  - On Glee, Will and Finn are faux pas. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 09:24
  - to throw yourself a shower? -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:22 1
    - [deleted]
- Is it really that wrong? I mean I understand it's a faux pas, but...is it really that bad? - musubi Nov 17, 09:18 15
  - Even Hitler wouldn't do that. -- nm - Loyola Nov 17, 09:23
  - You are on a roll today. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:20
  - you never throw a shower for yourself, ever. showers are gift grabs, doing it for yourself is really selfish. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:19 12
    - Is she throwing it herself, or just inviting you herself? - musubi Nov 17, 09:20 7
      - the parents are throwing it for themselves. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:21 5
        
        After thinking a bit...it's still not that bad to me. - musubi Nov 17, 09:23 3
        
        :) - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:24 2
        
        Appreciate that. - musubi Nov 17, 09:25 1
        
        it's basically saying 'buy me stuff.' -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:26
        
        Ahh...in that case...yeah bad form. -- nm - Jim Nov 17, 09:22
      - I'm with moosec*mber. -- nm - Jim Nov 17, 09:21
    - She should have at least bothered to create a fake friend to do it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:20 1
      - yep, she could at least show some fucking effort. -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 09:21
    - [deleted] 1
      - [deleted]
- In other words, "Come to my Bring My Baby Gifts Party." -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:16 5
  - exactly. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:16 4
    - Did it include a list of place she is registered? - Spawn Nov 17, 09:19 3
      - bank account and routings number were printed ont he back, to make it easier just to wire your cash gifts rather than having to write a check... -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 09:20
      - from the evite: Alicia is registered at the following locations: BabiesRUs.com, Target.com, amusetoys.com, potterybarnkids.com, rhbabyandchild.com. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:20 1
        
        (she's actually just across the border, i have a pretty good excuse not to go.) -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:21
- maybe she doesn't have any friends -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 09:16 5
  - she has a sister! who i know better than her. make your sister throw the damn shower. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:17 4
    - You should get her a board game. - Spawn Nov 17, 09:23
    - even so, if the sister was the one to host and ask you, the result would be the same, wouldn't it? -- nm - Max Nov 17, 09:21 1
      - This is what seems like to me. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 09:24
    - I'd be busy that day if I were you. That's all sorts of tacky -- nm - CQ Nov 17, 09:19
Outside of Peyton Manning and comics, is Spawn ever right about *anything*? (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 09:10 2
- Now, what does your subconscious think? -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:15
- Who he chose to be his significant other? - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 09:12
Motley Crue looks back on Dr. Feelgood cd and Home Sweet Home.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 17, 09:08 1
- Somewhat related. I just began reading Chuck Klosterman's Fargo Rock City. I will be finishing this fast. A must for anyone who loved the 80's arena, - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 09:14

