  - I questioned Whiplash as a choice for villain. It so works. - TWuG Dec 16, 16:34 1

Elin has hired Sorrell Trope and is filing for divorce in California............Tiger is screwed. -- (link) - CrankYanker Dec 16, 16:20 18
- Oh boy. -- nm - lileve Dec 16, 16:34
- Tiger is screwed? As in, he hasn't totally screwed the pooch on his own? -- nm - OAE Dec 16, 16:24
- If Tiger wants to play hardball back, he can probably charge her with assault. -- nm - Inigo Dec 16, 16:24 13
  - maybe if he had spoken with the cops when it happened, hard to go back now -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 16:31
  - No jury in the world would convict and if you the think the PR he's gotten so far is bad..... (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 16:30 6
    - I don't think e'd need to go to jury. Honestly, his name really can't get any worse than it is now. -- nm - Inigo Dec 16, 16:32 5
      - charging the mother of your children with assault to save a few bucks wouldn't make it worse? -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 16:33 4
        
        and, is hitting an SUV with a golf club, actually assault? -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 16:34 3
        
        Breaking 4 of his teeth with his mobile? Yes. -- nm - Spawn Dec 16, 16:41 1
        
        too late now, with no police report -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 16:42
        
        I don't doubt that it is, but I don't think any prosecutor wants to be a part of that case. (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 16:36
  - we really don't know what happened there. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 16:26 4
    - And it was in a different state. -- nm - the liioulu with tinsel Dec 16, 16:27 3
      - I don't see how that would matter -- nm - adventy97 Dec 16, 16:28 2
        
        She can't be charged in California for what happened in Florida. - the liioulu with tinsel Dec 16, 16:32 1
        
        California is for the divorce proceeding. If Tiger wanted to press charges for assault, that would be in Florida. -- nm - ding dong mara-ly on high Dec 16, 16:33
- Though that house in Sweden was being purchased before all of this I gather. -- nm - the liioulu with tinsel Dec 16, 16:23
- He's familiar with that feeling. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 16:21

  - "And the account appears to be fake." -- nm - nubby Dec 16, 16:17 1
    - heh, that's new since I C*p'ed -- nm - adventy97 Dec 16, 16:18
- yikes. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 16, 16:03
- it says he passed away in the first line -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 16:01 2
  - Though it appears that report is unreliable. -- nm - nubby Dec 16, 16:16
  - it was updated! -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 16:03
- make that he might be dead.... -- nm - Beaker Dec 16, 16:01 3
  - What happens when you update your story without updating the headline. -- nm - the liioulu with tinsel Dec 16, 16:03 2
    - not to mention using a weak-assed euphemism. sheesh. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 16:03 1
      - I mean, it's football, right? Passes are commonplace... -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 16:11
Did you ever have a day that kept a constant smile on your face for no one big reason, but lots of little ones? The fiberglass is down on my deck - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 15:59 7
- I was sending you good thoughts. They are evidently working. - con_Kringle Dec 16, 16:12 1
  - The Murphy in me keeps saying "you know this can't last...right?" :/ -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 16:14
- Heh, nice going. -- nm - Loyola Dec 16, 16:10
- no -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 16, 16:05 1
  - On the other hand, you have a job (jobs?) to be able to take a vacation from ;) -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 16, 16:12
- "Dog pee: destroys what even oceans cannot" -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 16:03
- Waterproof, but not pee proof. hmm...watch out which STers you invite over. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with tinsel Dec 16, 16:02
Yikes. I got a timeout on a development server at work ... almost nothing takes that long. Weird. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:48 3
- stop moonlighting as a server consultant for the East Anglia University Mail server!!!! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 16, 15:56
- Did you have to sit in the corner and think about what you did? -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 15:50 1
  - Well, yes, I have to solve the problem that caused the timeout. Pretty much the same thing. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:51
Bret Hart has signed a WWE Talent Contract. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 15:46 24
- Wait, wha? - pmb Dec 16, 15:51 21
  - Dave Schere of PWI says that they can't 100% confirm it, but that Bret would be around to at least Wrestlemania.... -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 15:56
  - He's going to be around for about 4 months in the new year...he's likely the guest host on Jan 4th - Will Hunting Dec 16, 15:51 19
    - I suspect also a Hall of Fame induction of Owen and Stu and maybe a new dvd. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 15:57 13
      - Makes sense...I think the logical thing is him leading the Hart Foundation against DX, but it's almost too easy and I can't see him working with Shawn - Will Hunting Dec 16, 15:59 12
        
        The whole HBK/'Taker thing puts a crimp in the Hart story, and I don't know if Bret would do it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 16:01 11
        
        it may be Hart vs. Vince with each of them picking people to represent them at WM 26.... - Remlik Dec 16, 16:06
        
        I just read that he may be willing to do one match - eag Dec 16, 16:04 9
        
        I thought he was unable to wrestle anymore for physical reasons. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 16:05 8
        
        that's what he said, due to an aneryusm that popped and caused a stroke. However, Bret has said he'd love to wrestle Angle....and Angle.... - Remlik Dec 16, 16:07 6
        
        Didnt Kurt just renew his contract with TNA? -- nm - eag Dec 16, 16:10 5
        
        now that I don't know. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 16:12 4
        
        Now if they could get the Rock to accept John Cena's WM challenge - eag Dec 16, 16:14 3
        
        boy it'd have to be a for a huge movie for The Rock to do it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 16:25 2
        
