Did CBS have glitchy audio during BB for anyone else? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 19:27 2
- It's hiccuping every five seconds here :( -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 19:29 1
  - There were two or three audio dropouts for cursing, but nothing like that. -- nm - Ender Jul 29, 19:31
I think for the first time ever, I could have made a better garment than someone did on this Project Runway challenge. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 19:15 3
- since i cannot sew at ALL, I don't think I have ever had that feeling. Work of Art is another story. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 19:17 2
  - but you do knit, and a spool of yarn is better than what Casanova did -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 19:21 1
    - true. Can't wait to see. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 19:24

It's hard to believe I would struggle to understand myself when I take such diligent notes as: - David Jul 29, 19:07 10
- I was about to join you in Amazon g.c. frustration, as I've been waiting for a book to be delivered. - b! Jul 29, 19:30 8
  - I've been told that they have no idea what their inventory is on anything right now. -- nm - David Jul 29, 19:32 3
    - oh, how fun. -- nm - b! Jul 29, 19:39
    - It hasn't made cyber news yet, I don't think. Unless my google skills suck. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 19:36
    - hmm, i wonder if this explains my order issues from earlier - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:35
  - you've got a book - chuckles Jul 29, 19:31 3
    - I have lots of books. I finished "one day" days ago. I want "the disappearing spoon" *now*! geekgeek. -- nm - b! Jul 29, 19:37 2

Both Cinematic Titanic and RiffTrax crews will be at DragonCon. No word if there will be a throwdown. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 18:51 1
- I'll also get to add one more Mythbuster to my list of those met. Jamie will be the only one remaining. Stupid sexy Hyneman -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 18:56
... I'm not sure what that TV discussion below is about, but there ought to be some way to work Dan Stark's moustache into it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 18:47 2
- I swear that show is a remake of Life on Mars by someone who didn't pay any attention. ;) - the liioulu with magazines Jul 29, 18:52 1
  - I didn't watch Life on Mars, but I'm getting a real kick out of The Good Guys -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 18:52

  - Seriously. He's having a great season too. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 18:56
lyc: I finally talked to my sister-in-law about the wedding hair thing. I am so glad I had 3 vodka tonics in me before I made that call. - kelly Jul 29, 18:37 7
- nice. good on you making that call. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 18:45 5
  - I felt like I shouldn't have had to (she said she was going to call me 2 weeks ago, but didn't, surprise surprise.) - kelly Jul 29, 18:49 4
    - i dunno, someone makes a generous offer like that, they're worth a return phone call imo. - TFox Jul 29, 18:51 3
      - hooray for vodka! -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 18:52 2
        
        (actually, eff that vodka *sucks.*) - kelly Jul 29, 19:36
        
        :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:56
- glad it went well. do you feel good about it? -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:38
Whoever knew and didn't tell me that Sudden Death was on MovieTime is fired. -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 18:32
Also, I believe the cops should be all over Michael Westen by now. - David Jul 29, 18:29 20
- He's way too smart, silly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:34
- Also, I'm all for female empowerment, but it's hard to believe that Chuck's Sarah can kick the asses of large, trained men in hand to hand combat. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 29, 18:32 3
  - how about Ziva on NCIS? I actually buy it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:38
  - it goes in tandem where only the show's star can hit someone when there is shooting :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 18:37
  - I can buy that one. Bruce Lee's low center of gravity was something he felt helped him as a street fighter. -- nm - David Jul 29, 18:35
- as large as Miami is, there's only so many neighbourhoods they could operate in without someone remembering him. - Reagen Jul 29, 18:32 14
  - Yeah, I found myself thinking that Burn Notice, 24 and Leverage ask the most among dramas. How I Met Your Mother is the easy choice for comedies. - David Jul 29, 18:33 13
    - I'd rank House above all of them. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:35
    - I've been catching up on Leverage recently. As much as I love it, you really, really need to just shrug and go with them. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 29, 18:34 11
      - Yeah and I don't have a problem with that, which is why I enjoy Psych and it so much. -- nm - David Jul 29, 18:36 10
        
