  - like 20 years ago. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:30 3
    - I know he had them when he started winning Grammys, which was (or close to) this century. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 10:32 2
      - imdb says he cut them in 1998. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 7, 10:41
      - hmmm, not in 2000. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 7, 10:40

- I don't think I've encountered any of these. Ever. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 10:39
- hard to argue with those...nm - x Jul 7, 10:30 4
  - but no foam on the list!@ -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:33 1

Ok, so I've mentioned that I have the house to myself this week, yes? Carrie and the boys are at Scout Summer Camp. (kids are dumb inside) - Jim Jul 7, 10:22 32
- 25/44 boys are medicated? Holy shit. -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 10:36 1
  - i actually wondered about this too. -- nm - kare Jul 7, 10:38
- [deleted] 1
  - just don't get them mixed up with the candy hallucinogens - moles Jul 7, 10:38
- how the nurse at my summer camp treated homesickness - moles Jul 7, 10:24 25
  - like ST treats ranting? - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 10:30
  - not to be all CQ but I kind of think this is a far more appropriate approach - kare Jul 7, 10:27 12
    - I definitely prefer to avoid deception when possible, but as a new parent, I am much less likely to condemn any technique that works. -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 10:37 1
      - i was more thinking, kids need to learn how to cope on their own without leaning on a "pill" to make it all better. - kare Jul 7, 10:41
    - Eh, it doesn't hurt anything and it gets the boys back out and participating, instead of sitting in their tents sulking. The youngest are like 10. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:32 3
      - The *youngest* are 10?? Wow. Kids are dumb indeed. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 10:37
      - it's easy for a non-parent such as myself to judge such things. ;) in the overall scheme of things, probably not a big deal, eh. - kare Jul 7, 10:35 1
        
        *bitchslaps you* - loosilu Jul 7, 10:47
    - Yes. It means that kids will get used to placebo treatments, and won't respond to them as adults. -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 10:30 4
      - Damit, I hate when people build up an immunity to placebos! Then you have to start using stronger and stronger placebos to be effective. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:34 2
        
        I know. Our top candy minds should be working on developing sweeter and sweeter placebos. -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 10:40 1
        
        Pretty soon you've developed a whole group of super hypochondrias that are resistant to even the strongest placebos. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:45
      - [deleted]
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:29
  - Apparently, this is much more effective. Til you get one of those "smart kids"...and she had one. For him she simply said... - Jim Jul 7, 10:26 9
    - No, you are gonna give me the good stuff, or I blab. Some Watson 357s will do. -- nm - smart kid Jul 7, 10:29 1
      - See? That shit would have been funny. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:34
    - I'm pretty sure a lot of the kids "got it", but it destracted them enough for the wave to pass. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 10:28 4
      - And besides... candy!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 10:30 3
        
        Let's face it, there no way in hell Carrie can do this with a straight face. They know it's candy. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 10:31 2
        
        Actually, she's very convincing. Like I said above, this is usually the younger boys and 1st time campers. -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:33 1
        
        It's really so sweet. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 10:37
    - ... and then he grows ears and a tail. Hee-hawww -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:28
    - heh! -- nm - kare Jul 7, 10:27
  - This explains much. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 10:25
- homesickness pills? holy crap. -- nm - kare Jul 7, 10:23 1
  - 100% pharmaceutical-grade Obecalp :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 10:26
As far as romcoms go, at least there is a little edge and meanness to My Best Friend's Wedding -- nm - Dano Jul 7, 10:20
Polar bears have maternal Irish brown bear ancestors -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 10:18 1
- heh -- nm - Clifford Worley Jul 7, 10:20
Ohio State Rep arrested for DUI while hopped up on booze,Viagra and in the company of a stripper. Yes, he's another family values Republican -- (link) - TWuG Jul 7, 10:14 14
- republicans don't care unless the pol is a democrat or the stipper was a dude -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 10:16 12
  - Of course not. It's only hypocrisy if the other guy is doing it. - TWuG Jul 7, 10:20 11
    - And vice versa. I'm not clear why we need to hear about it every time a Republican state representative is arrested for something. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:24 7
      - It's the hypocrisy on the GOP side that makes it funny. The inability to practice what they preach. - TWuG Jul 7, 10:28 3
        
        I live like 50 miles from this guy and have never ever heard of him, why should anybody give a crap what he thinks in the first place? - Ender Jul 7, 10:39 2
        
        Becuase he votes to inflict his version of hyper-morality on those people in your state. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 10:45
        
        Because he was elected to public office and can enforce his beliefs on others. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 10:42
      - I prefer to hear about it whenever *any* politician gets arrested. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 10:28 1
        
        Really? You think any time an elected official is arrested anywhere it's newsworthy here? -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 10:32
      - I disagree. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 10:25
    - Yeah, Dems do get a free pass on this shit for the most part. All because, "we never claimed to be all family-like and stuff". -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:23 2
      - The behavior does call into question any "protecting the sanctity of marriage" arguments though. (the article says he is married) -- nm - Dano Jul 7, 10:26
      - It's just funnier when those preaching loudest are found to be sinning hardest. I don't like the sinning, but the hypocrisy makes it worse. -- nm - TWuG Jul 7, 10:26
- *the* ohio state rep -- nm - moles Jul 7, 10:15
Did we know there are still Hapsburgs? Well, there's one less. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 7, 10:10 6

        cameron diaz especially. julia roberts at least has something. cameron diaz truly is just nothingness....nm - x Jul 7, 10:12 3
        
        Guess I'm going to have to rename my title -- nm - Jean Paul Satre Jul 7, 10:14
        
        Julia can solve any problem by cackling loudly and charming those old curmudgeons! -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:13

You know what you can't do in a boot cast? Walk *down* stairs. I almost got trapped on 2. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 10:00 6
- my cool coworker is in one now. she sez the trick is to place the back of the foot towards the edge of the tread so your toes kinda hang over. - Diva Jul 7, 10:06 2
  - I went with sideways. But I was carrying a lean cuisine waitress style. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 10:07 1
    - of course you were... *shakes booty* -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 10:09
- alone or in pairs? -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 10:03
- This is where if your stairs aren't carpeted, you just sit down and scoot on your butt all the way down. Wheeeeeee! -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:01
- I am serious, you need a second boot. - Spawn Jul 7, 10:01
