I liked it a lot, but I wasn't expecting it to be official canon. I think it's fair to revisit the origins of a comic book from time to time, particularly when it's been 40 years or so.

Hot or cold, this recipe is really good: Quinoa and Black Beans

Easy to make, pretty similar to where this thread has started heading.

Also, can we unpin the 2010 completed games thread and pin the 2011 one. Done. As far as the other requests go, every time I've ever made a change with anything on this board, there's been a 50/50 (+/- 5%) split on people loving or hating it. If you guys can convince Funk, and it's easy to do, I ha...

Eh, I suppose. Not nearly disheveled enough though!

For those of you that haven't read the books, don't recall if someone posted this here or somewhere else, this viewer's guide contains some backstory and good information without being spoilery.

Sawyer?

I think you're reading that wrong. I took it as "due to time constraints, we were forced to leave a pile of shit in bin Laden's den. The Pakistanis picked it up after we left, went through it, and confirmed that it was mostly detailed logs of al-Qaida activity, though they haven't yet shared th...

When I got my house phone in college, I asked the phone company for the easiest number to remember. They gave me 662-3344. Unfortunately for me, the local cab company was something like 662-3355, Washtenaw Dairy ( a local-favorite ice cream shop that has a line around the block when it's warm) was 6...

This is currently my favorite thing in the world.

"Covered it with what??"

I've always been a huge Thor fan, I have like every Thor comic book from when the title changed over from Journey Into Mystery (like #126, iirc) through #425 or so. I liked this movie a lot. It had some humorous parts, some solid action, the special effects were realized well (I thought the Rainbow ...

Does he actually have known health problems, or is that just an assumption based on him being older and overweight (and generally looking pretty unkempt)?

... hasn't ever even seen Star Wars How can someone not have seen Star Wars? Seems you'd almost have to go out of your way to avoid it. Was she Amish or something? Not Amish, and I also have never understood how she could have avoided it. She agreed to watch it with me one night (as I told her ther...

Oh hey, look, I predicted that Pryor would be bad news! thread from August 2008

Full disclosure: I was WAY wrong about my predictions for Michigan's football season in that thread.

Tressel's crimes are really fairly minor-- not being forthright about a gear-for-tattoos swap. I don't totally agree with you there. The players ' crimes were really fairly minor. I'd liken them to an actual crime that I don't even think should be illegal, say possession of drugs for personal consu...

This season has been great. Easily in my top 5 still-active shows. Next week's season finale is set up to be pretty exciting!

Granted, she's probably influenced by my excitement, but my wife who basically only reads chick lit and the Twilight books (redundant, yes), and hasn't ever even seen Star Wars (just painting a picture of how unlike everyone reading this message she is) seems to really like the show. I also have a b...

Being a Wolverine, I can't comment without bias, but the reading I've been doing the last couple days (also from Michigan-biased sites) speculates that Tressel could be facing a show cause penalty, which... ouch. He pretty clearly knew that he had players that should be ineligible and played them an...

I liked this movie a lot.

I'm not sure how serious the bid to recall Snyder is. The movement started (and petition filed) in Washtenaw County, home of Ann Arbor (which is probably the most liberal city in the whole state). He's made some pretty f'ed up decisions, most notable is the law that allows him to appoint an Emergenc...

I don't know that I've ever even heard of beef bacon. I will have to investigate!

Beef bacon?

I think that, instead of a new episode, they are replaying all of the episodes so far this Friday night. The next new one premieres on 4/29.

I think.

My wife and I are watching it. We both like it, me being pretty familiar with Arthurian legend and all of it being pretty new to her. I was finding it interesting how they were making it look pretty realistic with Merlin's machinations being the explanation for most of the fantastic elements of the ...

I bought this Sony CyberShot before my honeymoon last year and I totally love it. We got it on a friend's recommendation, and it couldn't be easier to use. Some nice features on it are the ability to take really cool panoramic shots, the ability to hold the button down to get a bunch of exposures (m...

All this talks about tops and bottoms makes this clip necessary.

Speed has EVERYTHING to do with it...

