Unsurprising: the concession lines at the theater for Mamma Mia! almost made me commit seppoku. - TFox Jan 5, 07:08 7
- I assume you mean Theatre, for the play, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 07:10 4
  - I didn't go see it in Montreal, bery. I saw it in an American-spelled theater. :) -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 07:10 3
    - not that i care, but it really should be theatre. :) -- (link) - El Fandie Jan 5, 07:12
    - it's a reprise of an earlier discussion where it was suggested that stage theatres should be called Theatre, and movie theaters should be Theater. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 07:12 1
      - Yeah, I remember. I just reject the argument. It's like "film" vs. "movie". -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 07:13
- So??? - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 07:09 1
  - It was fun. I was not the target audience at all, but I enjoyed it. - TFox Jan 5, 07:12
Speaking of the Streak, what a weird prop bet: who scores more tonight, Ohio State or Chris Bosh? - TFox Jan 5, 07:02 3
- Team Canada!! -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 07:09
- I'd bypass that one if I could. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 07:08 1
  - Today is a suck day. I'm taking Danny Granger to outscore Carmelo, b/c Denver can't play D for shit and Melo has bone spurs in his elbow. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 07:09
LYC: hee, it cracks me up when my Cuban office mate yells at her boyfriend on the phone. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 07:01
hey, secret SLACKERS, if you haven't sent your stalker gift, get on that. chop chop. -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 07:00 2
- I'm living up to my name... I haven't even sent my summer stalker shirt yet. - secretslacker Jan 5, 07:12
- so demandie! -- nm - Max Jan 5, 07:10
Speaking of assy: I made the mistake of watching most of The Heartbreak Kid on the movie channel the other day. - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:57 9

  - Excellent, thanks. I haven't even bothered to bring my laptop home tonight, but will try at work tomorrow. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 07:02
- I'm so sorry. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:59 2
  - limited. profile. they can still see you, they just don't get status updates and stuff (you define what 'limited profile' means to you.) -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 07:03 1
    - obviously this shouldn't be here! :) -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 07:09
- I think I may pick up "assy" in my lexicon. it's unexpectedly fabulous. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:59
- what a terrible terrible movie. -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 06:58 2
  - I couldn't believe it was the Farrellys. Even their lesser movies are normally at least fundamentally sweet. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 07:00 1
    - this is w hat happens when they try to remake a Charles Grodin movie. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 07:02
Oh dear Lord... my mom has joined Facebook. I do not approve of this. What do we all move on to once FB is uncool? -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 06:57 9
- Defriend her or set her on a very restrictive set of things she can see about you -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 07:02
- I added my mother as a friend when she joined - I have no idea why. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 07:01 2
  - My parents keep up on my doings via my Twitter feed. I posted a Simpsons quote a while back and got an e-mail from my dad... - Ender Jan 5, 07:04 1
    - Heh. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 07:07
- put her on limited profile. trust me. - El Fandie Jan 5, 06:59
- Is her current mood 'Amorous'? -- nm - LMS Jan 5, 06:58 3
  - So far she's just figured out how to enter her name, birthday, add one friend, and send me a message. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 06:59
  - Miss Smutty plays mean. :) -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:59 1
    - It's a recent joke from The IT Crowd -- (link) - LMS Jan 5, 07:03
Ahhh, refreshing shower. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:56
Can you do worse than TFox? Streak for the Cash SlackerTalk group. Group: SlackerTalk, Password: berymander -- (link) - Dano Jan 5, 06:55 3
- Or is it better than TFox? -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 06:56 1
  - 23 more and you owe them $1,000,000 -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 06:58
- I'm awful at this game. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 06:56
Woo! I know exactly what I'll be spending my $30 gift card from Best Buy on - Strongbad Jan 5, 06:54

