Hey Carmike, way to get on the ball with the 3D glasses for kids. Good thing no previous 3D movie was kid-oriented. -- nm - Mop Jun 20, 18:30 1

Hmmm, I haven't seen anybody mention the best part of Toy Story 3 yet... *spoils* - Ender Jun 20, 18:18
As much as I like the movie, the dialog in Deep Blue Sea is really bad -- nm - prayformojo Jun 20, 18:15 2
- Huh, I was just thinking "Deep Blue Sea" earlier today. -- nm - Mop Jun 20, 18:22 1
  - It was on TNT yesterday I think -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 20, 18:30
doh, that's his entire day right there -- nm - Redmond Jun 20, 18:13
screw you, frenchy -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 18:07 1
- seems like he could have taken at least one more club there. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 18:08
Everyone's commenting on the soccer drama, but I think the Lakers/Celtics had similar incidents too. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 20, 18:02

Okay, going to give Scoundrels a shot. -- nm - Dano Jun 20, 17:53 1
- Me too -- nm - Epiphany Jun 20, 17:54
Poor Dano. Amanda Bynes tweeted her retirement from acting. nm - Dignan Jun 20, 17:50 5
- Amanda, please. -- nm - Qale Jun 20, 18:34
- Presumably so she can pursue a career in physics. -- nm - Dano Jun 20, 17:54
- Not impossible that she was hacked, though. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 17:53 2
  - She never responded when I tweeted to her that I wanted to peel her skin. -- nm - Dano Jun 20, 17:55 1
    - She did say "I hate perverted dudes ew." - Callisto Jun 20, 18:03
Bunker time! -- nm - Redmond Jun 20, 17:49
thank you, USGA, for another thrilling final round that was exciting to watch at every turn. but hey, at least nobody's going to be under par - chuckles Jun 20, 17:49 6
- I ain't sure why you're bemoaning the USGA here; these guys played like dogshit - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:54 5
  - cause they set the courses up to be survived, not conquered. and it's boring as hell to watch who can fail least coming home -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 17:56 4
    - If you could hit a fairway here; and hit proper distances and putt; you could score here. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:57 3
      - except nobody did. and these are the best in the world - chuckles Jun 20, 17:58 2
        
        Hah! Because of this thread I just figured out who you are on Facebook. - Redmond Jun 20, 18:04
        
        What, hitting fairways (these ain't 25yds wide)....or absurd rough? - Will Hunting Jun 20, 18:02

- No more stolen bases, please! - Black Rabbit Jun 20, 17:42
I think refereeing in the World Cup is pretty much a joke at this point. -- nm - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:26 5
- between this, the NBA and the MLB, clearly the only solution is to get rid of all referees and let them play -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 17:27 4
  - I say red card the players that dive so they miss the next game and the offending team goes down a player for the rest of the game. Along with my - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:39 2
    - give them a red card if they dive and then act like they are hurt. - tRuMaN Jun 20, 17:49 1
      - word. -- nm - Beaker Jun 20, 17:50
  - "Let them play!""Let them play!""Let them play!" -- nm - Coach Leak Jun 20, 17:31
I hate to sound like a commercial, but the Gilette Proglide is awesome. It was so smooth, at first I wondered if it really worked. -- nm - Mop Jun 20, 17:25 19
- Heh, I did in fact edit one of the commercial for it! :) -- nm - Guigue Jun 20, 17:47
- On a related note, I tried the Schick Hydro 5 today after over a decade with my Mach 3... its magical. -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 17:27 16
  - i've used the same sensor (sometimes with the tri-blades) for 18 years -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 17:28 15
    - I'm oddly emotional about the possibility of switching from the Mach 3. It's been a trusted companion for a long time. - TFox Jun 20, 17:29
    - You guys are all relics of a bygone era. - Black Rabbit Jun 20, 17:29 13
      - Electric shavers absolutely suck and take way to long to shave. -- nm - Redmond Jun 20, 17:39 7
        
