That's promising, updated the monster resume and got 2 nibbles today. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 09:54 6

    - I don't know about that exactly. He's lived it up plenty in the decade post-Titanic - Will Hunting Jun 17, 09:57 3
      - He hasn't gone the franchise route. Even Depp has a franchise. -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 10:01 1
        
        Maybe DiCaprio's just not had a franchise movie. - Will Hunting Jun 17, 10:04
      - I don't think he's eschewing stardom in his lifestyle - ty97 Jun 17, 10:00
    - really creative films and executed uniquely - lafarrow Jun 17, 09:56

  - I'm confused - are you being a jack ass, a smart ass, or a dumb ass? --nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:52 3
    - lafarrow encompasses all three in one. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 09:58 2
      - What about the one in the IM? (It should literally translate to "Glee donkey") -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:59 1
        
        I don't want to see lafarrow doing Lady Gaga showtunes. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:00
- Exactly, at least you took a shot. No harm, no foul. -- nm - Krusty Jun 17, 09:43
- oof. :( -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:42
I'm watching Ken Burns' Civil War doc and I'm wishing he had done one for the Revolutionary War. - Krusty Jun 17, 09:31 15
- I can't do Rev War. No actual photos of people to zoom in on or zoom out from. - Ken Burns Jun 17, 09:40
- That is absolutely up there for some of the best stuff ever done for TV. - Mel Profit Jun 17, 09:39

    - *pans and zooms in on a photo of Roger Clemens getting a steroid injection in the ass* -- nm - Ken Burns Jun 17, 09:39 3

        magic marker -- nm - Don Homer Jun 17, 09:42
      - Whoa. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 09:41
- I think that was the apex of Burns's achievements. Nothing else he has done really rivals it. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 09:34 4
  - you need to watch "The War" it more than rivals it -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 09:58
  - Next week my family is off to Acadia Nat'l Park in Maine inspired by his Nat'l Parks doc. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 09:37

  - (Never apologize. Insult him even worse to let him know where he stands!) -- nm - David Jun 17, 09:28 1
    - i agree - lafarrow Jun 17, 09:49
Huh, instead of buying a subcontroller/nunchuk for the PS Move you can just use a Dualshock 3 in its place. -- (link) - Ender Jun 17, 09:15 1
- but do you have to cut it in half to make it work ? -- nm - decline Jun 17, 09:17

- gawker's recap made me laugh in public. -- nm - b~bb Jun 17, 09:32
Hey, JackDawson, I said "well under 30 mins." Adjusted for the extra mileage I figure I was right on :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 17, 09:05
SYTYCD: Melinda or Adechike should go home. And getting Sonya as a choreographer is the best thing the show has done. -- nm - Dano Jun 17, 09:03 5
- Not sure if it is the due to the format change, but I really don't love any of the dancers this year. -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 09:31 1
  - It's weird watching a couple dance when it's really only about one of them. The way the All Stars were handled was weird. -- nm - Dano Jun 17, 09:36
- how would one pronounce Adechike? -- nm - decline Jun 17, 09:05 2
  - Add-ah-chee-kay -- nm - Dano Jun 17, 09:13

- Nubby mentioned it yesterday, but I still haven't seen it on my FB -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 17, 09:02
- I'm just waiting for us to be able to l"like" somebody "like"ing something. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 09:01 5
  - I like being able to say I like someone's comment that they dislike something -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 09:02
  - in addition to "Like" you should be able to "Like-like" something -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 09:02 3
    - what about "like actually like"? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:20
    - You could become Facebook official. "Carl is now in a relationship with this status update." -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 09:07
    - But before that we need the 'don't like' or 'who cares?' :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 17, 09:04
You 'BP spill is a gov't plot' newsstory of the day brought to you by North Carolina. We've really been splashing the front pages this week. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 08:54 5
- It's the heat. Gotta be. Global warming is frying brains in the South making people stupid. - TWuG Jun 17, 09:05

