Chewy Poll: Do you have a favorite gum that you chew/buy/have-on-hand typically? - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:16 17
- I often chew Dentyne Ice when working out. -- nm - decline Feb 17, 13:22 1
  - I used to but they kept changing the flavor of the one I liked. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:23
- I pretty much hate gum. Gives me headaches plus people stick in places on buses and trains and I've had pants ruined from it. -- nm - zork Feb 17, 13:22 1
  - Stay off your knees on buses and trains. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 17, 13:23
- nope, don't chew gum....I'm a Pep-o-mint Lifesavers freak though. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 17, 13:20
- Orbit, when I was a smoker. Because it was super-cheap by the case at Costco. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:19
- Do they still make Big Red? When i had gum on hand (long ago) that was my gum of choice. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:19
- Been with Mentos Pure Fresh chewing gum lately. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:19

- Don't really like gum. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:19
- Orbit, peppermint. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:19
- Orbit strawberry. You can only chew them for like 2 minutes then all the flavour is gone. Which sucks. - Loyola Feb 17, 13:18
- Extra - The blue one with the snowflake on it and the bubble gum -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:18
- Excel - Polar Ice. They sell plastic cases of 60 pieces for about 3x what they sell packs of 12 for. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 13:18 3
  - They have 4-packs at Costco for $8.99. Was just there today. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:24
  - I order mine bulk from Amazon -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:18 1
    - .ca needs to get with it. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 13:22
Weird internet thing #52535: Danny Devito most often tweets pictures of his feet in various places -- (link) - oblique Feb 17, 13:12 2
- This is funny. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 17, 13:24
- Love it! - Krusty Feb 17, 13:23
hee! "The Swedes are kicking the Norwegians in the wax room!" I need to get me some of that wax. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:08 4
- sounds like you could make a mint on the footage. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 13:16 2
  - especially the women skiers, is that what you're saying? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:20 1
    - burn the men's footage. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 13:22
- in the board-cross you could see the difference for some right at the start. Of course, it's not really... - zork Feb 17, 13:15
Dear CD Burner. You fail to do even the most basic task you were made to do. I hate you. That is all. -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:05 2
- maybe it's the discs -- nm - zork Feb 17, 13:07 1
  - system 60 fail?????? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 13:09
Rate these disaster flicks in order of preference; 2012, Day after Tomorrow, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Independence Day. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 12:57 42
- [deleted]
- Armageddom, ID4, Deep Impact, 2012, TDAT -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 13:13
- You know who was in ID4 that I didn't realize until the last time I saw it? Adam Baldwin. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:11 1
  - Indeed. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 13:12
- ID4 is best, Armageddon is 2nd best. Haven't seen the rest. (Where is "The Core"?) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:10 7
  - I left out the Core because (spoils) - Loyola Feb 17, 13:14 6
    - (spoils) - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:17 5
      - I still liked it though. What do you call him was great in it, he got an oscar nom this year. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:20 4
        
        bruce greenwood? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:21 3
        
        No he played JFK in 13 Days, the bald dude, the scientist. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:23
        
        no, stanley tucci. Yeah, he's always great -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:22 1
        
