- I'm not happy about it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:09
I think my favorite person on BB this season is Matt with Lane second. I like Brendon, but less and less the longer he's with Rachel. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 20:05 3
- I find myself mostly rooting for Brendon and Rachel... - Ender Jul 29, 20:55

  - Seriously? -- nm - Subversive Jul 29, 20:09 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Yes, good point. Well, now to see if I can rouse him on e-mail. This league is not a 'hosted' one, we do manual scoring. - Subversive Jul 29, 20:15
Quite curious as to how big 71: Into the Fire will do at my AMC 24. (the still waiting for Cyrus or The Kids Are Alright that aren't coming nt.) -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 19:56
Some great pictures from the National Jamboree -- (link) - Fuzzy Jul 29, 19:50 [flickr] 15

        didn't know he went. good for him. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:14
      - I can't believe people care. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 20:13 8
        
        Same here. It'll be interesting to see if they make changes after they start getting charged market rent in Philly. - MDH Jul 29, 20:50 1
        
        I thought I read that the risk in Philly is that there are other groups that will suffer because of this too. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 29, 20:52
        
        it's a Jamboree vs. View thing. I *hate* the View. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:14
        
        really? -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:13 4
        
        It's a freaking Jamboree. And as Colbert pointed out, presidents never go. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 20:15 3
        
        he agreed to go then cancelled for the \View. that's the issue. - loosilu Jul 29, 20:26 1
        
        but it was barbara walters' first day back! he couldn't say no to that! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 20:30
        
        The last 3 presidents each attended Jamboree and this one marks the BSA's centennial. - Fuzzy Jul 29, 20:22
    - That's....a lot of scouts. -- nm - Subversive Jul 29, 20:05

    - i should have sent you an invite -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:55
Also, Burn Notice is firing on all cylinders this season. -- nm - David Jul 29, 19:45 7

- Spoils - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 29, 20:01 5
  - I *love* Jesse. *LOVE*. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:37 3
    - I'm afraid that *spoils* - Mop Jul 29, 21:25
    - I'll admit that the character is growing on me (esp. after that interrogation episode), but the subplot itself irks me. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 29, 20:38
    - Yup. -- nm - David Jul 29, 20:38
  - spoils - flavorize Jul 29, 20:25
Austin & Santino is pretty good so far -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 19:41 1
- oh krap, I didn't tivo!!! -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:11
"In 1995, the Internet sucked." - David Jul 29, 19:39 4
- But two years later, Blizzard released the original Diablo and everything got considerably better. -- nm - Qale Jul 29, 19:46
- only in the movies could you build a girl robot over a 300 baud audio modulator -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 19:42 1
  - without a 300 baud de-modulater that would have been a pritty one-sided coversation -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 29, 21:10
- *nostalgia* I liked it at the time. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 19:40
