Ronan from Stargate Atlantis has been cast as Conan. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 21:01 9
- seriously? i'm so disappointed... really, i mean, i might piss off some folks here, but i dont' care, because (spoiler) ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 21, 21:28
- Hmm. Is Conan supposed to be muscle-bound, or was that just the movies? -- (link) - nubby Jan 21, 21:06 [Image] 2
  - Arnold sorta pushed the boundries. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 21:08
  - I think Ronan can pack on the weight, but he doesn't need to be Arnie sized. -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 21:07
- there's only one other role left that i can think he would be right for -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 21:03 2
  - which part? Here's a picture for the ladies.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 21, 21:06 [Image]
  - Hitler? -- nm - amoxy Jan 21, 21:05
- I predict that in his next role he will play Onan. -- nm - Dano Jan 21, 21:03
- Late Shift 2 is going forward faster than I thought. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 21:02
Big on UK radio currently: Glee's rendition of Don't Stop Believing. - ty97 Jan 21, 21:01
Haiti: Amy Fisher strips for relief -- (link) - budice Jan 21, 20:55 2

Conan : 'Inside the 'Co " ? -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 21, 20:54
Fascinating. The Internet has just recently discovered Hanson's cover of OPtimistic by Radiohead -- (link) - loosilu Jan 21, 20:51 9
- It's a nice attempt, and they don't really do anything to the arrangement, but the vocal style's a bit too slick and enunciated for Radiohead. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:56 6
  - Exactly. I could do better. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 21:05
  - it's not karaoke. that's his singing style. The guys in both bands actually are friends, btw. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 20:57 3
    - ?? I didn't say it was. I'm saying it's not a travesty, but it's also not like, amazing. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:59 2
      - can't you see Thom Yorke's penis is tearing us apart?! -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 21:00
      - gotcha. I've always loved it. (and I love the original as well in a totally different way) -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 21:00
  - maybe brokenCYDE should try it -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:56
- the internet is nothing if not skilled at recycling. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:51 1
  - I think this is more like archeology (it's from 2005). Here's a link for the song. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 21, 20:56 [youtube]
"Can I just ask as a divorced black housewife, what part of being a single white slacker makes you people so jaded?" - TFox Jan 21, 20:46
Heh. Gamblers are going 75% for the Jets to win, but 61% for the Colts to cover 8 points. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:35 5
- Gamblers are sort of morons, huh? -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 20:38 4
  - you do have to consider the payouts. Jets winning straight up pays 14/5. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:41 3
    - I sort of misread it. And by sort of, I mean totally. -- nm - TFox Jan 21, 20:42 2
      - well no - it seems incoherent if it's the same people betting on both outcomes. It's probably not. - Reagen Jan 21, 20:45 1
        
        (personally, I think the Jets beat the spread) -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:47
Response to Howl at Sundance seems mixed to negative. -- nm - Dano Jan 21, 20:34
Bery-san, can we get this book club announcement added to the yellow box? (Would it qualify for yellow box treatment?) - ty97 Jan 21, 20:32 11
- Can I vote even if it's highly unlikely I read any of the books? -- nm - psilotum Jan 21, 20:52 3
  - I'm not turning away any voters; perhaps voting will inspire you to read with us. -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 20:57
  - And what vote ranking/weighting system are you using? - psilotum Jan 21, 20:54 1
    - Simple weighting. First choice = 3 points. Second = 2 points. Third = 1 point. -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 20:57
- I vote for Watership Down. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 20:34 4
  - We're each voting for three books, prioritized. Instructions at link -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 20:35 3
    - I had already looked, but if you want my next two: Shuuter Isle and Soon I Will Be Invincible. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 20:39 2
      - Ah, the Dutch translation. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 20:47

negative fourteen. Yeah ... not a fan of CTF. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:25 5

  - I like domination in MW2 (territories), but I hate objective games in Halo now -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:29 2
    - I'm sorry there isn't enough gay sex for you in Capture the Flag. -- nm - David Jan 21, 20:30 1
      - I've never played Mass Effect or Dragonage. (And it's not gay if it's an elf.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:32
- agreed -- nm - Remlik Jan 21, 20:26
if loan sharks charge more interest than any of the people they loan to can ever repay back, how do they stay in business? - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:25 16
- I knew a loan shark, had a 2nd hand shop next to the yellow cab garage, gate fee was 35, they paid back 40 next night - z-droid Jan 21, 20:48
- I don't know but they aren't going to loan you money for a new card board box - Epiphany Jan 21, 20:28
- you take the business that the people own or home the own... - Remlik Jan 21, 20:28 4
  - but that would involve perfecting a security interest in the property. i've never seen a loan shark do that -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:29 3
    - in some cases, they'll make you run errands for them. Stuff they don't want to sacrifice their own people for. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:30 2
      - so then go into concierge service or something and actually make a profit you can live on, mr. loan shark -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:32 1
        
        Um, I meant drug mules. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:42
- Becasue people pay all they can *before* getting busted up. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 20:27 4
  - but the shark is still losing money on the overall loan -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:28 3
    - No, it gets repaid with some of the int paid back. And others pay it all. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 20:29 2
      - okay, maybe that gets them back to even. *maybe* -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:30 1
        
        That gets them to Phase 3. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 20:32
- I imagine enough people find a way to pay the OVER 9000% interest. -- nm - Qale Jan 21, 20:27 3
  - not according to every TV show i've ever seen - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 20:27 2
    - TV only shows the stories that have gotten to a point that is dramatic enough to sell commercial products. I'm sure there are mundane loanshark storie -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 20:28 1
      - I saw one this week. - Epiphany Jan 21, 20:30
