What was ST's opinion on the "J. Edgar" trailer? - MDH Sep 20, 08:46 1
- have not seen it -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:49
This is a lead picture -- (link) - ty97 Sep 20, 08:40 11
- it looks very gloucester to me somehow. I hate that kind of siding. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:49
- Love the outside, not sure how I feel about the food trim inside -- (link) - ty97 Sep 20, 08:45 4
  - what is food trim? is it the ruffles? because those scare me. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:48
  - In hindsight, I love food trim. But wood trim is more iffy. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:46 2
    - love the wainscoting in the bathroom, less enthused about it in the kitchen -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 08:48 1
      - I have been through the photos 4 times and can't find the bathroom. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:50
- the interior is nice too. It's neutral but not at all terrified. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:42
- "Shabby Chic" and "Mint Condition" should not really be in the same sentence, I don't think... - znufrii Sep 20, 08:42 3
  - The finest of lines! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:45
  - just remember that "shabby chic" doesn't mean "old". -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:43
  - "hipster mint" -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:42
Jackman loved being at Raw last night, he was a huge fan back in the day...Lawler got legit injured - Remlik Sep 20, 08:35 6
- question - tRuMaN Sep 20, 08:45 1
  - no. I suspect.... - Remlik Sep 20, 08:47
- there's just so many reasons to love Hugh. He's just a walking font of Joy. -- nm - Diva Sep 20, 08:38 1
  - it was fun watching him cause he knew where every handheld camera was... - Remlik Sep 20, 08:45
- wait, the muppets? -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:38 1
  - on Halloween. yep -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 08:44
hey, do you guys want to know hoe my first day of real work was at my part-time job? - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:34 5
- Is this on top of your current job at state? -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:38 1
  - oui. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:48
- I think we can guess. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:37
- hoe? why yes, my skirt was a bit too short. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:35 1
  - naughty, naughty. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 20, 08:35
Don't Ask, Don't Tell. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:26 19
- I can't believe it was only around for 18 years. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:27 18
  - Is it okay for them to ask about it now, or would that be frowned upon as none of their business? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 20, 08:35 2
    - "I've always wondered about you, because you seemed mad faggy, but wasn't allowed to ask, soooo... how bout it? Queer, right?" - TFox Sep 20, 08:38
    - I would guess general social norms apply now. To that extent, I don't think it's appropriate to ask in the workplace. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:37
  - It's misleading because there's really only been gays for 25-30 years. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:28 14
    - Yeah...I remember when gays first started. Weird times man, weird times. -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 08:28 13
      - It was Culture Club that was the catalyst right? -- nm - bc/nc Sep 20, 08:32 2
        
        It was crack. That's literally why they called it crack. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:35
        
        Nah, that set gays back at least a decade. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:34
      - Friggin evolution. -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:31 9
        
        well if the straights would just stop having gay babies!! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:36
        
        No one ever has that Darwin fish on their car having buttsex with another Darwin fish. - TFox Sep 20, 08:32 7
        
        If this exists, I might buy a car just to put it on. - ty97 Sep 20, 08:38 6
        
        I think the lcosest you can get is Andy (Android) assaulting an Apple. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:40
        
        Of course it exists, ty. Why do you think the fish grew the feet? - TFox Sep 20, 08:40 4
        
        I've seen enough double-leg amputee gay porn to know this is false. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:42 3
        
        My favorite is midgit double-leg, double-arm amputee straight sex. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 20, 08:44 1
        
        It's like two pogo sticks bouncing around trying to connect. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:45
        
        You.... have? -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:42
You know; Highlander the series was pretty damn good -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:22 13
- once we got out of Season 1 it was excellent. Season 6 had it's problems (Paul wanted to leave & they were trying to launch a new series) but it had - Remlik Sep 20, 08:33 3
  - That is the best one. It was one of my first Amazon Video purchases. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 08:49
  - I even liked the movie spun off from the series -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:34 1
    - yeah except A. There was no story need to kill off Connor. None. B. The new chick was stupid, should have been Amanda. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 08:36
- I agree, I quite liked it. Especially Methos. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 20, 08:33 7
  - Methos was awesome, Grayson was cool (shame he died). Loved Kalas as a bad guy. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 08:34 1
    - Roger Daltrey blew me away on that show. I never expected him to be so entertaining in that role. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 08:50
  - Methos was one of the best characters. -- nm - Capstern (33 Days) Sep 20, 08:33 4
    - The Four Horsemen were a pretty bad ass group of villains -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:36 2
      - "Do you know which one I was? I was Death." -- nm - Beryllium Sep 20, 08:39 1
        