- SCRUBS!!!!! -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 06:55
- Monk -- nm - mara Jan 5, 06:52
- also, according to TV.com the next new burn notice isn't until the 22nd -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 06:51 1
  - *world crumbles around her* -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:52
- the unit (last night) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 06:50
have I told you guys that I downloaded all of chuck to keep me company while I'm sick? it's pretty good, you all are right. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:49 4
- "ou est la salle de Awesomes?" - Beryllium Jan 5, 06:50 3
  - awesome is "genial" -- it sort of loses something there. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:57 2
    - How French. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 07:05 1
      - it's an awesome word in french. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 07:11
Chargers....Eagles....nicey nice -- nm - budice Jan 5, 06:30 9
- Here are my picks: Giants over Eagles, Panthers over Cardinals, Titans over Chargers, Ravens over Steelers. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:41 8
  - Giants, Panthers, Ravens, Steelers. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:57
  - Eagles, Panthers, Titans, Steelers -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 06:54
  - Ravens play the Titans. Chargers play the Steelers. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 06:52 3
    - Oh, whoops, you're right. Titans over Ravens, Steelers over Chargers. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:54
    - Yeah, this is true. It seems weird the Chargers would be a higher seed because they eat all the dicks, but they are. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 06:53 1
      - You don't see me coming to your job and knocking all the dicks out of your mouth. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 07:12
  - I think we're going to have all the 1's and 2's in the championship games. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 06:42 1

New Year's Resolution: To work out every morning as my wife does. Day one: Fail. I can't follow - TWuG Jan 5, 06:28 2
- it just takes time getting used to the aerobics tapes. everyone looks like a total spaz the first few times. :) -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 06:39
- I already worked out this morning... I hope to at least do so three or four times - secretslacker Jan 5, 06:29
Speaking of sizes - my newest attempt to get into a smaller size has me realizing yet again what horrible shape I am in. 30 minutes of Wii Fit - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:23 11
- Sore is good. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 06:48
- I wish you could tailor your workout more in WiiFit. - Inigo Jan 5, 06:33 1
  - Yeah, that wouldn't be a bad idea. -- nm - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:37
- It's a good sore, though. You know you're doing what needs to be done. - Callisto Jan 5, 06:26 1
  - I will be much happier when I unlock the boxing game. I *love* that one. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:28
- One of my favorite articles from last year was from Gizmodo where the guy said the WiiFit didn't help him lose weight other than shaming him into - oblique Jan 5, 06:26 3
  - ha! - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:27 2
    - I had trouble with it because it was more "eastern" focused and less cardio-type exercises. I'm hoping the Outdoor Challenge game works better for me -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 06:29 1
      - I like that it has a little of everything. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:58
- I like you better the way your are. Get rid of the Wii and come to Ken's PS3. *We* won't ask you to weigh yourself. - Ken Kutaragi Jan 5, 06:25
- every journey starts with a single step, grasshopper. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:25
This is the only place where women can have an in-depth conversation about lingerie without it being even remotely sexy. Bah. :( -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 06:20 2
- well, it's not even remotely in-depth yet. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:21 1
  - That's what really scares me... -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 06:22
So it seems someone has used my credit card to sign up for blockbuster.com - oblique Jan 5, 06:19 4
- Weird, had all my information (address and such, but a different email address) - oblique Jan 5, 06:34 2
  - they probably weren't. Just a dummy account to confirm that the stolen card data is valid. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 06:41 1
    - Bastards -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 07:04
- The call is coming from inside the house!! -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:19
Ed Reed just picked of Chad Pennington again. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:15
Prequel clips for 'Being Human' - the werewolf, vampire, ghost houseshare drama coming soon. -- (link) - LMS Jan 5, 06:14
guys, I'm sick and all I freaking want to feel better is a lemon freaking donut. I hate this town! -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:12 10
- Btw, my work laptop has the fucking Antivirus 2009 that your friend had. - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:19 9
  - are you unable to try to fix yourself? it was time consuming, but very easy to get rid of it. if you need tools, we can link you. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:27 3
    - My main problem was that the couple of legit anti-virus tools I wanted to use couldn't be downloaded because I don't have an admin password. - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:32 2
      - we used this tool and spybot. -- (link) - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:44 1
        
        Much appreciated. I suspect I will be thwarted, but it's worth a try. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:48
  - Also, they told me that ot -- nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:20 4
    - SFEK: that it is largely being spread via Facebook and Myspace. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:21 3
      - have you gotten the "I spotted your profile photo" wall-post from anyone? that might well be the method. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:28 2
        
        That may have been it. Bad internet is totally maddening. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:35
        
