LYC: I ate chicken gizzard at a Korean restaurant last weekend. - con_carne Jan 11, 08:40 6
- To me they've always been a 'cook's treat' kind of thing. Something you cook up and eat while you're preparing the rest of the meal :) - MojaveMeg Jan 11, 08:51 1
  - Makes sense. I like liver, too. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 09:00
- my grandmother always said gizzard was the best part of the bird. for all I know she's right. -- nm - mafic Jan 11, 08:45
- sort of related - I had hamachi kama (collar) at one of my fave sushi places on your recommendation. It was delish. -- nm - Diva Jan 11, 08:44 1
  - So glad you liked it -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 08:46

- I don't see any possible scenario where Basterds wins. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 08:44
- I think UitA wins for the same reason Crash did - it's very of the moment. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:43 3
  - [deleted]
  - Crash winning is my biggest "WHAT? THAT WON?" Oscar moment, ever. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 08:44 1
    - When it beat out Brokeback for the SAG I knew something was brewing in the water. - Diva Jan 11, 08:48
- I hope Ingloruois comes out to win Picture, Director, Screenplay, and supporting actress (for Kruger or Laurent) -- nm - MDH Jan 11, 08:43
- i still need to see Up In The Air. I'm hoping it wows me, because right now my vote would be for Inglourious Basterds. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 08:42 7
  - [deleted]
  - It is all about the IB. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:42 5
    - You are dumb about not wanting to see Avatar. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 08:42 4
      - I almost feel like I should see Avatar again. Looking back at my first viewing I almost feel I was so caught up in the technology and visual - MojaveMeg Jan 11, 08:47
      - seriously. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 08:44
      - I saw Daybreakers yesterday. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:44 1

- Why is "Dwarf Midgets Killer Muay Thai Boxing" a related video? -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:40 1
  - Does it have a keyword "brutal" on it? -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 08:45
- Old school has failed us. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:40
- awesome -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:39
- There are no words. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 08:39 1
  - Hit that hole! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:41

Happy Birthday, Marc Blucas -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:36
I'm pondering an Astro Boy / Fantastic Mr. Fox double feature today at the dollah theatre. Other options inside: - Qale Jan 11, 08:30 8
- Fantastic Mr Fox is the best animated movie of the year -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:35 2
  - There are some Coroline fans just fuming at you now. Probably making Dano voodoo dolls as we speak. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 08:36 1
    - Up is probably only the 3rd best animated movie of the year -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:37
- BTW, have you seen the Astro Boy series from about 5 years ago? Surprisingly good and very purty. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 08:34 1
  - Yeah. It was a nice spit/polish job. I don't have high hopes for the movie since it bombed. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 08:35
- I'd just to the Fantastic Mr Fox part of that double bill. -- nm - LMS Jan 11, 08:33 1
  - You're probably right. I figured a dollah to throw at my anime roots though can't be that bad. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 08:35
- Fantastic Mr. Fox is awesome -- nm - Guigue Jan 11, 08:32
I didn't think nubby's gender was in question. -- nm - ty97 Jan 11, 08:26

