Hmm. Maybe this starts to explain the plan. Mariners trading for Boston's Kotchman to solve their dilemma at 1B. -- (link) - TFox Jan 5, 13:55 5
- I don't think you all have a plan so much as "Oh shit, we have 7 guys to play 4 positions. Who will give us anything?!" -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:56 1
  - We had a bad contract for Lowell to deal with. You need a plan to deal with that reality. - TFox Jan 5, 13:59

A testament to how strong Samara's keepers are in Vamps: as it stands today, she'd have to drop Jamaal Charles outright, I think. - TFox Jan 5, 13:44 5
- I easily keep Jamaal Charles over DeSean Jackson. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 13:46 3
  - Let me know if you would trade Charles for anything - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:51
  - DeSean has a promised job that I do not believe Charles has been promised yet. - TFox Jan 5, 13:48 1
    - If KC concentrates on getting a RB to start over Charles, the GM and coach need to go. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 13:55
- Jamaal just won me a championship. - Callisto Jan 5, 13:46

      - (no. ST related joke from backboards.) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 13:52 1
        
        ahhhhh OK. Though it wouldn't really surprise me to find out it was something the show did. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 13:54
- oh, CQ.... ;) - (spoilery maybe, except if anyone looks at google news.) - b. Jan 5, 13:34

- Sharon Stone SVU? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 5, 13:26
Oh wow.. there is a Duplicate Posts Deletion thing now. I just tried to post a link to a youtube video and Reagen had already posted it before. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 5, 13:22 4
- Sometimes it's OK to repost, that's why it gives you the option to force it (i.e., if the original post was a few days old) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:27 3
  - Sometimes the same address will have different content. - psilotum Jan 5, 13:32 1
    - yes, that's another scenario where it totally works (webcomics usually have a static "latest comic" url, too) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:33
  - Yeah, I am just impressed by it. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 5, 13:29

  - not yet. later tonight I believe -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 13:45
  - I'm still in shock that I actually watched some of both shows last night. -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 13:28 15
    - I watched both over a bowl game. I just wish everyone hadn't looked so old. - David Jan 5, 13:31 5
      - I didn't realize the TNA thing was happening until too late. I missed almost all of it. -- nm - pmb Jan 5, 13:54
      - the TNA stuff yeah. I would have been totally happy to see Hogan/Uncle Eric run the show and whatnot...could have done w/out Nasty boys and NWO. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 13:47 3
        
        I meant both. WWE was running a 12-year-old angle, too. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:49 2
        
        It was a 12-year old angle that had not been dealt with prior. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:53 1

        their butters are better than others I've tried. -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 13:56
        
        honestly, I was half-expecting this to actually be Will in disguise. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:33
      - my sistah! *heads over to thebodyshop.com* -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 13:32 3
        
        Oh my. The entire "gift" section is on sale at least 50%. This is a great way to pick up some gifts for next Christmas. -- (link) - Trisha Jan 5, 13:44 1
        
        you may want to check back over the course of the next couple of weeks or so, too. in past years, they've added more items along the way. - b. Jan 5, 13:53
        
        I only saw a twitter note - looks like it's just some of 'em, but still... and I'm going to pretend I didn't see the other things on sale. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 5, 13:37
  - I haven't seen them yet -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:26

znu, but in football, there is still hitting and action going on while running out the clock. - groiny Jan 5, 13:19 3
- Right..you *have* to attempt to move toward a score. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:20 2
  - well, except for the fact that those guys also have to try to move the ball as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 5, 13:23 1
    - Yes. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:24
This might be a common occurence: 4 friends are back from Holiday Break and seeing Avatar in 3-D this weekend, since they didn't want the crowds - MDH Jan 5, 13:17 11
- i can also see people upselling their next viewing. 2D people will want 3D. 3D people want IMAX 3D -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 5, 13:23 4
  - I can of want to downgrade and go back to 2D. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 13:34 2
    - might as well wait for the dvd then. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:35 1
      - As a movie I didn't like it enough for it to warrant a rewatch. Didn't dislike it either. It just was. But I really - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 13:37
  - The only reason we saw it in Digital 3D was because we could not find tickets for Imax 3D -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 13:31
- saw ig prime time this weekend only half full -- nm - zdroid Jan 5, 13:20
- [deleted] 1
  - I think this is people's general understanding, which is great for theaters, but makes me wonder how home video sales will fare -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 13:30
- hold out for IMAX if possible. -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 13:18 1
  - I saw it already in 3-D, this is just a group of friends :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 5, 13:26
- I saw it on saturday. Tried to get tickets to the 7:30 show at 6:30; it was sold out until the 10:30 show. - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:18
I still haven't seen Avatar. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 13:17 3
- I'm only willing to see it on IMAX. We've got 3 theaters in the DC area and they've been sold out whenever I could go. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 13:17 2
  - My local IMAX is only 4.5 hours away. I'll settle for 3d. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 13:19 1

- He looked like the RB he was at Miami. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 13:18 27
  - [deleted] 26
    - I don't think he's even close to being a free agent. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 13:33 1
      - [deleted]
    - Probably, but he'll go somewhere that wants him as the starter. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 13:21 23
      - hmm, KC... -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 5, 13:25 21
        
        When did Slacker Talk become Charles' agent? -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:30 13
        
        I just know that you're going to enjoy having him in Astronauts next year. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 13:36 11

        I expect Peterson comes closest. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 14:00
        
        who is telling Ga. Tech teammates he expects to be traded -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:45 5
        
        Hopefully to Baltimore. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 5, 13:48

        He thinks the team trades him for multiple draft picks in order to upgrade their defense. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:50 2

        My guess is that he's being paranoid, but if he hits the market, every team in football should make an offer. -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:59
        
        I owe it all to Larry Johnson's personality! -- nm - David Jan 5, 13:40
        
        The better question is, where the hell is my 10%? (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:34
        
        KC has a guy who just ran for 1100 yards on under 200 carries. An aging expensive option would be a terrible decision imo -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 13:26
        
        Dammit, I get no love. (nm) - Jamaal Charles Jan 5, 13:26 3
        
        i do like charles, but am I worried about his durability over the long term. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 5, 13:27 2
        
        In the NFL there is no such thing as long term durability for running backs. (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:31 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Diva Jan 5, 13:31
        
        Really? I would think Mr. Charles has earned that right. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 13:26

    - If I hadn't been sandwiched right in the middle of the row, I might have walked out. nm - Dignan Jan 5, 13:18
- i liked it way way more than i expected based on what i read here. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 13:16 12
  - I think more people here liked it than hated. nm - Dignan Jan 5, 13:17 3
    - "Hated" is a strong word. It should be reserved for horrible things like "the flu" or "Dignan." - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:20 2
      - My Shanghai Knights vibe wasn't very far off the mark. nm - Dignan Jan 5, 13:21 1

        I mean the CGI. - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:25
    - which parts? backgrounds? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 13:17 3

  - this is what I'm hoping for, but I want to not build it up in any way, so I can enjoy it more. - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:19 1
    - yeah it is but it uses elements from the books which is nice.... - Remlik Jan 5, 13:20
