ST Poll -- Based solely on the name of the town, where would you rather live, Narberth or Bala Cynwyd? -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 13:20 6
- I like Bala Cynwyd better, but Narberth is probably the one you want. (and just for the fyi, pronounced Bala Kinwood) -- nm - decline Nov 16, 13:26 1
  - haven't been through either yet, drove around Conshohocken and Mt. Airy this weekend, just to get a sense of the neighborhoods... -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 13:29
- either one sounds like you might encounter a Balrog in the nearby mines -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 13:25
- I know the area and I would pick narberth because you will get way more for your money. bala's just a name. -- nm - chromanda Nov 16, 13:23

Final Fantasy XIII is currently $18.99 at Amazon Gold Box. - David Nov 16, 13:07 3
- PS3 version? Or is the Xbox version on sale as well? (I saw the Daily Deal for PS3 but it wasn't for Xbox.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:13
- [deleted]
- it ain't even worth that much -- nm - decline Nov 16, 13:09
mmmmmmmmmmm -- (link) - ty97 Nov 16, 13:06
I can't believe the TSA is actually going after the don't touch my junk guy for civil penalties. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 13:05 9
- I'm glad they're putting all hands on deck to preemptively catch the first JunkBomb. /sarcasm -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:11
- I'm ok with it. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:10 1
  - (Also, I hope the guy is forever known as "Don't Touch My Junk" guy and no one ever remembers his name. hee.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:10
- Are you serious? - Stephen Nov 16, 13:10 1

- don't tase his junk, bro -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:06 1
  - I had an extra t when I read tase - ty97 Nov 16, 13:07
- that's all sorts of messed up -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 13:06
[deleted] 56
- Soon to be overrated on a whole new platform! -- nm - The Beattles Nov 16, 13:10 1
  - Even I am a little surprised this wasn't me making this post. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:12
- every announcement involving Beatles music is always huge. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:08 52
  - who, at this point, doesn't have all the Beatles music they want? - Reagen Nov 16, 13:10 50
    - Yet, much like Star Wars, the stuff still sells time and time again. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:17 2
      - Beatles and Stars Wars fans are stupid. We know this already. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:19 1
        
        I know that...but Apple knows to yell it loud and proud and get their cut of the stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 13:20
    - what does that have to do with whether people keep buying it? - loosilu Nov 16, 13:15
    - me, actually. some of the files in that torrent were bad. -- nm - zork Nov 16, 13:13
    - confession: i don't own a single Beatles thing. i like them but don't think i've every bought an album in any format - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:13 1
      - Likewise, except I own Beatles Rock Band. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:16
    - [deleted]
    - Young people? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:11 40
      - They know how to digitize music. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:13 39
        
        And have already ripped their parents' CDs. -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:15 2
        
        Oh, I'm sure Beatles music is stolen more than any other. And it will still sell shitloads. - loosilu Nov 16, 13:16
        
        *ding* -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 13:15
        
        You think they should have to buy it on CD and rip it? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:15 13
        
        No, I'm wondering who wanted to and hasn't. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:17 12
        
        I have all their studio albums, but I'll be checking iTunes for singles etc that I don't have -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 13:20
        
        You understand that people keep getting born, right? Somebody may be 10 right now and decide they want Beatles music sometime in the next 10 years. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:20 9
        
        MDH doesn't even know who they are. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:23 1
        
        Were they the backup singers for Gaga last summer? -- nm - MDH si Nov 16, 13:24
        
        Oh, so why didn't they say this announcement was for 10 year olds? -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:22 5
        
        I guess they didn't realize people could forget about the whole concept of posterity. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:23 2
        
        Fact: All Beatles songs were unpurchasable before today! -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:25 1
        
        Physical media is dead, so, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:25
        
        usually you are not so unimaginative. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:23 1
        
        Usually you are this tunnel-visioned. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:24
        
        Fact: I have bought Revolver three times. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:20
        
        well, the reissue is remasters, for starters. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:18
        
        that would require them having access to optical or magnetic copies ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:15 21
        
        Which their parents have had laying around for 20 years... -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:16 14
        
        CDs get lost, stolen, broken, corrupted. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:19 13
        
        which is why they ripped them ten years ago. - Reagen Nov 16, 13:19 12
        
        what part of "remasters" don't you understand? -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:21 5
        