        Too long? - Black Rabbit Jun 20, 17:40 6
        
        don't bother shaving - chuckles Jun 20, 17:47
        
        I have a gizmo that heats up the shaving cream from any can. Hot lather shave is da bomb. - Redmond Jun 20, 17:42 4
        
        This device is awesome -- (link) - Redmond Jun 20, 17:43 [Image] 2
        
        If bery would get off his ass and allow avatars I would show you my awesome device. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 20, 17:45 1

- Psst...4 years :) -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:16 1
  - Yeh after I posted this - eag Jun 20, 17:28
Why the hell did he hit off that? - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:12 2
- the only thing i can think is that taking relief would not have improved his lie -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 17:12 1
  - It really is like none of these guys are really wanting to win. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:16
"BP: Worst-case scenario is 4.2 million gallons daily in Gulf" ... because their previous estimates were so great. Let's double it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:01
One day just falling to the ground in soccer will get you a red card -- nm - karl_S Jun 20, 16:52 21
- I assume you are talking about the Italians, but it's kind of hard to tell today. -- nm - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:30 2
  - My favourite was when the ref asked the Brazilian player if he had if he had touched the ball with an arm. That might have worked when - H-Mogul Jun 20, 17:36 1
    - Yeah, and replays showed it was a handball twice during that same sequence/play -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 20, 18:34
- There was a Chilean goalkeeper in the 1990 World Cup who managed to get his team banned from the 1994 World Cup by taking a dive. - Roger More Jun 20, 17:02 13
  - ooopps... more - Roger More Jun 20, 17:04 12
    - There's more to it than that. Details here. Seems he broke open a capsule of blood to simulate an injury. -- (link) - Mop Jun 20, 17:10 5

    - yeah but that isn't going to happen to Italy they are the defending champs -- nm - Karl_S Jun 20, 17:06 1
      - No - this is just a piece of amusing trivia. Also, my bad - it was a WC qualifier, not an actual WC game. - Roger More Jun 20, 17:10
    - wait, so FIFA does review and change the outcomes of World Cup games based on videotapes? - chuckles Jun 20, 17:05 3
      - the game was technically unfinished. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08 1
        
        (It was stopped at the 70-minute-ish mark because they thought the player had been assaulted, and Chile refused to return to the field) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08
      - no, they don't change outcomes -- nm - CQ Jun 20, 17:06
- I'm hopeful. Greg Louganis hasn't seen this much diving. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 17:01
- That would be a bit of an extreme swing in the opposite direction -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 16:55 2
  - maybe but then at least you wont get people diving for attention -- nm - Karl_S Jun 20, 16:57 1
    - what's always bothered me, is that some players would rather dive in the box to get a penalty instead of trying to finish. -- nm - CQ Jun 20, 17:00
I swear, I've been on the phone for 20 minutes with my mother and she's told me the same story 3 times. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 16:38 1
- ball up some celophane or plastic grocery bag...sorry mom we're getting a lot of static, must be those power lines, talk to you later bye -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 20, 16:43

- Jim Nantz gonna kill somebody -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 16:32

    - *lights the Callisto signal* -- nm - Tim Jun 20, 16:18
I am getting the BBQ ready for Father's Day dinner. What the hell happened to Johnson? melt down -- nm - Redmond Jun 20, 16:03 5

  - yes -- nm - chuckles Jun 20, 16:06 3
    - Pebble is a beast! -- nm - Redmond Jun 20, 16:09 2
      - players routinely win with scores in double digits under par at the AT&T - chuckles Jun 20, 16:21 1
        
        And this isn't even an unfair test....it's playing just tough as hell; but it's not unfair. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 16:29

  - We have been to this vineyard before - the priest was blessing the vines and Shay was concerned that I was standing too close - Epiphany Jun 20, 16:42
- that sounds fun -- nm - peglegpete Jun 20, 15:57 3
  - I think we should do it drunk but being sloshed is a bit unseemly at 9 am. - Epiphany Jun 20, 16:07 2
    - make sangria and be drunk at a respectable 10 am :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 20, 16:13 1
      - Yes! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 20, 17:50
