- I disagree! -- nm - Guigue Jan 5, 08:29
Mandy I never said I did not respect the wishes of other from other on ST with somments on FB...honestly I never talk to any of ya'll. -- nm - Stacy Jan 5, 08:26 3
- Stacy, I honestly think you should just apologize to Red and move on. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:30
- and by all being worried about what I might say to ya'll on FB seems rather stupid when I don't talk to any of you... -- nm - Stacy Jan 5, 08:28 1
  - understanding this, but it was *the one time* you did choose to post to redmond that's at issue. it's not a good ratio. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:32
*jumping up and down.* nobody cares, but guys! guys! HFS menus are *online* now!! -- (link) - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:25 7

- misread train of thought: high school musical cafeteria food -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:29 1
  - They have time to eat with all that singing and dancing? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:29
- nice. I hated when I'd go to Schlotsky's and it was shit soup day -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 08:27 3
  - Speaking of soup, we went to a fairly new restaurant here last week. Their spicy sweet potato soup was divine. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 08:29 1
    - now I'm hungry. I wonder if the blue chip (not a dining hall, so no online menu) has decent soup today. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:31
  - see? see? *you* know how great it is. *happy!* -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:28
BSG Season 2.5 A- (slight spoilers) - Inigo Jan 5, 08:25
heh. heh. "and Clairborne jumped on the boat like the seaman he was." -- nm - Ted Kennedy on cspan Jan 5, 08:20
Also, there is no need for gay bars, obviously, because everyone should just be forced to be comfortable being themselves, no matter the reactions. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:15 19
- [deleted]
- this analogy kinds fails dude - ty97 Jan 5, 08:18 16
  - I didn't mean that they aren't comfortable with who they are, just that the reason many gay bars sprung up (I thought) was to avoid disapproval. - TFox Jan 5, 08:25 2
    - so if I follow you, the YMCA is the gay bar? - Reagen Jan 5, 08:26 1
      - The YMCA is the gay bar for me, yeah. I can let my fatass freak flag fly on the nautilus equipment at the Y. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:27
  - Like Hooters? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 08:21 1
    - I (happily) have no idea - ty97 Jan 5, 08:22
  - I think he's got a point, but he's got it backwards. - TaurusII Jan 5, 08:21
  - [deleted] 9
    - I'm *shocked* that you think you're winning this argument. - Reagen Jan 5, 08:21
    - Just got here but is he arguing that there should be gyms exclusive to overweight people? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 08:21 7
      - No, just that it is reasonble and acceptable for some people to not feel comfortable in gyms. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:26 4
        
        and that it is therefore ok for him to be an ass. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:31
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Well, technically no, you said uncomfortable or not, you should still go to the gym and feel uncomfortable, or get a thicker skin. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:28 1
        
        [deleted]
      - no, he is suggesting that JD not be such an ahole. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:21 1
        
        Glass houses. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 08:25
- and no sports bars! -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 08:17
I've decided I prefer North and South to Pride and Prejudice (tv versions). -- (link) - LMS Jan 5, 08:13
I offer for discussion: A movie should not be knocked for being predictable, if it does what it does well. -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 08:13 15
- I agree... if it's predictable but done in an interesting way then it's okay.. but too many movies are just predictable and blatant about it. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:27
- Speaking for my own tastes, I agree. There are lots of other qualities that go into a good movie besides that. -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 08:22
- in theory I agree, although it limits their ceiling. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:17 1
  - True. There's no such thing as a predictable 5-star movie. -- nm - Jelly Jan 5, 08:21
- Example? -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 08:14 10
  - porno...nm - x Jan 5, 08:22
  - Heist type movies? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 08:21 1
    - this is a great example. so few of them are poorly done. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:28
  - genres like romantic comedies. Ghost Town? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:16 6
    - or horror movies. we all know the good guys usually live, but some are still compelling (though I am remiss in finding an example currently). -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:21
    - Romantic comedies are for the most part predictable, so they rely on the strength of the leads. - Jelly Jan 5, 08:19 1
      - ha. "OMGiloveu" -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:22
    - serendipity. I hate how charming it is. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:17 2
      - Love that movie. It's stupid, I know. Kinda like For The Love of the Game -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 08:18 1
        
