BBC America question. Have they suddenly stopped showing A2A again? - Mel Profit Jul 10, 08:00 4
- I just did a quick look and didn't see anything. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 08:09 2
  - and their already a season behind. I sort of know the twist already but am trying to remain in a blackout regarding it. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 08:13 1
    - oh no you don't know the twist. It looks like they've only shown season 1. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 08:15
- Yeah, it was too adult a program. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 10, 08:09
As suspected I lost quite a bit more than I won going back to Friday Night Magic. But I do have an extremely limited card pool. Went 1 and 3. - Qale Jul 10, 07:45 1
- Oh, and as per usual these days, I got a blog about my return to the game. -- (link) - Qale Jul 10, 07:50
keeping the music theme alive from backboards and here ... Peter Gabriel and Sting thoughts... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 10, 07:36

  - considdering that was a modifyed Typhoon and it's in a hurrican area tou might do soemthing with that but i can't - Danedukenuuk Jul 10, 07:25
  - The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming! -- nm - mara Jul 10, 07:23
Raptors get 2 first rounders (one was their own which they gave up in an earlier trade) a trade exemption from Heat in sign and trade for Bosh -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 06:02 7
- and Lebron, Wade, and Bosh can all opt out in 4 years and do this all again! -- nm - stewie Jul 10, 07:07 5
  - if the NBA lockout goes down next year and the salaries get slashed, they would be insane to opt out though -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 07:16 4
    - hard to say... the opportunity to sign a long term deal now vs. waiting is always worth something -- nm - stewie Jul 10, 07:19 2
      - if the max salary drops like a rock (as it is expected the NBA will push for), then long-term contracts might be worth 33-50% less then - Beaker Jul 10, 07:39 1
        
        these negotiations always start with extremes... and both sides say there will never ever be a deal... until the deal is announced - stewie Jul 10, 07:45
    - rumour is they are all taking $15 mil under max -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 07:16
- JJ Reddick to the Bulls (along with Korver they have some shooting lined up) -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 06:04
@sportsguy33 They should have had LeBron quit 2/3rds of the way through this Heat celebration - it could have been like the Boston series. -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 06:00

- I wonder how long it took for someone to option the movie rights for this? -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 05:58 4
  - Wasn't that The Core? -- nm - Dano Jul 10, 06:13 3
    - the earth was still spinning in the Core - but the core wasn't -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 08:26

- word -- nm - peglegpete Jul 9, 23:01
- don henley's best makes it a bit tougher, but I think the group still wins. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 22:54 7
  - smuggler's blues and the heat is on are crimes against rock -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 22:56 6
    - agree with Heat. But Smuggler's is a solid 80's song as is You Belong to the City -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 08:13
    - heart of the matter, boys of summer, end of the innocence, not enough love in the world, last worthless evening.. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 23:00 4
      - unrelated, but thinking of these apparently opened a closed door in my mind. heh. (share!) - b! Jul 9, 23:04 1
        
        that's nice - chuckles Jul 9, 23:07
      - oh i love the henley. but he has to work that much harder to make up for frey -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 23:03 1

  - FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!! - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 9, 23:10 1
    - woohoo! drive extra safe going home, and happy weekend! :) - -- nm - b! Jul 9, 23:11
Wow. Chatting with my friend Karen in Vancouver, and she has never heard of Tivo or DVRs. - loosilu Jul 9, 22:39 5
- ... as far as I know, vancouver is serviced by shaw (assuming you mean BC) ... I have a shaw dual-tuner HD-PVR. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 23:06 4
  - is tivo not available? -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 04:40 3
    - I think that bra -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 10, 06:31 2
      - Branded tivos just came out a year or so ago -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 10, 06:32 1
        
        I don't know why anyone up here would have one since most providers here will let you rent their PVRs for free. -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 06:56

- tommy lee? his albums have done worse than DLR's. -- nm - b! Jul 9, 22:43 3
  - his 1st solo album, "Never a Dull Moment" was actually very good. It deserved to do better. - Mel Profit Jul 10, 07:50 1
    - he's done some solid solo material. but he's been to old for what he wants to do for years and the kids aint buying it. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 08:18
  - although Van Halen was bigger than Crue at its height. they were the biggest band in the world when he left - chuckles Jul 9, 22:50
- Sammy Hagar -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 9, 22:41 2
  - Singles wise I'd agree, but he's turned into a hard rock version of Buffet so he's pretty successful. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 08:15
  - perhaps musically, but he made $100M off of that tequila so he's doing pretty good in general. -- nm - decline Jul 10, 07:39

interesting sub poll: Phil Collins, better in Genesis or without? -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 21:55 11
- in Brand X -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 10, 04:21
- The solo stuff while in Genesis is essentially the same music. His stuff since is not as good. -- nm - Tim Jul 9, 22:01 2
  - reading about what he was going though at the time makes sense. -- nm - Remlik Jul 9, 22:04
  - I agree with the first sentence...I do love his Disney stuff, though. -- nm - kelly Jul 9, 22:02
- Are you saying with or without him lead singing? -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 22:01 1
  - his solo albums/songs. Against All Odds, Sussudio, Easy Lover, In the Air Tonight -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 22:02
- In. Aside from 1 song his solo stuff is inferior. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 9, 21:57 3

    - I saw your bb post re: mushrooms. - b! Jul 9, 22:14
