      - I'm about 80% done with The Saboteur and am considering this for my next game. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 07:36 1

      - I just remember it and a nice butt shot. And she was a lot younger *grin* -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:34 2
        
        And, well, Dead Calm was a better movie -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:35 1
        
        i think i'm the only person who didn't like Dead Calm. - Andie Jan 6, 07:50
      - or Billy Bathgqte -- nm - Redmond Jan 6, 07:33 1
        
        Billy Bathgate -- nm - Redmond Jan 6, 07:33
    - Kidman with natural hair and before all the botox. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 07:31 4
      - and before Tom Cruise... -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:37 3
        
        the story was that Cruise saw the movie, had a crush on her, and hired her for Days of Thunder. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 07:38 2
        
        Also a very fun movie to watch. And lies, he was trying to use her to get to Zane -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:40 1

  - Get it! It's worth it for God of War 2 alone in HD. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 07:28
Dano, Beaker, Will Hunting! We lost. In fact, over 5 games of keno, only one number came in. 69. So, Beaker, you can now gloat -- nm - CQ Jan 6, 07:16 1

LYC: This summer blockbuster tour is currently in the planning stages: Co-Headline The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac - MDH Jan 6, 07:10 17
- Saw them both about a year or so ago. Both very good. The Eagles actually played for almost 3 hours. And I've seen Fleetwood Mac twice and both - pmb Jan 6, 07:35
- wow nice - hope they come to Dallas -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:23
- I'd go see that, but concerts out at Gillette Stadium are a hazard to my health. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 07:19 8
  - Apparently baseball stadiums, or multiple nights in arenas -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 07:22 7
    - I have yet to go to a baseball stadium show (other than when REO Speedwagon played after a Pirates game with fireworks once). I think it'd be cool. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:24 6
      - The concerts at Fenway never sell out fo some reason. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 07:25 5
        
        The ones at Wrigley Field are really an "Event". It's a great experience to see a show there (as long as you spend the money to be on the field). -- nm - pmb Jan 6, 07:36
        
        really? I thought for sure the DMB and Phish ones did. And McCartney must have too, right? -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:28 2
        
        The mcCartney shows did not sell out and DMB hasn't sold out in the last couple of years. Don't know about Phish. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 07:38 1
        
        huh. that's surprising. ticket prices? probably. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:50
        
        fo = for -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 07:26
- is it 1980 again? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 6, 07:14 2
  - Considering these were 2 of the year's top 10 biggest tours, the potential for this is HUGE -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 07:17 1
    - Agreed. I would like to run over to Vegas and see what a Garth Brooks vegas show is like - always a good concert -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:29
- What will the Fleetwood Mac lineup be? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 07:10 2
  - Nicks, Buckingham, McVie, and Fleetwood -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 07:17
  - mummies -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:15
Last night, I sorted my iTunes library by year of release and then stocked my iPod with anything from 2009 I may have overlooked or not given its due. - TFox Jan 6, 07:08 2
- I should do that. -- nm - Callisto Jan 6, 07:16 1
  - It reminded me to check out the new Sonic Youth, which I got for review but never got around to. It's a solid album. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 07:19
Who's this Jimmy guy trying to move in on my turf? Am I gonna hafta shiv a bitch? -- nm - Dano Jan 6, 07:07
LA Times: "Boy, now he's in real trouble; Obama administration revokes U.S. visa of accused Nigerian bomber" -- (link) - Ender Jan 6, 07:00 2
- Gee, LAT, snarky much? He is, after all, in custody and not likely to get bail, so this visa thing is more a formality than anything. - TWuG Jan 6, 07:05
- He might still be able to show up at a WH state affair. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 6, 07:02
For some reason I can't help thinking of the South Park movie when reading today's xkcd... -- (link) - znufrii Jan 6, 06:57
"Video games were created by Satan" -- (link) - Shaun Jan 6, 06:55 1
- This is a hysterical article "I would be the fun mom, the one who made popsicles" -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:58
I love living in the South when there's a threat of snow - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:49 7
- Hi there! - con_carne Jan 6, 07:45
- Burn more fossil fuels!!! -- nm - Redmond Jan 6, 07:02
- I legitimately need to go to the grocery store today, dammit. - Callisto Jan 6, 06:57 2
  - Isn't that the way it always happens? And for me, I always just need 1 thing. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 06:58 1
    - Yes, and what's better is the fact that we almost *never* get the snow that is forecast. - Callisto Jan 6, 07:01
- I picked up 3 loaves and 2 gallons. And I don't eat bread or drink milk. But that's what we're supposed to do, right? How could I live for 3 days - Banzai! Jan 6, 06:57 1
  - throw in some bourbon and some dark chocolate, voila! bread pudding.... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 06:58
The house next door to me is vacant. Apparently the owners (kids of the former neighbor) set the thermostat too low. - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:40 3
- maybe it's a hydroponic grow-op. apprently excessive ice from the ventilation units is one way cops use to find them. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 07:09
- Pics of the results -- (link) - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:52 [flickr] 1
  - wow that is so not good -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 6, 06:54
Study finds that a spanked child may be a better adult....(link) - Walt_Disney Jan 6, 06:35 14
- i was spanked on the butt with a wooden spoon but only a couple of times per year or so and just hard enough to get my attention. i think it was good -- nm - zork Jan 6, 07:45 2
  - was it on a schedule? heh -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 07:46 1
    - I wondered if anyone would make this comment. -- nm - zork Jan 6, 07:47
- parents had a wooden picnic basket slat they used. Was more noise than pain but worked. -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 07:26
- I was spanked a bit...and usually deserved it...I turned out all right. -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:15
- Ah yes...we've employed the wooden spoon ourselves...a couple times. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 06:50
- fwiw, I'm glad that spanking isn't a parenting norm anymore and that people don't reach for it too early in their parental toolkit... - TFox Jan 6, 06:46 3
  - There's a whole generatation of children that could have used more spanks when they were four or five. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 6, 07:39
  - Agreed. I think the concept of paying the consequences for your actions is an important lesson during childhood. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:49 1
    - The worst I would get is the "sit in your room and don't do anything" I'd go crazy of boredom - MDH Jan 6, 06:52
- I got the hand and the spoon, but I can't say I'm any better off for it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 06:40 1
  - and that was just last night from your woman -- nm - Beaker Jan 6, 07:10
- I was spanked, but never got the spoon haha. -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:40
- Yes, the wooden spoon and I were well-aquainted in my childhood. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 6, 06:37

