- Gilmore Golden Girls? -- nm - zork Oct 21, 13:42
This may sound familiar to some. Woman carries out romance with other woman online, moves to town, discovers the "woman" is a male sex offender -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Oct 21, 13:30 1

    - It's a tentpole! IT'S A TENTPOOOOOOOLE!! -- nm - Tracy Jordan Oct 21, 13:36
    - I stopped watching regularly with the death of Orbach. - Stephen Oct 21, 13:36
    - I can't figure why you kept the original around the last 2-3 years to get to Gunsmoke; then kill it when it's tied. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:32 6
      - Even though i'd stopped watching regularly, I agree with this. It was a chance to achieve something special, for everyone who was ever involved with - Stephen Oct 21, 13:35
      - that made zero and I mean zero programming sense to me. There was an oppurtunity there for some marketing that rarely happens. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:33
      - Who says we have to make sense to you? -- nm - NBC Oct 21, 13:33 3

        Bonnie Hammer does not have the skills to adroitly handle late-night talk show hosting contracts which is our proudest accomplishment. -- nm - NBC Oct 21, 13:36
    - I agree, and I still regularly watched the original -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:32

Zombies, Santana, Fluke, Judas Priest, Powerman 5000. There's an interesting musical trip. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:21 4

  - hmm. Good question. I know I have neil young ... not sure about diamond. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:24 1

Here's some fun Peyton Manning facts... - Remlik Oct 21, 13:12 5
- That just means more passes to Wayne and Garcon, both of whom I have in various leagues! - Stephen Oct 21, 13:20
- Fun? -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:13 3
  - I have Reggie Wayne in the Feud. Its kind of fun in that way. -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:15 2
    - Portis and now Clark. Compared to some of my other season/teams, that is not that bad. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:16 1
      - I think in RC's league I've had 5 straight running back injuries (and now Clark on that team too) -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:17
Is Netflix (or streaming) down for anyone else? - Stephen Oct 21, 13:09 3

- The site is down for me as well. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 21, 13:10 1
  - Thanks (to both of you). - Stephen Oct 21, 13:19
The good thing about shuffle/random play, is that while you have disks you play all the time, you have a lot more disks that you bought but never ... - zeitgeist Oct 21, 13:07 6
- Since buying my first iPod I can't remember the last time I listened to a full album in order... - Stephen Oct 21, 13:26
- For certain times, agreed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:18
- I *never* use shuffle. If I do, I only shuffle by artist. Never a true random "spit out some shit, iPod" shuffle. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:18 3
  - I love whole albums, but do use shuffle a lot. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:32
  - I shuffle but only because I only own an iPod Shuffle. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:19
  - Always random shuffle for me. Alternatively, always purchased music sorted by most recent, descending order. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:18
and they've postponed our VoIP upgrade...again... -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:07
we must have discussed this: A 20-year-old female college student is the new police chief of one of Mexico's most dangerous drug war towns on the U.S. -- (link) - Andie Oct 21, 13:03 19
- you're all assuming the drug cartels are going to bother with the chief of an apparently already ineffective police force, - mafic Oct 21, 14:33
- She will leave a good looking corpse. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:17 3
  - Not if it's a headshot. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:18 2
    - Her body will still look good, then. -- nm - Groiny Oct 21, 13:28 1
      - Just don't use a bomb. That's just wrong. -- nm - groiny si Oct 21, 13:32
- very brave girl. I hate to say it, but she'll be dead in 3 months.... - Remlik Oct 21, 13:15
- Veronica de los Mars -- nm - hachiko Oct 21, 13:12
- maybe she get's sons of anarchy on her satellite dish and will make a deal with the local gang, you keep the town clean and I'll just sign the reports -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 13:09 1
  - The Mayans are going to run the Nords out of her town -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:20
- we saw her on the Today Show this morning. It's disconcerting. -- nm - Diva Oct 21, 13:09
- I ain't saying brave...naive at best. considering she's got an infant child....stupid isn't too far from the mark imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:06 5
  - This. - Stephen Oct 21, 13:32
  - I'm not sure how naive you can be living where she lives -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 13:21 3
    - To think a) she can do the job b) to fully appreciate what she's facing, I'd bet she wasn't fully informed. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:23 2
      - Cold comfort, but Mexicans tend to be more extended family oriented than us. I'm betting if she doesn't know what's going on, her abuelitas do - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 13:25 1
        
        *shrug* A toddler absent it's mom is a damn shame regardless if it's a ward of the state or being raised by aunts imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:28
- not sure brave is the right word. -- nm - sycor Oct 21, 13:05
- I assumed she intends to get rich on bribes. -- nm - bloody mara Oct 21, 13:04 1
  - It would have been redundant to simply repeat items from her job description -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 13:20
ST Music Poll -- whole albums that should be experienced as a "singular activity". - znufrii Oct 21, 13:00 35

