i guess i need to check craigslist to see what phone options i can find. - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:58 3
- I find ebay better for electronics. -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 12:58 2
  - I still can't believe we got a full Rock Band set for $50. -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:03
  - yeah i was gonna look there too. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 17, 13:01
Not at all a fair assessment, since the sample's probably way screwy, but a New York mag survey said that only about 39% of the OCWS crowd voted - TWuG Oct 17, 12:55 12
- To be clear, it 39% votes, 55% did not, 5% were not old enough to vote. -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 13:00 3
  - (spoiler) - znufrii Oct 17, 13:01 2
    - It totals 99 people, so yeah it pretty much is -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 13:02 1
      - is it a statistically meaningful sample size for the population, though? -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:04
- [Obama's] doing great: 1 - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 17, 13:00
- You mean the midterm election, right? -- nm - con_carnage Oct 17, 12:57
- eh, not all that surprising... - znufrii Oct 17, 12:56
- Which would be on par with the national average -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:56
- what was the national avg last election. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:55 3
  - Presidential was 61-63%, per wiki - BloodyAxeSean Oct 17, 12:58 1
    - This is talking about 2010 midterms where national turnout was 41-42% -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 13:02
  - 42%. -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 12:58
hmm, amazon finally let me know that they are shipping batman. not as exciting since i cant rub it in David's face. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:54 2
- I just know Amazon is going to hose me on this. -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 12:58 1
  - I would get out in front of the issue and email them tonight if you don't have a shipping notice yet. - David Oct 17, 13:00
i know you don't care, but, women on wedding site forums are judgey bitches a lot of the time. - Andie Oct 17, 12:52 17
- yeah i remember a foray into alt.wedding back in the day -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 12:59
- every time i venture onto other forums, i come away with a heightened appreciation for ST. :) (do you have a date/rough plan/anything?!) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 12:55 7
  - it's totally totally in flux. i thought we had a plan but already i'm hitting a 'maybe we should just go on vacation and come back married' type mind - Frankenstandie Oct 17, 12:59 5
    - do it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:05
    - Don't know if this helps...more than one friend seriously considered that but they realized that the wedding was really for their families. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:04
    - This is always my suggestion. Kim and I had a storybook wedding/vacation and only we know the details of it. - David Oct 17, 13:03
    - I hear you. -- nm - Diva Oct 17, 13:03
    - i can certainly understand that mindset. (very excited for you both; congrats again) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 13:00
  - On the other hand if someone here asks you if have a date, they're asking you out to your wedding. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Oct 17, 12:56
- "in which Andie chooses some juicy tidbits to C & P for ST's amusement" -- nm - con_carnage Oct 17, 12:54 7
  - if there is a limited distro wedding email list, I will go jovian on someone. -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 12:54 6
    - oh god no. but let's just say when i mentioned i'm looking for a red, silk, tea length dress with a crinoline - Frankenstandie Oct 17, 12:58 5
      - that sounds absolutely gorgeous. -- nm - kare Oct 17, 13:01 1
        
        i look crappy in white, i never wear white, i don't want white. there are people who act like this is a sin against humanity. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 13:04
      - They haven't seen your pics. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 12:59
      - *shows up in red* - Whitney Oct 17, 12:59 1
        
        heh -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 17, 12:59
Wow David, I can't believe that arrived already! - kelly Oct 17, 12:45 4
- HE ATE MY DONUTS!!! -- nm - David Oct 17, 12:51 3
  - Donut. Singular. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 12:56 2
    - Is Scanners technology available yet? Anyone know? -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:04
    - I wish they had given us that granola at the beginning of the meal. - kelly Oct 17, 13:03
Just realized Sunday owns my DVR. 7 shows recorded Sunday vs 6 the rest of the week - ceregon Oct 17, 12:45
with all my time at home and on the couch, i've probably seen every episode of Supernanny. you'd think i'd get tired of scaring the crap out of - kare Oct 17, 12:44 8
- the odds are, since you turned out ok, then you probably picked enough skills from your mentor/mom -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 12:52 1
  - sure, i turned out okay once i hit my mid-30s and went through 4 years of therapy ;) -- nm - kare Oct 17, 12:57
- just don't watch that one where everything goes wrong. birth stories? something like that? -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 12:45 4
  - oh, i think baby story? haven't seen that yet. but i've watched a lot of "i didn't know i was pregnant." - kare Oct 17, 12:46 3
    - I was hooked on that for a while. crazy! -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 12:47 2
      - note: In somecases I guess it made sense. in other cases, the women had to be the biggest idiots on earth. - loosilu Oct 17, 12:48 1
        
