    - Speaking of, did we see this? -- (link) - znufrii Dec 22, 06:43
  - Sounds like the problem is with your ability to set priorities, more than anything - Roger More Dec 22, 06:37
- I'm thinking $400 million at least now. Along with the multiple viewings, it's got that "you have to see it in a good theatre" pedigree. -- nm - Inigo Dec 22, 06:32 1
  - Yeah, I basically dragged my wife to the theatre to see it. And now she wants to see it again. -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 06:38

        After watching that stupid vacation-type movie and Sarah Marhsall, I sure see the appeal of Kristen Bell now but FSM sucked -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 06:28 17
        
        Well, at least this takes some pressure off of me. Thank you. -- nm - Inigo Dec 22, 06:33

        I watched the "unrated" version. Was Jason Segel's dick in the normal movie? Didn't need that. But even so, There were a handful of laugh out loud - oblique Dec 22, 06:32 7
        
        yup, his dick even has it's own SAG card. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 06:36 6

        Hey, it's all he's got man -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 06:41 4
        
        you were not complaining when you were playing Sit N Spin. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 06:42 3
        
        So you're saying men turn you on. Got it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 06:43 2

        I've been biting my tongue on your FB post. Don't bring it over here! -- nm - David Dec 22, 06:29 4
        
        What was it then? I wasn't into it at all. I think I laughed more at that stupid vacation movie she was in and 10x more at I Love You, Man -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 06:33 3
        
        I felt that both female leads were spectacular and it was a very realistic film, which isn't surprising since it's at least partially Segal's life. -- nm - David Dec 22, 06:55
        
        I appreciated it more on my second viewing. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 06:38 1
        
        Yeah...the weakest part for me was the musical dream...but the characters were fantastic. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 06:40

Mad Men Fans - anyone buy season 1 &/or 2 yet - and are they good? good extras and stuff? -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:08 3
- I have both but have never watched any of the extras. Show quatlity-wise though both are excellent. - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 22, 06:34 1
  - yeah - that was my feeling too ... I think I'm going to have to buy both for my friend that hasn't ever watched it ... and then just ask him to loan - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:36
- I have both on DVD and have sampled some of the eps with commentary. They are informative and interesting but need more time to watch them. Haven't - HdnAgnda Dec 22, 06:14

  - curry? really? just the garden variety kind or something special? these are probably easy to prepare ahead and do at the last minute too huh? -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:07 13
    - very simple recipe. - znufrii Dec 22, 06:12 12
      - here's the official recipe -- (link) - znufrii Dec 22, 06:15 11
        
        i just added that to my 'recipe box.' -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 06:21 1
        
        it's fun because it's an easy enough recipe that you can play around with the spice mixture to get the flavors you want. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 06:22
        
        ok - question - did you half the scallops so they are shorter or not round? -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:19 8
        
        not round. basically, you want them to be the same height as the bacon, it doesn't really matter what shape they're in - znufrii Dec 22, 06:21 7
        
        OK - thanks - because "halve" can mean either or - and I hate to guess! the cayenne prolly gives a nice kick -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:23 6
        
        a little bit, yeah. though I'm thinking the next time I make I'm going to use sriracha instead, now *there's* a kick... -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 06:24 5
        
        I've never had it ... can it be bought in small quantities - like in a health food store? -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:27 4
        
        most grocery stores around here have it, or you could probably find it in any asian specialty food store. - znufrii Dec 22, 06:29 3
        
        got it ... THANKS! (gotta love ST - where a plan goes awry - ie. me thinking ML had a great recipe by mistake - another ST'r comes to my rescue! ) -- nm - The JenBro Who Stole Christmas Dec 22, 06:38 2
        
        always a pleasure. - znufrii Dec 22, 06:42 1
