  - 9% legendary. I'm trying to decide where to hunt next - and which trap to try to get next. -- nm - decline Dec 28, 12:27
  - It's the base I use most. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 12:26

    - Ohhh...you just missed catching a mobster mouse! - Krusty Dec 28, 12:30 3
      - Yeah - only the third (maybe 4th) chance I've had I think. Missed it with the strongest physical trap in the game... - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 12:31 2
        
        That sucks. You'll get him eventually. At least you're getting some chances, it's a start. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 12:33 1
        
        Since there's nothing I can do to attract him, I'm not too worried. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 12:37

    - Suuuure... a "coworker." Might as well have said your girlfriend that lives in Niagra Falls. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 12:23 5
      - Jaye Tyler does exist! -- nm - nubby Dec 28, 12:24 4
        
        BTW MH Lord Nubby, have you any advice for someone who will shortly be headed to the dreaded Acolyte Realm? -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 12:27 3
        
        Don't. - nubby Dec 28, 12:28 2
        
        That's why I'm going. Will be crafting the box trap soon, got all the pieces except the blueprint section you buy in Cape Clawed. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 28, 12:30 1
        
        Steel yourself. It sucks worse than Derr. -- nm - nubby Dec 28, 12:31

  - Ally, aka GMAC -- nm - ty97 Dec 28, 12:18 1

Seems like The Blind Side should be considered a dark-horse Oscar contender. - Don Homer Dec 28, 12:05 7

- It could. Pretty poor fare this year. -- nm - Loyola Dec 28, 12:12
- it'll get a Best PIc nom but i think there the nomination itself is the award. Bullock has a better than average shot at Actress though -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 28, 12:06 4
  - I just looked at Awards Daily and it wasn't listed anywhere except for Bullock. (Though duds like Nine are.) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 28, 12:07 3
    - I think the only reason Nine hasn't completely faded out is the Globe noms. - ty97 Dec 28, 12:13 1
      - It's The Weinstein Company. Though I think they are going to get behind Inglourious Basterds now. -- nm - Dano Dec 28, 12:14
    - Nine was considered a dud how long ago ? - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 28, 12:12

- Real money? -- nm - Spawn: *The* Blood Feud Champion Dec 28, 12:03 5
  - He'll get $100 real money for that. -- nm - Dano Dec 28, 12:04 3
    - wow, nice. -- nm - TFox Dec 28, 12:07 2
