Speaking of plagiarism, did we know Bob Dylan was caught copying paintings from other people's photos? -- (link) - loosibery Oct 20, 11:45 2
- You'd never catch Kinkade copying other people's work! -- nm - Stephen Oct 20, 11:49 1
  - heh. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:50

- Our usual neighbors are all going different directions this year so we'll probably do a restaurant -- nm - ghost-berry Oct 20, 11:53
- Maybe dinner at my MIL's. We never celebrate it (on time, anyway) with my parents, as there's a big college bball tournament up here all that week. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 20, 11:53 3
  - You have enough colleges for a tournament -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:56 2

- Weekend before heading to RI to see the gf's family. Turkey day is still up in the air though -- nm - decline Oct 20, 11:47 3
  - nothing makes turkey taste sweeter than a weekend of gaggers and stuffies right beforehand. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:48 2
    - I never know if you're talking about food, or some sick fetish. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:51 1
      - Maybe both! *readies turkey leg, shaped like a baseball bat* -- nm - Satan si Oct 20, 11:53
- I think we were going to try to reclaim it from my mother, but I'm not sure that ever happened. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:47 5
  - does shefox do all the cooking and whatnot? -- nm - poxie Oct 20, 11:49 3
    - she did last year, but we sort of botched the invite process and ruffled some feathers. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:56 2
      - I sorta remember you mentioning the huge meal she prepared and how it exhausted her iirc -- nm - JenBery Oct 20, 12:03

- Interesting link, thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 11:57
Poll lir: I dont think I am going home for Christmas this year, and I am really bummed about it. - kelly Oct 20, 11:38 13
- I missed one Xmas with the fam when I was living in VA. It was not as traumatic as I'd feared. - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 20, 11:54 1
  - Seeing as how I'm probably not making out home for thanksgiving either... :) -- nm - kelly Oct 20, 12:00
- I'm going to Kentucky for both (which is sort of going home, I guess, but better). I hope you find a make to make yours special. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:43
- i dont know what I am doing for xmas or thanksfooding. i maybe at home by myself for both. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:41 2
  - have a thanksgiving orphans dinner at your place. other people who aren't going anywhere. even people you barely know (make sure you have at least 4 - Andie - Happy Birthday Bery! Oct 20, 11:43 1

Not the Onion: MC Hammer is launching a search engine -- (link) - MDH Oct 20, 11:32 10
- all links lead to porn sites - ghost-berry Oct 20, 11:54
- [deleted]
- "Can't Search This" -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:43
- Hammer as a computer programming nerd feels like Futurama where the Globetrotters are amongst the smartest individuals in the galaxy. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 20, 11:39 1
  - "You're *that* Bubblegum Tate?" -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 11:41
- I'm sure he'll have a better search engine then those 'established tools' cause lets face it, he's an established tool - zeitgeist Oct 20, 11:39
- ~ We search how we wanna search, find what we wanna find, link what we wanna link, results will blow your mind... ~ - TFox Oct 20, 11:34 1
  - WIN. -- nm - MDH Oct 20, 11:35
- This is just a variation of a better search engine idea Rick James had. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 11:33
- "...with one big button labelled 'What Time Is It?' But it always gives the same result." -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 20, 11:33

Conan had Chef Jose Andres (multiple DC, Vegas, etc restaurnats) on the other night, in the weirdest cooking segment I have ever seen. -- (link) - MDH Oct 20, 11:23 5
- Jose's paella restaurant Jaelo in the Cosmopolitan is fantastic -- nm - peglegpete Oct 20, 11:24 4
  - Agreed. Jaleo was his starter in DC and his other restaurants are in a completely different league. -- nm - MDH Oct 20, 11:25 3
    - I like Jaleo. yum. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:41
    - I go by his Bazaar on La Cienega a lot on my walks. It seems pretty hot. It's totally beautiful people land. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 20, 11:28 1
      - Minibar is booked months in advance here. 2 Seatings of 6 people a night. -- nm - MDH Oct 20, 11:35
So, David came up with a pretty darned good idea for HWDYK, and I want to see if you guys have any thoguhts about it - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:22 22
- Maybe for the timed version make it a contest and whoever goes the longest with right answers every month gets a small prize - Evil Beaker Oct 20, 11:37
- oh. my. god. (roadtrip fun!!) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 20, 11:30
- I think this is a great idea, although I would keep an eye out for quiz questions that have particularly insular logic where they wouldn't work in - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:26 14
  - why not just have a skip button? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:28 7
    - isn't guessing wrong basically a skip button? -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:29 1
      - not when you're playing for statistical superiority. It's like losses versus OT losses versus shootout losses. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:29
    - a skip button that shows an ad and then lets the user skip? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:29 4
      - ha. "Dumbass. Since you didn't know, watch this ad. We promise the next question will cater to your limited skill level." -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:29 3
        
