  - I would give up air before I gave up Coke. - Black Rabbit Jul 12, 08:56

- well sure it is, it has caffeine. ;P is it the caffeine you're trying to kick? -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 08:36 1

- what did I miss? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 08:36 4
  - Just trying to kick the habit...be more healthy and stuff. Nothing missed. -- nm - Jim Jul 12, 08:42 3
    - Changing to diet sodas worked for me. It's odd how sweet "regular" drinks taste after getting used to diet coke and such. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 08:44 2
      - I had already done that. I've been drinking Pibb Zero for a couple years now. - Jim Jul 12, 08:47 1
        
        Good luck! I have one diet coke in the morning, then drink a diet green tea (from Costco), then have one more diet soda in the afternoon. - JaxSean Jul 12, 08:49

I think Hyde is saying there should be a tv channel dedicated to train wrecks. You know, one that's not NBC. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 12, 08:19 12
- what i'm saying is that espn's job is to attract eyeballs and sell ads. if overwhelming hype ends with their highest non-NFL rating of the year.... - x Jul 12, 08:22 9
  - on the other hand, you can't absolve ESPN of their complicity in creating a platform for sports-star-doucheitude -- nm - znufrii Jul 12, 08:26 4
    - I don't blame them one bit. It was huge news and they got the exclusive. The douchdome lies solely with LeDouche. -- nm - pmb Jul 12, 08:45 2
      - but that level of doucheitude is only possible because LeBron knows there is a national media platform eager to exploit it. - znufrii Jul 12, 08:48 1
        
        Doucheitude is achieved by the inability to manage one's own behavior under the circumstances. Yes, he has the ability and the outlet to create the - pmb Jul 12, 08:55
    - Absolve them from doing their job? Well, no, but there's no need to. -- nm - mara Jul 12, 08:41
  - What were the ratings for the Al Capone vault special? Anybody know? -- nm - David Jul 12, 08:24 1
    - "Despite the ending the special became the most-watched syndicated television special with an estimated audience of 30 million." -- (link) - ty97 Jul 12, 08:26
  - And a very smart move by Disney/ABC to rebrand ABC Sports under ESPN. ESPN is litterally synonymous with sports TV in the colonies. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 08:24 1
    - there's really little reason for them not to. look at disney's annual reports sometimes--espn is their cash cow....nm - x Jul 12, 08:25
- Have you ever flipped by Bravo - ty97 Jul 12, 08:21
- *plays The Fugitive and Unbreakable on infinite loop* -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 08:21

  - So, we had lawn seats for 311 last night, but one of my coworkers figured he was suave enough to get them upgraded. - TFox Jul 12, 08:26 13
    - *takes notes - I am *not* doing this for Greenday - Dude I hope you feel better. Was the show good? - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:30 7
      - What I saw of it was, but I wasn't in the mood for it after what happened. - TFox Jul 12, 08:32 6
        
        bummer - you owe yourself an extra night to make up for this one -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:45
        
        that sucks. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 12, 08:33 4

        I love when that happens -- nm - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:46
        
        that at least is something. - Mel Profit Jul 12, 08:36

- Last weeks' routines were super hot (from the girls) - oblique Jul 12, 08:19 7
  - She's nice but a little too cutesy for me to be completely gaga for her. All-star Lauren, on the other hand...I like. -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 08:20 6
    - All-Star Lauren was one of my faves (saw her live) but I really have it for Kathryn. - Black Rabbit Jul 12, 08:37
    - Put those hands together -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 08:21 4

From last week's discussion on headlights. 30 piece screwdriver bit set for $3 shipped -- (link) - oblique Jul 12, 08:16 16
- not $ 3 screwdriver related but the ending song for Predators was - scratch head worthy - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:24 15
  - The only thing that bugged me about the movie was the (spoilers) - oblique Jul 12, 08:32 3
    - agreed - and what if they **spoils - Epiphany Jul 12, 08:41 2
      - that's was sequels are for silly -- nm - sycor Jul 12, 08:54
      - that would have been much better and a decent followup plot - oblique Jul 12, 08:49
  - It was a key piece of the original Predator. When the one guy (the black guy...can't remember his name) - oblique Jul 12, 08:26 7

    - They still fail. They've fallen way behind. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 08:21 6
      - There's a new version coming soon, and there's a "Share this" button - Guigue Jul 12, 08:27 2
        
        I have it. It doesn't add Facebook -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 08:29 1
        
        Yup. blog, link (which you could do on FB) and email. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 08:31
      - Oddly, they don't even have a Share link to their own Yahoo properties -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 08:23 2
        
        Wow, I didn't even notice that. Has Picassa gotten any better? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 12, 08:25 1
        
        Not IMO. I still think Flickr is the premier site but I would consider SmugMug a very good alternative but I believe a little more costly -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 08:28
- If I'm reading that right, that's an $11 burger, which is not bad value for that much meat. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 08:18