        That's the guy. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:23
- Deep Impact is terrible. Armageddon is decent thanks to the comedy sequences, Day after Tomorrow was good but isn't holding up well and ID4 is fun. - David Feb 17, 13:08 1
  - I caught ID4 on HDNet a few months ago. Some of the FX are really bad now. 2012 spoils - Shaun Feb 17, 13:10
- Armageddon, ID4, 2012, Day After Tomorrow, didn't see Deep Impact. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 13:07
- ID4, Armageddon, Deep Impact, Day After Tomorrow, 2012. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:06
- 3, 5, 1, 4, 2 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:06
- -10,0, medium, low, medium -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:03
- Armageddon, ID4, Tomorrow, Deep Impact. Still need to see 2012 -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:03
- Why do you call it ID4? -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:02 9
  - Link. -- (link) - David Feb 17, 13:19 [Image]
  - Independence Day is July 4, and it came out around that date. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:06 3
    - Will Smith used to own that weekend. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:07 2
      - Yup. Then he got all cartoony and/or serious. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:11
      - He must be due for another July 4th tentpole. Bad Boys 3!! -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 13:10
  - It was commonly used on the poster and promo materials for the movie at the time of its release. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:03
  - Because that was what the film makers wanted. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:02
  - (Jack and Jim) -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:02 1
    - I'm thinking that was how it was marketed at the time, wasn't it? -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 13:03
- I'm not sure if I've seen any of those movies all the way through. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:02
- Mine; Armageddon, Day after Tomorrow, 2012, Independence Day, Deep Impact. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:01
- Day After, Armageddon (close to being ties for first), ID4, never saw Deep Impact, (insert almost any other disaster flick here), 2012 -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:00
- [deleted] 7
  - FYI. The Core is available on Netflix instant streaming :) -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 13:03
  - And Poseidon Adventure (the original) is my personal favorite. nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:59 5
    - Towering inferno -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 13:06
    - *ding* - Spawn Feb 17, 13:00 3
      - yep to the IM plus Earthquake ... in Sensurround -- nm - zork Feb 17, 13:02
      - Didn't catch it in theaters, but it was definitely our local channel's BIG Saturday Movie at least once a month. (spoils) - Jim Feb 17, 13:02 1
        
        I was *six* when I first saw it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:03
- ID4, Armageddon, 2012, Day After Tomorrow. Never saw Deep Impact. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:57 1
  - oh, you should (if you like these types of films.). i remember LOVING the first hour of ID, but it lost it a little - Andie Feb 17, 13:00
The 'Innocence' panel in NC released a man from a life sentence today after he served 17 years. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Feb 17, 12:56
cross country skiers!!!! -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:55
CL Update Bayern - Fiorentina GOAL Kr�ldrup -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 12:55
Buffy seasons 6 and 7 were a failure, yes. -- nm - David Feb 17, 12:51 18 1
- Hardly. Didn't work as well as earlier seasons perhaps, but 6 and 7 both had their solid eps and moments. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 12:59 13
  - There were good episodes, but I think the overall path was flawed. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 13:01 12
    - Season 6 took awhile to get on track, but 7 was solid for the most part. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:04 11
      - I wasn't a fan of the nerds or the training slayers, which are the two primary focuses (focii?) of those seasons. - David Feb 17, 13:05 10
        
        I agree the nerds were weak as far as big bads went, but I can appreciate them going a different direction with it. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 13:18 1
        
        As I've said before, I would have been much happier if Willow had been the bad guy from day one. -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:20
        
        You mention the main reason I could never get into the comic. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 13:06 6
        
        I find the most recent stuff in the comic to be wildly unfocused. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 13:08 5
        
        I think the real problem with comics is that they're so sloooow. The damn thing has been going for what, 4 years now? -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:10 4
        
        SheFox doesn't much like this. She forgets where she was in the story by the time the next one comes out. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:14 3
        
        move to trade. A lot of Buffy readers are doing this. Whedon always said this run will last 39 plus issues. And then Season 9 starts. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 13:15 2
        
        She doesn't much like waiting for the trades either. She's not always patient. :) -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:17 1
        
        (probably because it requires her entire stockpile of patience to be married to me.) -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:18
        
