...it is. -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 12:45 1
      - Not you too. - Spawn Nov 4, 12:50
    - NOOOO!!!! -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 12:40

- that sounds great to me, actually. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 12:30 1
  - oh, I know. - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:30
I am becoming quite a fan of browsing to cnn.com, foxnews.com, and msnbc.com in rapid succession. - TFox Nov 4, 12:29 28
- heh, made me look around. cbs has it at the top. abc is something else.. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 4, 12:51 4
  - That is friggin' HILARIOUS> -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 13:04
  - That's the most god awful news site I've come across. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 12:54 2
    - it really is bad. I just looked at CNN, though; and, aside from the grr inducing story on the left (stoopid Carly), their current focus is - b. Nov 4, 13:00 1
      - awesome. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 13:01
- the IM is pretty funny. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 12:39 1

- "White House distances itself from losses" - not2fast Nov 4, 12:32 20
  - look, lets be honest about this. - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:45
  - you sir, are touting bias like it's Excalibur. Yet you fail to see that what TFox said is exactly true - the white house story is buried under two - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:36 10
    - Look, I am not trying to take a side there, but there are arguements to be made that an improving economy is more interesting to most Americans than - not2fast Nov 4, 12:39 5
      - But, everyone that knows what the Fed rate even is, knew the Fed wasn't going to change it. -- nm - scorpion Nov 4, 12:55
      - you took a side. -- nm - b. Nov 4, 12:42
      - this doesn't need to be this complicated. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:41
      - No, there are not. Americans are equally ignorant of both topics; yet, many of them got off their asses across the nation yesterday to vote. - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:41 1
        
        (oh, wait, I was going to avoid political talk today. damnit!) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:43
    - also, I think msnbc is lame. Mostly because of the 'ms' part, but also because of the 'nbc' part. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:38 3 1
      - /favorited/ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 13:00
      - you know, it's a great point. remember the days when "the real company needs to partner with the *Internet* company for success!" - TFox Nov 4, 12:39 1
        
        It's made even funnier by the fact that MS has never really been an 'internet' company, for all their attempts. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 12:40
  - Yeah TFox....stop mocking MSNBC's liberal man-crush by mis-rep'ing the facts it's buried under a non-story about the Fed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 4, 12:35
  - *hugs you, because you are so cute* -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:34 6
    - Just trying to point out that they are reporting the facts, just a little less prominately. That is not what I would call "burying" it. -- nm - not2fast Nov 4, 12:41 5
      - That's exactly what burying a headline story on an internet homepage is. -- nm - Inigo Nov 4, 12:46 4
        
        The Fed news is actually news. The election is already yesterday's news in Internet terms. -- nm - not2fast Nov 4, 12:53 1
        
        you cannot be serious. it's being discussed all over the place. -- nm - b. Nov 4, 12:57
        
        Where's the dirt? Where's the shovel? Huh Inigo, where?! - musubi Nov 4, 12:49
        
        "We prefer to call it 'de-prioritizing'." -- nm - MSNBC si Nov 4, 12:47
ok, for a super top secret town, how is it that everyone can just wander into eureka? - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:27 7
- my biggest gripe - Beaker Nov 4, 12:29 6
  - my biggest gripe - Spawn Nov 4, 12:37
  - End of season spoil. - Spawn Nov 4, 12:31 3
    - you mean (spoils) - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:33 2
      - Yup. spoil - Spawn Nov 4, 12:35 1
        
        yeah, spoils - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:36
  - yup. though the show suffers a bit - tRuMaN Nov 4, 12:30
Did the NBA switch to more scoring-friendly rims? -- (link) - TFox Nov 4, 12:23
Speaking of Pettite, have we hashed out here whether or not he should get into the Hall of Fame? -- (link) - znufrii Nov 4, 12:22 8
- No chance. He's very good but HOF great. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 12:46
- the steroid stigma certainly won't help. -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 12:30
- 230 wins....only 1 20 win season.....ERA at 3.91...he's a lesser Mike Mussina. - Will Hunting Nov 4, 12:27
- [deleted] 4
  - yup, that's mentioned. - znufrii Nov 4, 12:24 3
    - that's a great point and should be looked at for more HOF eligible pitchers, honestly. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:25 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        L3 -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 12:41
*sigh* SpaceHooker.com is taken. -- nm - David Nov 4, 12:21
/mails Remlik to JaxSean -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 12:20
You know, the movie might end up being good, but every single ad I see for the Fantastic Mr. Fox, I am embarassed for Wes Anderson. - TFox Nov 4, 12:20 7
- Yes. I love Wes but this trailer bothers me on a deep level. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 4, 12:32
- Saw the first ads for it in the last couple days. Animation style just looks awful. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 12:21 3
  - I think the animation is impressive, but like... the Royal Fox Tenenbaums did not need to be made. -- nm - TFox Nov 4, 12:24 2
    - It looks like Rankin & Bass style. Which maybe worked 40 years ago when they made Rudolph, not so much now. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 4, 12:26
    - will have to wait for the inevitable Criterion blu-ray - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 4, 12:25
- Good gravy, he is so overrated. -- nm - Shaun Nov 4, 12:20 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 12:23
I'm more interested in David's recap of V than V itself. (nm) - musubi Nov 4, 12:19 1
- /* Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V */ -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 4, 12:22
