        what, its not as if she'll visit. -- nm - loosi on BB Jun 6, 16:36 5
        
        It works well if you want to talk about what type of mood she's in. Angry-fried, mischievious-deviled, romantic-over easy, confusing-scrambled. -- nm - jnine Jun 6, 16:39 1
        
        or just laid -- nm - loosi on BB Jun 6, 16:40

- you will hear from me later this evening. -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 16:08 1
  - *mwah* -- nm - kelly Jun 6, 16:09

Web-based reality series about Salem witches set to begin filming in August -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jun 6, 16:01 5
- "and this week, one witch WILL be burned at the stake" -- nm - moles Jun 6, 16:11 1

- The MLB Draft is the biggest roulette in sports. Don't ever sweat the picks. It's almost entirely projection. -- nm - David Jun 6, 16:13 12
  - One of my big issues is that it would be a signability issue. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:20 5

        Now I wonder why all the people started hearing those other two guys today. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:28 2
        
        I think they've come around to the idea that pitching pitching pitching is the answer. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:32 1

  - Re-watched this over the weekend. Yeah, you can't help but flash on all the movies it's inspired since its release. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 6, 16:34
