I can't believe Sasha Baron Cohen's joke about Guy Ritchie is getting panned from last night. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:33 19
- The GG strikes me more as a Guy Ritchie crowd than a Madonna crowd. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 09:38
- I laughed very hard at it. Poor guy ritchie :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:35
- What was the one before that? IIRC, I said/posted "Ouch". -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:35 6
  - There was also Posh hasn't eaten in 3 weeks, and Charlie Sheen has been forced to have sex without paying for it. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 09:45
  - I don't recall, but I thought his short riffs were fantastic. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:36 4
    - Oh, he was funny, just was a good reminder that we were not watching the Oscars. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:37
    - the plastic surgery joke was hackeriffic, but everything else hit. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:37 2
      - I'm blanking on the surgery joke. crap. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:38 1
        
        He introduced Pitt as Benjamin Button, the guy whose face gets younger as he gets older, like most people in the room. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 09:44
- maybe because he's a succesfful drector and Madonna is a failed movie actress? -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:34 5
  - it's a slam on Maddona's self-absorbedness rather than on Ritchie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:37 4
    - word -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:38
    - I took it as a Ritchie slam. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:38 2
      - the joke is that she has assistants rather than husbands. - Reagen Jan 12, 09:40
      - ps. I laughed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:38
- I missed that. What was the joke? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:34 3
  - paraphrasing: because of economic hardship, Maddona even had to let go of one of her personal assistants. Our hearts go out to you, Guy Ritchie. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:36
  - (spoils) - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:36 1
    - heh -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:36
I remember staying at a girlfriend's parents' house overnight. I slept in the spare bedroom. Girlfriend crawled into bed with me in the middle - CrankYanker Jan 12, 09:30 7
- That is cute but I don't think that is the issue here. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:33 2
  - True, but does ANYONE not make noise during sex and bang the wall? To me, that would be more damaging to children. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 12, 09:36 1
    - they're just wrestling! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 09:37
- Some people get turned on by the possibility of getting caught -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:31
- But the fact that's it's forbidden makes it so much better -- nm - Guigue Jan 12, 09:31 2
  - Yes, but you can do that in other places, not with relatives or friends. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 12, 09:32
  - ^example^ -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:32
so that's jax's and mop's houses I can't stay at. anyone else have any crazy rules? -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 09:26 11
- I'd just like to say that "cocaine" includes crack and speedballs for me. and no heroin, either. I don't mean to be a prude... -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:31 2
  - Where will Drew Barrymore stay when she's in town? -- nm - Max Jan 12, 09:42
  - acid okay? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:32
- Absolutely ritual animal sacrifices. I stand firm on that. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:28 5
  - Hmmm, "no rituatl animal sacrices." I should probalby be clear about that. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:30 4
    - Tease. *tmopes then takes away the cup full of goat's blood* -- nm - Moose's santeriac friends Jan 12, 09:36
    - nuts. I had the bullock ready and everything. -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 09:33
    - Too late, a donation has already been made to the Kill a Heifer Project in your name. -- nm - Max Jan 12, 09:31
    - Too late. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:31
- Are you quiet when you get your wild thing on? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:26 1
  - I'm not sure what answer you're looking for here. - mafic Jan 12, 09:32
Vincent Lecavalier potentially on the trading block -- (link) - Beaker Jan 12, 09:25
I went down to the cafeteria to buy lunch, and decided to make a monster salad. - kelly Jan 12, 09:23 17
- I find it doubtful that the entire serving would weight 45g. 2 tablespoons is only 28.3 g -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 09:32
- they making that dressing with pork lard? -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:25 1
  - One serving of pork fat isn't 45g of fat. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:29
- Let's see, my jar of Jif PB says 16g of fat per 2 Tbsp - con_carne Jan 12, 09:25 5
  - I know I love my peanut butter salad dressing. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:31 1
    - No idea why I made this connection :-) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:33
  - 2 tablespoons is 28.3 grams, so yes it's totally outlandish. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:27 2
    - Well, now my ? is what is the dressing's serving size -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:29 1
      - normally 2 tbsp. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:29
- I don't use salad dressing. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:25 3
  - Not even good old oil & vinegar? :-) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:26 1
    - IPJRTD! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:27
  - Surprising. -- nm - kelly Jan 12, 09:25
- for balsamic? must be a typo. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:24
- it sounds right. ALOT of fat in some dressings -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 09:23 1
  - I doubt that a serving is even 45 g of dressing. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:24
- Maybe it was 4.5g? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 09:23
You didn't hear this from me but... - LMS Jan 12, 09:20 9
- Did I read it right, that Crowe's playing both Robin and the Sheriff? - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:23 1
  - (spoiler) - Roger More Jan 12, 09:25
- Didn't Delisted already say something about this? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:22 5
  - Most likely. I'm struggling to think who they could recast who wouldn't make him look fat in comparison. -- nm - LMS Jan 12, 09:24 4
    - Katherine Heigl -- nm - Max Jan 12, 09:30
    - Roseanne Barr -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 09:26
    - Nikki Blonsky? -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:25
    - Kathy Bates? -- nm - nubby Jan 12, 09:25
- *Nice.* -- nm - nubby Jan 12, 09:22
What was holding back the Asus 1000H from being the "Best Netbook on the Market" was the undersized keyboard. Introducing the Asus 1000HE. -- (link) - Mop Jan 12, 09:18
The Rickey Henderson/John Olerud story is just classic -- (link) - Beaker Jan 12, 09:16 2
- Hilarious, but both Henderson *and* Olerud say that never happened. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:18 1
  - Hence the word "apocryphal". -- nm - nubby Jan 12, 09:18
Dammit, I should have done that when my unmarried friends came and stayed at the house. Woulda been hilarious. - musubi Jan 12, 09:16 29
- To me, the only issue here is that she didn't tell her guests what she expected. Bottom line... - Jim Jan 12, 09:24 8
  - I think 99% of the people agree with that. Yes, even on TT. - musubi Jan 12, 09:25 7
    - Do we know how many nights? I mean, sleeping on a floor for one night is nothing unless you are elderly. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:30 5
      - a week. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:30 4
        
