Lady Gaga's new single "Judas" has hit the interwebs. It's a lot better than I anticipated. -- (link) - MDH Apr 15, 10:16
groiny, it's just over $15 for a two-ride for my train so that's what you pay a month for a 10-ride. per month it's $249. and then there's the subway - zork Apr 15, 10:14 4
- $5. per month. pretax. - amanda jones Apr 15, 10:28
- mine would be $324/day if I had to come up each day - znufrii Apr 15, 10:21 1
  - $324/month, rather -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:21
- Metro North from NYC to CT is like that -- nm - lileve Apr 15, 10:18
Breaking news: Qaddafi forces firing cluster bombs into residential areas. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:13 6
- Didn't Clinton sign into law a no assassination law? If so all this could have been prevented. -- nm - lileve Apr 15, 10:19 3
  - I know the original thing was an Executive Order....those can be changed by the Executive. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 10:27
  - well, cluster bombs are illegal. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:25 1
    - which has nothing to do with a no assassination law. I have no idea about that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:25
- Umm...that was NATO, I swear!!! You are all on drugs! -- nm - Qaddafi Apr 15, 10:19 1
  - All I wanted was a Pepsi! -- nm - lileve Apr 15, 10:20
Living Social is running a $1 Lunch promotion at 80 restaurants in DC to promote their "Instant Deals" it is chaos -- (link) - MDH Apr 15, 10:08 [Image] 2
- I was wondering about that. I got the email yesterday from them. (Was hoping they'd do it here, too.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:09
- madness! -- nm - decline Apr 15, 10:09
By the way, if two more people buy a race car drive from my facebook link, Spawn's gift is free. And, you can use it at any track any time. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:07 3
- Oddly: I received at least 3 emails from Living Social today with that offer. Strange -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 10:08 1
  - Their site is a bit fubar today. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:09
- that's an awesome gift. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:08
friday hax chat q: "Jack" and "Amy" go out on a first date, but don't click. Jack then asks Amy to reimburse him for the tickets to the theater show - moles Apr 15, 10:01 35
- F*ck the Doorman right in front of him -- nm - Epiphany Apr 15, 10:24 2
  - heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Apr 15, 10:32
  - oh hell yes. -- nm - amanda jones Apr 15, 10:28
- "Have fun dying alone." -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 10:18
- Run. Away. Now. -- nm - Jim Apr 15, 10:08
- No and no. But hey, Amy got a great story out of this. - Dr.Vermin Apr 15, 10:07
- free tickets? what totall bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:06
- Send him a bill for her time lost spending the evening with him. Time is money! -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 10:06 1
  - I like this idea... -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:06
- It's not like she called off the date before they saw the show. If you hated the show, ask them for a refund. -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:05
- I wouldn't call it offensive but she doesn't have to pay him back. But she did set precedent by paying for half the dinner. -- nm - sycor Apr 15, 10:04 8
  - how is that precedent when there was no cost for the theatre tickets? -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:08 6
    - yeah that's the hanging point. I can see his logic that he lost out on selling them. I disagree with him but I can see it. -- nm - sycor Apr 15, 10:22 3
      - even if his logical point holds, it is still beyond the realm of etiquette to ask for reibursement after the fact for a date gone bad. - znufrii Apr 15, 10:24 2
        
        I agree with you. Like I said, I can see his line of thought. I do not agree with it. -- nm - sycor Apr 15, 10:27
        
        especially when it's not even reimbursement, since he didn't pay. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:26
    - lost revenue from potential sale -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 10:16
    - There's no precedent in hax! -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:15
  - In for a penny, in for a pound, Amy! -- nm - Jack Apr 15, 10:04
- He got free tickets, then wanted her to pay for the unused ticket? Her reply should be "F*ck off, Jack-tard." -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:03 12
  - Totally -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 15, 10:20
  - this -- nm - decline Apr 15, 10:09
  - yup. - znufrii Apr 15, 10:05
  - Not unused, reiumburse for his lost revenue because he didn't sell on craigslist -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 10:05 4
    - He could have gone and scalped them in front of the theater if he wanted the money that bad. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:12 3
      - theatre was before dinner, so before they realised they weren't compatible -- nm - Roger More Apr 15, 10:13 2
        
        Oh, you're right. But that's even worse. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:15 1
        
