I like me? Are we still mocking the XFL and he hate me so many years later or is there some other idea behind that shirt?

This one is available at any level, just like the seasonal events here. They had to keep the prices lower so that the people just starting off can play it too.

It's going to have to stick around. A lot of the characters are tied directly to buildings and it seems like they only appear if you have that building placed somewhere in the city. The sea captain is tied to the house boat. I also think it is here to stay because of some lines from the end of the quests with the one armed guy. It said that they had something huge in the works that we will all be happy with and this seaport thing is apparently it. And as for the time for the planks, my last one was 12 hours and now I'm on a 16 hour one. So at some point the increases level off slightly. And speaking of long tasks, I planted corn the other day. I'm sure I'll completely forget about it when it suddenly finishes in 3 months.

Looking at how slowly you acquire the planks for the seaside, this one has to be permanent. I have enough room for maybe one building out there and it is already up to a 16 hour wait just to get another single square.

Here's some good news. I know jboyst was complaining about it before. You can now rotate your fences 360 degrees. You won't get those unaligned corners anymore!

The summer update is in the iTunes store right now! Damnit, I sent everyone on 24 hour quests this morning. I'm downloading now, so I don't know what is involved.

Will Xbox have bluray this time?

There were news stories here in Boston all throughout the summer last year about a black bear being spotted on Cape Cod. That whole period was a lot of fun. The thing had to either walk across the bridge in the middle of the night or swim over. I'd love to be the guy driving across the bridge at 2 AM and doing the "what the hell was that" double take. As for the bear in NH this weekend, I think I just was lucky to be looking out the window at just the right time. It was more than likely just passing through. If it had any interest in the charcoal grill at all, it would have had to walk right up to the house. Now that would have really freaked out everyone.

I'm in New Hampshire for a family gathering with the soon to be inlaws. I walked into another room away from everyone and spotted a black bear in the backyard a out ten yards from the house. We had just grilled some burgers so I'm guessing that was what drew it in. They've lived here for about 25 years and they've never had one in their yard. It was pretty big too. I got a cell phone picture but unfortunately it doesn't do it justice. I've never seen a bear anywhere but the zoo, so this was a very interesting moment

Those math papers are thrilling. There aren't many places you can publish something without actually writing a single word other than the author list.

This is the kind of action we need for that other thread where we talk about how much we hate bikers.

It was being covered the very second I turned on my tv this morning on NBC.

Is that a younger bear? It might just be tough to tell from the perspective of the picture, but it is smaller than I expected. I'm not exactly familiar with black bears though.

Why did they do 101? Did they not like ending the list with the 3-way tie at 98?

I wonder how many people would even bother with that movie if it didn't have Brad Pitt. I see those trailers and it just looks stupid. It already sounds like the name association from those who read the book won't draw too many people in judging from Tom and Fez's comments.

Originally I wasn't expecting much from Man of Steel, but they've done a good job building up to it. Hopefully this one works out well.

I love that they actually have the Frying Dutchman neon sign.

I'm willing to guarantee they run one of their seasonal events in august when I'll be on my honeymoon. I'm obviously not touching my phone that week

The escalator is the only of those things that I have. I did wind up caving for jasper though. I still have 70 or so do its left.

Jasper? Damnit, I want him but I'm not burning my donuts.

Something seems off to me with her face in general. I can't figure out what it is.

Kirk would never be caught dead in a Canadiens hat (actually, he probably would, but damnit, he wouldn't be photographed in it)

Since they're generally viewed as the greatest of all time, overrated seems like a very likely option.

The idea that Pearl Jam was constantly trying to re-capture Ten is so far off. If anything, I would expect the public reaction to be the exact opposite, that they evolved too much. If anyone can listen to Ten and then listen to Backspacer (their most recent album which wasn't mentioned) and tell me that there is no progression there, they're crazy.

The having a baby one was only asked to half of the sample, so the numbers aren't going to match up. Anyway, I liked: -Doctor assisted suicide 45% -Suicide: 16%
