STIS: on last night's TDS, Jon made a joke about his blue paper. Why are his notes printed on blue paper? - loosilu Dec 8, 19:51 4
- plain white blows out video camera receptors -- nm - pixmas Dec 8, 19:53 3
  - used to. Modern cameras can handle white, so blue cards are just a relic of the old tech. - howie Dec 8, 20:00 1
    - "tradition". -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Dec 8, 20:03

- Honestly...I said it last week in the recap that this was the dumbest group ever on the show. - Jim Dec 8, 19:29 3
  - I was actively angry for a good 20 minutes of tonight's show. -- nm - David Dec 8, 19:34 2
    - It's a good thing this show has a very solid 10 year history. This season would have been enough to make me quit the show - Jim Dec 8, 19:41 1
      - I like this season because everyone seems so batshit crazy that it's impossible to predict. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 19:54
Wow, Kick-Ass is rather abhorrent. And cheerfully so. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 19:25 17
- I loved it. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:31 1

    - I have hopes for The Tourist. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 19:55 2

        "When you upgrade it from room service, it's quite serious" is a great line. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 19:58

        Awesome. Good to hear. My brother highly recommended it. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 19:56

I'm all for doing this giving tree stuff, but I saw three cards on a tree today, and they requested: -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:15 10
- I have to admit, I feel bad. Kids are like puppies. I'm guessing the older kids get passed up for the younger ones. - Mop Dec 8, 19:19 3
  - I try to go for the older kids for this reason. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 19:26
  - Well, it's not only that - as you get older, your needs change. - kelly Dec 8, 19:20 1
    - I feel for that kid, all the way from here. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 19:26
- ... - Mop Dec 8, 19:16 5
  - aw. they just have no idea of monetary value. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 19:16 4
    - I'll get the boy a laptop and the girl an iPod before I get that kid ax body spray. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:17 3
      - he just wants to smell nice! -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 19:17 1
        
        Which is why I won't get him Ax. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:20
      - this. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 19:17

This is why I hate waiver wires in FF - Stephen Dec 8, 18:46 17
- yeah, i really wish there was some type of limit to the blood fued stuff - tRuMaN is helpfull, sometimes. Dec 8, 18:50 15
  - I actually prefer an open waiver wire, rather than one that runs once a week. - Stephen Dec 8, 19:00 3
    - i actually prefer the open waiver wire, but a limit on the # of waiver wire moves. -- nm - tRuMaN is helpfull, sometimes. Dec 8, 19:03 2
      - What about FAAB? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 19:08 1
        
        yeah, i like that system a lot better. -- nm - tRuMaN is helpfull, sometimes. Dec 8, 19:10
  - Stewie is loading up for next year, he just picked up Ryab Grant and Deangelo Williams, both on IR -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 18:52 10
    - Anyone who is either out of the playoffs or has the open spots should be considering that. -- nm - David Dec 8, 18:55 9
      - Sure, if there was anyone left worth picking up... - Stephen Dec 8, 19:03 3
        
        You know, there are other reasons to pick them up instead of just keeping them. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 19:16 2
        
        True -- nm - Stephen Dec 8, 19:20
        
        Yeah, if I coulda, I'd grab them and then try to trade for the missing iece in my keepers for next year. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 19:18
      - oh for sure, I had deangelo saved till my team came alive -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 18:56 4
        
        I have to save a spot on my Roster for Frank Gore, but I am hoping Pierre Thomas (who I just picked up) - amoxy Dec 8, 18:58 3
        
        I wonder if there's any chance in the future to add an IR or rookie spot to the keepers list. - Stephen Dec 8, 19:06 2
        
        That's not going to happen in Blood Feud. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 19:10 1
        
        ah, ok, wasn't sure. - Stephen Dec 8, 19:12

Why is Amazon Video-on-Demand only 1-click purchases? - JaxSean Dec 8, 18:26 11

  - yeah, I had just found it. Are all the movies HD-quality? - JaxSean Dec 8, 18:40 9
    - There's HD and SD. HD movies are usually 1 buck more (5.99 vs. 4.99). I find it absurdly expensive, either way. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:23 3
      - Those are for rental only. He's talking about for purchase. -- nm - David Dec 8, 19:28 1
        
        Ah, sorry. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:31
      - For the Hangover, they had "Extended" in SD, but only regular in HD. Strange. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 19:24
    - None of the movies are HD to the best of my knowledge. That's why I've only bought about 5 of them as opposed to over a thousand tv episodes. -- nm - David Dec 8, 18:51 4
      - hmm. weird, thanks. - JaxSean Dec 8, 19:04 3
        
        Email them and ask. -- nm - David Dec 8, 19:05 2
        
        I'm trying to figure out how to download the videos first, then I may try it on Shrek 4. - JaxSean Dec 8, 19:08 1

I'm trying to find a book and can't come up with the right terms to hunt it down - It's a knitting book - the liioulu with m's Dec 8, 18:16 7
- Can you remember anything more specific. A unique pattern or something? -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 18:32 6
  - Uhm...yeah, but I'm having a problem describing them. - the liioulu with m's Dec 8, 18:37 5
    - Just found it. I should have been looking under handspun instead of knitting. - the liioulu with m's Dec 8, 18:42 4
      - well now I need to know what the book is. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 18:49 2
        
        Intertwined. -- nm - the liioulu with m's Dec 8, 18:54 1
        
        interesting! I don't know that one. it's not the genre I generally buy. very funky. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 18:56
      - Yay!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 18:46

- It's sounding more and more like "professional baseball player" is the ultimate Slacker Talk career goal. - Beryllium Dec 8, 18:07
- *breaks down and cries* - Epiphany Dec 8, 18:06 4
  - 6yr/140mil is not out of line with what you guys can offer. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 18:08 3
    - If they wanted any real chance of retaining him, it was going to have to be at around these numbers. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:59 2
      - Yeah...course 6/140 for them....then to see the Yanks offer 7/175 (not exactly outside the range here) would really make things uneasy - Will Hunting Dec 8, 19:16 1
        
        The problem for the Rangers is, if they don't match that offer, they're going to have pissed fans. - TFox Dec 8, 19:18
Lost seasons 1 - 6 are all now on Netflix streaming. Also, has anyone seen Guillermo del Toro's Cronos? -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 8, 18:04 1

  - kim, you're logged into the wrong account -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 18:05 7
    - No, I am definitely the Claire in our relationship. We joke about it a lot when Phil does things she's done. -- nm - David Dec 8, 18:09 6
      - You can't be Claire. you're too likeable. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 18:50