        And ad and a small useless factoid. - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:32
        
        "The last person who skipped that question became a President of the USA" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:30 1
        
        "Really? Really. OK, if you'd like to bail out now, click here to watch bright colors gently swirl in a circle. Otherwise, I guess you can continue." -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:32
  - or at least add a way for users to flag questions that don't make sense out of context. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:27 5
    - exactly right....we've added this to our notes -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:30 3
      - also: are you going to make me watch 2 Broke Girls all season to finish that quiz? - TFox Oct 20, 11:31 2
        
        i can take over 2BG if you want...just let me know at what point you want to bail - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:36 1
        
        i'll give it another week or so, and i'll definitely try to make questions for the season to date. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 11:38
    - Yeah. Also, since some of the quiz questions sort of play off of previous questions in the same quiz ... - Beryllium Oct 20, 11:28
- I like the idea of the quizzes by group/genre. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 11:25
- Facebook has some quizzes like that - I'm thinking of the Futurama and Simpsons groups. They can be fiendishly addictive -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 20, 11:23 2
  - I remember The Neverending Movie Quiz on Flixter on FB, back when Flixter was more of a thing. That was fun. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 20, 11:33
  - Yeah, your James Bond/Arrested Development tests popped into my head, as we have complete sets for that. -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:25
- obviously david hates the world, so it sounds like a decent idea -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:23
learned on b2: It's possible to survive with no sneakers? -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:21 6
- haven't worn sneakers in ages, hardly ever wear shoes with laces anymore, I'm all about driving mocs -- nm - ghost-berry Oct 20, 11:41
- What was learned? -- nm - berymarabday! Oct 20, 11:31
- sure. Other than working out I never wear them -- nm - decline Oct 20, 11:29 1
  - working out is essential! :) -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:42
- we call Columbia-style hikers sneakers? If not, then I do, since that's what I wear about 99% of the time. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 11:23 1
  - I think they count. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:23
is anyone on Linkedin, or have experience with them? are they helpful? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 20, 11:19 8
- I just joined on the recommendation of a friend. haven't done much in the way of networking on there yet. - znufrii Oct 20, 11:21
- It depends a lot on how much your job relies on professional networking. -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 20, 11:21 1
  - I got several good leads when I was job hunting. They were some of the only companies that called me back. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:22
- Yes. Not really, I guess if you were looking for a job it would be another resource. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 11:20
- I found a user group for the Accounting software my company uses - amoxy Oct 20, 11:20
- yes and N/A - Mel Profit Oct 20, 11:20
- yes, yes. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:19
- Yes. Not really. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 20, 11:19
HWDYK: Big Bang Theory Season 4. Take the quiz smarty pants. -- (link) - Krusty Oct 20, 11:18 2
- heh, I was going to post this as a follow-up to my note above. [I only got 18 right. I'm such a Wolowitz] -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 11:23 1
  - I have no patience. :-) - Krusty Oct 20, 11:24
Nmh Kare - I didn't know you were due in December - yay - is it early or late? Ie. Sagittarius or Capricorn? -- nm - JenBery Oct 20, 11:15
Is that Tiki Barber's music I hear? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 11:12 1

i know you care, so I will tell you that i am printing off portions of FAS 13. exciting isnt it? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:12 7
- I have not kept up on my announcements...is it a good one? -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 11:14 3
  - Actually I probably should read that one..We have 8 leases -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 11:15 1
    - the new one (not in practice, just proposed) or the old one? - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:17
  - FAS 13, issued in like 1976, deals with the classification of leases. - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:15
- next start on IFRS ! -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 20, 11:13 1
  - heh. i really want to black out and scan this lease agreement, the lawyers of st would enjoy the insanity of it. - tRuMaN Oct 20, 11:14

Hopefully this is really the end: after 43 years, Basque terrorist group announces "definitive cessation" of their armed campaign -- (link) - celedhring Oct 20, 11:10 8
- Rich comment from Gerry Adams there. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 11:24
- "No one cares about us any more." -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 11:19 1
  - More or less, police action and loss of social support have brought them down to their knees these past years. - celedhring Oct 20, 11:22
- [deleted]
- wow. -- nm - Divabery Oct 20, 11:15
- next up: Legged Campaign ? -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 20, 11:13
- big day -- nm - Andie - Happy Birthday Bery! Oct 20, 11:13
- Whoa -- nm - con_carnage Oct 20, 11:12
so lions and tigers and bears and zombie Momars are likely to be common Halloween costumes, I guess. -- nm - Max Oct 20, 11:10