        i believe it's possible (every pregnancy's different, yada yada) but it is definitely hard to fathom. - kare Oct 17, 12:51
- You are getting jaded to it -- nm - amoxy Oct 17, 12:44
Today's score from the 'manager's special' bin. A 2lb package of deli ham for $1.99. Use by date of the 19th but it'll freeze just fine. - MojaveMeg Oct 17, 12:42 2
- hamsickles! nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 17, 12:42 1
  - hogpops. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 12:43
Herman Cain was just kidding about putting up a lethal electrified fence along the Mexican border. - znufrii Oct 17, 12:40 28
- until he is forced to get a bat-$hit crazy vp running mate to make certain groups happy. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:45
- He was so close to fixing unemployment. If only he would have proposed paying Americans to man the border with orders to shoot to kill. -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 12:43
- [deleted] 25
  - I don't think it could have gone better for Obama... - Mel Profit Oct 17, 12:44 13
    - Romney is still the biggest threat, by far, to Obama IMO -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:47 11
      - Yeah, the question is whether will people will look at his record as governor and his positions as candidate and see a flip flopper who can't be - pmb Oct 17, 12:53 2
        
        What's troubling is that it doesn't include looking at Congress. Romney will be no less conservative than whatever Congress puts on his desk to sign. -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 13:02
        
        yeah, the "run right for primaries then try to inch back to the middle for the general" - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:55
      - "I can't believe I'm losing to *that* guy." - Mitt SI Oct 17, 12:49 3
        
        But Romney is by far the most palatable GOP nominee to the middle. If people just want "someone else" there's nothing to scare them away from Romney - ty97 Oct 17, 12:51 1
        
        The best thing for Obama is an unexcited GOP base. - Mel Profit Oct 17, 12:58
        
        ...err... -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 17, 12:49
      - [deleted] 3
        
        It is early, man. Most candidates are still in it, and when they drop out, their voters will be up for grabs. - con_carnage Oct 17, 12:52
        
        I'm not taking anything for granted (nom-wise) until the voting starts. Perry is still Romney's biggest primary threat. - ty97 Oct 17, 12:49 1
        
        (cause frankly where else is the base going? Bachmann? Cain?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:50
    - No way do I count out Romney winning against Obama. The attention span of the average voter is Nov 1 through election day. -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 12:46
  - Romney 2012: Not Batshit Insane. -- nm - Mitt Romney Oct 17, 12:44 8
    - Romney 2012: I could fuck a midget on live TV and still be more electable than the rest of these fools -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:45 7
      - "Are you a Republican primary voter? Do you want me to? I'll gladly do it." -- nm - Mitt SI Oct 17, 12:47
      - relatedly, I love this magazine cover and may hang it in my cube for the next year. -- (link) - TFox Oct 17, 12:47 1
        
        [deleted]
      - well, there goes the LPA vote... - znufrii Oct 17, 12:46 3
        
        Maybe they should grow up -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:46
        
        *tosses a few of them* -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 12:46 1
        
        *kicks your ass* -- nm - Peter Dinklage Oct 17, 12:54
  - My mother lamented over the weekend how she doesn't like any of them and was hoping for someone else. - ty97 Oct 17, 12:43

