ST Poll: Ten "most famous" Survivor Players? -- nm - psilotum May 31, 10:55 41
- Hatch. A little Fairplay. Boston Rob. Rupert, around here (since he is from here). That is all. -- nm - Spawn May 31, 11:06
- we may be underestimating some of the other Playboy Survivors too. The blond and the dark haired girl who posed together -- nm - Beaker May 31, 11:05 2
  - see? I would recognize those 2 women (and the one who did the sex tape - what was her name) before I would recognize most of these names. -- nm - decline May 31, 11:06 1
    - Jenna, Jenna, and Heidi -- nm - Jovian May 31, 11:07
- Famous AS Survivor players: - Jim May 31, 11:02 15
  - wouldn't famous mean non-survivor watchers would recognize their names? - decline May 31, 11:06 1
    - Hence my above. -- nm - Spawn May 31, 11:07
  - To round out my 10 - Jim May 31, 11:04 2
    - So, even doing Playboy doesn't guarantee you a top 10 spot! -- nm - psilotum May 31, 11:05 1
      - I put Jerri on my list! -- nm - Jim May 31, 11:07
  - I agree with those 6. I'd add Parvati too. My roommate who doesn't even watch the show now still remembers her. -- nm - MDH May 31, 11:03 1
    - how could anyone forgot the hotness that is her? nm - Jovian May 31, 11:04
  - But for Hasselbeck...there's no way she gets The View if she wasn't on Survivor. - Will Hunting May 31, 11:03 7
    - I see what you're saying, but it wasn't their outdoor savvy and strategizing that got them the parts. you know? - amanda jones May 31, 11:04 1
      - Put it this way, she was famous enough to get The View gig for what reason? Cuz she's tested well on Survivor. - Will Hunting May 31, 11:08
    - "I'm so angry! Like waking up next to Rob Schneider angry!" -- nm - Roger More May 31, 11:04
    - I added Hasselbeck...but not Colleen. Ask people now and many would have a hard time remembering who she is. -- nm - Jim May 31, 11:04 2
      - I honestly think if you'd get the same reaction for most players outside of the Survivor watchers.... - Will Hunting May 31, 11:06
      - mmm. Colleen -- nm - oblique May 31, 11:04
    - This is right. -- nm - David May 31, 11:04
- Boston Rob, Hatch, Russell Hantz, Parv, Elizabeth, Amber, Colby, Rupert, Fairplay -- nm - Jovian May 31, 11:00 2
  - and I'd say #10 spot could be either Jerri, Coach, Yul, Yau-Man, Peener, Cerie -- nm - Jovian May 31, 11:04 1
    - I'd put Rudy over any of these second tier ones -- nm - Beaker May 31, 11:05
- You have to think of those who have made a career for themselves outside of Survivor (or reality in general). #1 - Hasselbeck. - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 10:59 4
  - as pointed out below, Jimmy Johnson trumps Hasselbeck :) -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 11:01 1
    - but he was famous going in. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 11:04
  - Fairplay made no name for himself wrestling. His biggest non-Survivor moment was getting crush by Danny Partridge. -- nm - David May 31, 11:00
  - agreed. -- nm - Beaker May 31, 11:00
- Rob, Hatch, Russell, Colby, Fairplay, Cole Hamels wife, Rupert, Hasselbeck, Filarski, Rudy -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 10:58
- Inside: - MDH May 31, 10:57
- hatch, boston rob, ELR, coach wade, colby, rupert, fairplay, amber, amanda, parvati ... -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:57
- Boston Rob, Russell Hantz, Colby Donaldson, Rupert. -- nm - Kim Pine May 31, 10:56
- for playing, or for other reasons? like hasselbeck is famous, but not for playing. -- nm - amanda jones May 31, 10:56 1
  - It doesn't matter as long as they are associated with Survivor. - psilotum May 31, 10:57
- Off the top of my head, and not in any order... - psilotum May 31, 10:55 6
  - oh, yes, ethan is a good one ... and what about Ozzy/Yau-Man/Yul? -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:57
  - Boston Rob, Hasselbeck, Russell, Jerri Manthey, Hatch, Parvati, Fairplay, Rupert... -- nm - Roger More May 31, 10:57 4
    - And Jimmy Johnson -- nm - Roger More May 31, 10:59 2
      - Now that is one I would exclude in response to Amanda's question. - psilotum May 31, 11:01 1
        
