Spoilers - Bacon Mar 6, 16:10
the uncertainty surrounding Lybia's 2% of total oil production has led to the second-biggest two-week jump in the history of the gasoline market - stewie Mar 6, 15:38 11
- And yet Americans will continue to insist that using oil isn't an issue. Wouldn't it be nice if your main mode of transportation - TWuG Mar 6, 15:41 8
  - I would indeed love that -- nm - Epiphany Mar 6, 15:43 7
    - so, get off your ass and go invent Warp drive and transporters! -- nm - peglegpete Mar 6, 15:50 6
      - Then we'll just find out that Sudan contains the worlds largest supply of dilithium. -- nm - Ender Mar 6, 15:57 3
        
        Why can't we just go and make our society revolve around a technology based on, dunno, turnips? -- nm - celedhring Mar 6, 16:02 1
        
        you mean the middle ages? - zeitgeist Mar 6, 16:06
        
        just the lithium needed for our cell phone and laptop batteries is hard to find and most does come from africa -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 6, 16:00
      - *bids up transporter futures* -- nm - hedge funds Mar 6, 15:51 1
        
        Cha-ching! -- nm - Jason Statham Mar 6, 16:01

- Plus most of their oil goes to low sulfur diesel and jet fuel because of the quality. -- nm - spamlet Mar 6, 15:39
Neat video of bald eagles congregating in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. Note that the guy shooting it says it's 11 at night. -- (link) - TWuG Mar 6, 15:29 [youtube] 1
- I was hoping some 100 foot tall alien eagle was gonna start terrorizing the neighborhood. alas, no it wasn't a new movie trailer -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 15:34
[deleted] 1
- Wish they rushed Torchlight 2 a bit instead. But the more funds for the company the better I guess. -- nm - celedhring Mar 6, 15:27
I swear to fucking God, if this leads to 5 boards of "The ship sinks!" or "Bruce Willis is dead!" I'm going to have to choke a bitch. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 6, 15:19 6

- Facebook Amy got hacked: Is that @facebook email link legit, Amy? Because it's asking for log-in info and has an "app" address. -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 15:16
- women are *fickle* -- nm - moles Mar 6, 15:14
Odd question: has anyone tried to watch Shaun the Sheep on Netflix streaming? - TFox Mar 6, 14:54 2
- That's weird. I've watched some from StS Season 1 and hadn't noticed this -- nm - prayformojo Mar 6, 15:13
- (a TiVo forum post suggests it is an issue with the Netflix/TiVo connection that happens with certain programs. Interesting.) -- nm - TFox Mar 6, 15:05
LYC: Remember that Olive Garden commercial with Haley from Modern Family I linked a while back? I chose to write about it for Marketing homework. - con_carne Mar 6, 14:52 [youtube]

Just watched Monsters. I liked it a lot. - CovingtonCat Mar 6, 14:45 2
- My big question was (spoilers) - Dano Mar 6, 14:48 1
  - Probably, but that would be a different movie. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 6, 14:51
ST Poll -- will my boss call me back within 15 minutes? and will his answer be yes or no? -- nm - znufrii Mar 6, 14:45

So what's wrong with the dancing in Dancing? -- nm - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 14:31 4
- Not enough nudity and Bristol Palin finished top 3. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 14:48 1
  - It is a family show. Barely. - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 14:49
- It's dancing. Dancing is a participation sport not a spectator sport. Unless the dancers are naked. -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 14:32 1
  - Uh-huh. Most sports are participaton sports. Wouldn't have teams if people didn't play them. -- nm - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 14:34
I think the reason that the spoilers thing can sometimes bother folks is that it involves cultural touchstones. I grew up in the 80s. Being asked to - TWuG Mar 6, 14:30
Weekend Movie grades: Across the Universe, F, Beauty and the Beast, A -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 14:26 5
- You are a dumb dummy who's dumb. -- nm - nubby Mar 6, 14:37 4
  - What do you have against Beauty and the Beast? -- nm - TFox Mar 6, 14:52 3
    - I knew the joke was coming. I just never thought it would be you. - nubby Mar 6, 14:53 2
      - (i've never seen the other one.) -- nm - TFox Mar 6, 16:24 1
        