  - Charles Mingus' "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady", The Roots' "How I Got Over", My Morning Jacket's "It Still Moves" -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:22
- Just about every Original Bway Cast recording I own. But that just might be me. -- nm - Diva Oct 21, 13:16 1
  - oh, definitely. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:16
- Supertramp - Crime of the Century -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:13
- For me...none really....maybe Metallica's S&M but I really don't care enough to devote an hour just to music. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:10 4
  - S&M is so awesome. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 13:16
  - I'll happily bounce between Cage the Elephant, Johnny Cash, The Beatles, and Apollo 440 while I'm programming. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:11 2
    - oh look, there's Do It Again ... nice. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:12 1
      - Oh, I love shuffle. I'm just saying, you *could* listen to an album in its entirety, to get a feel for it. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 13:13
- "The Fragile" or "Downward Spiral" by NIN or "Live through this" by Hole. - Mel Profit Oct 21, 13:09 4
  - most of the albums by Tool and a Perfect Circle too. -- nm - decline Oct 21, 13:13 3
    - Aenima for sure. - Mel Profit Oct 21, 13:28
    - I'm just gonna agree with these guys -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 13:22
    - Yeah, there are different kinds of albums. Sometimes the last thing that is done before release is deciding what order the songs will be in. - Spawn Oct 21, 13:16
- Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town (and if you haven't seen the HBO Documentary about it, you should). -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:05 1
  - Nebraska -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 13:10
- zappa, Who's rock operas, Clash's Sandinistas, Tull's Thick as a Brick, most symphonies and operas -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 13:04 1
  - sure, I could fill the whole board with classical pieces... :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:05
- Many Canadians hate it, but I think The Tragically Hip's "Trouble In The Henhouse" makes a great album. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 21, 13:04 3
  - who are these people who hate it? - Reagen Oct 21, 13:05 2
    - this. -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 14:28
    - people with bad music taste -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:05
- The Who - Quadrophenia -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:03
- tommy -- nm - dogbert Oct 21, 13:01
- all of them, in theory -- nm - hachiko Oct 21, 13:01 4
  - Yeah, might be easier to the list the ones not to. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:04
  - not anymore, for the "shuffle" generation. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 13:03 2
    - well, they *aren't*, but i bet most artists still spend a lot time choosing which songs to use and which order to put them for an overall experience -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 13:04 1
      - there's a difference, in my mind at least, between choosing a selection of songs to put on an album - znufrii Oct 21, 13:09
- obviously the wall and dark side of the moon. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:01 2
  - Really all Pink Floyd. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 13:02
  - I'd also add Eels - Souljacker -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:02

- Happy Birthday!! -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 21, 13:19
- Happy birthday Trish! - musubi Oct 21, 13:05 1
  - I informed her earlier. She appreciates your artistry, in theory at least. -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:22
- fun discovery: there are lullaby versions of most major artists, including a rockabye version of this song. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:00 2
  - I have Green Day on my mind, Crash got me Rock Band:: Green Day as part of my birthday swag. - Trish Oct 21, 13:52
  - there's lullaby AC/DC, i think. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 13:09
I don't understand "no time to listen to music." You can have it on while you're cooking, or doing housework, or something. -- nm - bloody mara Oct 21, 12:57 26
- now it seems I only listen to music in the car, but it used to be constantly on. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 12:59
- yeah, but that's not what spawn is advocating. He's advocating sitting down and experiencing an album as a singular activity. Which I can't do. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 12:58 24
  - Do you sit down and watch an entire movie? It is much like that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:11 2
    - *programs Netflix to show a random selection of scenes from completely different movies* -- nm - Bery si Oct 21, 13:12 1
      - "orange and teal digital colouring? Next movie. Humans shouldn't look like oranges." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:13
  - F*ck spawn. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 13:00 1
    - L5. (nm) - musubi Oct 21, 13:03
  - you start the album. do whatever else you're doing while it's playing start to finish - hachiko Oct 21, 12:59 18
    - I don't really want to listen to Sychronicity all the way through if I'm going to be forced to listen to Mother - Max Oct 21, 13:18 6
      - But see, I don't just want to hear the "best songs". That is not what life is about. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:21 5
        
        You should give up power steering and air conditioning and sugar and toilet paper and just live the way nature intended. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 13:23 4
        
        No, you don't get it. Those are all part of the car, or the meal or the house. See? -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:25 3
        
        Those are all better versions of the original. You spend all your time walking to your destination if you want, I'll take faster and better method. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 13:27 2
        
        I have no idea what you are talking about. I want the car, not the bumper. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:34 1
        
        but if you could build your own car from scratch... - Max Oct 21, 13:44
    - Driving is the best, if you have to be doing something. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:07
    - Shuffle is my friend. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:00 9
      - me to. Thankfully I figured out how to 'join' tracks so that stuff like Floyd's music or The Beatles.... - Remlik Oct 21, 13:20 3
        
        Yeah, but you have actually listened to them at some point. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:27 2
        
        true. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 13:30 1
        
        I listen to random songs more than I listen to albums. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 13:35
      - You're the devil. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 13:01 2
        
        The devil's greatest trick was convincing the world that he was a friendly message board creator. -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 13:03 1
        
        I mean like *orca* fat. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 13:03
      - no it's not - hachiko Oct 21, 13:01 1
        
        Word. - znufrii Oct 21, 13:01
And yet, it totally works for how music uses me. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 12:57 4
- Does it leave c-notes on the bedroom dresser for you? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 12:59 3
  - C-notes? Is the music doing it 20 times? (nm) - musubi Oct 21, 13:04 1
    - It used him all night long. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 13:05
  - beat me daddy, eight to the bar -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 13:01
You better run all day and run all night. And keep your dirty feelings deep inside. - Spawn Oct 21, 12:56 1
- I used to rock and roll ev-ery day and party ev=ery night, then it was just once a week or so -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 12:58
