Stephane Dion is official the coalition's choice for PM. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 12:01 2
- forget that QB TD pass bet idea from this morning, what odds could you have gotten on Oct. 15 of Stephane Dion ever becoming PM? - Reagen Dec 1, 12:03 1
  - It's why he grudgingly held on to the leadership last month. He knew there would be a chance. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 12:09
so should I start watching sons of anarchy? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 1, 11:57 4
- i think i'm going to watch this....nm - x Dec 1, 12:01 3
  - me too. I think I'll grab it during the holidays. -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 12:04
  - not sure if this is a positive or a negative/ -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 1, 12:04
  - I've been reading alittle about it as well and it sounds interesting. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 12:03

  - I love it when sports media collides with real world stuff, like how many tackles he got on Sunday is somehow relevant. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 12:04
- what a douche -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 12:00
- "visibly upset" = "cryin' like a big old girl". Dumbass. -- nm - Diva Dec 1, 11:59
- "out of"? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:58
- Plaxio Burress is still relevant? -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 1, 11:57 1
  - after he shot himself, sure -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 11:58
So, I will be visiting Joshua Tree Nat'l Park for the first time ever. Any trails or activities that are not to be missed? - con_carne Dec 1, 11:53 11
- say hi to johnette napolitano for me! -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 12:00
- Remember to step on a couple of 4,000-year-old trees. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:59
- also, the annual Tamale Festival in Indio this coming weekend -- nm - peglegpete Dec 1, 11:59 2
  - Ooh, nice -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:59 1
    - one of the local churches sponsors it. I like desert tamale's best -- nm - peglegpete Dec 1, 12:01
- Look for Gram Parsons' memorial. The plaque is gone but there are still markings out there. -- nm - jnine Dec 1, 11:58
- did you ask their visitors centre what is availible? -- nm - peglegpete Dec 1, 11:58 1
  - Not yet, but I am finding plenty of information on the website. I'm sorting through it -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 12:01
- I hear there's a great ice skating rink there. - CrankYanker Dec 1, 11:57
- Dropping acid and sitting near a tree for a day -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 1, 11:56 1
  - I wish :-) -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:57
Very amusing Big Bang Theory repeat on tonight. nm - Jovian Dec 1, 11:47 16
- This has leapt HIMYM and is now my 2nd favorite show on Monday nights. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:48 15
  - I've tried watching this show, but it's just horribly unfunny. It's like they're trying to make "Revenge of the Nerds V: 2008." - JaxSean Dec 1, 11:56 1
    - Yeah, I really can't see the point on this one. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 12:02
  - oh yes. This is a T1 show and has surpassed The Office as my favorite comedy on tv. nm - Jovian Dec 1, 11:50
  - This is your crazy day. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:49 7
    - I'll go one step further: if forced to choose between blasting Penny on BBT or Robin on HIMYM, I have no idea who I'd pick. - TFox Dec 1, 11:54 6
      - That is the only sense you have made today. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:55 5
        
        Footnote: Robin is not even the hottest girl on HIMYM, let-alone CBS Monday night. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:56 4
        
        You're a Wendy the Waitress guy, aren't you? -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 1, 12:04
        
        Are you counting Sarah Chalke, b/c she's got Lily smoked. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 12:01 2
        
        This episode of TFox's Crazy Monday is brought to you by? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 12:02 1
        
