    - People that want to tarnish their careers. -- nm - Redmond May 11, 20:10
A good NOVA West Coasters. It's about tornadoes. -- nm - Redmond May 11, 19:58
middle ages poll: do you think you would have made it to your current age if you lived in Robin Hood's time? - sherlock homie May 11, 19:52 27
- No way. The 'betes would have been the end of me at age 5. -- nm - kelly May 11, 20:11
- Close, but would probably be dead by now -- nm - amoxy May 11, 20:07
- Hell yes, I would have. -- nm - Jim May 11, 20:06

  - "The Giant is dead!" -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:59
- ruptured appendix at 18 would have sealed my fate -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 19:57 1

    - *laugheth* -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:55
- I want to say I'd be dead, but I think I'd probably be elderly and indestructible, much to the dismay of my children. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:53 2
  - although, the way I catch every virus that goes around, I probably would have died of some childhood disease. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:55 1
    - red hair? bi-polar? you'd be burned as a witch -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 23:43
- Probably not -- nm - Roger More May 11, 19:53

    - who says she's English? - loosilu May 11, 19:55 1
      - Probably about 3/4 Norwegian and 1/4 German. -- nm - mara May 11, 20:05
    - Okay, fine. I also had a birth defect that required intestinal surgery around age 3. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:55 3
      - history needs you to pass your rock stacking genes down! -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:56 2
        
        I thought this was medieval England, not ancient Egypt. -- nm - nubby May 11, 19:57 1
        
        hello! castles. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:59
- hell no. -- nm - Andie May 11, 19:53 2
  - i may not have survived birth actually. -- nm - Andie May 11, 19:53 1
    - Ditto. And my genetics would have conspired against me my whole life. - Beryllium May 11, 20:03
LIR, I was wondering why that invoked a cat story David, but wasn't going to probe such a tragic subject. - Redmond of Persia May 11, 19:39 2
- Oops wrong link... -- (link) - the liioulu without briefcase May 12, 17:12 [Backboard]
- This one not a very good portrayal of me, "introduce her to Redmond and stand back" -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 11, 19:41
I also thought that marcel said "cat" and I thought everyone was being strangely super-dickish. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:39 26
- Depends on how big a statement you want to make. -- nm - The Boondock Saints May 11, 19:45
- *laughing out loud* -- nm - mara May 11, 19:43 21
  - Oh, I was cracking up after I realized my (huge) mistake. -- nm - David May 11, 19:43 20
    - 21 years would be an amazing run for a cat. - Reagen May 11, 19:49 4
      - The maid of honor at my first wedding had one that only missed by 2 weeks. -- nm - David May 11, 19:50 3
        
        the cat i had growing up was at least 20. (we got her as an adult about 1 year old - so we never knew exactly how old she was). - Andie May 11, 19:53 2
        
        mine got to 18. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:53 1
        
        Our Lucky was over 18. Moggy only made it to about half that, but she was sickly from the get-go. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 11, 19:58
    - "Donate to Mythbusters" was the one that really conjured up distrubing images. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:45 11
      - schroedinger! -- nm - mafic May 11, 19:51
      - "today on mythbusters we are going to test the myth that cats have nine lives" -- nm - Adam and Jamie May 11, 19:47
      - If people read that thread now the way that you and I did, they will laugh for a *while*. -- nm - David May 11, 19:46 7
        
        I was just hoping that "Donate to the fire department training academy" was because they might be lonely and want a pet. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:47 6
        
        how did you interpet "donate to a high school auto shop class"? -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:48 4
        
        By that point, I just thought everyone had lost their freakin minds. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:49 3
        
        I was about to post "I sold mine to my sister, and she used the good parts from mine to fix hers up" -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:50 2
        
        At least it wasn't "Have some drinks, get inside her one last time and then have her crushed into a cube." nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:53
        
