  - He defined himself that way on Twitter, IIRC. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:44 1
    - This is when we use the phrase "self-described." If you don't you're name-calling/labelling. -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:48
- cute, the report writer thinks communists still exist -- nm - crash davis Oct 3, 12:43

double bonus prude q: "a friend" is preggers from a one-night stand. "friend" doesn't think the dude wants to be a dad, so she's not telling - moles Oct 3, 12:20 26

- eh. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 3, 12:39
- Keep working on the mom, The guy has the right to know -- nm - amoxy Oct 3, 12:37
- state law would probably require some form of child support, a little advanced warning would be polite -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 3, 12:35 3
  - if she's not planning to ever let him know, i doubt he's going on the birth certificate and i doubt she's going after him for $$. -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:37 2
    - I think telling him is just the decent thing, but it's her choice. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:42

  - this. the mother-to-be might also know some things about the dad-to-be that she's not sharing. maybe she's making this decision in the best interest - kare Oct 3, 12:26 8
    - That's not what the friend says. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:38 7

        Under any conditions: No. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:46
        
        to rephrase, If I was knocked up, and a FRIEND was the one to tell the guy, I'd be murderous pissed off. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:45 1
        
        Tough shit. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:47
- The father has a right to know. Your friend is a selfish, shortsighted fuck. Go with your instinct. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:23
- She should tell him... but do NOT tell him yourself. That is not your news to tell. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:23
- if its an acquaintance that sees her even occasionally, isn't he going to have a good shot at figuring it out? -- nm - TFox Oct 3, 12:23 2
  - maybe the friend is a huge whore -- nm - Beaker Oct 3, 12:24 1
    - the way they describe him, it seems they know the dude at least sort of well. -- nm - TFox Oct 3, 12:25

  - this -- nm - Beaker Oct 3, 12:23
On back boards, there were questions about Occupy Wall St purpose. A couple of website that may (or may not) help answer that. -- nm - ty97 Oct 3, 12:15 10
- there more than a few reasons, most can be boiled down to the power elite's "let them eat cake" attitude -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 3, 12:40
- think of it as "the red pill" in The Matrix - moles Oct 3, 12:22
- also, it's our arab spring. -- nm - things zeitgeist things, pg 22 Oct 3, 12:17 1

  - I remember listening to AM new radio in my Dad's car in the Caldor parking lot when Cuomo was announcing if her would run or not. -- nm - ty97 Oct 3, 12:18
  - NJ native. I will be very surprised if he runs. -- nm - Jovian Oct 3, 12:17
  - Agreed, but I wonder if he will endorse somebody -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:16
  - Me either. And very torn as to whether I want him to. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:13
  - i wish he would. - TFox Oct 3, 12:12 3
    - If he would continue being brash, tell-it-like-he-see-it Christie, I'd love him to run just to have a voice in the primaries that tells the others - ty97 Oct 3, 12:22
    - Christie, who has been "weighing" a bid, did not immediately return a call seeking comment - amoxy Oct 3, 12:14 1
      - If he "throws his weight behind" a candidate - con_carne Oct 3, 12:26
  - my thoughts (i watched a lot of US news last week)... he knows he won't win in 2012. The Republicans are so fractured. I bet he's holding on till - Andie Oct 3, 12:12 9
    - 2016. It will be between Christie, Rubio and Huntsman -- nm - amoxy Oct 3, 12:13 8
      - Assuming Obama wins in 2012, I'd be shocked if Palin isn't one of the Top 3 candidates in 16. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:18 6
        
        Four more years of people pointing and laughing at her isn't going to change anything. -- nm - David Oct 3, 12:31 4
        
        You think 4 more years of pointing & laughing are going to change her supporter's minds? - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:31 3
        
        I guess it all depends on how we define candidates. She's Bachmann 2 or 1A or Bachmann begins. That's not a serious candidate to me. -- nm - David Oct 3, 12:36
        
        She will never run. She enjoys what she is doing now - amoxy Oct 3, 12:36 1
        
        I think we found a new ST motto in your IM! -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:45
        
        I'd be shocked if she's relevant in 2016. Her celebrity time seems to be running out. - ty97 Oct 3, 12:19

  - I don't think so either. So much work to get ready for the 1st primary in 90 days or so. - Krusty Oct 3, 12:12
  - I don't think he will either -- nm - decline Oct 3, 12:11
  - I don't think he will. Then again, I didn't think Perry would either. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:11 2