        When I got it from my friends, it was supposedly a video they posted. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:30
I have a serious question for St based upon a photo from the big picture site - tRuMaN Jan 5, 06:08 [Image] 4
- Yup. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 06:41
- yes, and it's a hell of a shot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:15
- Of course. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:13
- Why? Is it not news? -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:12
Congratuations Rey Maualuga, your team just won the Rose Bowl! -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 5, 06:04
did you see the big picture's set on ski jumping friday? -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 5, 06:03 1
- This was one of their weaker sets overall, I thought. - Reagen Jan 5, 06:09
Confession: I sometimes want to get in fights with other people's FB friends when they make asshole posts. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:02 5
- I did this once. it felt very ticker talk. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:12 3
  - I generally enjoy getting little glimpses of other people's networks, but occasionally that's just a rock you don't want to look under. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:16 2
    - I have to delete a lot of posts by the 140lb friend. last night he posted *on my wall*: lee is lowjackin. where is u - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:21 1
      - "I is reviewing Strunk and White". I sometimes get Blackberry message from a *partner* I work with that read "R U still on that call?" nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:27
- Heh. This was not related to jones's post below. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 5, 06:04
one of my friends FB status is: "... is wondering where all the chicks 90-115lbs went? Everyone seems to be like 140 lbs. plus?" ew. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:02 39
- What's hilarious about this is that people think I'm skinny, and I weigh 130. -- nm - mara Jan 5, 06:42 2
  - Actresses and models have been lying about their weight for years. Most people have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:44 1
    - sfek. no idea what 115 pounds looks like. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:46
- Does he not like boobs? -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:26
- you should respond "10th grade". -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:16 2
  - and how does he even know how much they weigh? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:24 1
    - He likes to be on the bottom? -- nm - TWuG Jan 5, 06:31
- and people wonder why women get body image issues. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 06:14
- I'm not sure if this is a sign or something, but I noticed while shopping the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale the other day that - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:05 30
  - [deleted] 4
    - Others might know better than me, but maybe they're being deliberately restrictive with their brand. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:23 3
      - Yeah, many women's clothing stores do that. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:25 1
        
        This is sadly true. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 06:28
      - if they are, they're idiots. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:23
  - in 2006, the size percentage breakdown for VS for XS S M L was 10 30 40 20. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:10 5
    - that's bullshit. their L for bras is 36C. I ask you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:16 4
      - bras have a *way* more complex breakdown because of ABCD etc. I wouldn't even attempt that one. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:18 3
        
        In my size, in the stores, all they ever stock are ugly ass colors. I fucking hate vicky's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:21 2
        
        again, better to avoid them for quality reasons than for size availability reasons. but whatever. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:22 1
        
        oh, I'm not even opening that box. I fucking hate vicky's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:23
  - That's pretty standard for them. You have to order online if you are actually a normal size person. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:07 18
    - I actually went to the store because I tried ordering online, and it was the same deal there! - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:09 17
      - I would have to have bones surgically removed to get into their size S. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:17
      - yeah, they're out of everything right now (it seems). -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 06:12 2
        
        I wound up with 2 pairs of really nice pajamas so I was happy. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:14 1
        
        I ended up ordering PJs from Macy's. Everything at VIcky's is pink. Pink is cute and all but not so much on me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:18
      - Similarly, they don't sell "tall" sizes in store, which is rather ironic since their models are all so tall. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:12 12
        
        OTOH, who needs a Tall in a bra? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:18 6
        
        They only sell bras? News to me. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:21 5
        
        I thought their clothing was catalogue only? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:22 4
        
        I'm not sure what you mean. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:25 3
        
        pants and dresses and whatnot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:26 2
        
        They sell pajamas/casual workout kind of clothes (the Pink brand) etc. in the stores. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:31 1
        
        oh, duh. sorry Don. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:31
        
        I kiss stores that sell tall sizes in things other than suits. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:13 4
        
        Do you have much luck finding what you need? - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:17 3
        
        wellt hey do, but you have to be a shopping ninja to get them - Reagen Jan 5, 06:19
        
        To be fair, not much goes well with Shrek look-a-likes. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:18 1
        
        Not true. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:20
somebody say something -- nm - prayformojo Jan 5, 06:02 1
- something. -- nm - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:05