        Oh I agree. But they made so much of him in his season, and I found it funny no one here mentioned him -- nm - Roger More May 31, 11:03
    - good call on Jerri -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:58
LIR: Weekend movies. The Fighter, A. Deathly Hallows Part One, A-. -- nm - con_carne May 31, 10:48 8
- Kung Fu Panda 2: A-, Thor animated movie: B-, Kim's cleaning: A. -- nm - David May 31, 10:50 7
  - The cleaning was a team effort - A for us both! - Kim Pine May 31, 10:55 5
    - I thought you were meeting Jody et al for lunch? -- nm - David May 31, 10:57 4
      - no, I emailed you and said I'd be home. Brandi had messed up her schedule for the week. -- nm - Kim Pine May 31, 10:58 1
        
        Well, I was walking out the door to Buddys. You want turkey? - David May 31, 10:59
      - (Sorry, ST.) -- nm - David May 31, 10:57 1
        
        Quick, talk about hens and foxes and no one will even notice! -- nm - Kim Pine May 31, 10:58
  - Oh, I've heard of that one. Sounds really naughty. -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 10:52
she geeks out she says... -- nm - Mel Profit May 31, 10:48
Sammy Report for Remlik... - Mel Profit May 31, 10:48 5
- and cheese too. -- nm - Diva May 31, 10:52 3
  - right, right...cheese. - Mel Profit May 31, 10:53 2
    - you're delish. -- nm - Diva May 31, 10:54 1
      - well, then there is that. [nm] - Mel Profit May 31, 10:59
- well done. -- nm - Remlik May 31, 10:49
When buying tickets (story inside) for a baseball game, is it worth an extra $10 total to sit 7 rows closer? - oblique May 31, 10:46 9
- Cubs stubhub hubbub -- nm - con_carne May 31, 10:50
- The StubHub fees kill me. There needs to be competition in this market. -- nm - psilotum May 31, 10:49 2
  - Do stubhub prices change throughout the day? I swear that the cheapest seats were $5 before now there are 4 seats for $3.99 in the 16th row - oblique May 31, 10:57 1
    - It's all up to the sellers, they set what they want to sell them for. So they could change it, or a new seller could have listed more tickets. -- nm - Ender May 31, 11:08
- At an extra 2.50 per ticket I think it's probably worth it. -- nm - Ender May 31, 10:48
- $2.50 a ticket? yes. -- nm - Andie May 31, 10:48 2
  - Would you pay 2x the price ($10 vs $5) to sit in the 9th row? -- nm - oblique May 31, 10:52 1
    - 9th vs 15th? no. -- nm - Andie May 31, 10:52
- That doesn't seem worth it for just 7 rows. -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 10:47
I guess this is what happens when Rain Man plays Geometry Wars -- (link) - Beryllium May 31, 10:45 [Image]
Just finished Starcraft II. Kerrigan has an uncanny resemblance to my ex. Scary. -- nm - celedhring May 31, 10:38
Someone take this stupid box of Mike & Ike's away from me right meow. -- nm - TFox May 31, 10:38 1
- why should I ruff that? -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 10:40
I wonder how many "I want"s this will generate -- (link) - zork May 31, 10:33 5
- Nice. A little big for what it is, though. I would expect a fold-up OLED to fit in my pocket. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 11:00
- "Rolltop is a portable computer development concept" = it doesn't exist -- nm - decline May 31, 10:36 2
  - but if you donate, you are on the list for first orders -- nm - zork May 31, 10:45 1
    - in 20 years when the tech catches up to the concept - decline May 31, 10:46
- Clever. -- nm - lileve May 31, 10:36
Last week I noticed an orange dot on a big beautiful tree in the park. Got there this morning just in time to see it brought down :( - MojaveMeg May 31, 10:28 2
- maybe it was diseased and you just couldn't tell. -- nm - sycor May 31, 10:50 1
  - Could be. It was also very close to the back fence of the fire dept. Could have been a problem with the roots. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 31, 10:54
This is supposedly a real dog. -- (link) - loosilu May 31, 10:28 2
- I would totally love that puppy. - Kim Pine May 31, 10:33
- But is it a real tea cup ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg May 31, 10:29
Heh, you beat me to the fix, Jim. -- nm - David May 31, 10:25 1
- Boo yah! :) -- nm - Jim May 31, 10:26
FWIW, when I watched The Mechanic, I thought Donald Sutherland looked like he needed to retire. - David May 31, 10:19 3
- Donald, for the past 15 years, has been paycheck mode. -- nm - Remlik May 31, 10:22 2
  - Dirty Sexy Money disagrees. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 10:23 1