        Wow. How far away did they come from? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:34 1
        
        Wisconsin to Massachusetts. I wouldn't stay for a week either. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:35
        
        In that case, I'd either bring my own mattress or not come. - Jim Jan 12, 09:31 1
        
        I actually like a firm mattress, so I have no problem with the floor, if there's enough carpeting/padding or a comforter. - musubi Jan 12, 09:33
    - Yep. And the floor is pretty harsh, but it is what it is. Stay in a hotel or stay home. -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 09:26
- the best part was, she assumed they'd *know* they should do that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:16 19
  - I know my grandma did it, but she set up an extra matress/sheets, so that the expectation was very explicit. - musubi Jan 12, 09:20
  - oh, when you say on the floor, does your sister have an air mattress or anything like that? - Roger More Jan 12, 09:20 5
    - nope. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:21 4
      - who would you say is the most normal member of your family? -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 09:22 3
        
        my older brother. The normalcy (of the kids) decreases with decreasing age. - loosilu Jan 12, 09:23 2
        
        I though he was the priest? (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:24 1
        
        no, he's the youngest. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:25
  - I wouldn't assume I was sleeping in the same bed as Spawn in a crowded house. I'd just jockey for what's most comfy for me. - Amy Jan 12, 09:19 4
    - I wouldn't assume that we're sleeping together, but I damn sure wouldn't assume the floor is the expected location when room exists elsewhere. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:20 3
      - My mother was worried that there might be a problem re: sleeping arrangements for us when we were down last month. - kelly Jan 12, 09:28
      - there's a pull out couch. the host puts the two of you in that room. and you go on the floor? yeahright. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:21 1
        
        Yeah, this is my main issue too. Expecting someone to sleep on the floor when half a foldout couch is available isn't right - Roger More Jan 12, 09:24
  - that's what I find baffling. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:18 6
    - she is really unclear on what is normal to other people, vs herself. - loosilu Jan 12, 09:19 5
      - Her asking you what is normal makes me laugh. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:28 2
        
        that should give you an idea how effed up she is. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:28 1
        
