      - The guy I'm thinking of is really not a recognizable, household name. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 09:17

Jezebel's critique of Michael Bay's Victoria's Secret bra ads is that they're very much like Michael Bay's Chevy car ads. -- (link) - Mop (214 lbs) Dec 9, 08:46 2

Classy Celeb: Crazy woman interrupts Michael Buble concert so he can meet her son. He pulls him onstage, lets him sing. Buble's reaction = priceless -- (link) - MDH Dec 9, 08:20 [youtube] 24
- WIN! -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Dec 9, 08:59

  - he is canadian *ducks* -- nm - zork Dec 9, 08:41
  - other than the fact that he cheated on Emily Blunt *and* his former girlfriend (fiancee?) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 08:40 5
    - not endorsing such behavior, but i can't *imagine* the volume of women who throw themselves at Michael Buble. - TFox Dec 9, 08:42 1
      - Yeah, don't even go through the charade of a serious relationship unless you're committed. We'd rather cheer on the tomcatting. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 08:44
    - I did not know that. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:42 2
      - This is his current fiance' (or is it wife now?) -- (link) - Dano Dec 9, 08:46 [Image] 1
        
        I subscribe to TFox's point at this point, that man must have more women thrown at him than most anyone -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:49

      - I love that song (yes I have all his albums) but my favorite is "Me and Mrs. Jones" -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 08:29
  - He sings a lot of the "old Sinatra-esqe" hits. He sells a ton of albums. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 08:26 2
    - yeah, a young crooner. Loved his reaction in that video. -- nm - zork Dec 9, 08:26 1
      - He has a few original songs too and one make Top 40 Radio this year "Haven't Met You Yet" -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 08:27

I just wish people would stop falling for those real-life trolls. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 08:15 1

- I dont see an option to change it -- nm - eag Dec 9, 08:22 1
  - I got it by clicking someone else's profile. There was a button at the top. -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 08:27
- Do you want people who see your profile to see more pictures of you immediately, and more pictures of the things you like? -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 08:19
- Who cares, we are dead to you on Facebook -- nm - amoxy Dec 9, 08:17 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Fair enough -- nm - amoxy Dec 9, 08:22
- I like it better. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 9, 08:17
- I think it's harder to read. I'm better with bulleted lists than extended phrases put next to each other. And I like tabs. - Hotkiss Dec 9, 08:16
- yes. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 08:15
- I'm ambivalent. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 08:15
LIR: pmb, Daltry too high or too low? Also, Geddy makes some good music but he's too shrill to be a "best". It's like they expected to find ... - zork Dec 9, 08:14 4
- yeah...Geddy hasn -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 08:16 2
  - I just got tickets to go see them in April. I don't think I've seen them live since the 80's. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 08:20
  - 't been a shrill singer for decades. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 08:16
- Way too low. Easily top 5. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 08:15
from b2: Gun to your head, who was the better Beatles vocalist? I vote for Paul. - loosilu Dec 9, 08:13 8
- I think I'd pick Paul too. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 9, 08:31 4
  - I'd pick him over John but John is perfect for songs like Revolution (and Paul for ones like Eleanor Rigby) -- nm - zork Dec 9, 08:34 3
    - John had more of an edge. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 08:35 2
      - holy crap, I didn't realise that George sang "do you want to know a secret" or "roll over beethoven" -- (link) - zork Dec 9, 08:39 1
        
        He sang a bunch of stuff on Live at the BBC, too. That's a really fun set -- bunches of stuff from their live repertoire that the never recorded. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 08:45
- George's songs tend to be my fav's -- nm - zork Dec 9, 08:17
- Yoko. -- nm - sycor Dec 9, 08:14
- Ringo -- nm - decline Dec 9, 08:14
The last one on the list is Matthew Bellamy from Muse - amoxy Dec 9, 08:13 9
- I'm mad at myself for not guessing Strummer or Black Francis. And no one guessing Maynard is weird for this crew. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 08:15 7
  - I don't know if I'd put him on the list. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 08:20 5
    - He *used* to be. Maynard was crazy on stage and had (and still does) have an incredible voice. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 08:28 2
      - It's odd...I just didn't think of him when the list was discussed but I am convinced. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 08:32 1
        
        Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of him initially as well. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 08:49
    - from a vocal perspective, he'd have to be. from an energy and connection with his audience perspective, dicier. - TFox Dec 9, 08:23 1
      - Believe me I'm looking for any reason to put Maynard on that list and you may be right... - Mel Profit Dec 9, 08:29
  - Oof. Yeah, that would have probably been my next guess if the board hadn't rolled. - JaxSean Dec 9, 08:16
- That's really an insanely bad list. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 08:14

    - Yeah, I agree with you there. Favre's 2009 season was the outlyer. Hench, I pick Schaub. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 9, 08:56
- Randy Moss -- nm - amoxy Dec 9, 08:14
- Favre. You could see Fitz's decline coming a mile away given the Cardinals' QB situation - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:14

Why is it legal for lawmakers to hire registered lobbyists as aides? -- (link) - mara Dec 9, 08:11 9
- Speaking as someone who deals intimately with lobbyists and the lobbying law, prohibiting registered lobbyists is actually a foolishly stupid idea. - Max Dec 9, 08:28 1
  - Okay. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 08:54
- welcome to the revolving door of Washington. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 08:17
- Becuase the American people let them get away with it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:16
- Lobbying is a popular employment option among Congressmen, should they be voted out of office. - con_carne Dec 9, 08:15
- [deleted] 3
  - That, to me, would mean they would want to hire writers, lawyers, legal scholars, paralegals, legal researchers, former lawmakers. Even a former - mara Dec 9, 08:19 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - and why should they? - znufrii Dec 9, 08:23
