  - how much is it for a week? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 08:57
- hah. solid bitchiness right there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:51
- The (obvious) reply: "Yes, I am. How much for a blow job?" -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:44 2
  - From the sound of it, the answer would be 150 Dave and Buster tickets. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 08:45 1
    - and pass on the pink back scratcher?! -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 08:47

  - [deleted] 3
    - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 08:51
    - seriously, it's that tough? it's lie nobody here speaks bitchy girl. -- nm - amanda "bus misser" jones Feb 28, 08:49 1
      - I'd bet the change in my pocket that this is a Cee Lo situation and she dumped him before he got D&B rich, making it bitchy^2. -- nm - Max Feb 28, 08:53
- Catty. I don't want to rank it on a cattymeter. Also, it's hilarious. ("rich" equals "has video game money"?) -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 08:43 2
  - Apparently she is saying, "you used to be so cheap." -- nm - not2fast Feb 28, 08:49 1
    - or the underlying "now that you are gone the money black hole has disappeared." nm -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 08:53
When I turn on the morning news the one thing I *don't* want to see - on two major networks - is Charley Sheen :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 08:39 18
- I haven't been paying much attention to him, but the fact that he's asking for a 50% raise is hillarious* to me. - JaxSean Feb 28, 08:52 15
  - In the few moments I've seen - before reaching the remote - he just seems so totally detached from reality. - MojaveMeg Feb 28, 08:56 8
    - he's not all there. he has crazy eyes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 09:00
    - I was wondering what started this all in motion. Was it a recent divorce or something? - JaxSean Feb 28, 08:57 6
      - Cascade failure. He reached a tipping point and went over. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 09:05
      - people got sick of it. They'd enabled him for decades. Once they put their foot down he went bonkers -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 09:03 2
        
        the only thing new is his insane comments. The drugs, sex and such was always there -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 09:03 1
        
        this is what happens when you give someone like this too much money. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 09:04
      - I honestly think manic episode, which doesn't necessarily have a known trigger. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 09:00
      - It was his divorce ... *puts on sunglasses* ... from reality! -- nm - YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH! Feb 28, 08:59
  - I have to say, while I believe he's truly having a breakdown, his interviews are entertaining as hell. It's like listening to a pro wrestler do a - pmb Feb 28, 08:55 2
    - I feel really guilty that I find it entertaining. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 09:01
    - yeah, this. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 28, 08:56

- Mop? -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 08:36 4
  - there's always room for more unicorns -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 08:38 1
    - The first image of Gaga's video is a unicorn in a purple triangle -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 08:39
  - I hang my head in shame for being late on Ke$ha news (I wasn't on ST Friday) -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 08:37
  - here -- (link) - Spawn Feb 28, 08:37 [Backboard]
Lady Gaga has debuted the music video for "Born This Way" without a doubt it's the strangest video she's ever made -- (link) - MDH Feb 28, 08:31 [youtube] 4
- I like that all I have to see is "Lady" and I stop paying attention any more. - nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 08:32 3
  - She single handedly brought the music video back to life so I'm always curious as to what she'll do. -- nm - MDH Feb 28, 08:35 2
    - Uh... no. -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 08:57

    - So is that what New Order was singing about? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 08:34
Do these UV sanitizers live up to the hype? -- (link) - not2fast Feb 28, 08:28 9
- Related. I almost peed myself watching the germ episode of Raising Hope -- nm - oblique Feb 28, 09:03 1
  - And this differs from your normal nights, how? -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 09:05
- I can tell you that the UV filter I have on my turtle tank is absolutely amazing. -- nm - decline Feb 28, 08:36
- I am skeptical just because a strong UV light (as used in labs for sanitizing) is actually dangerous. I got retina burns once and it was horrid. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:30 4
  - I agree. If it's safe enough for general use, it's probably not effective. If it's effective, it's not safe. -- nm - mara Feb 28, 08:34 2
    - I literally looked at the UV for a split second. It was excruciatingly painful and I had to visit the ER and wear sunglasses for days. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:36
    - That was my first thought. -- nm - not2fast Feb 28, 08:35
  - and another consideration: UV is light, meaning it won't do jack shit for any surface that's in the shadow. I would assume all the bacteria - loosilu Feb 28, 08:33
- I question whether you really need them, but the principle is sound. -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 08:29