        Yeah, I'm not looking for reality there. I just like the quippy. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 29, 18:40 4
        
        in Burn Notice I'm there for the suave, the bluff, and the badass. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:41
        
        No, link me, db! -- nm - David Jul 29, 18:41 2
        
        Raygun linked this way, way back. It's a blog by one of the Leverage creators (nmblink) - ralph wiggum Jul 29, 18:42 1
        
        Jane Austen's Fight Club actually makes a lot of thematic sense. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 19:01
        
        it seems silly to require plausibility from either Psych or Burn Notice. THey're ridiculous by nature and that's the fun. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:37 4
        
        That's the way I see it but I understand people getting frustrated with the construct. That's what happened for me with Seinfeld. -- nm - David Jul 29, 18:41 3
        
        the problem with Seinfeld is that they started drawing attention to it. - Reagen Jul 29, 18:43 1
        
        they were very impressed with themselves. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:44
        
        I fully enjoyed Seinfeld at the time, though for me it did not age well. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:42

  - I feel like you and I should watch these films. -- nm - miss amanda jones Jul 29, 18:50 1

I can just imagine the trade for Tejada going like this. "We get a Wynn for this deal. Those rarely happen here. Get us a Wynn!" - Will Hunting Jul 29, 18:13 1

- how can we evaluate on how big of a f*kup it was if you don't give us details? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 18:29
- But I'm sure there are numerous times you've gone above and beyond and deflected problems to more than make up for it. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 18:19
- : ( i hate that stuff. sorry. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 18:17
- Yikes. Why has her summer been so rough? -- nm - David Jul 29, 18:15 1
  - She has pfm as an employee? - the liioulu with magazines Jul 29, 18:32
- spoils ? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 29, 18:09
hey TFox...just wanted to let you know that you should watch Fox right now. It's a Glee-peat. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 29, 18:00 1

  - this is wonderful. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:39
  - Yeah, I hung out at Things Remembered a lot before my wedding. - David Jul 29, 18:32 1
    - You'd think she'd have any number of verifiably considerate people to choose from. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 18:40
- i don't think you would need to do much more than a sincere token of your appreciation. i got our moms a custom-made bracelet off of etsy - kare Jul 29, 18:03 8
  - These are all good ideas. And in the case of family members, when in doubt, you can't go wrong with sentimental gifts (like old photos). -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:41 5
    - I've been making all of my wedding VIPs ceramic painted stuff (jewelry boxes, Xmas tree ornaments, etc.) - kelly Jul 29, 18:48 4
      - in the case of his services (which are pretty pricey) I would go the extra mile and give him a gift certificate for something he would enjoy a lot. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:50 3
        
        what kind of gift certificate? - kelly Jul 29, 18:51 2
        
        depends on the person, right? I like Andie's suggestion. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:57

  - re: b). I...have no idea. - kelly Jul 29, 18:53 1
    - well, either a big store (i said Best Buy above), or a high end photography supply chain (is there such a thing?) -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 18:58
- a) grandchildren....b) bake him a pie? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 17:56
Anne Rice opens mouth, says something kooky -- (link) - Reagen Jul 29, 17:52 12
- potentially the worst author I have ever had the misfortune to read -- nm - Beaker Jul 29, 18:30 1
  - Agreeance. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 19:12
- [deleted] 1
  - sure, I know many devoutly religious people whose beliefs are in line with hers. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:48
- I'm not looking to make this a thing but I fully understand where she comes from on the following: - David Jul 29, 18:15 5
  - all of that sounds perfectly sensible to me, even if it is kooky old Anne Rice. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 18:44
  - Yeah, I'm not sure why what she said would be considered "kooky." She has decided that following Christ means - TWuG Jul 29, 18:20
  - I only call it kooky because it's Anne Rice. - Reagen Jul 29, 18:19 2
    - I think it's more than a bit kooky to get on the Internet and announce that you quit CHristianity "today". - loosilu Jul 29, 18:47 1
      - What would be more kooky is if she finally wrote a new novel I could find myself interested in reading. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 18:51
- She sounds as unhappy as any who get caught up in religion vs faith. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 18:03 1
  - it really sucks when you have to dig deep to find people in your religion who think as you do. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 19:19
