just realised what Liioulu meant (good linky here) ... John Travolta's son died -- (link) - zork Jan 2, 16:55
So I was thinking back to why my NYE hangover was so bad considering I actually drank *less*. Could it have been the lil' bit of champange which is - Qale Jan 2, 16:47 27
- Yes. Could be sulfites in it. -- nm - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 17:00
- For some reason, champagne always gives me a hangover. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 16:50 23
  - 'worth it' hangover or 'not worth it' hangover? -- nm - ty97 Jan 2, 17:12
  - Leprosy decreases liver function. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:00 5
    - IT'S NOT LEPROSY! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 17:02 4
      - I was kidding about the liver function, but it is leprosy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:03 3
        
        HHhmmmm ... if it is, I suppose that would be a good enough reason to move to Hawaii. - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 17:12 2
        
        not sure, I thought it was closed down. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 2, 17:19
        
        that right there is officer thinking. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:14
  - lizards don't metabolize alcohol well -- nm - pigby Jan 2, 16:56 1
    - Fascinating! -- nm - Old Guy in Geico Commercials Jan 2, 16:57
  - I really think that was it because I ate before and after, had bottle of water, and only had 4 drinks. Normal is 5. Tonight I'm just having 2. - Qale Jan 2, 16:54 13
    - And the bubbles push more alcohol into your system. - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 17:02 12
      - I think I should sumbit the myth to Jamie and Adam. They *love* alcohol myths. - Qale Jan 2, 17:06 2
        
        the soda water with your whiskey is a proven fact that it gets the alcohol through your stomach faster -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 2, 19:02
        
        aw, bummer. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:10
      - I don't see how that would work, though. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:02 8
        
        It's what "they" say. However I don't really know who "they" are and if there are scientific studies to back them up. - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 17:08 7
        
        I don't think there are any studies regarding what kind of alcohol gives worse hangovers. I think it hasn't been replicated. - loosilu Jan 2, 17:09 6
        
        I believe it all comes down to sugar content. The more sugary, the worse the hangover. - Dr.Vermin Jan 2, 17:14 1
        
        naw, can't be just dehydration, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:15
        
        I've seen them show that purity in vodka has no real notable effect and that drinking does indeed make you have "beer goggles" -- nm - Qale Jan 2, 17:11
        
        I did unofficial studies in college. ;) - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 17:11 2
        
        I have never noticed that in myself. In fact I seem to get drunker when I'm concentrating on one drink. -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 17:13 1
        
        Ahem!!! ;) - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 17:22
- there's only one way to be sure. Test drinking! -- nm - CQ Jan 2, 16:49 1
  - Oooh that was a terrible night too. When Heretic changed their well rum, I initially haeted it. So my bartender gave me little sips of each of the - Qale Jan 2, 16:53
OK, the Microsoft WorldWide Telescope is fucking awesome. -- (link) - Mop Jan 2, 16:44

  - A few years ago, I would have totally agreed with you - con_carne Jan 2, 16:32
- Don't call us "Matchbox 20"! -- nm - Matchbox Twenty Jan 2, 16:23 1

- It -- nm - lileve Jan 2, 16:21 3
  - FEK: It's hipster music. I like it, the music. Not hipsters. -- nm - lileve Jan 2, 16:22 2
    - But if you look like a hipster, eat like a hipster and listen to hipster music...then guess what? You're a hipster! - Trish Jan 2, 16:30 1
      - That's cool with me. What ever you like. I don't mind hipsters so much as I don't like the attitude of it sometimes. -- (link) - lileve Jan 2, 16:33

- And you are just figuring this out? -- nm - amoxy Jan 2, 16:11 2

LYC: you too can own your own Swingers Club in the heart of Dallas, TX -- (link) - Epiphany Jan 2, 15:53 5

- I would have thought you guys would have moved on to stuff like Left 4 Dead and Gears 2. -- nm - Tim Jan 2, 16:04 4
  - I just got Gears 2 for christmas, and a horde mode battle with STers would be fun - but Halo 3's multiplayer fits like a glove. There's no other way - Beryllium Jan 2, 16:05 3
    - They still need to implement massive persistent maps. That's all that remains to make Halo the greatest ever. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 16:06 2
      - 64 player battles? Not with *that* engine. Yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 16:06 1
        
        Yup. That's what I want. It's what will make the next Halo (not Recon) a great game. - Mop Jan 2, 16:09
- I interupt this Halo Chant ( sorry Crash) to ask if any of you have seen the Red Ring of Death on the Xbox? - Epiphany Jan 2, 16:02 6