The Rock sold out harder than Ice Cube. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 08:19 4
- His only real hit since going actor has been heart-warming family movie. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 08:35
- He needs to just go away on a long vacation -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 08:33
- Disagree. Ice Cube was hard core. The Rock was always just a character played by Dwayne Johnson. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 08:32 1
  - I've said this before, but I want to introduce 1988 Cube to 2008 Cube and watch the earlier one's head explode. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:35
After Dark Horrorfest Trailer (not MPAA rated, but I'd call it red band) - Includes Zombies of Mass Destruction! -- (link) - Dano Jan 11, 08:17
If I wanted to upgrade the RAM in my desktop machine, are there different kinds (like there's two different kinds of video cards)? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 08:15 6
- tons. just go to crucial.com and use their nifty tool. -- nm - decline Jan 11, 08:21
- there are tons of kinds, but you have to get the kind specific to your pc (ie, speed requirements) - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:17
- Many. If it's a name brand, go to Kingston.com and find the part number, then you'll get all the details on the type - oblique Jan 11, 08:16 3
  - Those are different "brands," but are they all the same type of card? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 08:22 2
    - The memory will be something like DDR3 or DDR2 at a certain speed (800, 1200, etc) - oblique Jan 11, 08:24
    - no, there are also many different types. -- nm - decline Jan 11, 08:24
Noticed that Free Agents is on BBC Canada - Anthony Head is so filthy in it. Has it been on for long? - LMS Jan 11, 08:15
In extra time yesterday in the match I didn't understand why Rodgers went for a long throw on his first attack, why didn't he just throw a short pass, - Loyola Jan 11, 08:05 6
- More seriously, it's not a bad play to take a stab at the end zone early if you think you'll catch the other team off guard. - Reagen Jan 11, 08:10 3
  - Exactly. Most defenses are going to expect you to dink and dunk and try to safely move into FG range. - Jim Jan 11, 08:30
  - The guy was wide open. -- nm - pmb Jan 11, 08:12 1
    - yeah, if he hit him there, it was game over man, game over. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 08:13
- Is this how Americans sound when they talk about soccer? :) -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:07 1
  - Heh, yeah I'm getting my revenge in now. -- nm - Loyola Jan 11, 08:08
My 5 yr old son with such a big heart starts asking his mom some big questions. "At what age do I go to heaven?" "Ummm, 99." "How does God take me - HdnAgnda Jan 11, 08:05 2
- nice. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 08:07
- oh my... - znufrii Jan 11, 08:06
someone in our department was fired on Friday. it came as a surprise to the person that was fired, and the news wasn't taken well. as of last night, - prayformojo Jan 11, 08:03 2
- A well-loved local news anchor here was laid off Friday after 14 years. It was shocking and sad. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 11, 08:14
- "I'm here to inform you that your position with this company is no longer available." -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 08:06
Speaking of Eli...I still have no idea if Book of Eli is supposed to be an attempt at quality in January or a dumping ground. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 08:01 11
- Wasn't Taken a January release in the US? -- nm - LMS Jan 11, 08:21
- Mall Cop was a January release. Blockbusters can happen in the early part of a year. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 08:12 3
  - I never said they couldn't. There's the films that are making an honest stab (Taken) and then still several that are trainwrecks being dumped. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 08:25 1
    - I'm saying it's the former. As was already said, it's getting the marketing push, which by definition does not happen to "dumped" releases. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 08:28
  - you did not just say the words Paul Blart in the context of "quality". You just did not. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:16
- i've only read a couple of reviews, and that didnt inspire confidence. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:08
- More than anything, it's lazy show biz thinking that because Denzel's made films work in January before, he can do it again. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:06 3
  - I think it's more a racial thing than a Denzel specifically think. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 08:19 2
    - There's definitely been an "open a black film on MLK" movement the last few years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:21 1
      - "Tyler Perry's The Blackopalypse" -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:22
- it's gotten as large of a pre-release push as any january opener i can remember - prayformojo Jan 11, 08:04
here's a great quote: "I know what's coming. Eighteen's coming." - prayformojo Jan 11, 07:54 5
- If it was Eli, I could make a 'better hide your heart' joke. -- nm - David Jan 11, 07:58 1
  - "Eli is something bad, a darkness." -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 08:01
- sidenote : Why did they replace Ed Reed with a homeless man in the conference? - groiny Jan 11, 07:56 2
  - he always looks like that -- nm - GWAA Jan 11, 07:56 1
    - I swear I gave him a dollar a few weeks back. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:57
ST Poll -- Using other types of dry cereal instead of Rice Krispies to make marhmallow treats: brilliant idea, or sacreligious blashphemy? -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 07:51 13
- Golden Grahams + marshmallows + chocolate = s'more bars - Cuzzin Todd Jan 11, 08:10
- fruity pebbles -- nm - CQ Jan 11, 08:04
- A girlfriend did this with fruity pebbles and it was good but weird. -- nm - ceregon Jan 11, 08:00 1
  - I think that would be too sweet, unless you mixed in regular rice krispies as well... -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 08:04
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:58 1
  - I like the way you think, my friend. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 07:59
- like what? Cocoa Krispies or generic Krispies? Or like Chex Mix? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 11, 07:56 1
  - Cheerios was a fave of mine as a kid. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 07:57
- The key to this is not to use a cereal that is already heavily sweetened like Fruity Pebbles or Cap'n Crunch. The marshmallow covers the sweet need. - HdnAgnda Jan 11, 07:56 1
  - also bearing in mind that using actual pebbles would be easier on the mouth than those cereals. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 07:57
- where is marh anyway? she hasn't posted since the 1st. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 07:53 1
  - i've been wondering that too -- (link) - zork Jan 11, 08:10 [Backboard]
- seen it before with those rainbow colored corn flakes -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 11, 07:52

