cause I know of at least 3 people here who care...Gail Simone's Birds of Prey series returns -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:22 7
- TV!?! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:32
- [deleted] 2
  - is that the same guy who cowrote with Newt gingrich? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 13, 09:39
  - cool. That looks good. -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:25
- That went through a LOT of writers just to come back to her. McKeever wrote half a year, Bedard wrote some IIRC. Who else? -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 09:23 2
  - Chuck Dixion, Gail Simone, Sean McKever/Tony Bedard, Gail Simone according to wiki -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:25 1
    - I like her writing. I'll have to pick it back up. - TWuG Jan 13, 09:26

O tech wizards of ST, I call upon thee and humbly request your expertise: My monitor at home has this weird horizontal echo thing going on... - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 09:19 [Image] 5
- does it do that at all resolutions? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 13, 09:25 3
  - I'm pretty sure. - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 09:27 2
    - just spitballing it here - tRuMaN Jan 13, 09:29 1
      - I don't think so. But I'll check that when I get home. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 09:35
- Get a new monitor. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:23

- Oh, please. He got up, what, a half a second before we see a chair move? -- nm - mara Jan 13, 09:38 1
  - I did about a four count. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 09:39
- i didn't realize there was any debate about it -- nm - Guy Jan 13, 09:20
Canadians/hockey fans - have we discussed the Burrows incident - Guy Jan 13, 09:17 10
- So Auger to Burrows: "You took a dive and made me look bad." That's the gist of Burrows' argument? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:20 5
  - Burrows said Auger flat out said "I'm getting you back tonight" - Guy Jan 13, 09:21 4
    - But it seems so petty. Auger was upset because Burrows took a dive and Auger fell for it? -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:25 3
      - he might just dislike the guy too. would Auger normally hand out a 10 minute misconduct at the end of the game? - Guy Jan 13, 09:30 1
        
        That's just it. It's so detailed of a situation that it feels right. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 13, 09:32
      - it's not even settled that Burrows took a dive. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 09:29
- The NHL can't prove anything against Auger and would have hell to pay if they acknowledge the truth that refs exercise the power. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 13, 09:20 3
  - i realize Burrows is breaking a code about sucking it up and staying quiet - Guy Jan 13, 09:22 1
    - I'm sure through backchannels the ref is getting chewed out, but the public side of it will be on Burrows. (Can't blame Burrows for calling it out.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 13, 09:30
  - of note: Auger wasn't *the* ref in the Doan incident, but he was involved in it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 09:22
Watching American Idol last night made me realize even more that SYTYCD is superior is almost every way. -- nm - Shaun Jan 13, 09:16 14
- word. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:32
- I think they have a vastly different level of dedication required. - mafic Jan 13, 09:19
- The first month of Idol blows. *Blows*. Unwatchable. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:18 6
  - I love AI, I *hate* the auditions portion. It's mean-spirited and uncomfortable. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:20
  - you crazy, there is always some funny as shit in the auditions. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:19 4
    - I can't stand it ever since they turned that asshat William Hung into a star. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:24
    - agreed. its the only part worth watching -- nm - Guy Jan 13, 09:23
    - The best is when Randy is laughing so hard that he puts the paper in front of his face. -- nm - Shaun Jan 13, 09:22
    - I've sat through enough awful vocal auditions in my life. I don't need any more. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:20
- Isn't that the one with the extremely loud, shrill female judge? No thanks. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:18
- Idol gave me the best laugh I have had in quite a while last night. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:17 3
  - I will admit that Simon and Randy's faces when that hot waitress walked out was pretty awesome. -- nm - Shaun Jan 13, 09:18 2
    - her face was not that good, but the ass was good. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:19 1
      - Solid rack of lamb going on too. -- nm - Shaun Jan 13, 09:19
most of the hawtest contestants on AI didn't make it past the top 24 rounds -- nm - zork Jan 13, 09:14 6
- Sure, some make it that far because Simon likes their looks -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:15 2
  - looks play into the whole "sellability" thing. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:18 1
    - Yup, and I'm definitely not complaining that he does this. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:27
- my top 2 are neck and neck with Kat McPhee and Megan Joy. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:14 2
  - It's interesting that I don't think the guys in general have been that hot. Kris Allen is probably the hottest. -- nm - Dano Jan 13, 09:16 1
    - There was a guy on last night that I might even consider doing. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:17
Now at 11:30 on NBC... Between Two Ferns -- nm - Dano Jan 13, 09:13 1
- NBC: Not rock bottom yet! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:17
PSA - Leverage returns tonight from it's break - and Jeri Ryan is also back with it. - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:12 8
- still on my laminated list -- nm - prayformojo Jan 13, 09:20
- Of course I love her. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:13 6
  - Amy's comment is now stuck in my brain every time I see an episode - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:20 4
    - heh. She has been a fan of his since Angel was on the air. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:31 1
      - well soon she can go see him LIVE - convention or when he tours with his band - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:33
    - One thing that really helps him (if we're talking CK / Eliot) - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:23 1
      - the fact that he has very little dialog? buhwaaa - but I agree to the IM - the wet basement scene/girl hitter - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:28
  - what if she was 8 feet tall and blue? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:13
Quitting smoking has inadvertantly also led me to cut down on the amount of coffee I drink. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 13, 09:11 7
- Moving to the new building where you have to pay for coffee has cut my coffee consumption some. - TFox Jan 13, 09:12 2
  - It was a ritual for me, especially the first cup/smoke of the day. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 13, 09:14 1
    - I would have never thought I'd say this, but not smoking is actually pretty friggin rad. - TFox Jan 13, 09:15
- "You don't drive every time you smoke, so why do you smoke every time you drive?" -- nm - PSA Jan 13, 09:12 1
  - Those are funny. I like the drinking one. -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 09:28
- are you feeling better without needing the coffee? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 13, 09:12 1
  - I still get the haven't-had-any-caffeine-yet headache, but getting it later. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 13, 09:13
I think it would be hella-awesome if Leno AND Conan left NBC. nm - Jim Jan 13, 09:08 33
- Jonathan Ross is available in July. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:16 2
  - Hmm....I can't see NBC spending huge money on him. -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:26 1
    - Exactly he'll be cheap. Maybe Conan can come over here in exchange. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:40
- Note to Popeater: Conan didn't say he was leaving NBC. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:12 12
  - His statement didn't say he's leaving but it's been pretty clear from those in the know that he's gone if they do this. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:15 11
    - The point is: If Leno goes home, then Conan doesn't have to. No way both leave. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 13, 09:18 3
      - yup, while I wouldn't blame Conan for leaving anyway, no way he puts his contract at risk, imho -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 09:19
      - If Conan stays short-term, I expect him to be gone upon completion of the current contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:18 1
        
