- cool: "To keep buyers, Hyundai is running an extraordinary promotion: If you buy a new Hyundai this year and lose your job, - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:18 2
  - Yeah, I saw a commercial about that. I wonder if there is any fine print involved. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:19 1
    - heh. I was at my parent's house watching the game this weekend and when the commercial ran, my stepdad and I looked at each other, - JaxSean Jan 5, 12:25
I hate points programs. I signed up for the one from National City what feels like 6 months - 1 year ago. I have enough points for... - oblique Jan 5, 12:16 4
- *winks* -- nm - Chipotle Jan 5, 12:26
- but, is it money you would have spent anyway? i use all my points programs for gift cards in november which i then use to buy christmas presents. - Andie Jan 5, 12:23
- I use points programs like a speed bag - Reagen Jan 5, 12:20

MN Supreme Court turns down Norm Coleman's plea to include 654 rejected absentee ballots in the final vote count. -- (link) - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:13 13
- none of the stories explain his arguement for including them...I'd like to know why they were rejected - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 12:29
- I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's better for the Republican party for Coleman to lose this and Al Franken to be a Democratic senator. - David Jan 5, 12:14 9
  - Well, if Coleman was to win, it wouldn't be long till he was out due to legal troubles -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 5, 12:29
  - Eh. You would have thought the same about Hillary Clinton in NY. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:15 7
    - Professional politician vs. a professional blow hard (literally)? No question, Franken is a one-termer. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:19 6
      - [deleted]
      - Unless he loses in the primary, I doubt it. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:20 4
        
        Why would you doubt it? He just won by the narrowest possible margin while riding Obama's coattails. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:22 2
        
        He's in a very liberal state. Coleman had a built-in advantage as an incumbent to make it close. - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:24 1
        
        Speaking as one of the most liberal people on the planet, I would have rather Franken have lost. And I like Al Franken a lot. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:26
        
        2014 will already be out of the Obama swoon. Franken's guaranteed for at least two "He said what?!" moments between now and then. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 12:22
- Norm needs to learn how to "find" a few boxes. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:14 1
  - Oh look! There's 500 votes for Franken that we just "forgot" -- nm - Strongbad Jan 5, 12:18

Leon Panetta to take over at the CIA. -- (link) - Mop Jan 5, 12:11 3
- I don't know how I feel about that, but the US has too many intelligence agencies in general. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 12:15
- If Panera took over the CIA we'd win hearts and minds with bread and pastries. -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:12 1
  - "When you have them by their stomachs, their hearts and minds will follow"? -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 12:13
FYI, speaking of fitness, I'm currently wading through the Fitness/Exercise section of the best 80 Lifehacks of 2008. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:11 3
- Costco is selling 2-year memberships to 24 Hour Fitness for $300. - psilotum Jan 5, 12:14 2
  - if they defer revenue recognition like they're supposed to, quite good. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:16 1
    - Thanks. That's a big IF, though. -- nm - psilotum Jan 5, 12:29

- AL East is just brutal. -- nm - budice Jan 5, 12:17
- Wake up, Orioles. -- nm - Inigo Jan 5, 12:13
- Good lord, I would have thought he would earn like $75 million for 5 years. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:12 5
  - I even overstated. $16M. - TFox Jan 5, 12:14 4
    - The economy is hitting everybody the Yankees aren't targeting. - David Jan 5, 12:15 3
      - C'mon Boston... go get me my Adam Dunn, damnit. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:20 1
        
        I cannot believe the Braves with their 27 homer OF are not looking at Adam Dunn. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:26
      - Manny's going to have to sell popcorn between Innings to get into the stadium. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 5, 12:18
- Go Rays! -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 12:11
so my mom has this friend, mary, who was living with this guy, dick, for over 20 years. - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:05 31
- *feels dizzy, has to sit down* -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 12:12
- what a cluster-effer -- nm - budice Jan 5, 12:10
- This might be the one exception to the "don't be mad at the girl he cheated with, get mad at your man" rule. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:09 16
  - That rule is BS. Men don't cheat with each others' SOs because of the "Bro code". Women have no such code -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:11 15
    - I disagree on both points -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:23
    - Yeah, I think there is more loyalty betweenst men in this regard. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:19
    - Let's face it, the bro code is more like a guideline - Guigue Jan 5, 12:17 10
      - what's *in* the bro code? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:19 8
        
        "Never rub another man's rhubarb." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:20 7
        
        no come on. what's in it? -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:21 6

        don't try to pick up a girl who's with another guy -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:23 3
        
        I was thinking of friends here -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:25 1
        