        I quite liked the nerds. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:06
- A failure in that they were't quite DS9 awesomeness but still damn good. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 12:54
- "She saved the world. A lot." felt like a perfect way to end it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:53 1
  - Exactly (though Reagen's point is well taken.) -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:04
- I would say only by Buffy's internal standards. They were still better than most stuff on TV at the time. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:53
Lil' Vermin has been waking up at 4am instead of her usual 6am the last two nights. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:46 6
- [deleted] 4
  - Interesting. Thanks. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:06
  - a shot of whiskey will work too -- nm - decline Feb 17, 12:55 2
    - sure, but what about the baby? :) -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 13:06
    - Nyquil. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:56
- That won't work, but feel free to try. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:47
Diva, I mean for directing or producing. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:43 9
- I see. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 12:44
- [deleted] 7
  - I'm really not getting the Blind Side hatey boner you guys seem to have. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:53 5
    - It's actually my favorite film of the Best Picture nominees this year. It was my #3 film of 2009 while District 9 was #4. -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:14
    - Because it is *just* another movie, but it is getting attention like an Oscar winner. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:54 1
      - Hmmm. I really liked it a lot. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:55
    - [deleted] 1
      - *ding* I thought it was a B- at best. Not a Best Picture nom. - Diva Feb 17, 12:57
  - "You honour me with the acknowledgement that editing - not writing - is the most important way to convey the story." -- nm - Michael Bay Feb 17, 12:46
heh. -- (link) - zork Feb 17, 12:43 [Backboard]
ouch. good thing the skis came off right away -- nm - zork Feb 17, 12:40 2
- have they said if she's OK? it looked pretty painful. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:49 1
  - I saw her arms moving and they said she's talking but a helicopter is coming for her. The next skier was flagged down to stop higher on the course. -- nm - zork Feb 17, 12:52
In the future please do not lump Buffy in with the X-Files. Thank you. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:38 8
- Rats. -- nm - Xanmulder Feb 17, 12:45
- Angel left, the show went downhill. Mulder left, the show went downhill. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:44 6
  - slight diasagreement, the fact that Duchovny left and came back and left and so on killed the show... - Remlik Feb 17, 12:56 3
    - I thought the downturn of the writing killed the show. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:58 2
      - But how much of that was "crap we gotta do a mthyology" episode? - Remlik Feb 17, 13:05 1
        
        oooh, I thought at least one of the DD-directed episodes was complete shit. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:13
  - I don't think an actor leaving is really applicable to the current situation. - Ender Feb 17, 12:53 1
    - I agree. Just answering what you posted here. - Spawn Feb 17, 12:55
Kevin Trudeau sentenced to 30 days in jail. -- (link) - mara Feb 17, 12:38
mara, was Trudeau in the Corvette too? -- nm - zork Feb 17, 12:38 1
- Yeah, I'm an idiot. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 12:38

- Tarantino has be due since resevoir dogs -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 12:54
- Tarantino is only at 5.5 + .5 movies (1.5 being kill Bill, the + .5 being Grindhouse) . The Coens were at a dozen or with No Country, right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:40 25
  - Deathproof...while half of the Grindhouse, was a full length film. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 12:57
  - [deleted] 23
    - well that's good. because those movies SUCK...nm - x Feb 17, 12:44 2
      - What do you think of Jackie Brown? -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:09
      - Exactly. Enough that they got points off! -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:46
    - Well, then doesn't that lower Tarantino to three and a half at most? Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:43 19
      - everyone is totally overlooking his academy-worthy performances ... - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:46 2
        
        really, the directing in Reservoir Dogs was nice, but the acting was where he truly shone. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 12:48 1
        
        Verily. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:49
      - Jackie Brown is revered in inner circles. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:45 12
        
        Surely you jest. Granted I haven't visited it in at least a decade, but I gave it a few meaningful viewings at the time and... - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:47 11
        
        I think it's his best film. Robert Forster had the best performance of that year. -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:06 1
        
        It definitely shows what he can do without relying on gimmicks. - Reagen Feb 17, 13:10
        
        You need to revisit. Great stuff. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:50
        
        I don't, and don't call me Shirley. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:49
        
        you're in the freaking prairies. Do they have many film inner circles in the prairies? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:48 6
        
        *throws Winnipeg as Canada's Cultural Capital in 2010 designation at Bery to shut him up* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:50
        
        (fwiw, I kinda almost hated jackie brown) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:49 4
        
        It really grows on you. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 12:58 2
        
        that would probably be why - I only saw it once :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:13
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:59
        
        i dug it. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 12:50
      - FYI, not that I'm anti-Tarantino. Just working with the comparison. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:45 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        the Bills separately, I assume? -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 12:47
- He is due. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:37
Vonntasm! -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 12:35 1
- (this is much different than a Vonngasm) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 12:36
