- You mean the Ford F-150 web site, as brought to you by ESPN? -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 5, 09:04
- it's been a lost site for years -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 09:03 1
  - I used to love trading there. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 5, 09:04

- Didn't hear anything. -- nm - Loyola Jan 5, 09:03
okay, *deep breath*, why won't my new iPod let me drag video over to it? - El Fandie Jan 5, 08:55 6
- maybe it has a hormone imbalance too -- nm - pigby Jan 5, 09:02
- download iTunes again -- nm - Apple Jan 5, 09:00
- wrong format? is it avi and the ipod only plays mp4? I have that issue with my ATV. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:56 1
  - GO TO SCHOOL! -- nm - El Fandie Jan 5, 08:57
- Is the video in an incompatible format? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 08:56 1
  - i just downloaded a free video thing from itunes to test it. it should be TOTALLY compatible. - El Fandie Jan 5, 08:57
Steve Jobs letter to the public: "Hormone imbalance caused my weight loss." OK, experts: tell me why this isn't true. -- (link) - Mop Jan 5, 08:51 12
- If we were talking about Wozniak, I would bet it was Kathy Griffin's hormone imbalance that caused it. -- nm - zork Jan 5, 09:05
- hyperthyroidism, for one. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:53 2
  - This is the exact one that I thought of. And it would fit, too, wouldn't it? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:55 1
    - actually I don't think it does, but surely there are many hormone disorders we don't know about. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:56
- He should have said that listening to his iPod caused him to lose weight.. would sell a gajillion. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:53
- lots of medical conditions can cause weight loss, many that you would not want despite the apparent benefit -- nm - pigby Jan 5, 08:52 1
  - especially for someone like Jobs, who's system is already messed up from the whole cancer thing -- nm - decline Jan 5, 08:54

    - After all, what *is* Mapple without Steve Mobs? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 08:56
  - This is not the first public statement about his health. So my question to Apple is: So, this is the story we're supposed to believe, right? -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 08:53 1
    - I would say since it's the latest, yes. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:55
I really like the REVRD trailer. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:48 22

  - Changeling needs a massive buzz re-injection if it wants one -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 08:54 7
    - I think people who decide these thing may feel Clint has won enough lately. Like how Frost/Nixon may get a bp nom ahead of Changeling is beyond me. - Loyola Jan 5, 08:57 6
      - Let's remember that the Oscars never nominate the best 5 films of the year - ty97 Jan 5, 08:59 5

        it's an opinion, of course, but one I feel solid stating -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 09:01 1

        It's one of the most subjective, personal things there is. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 09:01 1
        
        Yeah. What I thought was the best movie of 2007 (King of California) was light-years away from a nomination. -- nm - Jelly Jan 5, 09:03
- ugh. I hate the trailer. It's so dreary. - Callisto Jan 5, 08:50
- [deleted] 11
  - Yikes... -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:54 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I need to see Button yet....it's really long isn't it? The short story was....boring. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:56

Facebook has reached a nexus for me. - ty97 Jan 5, 08:41 30
- They're killing independent Ty! -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 5, 09:12

  - I find it's hard differentiating on Facebook between High School people whose names I don't know and ST people whose names I don't know. -- nm - Ender Jan 5, 08:58
  - This is solved by not having any friends from High School. - JaxSean Jan 5, 08:51 2
    - you know what? this is actually kind of my thing: I didn't like any of them except maybe ten people. so the people friending me are the people - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:54 1
      - It seems people who do this either want to "network" or just have a high amount of friends for their vanity -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 08:59
  - And by the way, this is why I'm on Facebook under an assumed name... - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:50 2
    - You are so odd. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 08:56
    - that's not your real name? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 08:53
  - I think "My sister posting embarassing pictures of me as a kid" beats that. -- nm - secretslacker Jan 5, 08:49

    - I mainly use it to play Word Twist. I only joined for the games, really -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 08:47 4
      - oh, I actively avoid the games. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:48 2
        
        I play wordscraper with my sister (an ongoing game) - Callisto Jan 5, 08:52
        
        I block every single application I'm sent. I do, however, play wordcrapper when I have time. like now. which reminds me, mara, do you wordcrap? -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 08:50
      - oh crap, I think I have games waiting my moves. (damn swimmy brain) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 08:47

One thing I can thank Tropic Thunder for: the phrase "Simple Jack". - TFox Jan 5, 08:35 9

  - *gives you the wushi finger hold* -- nm - JBLAC Jan 5, 08:39
  - but then, he was suppossed to. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:38
  - Huh? That was the least annoying Jack Black has been in several movies. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 5, 08:38
  - (I generally liked the movie overall, but would have been much better with different actors in their places.) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 08:38
- and "full retard". -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 08:35 3
  - not sure if anyone noticed or thought it as funny as I did but... - Mel Profit Jan 5, 08:38 1