        Cat belong dead! -- nm - Frankenkitty May 11, 19:53
        
        well, firemen do need to train on getting them out of trees -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:48
      - the "fire fire fire fire" one totally cracked me up. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:45
    - I feel stupid for not realizng why you posted what you did. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:44 2
      - I would imagine it seemed like the mother of all non sequiturs. -- nm - David May 11, 19:45 1
        
        at least you did not make the opposite mistake, and tell him to take his cat to a junk yard. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:46
- "take her for a drive, get out for a romantic walk but push her off a bridge" -- nm - David May 11, 19:42 1
  - I know, right? I was baffled. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:44
- "shove it off a cliff" does seem rather cold in that case. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:39
So the reason I didn't get my Federal Tax return yet is? - Redmond of Persia May 11, 19:27 13
- Spoilers - Redmond May 11, 19:49
- Nobody cares, but "return" is what you send then. "Refund" is what they send you. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:44 1
  - Yeah, no joke here. The lady explained that same thing to me when I made the same mistake on the phone. -- nm - Redmond May 11, 19:48
- you haven't filed taxes since 1983 -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 19:40 1
  - i guess they already locked up CY in debtor's prison -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:47
- e] you filed for an extension until the 10/15 deadline -- nm - peglegpete May 11, 19:37
- oh *fuck*! today is the 11th? -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:30 5
  - shit. i need to drive to the post office. see ya later, y'all -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:32 4
    - ? -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 11, 19:32 3
      - RI had a filing extension b/c of the flooding last month. -- nm - kelly May 11, 19:35 1
        
        OH! -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 11, 19:35
      - probably his Secret Stalker gift needs to be mailed. - loosilu May 11, 19:33
- knowing you, (e) all of the above -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:28
So if Robin Hood only makes 100m its a bomb? -- nm - zeitgeist May 11, 19:20 36
- It would depend on worldwide box office. That almost saved Kingdom of Heaven. -- nm - David May 11, 19:27
- is it just me, or to RCROW and CBLAN seem about 20 years too old for their roles? -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:24 34
  - The characters *look* older than they are. Times were tough. It makes sense for older actors to play them. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:46 21
    - Now we know where that $111k worth of publicity went. They bought Mara. -- nm - David May 11, 19:48 1
      - Fat Tire beer and ukelele's are expensive! -- nm - Remlik May 11, 20:07
    - I wonder if that's just a stupid assumption on our part. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:47 18
      - you don't have to imagine too hard - look at photos of the Depression or that Afghani woman on the cover of NG. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:50 17
        
        Exactly. You can see it right now among the impoverished. -- nm - mara May 11, 19:51 16
        
        And Australians. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 19:54 11
        
        I have worn sunscreen daily since age 25. it really works. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:58 2
        
        except for the rickets. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 20:01 1
        
        Actually, I take vitamin D for this exact reason. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:01
        
        Nicole Kidman must be dunked in a vat of Oil of Olay each morning. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:57 7
        
        I don't think she has actually lived in Oz in a very long time, but she has said she stays out of the sun. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:00 6
        
        she left when she came to the US to make Days of Thunder with Cruise, so she grew up there. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:01 5
        
        I know, but she was pretty young at that point. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:03 2
        
        Lets just let this one go. The point is, Australians are *wrinkly*. nm - ralph wiggum May 11, 20:06 1
        
        No way man! I still got it! -- nm - Roger More May 11, 20:08
        
        Days of Thunder is 20 years ago. This message brought by "making you feel old" -- nm - Roger More May 11, 20:03 1
        
        oh, i know. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:04
        
        although to be complete, they should all have terrible teeth. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:52 3
        
        If I did not die of an abscess, I am sure I would have been toothless before 30 (if not 20). I have genetically thin enamel. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 20:06
        
        when we went to see Gunless, my friends said his hair was distracting, i said his perfectly white even teeth were more distracting. -- nm - Andie May 11, 20:01
        