        Coming 2011: THE ROCK Obama: The Movie -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 16:26 1
        
        or The Rock 2 by Micheal Bay starring The Rock! -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 16:28
        
        Well he did have a stroke - eag Dec 16, 16:07
    - That's unbelievable. - pmb Dec 16, 15:54 1
      - he said he had. I think the release of his book (which is terrific btw) got a lot of bitterness out of his system.... - Remlik Dec 16, 15:59
    - Hart Dynasty. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 15:53 1
      - And more than likely a feud with DX - eag Dec 16, 15:55
    - Take that TNA:) -- nm - eag Dec 16, 15:52
- Who? -- nm - 75% of WWE's Audience Dec 16, 15:47

- It's a trap! -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 15:36

Hey, I want you to invite me to do something, but I can't be bothered to even think of something to do. Or where, or when. -- nm - Eight Tiny Vermin Dec 16, 15:28 2

- tonight, at 9pm, go outside and write your name in the snow - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:30
Yeah, I'm cooking steak. Did you hear me, people? STEAK! -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 15:22 2

- Steak Diane? -- nm - Gordon Ramsay Dec 16, 15:24

  - (taking the high road there, by the way, 'cause there's gotta be a Tiger Woods joke in there somewhere) -- nm - i'm not Kris Kringle yet ! Dec 16, 15:32
- She's a man now? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 16, 15:26 1
  - ... dawg -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:26
- Now we know why she is smiling in the photo -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 15:25
- We should introduce her to Redmond. -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 16, 15:24 3
  - She'd break him. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 15:29 2
    - Thats giving him alot of credit isnt? - eag Dec 16, 15:32
    - We should introduce her to Redmond. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 15:30

Want to extend your goodwill toward Man? Start here: if you're a moron, stay out of the Post Office. Thanks. -- nm - Eight Tiny Vermin Dec 16, 14:48 12
- Hmm. After work I was at the Post Office and the self check-out at Walmart. - Spawn Dec 16, 14:57 1
  - Rock on. - Eight Tiny Vermin Dec 16, 15:02

  - when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a minature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer - Roger More Dec 16, 14:54

  - I've decided I just can't use those with any kind of produce -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 14:50 4
    - I've decided I just can't use those on moral principles. They're barely a step up from vending machines. - Beryllium Dec 16, 14:53 3
      - (self checkout at the library == awesome, though) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 14:54 2
        
        (I hope I didn't just offend librarians) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 14:56 1
        
        I don't see how. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:13
the thing(s) about The Black List: it started out as an underground thing for assistants and execs to share their favorite unproduced scripts - mr. squiggles Dec 16, 14:41 3
- OK, I was wondering what the point of including ones in production was -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 14:45 1
  - there are certain criteria, one of which it can't actually be in production by a certain date of the year of the list - mr. squiggles Dec 16, 14:47
- We like this Black List version :) -- nm - Dalton Trumbo & Ring Lardner Jr. Dec 16, 14:43
Hot Tub Time Machine trailer -- (link) - Dano Ho Ho Dec 16, 14:31 11
- Though I'm not sold on this movie, I am glad to see Cusack in another non-romcom -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 14:48 3
  - did you not see in the trailer that his whole sub-plot is a rom-com? -- nm - adventy97 Dec 16, 14:55 2
    - That's OK, because there is a remote chance I would see this movie -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 16, 15:03
    - sort of High Fidelity-ish. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 14:56
- Huh. So that's *not* Tara Reid there. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 14:47
- "Must be some kind of... hot tub time machine. *stares at camera*" -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 14:36
- "That just sounds.....exhausting" -- nm - adventy97 Dec 16, 14:34 1
  - loved that. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 16, 14:56
- I noted 2 Greek Cast members in it, but find it hard to believe the one is friends with the all the older guys -- nm - MDH Dec 16, 14:33 2
  - *that's* the hard to believe part? -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 14:38 1

I am really happy with Netflix customer service. Just called to complain about a damaged disc (2nd time I've had to return this movie due to problems) - kelly Dec 16, 14:29 12
- It's not worth watching Spread. -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 16, 15:20
- It seems like whenever we rent anything from anywhere--Hollywood Video, Netflix, etc--they're filthy and won't play. - Jolly St. Trishalaus Dec 16, 14:48
- I liked Spread. I think the reviewers were wrong, especially given the love for Up in the Air. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 14:33 5
  - Did you not like Up in the Air? - kelly Dec 16, 14:39 2
    - I really liked Up in the Air. I think Spread was similar in story, which is what many of the reviews were slamming. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 14:40 1
      - Gotcha. -- nm - kelly Dec 16, 14:41
  - does Ashton's monotone from the trailer get better? - Reagen Dec 16, 14:34 1
    - The voiceover falls away (from what I remember) and he gets more animated. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 14:35
- whenever I get discs from the library, I'm left wondering if people use them to sand their decks. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 14:33 2
  - That happens to me loads of times. Then when I leave them back your man inside the counter thinks I'm running some sort of jihad on his dvds. Last - Loyola Dec 16, 14:39
  - This disc is completely cracked from center to edge. I suppose it's possible it happened in the mail, but I doubt it. - kelly Dec 16, 14:38
- people play the *crap* out of Paul Blart: Mall Cop -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 16, 14:31
