- Holds no more water than any other defense, as far as I'm concerned. - TWuG Nov 11, 15:15
- Well, that's a succinct and interesting defense, indeed. Quite agreeable, in fact. - Beryllium Nov 11, 15:11
Those waves in The Day After Tomorrow are getting kind of high... -- nm - David Nov 11, 15:03 4

- did tracy jordan take them out behind the bleachers and get them pregnant? - Beryllium Nov 11, 15:06 2
  - Like 18 hours. Maybe 20. -- nm - David Nov 11, 15:10 1
    - You're just mad because I compared you to an eight year old girl on a BB. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 15:12

- Ooh. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 15:03
Buy.com is having a HD DVD sale on most items starting today. - tRuMaN Nov 11, 15:00 6
- I own 6 of those. Seriously. -- nm - David Nov 11, 15:04 4
  - Only 3. But only 2 are actually worth having. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 15:08 3
    - Top Gun? - psilotum Nov 11, 15:11 2
      - 300 and Potter. I also own Transformers. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 15:12 1
        
        Yeah. I can see Potter, especially if Kiddo gets into them. However, I'd like to get the whole set. -- nm - psilotum Nov 11, 15:14
- We'll give you What Dreams May Come for free... -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 15:01
torchlight demo crashes on my netbook every time I go between areas. - tRuMaN Nov 11, 14:59 1
- Ah-ha. I think I see your problem right here... - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 15:00
Don't know what to make of this yet. HP buys 3Com. -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:58
Speaking of the Daily Show, it's airing on CC HD now. While still 4x3, the picture quality is much better than the SD feed. - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:47

- yeah. he eases up on that for the season 2 quizzes - prayformojo Nov 11, 14:49 3

  - thanks! -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 11, 14:49
  - here's her site. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 11, 14:47 2
    - and i won't e-mail you because you should ignore the above. ;) - - b. Nov 11, 14:49 1
      - that will do though. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 11, 14:51

Time to go home, get some chicken soup, and crawl into bed. -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 14:41 2
- hope you feel better asap! -- nm - b. Nov 11, 14:44
- American Pie with soup? nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 14:42
So, if I get to meet, tackle, or ambush Anthony Daniels tonight at Star Wars In Concert, what should I tell him? - TFox Nov 11, 14:37 20
- ask him where R2 is -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 14:52
- "They're butchering the classics! Could that bassoon be any later." -- nm - David Nov 11, 14:47 7
  - You can't also hate the score of Star Wars. The score is unassailable. -- nm - TFox Nov 11, 14:49 6
    - I'm quoting The Simpsons (obviously). Star Wars' score interests me about as much as a Conway Twitty/Lady GaGa double bill. -- nm - David Nov 11, 14:51 5
      - I learned in a roundabout way from Mad Men that Conway Twitty was almost as big as Elvis at one point. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 14:53 4
        
        Really? -- nm - David Nov 11, 14:58 3
        
        yeah, people thought it was a Richard Bachman/Stephen King situation - Reagen Nov 11, 15:02 2
        
        People thought he was Elvis? -- nm - Callisto Nov 11, 15:12 1
        
        Yeah, apparently some of his songs were mistaken for his. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 15:13
- stop being a dick to fans. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 14:44
- start feeling around his stomach to try and find the wires. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 14:43

  - She liked them small. Yoda and Kenny Baker at the same time... and the Ewoks... EVERYWHERE! I have to shower just thinking about it. -- nm - Anthony Daniels Nov 11, 14:43
  - Yeah, like Daniels hit that. He strikes me as more a solo kinda guy. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:42 1
    - He'll cut you open like a tin can! -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:43
- It will probably be pretty ackward with you being in a storm trooper outfit and all -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 14:40 3
  - If possible, I am wearing the only Star Wars garment more awkward than full stormtrooper armor would be. (nmbDiva) - TFox Nov 11, 14:47 1
    - of course it is. -- nm - Diva Nov 11, 14:54
  - that is one fat stormtrooper! nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 14:41
- sup? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 11, 14:40

Hannity to address Daily Show claims about his protest coverage on his show tonight... -- (link) - znufrii Nov 11, 14:32 12
- The researchers at the Daily Show do an incredible job. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:40
- It'll be the "wrong pictures, but an accurate portrayal of the anger of the citizenry" defense. -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:34 10
  - Which Jon Stewart will skillfully take apart in response... -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 14:36 2
    - Its 'truthy' -- nm - Steve Nov 11, 15:06
    - yup -- nm - Truman Nov 11, 14:37
  - Fake but accurate! -- nm - Dan Rather Nov 11, 14:35 6
    - He used them because it was believable! -- nm - Rush Limbaugh Nov 11, 14:37 5
      - How bout that...Dan Rather and Rush Limbaugh...two peas in a pod... -- nm - Stephen Nov 11, 14:53 4
        
        If only Rush would pay the same price for making a mistake. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 14:54 3
        
        I don't necessarily disagree with you if for no other reason than i'd be happy to never hear his name or anything he says again, however, the - Stephen Nov 11, 14:58 2
        
        well, limbaugh should be held to *a* standard, at least. That would be a start. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 15:02 1
        