        OK -- nm - Roger More Jan 5, 12:27
        
        Don't sleep with your friend's ex -- nm - Guigue Jan 5, 12:24
      - "pants pirate." -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:18
    - I think it's the opposite. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:17
    - not true!!! -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 12:16
- Not related (or maybe it's some type of sign). Why does this post give me an ad for PinkCupid.com? (Meet your lesbian match!) -- nm - JD Jan 5, 12:09
- Wait. Who's Mr. Tennis? Although that's totally suck of Mary to cheat with someone after having been cheated on. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:08 6
  - oh, sue's husband. I always forget his first name. bill? bob? tom? tim? he's nothing to write home about. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:09 4
    - "Love/Zero" Is Sue divorcing Mr. Tennis? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:11 1
      - mr. tennis is divorcing sue. as mary says, "how can she complain? she's getting a huge check." -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:12
    - I get the feeling Mr. Tennis is feeling severe guilt (thus his confession) and would never do it again, either to Sue or Mary. -- nm - Mop Jan 5, 12:10 1
      - BS. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 12:18
  - What? She doesn't get her turn? -- nm - psilotum Jan 5, 12:08
- Hmm. So *that's* how you solve a problem like Maria. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 5, 12:08
- all the cheaters love mary lame -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:07
- holy crap. this is when you really have to put your trust in karma. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 12:07 1
  - seriously. all we did last year at happy hour was be outraged on mary's behalf. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:09

- no. what's wrong is that people are in denial about this. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 12:20
lir bery - LAX has its own police dept and its own set of operating rules and licenses. Transportation companies have to pay a $1000 license fee PLUS - CrankYanker Jan 5, 12:04 6
- how did the cop know they'd paid you? did he see cash exchange hands? - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:11 4
  - He interviewed them on the sidewalk - it caught me offguard because I didn't think I was in violation. - CrankYanker Jan 5, 12:15
  - Inference is probably sufficient. Like you don't have to see cash to bust someone for solicitation. (I went way over my legal budget in 2005) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:15 2
    - you're funny today. (if I didn't think so, I'd be bitching about you email.) -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:22 1
      - finally. *now* will you sleep with me? -- nm - Max Jan 5, 12:29
- I could easily see people cutting corners if that's the case. Or sharing vehicles -- nm - budice Jan 5, 12:06
Kim and I came to the realization yesterday that if we did an Abundatrade, we could get about 1,500 credits. - David Jan 5, 12:03 20
- This is the strangest form of cheating I've ever heard of. -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 12:05
- I thought shipping was included per their latest revamp. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:05 5
  - Shipping for the bartered item (i.e. a TV) would be free but shipping your stuff there is your responsibility. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:06 3
    - drive the stuff there and drop it off -- nm - decline Jan 5, 12:12 1
      - It's actually not that far away (South Carolina), but we're not that motivated. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:13
    - media mail. you can track and insure that. a lot of DVDs can fit in one box. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:06
  - or, you mean to them, not from. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:05
- I took 350 books to goodwill on saturday. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:04 12
  - Coincidentally, we filled an entire six foot tall cannister with clothes last night. - David Jan 5, 12:05 4
    - I went over to the one place in the town where you can leave recycable stuff for them to pick up - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:10 3
      - The Goodwill place here has the store in the front and the bin in the back. - David Jan 5, 12:11 2
        
        did you go tell them it was full? - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:14 1
        
        I didn't but I should have gone into the store and done so. -- nm - David Jan 5, 12:16
  - We left four bins of clothes at goodwill yesterday (all mine). - Callisto Jan 5, 12:04 6
    - You're my lcothes-purging twin. On Saturday I took in 5 big bags of clothes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 12:08
    - oh, I also had 1 box of clothes, two large garbage bags of clothes - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:06 4
      - I have one more closet to clean out. I'll be so pleased when it's done. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 12:07 3
        
        When I sort my clothes, I always take out the stuff I don't wear and look at it. But I just read an article that said - Amy Jan 5, 12:10 1
        
        I need to sort my clothes before I move. my thought is this: sort, but keep the purged items in boxes for a few months, just in case. then donate. -- nm - the last semester ever loves mandy lane Jan 5, 12:13
        
        most of the house is pretty much cleaned up, except - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:08

- dont select 1 min exercises then. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 5, 12:03 1
  - Sometimes you don't have a choice - if you want to do *any* of the yoga or strength exercises, for example. -- nm - kelly - fatty Jan 5, 12:05
I suppose, if you have a super-duper broad definition of cheating... -- nm - Amy Jan 5, 12:02 7
- otherwise, where do you draw the line, other than using an essentially arbitrary rule? -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 12:22
- If we're having an episode of "znufrii said some dumb shit that only applies in his imaginary relationship construct" today... - TFox Jan 5, 12:03 5
  - I'd reply to you, but it might be cheating. -- nm - Amy Jan 5, 12:04 4
    - Plus, if the thread went long enough that I had font shrinkage at the end, it's definitely cheating. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:08 3
      - Shrinkage = cheating??? -- nm - TaurusII Jan 5, 12:09 2
        
        Well, if my font was large and full and then suddenly lost its girth and power... - TFox Jan 5, 12:12 1