        stupid kevin costner. argh. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:19
My least favorite article today: many smokers ignore the health effects of "third-hand smoke". -- (link) - TFox Jan 5, 08:12 2
- The smell of stale cigarette smoke is one of the foulest things out there. - Reagen Jan 5, 08:14 1
  - I 100% agree with that sentiment, even as a smoker. I guess I just... I dunno. - TFox Jan 5, 08:17
Despite the cliche played out plot, "Obsessed" actually looks interesting - MDH Jan 5, 08:08
[deleted] 5
- So many films in 3D this year that I want to see...this isn't one...but UP and Coraline I have to see in 3D -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 08:25
- I wonder what the ROI on this act is. how many of the glasses will actually even be used? I think this is actually kind of dumb. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:12 3
  - Don't discount the power of perception of reality over reality itself. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:17
  - well, Chuck will be in 3-D as well. So it's not just for one thing. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 08:13 1
    - I'd wear a Snuggie in the privacy of my own home, but would probably feel stupid wearing 3D glasses. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 08:26
[deleted] 1
- we have a Solicitor General? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:07
ML, I'm an IBM baby, I remember the old days. - ty97 Jan 5, 07:59 6
- those personal computers won't amount to anything. keep making those mainframes!....nm - ibm in the 80's Jan 5, 08:02 5
  - yet, somehow their architecture is the one that persisted. weird. -- nm - zork Jan 5, 08:04 4
    - it's not that weird, really. companies that come up with tech are often blind to the best application of their innovation....nm - x Jan 5, 08:08 2
      - good point -- nm - zork Jan 5, 08:22
      - Yep. Too bad they tried to cripple their small-to-medium computers to bolster their mainframe business. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 08:17
    - I blame Bill Gates. -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 08:06
Jack. Homeslice. Why the *fuck* would I go spend money to take time away from my family to spend time somewhere I'm not comfortable? - TFox Jan 5, 07:59 43
- [deleted] 10
  - in any case, why should he have to put up with someone else with an attitude -- nm - zork Jan 5, 08:08
  - People who are uncomfortable with their bodies, in unfamiliar territory, being given dirty looks my fit regulars................. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:07 3
    - This is pretty much why, though I often think I should, I haven't and probably never will join a gym. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 08:09 2
      - I'd like to second TFox's endorsement of the Y. I don't hvae one near me but the ones I have visited were great. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:10 1
        
        I'm not going anywhere near TFox's Y (or whatever he's calling that area today) -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 08:13
  - if you've got hostiles staring at you while you try to get comfortable with the equipment, you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. - Callisto Jan 5, 08:06 1
    - Nicely put. -- nm - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 08:09
  - Because, Simple Jack, those of us who do not go often to gyms or have only had bad experiences at them, don't know how to find a "good" gym we'd enjoy - TFox Jan 5, 08:06 1
    - YMCA is good, if there is a Lifetime Fitness I'd recommend that, good family gym. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 08:11
  - he doesn't want to go somehwere he feels unwelcome? what a wuss. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:04
- Unless you're miserable, you're being anti-social. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:01 31
  - [deleted] 28
    - You should watch the Biggest Loser sometime. It seems a majority of these issues have nothing to do with exercise, etc. -- nm - oblique Jan 5, 08:11 16
      - [deleted] 15
        
        I think this is one of those cases in life where you have to accept that you can't relate. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:20 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        So you're down on someone who has willpower issues for not having enough willpower? You must alot of fun in the AA meetings :) - oblique Jan 5, 08:19 12
        
        [deleted] 11
        
        You're missing the point still. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:24 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        the complaining ain't bad, just if it that shines through at the gym, it could be detrimental to others - ty97 Jan 5, 08:32 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        if you want your gym to be uncrowded, then by all means drive them out, but then don't in the same breath complain about them being weak minded. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:27 5
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Let's not forget that you've simultaneously started discussions on how people react to actual rude, hostile behavior. - TFox Jan 5, 08:32
        