      - good to know - maybe we got a bad console -- nm - Epiphany Jan 2, 16:04 3
        
        Heh, I bet you got a defective one that somebody returned and they just rewrapped it and put it back out for sale. - Trish Jan 2, 16:14 1
        
        quick, check the box for $10,000! -- nm - loosilu Jan 2, 16:21
        
        Very possible. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 16:05
- If you stare at the screen long enough, you can make a pattern out of the words. It looks like Crash getting PWNED by Mop! -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 16:00 3
  - Sandtrap Heavy, gauss guns and lasers -- nm - crash davis Jan 2, 16:02 2
    - That, sir, is my favorite map. A gauss is just a rolling sniper rifle to me. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 16:03 1
      - Ditto - I'm just annoyed that tanks are mostly impervious to it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 16:07

Jason Whitlock versus just about everyone -- (link) - Beaker Jan 2, 15:42 3
- and he is waaaaaay off the base on point #1. Cherry is well known in Canada for disliking Seperatists and promoting the military - Beaker Jan 2, 15:43 2
  - things he gets attacked in the media for all the time. -- nm - Beaker Jan 2, 15:44 1

Hey Trish, you around? - Mop Jan 2, 15:37 8
- I think it's mainly due to my docs refusing to do them for cosmetic or convenience reasons--they only do them when it -- nm - Trish Jan 2, 15:46 7
  - (sfek!) it's medically necessary. We get special notices of merit from Medicaid and Blue Cross every year for our c section rate. On the other hand, - Trish Jan 2, 15:51 6
    - Too bad about the VBACs, but seriously... that c-section rate is friggin' magic. There's money to be had there. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 16:01
    - VBAC successful rates vary widely (although not wildly) from between 60 and 80%. -- (link) - Mop Jan 2, 15:59 4
      - We just don't do them. - Trish Jan 2, 16:07 3
        
        I won't fault your doctors for defering to the hospital with the NIC in times of crisis, but it should be noted... - Mop Jan 2, 16:19 2
        
        We have very good, committed doctors (possible tmi inside) - Trish Jan 2, 17:24
        
        uh-huh...the docotors have another surgery scheduled...They want to get the heck out there.... - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 16:50
Oliver! was the last G-Rated Movie to win an Oscar for Best Picture (Spoilers) -- (link) - amoxy Jan 2, 15:34 1
- Yet Midnight Cowboy would *maybe* get an R. Are we moving towards some kind of middle ground? -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 15:39
Of course the classic was up 12%, it was the hottest sports ticket in town with two good teams. - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 15:29 9
- But that doesn't explain why NY or St.L or Philadelphia or Los Angeles would tune in. - Reagen Jan 2, 15:31 8
  - Wrigley Field in winter. ;) - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 15:34 7
    - *waves as the point goes sailing by* bye, bye point! -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 15:35 6
      - It did just pass you by didn't it. - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 16:23 2
        
        or, more likely, people watched it last year and spread the word about it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 16:29 1
        
        It's probably some of both , and those stupid ads. -- nm - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 16:35
      - Actually I'm thinking that if they rans those ads in the rst of the country as much as they did Chicago that might have something to do with it. - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 16:05

1/27th of the way there! -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 15:27 13
- Haven't looked yet, but what happens in the case of ties? Could make me stay away from the NHL completely. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 15:31 11
  - There are no ties in the NHL. It goes to the shootout and one team wins there. - Reagen Jan 2, 15:33 6
    - And no crying in baseball. -- nm - Mop Jan 2, 16:04
    - I'm trying to decide whether I want to bother with anything tonight. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 15:36 4
      - ah, I didn't realize you could make multiple picks a day. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 15:41 1
        
        Yes - Only one pick at a time, but as many picks a day as you can fit in that schedule. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 15:45
      - Oh, they have Creighton @ Illinois St on board for tomorrow. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 15:38 1
        
        i wish i could see that game...nm - x Jan 2, 15:40
  - Nevermind: "Matchups which go final with a tied result are considered a PUSH and scored as if the event didn't happen." -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 2, 15:32
  - there's currently no such thing as a tie in the NHL -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 15:32 2
    - I kind of hate that. -- nm - the liioulu with stuffed nose Jan 2, 15:35 1
      - I do as well. I hate shootouts, mostly. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 2, 15:47