        It's good to know that in the Hypothetical Jam Every Chick In Hollywood Chamber, we won't be forced to argue. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 12:04
  - It bothers me that BBT and 2 1/2 Men are succesful. They looked so stupid when they came out -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:49 3
    - Still, the most bothersome thing about CBS Monday is the lack of The Class. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 1, 12:05
    - lol its funny, I used to feel this way about the entire CBS Monday night lineup...till I started watched Big Bang Theory. nm - Jovian Dec 1, 11:51
    - 2.5 Men is still unwatchable for me, and I didn't even bother with BBT last year, but now I kinda love it. - TFox Dec 1, 11:51
Obama lists transition donors. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 1, 11:44 3
- also -- (link) - znufrii Dec 1, 11:48
- There's a name I recognize. Edgar Bronfman Jr., $5000. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:47 1
  - haha, vivendi universal *snicker*....nm - x Dec 1, 11:49
The trailer to Duplicity plays like it's meant to be Oceans 14. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:43 1
- right? it looks pretty decent. -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 12:01
Secret stalker: I have forgotten to put Beedle the Bard on any of my family christmas lists. - Amy Dec 1, 11:38
My mother has a TomTom that she used to direct us from Texas to Florida (as if you could get lost, but still....). It has voices to choose from.... - ty97 Dec 1, 11:38 7
- TomTom: Continue on Interstate 10...Continue on Interstate 10...Continue on Interstate 10... -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 1, 12:12
- what is a tom tom? -- nm - santa claus loves mandy lane Dec 1, 12:02 1
  - A portable GPS nav device. -- nm - TWuG Dec 1, 12:04
- Does your mother laugh whenever she says TomTom with you in the car? -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:47
- I have a TomTom, but when I ask him for directions, we always end up at McDonalds with the big play structure. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:45
- You should buy her the John Cleese voice or the Mr. T -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:39 1
  - I pity the fool who don't turn right on Main! -- nm - The Mr. T Tom-Tom Dec 1, 11:57
Phone is ringin'. Oh my god. - TFox Dec 1, 11:37 5
- Is there an animal in trouble? -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:43 1
  - Save the Nutcracker next week! - TFox Dec 1, 11:44
- The telephone is ringing, is that my mother on the phone?? -- nm - Jim Dec 1, 11:43
- good earworm! -- nm - kelly Dec 1, 11:41
- It's coming from inside the house! -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:39
im sure st knows all about the cannon camera loyalty program right? -- (link) - tRuMaN Dec 1, 11:34 6
- Hmm, I wonder if I threw out the one that died a couple of years back? That would give me 2 working Canons. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 1, 11:38
- Wow. How 'bout that. Canons rock (except for the lack of a pop-out LCD). -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:37 3
  - My canon has a pop-out LCD -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 11:48 2
    - I haven't seen a Canon in years that does this. What model? -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:48 1
      - PowerShot A610, the LCD panel flips out and pivots around, so you can do self-portraits -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 11:54
- "cannon camera loyalty pr0n" -- nm - what znufrii read Dec 1, 11:36
The end result of the festivities going on in Canada right now: Dion's going down, but he's taking Harper with him. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:34 6
- I can agree with you there. It's scorched earth right now. - Reagen Dec 1, 11:49
- I dread the next Tory leadership. At this time, I like none of the "contenders". -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:44 4
  - Dion's play is going to result with you as PM. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:48 3
    - At this point, President of Alsaskitobia is also a possibility. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:51 2
      - predicting what's going to happen is like predicting the weather, but what do you think happens to Harper if the opp pulls it off? - Reagen Dec 1, 12:00 1
        
        I think it depends on his read of events. If he thinks that a short sojorn to the lefthand bench leads to a winter election... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 12:05
*flexes* Shipping for Tuesday: Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:34 2
- Me too! Hopefully I will get Wanted and The Longshots shipped tomorrow. -- nm - kelly Dec 1, 11:36
- Ditto. Should have Wanted and either Tropic Thunder or Step Brothers shipping tomorrow. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:35
*inserts DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince* -- nm - budice Dec 1, 11:33 1
- Not in your ear canal! -- nm - Johnson and Johnson Dec 1, 11:34
This is all kinds of funny. -- (link) - TWuG Dec 1, 11:33
What movie do you think TT/ST has argued about the most? -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:32 76
- A.I -- nm - eag Dec 1, 11:43 1
  - That's my answer too. -- nm - jnine Dec 1, 12:04
- Superman, Batman, STAR 1-3, LRDR 1-3? -- nm - budice Dec 1, 11:41 13
  - There have been arguements over LRDR 1-3? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:43 12
    - I think they are three separate movies. What do you think? -- nm - con_carne Dec 1, 11:47 4
      - see? mentally compromised. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:53 3
        
        Well, seeing as how I have only watched the first two, I agree with him. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:57 2
        
        see? mentally compromised. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 12:02 1
        
        Thanks to TTSS, I own it! - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 12:06
    - only by the insane or mentally compromised. -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:44
    - OVER-RATED *ClapClap...ClapClapClap* OVER-RATED -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:43 5
      - I'm surprised at how clearly that came across in a text post. Well done. I don't agree, but well done. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:49
      - So, a good vs great arguement? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:44 3
        
        I think they're okay movies, but nothing that makes me think it's worthy of 11 Oscars or whatnot. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:47 2
        
        I will agree with this to a point. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:53
        
        *puts you back on the list* -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:51
- I'd go with Titanic for either of mandy's criteria. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:40
- movie or box office potential? I owuld guess blair witch for the latter, -- nm - reindeer and elves love mandy lane Dec 1, 11:37 1
  - Either. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:39
- Anchorman -- nm - ty97 Dec 1, 11:36
- one of my favorite TT arguments ever is the viking argument. -- nm - reindeer and elves love mandy lane Dec 1, 11:35
- Starship Troopers. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:34 4
  - in my top 20 scifi flicks all time -- nm - Jovian Dec 1, 11:48
  - in my top 20 scifi flicks all time -- nm - Jovian Dec 1, 11:48
  - Also sucks :) - oblique Dec 1, 11:36 1
    - Oh, no doubt it sucked. Even with the kitsch of Doogie Howser as a gestapo psychic, it still sucked. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:40

