February 9th, 2012 at 8:15 AM
have you tried the Jack in the Box bacon milkshake? …
Michael Symon of Iron Chef and other food programming has sold one for years. I’ve had his and it was good. He has a good place though, high quality ice cream, it’s mainly vanilla bean accented with a hint of smoked bacon. But I would definitely consider getting it again. Jack in the Box, umm. Probably not.
February 9th, 2012 at 8:17 AM
I was going to go with “pretty fucking hot”, but I guess “doesn’t look horrible” will suffice.

Tiger who?
February 9th, 2012 at 8:24 AM
He cited more than 500 “clean” drug tests stretching back nearly 15 years, making him perhaps the world’s most drug-tested athlete.
I really think the Lance thing deserves its own post. But he was dirty. He’s just a Teflon Don who was much smarter at cheating than everybody else. Done a lot of good but there is a lot of evidence that he did cheat. For example, his team’s tests would constantly be very neutral in their tests. They always baselined. There was little-to-zero randomness in their test results. Granted the Feds HATE to lose in court and he would very hard to convict. He could definitely have been indicted. In the end, it’s not that huge a deal. We will all probably benefit directly or indirectly from his help in the fight against cancer. I think the investigation was still worthy.

I’m torn on the new Bourne movie.
On one hand, it’s another Bourne movie – which is always welcome. And Jeremy Renner was pretty good in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. So he can fill the role of spy movie action star.
But without Jason Bourne/Matt Damon, I don’t know if it will have that same feel to it. The audience became connected to Damon’s Bourne through the first three, so it will be interesting to see how it works with a new character.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking too. You can’t tax an unrealized gain (rightfully so), but at Jobs death his estate has “realized” that gain, I would think.

the new Bourne movie will be bad ass.
I think it will be very good. Matt Damon’s odd pissy little rant hurt nobody but himself. All those movies were excellent and got better along the way. Tony Gilroy is a great writer. Damon has not carried a great movie since the last Bourne flick.
February 9th, 2012 at 8:57 AM
This movie looks awesome.
is this that thing I’ve heard of? what’s it called again? sar-something?

you need to diversify yo bonds.
February 9th, 2012 at 8:58 AM
as long as they don’t try to rehash the amnesia story line i think it will be cool.
Ludlum’s original story line from bourne had some great stuff cut from it that you could turn into a whole new movie on it’s own. hope they do that.
/full disclosure, havent seen the trailer since I’m at work.

also, fuck romo for going to a belly putter. fuck anyone who goes to a belly putter.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:04 AM
There’s a ton of ways they can do the Bourne movie. I’ve always liked the idea of sleeper agents that get lost/forgotten. Tom Clancy briefly touched on this with some of the former Soviet agents post-USSR collapse in Rainbow 6 – how they are out there, just waiting for a call. I think that’s my favorite Clancy book although I have not read them all.

Damon was okay but he didn’t carry it at all, it was all Bridges.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:07 AM
i have to re-read that one, but it was one of my favorites at the time.
i might be the minority, but as a book Patriot Games was terrible. couldn’t finish it. sadly, it wasn’t much better than the horrific Ted Bell novels.

February 9th, 2012 at 9:14 AM
I did and I tend to agree. I even went so far as to start the first book in the series that wasn’t written by Ludlum. Things start to get more far-fetched the further you go and by the time the new author takes over it’s pretty ridiculous. I’m not familiar with the second and third movies to make a good comparison, though.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:14 AM

after the bourne books i tried “the ambler warning”… turns out it’s a carbon copy of the bourne identity, just in america. incredibly disappointing.
in terms of the films, i think they are the opposite of the books, they get stronger as they go. enjoyable and worth watching.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
nope didn’t miss it. Appeals are the reason why people on death row are there so long. If there’s something hidden/not being told/other witness, etc a year may not be enough time.
And the word “shouldn’t” should never be used for the death penalty.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:18 AM
You know, it used to be that Duke got all the calls mostly just at Cameron. But now, it’s spread to every game they play. What a joke. At one point UNC was called for fouls on 9 of 13 Duke possessions, while pasty white Dookies are flopping all over the floor like fish. And they’re running to the 3 point line…literally RUNNING without dribbling.