Okay, we want you to pretty much dry hump these exercise balls. It'll be great. -- nm - Jimmy Kimmel Feb 28, 08:24 1
- It *was* great. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 28, 08:27
Ok...forget the Oscars for a second. Who do I want the Broncos to draft at #2, Bowers or Fairley. nm - Jim Feb 28, 08:24 17
- Fairley, but I like both players a lot. - David Feb 28, 08:28 3
  - The smallish thing with Fairley is a concern, especially when we're rolling Elvis at DE, he's also small. - Jim Feb 28, 08:38 2
    - Elvis' size is why Bowers makes some sense to you. - David Feb 28, 08:43 1
      - Well, I hope we get one of them. The talk of Peterson at #2 scares the crap out of me. - Jim Feb 28, 09:08
- noting that I know little about this stuff and last year's draft proved it to me forever, I'd be more stoked about Fairley. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 08:27
- Whoever the Panthers don't take. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:24 11
  - I keep hearing more and more talk that the Panthers may go QB... -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 08:27 10
    - Then I'd go Bowers; I think he's less stupid than Fairley. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:30 8
      - Fairley is like James Harrison in that if he's on your team, you love him. If he's not, you despise him for killing you. - David Feb 28, 08:32 7
        
        There were 3 plays in that game that woulda gotten him fined in the NFL; and they woulda sat him a game becoase of the absurdity. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:35 6
        
        IMO, part of the reason Fairley looks so out of control now is because he's so much better than his competition. - TFox Feb 28, 08:37 4
        
        Not the destroying...but the actual cheapshots. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:38 3
        
        Here's a tape - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:41 [youtube] 2
        
        Georgia really should not have poked the bear. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:46 1
        
        But they did and he reacted in a way that'll put him in the NFL doghouse. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 08:50
        
        I agree with all of this, but he's also a DT who falls somewhere between Gerald McCoy and Suh on the prospect scale. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:36
    - It does sound like they're circling around Newton. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:29
Inside Newton's treasure chest, natch -- nm - oblique Feb 28, 08:22 1
- it was found in the acura. I traded the car in in MD, and the MD inspection is so crazy that they were poking around under and inside the back seat. - amanda "bus misser" jones Feb 28, 08:34
bipartisan commission concludes that the United States has wasted tens of billions on contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. -- (link) - mara Feb 28, 08:22 14
- noooo???? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 28, 08:37
- I don't feel shocked. -- nm - Pepper Feb 28, 08:26
- I'll never understand this. Just pay the regular military guys more. -- nm - Max Feb 28, 08:26 6
  - It's easy to understand: There aren't enough military guys. Sure, pay them more, but they're already working 23 hour days. -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 08:31 5
    - This is a completely ridiculous assertion. If there are enough guys to hire through contractors, *there are enough guys*. - Max Feb 28, 08:37 2
      - I'm not clear what it is you're saying. The military should, instead of hiring contracts, conscript them into the military instead? -- nm - TWuG Feb 28, 08:41 1
        
        Yes, exactly. And any resistance with "we can't do that" it just an excuse. They are getting DOD payments now for working on behalf of DOD. - Max Feb 28, 08:45
    - Plus, while they don't get much in salary, they get years of benefits, which contractors don't. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:35 1
      - Then change the rules for special deployments. That is de facto what's going on now since we're already paying them. -- nm - Max Feb 28, 08:40
- I'm shocked that it is just tens of billions and not hundreds of billions really -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 08:26 1
  - oh, I'm sure this amount is dwarfed by spending on the actual military over there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:27
- *unshocked* -- nm - Spawn Feb 28, 08:25
- *shocked* -- nm - znufrii Feb 28, 08:25
- as unshocking as this is, it still makes me sick. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 08:24
Comedy is Whoopi Goldberg criticizing Oscar hosts. -- nm - David Feb 28, 08:20
Randy's was only the worst song of the bunch if you decide that the song from 127 Hours technically doesn't qualify as one. - Reagen Feb 28, 08:20 3
- It not only sounded like just about every other Randy Newman song, it sounded like the same exact songs he's already written for 'Toy Story' films. - Diva Feb 28, 08:31 1
  - I would have too. (Not picked it, because everyone is ignoring that awesome movie. But voted for it.) -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 08:32
- Paul and Storm sum up Randy Newman for me. Every song is the same damn song -- (link) - TWuG Feb 28, 08:27
Word. -- nm - Jim Feb 28, 08:19 2
