Btw, what's this AMC/Oscar Best Picture thing that gets mentioned here? Is it, you buy one ticket and you can see all the oscar flicks? -- nm - flavorize Feb 4, 08:36 8
- Yes. They've done it for a few years now, where it was one day for $25, you see all 5 films nominated for Best Picture on one Saturday. - JaxSean Feb 4, 08:37 3
  - Cut District 9, no one wants to see that again. -- nm - MDH Feb 4, 08:40 1
    - Guy?? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 4, 08:41
  - well, for starters, they can cut Avatar - everyone's seen it already. Twice. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:38
- Yeah...like $30? For the 5 movies in the past. Dedicated theatre and free refills on refreshments. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 4, 08:36 3
  - Nice! Do they announce it pretty far in advance, or is it just something you have to check on, daily? -- nm - flavorize Feb 4, 08:39 1
    - probably announce it in the next week or so. you can google "AMC Oscar Showcase". -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 08:41
  - You're right - it's $30 regular, $25 for their Movie Watcher members (which is free, and you can sign up online). -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 08:39
I have no idea how many calories is in sushi. - ty97 Feb 4, 08:35 9
- [deleted]
- really depends. - Andie Feb 4, 08:35 7
  - Yeah, sashimi is really low. Even the plain-ish rolls with just rice and a fish product are pretty low. - Subversive Feb 4, 08:38 5
    - this wasn't even rolls, just rice with fish slapped on top. - ty97 Feb 4, 08:39 3
      - lots of places are offering brown rice as an alternative these days. At least you can get that benefit and...still yummy. -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 08:41
      - not that bad then. -- nm - Andie Feb 4, 08:40
      - not my fault -- nm - groiny si Feb 4, 08:40

  - My fear is that this one will be a letdown. The big one in December, and the few smaller ones since have all met or exceeded predictions, so could be - Don Homer Feb 4, 08:36

        you must not have seen the pics on the innernets. -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 08:42

National Prayer Breakfast organizers under fire for connections to Uganda anti-gay legislation. -- (link) - znufrii (27 days) Feb 4, 08:28 2
- One thing you don't get enough credit for: by always linking the same news source, it makes it unnecessary to ask "where do you find this shit?" -- nm - TFox Feb 4, 08:30 1
  - I live to serve. -- nm - znufrii (27 days) Feb 4, 08:36

- I can help you out with that. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 4, 08:32
- *chalks it up to jet lag* To be fair, I think yesterday may have been an abject failure of a humpday. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:27 2
  - I blame lafarrow -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 4, 08:28 1
    - We should make a Ken Burns style documentary called "Failure to Hump" ... and get that dateline guy impersonator from SNL to narrate -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:28

Is Serena Williams juicing? I've never really thought about this (until just now) - flavorize Feb 4, 08:10 25
- I heard the commentators remark in Wimbledon that the Williams sisters, along with the other players are tested more regularly than in any other sport -- nm - Loyola Feb 4, 08:15 3
  - They have to provide information as to where they will be every day of the year three months in advance to be available for random testing. - Dano Feb 4, 08:21 2
    - Nice. -- nm - Loyola Feb 4, 08:26
    - That is rather hardcore. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 4, 08:24
- It's those damn Belgian chicks that are the juicers. -- nm - CQ Feb 4, 08:15
- I have the feeling that if she wasn't playing tennis for a living she'd weigh 300 lbs. She's a big woman. -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 08:14 7
  - I've always thought that too, just a big woman that makes it all muscle. But, just looking at some pics of her, her arms are like 3-D, just amazing. -- nm - flavorize Feb 4, 08:21 3
    - I've also seen a pic of a sister of hers that does not play tennis and works as an assistant to Serena and Venus. - Diva Feb 4, 08:25 2
      - I KNOW! -- nm - GAMS Feb 4, 08:34 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 08:36
  - I think this also, plus the fact she's probably on a seriously strict diet. -- nm - CQ Feb 4, 08:16 2
    - it's a probable fact. just saying is all -- nm - CQ Feb 4, 08:18 1
      - Yeah. She'd have potential to be huge. -- nm - Callisto Feb 4, 08:35
- If she turns green, I agree that someone ought to check her out. -- nm - TFox Feb 4, 08:12
- The testing system in tennis is extremely rigorous. -- nm - Dano Feb 4, 08:12 10
  - Yes, it would be highly surprising if any tennis player was getting away with it. - Callisto Feb 4, 08:24 4
    - why? there are track stars getting away with it and there's probably more money in tennis -- nm - zork Feb 4, 08:26 3
      - Because the testing is so rigorous that it would show up. - Callisto Feb 4, 08:27 2
        
        zork might be suggesting scientific workarounds to the testing. But even then, it might be considered too risky. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 08:30 1
        
        Right, even with the workarounds, I've read that their ability to go back and test again makes this unlikely, too. -- nm - Callisto Feb 4, 08:33
  - Wasn't Martina Navraitola accused of steroids (at least by players) at one time? I sorta remember something like that - flavorize Feb 4, 08:18 1
    - and hopped up raquets that weren't available 20 years ago. -- nm - zork Feb 4, 08:20
  - except if your Andre Agassi and doing Meth (nm) - decline Feb 4, 08:14 2
    - but he swore it wasn't his fault! -- nm - Beaker Feb 4, 08:17
    - and I believe it was a different system then. -- nm - Dano Feb 4, 08:15