        you have to work hard to screw up a group called the Four Horsemen. Highlander, wrestling, Marvel comics all did it right -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:43
    - The Freshmaker! Loved him. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:34
- I really liked it a lot. Was pretty good. -- nm - Capstern (33 Days) Sep 20, 08:33
Speaking of colors, my roommate pointed out yesterday that my living areas is decorated in fall colors - ty97 Sep 20, 08:21 1
- they're earth tones. but I would like to point out that you were considering a fall foliage thing in the bathroom. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:23
LYC: Troy Davis denied clemency. (I don't know if this is a national story, but it's huge here in GA) -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 20, 08:20 2
- I don't know too much about this, but the idea of an innocent person being executed is really disturbing. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 20, 08:43
- Interesting tidbit in there about the Governor's lack of authority to stop it. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 20, 08:35
That was a nice surprise on HIMYM last night. (spoils) - bc/nc Sep 20, 08:18 4
- spoil me on why they - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:19 3
  - Spoil - bc/nc Sep 20, 08:20 2
    - *spoils* - Ender Sep 20, 08:25 1
      - I forgot about that but it rings a bell. Hope they address it -- nm - bc/nc Sep 20, 08:31
REB2: I've seen realtors put pictures of trains and local parks in listing pictures before - ty97 Sep 20, 08:15 2
- it's part of 'where you live'. why not throw them in? -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 08:16 1
  - I understand the reasoning, but don't find it useful. Is that train next door? A mile away? Is the park three towns over? - ty97 Sep 20, 08:19
LYC: here's another one we're looking at... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 20, 08:10 46
- Playing off of the below: Why Consoshocken? Transit options? Neighborhood feel? Good schools? -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:26 1
  - easy access to the city, great feel to the neighborhood, very walkable, convenient transit, close highway access - znufrii Sep 20, 08:28
- I actually really like this one. it looks like it has really nice flow. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:21 6
  - It has a ton of spaces, though I wish a couple of them were more opened up. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:22 5
    - yeah, I'm not sure I like the stairs breaking up the first floor the way the do. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 08:23 4
      - I love that. I am so pro-separate space but also like nice flow, so it's kind of a best of both worlds thing to me. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:28
      - My only concern is that it could make things feel closed and cramp. - ty97 Sep 20, 08:25 2
        
        this was the problem with one of the newer places we saw this weekend. had everything we wanted, but overall, each room was just a little too small. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 08:26 1
        
        (this place is about 600sf larger) -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 08:32
- *That* is the photo they lead with? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:17 3
  - this -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:28
  - Right? They should have gone with the exterior picture, it's got good curb appeal. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:19 1
    - Yeah, I see that first and I don't even click onto the next figuring it is a dump outside. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:25
- Going to open houses is fun. I wonder if I'm free Saturday afternoon? -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:15
- I know it's right in Philly's armpit, but isn't that a lot of duckets to pay for a duplex these days? - TFox Sep 20, 08:14
- do you want to live in a town you can't pronounce? - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:13 9
  - Ha! I work in a town where no one says the name correctly. -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:25
  - they're terrified of style as well as color. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:20
  - Fortunately the light fixtures and paint colors are easy, cheap fixes -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:17 1
    - yes indeed -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:18
  - i wonder if there is a towned name Unicorn that znu should be looking for homes in. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 20, 08:15 2
    - could be worse, we could be playing "Philly Suburb, or Middle-Earth"? - znufrii Sep 20, 08:16
    - oh znu, there is a Unicorn, Pa according to mapquest. you should start looking. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 20, 08:16
  - :P - znufrii Sep 20, 08:13 1
    - I kind of like that. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:14
- they are TERRIFIED of color. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:11 19
  - This can be useful to a buyer, as it can be easier to paint over white. (What are the odds you are going to want the old owner's colors, you know?) -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:20 13
    - Yes, some wall colors can turn off potential buyers. Some people just can't see past the cosmetics. -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:24 9
      - Very true. I may have to re-pain my bedroom before I sell. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:27 2
        
        most likely. but I love it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:31
        
        Oil primer and a coat of white laytex. I don't care what anyone says laytex primer is shit. -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:30
      - yup - znufrii Sep 20, 08:25 5
        
