Watching ESPN at lunch, they ranked the five "hottest" QBs in the NFL currently. Stipulating Brady as #1, guess the other four. -- nm - nubby Dec 18, 09:27 1

  - I despised that movie. And not even for her. - Will Hunting Dec 18, 09:27
- I love that movie too. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 18, 09:25 1
  - Chris Klein showed more personality in 30 seconds in that movie than he has in a decade of other roles. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 18, 09:27
I hate the guy with a passion, but the opening anecdote in Christopher Hitchens's column is fantastic. -- (link) - nubby Dec 18, 09:22 2
- Again, let me stipulate that having Christopher Hitchens as the front man for atheism and "humanism" does not help the cause. - Mop Dec 18, 09:25 1
  - I'm with you. -- nm - znufrii Dec 18, 09:25

- Doesn't it play for free on Hulu? -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 09:21 2
  - Possibly, although Hulu has some geographical restrictions on some clips. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 09:22 1
    - USA Proxy! -- nm - lileve Dec 18, 09:23

    - Homeless shelter. Animal Shelter. Old persons home. -- nm - lileve Dec 18, 09:26 2
      - you honestly think that any of those places will let me show up and just work? not like, run a criminal history check? or need to train me? seriously? -- nm - the naughty list loves mandy lane Dec 18, 09:28 1
        
        That could be your start. -- nm - lileve Dec 18, 09:29

  - And the Batman voice, man. The Batman voice was distracting and comical. - Jim Dec 18, 09:12 10
    - You are correct. -- nm - kelly Dec 18, 09:17
    - I read my kid Batman storybooks and now I do the Batman voice. Inside, I'm laughing. -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 09:15
    - This argument pisses me off. It's the *exact same voice* he used in Begins. -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 09:12 7
      - Agreed. But, I'm pretty sure it simply gets more lines this time around -- nm - con_carne Dec 18, 09:14 1
        
        OF course. -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 09:16
      - it made me laugh in begins as well. -- nm - the naughty list loves mandy lane Dec 18, 09:13
      - and, umm, it is a comic book character. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 18, 09:13
      - Is it? Never noticed it in that movie. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 09:13 1
        
        (But, then again, I didn't mind the voice) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 09:14
      - it sucked then too -- nm - pigby Dec 18, 09:13
- as good as the ledger performance was, i don't think enough has been said about aaron ekhart -- nm - prayformojo Dec 18, 09:02 3
  - It would be interesting to see what would have been said if Heath had not died. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 18, 09:08 1
    - Pretty much what's been said now except at half the volume. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 18, 09:10
  - He was great. -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 09:03
- next month -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 18, 08:56 5
  - Watch it yet? -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 08:59 4

        No problem at all. -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 09:12
- Saw it in the theater and watching it home it didn't have quite the same impact. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 18, 08:55 4
  - agreed. I'm actually thinking that I prefer the 1st one for repeat viewing -- nm - decline Dec 18, 08:57 3
    - The Ledger performance alone is worth a second viewing. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 18, 08:58

      - And has a plot? -- nm - Cuzzin Toddnog Dec 18, 09:05
When I took off my sock last night, I noticed that my ankle had swollen up to a grapefruit. Advice? - Mop Dec 18, 08:52 16
- I sprained the absolute hell out of mine in October. Try to find a compression sock. Saves you having to actually wrap it. -- nm - Shaun Dec 18, 08:58
- Wrapping will help support the ankleif you need to walk on it. Ice will bring down the swelling. - krusty Dec 18, 08:55
- RICE. and go back to the doc. -- nm - loosilu Dec 18, 08:55
- You need R.I.C.E. - O Taurenbaum Dec 18, 08:54 2
  - *splurt* -- nm - JaxSean Dec 18, 08:56 1

