- do you know who has the 2nd most home runs since 2004 behind Pujols? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:27 3
  - Adam Dunn or A-Rod. -- nm - Inigo Sep 15, 13:32 1
    - yes, Donkey is #2. - groiny Sep 15, 13:33
  - Hitler? -- nm - amoxy Sep 15, 13:30
I used to have an old Don Rickles live album from the 60's. Hoo, boy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 15, 13:24 4
- He had a TV show in the 90's the name escapes me but he was nasty on it (almost a precursor to Shit My Dad Says) -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 13:25 2
  - his show in the 70s was CPO Sharkey. I torrented the Dean Martin roasts and they got away with a lot then - zork Sep 15, 13:30 1
    - it's on Youtube, but Carson crashes the CPO Sharkey set and says something that's not quite appropiate to the Rickels cast mate.... - Remlik Sep 15, 13:32
- yeah, him and Buddy Hackett would get after it too. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:25

I know it shouldn't, but it really annoys me when a store like Tiger Direct has different prices online than in store. Wal-mart does the same thing. - sycor Sep 15, 13:19 34
- I know with Wal-Mart you can buy something online and have it delivered to your store for pickup, so there isn't much difference there -- nm - crash davis Sep 15, 13:35 1
  - sure, because when you get to Wal Mart, you certainly will make an impulse purchase. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:36
- This objection to online stores has always puzzled me. Different people live in different regions of the US. They sometimes demand different goods. - con_carne Sep 15, 13:26 18
  - No. If I can buy something online from your site for $20 I should be able to walk into the store and buy it for $20, not $25. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:28 17
    - disagree, it costs me more to stock it in store than in my warehouse. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:29 16
      - on this note, i was livid when a Ray LaMontagne's new album was $4 cheaper in CD form than MP3. - Guy Sep 15, 13:38 1
        
        demand. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:38
      - And IMO, they are two different markets. You'd expect different markets to have different prices/demands/costs -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:33 5
        
        this I really disagree with. online vs brick shouldn't be compared as markets when discussing price. Raleigh vs NY maybe. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:36 4
        
        If they are the same exact market, then why should a brick and mortar store bother having an online store? -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:41 1
        
        if I live in Raleigh and can into the store or order it online I'm in the same market. I don't charge markets because I sit at a keyboard. - sycor Sep 15, 13:44
        
        wrong, it's soooo much easier for someone to comparison shop online than in the store. Once someone leaves the store they probably won't come back. -- nm - zork Sep 15, 13:40 1
        
        not in this day and age with smart phones. If I'm in Best Buy I scan an item and my phone tells me where I can get it cheaper (if I can). Or I can - sycor Sep 15, 13:45
      - That's debatable in my opinion. And even if true, I can't imaging it costs THAT much more. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:33 4
        
        uh, speaking as someone who's straddled that line, you're wrong. - Guy Sep 15, 13:41 2
        
        fair enough. But are you telling me Wal-Mart.com is a completely seperate entity than Wal-Mart? I doubt this but I guess it could be true. - sycor Sep 15, 13:47 1
        
        i imagine they are separate departments. and they are large enough that the shippnig issue znu mentions is null -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:49
        
        factoring in store space, electricity, staff expense, etc.... - groiny Sep 15, 13:36
      - true but dividing the shipping cost of all the stock to a store is way less than each item to a home. - zork Sep 15, 13:32 2
        
        when is shipping calculated as part of the item cost? - Guy Sep 15, 13:39 1
        
        in stores? -- nm - zork Sep 15, 13:41
- toys r us does as well. -- nm - Remlik Sep 15, 13:24
- I was not away that TD was an actual brick and mortar store. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 13:22 5
  - yeah the rebranded the old CompUSA name so if you see a CompUSA it's actually a TD -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:25 4
    - Aren't Circuit City (online), CompUSA (online & retail), and Tiger Direct (both) all pretty much the same company now? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 15, 13:26 1
      - Not sure about CC. Wouldn't surprise me though. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:29
    - we... don't have those. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 13:26 1
      - there are a couple of them in the Toronto area, don't know that they are rebranded anything but could be TD from the start -- nm - zork Sep 15, 13:31
- I've always found TD to be one of the few stores that you can get the online price in the store without fail -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 13:19 5
  - really? I will swing by there. I tried calling the store to ask them something and I'm pretty it was a call center that answered. She said the price - sycor Sep 15, 13:21 4
    - here's a neat trick -- (link) - oblique Sep 15, 13:22 3
      - you are the man. I was trying to figure out how to do this and it wsa not intuitive on their site at all. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:24 1
        
        hehe still doesn't tell me if it's in stock. but it gives a price which is helpful. -- nm - sycor Sep 15, 13:25
      - this is not you making a broom handle disappear again, is it? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:24
ummm...they been doing this since he won the Democratic nomination.... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 15, 13:17 1

      - Open Range is one of my favorite westerns ever. Love it. -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 13:24
- Bull Durham, Untouchables and Field of Dreams...but as I've always said, his Best Five films is as good as any actor in the history of the industry. -- nm - David Sep 15, 13:20

    - [deleted]
- Whoops, Thirteen Days, not JFK. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 13:18 2
  - what? the latter was so much better than the former -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:21 1
    - I haven't seen Thirteen Days, so I can't compare, but JFK was just ok. (nm) - musubi Sep 15, 13:24
- Tin Cup, Bull Durham, Untouchables (though I like Waterworld, too) - prayformojo Sep 15, 13:18 1

What was the other movie that Kim's not having seen til recently shocked us about? - prayformojo Sep 15, 13:17 1
- Yes, it was The Sting and she has since watched it. -- nm - David Sep 15, 13:20
"I'd like to extend this hearty handshake to our new..............." - groiny Sep 15, 13:15 12
- (I think he said "this laurel and hearty handshake" while holding a laurel wreath) :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 13:38 1
  - yeah, I spaced on the spelling of laurel and omitted it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:39
- the one that gets me is the little old lady - zork Sep 15, 13:35
- it's something that's so difficult to do right. so so difficult. - TFox Sep 15, 13:19 8
  - Brooks and Pryor both knew how to walk that line. -- nm - TWuG Sep 15, 13:22
  - why are you so sure that's why he 'snapped'? i think it could have been the pressures of fame as much as anything. -- nm - Guy Sep 15, 13:21 6
    - i'm pretty sure i read something where he recounted the story. - TFox Sep 15, 13:25 5
      - supposedly the final straw was a white crew member laughing just a little too much. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 13:27 3
        
        its a tough thing, to realize that you have total control over the intent of your humor, but zero control over why someone might laugh at it. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:30 1
        
        (or get angry, or offended, or whatever.) -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 13:30
        
        I did not know that was possible. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:28
      - interesting. i'd missed that. i have heard several rappers recount similar frustrations though. - Guy Sep 15, 13:27