        Lucky man! My GF made me watch it. -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 16:24
ABC is pushing for male viewers to watch "Dancing with the Stars" - amoxy Mar 6, 14:14 17
- My problem is that I'd rather watch people who can actually dance so I'll wait for SYTYCD. -- nm - Dano Mar 6, 14:44 2
  - That one I understand. But it is fun to see the ones who really can't dance. - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 14:46
  - mmmm, Jeanine Mason.... -- nm - prayformojo Mar 6, 14:46
- Any (female) nudity? - Stephen, Winning Here, Winning There Mar 6, 14:38
- How about Fighting with the Stars? Give them a trainer and watch them beat the crap out of each other. -- nm - ceregon Mar 6, 14:21 7
  - they did Celebrity Boxing. it was awful. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:23 3
    - *takes things way too seriously* -- nm - Dustin Diamond Mar 6, 14:44
    - You mean Manute Bol vs. Fridge Perry wasn't boxing gold? -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 14:25 1
      - "Come on, or you don't get paid." -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:26
  - to the Octagon! -- nm - moles Mar 6, 14:22 1
    - Charlie Sheen wins every fight. Even the ones he wasn't it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:23
  - Celebrity Boxing has been done already. -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 14:22
- that is not really new, they've almost always had an NFL player each season and they do at least one other male sports star each season - crash davis Mar 6, 14:19
- Then it should be called something other than "Dancing" and involve something other than dancing. -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 14:18
- If they want more male views put Scarlett Johansson, Megan Fox, and Jessica Biel. I don't want to see my sports heroes dancing. -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 14:16 2
  - those Ducks would have to get work release to be on the show anyway -- nm - moles Mar 6, 14:19
  - And it should still not involve dancing. I can think of more creative uses for those 3. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 6, 14:19
just watched Faster - I don't recommend renting it yet, save it for a double feature of Faster, Drive Angry - crash davis Mar 6, 14:14 2
- hey, you are off vacation on Ikariam. -- nm - Beaker Mar 6, 14:44
- should have been so much more. another wasted oppurtunity from The Rock -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 14:24
Wow, the Lakers are kicking the Spurs butts - amoxy Mar 6, 14:09
I thought the Heatr were supposed to set a record for wins in a season and be in first place in the league. -- nm - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 14:06
*waits patiently for those birthday explosives* -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 13:46 1
- *sets charge under CQ's seat* - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 13:54
Walked past the new Subway by my place again today ... - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 6, 13:42 6
- not the first time I've heard of it. The new management before opening thing. - the liioulu with mini marshmallows Mar 6, 13:56
- Keep walking and find a Mr.Sub -- nm - J Mar 6, 13:53
- how could it be old management, duh. -- nm - zork Mar 6, 13:48
- well free food is hard to screw up -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:45 2
  - you've never eaten my mom's cooking -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 13:46 1
    - it''s free so it's my favorite allready -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:50
Spoiler etiquette: there is always someone who hasn't seen a movie/TV show, read a book etc. Just common courtesy imo -- nm - Beaker Mar 6, 13:28 36
- I'm all for courteous, but our spoiler rules are admittedly nonsensical. - TFox Mar 6, 15:26
- Right. Spawn, for example, has never read a book. nm - Dignan Mar 6, 14:25 1
  - but then, also can't. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:32
- It's always a very polite thing to do. I have seen a few movies for the first time recently that are decades old. -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 13:40
- Agreed. IRL, I always ask "Have you seen it? Do you plan to?" before spoiling a movie. Can't ask that of everyone here, so why not put it inside? -- nm - psilotum Mar 6, 13:34 15
  - am I not supposed to make casual references to things that happen in, say, The Godfather without worrying about spoiling someone? - Reagen Mar 6, 13:37 14
    - I think this is absolutely true but I'm not sure why we're arguing about someone choosing to take a safe approach. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 6, 14:18
    - if it's something like Rosebud then don't spoil it. I wouldn't get angry but might be disappointed that my enjoyment might be less when I got to seein - zork Mar 6, 13:46 5
      - Things become embedded into the culture that it's impossible not to discuss them. For instance, the little while ago there was open talk on Total Reca - Reagen Mar 6, 13:54
      - I agree that there should be some deference to keeping spoilers inside and labelled, but the older a film or book is, the less right someone has to - TWuG Mar 6, 13:51
      - hard to spoil all of godfather it is filled with great stuff - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:49 2
        
        Fredo! -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 13:53 1
        
        *neigh* -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 13:55
    - The important thing is that we keep arguing about it instead of ignoring it. -- nm - nubby Mar 6, 13:43
    - If it's a major plot point maybe. I think I saw The Godfather for the first time in the last 5 years. Still haven't seen Goodfellas but it's on my - Bacon Mar 6, 13:42 1
      - I remember not liking Goodfellas all that much the first time I saw it. (no spoilers) - con_carne Mar 6, 14:45
    - I agree it is somewhat subjective. Personally, I'm OK with references that aren't critical plot points or that don't really make sense until you've - psilotum Mar 6, 13:40
    - I usually use the 10 year rule...If you haven't seen a movie that came out 10 years ago - amoxy Mar 6, 13:39 2
      - true, but there are always kids who haven't had the chance yet -- nm - Beaker Mar 6, 13:41 1
        
        Poo-Holes! -- nm - CQ Mar 6, 13:45
- after a certain point it becomes ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 13:31 14
  - no no... it's you who should change for the dope with 6 months of tv on their DVR -- nm - stewie Mar 6, 13:50
  - Agreed. Put it in an IM, IMO, but after a certain point it really is on the person who hasn't seen or read something - TWuG Mar 6, 13:45 9
    - saying Rosebud and giving away the answer are two different things. -- nm - zork Mar 6, 13:48 8
      - It's also older than every single person that posts on this board. To expect not to be spoiled at this late date is completely unreasonable. -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 13:53 7
        
        Although by the films age that would also mean nobody saw it in theaters and would likely view it at a later date vs. a new release -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 13:54 6
        
        That's still, IMO, unreasonable. No one is even alive who saw Shakespeare perform and just saying the names Romeo and Juliet - TWuG Mar 6, 14:02 5
        
        Romeo and Juliet is a title of a play/movie. spoilers - Bacon Mar 6, 14:12 4
        
        IYO the age of the viewer/reader should control. IMO the age of the work should control. Reasonable care - TWuG Mar 6, 14:16 3
        
        it's a 500 year old play that defines the modern concept of tragedy. The concept of spoilers in regards to it is baffling. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:21 1
        
        Caesar dies. -- nm - spamlet Mar 6, 14:55
        
        I have had little issues with ST spoiling things. We do a pretty good job. As long as it doesn't change it's fine as is -- nm - Bacon Mar 6, 14:17
  - don't spoil casablanca -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:34 2
    - Hitler did it -- nm - Beaker Mar 6, 13:40 1
      - crap now i have to buy it to check that -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:40
- and always someone who has seen a movie/TV show, read a book etc. - Danedukenuuk Mar 6, 13:30
*yawn* -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 13:26
