Love the retro look of the She & Him Christmas album. -- (link) - bc/nc Oct 27, 10:02
ML's hair just got a hardon and it doesn't know why. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 27, 10:02
g'damn Steven Tyler -- (link) - poxie Oct 27, 09:59 3
- we heard about that a couple of days ago (didn't ST?) and her first question was ... "Was he alone in the shower?" -- nm - zork Oct 27, 10:04
- Holy Christ! Put a warning on that link! Leave us with nightmares -- nm - amoxy Oct 27, 10:03

American Horror Story, from last night. This isn't right, right? - prayformojo Oct 27, 09:55
Homega Man, Fly vs Fly & Easy Bake Coven. As promised, here's Roger More's HWDYK on Treehouse of Horror VIII -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 27, 09:49
Modern Family rerun had the highest rating last night, tied for second highest overall viewers. - Siri Oct 27, 09:45 21
- is the show generally like that? I caught most of it and it was really funny. - Mel Profit Oct 27, 09:50 18
  - I think so. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 10:03
  - Almost always. The fact that they have three households to draw from *really* gives them options. - Spawn Oct 27, 09:52
  - There's something missing this season IMO - prayformojo Oct 27, 09:51 12
    - I still like MF, but this season they are milking the same stuff they've been doing before - con_carne Oct 27, 09:55 2
      - "Luke, I am your father!" -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:56 1
        
        Luke, yeah. That's him. The stuff with Luke and Phil is great. -- nm - con_carne Oct 27, 09:57
    - You just miss non-mobile/verbal Lilly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:52 1
      - i actually do miss non-mobile/non-verbal lilly. -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:53
    - "hair rings" was last season, right? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:52
    - I've liked this season more than last season so far. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:52 5
      - I am in awe of the quality thus far this season. -- nm - David Oct 27, 09:54 4
        
        "so it's my fault he chooses to chew my shoes?" - Reagen Oct 27, 10:01 2
        
        "Drop it." - Will Hunting Oct 27, 10:04 1
        
        "Now sit. Oh, come on, honey, I'm just kidding!..... Good girl." -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 10:04
        
        I'm still a couple episodes behind, but episodes that would have been laughless gimmicks on other series (i.e. dude ranch) were gold. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:55
  - It's probably the most funny straight-ahead comedy I've seen in many years - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:50
  - yep, that's a pretty typical episode (last season's though! i want new halloween Modern Family!) -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:50
  - My wife and I watch it all the time. It's fantastic. I'm sad I missed out on the first season, though ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:50

Don't ya just love it? Herman Cain's and Sarah Palin's books selling for $1. -- (link) - GregW Oct 27, 09:45 2
- This is outrageous! We should protest! Picket Newsmax for being anti-conservative! -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Oct 27, 09:57
- The invisible hand of the market sometimes gets it right. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 09:47
nmb Pixie - wanted to tell you that at the David Sedaris show he recommended a book called River Town by Peter Hessler and read a bit of it to us - it - JenBro Oct 27, 09:42 3
- oh, does the great David Sedaris think i should read a book? - poxie Oct 27, 09:45 2
  - silly man ... it was very gracious when he commented on it at the end of his program - JenBro Oct 27, 09:48 1
    - i saw them. sounded fun -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 09:48
Adventure World observation. It's possible to have so many friends that you will discover there's a cap on number of "feed accepts" in a single day. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Oct 27, 09:41 2
- I gave up several weeks ago. Lost interest. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 27, 09:51
- Adventure world observations: the incessant posts got so annoying I completely killed the game off my facebook -- nm - decline Oct 27, 09:48
Okay, ST advice requested -- I have a situation where when my mom passed - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:41 41

  - "Ve vants ze money, Lebowski!" -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:50 3
    - "I think I saw it. Lemme take another look." -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 27, 09:52 2
      - Will, here's another good idea: marmot in the bathtub. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:53 1
        
        *looks at you funny* what the hell are you two planning? - Mel Profit Oct 27, 09:54
- 1) Don't assume your brother got anything. 2) Personally, I probably wouldn't bother since liekly he's changed his mind. 3) If you did ... - zork Oct 27, 09:48
- [deleted] 1
  - right, and if you ask, expect a negative response and move on -- nm - decline Oct 27, 09:49
- If it was promised and hints aren't working then you might need to be more direct. "We are having a baby, your grandkid, and really need the money you - TWuG Oct 27, 09:46 1
  - yep ... agree with this completely. -- nm - JenBro Oct 27, 09:49
- Yeah this is a tough one. Usually on the subject of promises I live by the idea of it is the promiser's job to remember, not mine to remind. But in - bc/nc Oct 27, 09:46
- Offhand, I'd brace for disappointment and ask him as directly but unconfrontationally as possible and then - prayformojo Oct 27, 09:45 9
  - right. if i was bringing it up, i'd bring it up in specifics, not hints. "dad, when you promised me and (bro) that X-amount of money, did you mean - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:47 5
    - This. Good Luck Will -- nm - amoxy Oct 27, 10:04
    - Andie's right on about this. - Mel Profit Oct 27, 09:51
    - I like this wording. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 27, 09:50
    - this is pretty much exactly how I would word it. -- nm - 4,198,574,430 Oct 27, 09:49
    - That is easily the best shot at it now. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:48
  - yeah, i think so too. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:47
  - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:46
  - Agreed. -- nm - Siri Oct 27, 09:46
- if it wasn't in her will, then it's basically his money now. and, while it totally totally sucks, i'm not sure what you can do. - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:45 5
  - Sadly, I don't think so. He's more interested in what kinda chrome offsets on the new Vette he can than being positive about a non-bastard grandchild -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:47
  - Oh, there is a baby arriving? - kelly Oct 27, 09:46 3
    - [deleted]
    - phew - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:48 1
      - Oh, I'm sorry! -- nm - kelly Oct 27, 09:51
- would a nice letter be considered a direct request? my only suggestion - figure out how you want to do it and make it a one time shot - Epiphany Oct 27, 09:44
- Was it in her will? -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:44 1
  - No, separate instances, just soon after. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:44
- Your dad was executor? Do you know the probate lawyer? -- nm - nubby Oct 27, 09:42 10
  - This wasn't part of her will; this was his offering to presumably be a better father. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:43 9
    - this is going to be tough. My best suggestion is to sit down with him and have a calm discussion (as much as possible). - loosilu Oct 27, 09:46
    - Ouch. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:45 7
      - I freely admit, I'm wanting money on this, my useless brother was given everything for a f**king decade, and I haven't gotten a goddamned thing - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:46 6
        