        that would not surprise me in the slightest. -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 09:31
    - Right, but if they don't, he may stay. And if they lose Leno, there's no chance on earth they change a thing. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:16 6
      - Its a no-win situation for Jay or Conan at this point though - eag Jan 13, 09:21 4
        
        Conan's the aggrieved party here. If he stays at 11:35 on NBC he absolutely wins. -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 09:27 1
        
        Only if he ends up out rating David - eag Jan 13, 09:31
        
        Conan ain't coming out of this looking bad in any shape way or form given his statement yesterday. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:22 1
        
        Well they can always leave things status quo - eag Jan 13, 09:25
      - Right. I just wonder when the executive who pulled this stunt gets fired. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:18
- FWIW, Fallon has been far better than I expected on his show, honestly. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:08 13
  - I think he's nearly unwatchable. Although it doesn't matter since Craig Ferguson is on and there's no reason to watch anyone else. -- nm - pmb Jan 13, 09:22
  - He's ok but he isnt ready to be given the keys to the kingdom aka The Tonight Show -- nm - eag Jan 13, 09:13 5
    - oh hell no. you're absolutely right. but, less awful than it would seem on its face. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:14 4
      - Let's also remember, Conan was abysmal his first year or two on his first night-show. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:16 3
        
        There should almost be a minor league for talk show hosts. A Venezuelan winter league. - TFox Jan 13, 09:17 2
        
        Jim's got it right. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:21
        
        There is...it's called Late Night on NBC. -- nm - Jim Jan 13, 09:19
  - Wait, someone actually watches that? - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:12 4
    - I did one night - eag Jan 13, 09:14
    - I've seen some of it. I got intrigued when he played Ivanka Trump in beer pong (and got wrecked). -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:13 2
      - mmmmm.... Ivanka Trump -- nm - Guy Jan 13, 09:18 1
        
        She's the one thing you and I will always agree on. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:18
  - And it keeps him from attempting more movies. *WIN! -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 09:12
- [deleted] 2
  - In the unlikely event that they both did actually leave, I do think Ferguson and even Carson Daly would be favored over Fallon. -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 09:22
  - YES!!!! -- nm - Jim Jan 13, 09:15
so where would The Jay Leno show fall in the list of Worst Programming Decisions of the '00s? - znufrii Jan 13, 09:07 4
- I can't imagine it's not #1. - Ender Jan 13, 09:17 1
  - [deleted]
- It's the New Coke of TV talk shows. -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 09:10 1
  - well, it is a variety show -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:28
groiny, if you want to try some of the co-op missions (sorta like campaign missions but not in campaign mode) let me know - tRuMaN Jan 13, 09:06 3
- ok, I will see if I can get on this evening. - groiny Jan 13, 09:09 2
  - heh. you should just ask if anyone wants to help. I can play halo3 this evening as well if you would rather do that. - tRuMaN Jan 13, 09:14 1
    - I am not sure what happened, because I completed - groiny Jan 13, 09:17
LYC - there really is a street in Kissimmee, FL called Fruit Loop Circle - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:06 15
- That's nothing. The town I live in is filled with silly and odd names. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 13, 09:07 14
  - Okay, name one the beats that. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:12
  - "123 Fake Street" -- nm - prayformojo Jan 13, 09:10
  - [deleted] 11
    - A few quick examples: - Don Homer Jan 13, 09:19 10
      - Cornshock? -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 13, 09:32
      - Those street names rule. We should have some like this. Instead, we have 10 streets named "Jefferson," 10 more named "Washington," etc. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:30
      - [deleted] 7
        
        Yeah, I like that one, it's not too far from us. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 13, 09:27
        
        Once fantasy baseball season starts, I will build you a home on my broken staff. How about that? -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:26 5

        I will smite you with a Louisville Slugger forged at the apex of Mount Olympus. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 09:32 1

I'll tell you who needs to and probably will do a sendup of this Tonight Show crap. 30 Rock. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:06 1
- Yeah, Tina has made some notable cracks about this. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 13, 09:13
snu snu -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 09:06
