offs, slate's at it again with punctuation fascism: first they came for two spaces after a period, now they come for the em-dash -- (link) - moles May 24, 22:21 6
- I like the em dash but people over use it. Maximum use should be twice in one sentence, and once per paragraph. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 06:33
- If we don't come to the defense of em dashes, then who will come to our defense when they take away our 3 dots...uh...I ask you. -- nm - zeitgeist May 25, 00:21 2
  - (ellipsis) -- nm - mafic May 25, 00:32 1

  - he -- nm - Don Homer May 25, 04:38 1
    - (heh) -- nm - Don Homer May 25, 04:39
  - Oh, right, the USS Lens Flare LFX-01 -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 22:18 1
    - Now you may think my editing was atrocious on that last post, but no, that's actually how J.J. Abrams writes. -- nm - Qale May 24, 22:20
Now that my fever has calmed down, maybe I can get some sleep ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 22:09 5

    - Hopefully I don't get the ear infections. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 22:12 2
      - indeed. *knocks on wood for you* -- nm - b! May 24, 22:13 1
        
        Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 22:16

- Once again, they fall short -- nm - amoxy May 24, 21:55 2
  - I'd like to have some face time with todd mclellan. -- nm - b! May 24, 21:59

- It's ok. You don't have to start wearing a shirt on my account. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:50 1
  - AMBUSH B'S BAZOOMS! -- nm - moles May 24, 21:51

  - sigh. -- nm - b! May 24, 21:52
My wife is holding the tv hostage with Teen Mom. And the teen mom is *retarded*. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:41 4
- Ditto for the teen mom's mom. Shee-it. But I guess that's usually the cause, anyway. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:45
- You'll need another TV. -- nm - Mop May 24, 21:42 2
  - And possibly another wife. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:44 1
    - TVs are cheaper to get...and now that i think about it, a lot cheaper to get rid of, you can't post your spouse on Freecycle -- nm - zeitgeist May 24, 21:52
pixie will be happy to know I've taught Nick the word "bazoom" (eg, "Ouch, don't elbow my bazoom!) which he thinks is hilarious. - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:41 1
- better than Leapfrog or Little Einstein -- nm - moles May 24, 21:44
Yikes! NZ trucker survives being blown up like a balloon when his buttock got pierced by an air hose. -- (link) - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:32 1
- ironically, his really name actually is "Wile E. Coyote" -- nm - moles May 24, 21:33

We are all just hens in the KFC of life. -- nm - INubby 4 May 24, 21:27
ok - poll question for fox and hen players ONLY (ie. those who have or are playing it) - hate the wait or want the wait? - JenBro May 24, 21:15 6
- want. I didn't sign up for facebook since I was such a non-factor after the first couple rounds in the first game. -- nm - mafic May 25, 00:07
- I prefer the wait. It means I know things happen at predictable times so I don't always have to be keeping an eye on it -- nm - Roger More May 24, 21:26
- no no - I'm not asessing fairness or time zones - just forget all that - and choose one. -- nm - JenBro May 24, 21:21
- not one of you, but wasn't the change to give a fairer playing field to people in different time zones? - b! May 24, 21:18
- It has pros and cons. The wait is fairer to all time zones, and changes the dynamic. - ty97 May 24, 21:18 1
  - Like in the first version, you could miss whole rounds. In this version, your participation is not only possible, but seems to be expected - ty97 May 24, 21:22
Dem Hochul won GOP house seat in NY. NYT calls it a rebuke of the GOP Medicare plan. -- (link) - Mop May 24, 21:12 3
- nah, the Tea Party dude was marginalized weeks ago, and the votes he lost had been going to Hochul -- nm - moles May 24, 21:13 2
  - Well, I'd love it for it to be a rebuke of the GOP's Medicare reform. I just hope the Republicans don't see the writing on the wall. -- nm - Mop May 24, 21:15 1
    - if they weren't willing to listen to their own pollsters, i'm not sure who they will listen to -- (link) - moles May 24, 21:19
"Raiders" stuntman Vic Armstrong tells about his experiences on the shoot -- (link) - moles May 24, 21:09 8