        Yep. -- nm - Roger More Apr 15, 10:27
  - I have to believe her "Do I have to pay him back" question is rhetorical or something. Would anyone actually give that request a second thought? -- nm - mara Apr 15, 10:04 2
    - yeah, it strikes me more as a "can you believe I went on a date with this d-bag" letter rather than one actually asking for advice -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:08 1
      - which I'm totally ok with in this case. great story. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:10
  - this -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 10:04
- It's not offensive so much as clueless. Of course she doesn't have to "pay him back" -- he didn't pay for them, for one thing. -- nm - mara Apr 15, 10:03 2
  - And even if he had paid for them, it's still out of line IMO -- nm - Roger More Apr 15, 10:04 1
    - agreed -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 10:09
all right Spawn...I'm gonna dust you in Kentucky. -- nm - Remlik Apr 15, 09:57 9
- kinky -- nm - decline Apr 15, 10:10
- "shit just got real" -- nm - Amy Apr 15, 10:02 1
  - "Word." -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 10:03
- These new names for sexual acts are confusing. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 09:59 4
  - I'm afraid to ask where "Kentucky" is. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:05 1
    - (and why it's dusty.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:12
  - "Why does everything have to have a "Denver" version of it?" -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 10:01 1
    - I really liked that episode. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 10:04
- Remlik's gonna have a party... -- nm - bc/nc Apr 15, 09:58
Xbox shipped on Monday. Should arrive at repair center today. F*#* that sucks. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Apr 15, 09:56 6
- Vaguely related question - con_carne Apr 15, 10:00
- It really does. -- nm - starving kid in Africa with a fly on his face Apr 15, 09:58 4
  - I wonder if we can give this kid a friend. maybe a elderly Japanese woman in a shelter. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 10:09
  - *throws a sticky grenade at starving_kid_in_Africa_with_a_fly_on_his_face 792* -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 10:01

Aeroplan gets worse. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 15, 09:52 1
- glad I spent all mine. my last ticket to australia was only 90,000, not 115 like the article says though. -- nm - mafic Apr 15, 09:55
Don't think twice, it's all right -- nm - prayformojo Apr 15, 09:44
Dude. -- (link) - Mop (210 lbs) Apr 15, 09:42 [youtube]
I'm surprised the Syrian uprisings keep growing given the heavy-handed crackdowns. -- (link) - Mop (210 lbs) Apr 15, 09:38 1
- IMO, that's exactly why they keep growing. -- nm - TWuG Apr 15, 10:08
ST Poker - anyone set up a game for tonight? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 15, 09:37 14
- I need to play Halo tonight. (need to do the beta testing disc thing.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 09:38 11
  - I saw zero difference in it. Do we know if the Reach will work forever or is it temp? - Spawn Apr 15, 09:40 10
    - Is there anyone here that is still wanting Reach? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 09:45 8
      - I ended up buying it -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 09:49 7
        
        And so did Jim. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 09:50 6
        
        Jim who? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 15, 09:56 5
        
        Jim Van Nest, Dammit! -- nm - Jim Apr 15, 10:01 4
        
        you gonna join the dark side???? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 15, 10:03 3
        
        I got it for my kid. 13th birthday yesterday. I don't even have Live connected yet. -- nm - Jim Apr 15, 10:07 2
        
        you did not answer my question........ - groiny Apr 15, 10:15 1
        
        probably not...I don't have that kind of time at night. -- nm - Jim Apr 15, 10:19
    - [deleted]
- I set one up last week, so it should be ready to go. 9:30 pm ET -- nm - znufrii Apr 15, 09:38 1
  - okay - if the computer I use for it is at my house at that time - I will play -- nm - Epiphany Apr 15, 09:44
Did Charlie Sheen smoke in Toronto last night? -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 09:37 7
- he did not. he pulled out an electronic cigarette. he had Russell Peters 'co-host' with him. someone with stand up experience and it was still - Andie Apr 15, 09:41 6
  - The ashes thing was kinda cool of them, though. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 09:44 2
    - it was. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 09:46 1
      - I am just glad she used the *real* FB Sheen. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 09:53
  - thanks. I'm surprised he didn't, really. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 09:43 2
    - i think maybe he doesn't want to be seen as a 'rule breaker.' which sounds odd, but, he has all those lawsuits - Andie Apr 15, 09:45
    - me too -- nm - Epiphany Apr 15, 09:45

  - Cheney used to say stuff like that all the time -- nm - con_carne Apr 15, 09:37 1