- That last sentence goes for every quarterback in the league. - David Oct 17, 12:50 2
  - Sam Baker and Dunta are your 2 biggest problems right now. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 13:00 1
    - Baker has been hurt but he finally looked fluid again yesterday. Dunta's play has been mystifying. - David Oct 17, 13:02
- If he's regressed, it's not that much. #8 in ESPN's QBR through 6 weeks. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 12:43 16
  - [deleted] 8
    - Outside of that network has anyone seen that statistic cited anywhere else in mainstream media? I'm curious -- nm - prayformojo Oct 17, 12:48 7
      - I don't think so, but that makes sense even if it was a good metric. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 17, 12:53
      - Peter King has quoted it, but he has ties to the network. -- nm - David Oct 17, 12:51 5
        
        He does? - prayformojo Oct 17, 12:53 4
        
        He is in on PTI every week during the football season. -- nm - David Oct 17, 12:55
        
        I think he's on PTI semi-regularly. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 17, 12:55
        
        (as in, is there another one?) -- nm - prayformojo Oct 17, 12:54 1
        
        He's appeared on ESPN as a CNN/SI guy more often than Fred Hickman did. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 12:57
  - Let's stop using this bullshit rating. A) It's stupid B) it's ESPN creating news. -- nm - Mitt Romney Oct 17, 12:44 2
    - *gets my vote* -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 12:45 1
      - And f**k the BCS. I'll cut federal funding to any school who votes to keep this system instead of a true-blue playoff. -- nm - Mitt Romney Oct 17, 12:47
  - Because that stat tells you a *lot*. -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 12:44 3
    - I thought I remembered ST liking it more than the traditional rating? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 17, 12:45 2
      - Did someone roll a die near you to decide who would go get the pizza? - TFox Oct 17, 12:46
      - It's comedy value is a lot higher than the standard rating system. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 12:45
Kelly Clarkson: Still alive -- (link) - ty97 Oct 17, 12:36 [youtube] 4
- She already "leaked" another single too. "Stronger" -- (link) - MDH Oct 17, 12:41 [youtube] 2
  - She really needs to go full dance (a la Kylie) -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:52
  - along with "leaking" a fair amount of beef gravy from her pores. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 17, 12:42
- she had a pretty popular duo with a country singer this summer -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:37
Dammit, iPhones are sold out everywhere now. - David Oct 17, 12:35 15
- relatedly, I hope at least one of my cases comes this week. (I got china, spain, canada, and... one other.) -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 12:39 2
  - I ordered a 4voi case for my wife's. Came promptly, fit the iPhone 4S great *and* they even gave me a free case to give to a friend - kilbooooo Oct 17, 12:40 1
    - I use these cheesy ass ones. I *love* them. -- (link) - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 12:42
- "My sister said Walgreens has them." -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 17, 12:38
- I might not get my phone until the morning now. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 17, 12:35 10
  - My brother pre-ordered one and may not have it before the end of the week. - TFox Oct 17, 12:36 9
    - What on Earth will he tell the boys at the country club! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 17, 12:38 1
      - Also, fuck your brother! -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 12:40
    - Oh, I'm not getting an iPhone (I wish). Just some new android or something. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 17, 12:37 6
      - (This is why we had to wait on the iPhone. We weren't sure if we needed 1 or 2.) - David Oct 17, 12:38 3
        
        I bought the Bionic. should be shipping today. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 12:39 2
        
        Yeah, that's the deal that we have been considering. - David Oct 17, 12:40 1
        
        carrier first, phone second, for me. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 12:41
      - ohhhhh. but still... he mad. -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 12:37 1
        
        You can't even order the 16/32 GB ones online right now. -- nm - David Oct 17, 12:39

  - that might be my favorite too. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 17, 12:35
What I learned from B2: MDH is a tall or has hobbit friends -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 17, 12:30 19
- Also: he's nesting -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 12:32
- I accidentally posted before finishing. I'm just 6'1'' but was the tallest at the house somehow, so it was their perspective. -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 12:31
