I'm kind of surprised that Charlie St. Cloud didn't do paid sneaks this weekend. -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 15:39 2

  - Yeah! -- nm - Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze Jul 25, 15:58
ESPN's saying that Dan Haren has been traded to the Angels. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 15:28 4

    - yep. a nice trading deadline gift to help me coast to a second consecutive title. -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 15:40
  - (and being the owner of Joe Saunders in my AL-only roto keeper... that title's mine now.) -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 15:36
we're also having a real NC pig picking this week, so i will be getting the 'authentic' BBQ experience as well - chuckles Jul 25, 15:26 2

- for me only... - nubby Jul 25, 14:51 2
  - Is a storyline you don't want to see really "jumping the shark," though? Doesn't it have to be something silly or extreme? -- nm - mara Jul 25, 15:34
  - and by Sally he would actually mean Betty ... or "Bets" as she's affectionately called by her husdband. Sally would be ... "spoilers" - JenBro Jul 25, 15:00
- It's changing the premise drastically. But charges of JTS need to be based on results. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 14:43 15
  - word. It is usually associated with a downhill slide, not merely a change of that sort. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:51 14
    - Fine, I'm guilty of committing a semantic sin. -- nm - nubby Jul 25, 14:52 13
      - *gasp*! the eighth deadly sin! (kidding. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 14:52 12
        
        Actually, I take it back. - nubby Jul 25, 14:54 11

        yes. It became a series about gimmcky episodes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:07
        
        It's about when Chachi showed up, so yeah, a pretty good decline in quality. -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 6
        
        (basically, Chachi added to the cast, Richie gets a serious girlfriend, Al replaces Pat Morita as diner owner) -- nm - Callisto Jul 25, 15:07 5
        
        Mork. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:10 3

        Oh sure. But "Kids from the 50s meet a free-associating alien in rainbow suspenders" is out there. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 15:13 1
        
        It is. (Note: I had rainbow suspenders with the pointy finger just like Mork's.) - Callisto Jul 25, 15:18
        
        (and then Weezer shows up and refuses to try the fish.) -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 15:10

You mean the lint might have been the target? -- nm - the liioulu with spots Jul 25, 14:15 4
- oh now wouldn't that be a great consiracy theory :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 25, 15:02
- I think the Cuddle Soft was the intended target, but the lint jumped in the way like a Cuddle Soft Secret Service Agent. -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 25, 14:28 1
  - Lint trying to save Cuddle Soft is kind of like the blind leading the blind. Still, that's devotion. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 14:32

    - I'm only through S2. -- nm - nubby Jul 25, 14:51
so you're saying you "save lint" - because you can't throw out small bits of lint - it has to be ball sized? - JenBro Jul 25, 13:38 10
- It's not saving. It's being lazy. -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 25, 14:54 7
  - This is why your window sills get shot. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 25, 16:03
  - *coughs bullshit* ... being lazy is not cleaning out the lint screen until there's a ball size of lint in it - JenBro Jul 25, 14:58 5
    - Ah but that is a fire hazard. -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 25, 15:01 4

- So I saw the season ender a couple weeks early? -- nm - the liioulu with spots Jul 25, 13:50

      - And there was that one ep with Daleks that was simply awful. - the liioulu with spots Jul 25, 13:53
    - It sagged in the middle (Vampires of Venice was lame) but it finished really strong -- nm - amoxy Jul 25, 13:42
It's a gullywasher! - prayformojo Jul 25, 12:48 1
- Good. Those gullies were getting dirty. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 12:53