        He is: Ratings. -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 15:04

- pixie. -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 14:23 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Nah. Here's my thought. - nubby Nov 11, 14:30 1
      - This is not an absurd post. Why couldn't it be like The Vest Ving or something? -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 11, 14:35
STIS: how can I record and transport a TV show tomorrow night? - marcel Nov 11, 14:22 6
- You're not making this easy. - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:27 5
  - if it were easy I'd know how to do it :-) - marcel Nov 11, 14:35 2
    - Ultimately, you can probably contact the channel and buy a copy. But that will take time. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:42 1
      - or I go and search my cellar for my old VCR :-) thanks for the tips! -- nm - marcel Nov 11, 14:49
  - Do you have access to the show on a service like Amazon VOD or iTunes where you can buy it legit for that one episode? -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 14:28 1
    - probably not -- nm - marcel Nov 11, 14:36

- OK -- nm - JaxSean Nov 11, 14:21
Inflate my stats! I workblogged some Olivier movies because our movies blog is stagnating. -- (link) - mara Nov 11, 14:19 2
- Write a blog about Joy Division/New Order/Factory movies. I can name half-a-dozen in the past decade years alone. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:29
- no Marathon Man??? Or Boys from Brazil? - Remlik Nov 11, 14:27
Guigue, that wasn't Claire in that scene in the pilot. -- nm - mud Nov 11, 14:16
I just got a FB friend request from a former student's mom. -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 14:15 6
- I got one today from the Aussie folk I took to Pippy's wedding... - MojaveMeg Nov 11, 14:45
- Does she have it going on? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 11, 14:16 4
  - She's a little scary. -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 14:22 3
    - did you approve her request? -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 14:28 1
      - Hells no. -- nm - nubby Nov 11, 14:28
    - She's gathering evidence -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 11, 14:27
Remind me, what was the premise of Clash of the Titans? ('Cause I got none of it from the trailer, whatsoever.) - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:14 6
- Medusa, metal owls, a Kraken, and the gods playing with clay. That's about what I remember. - JaxSean Nov 11, 14:22 2
  - and Logan Echol's father. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 14:25
  - and Calibos, the dude who is disfigured by Hera. - groiny Nov 11, 14:24
- No, no. Perseus is a mortal son of Zeus who most notably fights Medusa and the Kraken -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 14:20 1
  - He does so to win the love of Andromeda and save her city -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 14:22
- not sure what the Odyessy was, but it is not Jason and the Argonauts. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 11, 14:20
Wow, over 500 comments on story about atheist billboard just put up in Cincy. - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:13 26
- Atheists aren't against organizing and supporting each other. They're against, well, God. - con_carne Nov 11, 14:38 3
  - I'm not 'against' god, I don't don't think there is one. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 11, 15:12
  - This athiest isn't "against" god. I just don't think there is a god. I -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:40
  - Sigh. This was meant as a response to TWuG. -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 14:39
- Well, one is more clear cut. There's not much to argue about with the kids on the bus. - Dr.Vermin Nov 11, 14:32
- RE: IM: It's no wonder we are so much more protective of our kids as parents - oblique Nov 11, 14:25 2
  - Every day? Hyperbole or are you seeing stories I'm not? - TWuG Nov 11, 14:28 1
    - Past two days *grin* Either way, I understand the reaction though -- nm - oblique Nov 11, 14:29
- I'm really not liking the trend of athiests forming mutual affirmation societies. It feels like a "let's prove we aren't - TWuG Nov 11, 14:24 17
  - Hardly. One problem atheists have with getting there voice heard is there's no organization. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 11, 15:13
  - I guess it depends on how you define "trappings". - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:34 13
    - Maybe it's just me, but I don't need my atheism to be validated by others to feel secure in my beliefs. I don't walk around saying to - TWuG Nov 11, 14:38 11
      - *shrug* - znufrii Nov 11, 14:41 1
        
        "disbelief in God" hardly seems like a "common interest" to build a social gathering around. -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:46
      - This is a pretty dumb thing to say when you live in one of the most religious countries in the world. You've never felt pressured to be religious? -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 14:40 5
        
        Nope. I've had religion forced onto me by outrageously discriminatory laws, though. - TWuG Nov 11, 14:44 4
        
        Is Columbus so different from Cincy? - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:54 1
        
        Yes, Cincy is much more conservative than Columbus. -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:59
        
        and people who aren't as secure as you obviously are should be able to support each other, I think. -- nm - con_carne Nov 11, 14:47 1
        
        I don't think anyone's arguing they should be denied their freedom to assemble. - Dr.Vermin Nov 11, 14:49
      - Well, then don't go to a meeting! :) -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:40
      - Pretty much. OTOH, people who get upset at the notion that there are those that are happy without a God are beyond silly. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 14:39 1
        
        Well, we are risking eternal damnation, so, you know, they're just looking out for us. -- nm - TWuG Nov 11, 14:41
    - agreed. -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 14:37
  - Yup. - Dr.Vermin Nov 11, 14:34
  - agreed -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 14:30

- CREATIVE WRITING! She's gone to grad school in Fairbanks for Creative Writing! - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:24 4
  - She'll definitely have a few months with nothing going on outside to distract her from her writing time. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 11, 14:35 1
    - Except those pesky aliens. -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:38
  - creative writing = crazy status -- nm - Epiphany Nov 11, 14:31

For your viewing pleasure, the original Wonderfalls pilot. -- (link) - Ender Nov 11, 14:11 [youtube] 1
- Thanks! I don't believe this is on the DVD. Bookmarked for later viewing. -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 11, 14:17
Judging from that list of animated movies submitted to the Academy, being good was not a criteria for submission. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Nov 11, 14:11 1
- quality is not a prerequisite for submission, no. - znufrii Nov 11, 14:30
wow, love the Titans trailer. - groiny Nov 11, 14:10
ah thanks guys. -- nm - Remlik Nov 11, 14:08
