Nope. The movie studios will only allow certain movies on there and certain quantities from certain time periods, and when hbo is showing a movie they has exclusive rights so it can't be on any streaming service. It's all very convoluted. I'm sure a lot of stuff is on there pretty permanently, but a lot of the newer/popular stuff is cycled in an out. I remember when they signed the deal with miriamax, the rotation was a big deal.

Most Tv shows seem to stay on forever though. We been watching phineas and ferb for years on there. YEARS.

i tried to cut my friends off after the other night i couldnt watch because there was too much stuff being used for the account. turns out, if you are already signed in and the password is changed, it doesn't matter. so until they delete cookies or something, they are still using it. damnit.

I really hate when people on their bike are going slow enough to where I can pass them while running. Speed it the F up.

At Barnes and Noble right now and some dad just went berserk on his about 3 year old daughter. The whole store pretty much froze.

There's a little under 13,000 McDonald's in the US. Seems like there's a lot more.

I like some Vans (the shoes, not the pervy candy vans), but there's no possible way I could pull it off.

According to Jorge, there are around 14,000 McDonald's in the USA. There are nearly 21,000 Subways. McDonald's is second though. Starbucks is 3rd at a little more than 7,000.

dunkin Donuts is 10th but there's none around here.

I feel like if I didn't know these numbers and somebody asked me "how many McDonald's are there in the US?", I would guess around 50,000.

there's a subway in every Wal-Mart. Actually, I just made that up but I think there's a Subway in one of our Wal-Marts here. Also there are three Subway places between my house and the big intersection at 348th and the Highway. Only one McDonalds.

How's that for,a scientific study. We can call it the Verducci Effect.

There's like 80 McD's within 15 minutes of me. Ok, probably not that much, but I'm with Pratt. Also pretty surprised that they're outnumbered by Subway.
