Why remake, when you can just re-release? In the re-released version, maybe Lucas will make it look like Dumbledore fired first.

Why do you hate disgustingly rich people?

I believe the three shows each pitched in $17,500 this year. If you do your math, you can figure out what that averages out to per person. In our group, some people contributed a bit more to that total and some a bit less, depending on personal resources.

I don't necessarily disagree, but on the other hand, I imagine you could probably open a Lord of the Rings park now and it'd be slammed, constantly. Or a Narnia park, or a Star Trek park...

i.e. e.g. means "for example." i.e. is basically "that is," or "in other words." edit: This is Ninjas.

Also, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that all of these shows have happened in the Chicago area, and it's probably reasonable to assume that any future shows will happen in or around Chicago. Obviously I can't speak for Jeff and Sue on this, but I think I'm right about past shows, anyway.

I bet Hitler threw plenty of brushback pitches in his day.

Not the "That's hot" thread I was expecting.

Hybrids are not the answer, in my opinion. Their true gas mileage isn't all that better than reasonably fuel-efficient "normal" cars. In the end, they do little or nothing to lessen our demand for foreign oil. Ethanol might work IF the processes for manufacturing it can be made much more efficient than they are now (it's just not practical yet).

Despite your rather odd line-breaking scheme, nice post.

He didn't post a link, but it's here.

I did read the article. The article is about file-sharing, not about music appearing in commercials. Ergo, those comments are not addressing music appearing in commercials, they're addressing file-sharing. Why is this so hard for you to understand? The most recent example of him talking about file-sharing, not music in commercials. THESE TWO THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. Your attempt to use these quotations to buttress your argument against music appearing in commercials is intellectually dishonest. If you're going to use quotations, at least find some that are actually relevant to your argument. W

I would agree with you about that IF starting this thread hadn't been his first act on this board, and if he'd merely added a comment to the thread about the VW commercial that already existed, rather than starting this one. As it is, this thread stands as a monument to jnickerson's need for attention.

Oh. My. God. "Weak defense"? He only pointed out that none of the quotes you listed actually addresses the point that you're trying to make. NONE OF THEM. So which defense is "weak," here, exactly?

Not true. Every time I try to print labels, something goes horribly wrong.

You're the prototypical troll. If you honestly believe you're not a troll, you've got much more serious issues than the compulsive high-horse pontification you've displayed here.

And Leo in particular.

Have they sold this one for an ad yet?

Your chances of not getting ripped off are pretty slim, sadly. Maybe try stubhub? Legalized, online ticket scalping. There are also scalpers with offices in Chicago (they'll call themselves "ticket brokers" or some other bullshit PR-friendly phrase).
