WTF is Walking Dead? -- nm - oblique Nov 1, 08:09 5
- one of the best comic books of the last 5 years turned into an AMC TV show -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 08:13

  - ST really seems to be polarized on this show -- nm - decline Nov 1, 08:12 1

what a hole in the ground -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:08
I've never heard of this post-wedding photo tradition: trashing the dress. Why would anyone do that after all the time and money spent?! -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 1, 08:04 25
- the idear is to show such minor details don't matter in the new and financial independent life you're going to have now -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:13 1
  - I think it's just payback to get rid of all the stress that goes into planning the wedding in the first place... -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 08:14
- a friend of mine mentioned it this weekend - she can't pass it down, it's way too big for her now - she wants photos -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 08:11
- yeah, i've never heard of that either. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:07 17
  - it has become popular in the US. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:08 16
    - it bothers me on a 'wasteful' level. if you don't want to keep it, that's fine, but donate it, give it away, make something else out of it. - Andie Nov 1, 08:10 15
      - *nods* Kelly debated whether to keep hers or donate it. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 08:16
      - Like big weddings and receptions *themselves* aren't a huge waste -- nm - con_carne Nov 1, 08:13 5
        
        well, if you want to get into that, then that opens a whole other topic. - Andie Nov 1, 08:14
        
        sure, you can't save the flowers or the cake. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:13 3
        
        except people do both. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:14 2
        
        which I personally think is stupid (other than the cake top). -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:19
        
        The top of the cake for sure. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 08:15
      - it's like any other item of clothing. The world does not have a clothing shortage. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:10 7
        
        depends on how big you think the world is -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:14
        
        have you *never* seen those charities that give prom gowns to girls who can't afford, or women who buy a dress on ebay because retail is outrageous? -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:11 5
        
        That aside...though she'll never wear it again, that dress means something to Carrie - Jim Nov 1, 08:12 2
        
        this i totally understand. but, like i said, even if you don't want it, trashing *anything* bothers me. -- nm - Andie Nov 1, 08:13 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 08:14
        
        fair enough, but there is seriously no shortage of wedding dresses. If I want to trash mine, I'm not depriving anyone. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:12 1
        
        No but you are helping to rob them blind. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 08:17
- why not? YOu'll never use it again. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:07 2
  - but your daughter could -- nm - decline Nov 1, 08:08 1
    - most of the time they probably wouldn't want to. Fashions change. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:08
- revenge? -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 08:06
My dream last night: I was caught in the middle of a fight between my roommates, Qale and Matt Damon, so I went and saw a movie with Max. -- nm - Dano Nov 1, 07:57 1
- so it was a nightmare then ? -- nm - decline Nov 1, 08:00
the anti Bob Dylan contingent should really check out the samples of his Christmas album on Amazon. you'll never stop cringing. -- nm - TFox Nov 1, 07:55

- Happy Pheidippides day (2,500th anniversary ) -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 08:03
- Mine was flayed alive and crucified upside down...why would you name a kid after a horrible torture victim? - ceregon Nov 1, 07:53 3
  - is that Peter, or was someone else crucified upside down? -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:01 2
    - Bartholomew, Peter was crucified upside down, but he wasn't skinned alive first -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 08:03 1
      - ah, didn't know that. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 08:08
Weekends Movies: The Changeling (1980), B-. The House of the Devil, C+. Ghostbusters (at the Egyptian Theater), A. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Nov 1, 07:45 20

- Prince of Persia: D (I didn't actually finish it) -- nm - oblique Nov 1, 08:01

- Catfish: B+, Paranormal Activity 2: B, Alice in Wonderland: D -- nm - Dano Nov 1, 07:53 7
  - A B+ for Catfish? Really? With your love of stuff with teeth snacking on humans, I thought we'd be a better movie match. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 07:55 4
    - I wasn't really liking it but I ultimately found it very touching. -- nm - Dano Nov 1, 07:58 3
      - but did you get a nice warm and fuzzy feeling at the end of Saw 7? -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 08:04
      - where it went, which is not what you think going in, is very endearing. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 1, 08:04 1
        
        Right. For a lot of the time I was just finding the main guys mildly annoying, but the twist turned out to catch me emotionally. -- nm - 127 Danos Nov 1, 08:13
  - Walking Dead: D -- nm - Dano Nov 1, 07:55 1
    - huh. maybe i shouldn't bother. (i thought the comic was overrrated...)... - x Nov 1, 08:10

2 things,,, 1, it's November, so i'm back to my normal handle, and 2, it's November, so it's ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 1, 07:44
I highly recommend artichoke hearts wrapped in bacon. It's super easy and they're delicious. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 07:42 3
- :) anything wrapped in bacon is delicious. How did your dinner go ? -- nm - decline Nov 1, 07:45 2
  - it's was fantastic. have to do it again soon -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 08:04
  - tomato soup? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 1, 07:52
LYC: Betty White and Nicole Scherzinger will have minor roles as villians in Men in Black 3. -- (link) - MDH Nov 1, 07:40
LYC - I am forcing Netflix to send me " very long waits" by having nothing but those in my que - is there a term for this? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 07:17 8
- I find that "Very Long Waits" typically don't mean anything. - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:41 2
  - I waited over a month for "Princess and the Frog" and "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 07:42 1
    - On the second title, I'm sure they were doing you a favor. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:50
- No idea. Let's create one. Slowjacking? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 1, 07:28 3
  - "Pippyjacking." -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:41 1
    - that sounds so sexy and not in a Net flix way - Epiphany Nov 1, 07:50