        I know! they sound ridiculous! -- nm - Diva Sep 20, 08:37
        
        omg... ME TOO! They are so stupid. They have a great deal in front of them but they can't get past the 70's paint job. SO STUPID! -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:28 2
        
        this stupidity is the main obstacle for renters trying to become buyers. - TFox Sep 20, 08:29 1
        
        L2 -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:32
        
        Yep, I want to yell at the TV. But it's a great lesson for sellers, because buyers almost always comment on it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 08:28
    - oh, I'm not looking at it as a buyer. I'm being a voyeur. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:23 2
      - It's designed to sell, not be viewed for style. Style is personal and you really close off potential buyers if you stray from more neutral decor. It - pmb Sep 20, 08:36 1
        
        unless they refurnished their entire house, I can see their style. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:39
  - What's wrong with that? ;P -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 08:14 1
    - nothing, as long as you want to live in an engineering firm. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:19
  - we'd definitely do somethign about that. - znufrii Sep 20, 08:13 2
    - hee to the IM - this one can be dressed up by just changing fixtures, putting color on the walls and small bathroom remodeling -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:13 1
      - and the good thing about our current situation, is that we can decide what we want to get done before we move all of our stuff in. - znufrii Sep 20, 08:19
- we do care - ST seems to like looking at houses - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:11
People are more likely to reveal they are overweight than divulge their political stripes on online dating sites, according to a new study..(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Sep 20, 08:07 5
- I won't put anything about politics or religion on FB. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:08 4
  - FB is pretty much the opposite of a dating site, though -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 08:51
  - I'll throw some Daily Show clips on there but like you I tend to refrain because there is no winning. But with NCs marriage amendment vote coming up - bc/nc Sep 20, 08:13
  - (in terms of affiliation. people can deduce what they want) -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 08:08 1
    - Libertarian Pastafarian! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 20, 08:09
[deleted] 5
- what rate are you getting? -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 08:29
- *looks at your FFL record* - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:09
- depends on the rate and the trade -- nm - Beaker Sep 20, 08:09 2
  - He got Tim Hightower at 3.7% -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:09 1
    - L3! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 08:10
DISH DVR cut off the last 5 min of the Sheen Roast. I called them ranting. They are now going to upgrade me to an HD DVR (previously $100 charge) - CrankYanker Sep 20, 08:07 2
- DirecTV called me yesterday, wanting to upgrade my *obsolete* package for *only* $5 more per month. I hung up on them. - MojaveMeg Sep 20, 08:29
- My videocard crapped the bed in my MacPro. This was the replacement of the stock one. - lileve Sep 20, 08:13
Curt Schilling says that Tampa is going to win the wild card. -- (link) - TFox Sep 20, 08:01 16
- I wonder if he thinks the Cardinals can catch the Braves. -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 08:17 8
  - It's eerie how similar those two situations are. Front runners for the WC are *reeling*. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:18 7
    - Yup. Not sure how it is in the AL, but the schedule is set up perfectly for the Cardinals. - Jim Sep 20, 08:20 6
      - It's sort of opposite in the AL. Sox get O's 5 times and Yankees 3. Tampa has Yankees *7* times (4 in NY) and Toronto 3. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:22 5
        
        Ouch. We have the Mets, Cubs and Astros. Atlanta has Florida, Washington and Philly. - Jim Sep 20, 08:23
        
        (of course, the last few New York will likely be resting people, so it's a little misleading.) -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:23 3
        
        Magic number is 5. :-) - Krusty Sep 20, 08:26 1
        
        Just start resting guys this weekend. Where's the harm? Everyone likes having the weekend off better anyway. - TFox Sep 20, 08:27
        
        Same for Atlanta's season ending series with Philly. -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 08:24
- I wish Schilling would go away but I'm afraid we're stuck with him doing games for the next 20 years. - Krusty Sep 20, 08:04 5
  - The reality is, if the Sox go 5-3 to close the season, and Tampa goes 7-3, the Sox are in. - TFox Sep 20, 08:06 4
    - Sox will not go .500. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 08:19 1
      - Beckett, Lester, and Bedard are all starting twice over their last 8 games. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 08:20
    - I can't believe some of the pitchers the Sox have used lately. - Krusty Sep 20, 08:15 1
      - I know people are hurt, but they can't throw Wake out there again. They just can't. - TFox Sep 20, 08:16
- I hope so. -- nm - Todd Manning Sep 20, 08:04
Word. -- nm - Jim Sep 20, 07:59
