this photo of Paul Giamatti as Ben Bernanke in Too Big To Fail is incredible in how closely he resembles his part -- (link) - crash davis May 5, 11:50 2
- The beard looks glued on, but then, so does Bernanke's. -- nm - Mop (207 lbs) May 5, 12:05
- thats him? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 5, 11:51
so, (i have time on my hands today), i think some day we should write in to hax and the winner is the person whose letter gets published. - Andie May 5, 11:49 5
- It'd be fair for me to enter. I'd win, and I wouldn't have to make anything up. -- nm - Inigo May 5, 11:56 2

- those prima donnas treat their sous chefs like dirt. wah wah, they can't do a quick flash challenge, cry me a river -- nm - lord tubbington May 5, 11:36 6
  - for moment I was thinking that you may actually know what you are talking about, I don't know why I fooled myself like that -- nm - crash davis May 5, 11:38 4
    - plus, how do we really know that the food actually tastes like what the judges say it tastes like? you don't, that's what - lord tubbington May 5, 11:40 3
      - the recipes get put up online if you'd care to try them at home -- nm - crash davis May 5, 11:44 2
        
        sure. and i bet those are *exactly* the same ingredients the "masters" use - lord tubbington May 5, 11:46 1
        
        I did a Johnathan Waxman recipe from last year that was simple and awesome -- nm - crash davis May 5, 11:48
  - why change Standard Operating Procedure? -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 5, 11:37
Kristin Chenowith on Glee this week. As we're watching, I tell me wife "She played Glinda in the original Broadway production of 'Wicked'." My wife: - Mop (207 lbs) May 5, 11:33 6

- Wicked no spring chicken. 7.5 years old itself now. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 11:34
- I love her. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 11:33 3

  - I keep forgetting she was on Pushing Daisies. God I miss that show. -- nm - Mop (207 lbs) May 5, 11:34 1
    - I want to buy it on Blu-Ray, but $70 is entirely too much. -- nm - nubby May 5, 12:03
I have nowhere near $80k in my 401(k) -- nm - znufrii May 5, 11:32 6
- I don't think we have $8k in our 401k's (now). -- nm - JaxSean May 5, 11:45
- I would have had significantly more than that but got wiped out by the ex. - decline May 5, 11:39 4
  - I need to get married and divorce. I could use the cash. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:40 3
    - the really sad part? She took it as cash and spent it. -- nm - decline May 5, 11:41 2
      - horrible. -- nm - lileve May 5, 11:51
      - yikes. -- nm - CQ May 5, 11:43
early hax chat q: do women have "expiration dates" past 30 for finding relationships as they get older? - lord tubbington May 5, 11:31 28 1
- This is "Waaahhh!" to the Nth degree. Work or being as attractive as you can to yourself and others, and the rest will fall in line. - Inigo May 5, 11:52
- Describing yourself as "therapized" will do a lot more to drive men away than getting old will. -- nm - Ender May 5, 11:51 1
  - I dunno. "I've got plenty of baggage, but I got wheels attached so it rolls smooth these days" would be encouraging. ;) -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 5, 11:52
- [deleted]
- i don't think you ever become undateable or invisible. 40 yo women might be invisible to 25 yo men, but who cares? - Andie May 5, 11:41
- yep, she's a lunatic, that's why she's single. holy hell -- nm - CQ May 5, 11:40
- No one is going to tell you all that stuff isn't true. You need an attitude adjustment. -- nm - con_carne May 5, 11:37
- Is there a question in there? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 5, 11:37 1
  - she's asking Carolyn to tell her she's wrong. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:38
- You know why chicks who are 26 are hot? *because they dwell on this* - Max May 5, 11:36 4
  - *don't dwell* -- nm - Max May 5, 11:37 3
    - I know! She's "therapized" her way to being no fun at all. -- nm - Amy May 5, 11:38
    - phew. I was super confused. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:37 1
      - I should remember not to post within two hours of eating a full meal. -- nm - Max May 5, 11:39
- Oh FFS. No. I don't know how many women I know who (re)married in their fifties. -- nm - Amy May 5, 11:33 2
  - I don't know how many women you know either -- nm - crash davis May 5, 11:35
  - (hear that spawn?) - lord tubbington May 5, 11:34
- Depends....what age do the boobs go from perky to saggy? -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 11:33 3