  - I think the only argument we've ever had on Star Wars was whether everyone had seen it or not - Mr. Havens Dec 1, 12:01
- Matrix 2 - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:34 42
  - You are on the "It kicked ass" side correct? I am there with you. -- nm - Shaun Dec 1, 11:35 37
    - I think it's as perfect a bridge sequel as exists. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:35 36
      - I enjoyed the movie when I saw it in theatres, but by the time MTRX3 came out I just wasn't interested, for some reason. - Roger More Dec 1, 11:37 5
        
        It did not get me excited for the third one. That is for sure. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:38 4
        
        Even more than TDK? -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 11:42 3
        
        Not exactly. TDK is a perfect movie but it really only has a single cliff hanger aspect to it. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:44 2
        
        I know - it was a joke. But it was the only other sequel I could think of that was comparable. -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 11:46 1
        
        heh. Knew you were joking, but it was an interesting train of thought to go on. -- nmbcc - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:47
      - Four words. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:36 21
        
        Did George and them have a clear plan for Return of the Jedi when they made it? - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:37 20
        
        Didn't Lucas have six films planned before even Star Wars came out? (Not that he stuck to that plan at all...) -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:39 14
        
        I don't think we'll ever know... - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:43 12
        
        From all that I have read, the Vader idea was always firmly in place. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:46 11
        
        weird...I thought I read recently that this point was up in the air. - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:48 10
        
        Ah, I have not read much on the subject the last few years, so there could be a new telling. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:52
        
        IMO, Lucas has changed his story on the genesis of Star Wars so many times that it's hard to believe what is the truth now. - Inigo Dec 1, 11:50 8
        
        I still hold to the idea that episode nine would end with Threepio telling the entire story to a huge group. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:54
        
        Agreed. I think there's a ton of chaff on this. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:54
        
        I think he had ideas about where he wanted to go, but they only became definite when he sat down and wrote the script -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 11:52
        
        Leia is Luke's brother? -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:52 4
        
        She's become mannish in her old age. -- nm - Inigo Dec 1, 11:54 2

        *QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!* -- nm - Shrinking Donald Duck Dec 1, 12:04
        
        yeah, right, and Darth Vader's his father, good one there. like anyone's going to believe that! -- nm - znufrii Dec 1, 11:54
        
        He wanted to, but his planning had a love triangle of Luke, Leia and Han for a while - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:40
        
        Yes, they did. Back then, sequels did not roll out yearly. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:39
        
        If it is the perfect bridge because it is a bridge made of shit that then leads to shit, then sure, I'll concede it. - TFox Dec 1, 11:39 3
        
        The trouble with the Matrix sequels is that they totally started taking it all too seriously. The first one was fun. -- nm - Amy Dec 1, 11:47 2
        
        My problem with the sequels was that they wrote themselves out of any sense of danger or excitement. In the first, you didn't know what would happen - oblique Dec 1, 11:56 1
        
        I still think they should have all merged and formed Mecha Agent Smith. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 12:00
      - Pirates 2. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 11:36 7
        
        The key with bridge sequels; they can't suck on their own. Pirates 2 was so mediocre. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:36 6
        
        It had the waterwheel sword fight! Maybe the most fun sequence in the whole trilogy. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 11:47 2
        
        the high mark for me was... - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:50
        
        That's the only part that felt like it belonged in Pirates 1. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:48
        
        *glove slap* pistols at dawn... -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:44 2
        
        *double glove slap* that's for Lord of the Rings... -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 1, 11:47 1
        
        Act right Gimli, or i'll do what Petey couldn't do and edit your screen time down to nothingness. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:49
  - Still haven't watched Matrix 3 - oblique Dec 1, 11:34 3
    - And that's where david and I part ways. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:36 2
      - so if you hated #3, but think #2 is the perfect sequel bridge, does not that require #2 to suck, cause its hard to bridge from great to hate in one - tRuMaN Dec 1, 11:41 1
        
        Not at all. #2's goal was to leave you with a cliffhangar for #3's. That they so thoroughly dropped the ball in Revolutions isn't an indictment on - Will Hunting Dec 1, 11:43
- Pulp Fiction -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:33 4
  - What's there to argue about? It sucks -- nm - oblique Dec 1, 11:34 3
    - hmmmm...*makes a note on your chart* -- nm - kilbo's shrink Dec 1, 11:35
    - You realize that you and Havens are sitting in a tree now, right? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 1, 11:35 1