- Watch out Ohio State! Next year Rich Rod's spread offense will feature a new herbed crust!!! -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 06:46 1
  - *slithers* -- nm - Rich Rod Jan 6, 06:53
LYC: My new dress shoes definitely fit in the store, and are not fitting now. - MDH Jan 6, 06:31 2
- give them a little time to break in. I've found that all good dress shoes I've owned have needed a bit of time to stretch. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 06:36
- wear thinner socks! -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 06:32
Watched Star Trek last night. It was alright, but don't get the love for it by some. This is a dark-horse Oscar contender - really?? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 06:23 12
- It's very good, not great. Much better than the past 3-4 Star Trek movies -- nm - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:48
- I liked it, but not nearly as much as most people. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 06:37
- It says a lot about this year's movies that a well-done, well-rounded action movie could be in the discussion for a nomination. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 06:32 4
  - Yeah, of all the years to have 10 nominations -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:34 3
    - Conversely, if Up doesn't get a nomination; Pixar should just save money on any For Your Considerations in the future. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 6, 06:35 2
      - Agreed. Side note, their ad this year is heartbreaking too. -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:39 1
        
        I miss my Daily Variety subscription just because of this issue. I loved getting the For Your Consideration issue. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 06:53
- Yes. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 06:31
- it's a solid piece of filmmaking, and perhaps a better-than-expected reboot of the franchise. - znufrii Jan 6, 06:27 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - *nodding* -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 06:41
  - znufrii is right. - mafic Jan 6, 06:30
so, because i won and we have only super-basic cable, we couldn't watch the US-Canada hockey game at home last night - Andie Jan 6, 06:17 15
- We sucked ass last night. Our goalies were rotten this year. It was like having Toskala in nets. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 06:36
- That's the one downside to my new neighborhood. Very few bars close by. - znufrii Jan 6, 06:29 3
  - me too. this is about a 10 minute walk, so glad we found it! -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 06:31 2
    - I miss my old apartment on the other end of the neighborhood. 4 awesome bars withing a 5-block radius. -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 06:34 1
      - Having just started living in the city, I'm loving how close I am to bars haha -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 06:40
- dano's and my non-date bar is awesome. I almost love atlanta because of it. - amanda Jan 6, 06:25 5
  - OMG this is so AAM. I'm so sorry. bars you don't expect to find, especially walking distance bars *slay.* - amanda Jan 6, 06:26 4
    - please stop apologizing for your posts -- nm - zork Jan 6, 07:35 1
      - but don't stop posting to avoid doing it! -- nm - zork Jan 6, 07:36
    - I feel like poop for AAMing. today I shall be... -- nm - all about andrea Jan 6, 06:26 1
      - ha! my post wasn't exactly important, totally high-jackable. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 06:27
- Walk? Isn't it cold? - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:21 3
  - that's where 'hats and scarves' come in. (it wasn't too bad last night, just a few degrees below freezing, colder today.) -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 06:22 1
    - I believe I dont even own a hat or scarf :P And I agree with Andie...it was not too cold for a walk of a couple blocks. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 6, 06:24
  - [deleted]