    - And the way they're taken care of. -- nm - Jim May 5, 11:45 1
      - [deleted]
- What makes her think this is limited to women? -- nm - ty97 May 5, 11:32 6
  - it's really not equivalent. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:33 5
    - you don't think men panic about getting older and not finding someone? -- nm - Andie May 5, 11:43 4
      - Don't be the old guy in the club! -- nm - C.Rock May 5, 12:08
      - I always had 33 years old as kind of my "deadline" to be married and have kids, cause that's how old my dad was when I was born... - Stephen May 5, 11:52
      - oh, sure, but they don't feel the biological clock pressure. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:45
      - Not if you're Sceire's boss. -- nm - Roger More May 5, 11:45
Ok, of all the Situation Room Meme's in that article, I think I like the Obama Multiplicity one the best. -- nm - Stephen May 5, 11:29 15
- "Welcome to the Situation Room. I'm the Situation, and this is my room!" -- nm - znufrii May 5, 12:05
- I liked the one with the gaming controller -- nm - con_carne May 5, 11:36
- The Jersey Shore one made me laugh. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:31
- I loved the I'm a PC/I'm a Mac one, but I can't find it now. -- nm - David May 5, 11:31 10
  - not a repost (but I did go looking for the old one, and in fact found it) -- (link) - Beryllium May 5, 11:33 [Image] 1
    - I suppose technically it is a repost, just not of the one you requested. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 5, 11:34
  - repost -- (link) - prayformojo May 5, 11:32 [Image]
  - nmbl -- (link) - con_carne May 5, 11:32 [Image] 6
    - Oh that one is awesome! -- nm - Stephen May 5, 11:37 5
      - If anyone has a link of that to the site it's on (not just the .jpg) can you post it? I'd like to share that on FB. -- nm - Stephen May 5, 11:44 4
        
        Try this one -- (link) - con_carne May 5, 11:52 3
        
        That worked, thanks! -- nm - Stephen May 5, 12:03 1
        
        What I'm saying is it requires people to click twice. Oh well, it is worth it! ;-) -- nm - con_carne May 5, 12:06
        
        Bleh, that's not very good, either. - con_carne May 5, 11:54
- I liked Chloe, implying that Jack Bauer was repelling in through Osama's bedroom window. - Dr.Vermin May 5, 11:30
Fitting? R line rated dirtiest subway line in NYC -- (link) - ty97 May 5, 11:28 3
- Probably. It depends on the day but most of the trains are clean these days. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:32
- that was mine when I lived in Astoria. it's pretty nasty. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:28 1
  - Not anymore. It was a dirty train for years but it's been okay over the last few years. - Krusty May 5, 11:34
Amy, it's unclear how much their pensions will be, and employers have been ending pension programs in scads. I wouldn't count on SS. And she's - ty97 May 5, 11:26 22
- And she mentions the 10% penalty but not the tax due on the withdrawal. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 5, 12:00
- Planning on inheritance seems nuts to me, but I think planning that SS won't exist when we retire is way too far in the other direction. - TFox May 5, 11:35 9
  - I will be surprised if no SS (or related program) exists, but I expect it to be smaller and gutted, perhaps with a means test. - ty97 May 5, 11:37 8
    - it won't even start to pay out anything less than 100% of benefits until 2037 -- nm - lord tubbington May 5, 11:39 7
      - Eliminate the max earnings amount that SS is taxed on. -- nm - Don Homer May 5, 11:42
      - You have a time machine? You realize this can all change, right? -- nm - ty97 May 5, 11:41 5
        
        and yet, you took the negative view and did the same thing. -- nm - decline May 5, 11:43 4
        
        For personal planning purposes, absolutely. I'm taking the conservative approach to my retirement savings. - ty97 May 5, 11:45 3
        
        I'm not saying your wrong, just pointing out you held him to the fire for doing the same thing you did :) -- nm - decline May 5, 11:48 1
        
        Disagree fully. I said "I wouldn't count on SS" which is cautionary, not a blanket affirmation. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 11:51

- Between your posts from yesterday and today, I imagine the boyhood you as Manny from Modern Family ;) -- nm - con_carne May 5, 11:28 3
  - not at all. I was the 26 year old with 30K in credit card debit and no pot to piss in. I know of what I speak. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 11:29 2
    - I'm apparently a few years behind your learning curve. - sycor May 5, 11:32 1
      - I hate debt immensely. I understand the desire in the B2 post to use 401K money just got be done with the debt....but it's just not financially wise - ty97 May 5, 11:34
- Related, I could retire in eleven years if I wanted to. -- nm - Amy May 5, 11:28
- [deleted] 4
  - That's my plan: Existence of SS or Inheritance will be nice, but I'm planning for neither to be there. - ty97 May 5, 11:30 3
    - me three. -- nm - lileve May 5, 11:31
    - I have to believe--or I'm a homeless old lady. I make Burger King wages. -- nm - Amy May 5, 11:31
    - me too. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:30
- plus they have kids. Hello, college tuition. -- nm - loosilu May 5, 11:27
Justified (spoiler) - prayformojo May 5, 11:25 1

- pfft, as if Ebert still has a sense of smell -- nm - Beryllium May 5, 11:25
payback! -- nm - lord tubbington May 5, 11:24 1