    - ... You've seen Last Crusade, right? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:33 4
      - I say again REAL and fake? -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:34 3
        
        It's a valid statement within the context of the film. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:35 2
        
        Ahhh... within the context of the film. That is different. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:37 1
        
        Besides, spoilers for davinci code - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:38
  - that grail wasn't fake, dumbass - moles May 24, 21:31
Jordana Beatty - the girl in the Judy Moody movie - is a young LiLo clone. Let's hope her career follows a different arc. -- nm - Mop May 24, 21:09
Small nearby ritzy surburb is reviving box car derby races... - zeitgeist May 24, 20:57 14
- funny. :) - there are regular races locally, including one this past weekend. iirc, jim's kids have participated in races, too. -- nm - b! May 24, 21:02 13
  - IIRC, Jim's are the carved wooden cars (didn't he talk about loading in track stuff)? -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:04 12
    - I think it's this. nm but: -- (link) - b! May 24, 21:16 10
      - heh. Two weeks ago I was cleaning out a storage building and I found both of mine. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:21 9
        
        And Pinewood is the small cars, Soap Box are the big ones. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:21 8
        
        yah, I figured that out. they're both pretty cool, but I like the "wheee!" aspect of the soap boxes. -- nm - b! May 24, 21:24 7
        
        Yeah, my pinewood racers never put anyone in the hospital. - Spawn May 24, 21:27 6
        
        everyone knows there's nothing I like better than putting children at risk. - b! May 24, 21:33 5
        
        It sounds like your IM takes all the fun out of it. - Spawn May 24, 21:36 1
        
        nah. - b! May 24, 21:42
        
        it's your ST schtick -- nm - moles May 24, 21:34 2
        
        b is 90% of the reason that ST is not a family friendly board. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:38 1
        
        We'd be at least 50% if we could just convince her to stop "bringing The Ladies out for some air" nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:45
    - That is, the small, hand held ones. -- nm - Spawn May 24, 21:14
i thought about watching that oprah spectacular. then i watched two seconds of it - moles May 24, 20:56 6
- I can't forgive her for Jenny McCarthy. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 21:26 4
  - yah, among the lowest points in recent years. -- nm - b! May 24, 21:35
  - Tronning "mccarthy" seems to corroborate this. -- nm - TFox May 24, 21:32 2
    - now do "motion sickness'! -- nm - moles May 24, 21:41
    - This was delightfully deadpan. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:36

Nubby - feel free to tell me to stuff it - but is there any reason you have to wait until 11 a.m. since chanticleer is the only special hen left? -- nm - JenBro May 24, 20:38 31
- Consistency. - nubby May 24, 20:42 5
  - ahh ok ... it's gonna be a long night in the coop tonight! :) -- nm - JenBro May 24, 20:51 4
    - (under the coop) - TFox May 24, 20:53 3
      - Down there with you -- nm - amoxy May 24, 21:05
      - *pulls the knife out of your back with jenbro's fingerprints still on it* -- nm - moles May 24, 20:58 1
        
        weeps for the Hen's lives I could have spared -- nm - JenBro May 24, 21:01
- The fox gets until that time to pick his ambush victim. -- nm - kelly May 24, 20:41 21
  - I thought the foxes had to vote at the same time the hens voted -- nm - JenBro May 24, 20:42 19
    - Baldrick, the ape creatures of the Indus have mastered this. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 20:48 16

        it's totally ok - I don't get it? -- nm - JenBro May 24, 21:03 6
        
        Irony - like Goldy, or Bronzy -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 24, 21:20
        
        I'm just playing with you. It's a quote from a tv show where a guy is having great difficulty learning to add beans despite multiple attempts. nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:06
        
        here -- (link) - moles May 24, 21:06 [youtube] 2

        God, I love that scene. "To another plate-swallowing bird who was blind and hadn't had it in months." nm - ralph wiggum May 24, 21:09

  - (don't pick kelly you rascal fox!) -- nm - moles May 24, 20:41

This is odd: I look up Teen Wolk in Netflix, and i see an option to stream it, but not to be sent the disk. - prayformojo May 24, 20:33 3
- yes, looking teen wolf up on netflix *is* odd. -- nm - mafic May 24, 20:35