      - Not until he announced, no. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 3, 12:16
Well, let's hope we never have occasion to use this skill, but just in case: how to escape from plastic zip-ties. -- (link) - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 3, 12:09 1 1
- yeah, they're not so strong as people think... -- nm - colin, 7 days Oct 3, 12:17
David, I got that Real Steel PR e-mail as well and I was left scratching my head for a minute... - Mop Oct 3, 12:09 1

Kare, do you have kids' consignment shops around there? Daughter lived close to one called "Once Upon a Child." I think most of the kids' clothes - MojaveMeg Oct 3, 12:08 21
- i do. i keep meaning to head to a couple to shop, but i'm desperately trying to force myself to put the brakes on buying until after my shower. - kare Oct 3, 12:11 19
  - I think this is smart ... you don't know which areas will be underrespresented. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:13
  - Are you looking for stuff, or just looking to offload? -- nm - Mop Oct 3, 12:12 17
    - i am primarily in acquisition mode. (and how.) -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:13 16

        Girly but not saccharine. And I think it will still look cute when she's 10. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:22
        
        i should know this, i know, but when are you actually due? -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 12:17 3
        
        official due date is January 20. - kare Oct 3, 12:19 2
        
        wow, that's sooner than i thought. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 12:23 1
        
        it's coming fast. and to that i say, "thank god." -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:27

        Dang! Wife tells me we've given away most of our newborn boy stuff. -- nm - Mop Oct 3, 12:25 3
        
        i'm having a girl, silly! - kare Oct 3, 12:28 2
        
        Well, that's different, then! -- nm - Mop Oct 3, 12:42 1
        
        (I knew that! My wife confused me.) -- nm - Mop Oct 3, 12:44
      - If I were you, my biggest temptation would be zulily. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:15 1
        
        i stocked up big-time during sample sales when i worked there. now, it's not much of a temptation because i can't get over the fact that - kare Oct 3, 12:17

Hmmm...well I guess I suck at etiquette then. We're having a birthday party for Carrie in a couple weeks and I pretty much demanded everyone bring - Jim Oct 3, 12:05 22
- honestly, i think these days it's more about what's accepted among your circle of friends. - kare Oct 3, 12:08 10
  - cat-butt-face - amoxy Oct 3, 12:12
  - I'm gonna pretend I'm your sister for a minute, here's my thought process... - Jim Oct 3, 12:10 1
    - oh, i know. she really is the best. -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:14
  - i think it's hard to know how some of this etiquette stuff translates to evite and FB event using people. - TFox Oct 3, 12:09 5
    - See, this is where I fall. Dammit...you KNOW I'm bringing a gift, do I have to beg you for the registry? -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:11 4
      - Truthfully, though, you can usually look up registries without a URL, even without knowing the stores. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:12 3
        
        If I'm really speaking truthfully, I don't care where anyone registers. I'm giving cash. nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:13 2
        
        Next year, I'm making it even simpler: If you want to drink, keg stand. -- nm - Jim SI Oct 3, 12:15
        
        there you go! but I would say most of the time I find registries on my own. There are a few central locations. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:14
  - i'm pretty rigid about those sorts of rules, but when i threw a baby shower a few years ago, i put the registry on the invitation. - Andie Oct 3, 12:09
- it's printing the registry on the invitation that's considered bad form (especially weddings, more so than showers really). - Andie Oct 3, 12:07 10
  - I agree on the wedding, but not on the baby shower. But I'm a dude. - Jim Oct 3, 12:08 8
    - for a shower, it's not so bad, IMO, since gifts are the whole point of a shower. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:10 2
      - Hm. I feel a good "etiquette for etiquette's sake is dumb" kind of grousing coming on. -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:28
      - That's my thinking. -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:10
    - you're such a sweet hubby. :) -- nm - kare Oct 3, 12:09
    - enh, that's amusing. not offensive. -- nm - Andie Oct 3, 12:09 3
      - I have to imagine that if I'm making a list of things that are tough for people to deal with, being offended at an invite is pretty low on the list -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:23 1
        
        *points to the Book of Girl Rules, vol 30* -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:44
      - Is it offensive if I mean it? :) -- nm - Jim Oct 3, 12:10
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Oct 3, 12:07

      - I will probably get that sometime next week -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:08 2
        
        no, probably not. (it was never made into a shirt.) -- nm - TFox Oct 3, 12:10 1
        
        No, I mean the joke :) -- nm - con_carne Oct 3, 12:15