LYC: I have the sniffles. -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 09:07
TT Confession: The Mascot on Community gives me the creeps and I have "La Bibliotecha" embedded in my brain now -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 09:03 3
- That's because while it's uneven, when Community gets a hold of one, it's outta the park. - musubi Nov 17, 09:04 2
  - Be sure to let us know if it ever manages to get one, then. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:08 1
    - You didn't see the Halloween ep with Abed as The Dark Knight. Centerfield bleachers right there. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 09:10
there has to be an Up! 3D version coming out too - - lone canadian Jays fan Nov 17, 09:02 3
- Good call. Having seem it in 3D, it would seem even more boring in 2D. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:03 1
  - I liked it better in 2D. -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 09:04
- 3D TVs are 12-18 months away. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 09:03
This seems like it should be recorded as a bizarre Pastafarian rite ... -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 17, 09:00
Canadians - Chapters is offering one free ebook out of their selection of 10 classics... -- (link) - Elf Andie Nov 17, 08:56 8
- point #2 : Chapters? when was the last time you saw a Chapters? -- nm - lone canadian Jays fan Nov 17, 09:04 2
  - On the weekend - there's one up the street from me. But I don't see the point of calling it Chapters - why have two brands that sell the same stuff? -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 09:15 1
    - i was in there on Friday, actually. (the converted theatre on Bloor, i assume?) -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 09:18
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is not a classic ? -- nm - lone canadian Jays fan Nov 17, 09:03
- Not to rain on their parade, but most - if not all - of these classics are available as free ebooks at the Gutenberg Project. -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 09:00
- sorry - out of their selection of 150 free ebooks! -- (link) - Elf Andie Nov 17, 08:58 2
  - Ha! I was just about to snarky post "Only 10 classics? What the hell kind of bookstore is this?" :) -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:59 1
    - *self-deprecatingly* Which is probably 7 more than I have read. :( -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 09:00
Amazon gives me $20 credit for buying MW2, so I buy L4D2, which they then give me a $10 credit. So I just bought Super Mario Wii with another $10 - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:51 3
- You need to take advantage of EB/Gamestop Trade 3 Get 1 Free. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 08:56 1
  - I have an aversion to trading in games. I can't spend $60, then get $5 for it. - JaxSean Nov 17, 09:08
- You can make it up on volume! -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 08:52
ST is shoppertastic: Has anyone scoured the Black Friday ads yet? Any deals for the Up dvd (not blu-ray) that you've seen? - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:47 20
- I haven't looked at any but Target, and didn't scour. I like looking at the actual ads on paper on Thanksgiving. - ty97 Nov 17, 08:58 3
  - Hmm. Thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 09:00 2
    - But that price is only good from 4:00-4:15AM! - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 09:03 1
      - and they have 5 copies. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 09:08
- I'm going to set myself up to be flame-mobbed, but I didn't like most of Up. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:50 8
  - Dude, Pixar went for the jugular in the *first 15 minutes* in Up. That's bad-ass. - musubi Nov 17, 08:56 2
    - Only reason I didn't tear up then was I'd be warned about that part. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:57
    - Yes, and then it blew for the next hour. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:56
  - Outlier! Get him! - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 08:55
  - It had some decent stuff wrapped around 2 gloriously awesome parts. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:54
  - Well, no one has a soul, so that's a given. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:52
  - It is at the lower end of the Pixar scale, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:52
  - You have no soul!!!! nm - Jim Nov 17, 08:51
- I'm debating getting Up + Snow White through Disney Movie Club for $34. Seems like a good enough deal. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:48
- what day *is* black friday? this coming friday? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:48 5
  - Day after Thanksgiving. Next Friday. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:48 4
    - Thanksgiving is next week? Holy crap, Thanksgiving is next week. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 09:01 2
      - Sweet. I know, right? -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 09:02
      - [deleted]
    - yeah, I know that first part, but for me, thanksgiving was last month ... :) thanks for translating, though :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:59
HIMYM was pure gold last night. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 08:45 50
- I watched 5 minutes and then walked away. The last 18 minutes must've been the good part. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 08:47 16
  - You are dumb. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:49 9
    - Oh how embarassing it must be to be of one mind with *Spawn*. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 08:50 8
      - Right is right. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:51 7
        
        And embarassing is still embarassing. Poor Jax. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 08:53 6
        
        I have to make up for agreeing with you previously. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:53 5
        
        Why would you want to balance out being correct? Poor Jax. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 08:55 3
        
        See, I'm always correct. You're wrong and dumb. Poor mububi. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:58 2
        
        Being always correct wouldn't spell my handle incorrectly. - musubi Nov 17, 09:00 1
        
        OK, mububi. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 09:05
        
        *burn* -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:54
  - You are dumb. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:48 5
    - This is most likely true. However, I am also correct. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 08:49 4
      - You are dumb *and* wrong. A sad combination, really. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:50
      - Judging by this thread, no. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:50 2
        
        I'm not even saying it sucked. I'm saying the first 5 minutes didn't suggest it was gonna be worthwhile. - musubi Nov 17, 08:52 1
        
        spoils - Spawn Nov 17, 08:53
- (spoils) - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:46
- Figures; the one I missed was the funny one this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:45 29
  - I think people are being too hard on it this season. Definitely hasn't been at its peak, but it's still better than most comedies on TV.-spoils- - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:48 22
    - It's easily worse than Office, Community, Modern Family, 30 Rock, or Big Bang Theory. Easy. - TFox Nov 17, 08:51 20
      - Big Bang Theory comes in below Two and Half Men. - Spawn Nov 17, 08:55
      - I'm not in on BBT, but I heartily agree with those other 4. At this point, I prefer Parks and Rec. - musubi Nov 17, 08:54 12
        
