Kind LIR, but I thought it was great and so am posting once more time. Graphic design meets comic books meets the mass market. -- (link) - emoticripple Dec 16, 14:29
Pick my movie -- Doubt, Milk, Che, or Rachel Getting Married -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 14:27 28
- Mmmm. Rachel Getting Married In DoubtChe Milk -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 14:43

  - More uncomfortable than The Plaza? -- nm - Danonezer Scrooge Dec 16, 14:42 1
    - Yes. More uncomfortable than even LaFont. I saw Lust, Caution at The Tara and my butt was numb despite the stimulating onscreen performances. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:43
- Che sounds most stimulating. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 14:37
- Milk, it has alot of Oscar buzz and was filmed in my neighborhood. -- nm - Stacy Dec 16, 14:36
- Hm... I'd say either Doubt or Milk... 4 1/2 hours of Che is just too long -- nm - secretslacker Dec 16, 14:35
- RGM. -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 16, 14:30
- If you have the chance to see Che in its full four-hour glory, by all means do it -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 14:29 15

      - The Ziegfeld starts a Harry Potter-a-thon on Friday -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 14:33 4

Steve Jobs will not deliver the next apple keynote speech -- (link) - oblique Dec 16, 14:24 10
- Bound to happen sometime -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 14:36
- Surest sign yet that Steve Jobs is not well. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 14:30 6
  - is there talk that he is sick? -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 14:32 4
    - I believe pancreatic cancer (a pretty nasty type of cancer) is the prevailing rumor. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 14:36 2
      - Yikes. I would have assumed prostate. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 14:38 1

Honestly, who steals pizza? [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 16, 14:20 14
- Someone who probably scams for a living is my guess. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:24 10
  - I'm just wondering how much of a degenerate one has to be? that just boggles my mind. - Mel Profit Dec 16, 14:34 1
    - I'm gathering he's passed several bounced checks to get on the "no check" list. It's just a hop/skip/jump to credit card fraud. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:37
  - maybe he's more like Winona Ryder... doesn't *have* to do it, but gets a thrill out of it? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 14:28
  - I'm thinking that someone who summons the scam-ee to his home, probably doesn't scam for a living. -- nm - sheba Dec 16, 14:26 1
    - I get the feeling he is only there temporarily. With NO CHECKS on his ticket, he's already bounced a few. -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:30
  - Though I mean, did he not think I wasn't going to find out and have a perfect description of him? -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:26 4
    - Yeah, hardcore scamming requires at least a little cleverness. This guy sounds like he'll likely die in a manner that qualifies him for a Darwin Award -- nm - sheba Dec 16, 14:28 3
      - Maybe the depth of his cleverness only went as far as, "If I only come to the door wearing boxers, they can't describe what I was wearing." -snicker- -- nm - Qale Dec 16, 14:29 2
        
        That might be enough, if it turns out that he actually broke into that home just long enough for you to deliver there. -- nm - sheba Dec 16, 14:31 1
        
        It's times like these I wished 4chan's anonymous *was* my personal army. - Qale Dec 16, 14:36
- It made me think of Elaine on Seinfeld. When she had her food delivered to a janitor's closet. -- nm - Amy Dec 16, 14:22
- That guy just isn't smart. -- nm - Mop Dec 16, 14:21 1
  - "Me? I stole some pizza." -- nm - Guy about to get ass-raped in prison Dec 16, 14:22
OK. Listen up, Apple. If you're serious about a Netbook, and you don't charge more for it than my new laptop... I WILL BUY ONE. -- (link) - Mop Dec 16, 14:19 1
- Dear Mop, Apple products carry a premium price. If you're not cool enough to afford it, sucks to be you. Sincerely, Apple Computers -- nm - oblique Dec 16, 14:26

        Chillax man. I'm not hitting and running here. I'm honestly looking for news stories from around those days. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:34 3

        Okay, finally got a search parameter that only brought up stories from Day One and Day Two and it appears the denials are about "deals". - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:51 1
        
        [deleted]
- On Day One and Day Two, the line was definitely Obama and the senior team had no contact. (And for CCC, I'm not saying they're guilty.) - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:21 1

  - The version of the news that falsely claims Obama said nobody on his staff ever talk to the gov about the seat - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 16, 14:29 11
    - [deleted] 10
      - I thought the point that had people all in a tizzy was that Axelrod said that Obama talked to the Governor about it and then Obama said he didn't and - pmb Dec 16, 14:37 1
        
        [deleted]
      - If they said that...sure...but that's not what I recall being said. - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 16, 14:36 7
        
        The Axelrod statement tends to help. Do you honestly believe he just misspoke? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:43 5

        RNC in three days: Axelrod is a liar and must go! When will Obama fire the liar? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 16, 15:00

        It's about the team changing stories (which is where the sloppy politics comes in). That said, I've conceded above that I was wrong on the denials... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:59 1
        
        From what I've read, Obama and the Gov were not on good terms, so I wouldn't hesitate believing Obama would farm the task out to staff - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 16, 15:04

  - I think it's just sloppy politics which makes them look prone to fib when caught. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 14:22 1

- But...this way it makes it seems like they have something to hide, or there is some problem - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 16, 14:17
I'm very sad about the worst news ever. - Callisto Dec 16, 14:13 13