        stuff like this totally blows, man. - TFox Oct 27, 09:58 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Right. (I mean, I had no use for her dad before I even knew about this stuff, so... different.) :) -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 10:07
        
        I'll be honest....to me, a promise you make is a promise you keep*, especially if it's to your kids. - Will Hunting Oct 27, 10:06 2
        
        Grrrr. -- nm - kelly Oct 27, 10:11 1
        
        Why grrrr? - Will Hunting Oct 27, 10:12

I hadn't realized how oddly it'd be perceived that I have two jobs. I don't think it's weird at all - amanda romney Oct 27, 09:37 12
- i get it with riding the bus too. "Do you want a ride home?" "No, I can take the bus." "But... I'll drive you." - TFox Oct 27, 10:02 1
  - stranger danger! -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 10:03
- [insert mandatory hand/blow joke here] - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 27, 10:00
- The US is a lazy country. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:40
- it is somewhat unusual for someone at your education level and experience to have a second job -- nm - decline Oct 27, 09:38 7
  - oh, there's a mold I need to fit. I get it now. -- nm - amanda romney Oct 27, 09:55 3
    - mrs. zork and I did a side job some years ago entering waybills for Purolator and we still look back on that time as fun. -- nm - zork Oct 27, 10:03
    - i really wanted to get a christmas job this year (i will have an expensive 2012), but - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 10:01
    - darlin' you'll never fit into any mold (which is why we love you!). but I can see some finding it odd ;) -- nm - decline Oct 27, 10:01
  - yup. -- nm - 4,198,574,430 Oct 27, 09:49
  - experience? let's leave her sex life out of this. -- nm - zork Oct 27, 09:44
  - Unless you're like, a teacher or something. -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 09:42
Last night's Survivor was perhaps one of the most annoying. (Spoils) - bc/nc Oct 27, 09:37 3

- spoils - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:39
- it's the stupidest thing i remember seeing anyone do on the show -- nm - poxie Oct 27, 09:38
As a huge NIN fan, I hate the U2 cover song. Because it's U2. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 27, 09:36 4
- Agreed. -- nm - Ender Oct 27, 09:59
- I recognize Achtung Baby as a seminal work. I also recognize it as an album I do not like. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Oct 27, 09:44
- As a fan of both, I love it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 09:39
- ditto. - Mel Profit Oct 27, 09:37
Alright Pusherman, I want to read the Walking Dead graphic novels - amoxy Oct 27, 09:35 4
- You do realize once you take that step there is no going back - eag Oct 27, 09:52
- Don't. -- nm - Siri Oct 27, 09:43
- When I jumped in, there was a compendium of the first amount. - Spawn Oct 27, 09:42
- I saw 8 or so trades in B&N the other week for about $35 a pop. -- nm - nubby Oct 27, 09:40
How about a costume poll for the ST parents - what are your kids going as this year for Halloween? -- nm - JenBro Oct 27, 09:35 10

  - And they used to be the triplets. *wipes costume fabric from the corner of my mouth* -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 09:36 2
    - dayum. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 09:39 1
      - "Trick or --" *vortex opens* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:49
The uniform on campus this fall appears to be black leggings and furry trimmed uggs. - Mop (197 lbs) Oct 27, 09:34 7
- right. leggings are NOT pants. there should be a televised PSA about this. -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 27, 09:35 1
  - yes, those tunics are sold for a reason. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 09:35
- on the east coast, it's black leggings and leather boots (often brown). -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 09:34 4
  - Yeah, leather boots are a big East Coast thing. Back in Montreal last year, all the college girls looked like they were going to job interviews. - Mop (197 lbs) Oct 27, 09:40 3
    - people go to job interviews in leather boots? -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 09:40 2

- kind of the same type line - anyone know when we get to buy that remake song for the trailer of GWTDT?? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 27, 09:42
- can you link the tracklist? i searched Achtung and got nothing, and searching U2 brings up a f*ckton of loosi posts. -- nm - TFox Oct 27, 09:36 7
  - heh heh. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 09:39 1
    - I thought you only posted about the Beatles? And Hanson? -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 27, 09:46
