  - He swabs the deck with the competition -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:31

  - Both solid choices as well. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:29
- Softer voiced rapper that did a verse on Groove Is In The Heart? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:23 1
  - [deleted]
- He gets some competition from Snoop and Rakim, but yeah, one of the best ever. - TFox Dec 1, 11:19 8
  - In fact, good way to know he has fantastic flow: he wrote a song with only 1 verse that he just repeated, and it's still one of my favorites ever. - TFox Dec 1, 11:23
  - I *love* rakim. -- nm - reindeer and elves love mandy lane Dec 1, 11:22 4
    - The way his style holds up almost 20 years later is almost unparalleled. He gets more impressive with time. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:24 3
      - agreed...I listen to it and it still holds up. - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:25
      - we listened to him at work a lot this summer. good times. good times. -- nm - reindeer and elves love mandy lane Dec 1, 11:25 1
        
        Fun game when listening to Rakim now: try to find lines that haven't been bitten by other rappers for their own songs. - TFox Dec 1, 11:27
  - [deleted] 1
    - Common could use a change of pace like that. He's gotten a little one note for my taste the last couple times out. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:28
- I take the warning on the box seriously. Do Not Insert In Ear Canal -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:19 1
  - L4 -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 1, 11:22
- I'm sorry, I just can't take a guy who's stage name is Q-Tip seriously. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:17 2
  - seriously... - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:19
  - hopefully he's not blond. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:18
Just got Bioshock from one of the student workers for $20. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:13 2
- For the PC? It was on sale on Friday on Amazon for $20. I think Spore is $20 today. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 11:15 1
  - 360. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:24
AVClub.com asks: What movie have you spent the most time arguing about? -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 1, 11:08 41

- exorcist 3, I think. -- nm - reindeer and elves love mandy lane Dec 1, 11:23
- Blair Witch 2. nm - Jim Dec 1, 11:22
- I think Gangs of New York. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:17 2
  - If it wasn't for DDL that would be unwatchable imo. -- nm - Loyola Dec 1, 11:21 1
    - for me, CDIAZ and LDICA are both bad enough to cancel him out. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:23
- BLAIR, the Prequels, Lord of the Rings Trilogy. - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:16 9
  - [deleted]
  - Yeah, those are all good.....I mean shitty....I mean good....I mean.....wtph?!? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 11:17
  - What's there to argue about with Pearl Harbor? - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:16 6
    - we debated it pretty hard prior to release as I recall. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:17 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        The saddest part of that movie is we won't get a chance to film at Pearl Harbor for another generation. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:21 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Remember when Josh Hartnett was the Next Big Thing? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:24 1
        
        Whatever star he had was destroyed with that 40 days with no sex movie. -- nm - Loyola Dec 1, 11:28
- Recently? I Am Legend. And TT actually presented a cogent argument that made me reassess my opinion. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:14
- I'm not sure I've ever seriously argued about a movie, but I really hated A.I. and I got argued *at* about it. :) -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:14
- I don't argue about movies. You either accept my opinion, as I will accept yours - Mr. Havens Dec 1, 11:14 1
  - Pulp Fiction is a classic. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:28
- Probably one of the Star Wars prequels. Or, oh wait! I got it. Starship Troopers. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:14
- In real life: Twister or Fifth Element Online: AI -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:11 13
  - Not a good film worthy of repeat viewing amongst the three. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:13 12
    - *shakes head* Twister is a fantastic popcorn movie. Sit back, shut off brain, laugh at PSHOF and enjoy 120 minutes of goofy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:14 5
      - I hate "popcorn" movies. If I have to shut off my brain to get through the fim, then the film fails as entertainment. - TWuG Dec 1, 11:18 4
        
        I agree. There are plenty of action movies that let me leave my brain on, and still enjoy it. - Inigo Dec 1, 11:20 2
        
        There's suspending disbelief and then there's suspending disbelief. - TWuG Dec 1, 11:27 1
        
        Armageddon falls into the "so bad it's good" category for me. I know it's a big dumb movie, but I'm still entertained by it every time I watch it -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 11:31
        
        Word. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:19
    - Agreed on the first two. Strongly disagree on the last. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:14 5
      - AI is all kinds of bad. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:16 4
        
        not *all* kinds, just some of them. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:19
        
        *chest bump* -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:17 2
        
        *cops a feel* -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:20
        
        I think you mean Chex bump. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:18
- [deleted] 1
  - Me too. -- nm - Loyola Dec 1, 11:15
- [deleted]
- Hukkle -- nm - Dano Dec 1, 11:10
- Probably Titanic. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:09
Bill Duff has a show on the History Channel? How did I not know this? - David Dec 1, 11:07 1
- Clearly, your fandom is lacking. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:07
[deleted] 12
- i thought "fooled around" meant anything up to sex.. - colin Dec 1, 11:07 2
  - *ding* -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:11
  - [deleted]
- What would you say? -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:07 3
  - "I intercoursed last night." - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:10
  - [deleted] 1
    - Ah, OK. I think people have a certain shame that makes them use the euphemism. (I blame the Puritans) -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:11
- uh, to some people that's what fooling around means. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:05 4
  - I always considered that "hooking up" -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:05 3
    - "I hooked up last night." - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:15
    - to me hooking up always meant just making out. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:06 1
      - to me that would be "making out"... - znufrii Dec 1, 11:07
loosi, "always"? Madonna used to drink, smoke, use drugs and have indiscriminate sex with multiple partners, male and female, at the same.time. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 1, 11:04 5
- I said nothing about sex. the goss I always heard is that she didn't drink or smoke. Maybe your intel is better. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:04 4
  - Where's Stacy when we need her? -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:11 1
    - wait. stacy, madonna, *and* brad pitt are all *not here.* they must be having a threesome! -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 11:14
  - She did both. In movies, in videos, on stage, and in nightclubs. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 1, 11:07 1
    - In a box. With a fox. I will eat green eggs and ham! I will eat them, Madonna I am! -- nm - Madonna SI Dec 1, 11:09
Reagen...Goofed and left it on B3...If you're giving a three month window, I'll take the odds on an election. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:00 7
- oh, I won't take that. I just don't think there'll be one dropped next week. - Reagen Dec 1, 11:02 6
  - I've been reading and the arguments tend to be two-fold... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:08 5
    - #2 gets the GG explicitly involved in the politics of the country, which seems like much more of a non-starter to me. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:12 4
      - That's the role though. The same way that the coalition is a part of the process, the GG "looking out for national interests" does as well. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:14 3
        
