  - what's a money table? -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:46 4
    - crazy prairie thing. - mafic Dec 30, 08:50
    - Wedding social not reception. Socials up here are parties (usually used to fundraise for the wedding). - Name Withheld By Request Dec 30, 08:47 2
      - Nice. -- nm - father of the bride Dec 30, 08:49 1

      - It really sounds like t he least fun one could have on NYE. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:39 2
        
        I agree, but I think that depends on what establishment you happen to be stuck in front of for all those hours - con_carne Dec 30, 08:42 1

It's a trap, the interviewee is a cost-cutting, efficiency consultant. He's there to see who the boss should fire first. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 30, 08:11 1
- Andrea Plan-B -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Land Syne Dec 30, 08:27
When you download mp3s from amazon do they always download 2 copies? Weird -- nm - Gwaahjo Dec 30, 08:11 4
- Well, it downloads to the Amazon mp3 player, and then iTunes makes a copy of it, per my settings. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:12 2
  - I think mine does this as well. I wish there was a better player than iTunes, though. - JaxSean Dec 30, 08:23 1
    - Really? That's kind of sad. I use the player that came with my device, and it works great. -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 08:30

SITWAP: Australians upset over attempt to ban topless beaches. -- (link) - TaurusII Dec 30, 08:10 36
- Subheadline: "mafic upset at ban, 'Why do you think I came here?'" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 30, 08:49
- Between this and the facebook breast feeding ban, today is full of breast pictures which is a good thing -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:13 26
  - And y'know, about that ban, I don't have strong feelings either way, but breastfeeding advocate mommies need to chill the fuck out. - TFox Dec 30, 08:17 19
    - I agree...some are trying to cause a scene. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 30, 08:33 2

        ugh. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:37
    - I don't really have a problem with people doing it anywhere, but my response to "it's a perfectly natural thing!" is always - mafic Dec 30, 08:22 11
      - exactly. "natural" does not mean it has to be public. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:25 5
        
        note: I have NO PROBLEM with anyone breastfeeding in public. I just personally prefer not to see the whole boobie on display. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:26 4
        
        yup. there's doing it in public, and then there's flaunting it in public. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:27 3
        
        I saw a woman stroll around a coffee shop in brooklyn with one boob totally hanging out, and her daughter mindlessly chewing on the nip as a pacifier. - loosilu Dec 30, 08:28 2
        
        let me guess... - znufrii Dec 30, 08:31 1
        
        don't think it was there yet, but similar. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:32
      - If I put a picture of me pissing on Will's empty nose socket on Facebook, they'd take it down, whether I really really had to go or not. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:23 4
        
        What an absolutely idiotic comparison. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 30, 08:24 3
        
        It was an excuse to make a Will joke. It didn't exactly smack of serious analysis. - TFox Dec 30, 08:25 2
        
        Generally speaking, jokes should be funny -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:26 1
        
        You should lead by example then. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 08:26
    - *tries to put the lid back on this can of worms* -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:19 2
      - I'm all for breastfeeding, I really am, but like anything else, there is a vocal contingent that goes a little batshit. - TFox Dec 30, 08:21 1

      - ah. Well, I dunno about a ban, but I would prefer if people kept their boobs to themselves. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:18
  - srsly? didn't they learn from the uproar that was created when livejournal tried to do the same thing a couple years ago? -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:15 2
    - *faint whisper* -- nm - a livejournal uproar Dec 30, 08:16
    - Yup. Big ruckus -- (link) - oblique Dec 30, 08:16
- fwiw it's *always* the germans that go topless. around here, anyway. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 08:12 2
  - tell me about it! on one beach in Hawaii, a gruop of women just started whipping their shirts off. sure enough, they were German. - loosilu Dec 30, 08:15 1

  - just do one a day, take a photo of it and post it on flickr as part of the photo a day -- nm - Roger More Dec 30, 08:13 9
    - I was hoping for other sketchers. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:16 8
      - I know, but as you said, you're unlikely to find other takers, so work with what's available -- nm - Roger More Dec 30, 08:17 7
        
        you can't make me. -- nm - loosilu Dec 30, 08:18 6

        even easier, start a group on facebook. -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 08:23 2
        
        I have found almost zero use for Facebook groups -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 08:23 1
        
        they're only useful if people actually use them... - znufrii Dec 30, 08:25