  - Nope (spoils) - Will Hunting Jun 17, 09:00
These 98 engagement photos are actually quite sweet, except for the barefoot ones because going barefoot is gross -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 17, 08:50
Update: Vancouver school to reprint yearbook after principal cut out all the pictures of one student due to comments he wrote -- (link) - Beaker Jun 17, 08:49 3
- vancouver island school. Laketrail is in the same schooldistrict as Vanier (courtenay, BC), where Pam Anderson went -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:17
- I wonder what the student's updated comment will be. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 08:55 1
  - "My favourite laketrail memory is the yearbook fiasco. Booyeah." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:18
some estrimates I am reading have the Afghanistan mineral wealth now estimated at $3 trillon -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 08:46 13
- hopefully someone does the right thing and makes sure the Afghan people see this money. - ty97 Jun 17, 08:51 11
  - Not to be contrary, but how do US citizens, like ourselves, reap the benefits of the natural resources mined in our country and sold? - oblique Jun 17, 08:54 10
    - [deleted]
    - royalties and wages. - Reagen Jun 17, 08:56 3

        Iraq's a case study in wasting a country's resources. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 09:02 1
        
        Most of that region is. - Will Hunting Jun 17, 09:05
    - jobs, infrastructure (through taxes and improvements necessary to care for workers) -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 08:55 4
      - And how would that be different if mining operations were to start in Afghanistan? -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 08:56 3
        
        All that money directed to the 'warlords' shell companies; below market wages if at all and they keep the billions earned. - Will Hunting Jun 17, 09:03
        
        "get in and get out" mentality I'm thinking. Get what you can while spending the least amount possible (Nigeria's oil springs to mind). -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 09:01
        
        Because it's already the most corrupt place on the pkanet, even before it realised it was sitting on a trillion dollars -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 09:00

Southwest Seizes Dozens of Human Heads -- (link) - pmb Jun 17, 08:42 4
- This is a scam by some ticketing agent wanting to be flashed by Michaela Conlin, isn't it? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 17, 08:50

from B3, and the Charlie Crist photo ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 17, 08:39 3
- Heh can't blame the guy for that... - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 17, 08:50
- "If I was still a Republican, I'd be staring at a dude." -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 08:49
- He's just trying to throw everyone off of the fact that he's one of the main politicians profiled in Outrage. -- nm - Dano Jun 17, 08:48
LIR: Good job Jack on the run!! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 17, 08:36
South Carolina just passed a law that would make sex between a student and a teacher a felony. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 08:33 17
- It's still okay to bump up their grade a letter if they appear on Sean Cody, though, right? -- nm - Dano Jun 17, 09:05
- Governors and Argentinians still okay! *high five* -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 17, 08:40
- *tires peeling out* -- nm - CCU Jun 17, 08:38
- This being SC, can we assume they've screwed it up and made it a crime for the student and not the teacher? -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 08:38 1
  - heh. I'm waiting for the 35-year old Piano Teacher who gets 10 years for having sex with a 30-year old student because the law is screwed up. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 08:41
- Glad to see they're just getting around to that. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 08:37
- This would seem to be a good thing... -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 17, 08:37 6
  - Why would this need a special law, beyond the general laws about sex with minors? -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 08:40 4
    - The age of consent is 16. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 08:43
    - This is a huge temptation. They want to make it clear? -- nm - Nightcrawler Jun 17, 08:42
    - not all students are minors? -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 08:41 1
      - Found it - age of consent in SC is 16 -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 08:42
  - Signed....decades ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 08:37
- ...so.....any job openings in North Carolina? -- nm - Professor Nubby s.i. Jun 17, 08:35
- Good thing you have nothing to teach anyone about sex -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 08:34 2
  - I'm okay. Sex with 16- and 17-year-olds are felonies, 18-year-olds are misdemeanors. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 08:45 1
    - and 19-year-olds are soon-to-be valedictorians. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 08:46
