      - Just checking. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 14:19
  - This is a surprising heel turn. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 14:16 7
    - I think if it were shot in the same manner as Two and a Half Men, people would be far less effusive about its quality. - Max Oct 11, 14:19 6
      - laugh tracks *are* off putting but look at how many people rave about HIMYM here. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 14:20 5
        
        And Big Bang Theory, whose laugh track is unbearable. -- nm - David Oct 11, 14:23 4
        
        BBT is unbearable even without the laugh track. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 14:23 3

While I admire Banksy's talent, his "i'll paint whatever, wherever" attitude pisses me off. I think a lot of taggers have talent, but either get - TWuG Oct 11, 14:00 4
- But he's a rebel! How can you not admire him for his rebelness?!!? - Stephen Oct 11, 14:21 1
  - Maybe not cool, but smooth. (the Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie nt) -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 14:24
- I'm sure Banksy has a form you can fill out. - con_carne Oct 11, 14:09
- While I might agree if it were the side of my house... - Dr.Vermin Oct 11, 14:05
Good lord, Denver has already ruled out five players for Sunday. -- nm - David Oct 11, 13:59

~Sweetin' the ride, black pizza, sweetin' the ride, yeah~ -- nm - White Zombie SI Oct 11, 13:58
I've...never heard of Banksy. - David Oct 11, 13:58 8
- He's Stuff White People Like #129 -- (link) - con_carne Oct 11, 14:13
- I think he's come up in off handed conversation on ST. I remember hearing about his urban art and seeing the strange images. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 11, 13:59
- I'm mostly puzzled about Remlik because of the connections in the art/alt/comic world. - Reagen Oct 11, 13:58 5
  - it probably has, but for the life of me I can't think of a thing he's published. -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 14:06
  - I've heard of Banksy, but it's not so weird to me that Remlik has not. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 14:03
  - [deleted] 1
    - It occurred to me, but I don't think so. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 11, 14:03

- I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that the Democrats had been making steady gains in traditionally Republican states/districts. -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:58
Jack, I'm not really taking a stand there, just pointing out that the "logical inconsistency" in the stance isn't one. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:56 3

Rank these three occurrences of obliviousness: Redmond/Christina Hendricks, CQ/Minka Kelly, Remlik/Banksy -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:54 19
- I have no idea who this Carr fellow is, but I give myself a 1. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 14:05
- Only the Hendricks thing is even remotely surprising, and even then, not that big a deal. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 14:01 7
  - No, the Hendricks thing is shocking. I don't see how anyone could read ST for a week and not know who she is. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 14:04 4
    - I wasn't here when this was revealed, but I assume his revelation was in response to a post here. - musubi Oct 11, 14:05 3
      - correct, but he learned of her *last night*. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 14:07 2
        
        Wait. For realsies? Ok, that is kinda surprising. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 14:09 1
        
        here. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 11, 14:14 [Backboard]
  - Minka Kelly is not surprising, just mainly disappointing -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 14:01 1
    - Agreed. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 14:03

- infinity sign, 7, 5. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:57

  - 8. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:58
  - 15 -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:57
- Redmond/The Simpsons leaves them all in the dust -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 13:56
- I have no idea what the hell a banksy is, so I'll say Remlik is the least oblivious. -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:56 1
  - agreed, I don't think it's a big deal at all. -- nm - loosilu Oct 11, 14:04
- 10, 8, 0 -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:55
Oregon State is a perfect example of why polls are flawed - crash davis Oct 11, 13:54 4
- they are ranked now in one of the polls. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 11, 13:58 1
  - yep, but imo, they really shouldn't have ever been non-ranked - they're essentially the same team they were two weeks ago -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:59
- It's okay. It's not like they determine the champion based on the polls. That happens on the field. Oh... -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:55
- awww, c'mon, it makes good headline copy! -- nm - Sportswriters Oct 11, 13:55
I hadn't heard of Banksy before the movie, but Exit Through the Gift Shop is great. -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:52
Didn't we have a real life / TT crossover with Hotkisses' psuedo-ex? (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 13:52 8
- IIRC, it wasn't an ex, but it was a friend that Hotkiss had posted that she had a minor annoyance with. -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 14:02 1
  - I thought it was a "friend" who wanted to be more than that. - musubi Oct 11, 14:09
- I thought that was a SWF situation. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:59
- I thought so. Facto figured into it IIRC. -- nm - TWuG Oct 11, 13:53 4
  - Hence my posting "Facto". -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:58
  - No, it was just that the ex had a handle similar to facto's and people got confused. (I think.) -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:57 2
    - fedup? is that right? -- nm - chromanda Oct 11, 14:13 1
      - Yes! -- nm - mara Oct 11, 14:14