        I've seen a couple P&R this season and will say it's gotten better. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:58 4
        
        Not much of a choice, really. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:59
        
        It's settled then. You and musubi get Parks & Rec, Spawn and I get HIMYM. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:59 2
        
        "Better" not "one of the best." I only watched it because Bones wasn't on during the Playoffs/World Series. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 09:00 1
        
        Too bad. You're lumped in with musubi now. Enjoy. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 09:06
        
        Parks and Rec? That show makes me yearn for Old School NBC Thursday 8;30 shows like Breckin's Meyers disaster. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:56 4
        
        The last 2 or 3 eps have actually been good. The one where Megan Mullaly guested was hilarious. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 09:02 3
        
        the halloween one was great -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 09:03 2
        
        Dammit, I accidentally deleted that one from the Tivo before watching it. I'll have to Hulu it. (nm) - musubi Nov 17, 09:07 1
        
        Trust your subconscious. It may make you slightly less dumb. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 09:14
        
        /me laughs and points -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:55
        
        Once you've dug a hole, you just like to keep digging, don't you? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:55
      - 30 Rock I'll give, and loving Modern Family. Office has taken a huge quality dive this season though. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:53
      - So I take it Community has gotten much better since the move to 8pm? - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:53 4
        
        Community has only had one bad ep. The one where he loses his condo. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:55 3
        
        C'mon.....the one with the protest early on was atrocious. I didn't even finish it. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:56 2
        
        I'll grant you the shows have been uneven, but Abed is easily the best new character on TV this year. He's hilarious. - musubi Nov 17, 09:04 1
        
        He's the bright spot, that's for sure. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 09:07
    - Agreed -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:49
  - I missed the last two weeks but figured out what happened last week (spoiler) - amoxy Nov 17, 08:47 5
    - Spoils - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:49 2
      - The "point" of the show is a red herring that doesn't matter and will never happen, until the series finale. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:52
      - Agreed...(spoils) - amoxy Nov 17, 08:51
    - spoil - Spawn Nov 17, 08:48
    - (spoils) - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:48
- As I said last week, now we can back to what makes the show great. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:45
- i will be watching this this afternoon. (just saw last week's last night.) -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 08:45
OK, tell me this. What's the point of a sex tape? - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 08:36 8
- Because it is fun. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:45
- "We can film our love." -- nm - Keanu Reeves in Parenthood Nov 17, 08:45
- You've never watched a porno and thought it might be fun to make your own? - con_carne Nov 17, 08:38
- People just *do* things sometimes. -- nm - Shaun Nov 17, 08:38 1
  - We might never know why -- nm - Mark Wahlberg si Nov 17, 08:38
- what about exhibitionists who don't want to distribute the tape? - TFox Nov 17, 08:37
- Makes the sex seem dirtier. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:37
- Because it's different and new -- nm - Guigue Nov 17, 08:36
Proud admission. I never saw PotC 2 & 3. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:36 17
- I could not even remember what this abbreviation was for. I never saw 3. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:47
- I haven't seen them either, but not because I didn't want to. - musubi Nov 17, 08:47
- See 2. Although, if ever there was a movie that is made better by seeing it in a theater... -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 08:46
- They fall under the Matrix 2/3 combo for me. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 08:43 1
  - Yes I liked most of M2 it was worth the beginning and the end. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:46
- I like 2. Only one of them I enjoyed actually. Loathed 3. It was awful. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 08:43 5
  - I liked 2 ok...but 3 was so bad it made 2 less enjoyable for me. -- nm - Jim Nov 17, 08:43 4
    - I have blotted both of them out of my mind...I disliked both 2 and 3 - amoxy Nov 17, 08:46 1
      - Yeah, 2 was bad enough that we just skipped 3. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 08:49
    - i didn't even love the first one and i thought 2 was terrible. i never even bothered with 3. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 17, 08:45 1
      - I said at the time that 2 would either be brilliant or bad...and that depended on how good 3 was. And it sucked ass. -- nm - Jim Nov 17, 08:48
- [deleted] 2
  - Yeah that's what I heard about them. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:45
  - yep. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:43
- I've invented a new abbreviation for ST. "PoP" - "Point of Pride". -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Nov 17, 08:36 2
  - Hop On PoP -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:47 1