As someone said above, there is a ton of great stuff in the Ludlum version of the Bourne series that could be awesome in a movie. I hope they look into that.
/they probably won’t
February 9th, 2012 at 9:29 AM
UNC committed 3 less fouls and shot 4 more FT’s. The real problem was UNC decided to switch a ball screen after hedging and going over every single one prior to the game winner. Not sure why Zeller did that.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:30 AM

In 1984, John Thompson, a 22-year-old father of two, was wrongfully convicted of two separate crimes, a robbery and murder. While facing his seventh execution date, a private investigator discovered scientific evidence of Thompson’s innocence that had been concealed for 15 years by the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office. Thompson was eventually exonerated of both crimes.
seventh execution date

If there was one city I’d never want to get falsely accused of a crime in .. it’s New Orleans. Reading about the corruption in that city’s police department is mind boggling. Didn’t know that type of stuff still happened in this country in such a large scale. Although, nothing really surprises me any more.

Oh yeah.. I agree with all of this. Just thought the ending was the most egregious flaw with the film. “Hey, we went through all this trouble to stop you and keep you apart, but eh, you seem like you REALLY like each other I guess, so, okay!”
Emily blunt can most definitely get it. Any way she wants.

I like the charge call on Barnes after Thornton stuck out his leg and tripped him at the top of the key. I liked the foul called on Carolina when Kelly had his shot blocked was on the floor and the ref blew his whistle 2 seconds later. I like that a 3 point shooting team was in the double bonus with about 10 minutes left in the game. The refs completely stopped the momentum of Carolina last night.

concealed for 15 years by the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office.
If there was one city I’d never want to get falsely accused of a crime in .. it’s New Orleans. Reading about the corruption in that city’s police department is mind boggling. Didn’t know that type of stuff still happened in this country in such a large scale. Although, nothing really surprises me any more.
The problem is that there’s been a culture of silence and letting you get away with what you want for many decades that has created resentment. It’s why, even with the violence in the streets, people are reticent to call the police.

have you tried the Jack in the Box bacon milkshake? …
Michael Symon of Iron Chef and other food programming has sold one for years. I’ve had his and it was good. He has a good place though, high quality ice cream, it’s mainly vanilla bean accented with a hint of smoked bacon. But I would definitely consider getting it again. Jack in the Box, umm. Probably not.
Agree w/Scripty on this, although he undersells it. Symon’s Vanilla Bean Apple Pie Bacon shake is the best thing I have ever tasted.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Oh no, he’s dead. They supposedly have a suspect now. But if you read what some people have said about it, it makes me angry about the NOPD. It took them 3 weeks to uncover that “person of interest”

Not surprised. We lose a bunch of police officers every month just through attrition and they can’t keep up their numbers. In a study, a few weeks back, the T-P found that there’s often no more than 1-2 officers patrolling entire neighborhoods, high crime ones too.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:45 AM
When I was growing up just outside the city, and you’d head in for whatever reason, you always got the lecture: Avoid the police. If you’re in trouble, don’t go to the cops for help. Don’t talk to them, don’t even look at them.

It’s sort of the style of the movies, but Paul Greengrass really amped it up in the second and third flicks. He’s not doing the fourth. Tony Gilroy is. He directed Michael Clayton and Duplicity, so that gives you an idea of his style.

Louisiana has a “90-day rule” where if you’re arrested, the state must charge you within 90 days of the day of arrest or release you, regardless of guilt or innocence. What would happen is that those murderers would commit their crimes and then sit in jail knowing that there was no way in hell the overwhelmed system could bring charges against them in that time.
They get to Houston and it’s day 91 and they found to their surprise that it wasn’t the same. As soon as they got the chance, they ran back here.

