        what's the difference? -- nm - sycor Oct 12, 11:56 2
        
        Pissed in England means drunk -- nm - amoxy Oct 12, 11:57 1
        
        ah. I've heard that before, just forgot. -- nm - sycor Oct 12, 11:59

    - Did she walk the Camino de Santiago? That's at least still within her line of work -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 12, 12:00 1
      - Yes, I think so. -- nm - Diva Oct 12, 12:01
    - Hah. -- nm - con_carne Oct 12, 12:00

  - this was my answer -- nm - moles Oct 12, 11:44
- are you an investment banker, an academic, or a burger flipper? -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 11:40

- [deleted]
- depends on your job and your office. official answer: maybe. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 11:38

        State and Main was the only one I could stand her in. She's just a bad actress. -- nm - mara Oct 12, 11:29
