    - You'll watch this, but not Avatar? You are dumb. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 11:15 3
      - Jersey Shore is more original, and entertaining. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:22 1

      - well one of them has a clothing line for true ladies.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 19, 11:18
      - The hilarity factor is awesome. Where the Real World tries to get a diverse group so nobody is in their element, this gets one group so we can laugh - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:11 9
        
        i love trashy MTV reality shows as much as the next guy and even i couldn't get through two episodes of it -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 11:16 5

        well i'd watch paint dry with Amy -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 11:21 1
        
        Basically, we watch a little of either this, Clean House or Horders. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:37
        
        I just can't encourage these assholes in anyway. I feel like it's a bit of a betrayal that I even know as much as I do about them. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 11:14 1
        
        Gym, tan, laundry! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:15
        
        They are the top tier of the show. Jwoww and Pauly the second, Vinny's sort of on his won, and Ronnie/Sammie are worthless -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:14
    - Jwoww and Pauly are coming to a Bar near my house tonight -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:07 18

        I won't be there, apparently the line is already forming though -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:13 16
        
        Sad. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 11:15 14
        
        Please don't make him feel worse for not going. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:17 13
        
        I weep for the future that these people are "famous." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 11:21 12
        
        They are each being paid $7,500 for tonight's appearance, and The Situation is getting paid 10k for coming to my old college bar in a month -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:23 11
        
        So, The Situation is pricier? Why exactly? -- nm - David Jan 19, 11:24 10
        
        Better nickname. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 11:27 3
        
        Please. It sounds like a low rent villain from Hulk's rogues gallery. -- nm - David Jan 19, 11:28 2
        
        Which for MTV's standards.....better nickname. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 11:33
        
        Non Mtv rumor has it that he was a male dancer. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:29
        
        As was noted, he and Sooki are tier one. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:25 5
        
        no he's right, there's talk they're coming to Indy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 11:28
        
        Exactly: Situation/Snookie 10k+, Jwoww/ Pauly 7.5k, Ronnie/Sammie: 3k, Vinny 5k -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:27 2
        
        jwoww needs to get paid more. She's hotter and smarter. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 11:35 1
        
        Without make-up, no on the first. Screwing around on camera where her BF can see, no on the second. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:42
        
        c'mon. this is really Amy posting under your account. fess up -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 11:27
        
        DTM! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 19, 11:14
  - They nail every episode in the show in 2 minutes, including leaving out the one cast member who doesn't do anything -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 11:02

Thoughts on the adjustable mortgage rate plan? -- (link) - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 10:55 4
- Sounds alright. Whats the rate for the first 5 years? -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 11:03 2
  - 4%. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 11:12 1
    - If you amortize it at 9% and you can still afford the payments, then it could be a good deal. -- nm - psilotum Jan 19, 11:27
- How much below a 30 year fixed does it start? What is the adjust based on? -- nm - psilotum Jan 19, 10:59
if all you remember of Andre the Giant is "Princess Bride" & his later years in the WWF where he really couldn't do much...here is a rare video of him -- (link) - Remlik Jan 19, 10:52 [youtube] 12
- I think his disease doesn't really start taking its toll until later on. - Inigo Jan 19, 11:06 3
  - His back was so gone by Princess Bride, when they did the surgery for Wrestlemania, they had to flay him open - Will Hunting Jan 19, 11:08 2
    - Measured in gallons, of course. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 11:18 1
      - Yeah. He's a pretty amazing character. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 11:19
- He looks like overgrown Sylar. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 11:03
- Paint him blue, and it's Avatar. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 10:58 1
  - I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain -- nm - Mech suit with a knife Jan 19, 11:01
- Wow.....he was pretty....light on his feet for a huge man. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 10:55 2
  - yep. I was really kind of stunned by that, as all I remember of him is him lumbering around. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 10:56 1
    - Yeah, I'd heard stories about him being an athletic big man, but that's.....not at all close to what I was expecting. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 10:57
- i imagine that's how ty97 must look to the local residents in Tokyo -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:53 1
  - escpecially now that he looks like young Andre, whereas before he looked like Old Andre -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 10:54
Wall Street 2: This pay cheque will clear right? -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 10:50 8

- I was surprised Josh Brolin got the lead for that. -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 10:51 6
  - isn't it Shia LeBeouf? -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:53 5
    - Shia = Charlie Sheen Jr. and Josh = Michael Douglas Jr.? -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 10:54 4
      - Oh, then good choice. -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 10:55 3
        
        I'm just speculating, but it would make sense. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 10:56 2
        
        from what I know of the plot (spoils) - Roger More Jan 19, 10:58 1
        
        hmmm... looking at the wiki page, that's not exactly true. -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 11:02
LIR: I'm confused. I was thinking of the new *checked* baggage fees. NM! -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 10:49 1
- No no, you can't take it back now. *charge* -- nm - Airlines Jan 19, 10:50
Andie, don't give Ryan Air any ideas. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 10:49 7

  - they'd charge extra to land if they could figure out how. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 10:53 5
    - Good! -- nm - NWBR - Ryanair Stock Holder Jan 19, 11:15 2
      - I'll never fly them again. The flight could be free and it's too much. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 11:17 1
        
        So long as the dividends continue for 3-5 years. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 11:19
    - The terrorists really did a number on people with the no liquids being brought onboard. There's talk of Ryanair going transatlantic within 5 years. - Loyola Jan 19, 10:58 1
      - halfway through the flight, you have to pay an extra $100 to keep them from turning around -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:59
that script is kind of written already. it's called The Beaver and it's starring Mel Gibson - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:46 14
- Seems like a cousin to Lars and the Real Girl. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 10:51 1
  - it was #1 on the Black List a year ago. Steve Carrell was originally going to do it but dropped out - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:55
- and directed by Jodie Foster. It kinda looks cool. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 10:48 4
  - she looked hot at the GG's -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 10:48 3
    - Yeah, I liked that second applause she got when she walked out... just for standing there -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 10:53 1
      - (it was like "Hey, thanks for femming it up tonight") -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 10:54
    - She always looks hot (except when she doesn't) -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 10:49
- why'd they shoot the beaver? -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 10:47 2
  - [Gratuitous Beaver Shot] -- nm - Loaded Weapon Jan 19, 10:48 1
    - I need to get that movie on DVD -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:49
- the ungooglable movie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 10:47 2
  - Even more fun when you try to narrow it down by director. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 10:49
  - even David was kind of shocked when he went looking for it -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 10:48