        25 Spawn Points -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:30
      - I'm just getting to this discussion, so pardon me if the point's been made, but it seems a cultural thing. - nubby Jan 12, 09:23
      - ah, make much more sense now. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:20
here is a poll: what are your house rules? - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:15 26
- no cigarettes, no prostitutes. that's about it. -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 09:35
- no illegal drugs of any kind. you make a mess, you clean it up. Finish off the Diet Coke and die. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:33
- No smoking in the house. I have a dog: he's blind and high strung....don't like it? Leave. And finally...grab the last Pibb and I collect - Jim Jan 12, 09:26
- Sex with the host is considered polite. -- nm - nubby Jan 12, 09:26
- No smoking. Be nice to the cats. that's about it. -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 09:25
- No pooping on the floor. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 09:23
- No shirt, no shoes, no waiting. -- nm - emotichanic Jan 12, 09:23
- I don't think we really have any. - JaxSean Jan 12, 09:20 1
  - I guess No Smoking (inside) would be a rule. Also, no drug use in the house. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 09:23
- No smoking. Other than that, we have no rules. -- nm - TWuG Jan 12, 09:19
- No smoking. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:19
- No smoking tobacco or crack. On second thought, no smoking tobacco. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:18
- We don't have a guest room so enjoy the floor. And, no noise after 8:30. -- nm - Amy Jan 12, 09:18 5
  - No smoking. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:22
  - but I can bring a date, right? -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:18 3
    - As long as he is quiet. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:23 2
      - Or she. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:23 1
        
        I'd make a noise exception if it was mandy and a she. -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 09:28
- Do what I say, when I say it, or no yogurt for desert. - musubi Jan 12, 09:17
- no smoking -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 09:17
- try not to break anything is about it -- nm - decline Jan 12, 09:16
- no smoking anything inside the apartment. the roof is one flight up if you need it. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:16 2
  - and those who are late do not get fruit cup. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:17
  - ah, good point. no smoking inside (although the garage was fine - when I had one) -- nm - decline Jan 12, 09:17
- Take shoes off. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:16
- I dunno, I never really thought about it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:16
Getting the orgy achievement in Fable 2 was great, -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 09:11 4
- You could have saved this for hump day, you know -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:15
- neechay -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:15 2
  - I was married at the time too :) Haha. -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 09:16 1
    - I just finished off the gargoyles, going for the keys next - znufrii Jan 12, 09:23
I tihnk first and foremost, the host needs to make her expectations clear from the beginning and not gripe about it afterwards instead. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 09:09 5
- [deleted]
- yeah, can we chill about that part? She was surprised at the situatino, didn't make a scene, and wishes to be up front next year. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:10 3
  - fair enough. - znufrii Jan 12, 09:12
  - I'd send a note now. get it out of the way, give them time to get hitched. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:12 1

I hope none of you people ever stay at my mom's. Her rules for showering and toilet flushing alone would cause you all to bitch for seven boards. -- nm - Amy Jan 12, 09:08 8
- Oh hell, my mother's rules for the kitchen would make anyone crazy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:13
- [deleted] 6
  - Oh god, it's like if you shower and flush the toilet in a certain order than the toilet overflows--and, there's one bathroom where something else - Amy Jan 12, 09:12 4
    - I think that was possibly one of the most horrifying moments of my life. - mafic Jan 12, 09:19 1
      - you accidentally the discovered -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:39
    - ... uh, sounds like it's time to call a plumber, at that point. - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:15 1
      - time for Motel 6, for me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:18
  - I prefer baths -- nm - Spawn si Jan 12, 09:10
I'm headed to the neurologist....This better be about me developing a super power. Good thoughts please, I'll post info with my iphone, when I know. -- nm - ceregon Jan 12, 09:08 4
- /good vibes -- nm - emotichanic Jan 12, 09:25
- Hope all is well in your cranium, bro -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:17
- I hope it goes well and the tech just wants to show you goofy-crazy-accurate body pics or something. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:17
- Good luck. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 09:09
I'm totally staying with amy and spawn, and they can totally stay with me. (see also: decline. he has the bonus of lots of booze.) -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:08 4
- and people keep giving me more! -- nm - decline Jan 12, 09:15

If you're a guest in my house, I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask you not to sleep in the nude. - JaxSean Jan 12, 09:05 1
- I think you're safe. -- nm - Jen si #7 Jan 12, 09:05
