- Wow, that is a lot. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 13, 13:40
Note to self: Never, Never, NEVER Start a mystery book after 9pm - ty97 Jul 13, 13:33 1

Hmm, he's not listed in the credits, but I'm pretty sure Josh Radnor makes a brief appearance in 10 Things I Hate about You. -- nm - David Jul 13, 13:32 5
- Is he one of the kids they talk to in the stairwell about dating Stiles? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:33 4
  - No, at the first party, there are two guys doing a Rat Pack impersonation and smoking fake cigarettes. I'm pretty sure he's the one on the right. -- nm - David Jul 13, 13:38 1
    - Huh. God I love that movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:39
  - "Are there sheep?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:35 1
    - "I have a dick on my face, don't I?" - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:36
Strictly allegorically speaking, one can't unscrew what's been completely screwed. - facto Jul 13, 13:29
Bery I gave some details on the EB promo a few boards back, in case you were interested. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 13:25 2
- I saw :) I found tivs.ca which seems to list trade-in values for some games for EB ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:25 1
  - Hehe, tivs.ca is the bible for game trading. I've been using it for at least a year now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 13:26
Now that the world soccerball competition is over, will you miss it? -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 13:24 26
- yes and no. i always miss it 'til it comes again. but european club play is generally higher quality....nm - x Jul 13, 13:40
- nope, the EPL starts in August. Of course, Aston Villa will have their hands full. I hope they acquire Keane -- nm - CQ Jul 13, 13:33
- only a few weeks then the leagues start - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:27
- I loved it all the while whenn it was there, but it feels natural that it's come to a conclusion. And again: Brasil clearly wins in 2014. -- nm - facto Jul 13, 13:26 17
  - Usually, before clearly happening.....they shoulda been close in either of the last 2 events - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:34
  - I don't know, Germany was very impressive, and young. Give those players a few years of seasoning, who knows what might happen? -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 13:31
  - clearly???? you know more then the rest of us? - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:30 6
    - I just like to occasionally be cocksure.. ;-) - facto Jul 13, 13:33 5
      - always bet on brazil is a common thing in footy - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:35 4
        
        if people want soccer to catch on here, that "footy" nickname needs to go. - TFox Jul 13, 13:36 3
        
        Call it futbol, for instance, but to the rest of the world, it'll always be football (link) - facto Jul 13, 13:42 [youtube]
        
        will be hard but engines are popular in the US inspite of the use of the word Spanner i think? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:38
        
        "Get in the warty!" - Mop SI Jul 13, 13:37
  - Home advantage will be telling, as usual...but with the way the Spanish can play, Brazil being favourites to win it isn't a foregone conclusion imo. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 13:28 7
    - Spain aren't all that great. They're on a roll, with the UEFA EC 2008 and now FIFA WC 2010. But before this, they'd never even been to the semi-finals - facto Jul 13, 13:31 6
      - So because they didn't make the semi finals alot during say, the Cold War era, they have no chance of winning the next WC? Cop on. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 13:34 2
        
        They never made it to the semi-finals ever before. - facto Jul 13, 13:44
        
        actually doing it twice in a row (winning any final) is a great sign - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:37
      - becorse then never could agree on much before this team -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 13:32
      - and they lost to the US in the Confederations Cup....the US! - znufrii Jul 13, 13:32 1
        
        Hell, they lost to Switzerland a month ago! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:34
- hell's yes. I hope it catches on soon so I don't have to wait four years -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 13:26 4
  - you can always watch MLS...*snicker*\ -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 13:30 2
    - if only I had a soccer channel -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 13:35 1
      - You don't get Fox Soccer Channel? - znufrii Jul 13, 13:36
  - Yeah, I could see them doing it on a monthly basis. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 13, 13:28
Undercover Karaoke with Jewel -- (link) - oblique Jul 13, 13:21 3
- undercover porn with jewel would be so much better -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 13:22 2
  - it would lend new meaning to her lyrics ...You were meant for me, and I was meant for you ... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 13, 13:23
  - undercover take Jewel to the dentist would be the bestest -- nm - CQ Jul 13, 13:23
Any of the ST professional writers here? (looks at Reagen or anyone else wanting to offer an opinion).....I have a question... - Walt_Disney Jul 13, 13:13 24

- Ask if they take issue with a $15 drumset cleaning fee. -- nm - TFox Jul 13, 13:22
- for an extra $50 he will name a star after you too -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 13:19
- he's asking you to pay him to proof something he is publishing and not pay you for the writing? - decline Jul 13, 13:16 12
  - seriously. i've been freaked out enough by the $2 per article writing gigs on craigslist. (people actually write for $2 a piece?!) - kare Jul 13, 13:19 11
    - It's about this bad with programming, too. Rent-a-coder and all that are full of programmers who will work for so cheap that someone - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:24 3
      - You all sound just like the photographers bitching about microstock :) -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:25 2
        
        It's all the same thing. Not a feasible avenue for me to apply my skills. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:26
        
        it's of a kind - Reagen Jul 13, 13:26

        er, hope *not*! -- nm - kare Jul 13, 13:20
- umm, that actually sounds a little scammish. get a trusted writer friend to proof it for you. for free. and return the favor sometime. -- nm - kare Jul 13, 13:16 1
  - Glade too e of serivce! -- nm - Daen & Musubii Proofwriters, LLC Jul 13, 13:19
- I mean, that's not an unreasonable fee, but they asked you to write a column. - Reagen Jul 13, 13:16
- that's ridiculous and a money grab. -- nm - b. Jul 13, 13:15
- Just say it's ok I always proofread my own stuff. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 13:15 1
  - except that's the last way you should proofread something ;) -- nm - kare Jul 13, 13:17
- i wouldnt be willing to pay to have someone proof-read a non-paid column. - tRuMaN Jul 13, 13:15 1

- what about those of us who are mocking wrestling? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:10 1
  - Carry on, my wayward son. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 13:11
