What I do is DVR the game I’m interested in watching, and then actually start watching it around the start of the second half. By the time you catch up to live while skipping commercials there’s generally only a minute or two left in the game.

They could also have the wedding *at* a convention.

You know, it is very important that they do this in cases of sexual assault...but honestly this should be the policy for any type of whistleblowing. The complaintant should never be punished for coming forward — at least not for offenses that are less serious than the ones they are reporting.

It’s actually very common for embezzlers to self-justify their theft by donating a large part of the proceeds to charity (or telling themselves that they will).

But it doesn’t matter what color the actual dress was. The *picture* of the dress was gold and white.

For me it comes down to whether I look at the image out of the top of my bifocals or the bottom.

At that time, conventional wisdom was that Japanese acceptance of transfolk was both better than that of most Americans and higher than their acceptance of homosexuality, and that matched with my experience. This was not a progressive country…

He’s *extremely* famous, but regional. If you lived in a largely evangelical town in the 80's you’d know all about him.

I’m glad that seems to be working out for your school.

That is interesting. I’m also left-handed and right-footed, so I know those aren’t always linked.

Also worth checking out is the movie version...

Also worth mentioning is that Zombie Orpheus made a movie version of the Chick Tract “Dark Dungeons”. Part of the deal they made to get the rights was that it had to be completely faithful to the original, but they managed to make it a spoof anyway.

Except that part of what Harvard is competing on for students is quality of amenities. Outsourcing is a bad idea when you are more concerned with quality than price.

Right, but the strike is about the ones who are making below the $21.89 an hour. Citing the average wage is kind of a non sequitor when they are asking for a higher minimum.

That was my thought the first time I saw that commercial. I hope she made enough money from it for it to overcome the fact that the audience will never unsee her in that part.

RI is the wrong state to use to understand why the Senate is necessary. A better state is Alaska.

It would have been nice for you to have mentioned somewhere in the article which movie/part she won the Oscar for.

I’m a Mac person myself.

So anything on Laurie Anderson?