    - But he should be able to go crazy. -- nm - O Taurenbaum Dec 18, 08:55
- you need to at least ring the physician again. and get crutches. -- nm - the naughty list loves mandy lane Dec 18, 08:53 1

dm free m: Choose from two years of either Domino or Glamour, or get one year of Gourmet, Conde Nast Traveler, Architectural Digest, or Bon Appetit. - the naughty list loves mandy lane Dec 18, 08:44 13
- Glamour always makes me think of George Costanza. "My mother caught me." -- nm - rollo Dec 18, 09:13
- I got BA. thanks to most of you for validating my choice. -- nm - the naughty list loves mandy lane Dec 18, 08:52 2
  - I think you should choose BA -- nm - con_carne Dec 18, 09:06
  - BA. Absolutely BA. -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 09:02
- gourmet or ba. architectural digest sucks...nm - x Dec 18, 08:51
- BA. Personally I'd pick Architectural Digest but then I'd regret it. -- nm - Max Dec 18, 08:50
- AD -- nm - con_carne Dec 18, 08:49
- I'd pick Conde Nast Traveler of Architectural Digest. -- nm - Mop Dec 18, 08:47

- [deleted]
- Gourmet or BA -- nm - decline Dec 18, 08:46
- I'd go for either Gourmet or Bon Apetit. -- nm - znufrii Dec 18, 08:44
- I vote for BA. -- nm - loosilu Dec 18, 08:44
hmmm...Should I let the fact that I get 3% cash back at the REI online store be a factor in determining whether or not to cough up $125 - znufrii Dec 18, 08:42 14
- You really ought to figure out the decrease in healthcare expenditures due to your increased heart health, and then determine if it is revenue-neutral -- nm - TFox Dec 18, 08:50 2
  - what about his increased risk of injury from falls? -- nm - loosilu Dec 18, 09:03
  - That would be a relevant data point, if I actually went to the doctor once in a while. - znufrii Dec 18, 08:54
- Do you see yourself going climbing often or is it just a temporary interest that you won't be doing 6 months from now? - krusty Dec 18, 08:45 10
  - My friend goes regularly, I can see myself going every other week. -- nm - znufrii Dec 18, 08:46 9
    - Don't even factor the rebate into your decision. If you go every two weeks for six months, the cost is 13*$15 = $195. - Roger More Dec 18, 08:53
    - Then it's probably worth it to own your own gear and get the membership. -- nm - krusty Dec 18, 08:47 5
      - that's what I'm thinking. it'll pay off in the long term. - znufrii Dec 18, 08:49 4
        
        I'm definitely interested. I'll remind you after the holidays. It sounds like a ton of fun. - krusty Dec 18, 08:52 3
        
        First timers is $30, because you have to take a belay class before you can climb. - znufrii Dec 18, 08:56 2
        
        Prices aren't bad, I expected them to be higher. -- nm - krusty Dec 18, 08:57 1
        
        the only drawback is you generally have to go with a friend. they don't have anyone there to belay for you. - znufrii Dec 18, 08:58

    - at least she does, now that her back surgery is over with. -- nm - znufrii Dec 18, 08:47

  - There are not nearly enough blood *splurt* posts. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 18, 08:44

Don't you hate when the office supply delivery guy has a little crush on you and gets mad when you aren't there when he arrives w/your stuff - Diva Dec 18, 08:36 4
- Are you in an episode of Fringe? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 18, 08:40 1
  - ooh...I saw that one too. *stays away from the elevator* -- nm - Diva Dec 18, 08:41
- maybe he's hoping you'll call. -- nm - loosilu Dec 18, 08:37 1
  - yecch. -- nm - Diva Dec 18, 08:38
Jeez. It takes a long time to set up an XP machine these days. SP2, patch, SP3, patch, Office, patch. *sigh* -- nm - oblique Dec 18, 08:35 3
- and if it's a new machine (from dell or similar) add on all the time to remove all the crap they put on it - decline Dec 18, 08:43
- You have to get one of those discs where all SP1, SP2, SP3 have been slipstreamed into the install disc -- nm - JD Dec 18, 08:39
- I haven't patched mine for a long time. I'm afraid to trigger WPA or whatever it is. :) - Beryllium Dec 18, 08:39

  - leather chaps? -- nm - oblique Dec 18, 08:32 2
    - there must be pants *somewhere* that your butt can fit into. -- nm - loosilu Dec 18, 08:33
    - well, it's a start. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 18, 08:33
