At least 3 dead, limbs blown off, massive head injuries...very grim scene

2 explosions at the finish line of Boston Marathon....looking at live helicopter shot...blood everywhere

G.O.T. Ep. 3 F*ck yes

Shocking results in the Boston Marathon today. A Kenyan and an Ethiopian won.

I was thinking any longer than 48 hours, people's attention might start to wander. And yep, results would be posted...

I think the key is not finishing in the bottom three

a 1990's film tournament....say 32 films...the first poll could be The Usual Suspects vs Trainspotting, people have 48 hrs to vote, then we move one to the next matchup...As master of ceremonies, I'd be the one choosing the films...

A star is born? Incredible stuff so far... Meanwhile, Atlanta are sweeping Washington

Perish the thought

Great movie, still very watchable even though I've seen it about 10 times

They didn't start out that way.

Two episodes into Season 3 of Game of Thrones, and I'm mildly disappointed...I was hoping the first episode was just setting the table, but no such luck. The plot lines are becoming a bit disjointed and I'm starting to think that because there are so many developing plot lines, the whole show could be running in to a bit of problem keeping the big picture narrative intact.

You are limiting yourself in a terrible way, Jim. There are so many fantastic US microbreweries that put many European beers to shame, frankly. in my local off license they sell 3 american beers, bud, coors and miller, coors for me is the best of them, the sort of beer you have when you get back from work and fancy a drink but dont want to get smashed, but in my local supermarket they sell samuel adams and brooklyn brewery lager that for me are quite forgettable, ive been to a few beer festivals in london where they do a lot of american beers that are quite similar, none stand out as a "perfect" beer the american sky vodka on the other hand - beautiful drop of stuff that Sam Adams and Brooklyn, along with Anchor Steam are kind of the "Oldie" microbrews, and you're right, they are nothing particularly special. Miles ahead of the Bud/Coors/Miller piss though. There is a really great brewery here in Massachusetts called "Pretty Things", and they make world class beers. Another top notch brewery is Goose Island, out of Chicago. Smuttynose from New Hampshire, Lagunitas from California, just to name a few...If you can get your hands on any of these, you'll see what I mean.

When starting a poll, do we need moderator approval? Also, do we still have the option of putting a time limit on a poll?

Funny reading this thread that I started now that I'm almost 2 years off the booze

Amazing and devastating takedown of the US "War on Drugs"...this link is probably only good in the US and Canada, but you can buy it on iTunes...well worth it. http://video.pbs.org/video/2341636421

Hipsters have been seen arming themselves with squirt guns filled with irony

NY Daily News is saying Mets are looking at trading for CarGo and/or Stanton. I'd think the Stanton deal is more realistic. But be prepared to lose 2 or 3 top prospects...

I never think it's right to celebrate someone's death, no matter how terrible you think they may have been. Even when (it was claimed) Osama Bin Laden was killed, there was a spontaneous street celebration outside the White House gates, which really rubbed me the wrong way. It just looks really bad, in my opinion. A solemn vigil the to victims of 9/11 would have been better, unlike the vulgarity of those chanting "USA!" and whatnot.

I have Google Chrome waiting in the wings, is that what you had in mind?

I've noticed some stop at 0:31. The red line will extend ll the way to the right, as if the video was finished. I can click my cursor on at the end of the shortened video, and I'll get the continuing audio, but no picture.