    - that was solid work, which he will still do. But otherwise most of it is paycheck work. -- nm - Remlik May 31, 10:26
way TMI post (you are warned) - Reagen May 31, 10:17 10
- If this happened to me, I'd way a lot less than 204 lbs. I haven't slept all night in about 6 years. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 10:50 1
  - All this talk of insomnia makes me think I should *actually* do an ST after dark mod - Beryllium May 31, 10:52
- This happens to my wife if she doesn't get enough sleep. - JaxSean May 31, 10:35 1
  - me too, if it's bad enough. - Dr.Vermin May 31, 10:47
- Sub-poll: I didn't read. Did you read? -- nm - David May 31, 10:25 3
  - yes. it's not bad. -- nm - loosilu May 31, 10:30 2
    - not really TMI to read. Rather bad for the sufferer though -- nm - ty97 May 31, 10:35 1
      - I pretty much never read TMI posts. -- nm - David May 31, 10:43
- A Clockwork Ent. -- nm - Diva May 31, 10:25 1
  - I'm about 50 % more alert now, which is something. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 10:25
World Health Organization says cell phone use can increase possible cancer risk... -- (link) - Don Homer May 31, 10:16 3
- (sorry, I completely missed this down below) -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 10:22 1
  - damn, I was about to say that it increased the risk of mopping. -- nm - loosilu May 31, 10:23
- The agency now lists mobile phone use in the same "carcinogenic hazard" category as lead, engine exhaust and chloroform. -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 10:17
In Focus: A visit to an Arctic ice station... -- (link) - Don Homer May 31, 10:15 4
- Fabulous! It ain't Antarctica, which is 30 degrees colder ... - OAE May 31, 11:27
- The aerial picture of the Trans Alaska Pipeline makes me think what an amazing thing that is. - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 10:57 1
  - It sure is. Another piece of trivia regarding the pipeline... - Dr.Vermin May 31, 11:00
- or 'Tuesday' for Mafic -- nm - marcel May 31, 10:39
Christian Bale has been cast as Henchman #3 in The Hunger Games -- nm - con_carne May 31, 10:15 1
- Immediately after this announcement, the Director of Photography quit. -- nm - David May 31, 10:16
ok, computer tech question - tRuMaN May 31, 10:14 8
- To a single client, no. To multiple clients, perhaps -- nm - oblique May 31, 10:39
- more cache is better, because the HD can read data a whole lot faster than the network can accept it - bigger cache means less wear on the drives - Beryllium May 31, 10:16 4
  - here is what I am looking at - tRuMaN May 31, 10:19 2
    - Compare on MTBF ... -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:52
    - That's quite a pickle. -- nm - Mop (204 lbs) May 31, 10:52
  - k. tis what I thought. obviously in my machine - tRuMaN May 31, 10:17
- From what I've seen on video boards, you definitely want 7200. -- nm - David May 31, 10:15 1
  - (I don't know about the other.) -- nm - David May 31, 10:15
So, have I posted my Survivor season 23 and 24 casting spoilers here yet? I don't think so...here they are (spoils) - Jim May 31, 10:07 20
- This turned out a little better than I thought it would - Roger More May 31, 10:53
- jim, do you apply to play every season? (you should.) -- nm - amanda jones May 31, 10:23
- so they've just given up on casting new people now? -- nm - Reagen May 31, 10:18 3
  - It sounds like a regular cast + two returning survivors for both seasons. So, no, they haven't given up. - Beryllium May 31, 10:19 2
    - Yes for S23. S24 is a full on All Stars. -- nm - Jim May 31, 10:24 1
      - oh, that's different. I like all-stars ones. -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:26
- Lame lame lame. -- nm - Strongbad May 31, 10:09 2
  - but then again, I also thought Rob/Russell would be lame and it turned out better than I thought. -- nm - Strongbad May 31, 10:10 1
    - This. Although ... - Beryllium May 31, 10:12
- yuck all the way around -- nm - prayformojo May 31, 10:08 1
  - I get a kick out of the complete obnoxiousness that is Coach...but I can certainly see the yuck factor. - Jim May 31, 10:10
- *hate* -- nm - David May 31, 10:08 8
  - i really wonder why they feel compelled to go in this direction -- nm - prayformojo May 31, 10:10 7
    - Jim, Kim and I discussed this some over the weekend. (spoilers, I guess) - David May 31, 10:13 5
      - why would sandra get cash? -- nm - amanda jones May 31, 10:27 3
        
