    - When my friend and I ran our radio show at Vandy, we threatened to play that song every week until no one called in to request or say they liked it. - TFox Sep 27, 07:55 1
      - (Of note: we got maybe 7 calls per 4 hour show. No one listens to Vanderbilt radio.) -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 07:55
- Add in the fact he didn't seem to actually know the playbook terminology.......what an organization. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 07:50

Almost as good as stepping on crunchy leaves: Dropping an ice cube into a drinking and hearing it crack. -- nm - Dano Sep 27, 07:37 4

a long time ST poster has summoned me, saying that you have Facto problems here... - RazorHawk Sep 27, 07:31 23
- cool; have fun with Facto! - RazorHawk Sep 27, 07:55 4
  - Why would you care? -- nm - amoxy Sep 27, 07:58
  - that's not it either, necessarily. we just don't need hatchet men for hire. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 07:56 2
    - I guess the main question I have about all of this is...Facto is a dude? - Subversive Sep 27, 07:57
    - Exactly...if anyone gets on our nerves, we have a pretty solid self-policing system here. -- nm - Jim Sep 27, 07:57
- and, who are you? -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 07:47
- heh. -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 07:38
- Ahhh, I didn't think he was causing problems, but I think you just opened it up -- nm - amoxy Sep 27, 07:34

this was a hilarious bit on SNL this weekend.... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 27, 07:09 5
- [deleted] 4
  - probably just because it was the season premiere, but there were a surprising number (>1) of really funny bits this weekend. - znufrii Sep 27, 07:14 3
    - I had the completely opposite thoughts. There was only one "you had to see it" bit (Katy Perry/Elmo) and even that was one-note. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 27, 07:16 2
      - yeah, that really didn't do much for me. - znufrii Sep 27, 07:18 1
        
        Oh they certainly didn't write an interesting sketch. The punchline was entirely the shirt/Perry. The rest of that segment was awful. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 27, 07:21

    - "Get some rest Pam...you look tired" -- nm - Jim Sep 27, 07:28 6
      - That entire thing and how it ties to Bourne 2 is superb. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 07:29 5
        
        all 3 tie together extremely well. It's more like one long action/suspense movie rather than 3 separate ones once they are all together -- nm - Beaker Sep 27, 07:31 4
        
        Amazing considering how #1 & 2 by all rights shoulda been disasters. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 27, 07:34

    - It was just a tight concise intelligent storyline. Smart people doing smart things. and it has my favorite line in a long time - Will Hunting Sep 27, 07:28 5

Need an ST ruling please. is it ok to make TAR jokes about the thing last night? or is it a spoiler? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 06:46 11
- my thought is if you think it could be a spoiler, then it probably is. - tRuMaN Sep 27, 06:47 10
  - How can that be a spoiler? Wasn't a link to the video was posted here some time ago? -- nm - mara Sep 27, 06:57
  - if it was in the previews, it must be ok! -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 06:51 7
    - aw heck, I googled a bit and the video has been out for weeks. I say this is fair game. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 06:54 6
      - what kind of jokes could one make that would actually be funny enough to ask the question? that's my issue with it. -- nm - chromanda Sep 27, 06:55 5
        
        there's a funny threshold? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 27, 06:56 4
        
        there kind of is. I mean (splr) - chromanda Sep 27, 06:58 3
