- Thanks for quoting me, at least - con_carne Apr 13, 14:11 1
  - I blame myself. Obviously my attribution of "moving the goalposts" gave you a big head - Roger More Apr 13, 14:12
- I would say it's less retarded and more amusing than the earlier thread. - Beryllium Apr 13, 14:04 3

- [deleted] 7
  - It just seemed like a good idea, what other hotels would you recommend and do I even want to drive down there? - J Apr 13, 14:06 4
    - [deleted] 3

        [deleted] 1

  - For J's sake, how about you recommend a couple of those options? -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 14:01 1
    - I don't even have to post responses anymore, I have my very own Mop -- nm - J Apr 13, 14:02
- Not J's fault, but memo to the Millenium Hilton. "Millennium" is spelled with 2 n's. -- nm - Mop (211 lbs) Apr 13, 13:59

- None...but we are considering lawn seats for Def Leppard. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 14:15 1
  - I came to the realization last week that Def Leppard without Clark is just not Def Leppard. - Spawn Apr 13, 14:18

    - They're doing some festivals, Sasquatch is the one I'm looking at. Also, they have some local dates that haven't been announced yet. They have one - jnine Apr 13, 15:16

really, unsafe? - Reagen Apr 13, 13:52 50
- I know, it's weird, right? I can't explain it. I have this weird "I couldn't defend myself" thing - amanda jones Apr 13, 13:57 8
  - Defend yourself from what? -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 13:58 7
    - I don't know. it's not something I can explain or even get to the root of. it's just where my brain goes. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 14:03 6
      - Could this be TMI? -- nm - OAE Apr 13, 14:15 5
        
        how about this: you don't talk to me or about me, I afford you the same privilege. stay the hell away from me and I'll leave you alone. - amanda jones Apr 13, 14:18 1
        
        Oh, sweetie, sounds like you're having a bad day. - OAE Apr 13, 14:27
        
        I don't see how. Can you? -- nm - mara Apr 13, 14:16 1
        
        because nobody wants to know!! never mind that someone asked... - amanda jones Apr 13, 14:19
        
        Oh yeah...this is gonna end well. -- nm - Jim Apr 13, 14:16
- pickpockets avoid tall guys? - loosilu Apr 13, 13:53 40
  - Hey ST Talls, a poll: Ever had your pocket picked? Not me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:54 39
    - Negatory. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, 6'0" Apr 13, 14:11
    - Someone tried on the Paris subway but I had my wallet in my front pocket. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 14:08
    - I had my schoolbag picked. but I'm just a semi-tall. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 13, 13:58
    - nope -- nm - J Apr 13, 13:56
    - Nope -- nm - con_carne Apr 13, 13:55
    - not me -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 13:55
    - oh, this is scientific. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:54 32
      - Just as much as any other ST poll, and we have been doing those for years. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:56 3
        
        you're definitely going to prove me wrong this way, by not comparing the results to anything. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:57 2
        
        This is not a scientific journal. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 14:01 1
        
        winning -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 14:02
      - anecdotes are just pub science! - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:56 1
        
        oh, for sure. My dad is just one data point. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:57
      - (as opposed to your dad's experience.) -- nm - TFox Apr 13, 13:55 25
        
        it might help to poll, I dunno, short people. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:55 24
        
        loosi, you can't deride a poll as unscientific in the same breath that you were appealing to anecdote as data. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 13:58 8
        
        I retracted my anecdote. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:58 7
        
        11 seconds ago. -- nm - TFox Apr 13, 13:59 6
        
        Welcome to loosi logic. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 14:00 1
        
        it's incredible. it's like a double rainbow that is wearing the three wolf night shirt. - TFox Apr 13, 14:03
        
        and now I'm free to deride. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:00 3
        
        did you hear that? - TFox Apr 13, 14:01 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I did, and it was awesome. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:01
        
        Because that will tell us about Talls getting pickpocketed? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:57 12
        
        you're trying to prove that shorts get picked more, yes? -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:58 11
        
        no, I think he's trying to prove that talls don't get pickpocketed at all. If he can prove that, several other related facts are proven as well. - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:59 3
        
        it's meaningless unless they get picked at a different rate than shorts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:00 2
        
        The concept of pickpocketing exists. Someone has been pickpocketed. If no tall has been pickpocketed, only shorts get pickpocketed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 14:01 1
        
        It just makes perfect sense. - Spawn Apr 13, 14:01
        
        No, just that pick pockets avoid Talls. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:59 6
        
        if no shorts get pickpocketed, then maybe pickpockets avoid everyone. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:59 5
        
        the very existance of pickpockets invalidates that hypothesis. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 14:01 4
        
        and I thought you were an empiricist. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 14:01 3
        
        yes, and the empirical evidence shows that pickpocketing happens. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 14:02 2
        
        sure, to my tall dad! - loosilu Apr 13, 14:03 1
        
        there's a word for people who carry on in things when they know the other side is annoyed by them - Reagen Apr 13, 14:06
        
        plus, what will use as a denominator for the standard deviations?! -- nm - TFox Apr 13, 13:56 1
        
        we need to do a two-tail T-test, STAT! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:57
Spawn: see if you can find out who makes up this ST Govt crap on .org. No mention on the Forum -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 13:51 1
- beanboy is with MORDOR now (I have a CT with him) so I sent him a message. Also to Yoda, their diplomat. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:53

- what does the condom do, exactly? it surely does not catch sperm. - TFox Apr 13, 13:52 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - That or an American Pie thing. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:56
- it would also make a great catchphrase. "I've had sex with women!" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:52
header of actual email I got (not spam!) "I was a foster child, died in a car accident, now i am running for Miss Canada Universe 2011!" - Reagen Apr 13, 13:49 1

So, this sash... she cute? -- nm - con_carne, 6' 3" Apr 13, 13:45
"Have a nice night..." - znufrii Apr 13, 13:44 5
- My stock phrase is "have a good one." I don't know why I say it to people buying condoms or pregnancy tests. - Tim Apr 13, 14:06 1
  - Appropriate. For the latter, it is whichever response they are hoping for. Much like a "Good luck." -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 14:09
- heh -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 13:46
- "Save a few for the next night." - Spawn Apr 13, 13:46
- "Oh, we will! It's going to be the best water balloon fight *ever*!" -- nm - znufrii si Apr 13, 13:45

  - (Pixie is the one who likes superman and dogs, right?) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:47 1
    - Yup. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:49
- That is one lucky cat -- nm - Huggy Bear Apr 13, 13:45
- gah! -- nm - znufrii Apr 13, 13:45
- A wild and crazy cat? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:44
- We need 8 more arrows. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 13, 13:44