        I think they're dreaming if they think they can get 2 1/2 years, or even 1 out of this, but they have to be given the shot. - Reagen Dec 1, 11:16 2
        
        That's the point though...They don't. There's no historical precidence for the #2 and #3 to be accepted. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:21 1
        
        Hmm? Sure there is. That's what precipitated King-Byng. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:27
I had the most amazing lemon layer cake for lunch. oh. my. GOD. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:00
LIR - TAR ponderings - Roger More Dec 1, 10:59 4
- spoilerish (speculation) - Dano Dec 1, 11:09 2
  - I'm not sure that the show would be as interesting without these things. - Roger More Dec 1, 11:18
  - (spoiler comments) - Mop Dec 1, 11:12
- last night I noticed some green still in Tina's hair -- nm - peglegpete Dec 1, 11:07
Pay down the mortgage and silent treatment is crap! -- nm - lileve Dec 1, 10:57
Someone here made the most delicious chex mix. It's spicy and sweet at the same time. It's just...amazing. -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 10:56 7
- I always think I will hate Chex Mix. Then I start eating, and can't stop. -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:03 1
  - Pub Mix from Tarjay is evil in a plastic jar. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 11:05
- delicious sex mix? -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:00 3
  - I would have sex with this. It's that good. -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:02 2
    - How You Doin? -- nm - Sweet/Spicy Chex Mix SI Dec 1, 11:07 1

- I normally make mine with Tabscao flavored Season Salt but can't find it anymore - Pippy Dec 1, 10:57
So ST/TT poll who will be getting 'Tales of Beedle the Bard' this week when it comes out - eag Dec 1, 10:54 6
- I forgot it on my christmas list. Crap. -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:04 2
  - Oh wait, secret stalker--it's pretty cheap at amazon!!! -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:12
  - oh, i can add this! *kisses you* -- nm - El Fandie Dec 1, 11:11
- Deluxe one should be arriving at my house on Friday. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:00
- I will be getting it, but as a Christmas gift for someone, so I'll probably wait to see if she gets it herself this week before buying it for her. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 10:56

- Where is my mea culpa from Ang Lee for Brokeback Mountain? - David Dec 1, 10:59 2
  - Do you really want that? After his lame Oscar acceptance speech, he'd probably complain how giving you $15 gave him a broke back. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:02 1
    - the only un-lame thing ang lee has ever done was hire yuen woo ping to help make crouching tiger watchable....nm - x Dec 1, 11:05
- Just random connection...I used to work at a theater where George Moscone's son was a resident director -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 1, 10:59
- ann's message re: this film was: OMG milk amazing. penn is titan. -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 10:58 4
  - No amount of praise would ever get me to suggest he deserves an Oscar for anything. He's on my laminated list of hated actors. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 11:08
  - [deleted] 2
    - Don't think his career is at that level with most oscar voters yet...David Lynch first -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 1, 11:03 1
      - [deleted]
- Or at least to the extent that Hollywood feels like that is the public's perception, legitimate or not. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 10:56
- Milk gets it as a backlash against Prop 8. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 10:55 3
  - [deleted]
  - hmmmmmmm - interesting - Pippy Dec 1, 10:56 1
    - I'm sure Penn is good, if you like Penn. I *hate, loathe, despise* his acting. He'll get votes for being good, he'll get more because of Prop 8. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 11:13
oooh, Twug was so close but went over. $20, including bullets. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 10:53 4
- yikes.. i'm sure that's quality. -- nm - colin Dec 1, 10:58 2
  - I'm sure it works great, and if it doesn't, you get another. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 10:59 1
    - hurray for disposable guns! - colin Dec 1, 11:04
- congrats, Reagen. -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 1, 10:53
$!@#, a dude outside my office went on and on about a cockroach in our kitchenette, and in all the *talking* about it, let it get away. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 10:52 7
- update, lyc: - Max Dec 1, 11:06
- Dude, cockroaches never live alone. The one that got away isn't the problem, it's the thousands you don't see. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 10:53 2
  - don't judge me. My life is very fufilling. -- nm - single cockroach Dec 1, 10:56 1
    - Look! Isn't it cute that he lives alone? -- nm - Thousand of married cockroaches Dec 1, 10:59
- Enjoy your lunches, everybody! -- nm - Max Dec 1, 10:52
- if you love something, max, you need to set it free. -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 10:52 1
  - this dude apparently loves his inner wuss. -- nm - Max Dec 1, 10:53