        They've paid players to return in the past. One of the reasons Brian, the terrible winner, didn't come back is that his asking fee was too high. - David May 31, 10:29 2
        
        this is crap. for love of the fame isn't reason enough to play? -- nm - amanda jones May 31, 10:44 1
        
        I doubt she'd make the list of the 10 most famous Survivor players. (nm) - David May 31, 10:45
      - ralph is gonna really enjoy that season. (not wiggum) -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:15
    - The reason I've seen posted on ST was that the last time they did an all new cast, it tanked. - Strongbad May 31, 10:13
I was wondering if you sing the entire score of the H.M.S. Pinafore -- nm - prayformojo May 31, 10:03 12
- BART!Youwannaseemynewchainsawandhockeymask?! -- nm - Reagen May 31, 10:18
- No one who speaks German could be an evil man. -- nm - Ender May 31, 10:09 2
  - well shut my mouth: it's also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling -- nm - prayformojo May 31, 10:10 1
    - is that so, Mr Ferret-Pants? -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:13
- what key? -- nm - Ainsley Hayes May 31, 10:08
- "I shall send you to heaven before I send you to HELL." -- nm - con_carne May 31, 10:05
- *steps on a rake* -- nm - Ender May 31, 10:05 1
  - *steps on a rake* (nm) - musubi May 31, 10:06
- They're all about duty. (nm) - Kim Pine May 31, 10:04 1
  - Says the man of Chicago. -- nm - David May 31, 10:14
- I do geek out on some things, but not G&S. -- nm - Diva May 31, 10:03
- ~ I am the very model of a modern major general ~ ... wait, is that the right one? -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:03
*realizes i just sang 'Red Ships of Spain' out loud. Is embarassed* -- nm - Diva May 31, 10:02
people are gonna go nuts but you heard it hear first: A branch of the WHO says cell phones may cause cancer. -- (link) - loosilu May 31, 10:02 11
- and Diet Coke causes blindness too! -- nm - Strongbad May 31, 10:05 2
  - oh, that's on my short list of stuff we'll regret later. all those artificial sweeteners. -- nm - loosilu May 31, 10:05
  - I don't think Diet Coke is the issue there. nm -- nm - groiny May 31, 10:05
- Go nuts? It's been a given hasn't it? -- nm - lileve May 31, 10:02 7
  - No, it's been constantly dismissed as quack science for a decade. -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:03 6
    - I wouldn't say that. Results have been characterized as inconclusive. Not at all quackish. -- nm - loosilu May 31, 10:03 5
      - it's non-ionizing radiation. There shouldn't be risk. -- nm - Reagen May 31, 10:19 4
        
        isn't radar non-ionizing as well? Microwave, too? -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:50 1
        
        (I believe both of them have documented ill effects for us fleshbags, although usually only in high doses) -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 10:51
        
        and Titanic shouldn't have needed those life boats. - loosilu May 31, 10:25 1
        
        Keep the ice cubes in your Diet Coke to a managable size. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 31, 10:48
