I think this may be the worst house ever, and the worst house listing ever. -- (link) - amanda jones Apr 13, 09:23 14
- I like "outside storage." you can keep shit in your yard! -- nm - mafic Apr 13, 09:36
- walls, roof and stuff....not the worst ever by far -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 09:27
- I love that they included this shot: -- (link) - prayformojo Apr 13, 09:26 [Image] 6

  - Wait, the owner is renting it, right? -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 09:28
- "Small packages make great investments" - prayformojo Apr 13, 09:25
- You're looking at it the wrong way. "Convenient pie access." -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 09:24
- WTF, pie? heheh ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 09:24
As I just tweeted and posted on FB, I really hope Reagen does his NHL playoff picks this year. -- nm - David Apr 13, 09:20 6
- and people laughed when I paid the extra money for a brand manager. - Reagen Apr 13, 09:23 1
  - You blew it when you posted them in the same thread. You should have launched with a clean board. -- nm - David Apr 13, 09:24
- oddly enough, it's also the subject of tomorrow's Penny Arcade -- nm - prayformojo Apr 13, 09:22 3

      - Yes, they reseed. - Reagen Apr 13, 09:28 2
        
        I hate that they do that. I remember doing playoff brackets when I worked at ministry of transportation as a co-op student. good times, good times. -- nm - zork Apr 13, 09:32
        
        Hmm, I'll have to re-post my full predictions soon for review. Maybe I am doing it right (think I am) or maybe I will learn something. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 13, 09:31

- Without knowing the integrity and values of the Institution in question... I still have to take points away. - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 09:17
- It's not the prostituting that I would judge negatively; it's her poor judgement in mentioning it. She could have just said she took jobs that were - mara Apr 13, 09:17 4
  - Was she talking about it in a "take pity on me" way, or "suck that biyatch" way -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 13, 09:21 2
    - She was very matter of fact about it -- nm - ceregon Apr 13, 09:22 1
      - I would initially give points for honesty and being real, but I'd also have to consider her attitude about it by reading between the lines. - Hotkiss Apr 13, 09:27
  - Good point. I like the "jobs unworthy of her talents" line. That has potential for future use. -- nm - ceregon Apr 13, 09:20
- 10 -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 09:15
- Depends: do you want her to keep selling herself? -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 13, 09:15 2
  - Oh god, I didn't think of that. No scholarship she keeps "working" -- nm - ceregon Apr 13, 09:19 1
    - She seems pretty cool with it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 13, 09:19

    - camera phone picture fail. -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 09:22 1
      - YGM -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 09:26
    - [deleted] 1
      - Nope. The purpose of the meeting was to request the assistance of my brain. - Spawn Apr 13, 09:32
    - Big fake boobs quoting the Pet Shop Boys? Are you sure she was born a she? - ceregon Apr 13, 09:21 3
      - To be honest, I included the last part of the quote, but wondered if that went through her mind. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 09:23 2
        
        what's the shiny stuff? glitter? -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 09:33 1
        
        No. And I did not ask. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 09:41
    - Shiny stuff? What the hell goes on at these meetings? - bc/nc Apr 13, 09:18 7
      - I don't care as long as the "extra business" is profitable. -- nm - Amy Apr 13, 09:32 1

      - I'm curious about this too. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 09:31
      - She is a bit of a trip. Glamour shots on her billboards, etc. - Spawn Apr 13, 09:21 3
        
        it's not Pendragon Properties is it? -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 09:27 2
        
        no way - someone named their business that? I mean I named my cats after characters in Excalibur - Epiphany Apr 13, 09:44
        
        heh. No. - Spawn Apr 13, 09:30
Good for him: Mitt Romney to birthers: Barack Obama was born here. Period. -- (link) - MDH Apr 13, 09:06 13
- He's smart to do that. There are enough candidates playing to the fringe crazies. They aren't going to be there at the end. He doesn't need to - pmb Apr 13, 09:37
- Real quick...is his real name Mitt? -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 09:11 1

    - hey look...they got the percentages right. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 09:22
    - This doesn't help the argument that Fox News viewers are not idiots. -- nm - David Apr 13, 09:19 1
      - my post solves this problem -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 09:21
    - The Crazification Theory continues to hold. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 13, 09:14
    - People keep making that joke. Last time it was 44% of voters for some similar reason were idiots. - Beryllium Apr 13, 09:13 1
      - you can do that much better "voters are idiots". -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 13, 09:19
    - That's relatively consistent with other polling. And about half of Republicans. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 13, 09:12
loosi: This sale is just a flukey thing -- a local couple likes to sponser an art "yard sale" at their house. People register and set up booths. - mara Apr 13, 09:03 2
- oh, didn't you post pics of that last year? sounds fun. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 09:04 1