        My feeling is that you aren't hiding your hostility as well as you think you are. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:30 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        *nods* -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 08:28
        
        bear in mind that a lot of people with body issues were bullied, so this kind of behaviour is *exactly* a repeat of this - Reagen Jan 5, 08:24
    - somewhere, on another message board... -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:09
    - yes, some of us are. you may think it stupid, but not everyone is like you. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:08
    - Yes. And it's legit, and every person on erf has something they are sensitive about that they don't like people critiquing, even silently. - TFox Jan 5, 08:07 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        In that I just avoid annoyances so I don't need to rant, but you are nice enough to share them with all of us b/c we love them so much? - TFox Jan 5, 08:11
    - absolutely, dude. There's confidence and self-image issues galore that you're only making worse. - Callisto Jan 5, 08:07 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        so you're not making faces at the person (like you said above)? - Callisto Jan 5, 08:11 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        There are so many other issues at play than "lack of will power", though. - Callisto Jan 5, 08:18 1
        
        as an aside, I always found it was the suppossed "experts" that didn't use the machines properly more than the novices. - Reagen Jan 5, 08:20
  - Unless you're already buff, you don't belong in a gym. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:01 1
    - So it's like a home loan. - TaurusII Jan 5, 08:05
It's more or less unsearchable - Have we discussed the 9 trailer? -- (link) - Reagen Jan 5, 07:57 22
- Martin Landau's still alive? -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 08:19 1
  - Would that be something you are interested in? -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:32
- it looks cool. me, i'd rather have it directed by some guy who did wanted than by tim burton himself....nm - x Jan 5, 08:10 5
  - Its only produced by Burton. Its directed by the guy who did the short its based on. -- nm - AJRimmer Jan 5, 08:16
  - Burton's a producer not a director. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:16 3
    - which.....is exactly what i'm saying....nm - x Jan 5, 08:26 2
      - Timur ain't the director either though. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:29 1
        
        i see now, the ad reads weird. honestly i'd be happy if a trained chimpanzee was directing instead of tim burton.... - x Jan 5, 08:31
- speaking of 9, Peter Mullan is good in Boy A but his role of roles is still Session 9. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:01 4
  - Adds Session 9 to DVD list. I do have to watch him with subtitles on The Fixer though. -- nm - LMS Jan 5, 08:14 1
    - heh, I suggest watching it late late at night. you'll have nightmares for a month, but it'll be totally worth it. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:18
  - Totally agreed... Mullan is great.. he's on my short-list of "want to interview" -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:08 1
    - "I'm sorry, can you repeat that? ... what? ... say again?" -- nm - the interviewer Jan 5, 08:10
- Here's the short film. -- (link) - Dano Jan 5, 08:00 [youtube] 4
  - Wall-E meets a Tool video. - Mel Profit Jan 5, 08:04 2
    - that's a great call -- nm - prayformojo Jan 5, 08:10
    - To me it looks like what Little Big Planet would've been if Burton was at the helm. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 08:06
  - The resolution seems a bit better in this link. -- (link) - Dano Jan 5, 08:02 [youtube]
- JaxSean splurted over it, I believe. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 07:59 1
  - I see. And what else did you do in Jacksonville? -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 08:00
- [deleted]
- I watched it yesterday and it looks amazing. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 07:58
Wow, ESPN's redesign looks like they cherry picked the worst of Cbssportsline and their old site and went with that. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 07:57 5
- [deleted]
- I'd like to complain about it, but so long as there's not video automatically blaring at me when I load the page I can'. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 08:00 1
  - +t -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 08:00
- Really? I think it looks cleaner, and no more auto-loading video on the front page - Reagen Jan 5, 07:59 1
  - I could forgive almost anything if they killed autolaunch video. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:00
is Drill Sergeant Sceire in the house? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 07:57 1