LYC: This morning I made coffee at home, only to discover I accidentally bought decaf. It's a miracle I could drive to work. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:05
Human Target Disc 1: C- (For some reason this show just wasn't doing it for me) -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 07:01
I think someone replaced the calves in my legs with zombie calves. - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:58 3

Last week's Rocky Horror Glee Show numbers were remarkably well done with regards to the original. But of the 5 friends I watched it with, I was the - Hotkiss Nov 1, 06:57 9
- Eh...the whole episode annoyed me. First off...I wanted to punch Will in his face. Over and over again. - Jim Nov 1, 07:08 8
  - Yeah, I wasn't overly thrilled with it either. The musical numbers haven't been the greatest lately. - Subversive Nov 1, 07:34
  - I'm Just A Sweet Transvestite by Mercedes was a big "wtf" number, but Will and Emma's sexy duet was awesome. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 1, 07:18 5
    - Mercedes can sing though. Emma and Will was ok...but there was almost no difference from Sarandon's version. - Jim Nov 1, 07:48 2
      - I can see your point. My male roommate hates Glee. "I'll just turn on the radio if I want to listen to these songs." -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 1, 07:54 1
        
        And see...it didn't start that way...but that's what it's becoming. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 07:57
    - by far my favorite number - I enjoyed the entire episode immensely -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 07:40 1
      - I think that was our favorite number in episode. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 1, 07:44
  - They made Will atypically dumb in order to serve the plot. -- nm - nubby Nov 1, 07:12

If you're in Atlanta, you can be an extra in the Ryan Reynolds baseball movie at Turner Field -- (link) - nubby Nov 1, 06:54
Netflix added a bunch of stuff for streaming. Couple notable: Billy Elliot, Dr. Doolittle 2 (for the kids), and Alice in Wonderland (2010) -- nm - kilbooooo Nov 1, 06:51 1
- awesome thanks for the heads up -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 06:52
We really need a DVR player now that we have a little boy. Any ST suggestions - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:48 25
- When we switched back to Cablevision we got triple play with one DVR included. Not sure the monthly fee. -- nm - lileve Nov 1, 08:12
- we used the cox dvr while we still had digital cable, but when we dropped down to limited basic, the dvr had to go too, so we picked up the Tivo. - TFox Nov 1, 07:19
- If it's available in your area, I highly recommend U-Verse. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 06:54
- Short of building your own, Tivo is the best -- nm - kilbooooo Nov 1, 06:51
- First get one from cable or satellite provider to see what you think then take time to decide on a purchase model. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 1, 06:51 7
  - yeah. i use the comcast one + it's totally fine. i actually got a tivo free as a package deal with my tv, but i sold it....nm - x Nov 1, 07:08 3
    - I find with the comcast one that it doesn't have the storage space needed - Will Hunting Nov 1, 07:23 2
      - yeah, i don't watch anywhere near that much tv a week. i olnly record a handful of shows + occasional soccer matches....nm - x Nov 1, 07:57
      - you make a good point. when we had cox, we were std def only. i don't know what it would hold with HD shows. not a lot. -- nm - TFox Nov 1, 07:27
  - this is what I would do. -- nm - decline Nov 1, 06:52 2
    - Unless you watch a lot of TV, I'd say this as well. You're not locked in, haven't shelled out $100's, and can try it for a few months. - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:57 1
      - yeah, I think this is the option. We really don't watch too much. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:58
- TiVo. All others suck in comparison. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:50 12
  - is there a subscription I have to pay for with Tivo? -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:51 11
    - This is what gets me...I'm already paying for my TV...now I have to pay to record my TV? - Jim Nov 1, 07:05 5
      - For me, it's worth it for the ease of use, the menus, etc. - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:08 3
        
        Your IM is probably a large part of it. U-Verse couldn't be too much easier, I don't think. - Jim Nov 1, 07:10 1
        
        We've been tempted to try out U-verse. - JaxSean Nov 1, 07:17
        
        I tried theirs once and it was horrible in comparison. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:10
      - it's worth it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:08
    - I got the lifetime subscription and it was well worth it. Also, Tivo is a thousand times better than the others. -- nm - dr. frankenloosi Nov 1, 07:03
    - Yes, I think it's $16.95/month for the first one? (It's worth it.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 1, 06:52
    - yes. -- nm - decline Nov 1, 06:52 2
      - huh, might as well use the one that's provided through cablevision then -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:53 1
        
        no. -- nm - dr. frankenloosi Nov 1, 07:03
I will have to patrol for discount candy today. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 1, 06:44 3

The Walking Dead (spoilers) - amoxy Nov 1, 06:35 5
- did anyone spot Dano? -- nm - loosilu Nov 1, 07:15
- I loved every minute of it - they did not spare expense on special effects - that is for sure - Epiphany Nov 1, 06:54
- The amount of complainey I see on ST about this show since last night disheartens me. I thought it was a great premiere. I was riveted! (Spoils) - HdnAgnda Nov 1, 06:49
- I enjoyed it very much, however (spoils) - The Legend of CQ Hollow Nov 1, 06:43