        Remasters. The "Barbie gets a new hat" of music releases. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:23 3
        
        I don't know why you're being like this. - loosilu Nov 16, 13:25 2
        
        This is like the 4th Beatles remastering. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:26 1
        
        nope. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:27
        
        meesa jar-jar ringo -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:22
        
        What part of "young people" don't you get? Not everyone was born when you were. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:20 5
        
        which brings me back to the point of disputing that this is actually big news. "Oh it's for ten year olds." -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 13:23 3
        
        check the sales figures in a week and tell me how unimportant it is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:24 1
        
        They definitely picked a good time to launch it, just in time for christmas shopping. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:25
        
        This is big news in the same sense that finding the client's keys in Zero Effect was big news. - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:24
        
        or "people". not everyone becomes interested at the same time. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:22
        
        [deleted]
        
        (actually, that makes me wonder - does vinyl count as optical?) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:15 4
        
        It's pretty much the definition of "analog". -- nm - Ender Nov 16, 13:17
        
        only in the sense that it's visible. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 13:17 1
        
        it could be played using lasers ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:17
        
        I don't see how. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:16
    - *raises hand* - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:11
  - [deleted]
- It's certainly not "groundbreaking", but to say it isn't big music news is just silly. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 13:06
if any glee fans get the oprah network on cable, she just bought my friend's documentary "Most Valuable Players" about the Freddie Awards in Easton -- (link) - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:04 5
- was the movie good? I mean, I have local interest, but is it good? -- nm - chromanda Nov 16, 13:06 1
  - it actually really is (not just shilling). the schools are hypercompetitive, and the students are great on-camera -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:08
- Congrats! -- nm - lileve Nov 16, 13:05
- Coattails, dude! - con_carne Nov 16, 13:05 1
  - he, but yes -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:05
[deleted] 2
- Technically he scored 2. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 16, 13:04 1
  - And when we factor in level of competition, he used a magnifying glass on an ant farm. -- nm - David Nov 16, 13:08
Oh, and Shipping for Tuesday: How to Train Your Dragon and Toy Story 3 - oblique Nov 16, 13:00 3

How the heck is it only 3pm? - ty97 Nov 16, 13:00 9
- right??? this Fall back crap is the suck -- nm - JenBro Nov 16, 13:10 7
  - well you can't spring forward unless you fall back. vicious cycle -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:12
  - You want to be on daylight saving time all year round? -- nm - mara Nov 16, 13:11 5
    - no no no - the "adjustment" I could live without - I really dislike leaving work in the dark. -- nm - JenBro Nov 16, 13:13 4
      - Right, but without the adjustment, we'd be on daylight saving time all year round. Unless you're saying you don't want to go on DST to begin with, but - mara Nov 16, 13:14 1
        
        well it used to be even worse when the date they changed it was earlier - JenBro Nov 16, 13:18
      - well yeah - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:14 1
        
        but we're talking about me here - JenBro Nov 16, 13:14
- Do we get pizza in the harem? -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 13:01
CY: I feel like that's Cosmo's cover every month. How many new ways do they find each month!? -- nm - MDH Nov 16, 13:00 5
- [deleted]
- We're the board that talks about which hand we use, so we probably shouldn't judge Cosmo too harshly :) -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 13:01 3
  - actually I think you can harsh on them for having far too many issues that simply have readers writing in their stories or sex tips - JenBro Nov 16, 13:11
  - Did I miss a poll? - oblique Nov 16, 13:02 1
    - I don't know, did you? Would that be considered a strike? -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 13:03
ain't no sun up in the sky...stormy weather that's why -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 12:59

  - I save the caps, just to enlighten ST. I have one more left on my desk. These caps cover Friday, the weekend, yesterday and today. - Jim Nov 16, 13:04 2
    - [deleted]
    - I wonder how many of the people answering "yes" actually mean it? - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:09
  - I figured he was on #717. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 13:02
- because of bats? -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 13:01
- I did not -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 13:00
- yes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 13:00
dang nubby! -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 12:59 2
- see ... it was less than 24 hours ago that we talked about wanting the trap and how he needed to catch the dragon mouse to get the chest for the blue - JenBro Nov 16, 13:07 1
  - but of course -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 13:09