I think Ebert was a little to harsh on it; was he expecting fine art? It was a fucking popcorn movie with aliens attacking and stuff getting blown up. My wife and I thought it was worth the $6.50 we paid to see it at a Sunday afternoon matinee. At the time we decided that was what we were going to s...

1) No more sniper rifles in multiplayer modes, ever. Come fight like you have a pair with the rest of us, pussy. I disagree with removing sniping, it's a perfectly legitimate tactic that has been used in actual battle for over 100 years. If a game is supposed to be set in real-world scenarios, why ...

I really enjoyed it, up until I hit a bug in Act 2 that prevents me from progressing. Restarting the checkpoint won't work, maybe I could replay the whole level but that doesn't seem like much fun.

WINNING!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but I think I'm on like level 9 of the campaign. It's actually pretty funny, there are a lot of pop culture and internet meme references. Totally worth $10.

He was convicted on counts of adultery and indecent acts for having sex in front of others? Those must be military crimes?

I found it pretty entertaining.

Though I did comment to my wife that it was a poor advertisement for Nike cleats, with how badly the Ducks were slipping all over the place. Guess maybe they should find a uni that works and stick with it, rather than getting a new one every week?

This question is for Kilmoll. So I was watching the NBC nightly news last night, and they mentioned that the shooter had an extended magazine that was illegal until (somewhat?) recently, and that he had purchased his gun and magazine legally. They said that the people who subdued him were able to do...

A+++ would buy again.

I saw it yesterday and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I feel like it was good, definitely well-made and with great acting, but kind of pointless. I was entertained, but I don't know if I'd recommend it. I enjoyed the build-up, but the payoff left me wanting more.

So I got the Kinect that I wanted for Christmas. Are there any games that I should get before our New Year's party? I only have Dance Central and Kinect Adventures so far, but I'm willing to order anything fun today so that I have it by Friday. Suggestions?

It wasn't a VV girl, it was the friend of a co-worker. I actually met her at co-worker's wedding this year, in retrospect my vote immediately changed to batshit crazy.

I see no mention of WoW in your post. It's a Christmas Miracle!

But why are ignoring the first year of 360 sales? To show that PS3's have sold faster? Why would you expect 360 to keep up when 7 million potential buyers already have them? It's not like it's toilet paper and people are going to have to keep buying it ad infinitum. There is a finite (growing, but n...

lol! Is that really the logo? They're taking that Big 10 (11) seriously...isn't it twelve now? Why make the "T" loo so damn ugly with two "1"s when there's 12 teams now. You're describing the old logo for when there were 11 teams. Click the link called "New Logos" on A...

Yea only because the 360 outsold the PS3 when it didn't exist. :lol: It seems like you're arguing in the wrong units. You keep mentioning the "velocity" (how many are currently being sold this month/week/day/year) at which consoles are being sold whereas others are mentioning "distan...

It is a comic book movie. What were you expecting?! Well, for it to be based a little more on the actual comic book for starters. It's been almost 20 years since I seriously read comics, but I do still own the first 300ish issues of Thor (I only have a handful of Journey Into Mystery from the 80s t...

Hard to rename the oldest conference in college football; it has a lot of history behind it. That said, the division names are fucking retarded. Not only did they name them with the same first couple of letters (how do you abbreviate? "Leg" and "Lea"? Gay!), Michigan's fight song...

Urban Meyer resigns, for real this time. At least this way we get to fire Addazio instead of just demoting him. Mike Leach for Gator HBC in 2011!!! What's the word down there on who your new coach will be? Everyone here is saying it's Dan Mullen, and that he'll be gone before Meechigan plays Missis...

I would guess that most people who are so up-in-arms about the Bush Tax Cuts "expiring" are either misinformed about what that meant or are just folk who don't think they should have to pay any taxes. or believe we pay enough in taxes already. I would still be having a negative effect if ...

If you make 250k a year, you would have been taxed an extra $1400 in total by the end of the year. That in no way should have an impact on you are you are living above your means. This goes for everyone that would have had a tax increase. No one would have been taxed hard enough that it would have ...

But the point is that what Obama (Dems, whatever) had proposed was that the cuts would expire for people making over $250k. That first $250k wouldn't have changed one cent. So while $250,001 might not make you "rich" in your area (I wouldn't consider it "rich" anywhere, but it's ...