        Ha! -- nm - mara May 11, 19:54
  - Average lifespan in that era was 33. Robin Hood would have been 17-19. Crowe is 46. (nm) - David May 11, 19:32 7
    - It was that low because so many people didn't make it out of childhood. - Reagen May 11, 19:35 5
      - don't get him started on average height either -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 19:36 1
        
        well that's a fair point since even at 5-11, Crowe would have been a giant in that time. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 19:37
      - it would be more helpful to know the median. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:36
      - "Less than 1% of the population lived to 45." -- nm - David May 11, 19:36 1
        
        yeah, but the aristocracy (which Robin Hood might have been) would be that 1%. - mafic May 11, 19:50
    - oh, so it's not just me. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:33
  - They'll cast Taylor Lautner in the re-re-boot. -- nm - Dano May 11, 19:31
  - It's Ridley Scott. -- nm - nubby May 11, 19:29
  - eh, I'm alright with it. no reason robin hood had to start in his 20s. - mafic May 11, 19:29
  - perhaps movie wise, but Robin did spend years in the Crusades. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:28
Rey Mysterio on the way out of WWE....going to have knee surgery and then may not come back -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:14 10
- I just went and voted for Hero House. -- nm - loosilu May 11, 19:18 9
  - hmph -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:23
  - Que? -- nm - David May 11, 19:20 6
    - Remlik asked us to vote for DC in the Best of Indy poll. -- (link) - loosilu May 11, 19:23 5
      - Ooh, Comic Carnival...a mysterious third competitor. -- nm - David May 11, 19:25 4
        
        They're hosting a Heroclix tournament on May 16. I wonder how strong Spawn's loyalty to Pete is. -- nm - David May 11, 19:33
        
        they're the Comic Book Guy of Indy. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:33 2
        
        *bites tongue* -- nm - David May 11, 19:33 1
        
        hey I actually want customers...they don't -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:35
  - wow, you are a huge 619 fan. who knew? -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:19
Repost for the night crew - ST Biggest Loser, Week 1 Rankings... - MojaveMeg May 11, 19:10
What is the difference between "the Cake version" and "the TV theme version"? - TFox May 11, 19:05 12
- it's actually good. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 19:08
- Other than the TV version isn't recorded by Cake? It lacks their vocals, has different "nah, nah" vocals, added SFX. -- nm - TWuG May 11, 19:08 10
  - I dunno, I sliced a chunk out of the regular song and it sounds exactly like the theme music. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 11, 19:25 1
    - I think the bass line is the same. The drums may be and the "nah" stuff might be, but there are major differences - TWuG May 11, 19:33
  - I strongly suspect this is not true. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm not. -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:10 7
    - 1: It *does* lack their vocals. So you're wrong there. 2: It *does* have added sound effects, so you are wrong there. - TWuG May 11, 19:19 2
      - 1. What you said was not true. So I happened to be right there. -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:20 1
        
        As am I. It's not the same. It may be an instrumental by Cake, but it is NOT the same as the non-instrumental that seems to be all I can find. - TWuG May 11, 19:24
    - Wikipedia says "instrumental version", but definitely by Cake. - Super-helpful Vermin May 11, 19:13 3
      - I don't *want* the non-instrumental Cake version because it SUCKS and it will kill my brain to have to listen to it - TWuG May 11, 19:21 2
        
        Best of luck, Veruca. -- nm - TFox May 11, 19:24 1
        
        ~can't fight the seether~ -- nm - Dano May 11, 19:29
so...more an "important" episode than it was a good one. -- nm - znufrii May 11, 19:04 2
- well ... (not so spoilery ...) - i'm not dead yet ! May 11, 19:05 1
  - oh, definitely -- nm - znufrii May 11, 19:06
LOST spoilery stuff ... - i'm not dead yet ! May 11, 19:04 3
- and another thing ... - i'm not dead yet ! May 11, 19:06 2
  - i think (spoilers) - Buzz May 11, 19:11
  - spoiler - znufrii May 11, 19:07
Boo! -- nm - lileve May 11, 19:03 2