  - LYC: more info on my deck - oblique Jan 11, 07:54 1
    - Thx for the link. I was a Blue/Green mage from Invasion to Mirrodin (9th edition) - SyrDragon Jan 11, 08:46
Poll for Dano: Am I hot? -- nm - nubby, male Jan 11, 07:46 6
- Step on this conveyor belt. You have 60 seconds to impress me. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 11, 07:51
- send me a headshot -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 07:46 4
  - *comedy of errors ensues* -- nm - Max Jan 11, 07:47
  - today should be ST Hot or Not day -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 11, 07:47 2
    - I don't see how that could possibly go wrong. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 07:47 1
      - I'm too sexy for ST, bn -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:48
Also... - nubby, male Jan 11, 07:45
So...let me get this right...Kurt Warner's QB Rating wasn't perfect? - Will Hunting Jan 11, 07:44 20
- It's the worst stat in sports. -- nm - David Jan 11, 07:48 12
  - I'd maybe go with +/- for hockey, at least for the importance its given. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 07:56 1
    - +124 bitch. -- nm - Bobby Orr si Jan 11, 08:00
  - worse than the artistic expression scores in figure skating? -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 07:50 1
    - I said *sports*. (nm) - David Jan 11, 07:52
  - while I am a big fan of OPS, I think QB rating is similar. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:49
  - It's worse than Holds. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 07:49 6
    - Holds are fine, it is a tangible, easy measurable stat. - groiny Jan 11, 07:51 5
      - It's a dumb stat though. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 07:52 4
        
        unless you are a middle reliever looking to get some contract love. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:53
        
        I think it's a great stat. I think it's a dumb and useless *fantasy* stat. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 07:52 2
        
        I don't get this logic, at all. - musubi Jan 11, 08:26
        
        in a big league, I prefer having it. - groiny Jan 11, 07:53
- um...29/33. That's NOT perfect! -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 07:47 1
  - but it is 'perfect'. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 07:56
- They had to take away the points from the four incompletions to give to Flacco. Only fair. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 07:46
- his yards per attempt was low for the formula. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 07:46
- That seems impossible that he didn't have a 158.3. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 07:46
- he did throw 4 incompletions. - groiny Jan 11, 07:45
- Four incomplete passes = non perfection -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 07:45
so, did any new Halo-ers show up Saturday night? - groiny Jan 11, 07:44 11
- yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 07:51 10
  - ??? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 07:55 9
    - crash, me, remlik, j, crimson (not an ster, but still). -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:10 8
      - but no NEW halo-ers? - groiny Jan 11, 08:12 7
        
        well, remlik. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:14 6
        
        I see you posted a screenshot. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 08:16 5

        I thought I saw a screenshot of a game from Sat night..... - groiny Jan 11, 08:18 3
        
        I was looking at "last played" over the screenshot..... - groiny Jan 11, 08:21 2
        
        oh. its ok, me and remlik actually filed xbox live complaints against 3 guys. - tRuMaN Jan 11, 08:34 1
        
        why? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 08:39
"Here's your car, officers!" -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 07:44 1
