Insurance opinions desired: I was rearended on the way home. - Ender Dec 16, 16:05 10

- Serves you right. -- nm - Steve 114 SI Dec 16, 15:49 1
  - I honestly think the director equates weather closings with giving the staff undeserved time off. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:50
- that means your car can join the other's on the ice rink instead of waiting till the tow trucks clear most of the mess up -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 16, 15:46
- Fo' shizzle -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 15:40
Wow. - David Dec 16, 15:35 8

- ps. I missed asshat hour, what's that? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 15:16 40
  - I assumed she meant the spoiler kerfuffle this morning. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:18 36
    - Exactly. I think I actually hate that shit worse than Wiggum does. - Trish Dec 16, 15:28 34
      - I apologized. But there's a statute of limitations. I ain't pretending a spoiler from Citizen Kane deserves the same respect as one from the finale - TWuG Dec 16, 15:39 29

        you obviously haven't wanted to watch that much if you've managed not to for twenty-odd years. - mafic Dec 16, 16:11
        
        You must live in a cave. It's basically the ne plus ultra of movie spoilers. - TWuG Dec 16, 15:51 14
        
        It or Soylent Green. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 16, 16:17
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        It's not about how old the movie is, but how well-known the ending is (or at least is supposed to be) -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 15:56 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        *quack* -- nm - mafic Dec 16, 16:06
        
        I agree with your IM - see my other post - but count me as one of the people amazed that you didn't know the ending -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 16:01 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        I challenge that. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 16:16
        
        There's also the new generations of moviegoers who don't know about classic films -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 16:09 2
        
        And don't really care to watch Classic Films -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 16:10 1
        
        Agreed. that said, how can someone not know Rosebud? - loosilu Dec 16, 16:14
        
        That's a fair assumption. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 16:07
        
        strangely, I agree with the first sentence of your IM but not the second. - Roger More Dec 16, 15:53
        
        I don't think there's a universal statute of limitations. I think it's set by a community. People have asked politely that consideration be shown. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:52
        
        You have got to be fucking kidding me -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 15:46 3
        
        It is kind of amazing, considering how often it's been spoiled here. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:51 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        it's on tshirts and shit. it's everywhere! -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 16:17
        
        And all TV shows should be watched within 24 hours! -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:40 7
        
        pixie? -- nm - nubby Dec 16, 15:46
        
        I'm actually not sure where I'd draw a rule for TV. Might depend on the show or even episode. - TWuG Dec 16, 15:45 4
        
        Nobody's saying you can't talk about it. We're saying when you talk about, keep it in the IM and use spoiler headings. (I don't care about being - mara Dec 16, 15:49 3
        
        And I'm saying after a certain point the onus is on the person not wanting to be spoiled. I'm not treating a 67 year old film as if it was released - TWuG Dec 16, 15:54 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Because what Amy viewed as a spoiler, I viewed as a throwaway. She was right to be offended. Even I wouldn't set a limitation at 24 hours. - TWuG Dec 16, 16:02
        
        [deleted]
      - you know what??? - Remlik Dec 16, 15:31 3
        
        *bows* - Trish Dec 16, 15:36 2
        
        It's not even a function of age. Everyone has a whole list of movies they haven't seen, no matter how old they are. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 15:39
        
        knew -> new -- nm - nattering nabob of nitpickery Dec 16, 15:37
    - ah. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 15:19
  - "If you don't know who the asshat is..." - con_carne Dec 16, 15:17 2
    - dammit. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 15:17 1
      - /hands you your asshat. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 15:21
- best article I've read this year. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 15:16
- you're slipping. -- nm - Remlik Dec 16, 15:15 1
  - She's probably not a vegetarian. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:16
mandy, you obviously haven't read that drinking women article. "dinner" is code for drinks *and* dinner. -- nm - Max Dec 16, 15:11 2
- but where halfsies are, there is no food. see? -- nm - candy canes love mandy lane Dec 16, 15:23
- Moreover, if school were ending for me, I would expect drinks to get handed to me -- nm - con_carne Dec 16, 15:14
Oops, someone probably saw a fatal error/had a post eaten there. Sorry about that. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:07
Mr. Bush, I have come for your sole. -- nm - The Grim Shoer Dec 16, 15:06 5

  - How very mature - Stephen Dec 16, 15:30
- "Nike to see you" cracked me up. -- nm - nubby (good guy good class bad jokes) Dec 16, 15:07 2
  - Nice, but I reference that McBain joke too often in daily life - con_carne Dec 16, 15:16
  - Me too :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 16, 15:08
Without using Google or Wiki or any other internet site, can you name who was on the American $20 bill one hundred years ago, in 1908? -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 15:05 13
- I'll go with Franklin -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 15:11
- I'd say someone not too important, or removing him would have created an uproar -- nm - Guigue Dec 16, 15:07 8
  - [deleted]
  - You would be incorrect. This person one of the most important people in American history -- nm - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 15:09 5
    - Then with Lincoln and Franklin gone, it's between Washington and Steven Seagal -- nm - Guigue Dec 16, 15:13 3
      - And the correct answer is George Washington - Mr. Havens Dec 16, 15:19
      - WTF? -- nm - Jim Cantore Dec 16, 15:17
