The Will Ferrell/Bill Murray comparison (and by extension, the Murray/Vaughn comparison), could be simplified to Groundhog Day vs. STFIC -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:25 5

More grim auto sales numbers as Ford and Toyota post big losses in sales - Brian Dec 2, 10:11 8
- will their stocks rise if they get a loan/bailout - seems cheap to buy in at this point - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:13 7
  - There will need to be confidence that the bailout will actually do much more than buy time -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 10:15 3
    - I mean a surge on just their bailout news - not long term -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:25 2
      - That's what I was meaning, too, unfortunately -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 10:30 1

Oh fabulous! No office drama, but extreme Strata drama. - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:59
LUNCH! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:59
Okay, I've given it some thought, and if there's any actor who could be considered the "next Bill Murray", imho, it's... - znufrii Dec 2, 09:56 22
- sandler? -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 10:13 10
  - He's taken a very similar career path so far. Including an early, somewhat failed, push into drama. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 10:27 3
    - Yeah, I could see Spanglish and The Razor's Edge in the same boat. - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 10:38 2
      - I really like Punch Drunk Love, but we're in the minority. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 10:39 1
        
        I wanted to like it, but for some reason just couldn't ge through it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:44
  - You funny -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 10:18 1
    - He does have a teeny bit of a Venkman vibe to him, though. If you replace Venkman's smarm with, say, NCIS's McGeek, that is. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:23
  - with the possible execption of Punch Drunk Love, his humor is far too slapstick. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:15 3
    - 50 First Dates had a bit of that, but it had something deeper, too -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:22 2
      - I really liked that sandler/tea leoni movie from 2004 or 2005. -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 10:28 1
        
        Spanglish. I like Sandler when he isn't being a juvenile character, which he hasn't done in a while actually. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 10:41
- I would have gone with the other Seth - amoxy Dec 2, 10:11 1
  - hmmm...possible. - znufrii Dec 2, 10:19
- Closer, but no. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:58 8
  - certainly a lot closer than Ferrel or Vaughn. - znufrii Dec 2, 09:59 7
    - I don't even think he's closer if you compare say, Anchorman's smarmy to Venkman's smarmy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:00 6
      - Ferrel has always had, for me at least, this self-conscious air of "look how funny I'm being". Vaughn is pretty much of the same school. - znufrii Dec 2, 10:03 5
        
        Murray's always half a beat from looking at the camera and winking to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:10 2
        
        the difference is that he doesn't. - znufrii Dec 2, 10:12 1
        
        Wha? No, none of them actually wink at the camera. - Inigo Dec 2, 10:19
        
        I love Bill Murray, but he's the epitome of self aware comedy to me. - Inigo Dec 2, 10:09 1
        
        but he also trusts the audience to be in on it rather than constantly winking at them. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:17
Current office drama poll: Either the Tunisians who showed up unannounced and uncleared, and wanted to go to the conference (nearly causing - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 09:55 1
- Diet Coke gives you sexy elbows...they can't allow that -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 2, 10:09
Surfing in Venice -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 2, 09:53
my "office" drama is elections! excerpt from a candidate statement? sure! - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 09:50 3
- he needs to learn how to make paragraphs -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:53 1
  - they're all just so terrible. I'm trying to actually read them, but it's painful. -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 09:54
- also, we are having this weird fight in-program about eating stenchy food during class. I suppose that's drama. -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 09:52
LIR - thank you Will/Spawn for the Kiefer Sutherland Xmas Tree Attack - it cracks me up every time -- (link) - Epiphany Dec 2, 09:49 [youtube] 10
- You know you have a problem when your Halloween Costume is a bottle of your fav liquor. -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:50 9
  - Grey Goose, but then I got arrested for indecent exposure. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:52
  - L3 - SM went as Jack Daniels the year before last - says a lot. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 09:51 7
    - it irks me how many people name their pets after booze -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:02 6
      - Yeah, the implied subtext and connotation can really be detrimental to the animal's emotional strength and independence. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 10:10 1
        
        dork -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:11
      - I'm curious? why? seems natural - - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:05 3
        
        for me, it just shows how overly obsessed people are with booze. i can take it or leave it personally - zork Dec 2, 10:11 2
        
        fwiw, my aunt's 100+ animals are all named after booze. - kelly Dec 2, 10:35
        
        interesting -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:26
Interesting point that goes toward whether the GG should accept the coalition: Dion would only be an interm PM with an unknown successor. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:49 13
- What's the series of events here? Can the GG dissolve parliament and then refuse the coalition, thus spurring an election? - Mop Dec 2, 09:53 8
  - Yes. The first step is the vote of non-confidence on Monday evening. Tuesday, the PM goes to the GG and resigns, asking for an election. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:56 7
    - you think Harper will try an prorogue? - mafic Dec 2, 10:05 6
      - The decision will be made Thursday afternoon, but I'm betting no. I was forwarded an email last night that had an MP giving an assessment. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:09
      - (and would the GG accept that? be interesting if she said no.) -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:09 3
        
        I would support her if she did. Bad precident to allow PMs to prorouge to avoid a defeat. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:12 2
        
        there really no untransparently political moves left for anyone. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:31 1
        
        Which is why I'm starting to lean toward, "She's throw it to the voters to decide." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 10:33
      - ^^ try *and* prorogue^^ -- nm - mafic Dec 2, 10:05
- why was she still traveling Europe up until today? shouldn't she have come back earlier? -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:52 3
  - Her grandmother invited her on the trip so she could get over Logan, wasn't it? and didn't she go back to Yale then graduate then the series ended? -- nm - loosilu in Algiers Dec 2, 09:56 1
    - *reduces Loosi's meds* -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:00
  - I have no real problem with that. We don't want the threshold for "emergency recall" too low. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 2, 09:55
Andie: I really don't pick up on drama at the office, but there are a few minor threads I've noticed. - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:48 10
- Such a tease! -- nm - lileve Dec 2, 09:54
- oddly, my drama JUST ended. Dylan got an email (well, a facebook post) from his bro. All cool! -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 09:49 8
  - Behold, the power of ST! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:54

      - well I see your point. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:06 3
        
        that and to have some nice curry dishes -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:25 2
        
        see you are the man to ask. I want to try Thai but what is good? what would I like? - Epiphany Dec 2, 10:41 1
        
        i've never really had thai (not at a thai restaurant, maybe the odd dish here or there) and i'm not into coconut. sorry -- nm - zork Dec 2, 10:48
  - the power of TT is awesome (heh. this post was in my subject history. need to update to ST now) -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:51

        so am I, it seems -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:59
  - I think if you laid out the XY coordinates of the character, you would find it was quite two-dimensional-yes ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 09:50
- Ohh, damn. I should rent that. Haven't seen it in a while. Very cool movie. -- nm - VMan Dec 2, 09:48

  - i find it hard to disagree in ways. -- nm - zork Dec 2, 09:50 3
    - Society is the villain. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 09:52 2
      - that and laws that allow citizens to own guns - zork Dec 2, 09:54 1