The last 2 Bourne were done by Paul Greengrass. (United 93). That was really his concept and his style and edited that way intentionally. I think this Bourne will be different as he is not directing.
The average length of use of 1 camera angle in that entire movie was 4 seconds.
Noah Vosen was arrested at the end of Bourne 3 but he could still be around in flashbacks. I cant remember about his boss.
*Finally got the Extreme Ways remix off the credits of the last movie. All time great workout song.

The fight in Tangier in Bournce 3 between Bourne and Desh had rapid fire editing but also one of the great modern fight scenes. It was like a present day follow-up to Bond and (Robert Shaw) in From Russia With Love in that train compartment.

The no meat on Fridays rule seems like such a silly one to strictly abide by when your having sex before marriage, which, if I recall from my Catholic days… is a mortal sin or something. I have a problem with people only picking the rules that are convenient to follow. Seems dis-ingeniousness.

Well maybe you should this year. She had to put up with your drunken crying and other assorted bullshit after the 49ers playoff run. The least she deserves is a card.

I was raised Catholic and I think it’s hilarious.
Me too.

Youre like the reverse Tim Watley

You are really on a roll today

True….she was there through all of it, but I get her random cards throughout the year as opposed to just one day.
So there.

Lol. Raises glass for Mrs. K49erfan.

I mean, you can follow whatever rules you want and still call yourself a Catholic… I don’t really care… I’ve just always found it odd that the “no meat on Friday’s” is one where a lot of the Catholics I know draw the line, while disregarding some of the other more important rules or guidelines or whatever you want to call them. Seems silly to me.
So yeah, sorry if I came across as a Catholic “basher.” I was commenting more on my acquaintance than I was on the religion… she could have been a Muslim who wouldn’t eat pork but slept around (If that’s frowned upon in that religion, I honestly don’t know.. I’m assuming it is)… would have been the same thing.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:52 AM
what about the other 10 (or 11) days of the year?
February 9th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
I actually think my wife and SG would get along pretty well. They both love animals and spend most of their time thinking I’m an asshole.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
One additional day wouldn’t kill you.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:54 AM
this is why I don’t really practice anymore. I went to 12 years of Catholic school but rarely go to church anymore because I don’t really agree with everything they preach because some of it seems so hypocritical and judgemental. although I don’t really see the point in bashing people that do go, or practice it.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:56 AM
Going to church can also have nothing to do with religion. You can learn how to become a better person or how to dig deep and get through tough times.

Well that’s good news for the Chicago trip. A Mrs. k49erfan/SG tag team. Fun for hours.

I was raised Catholic, did some Catholic school. When I lived on my own, I rarely ever went to Church. Now that I have kids, I like to attend. It’s not the Cathloic church’s fault your parents didn’t explain shit to people about the archaity of some church doctrine. I doubt my priest even believes it all.
My wife’s of another denomination and this crap is in all churches/forms of christianity. Go to some hard core Southern Baptist church and see the shit they sling. But it’s always the Catholics getting slammed on here. Like the Sandusky crap – always referencing Catholic church scandal – NEVERMIND that pastoral abuse rates mirror church participation – but you’d never here that here from the Commentors. Just contstant cheap shotting.
I realize a few people here poke fun like we do on all topics but there are a bunch of assholes who are too lazy to blame themselves about their relationship with God, and just shit on the name of the Church.
/end rant
probably wont go to Ash Wednesday either
I dont do the Friday meat crap, but I hate the contstant antagonism and belittling.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:09 AM
garcon, that’s what the internet does best. short, stabbing cheap shots. it’s so much easier to take broad-brushed shots at a topic than it is to participate in an intelligent conversation.
for example: ATL_Engager is full of blind hatred towards the Church and going straight to Hell.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:11 AM
ding, ding, ding. I believe we have a winner.
February 9th, 2012 at 11:12 AM

This is true.
Although, if you saw my comments in this thread as church bashing, I don’t know what to tell you. It was hypocrite bashing.
