  - We do replace our registration stickers though. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 11:34 4
    - is that based on calendar year? hear you have to do it on your birthday, and you get a sticker that shows the expiry date. -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 11:35 3

  - [deleted] 10
    - He did...he called them before he released his statement. nm - Jim Jan 12, 11:38 9

        NOT ENOUGH CONTRITION! - David Jan 12, 11:43
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Yet he claims he did nothing wrong. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 11:41 2
        
        No he didn't. He acknowledged it was wrong. He just said he didn't think it had that much to do with his performance... - Jim Jan 12, 11:43
        
        [deleted]
  - Not to mention the fact... that any fan in the 1990s that had any clue... all knew about it. *wink*nudge* - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:36 1
    - I'm surprised there aren't people out there asking him to give the Cardinals and A's their money back for those seasons. -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 11:37
If I had the money I'd buy a 288 GTO and put a modern interior and suspension into it. -- nm - Max Jan 12, 11:27 8

    - vans have beds in the back, capish -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 11:37

Dammit. The Hurt Locker, Moon, and Funny People were at the top of my Netflix queue. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:26 19
- I was thrilled that Blockbuster had Hurt Locker this morning. -- nm - David Jan 12, 11:29 9
  - You... still use Blockbuster?? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:29 8
    - When you want to see a movie right now...Blockbuster is the best bet. -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 11:39 1
      - I have the best luck with Redbox here. -- nm - David Jan 12, 11:42

        (foolscreen VHS) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:31 1
        
        I hear they may get some of that newfangled Pan and Scan! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 11:32
- I liked Funny People. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 11:29 8
  - I liked it too, but it would have been stronger if it hadn't overplayed the storyline with Leslie Mann. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:31
  - I liked it until... - Remlik Jan 12, 11:30 5
    - that's where it really comes together, IMO. - Reagen Jan 12, 11:32 3
      - seriously? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:33 2
        
        seriously. I get why it throws people for a swerve, but I think people are misreading the start of the film. - Reagen Jan 12, 11:36 1
        
        I agree with your IM, I just think it fell apart a little once the house stuff went on too long. It wasn't necessary imo. - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:39
    - *ding* -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 11:31
  - I'm sure I'll like it, but I wanted one of the other two much more. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:29

- and "il Tempo Gigante" for that matter - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:26 1
  - no wait, the show was called My Mother the Car (earl the car was a TT poster, honk honk) -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 12, 11:31
sitwap: new Fringe last night killed Heroes, and BBT, HIMYM, and Chuck did very well. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:22 1
- Dear NBC, I know you have 5 hours of open air to fill in the coming weeks. Please make it 6 and kill Heroes. Thanks much. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 11:23
Posit: if Aziz Ansari hadn't left (or was written off) Scrubs to do Parks and Rec, Scrubs reboot would be much, much, much better. - musubi Jan 12, 11:22 17
- true but he's just as good on P&R so no big loss -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 11:26 2
  - This is way to reasonable and correct for a pixie post. Crazyhate it up a bit, or you'll lower you haterade average. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 11:28 1
    - i'm gonna get you some Rose Bowl turf and then you'll have to meet me to get it -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 11:31
- I like that kid. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 12, 11:24
- I like it better now that JD is gone. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:23 12
  - I hate Cole, but he is the only student that makes me laugh. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 11:38
  - did they say what JD went off to do? -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 11:33
  - Yeah I agree. I miss The Todd he was hilarious. But like the blond doc left over from last season shes funny -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 11:26 3
    - The Todd was over-used and the running High Five Joke stopped being funny years ago. - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:29 1
      - he hit his peak when they did the whole gay/omni thing. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 11:40
    - Todd has been on a few episodes. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:27
  - Hot Aussie med student is the only one I don't want gone. - musubi Jan 12, 11:25 5
    - Lucy (girl-JD) is growing on me. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:29 3
      - Why rejoice JD leaving when they replaced him with a wishy-washier female version? - musubi Jan 12, 11:32 2
        
        cause she's hotter. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 11:36 1
        
        Only marginally. - musubi Jan 12, 11:40

- my guess would be - con_carne Jan 12, 11:25 1
  - no but i can totally see that -- nm - prayformojo Jan 12, 11:27
- spoiler - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:25 1
  - close enough - prayformojo Jan 12, 11:27
- A typical lazy Sunday brunch at Lady Gaga's? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:23
- no. -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 11:21
pixie is fired for not telling us of this. -- (link) - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 11:21 2
- *blink* that's....genius. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 11:43
- He's StormTrooper #2 in the ending dance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 11:22
I can see the entertainment value of some vehicles that are instantly recognizable, like the General Lee and KITT, but some of those - musubi Jan 12, 11:18 9
- KITT is like a Batmobile while the "General Lee" is like "Elinor" -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:21 8
  - Both of those would have to have appropriate paint and some would be personal nostalgia -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 11:22 1
    - the difference is a "fantasy" car versus an "ordenary" car - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:25
  - what if i have no idea what "Eleanor" is? - Andie Jan 12, 11:22 5
    - Gone in 60 Seconds (the Nic Cage Version) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:23 2
      - ah, that explains it. thx. -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 11:24 1
        
        shorter version: " 67 Mustang" - Danedukenuuk Jan 12, 11:27
    - Elanor 67 shelby gt 350 (if I remember correctly) -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 11:22 1
      - from what show? -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 11:23
Kim got the Nikki Heat book for Christmas! Twice! -- nm - David Jan 12, 11:18 3
- Any good? Like the Dexter books are good -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 11:25 2
  - It's standard genre pulp fiction. I liked it well enough. -- nm - David Jan 12, 11:28
  - totally different situation. Dexter the show came from the book. The Nikki Heat books are basically written to appeal to the show's fans. - Andie Jan 12, 11:26
LIR. heh, payday loan stores are one of the signs (to me) that it's not a great neighborhood. - loosilu Jan 12, 11:17 14
- also Rent To Own stores -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 12, 11:26
- check cashing places, too, though those are slightly more benign... -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:19 12
  - also, prepaid long distance phone cards, and wire transfers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:20 11
    - that really just signifies a high immigrant population, not a bad neighborhood in and of itself... - znufrii Jan 12, 11:23 10
      - though the best way I've found to tell a good neighborhood is the beer selection in the corner bodega/local grocery store. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:25 7
        
        True. Also, how many bars are on the windows of the liquor store. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:28 5
        
        or even the classic plexiglass partition. - znufrii Jan 12, 11:29 3
        
        All of these warning signs are understandable, but all put together you run a high risk of choosing a boring neighborhood. At least here, anyway. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:32 2
        
        and I'm not saying you should avoid them altogether, necessarily. - znufrii Jan 12, 11:35 1
        
        I'm sure I've mentioned how much I love my neighborhood, even though it violates most of these -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:37
        
        You know, bars on any first floor dwellings, especially new ones, is a sign -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:29
        
        A man can not live on malt liquor alone -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:27
      - it's the whole package I'm referring to. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:24 1
        
        oh yeah, definitely. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:25
LYC: Just watched Brace For Impact (TLC) about the plane landing in the Hudson. gosh there was a dust storm in my apartment. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:16 4
- Not to sound snarky, but how's the job search going? -- nm - mara Jan 12, 11:24 1
  - discouraging. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 11:28
- the documentary made you want to do housework? -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 11:22
- *sends letter* -- nm - Loosi's Landlord Jan 12, 11:18
