  - as long as you stay away from mohair.. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:56
  - angora feels so soft, but OMG! it gets up my nose and in my eyes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 13:53 2
    - it's not great spun by itself... it's a good blender. - colin Nov 3, 13:54

- My favorite thing to do in NY? Stanton Island Ferry. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:52 4
  - you're so gay. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:53 3
    - Better that I enjoy Ferrys than furries, I always say. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:55 2
      - you enjoy furries with less than 30% fur content.... -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:56 1
        
        I believe this chart is useful for reference. -- (link) - Qale Nov 3, 13:59 [Image]

        You're not even going to be there the weekend colin's there, doofus. (also: blame my manager for taking a month off) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:58
        
        Sunday would be best for me, just saying. could even probably make it up for brunch somewhere. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:58 1
        
        Sunday sounds good -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 14:02
- People care! (I think LMS will be there around then as well.) -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 13:49 2

Something must have happened with mine, and qatfm's web host as they've screwed up our Wordpress. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:33 22
- curiousity: who is your webhost? -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:47 7
  - phpwebhosting.com ... loooove them. they're cheap $9.95/mo, unlimited everything.. this is rare. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:48 6
    - cool. I use ipage and so far I like them. And being able to reach someone on the phone for support is a HUGE + for me. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:50 5
      - On a side note: I wished Godaddy would *stop* calling me. I only use you for domain parking and purchasing bitches, leave me alone. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:54 1
        
        They called me once. I told them I wouldn't use them for hosting, I don't put all my eggs in one basket. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:58
      - what's their pricing like? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:51 2
        
        regularly 8.95 but they are ALWAYS running a special which right now is 4.50 for the first year. - sycor Nov 3, 13:54 1
        
        oo, nice! i may look at them. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:55
- looks like a phpwebhosting problem... let's give it a little time. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:41 5
  - yep, control panel on the site is down for repairs. this is a first for them. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:41 4
    - I wanna get out the pitchforks already though! -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:43 3
      - their servers are already down, what's to burn? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:44 2
        
        I haven't even tried posting anime penes yet on this host. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:48 1
        
        dew it, dood. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:49
- they saw you gave In Time an A+ - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 13:34 7
  - The Fat Man is sane. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:40 5
    - It's rare we have such a strong disparity in grades. And I think off the top of my head it's usually in this direction. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:43 4
      - we have, however, never had a movie that i rated highly and you rated low. always you way higher than i. what gives? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:44 3
        
        I don't know why it's never happened the other way around yet. I did fail Insidious where you just knocked it around a bit. - Qale Nov 3, 13:51 2
        
        ida know.. i've gotta be pretty offended to fail a movie. i probably should have failed In Time... - colin Nov 3, 13:53 1
        
        I gather In Time offended your politics as well as with the time puns. - Qale Nov 3, 13:57
  - This is why you don't get scripts published. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 13:35
sign o' the times: a young attorney who shares office space had literally never seen an actual Rolodex before today -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 13:32 11
- i *should* have a rolodex.. i have a foot tall stack of cards on my desk. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:46
- The younger attorneys in our office never read print out anything to read. I review documents on the computer, but when I have to compare documents - jnine Nov 3, 13:44 2
  - Tools - Merge and Compare Documents -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:45 1
    - our software is a million years old. also, I'm readinf for substantive content. I like to do that with the document in hand. -- nm - jnine Nov 3, 14:17
- this reminds me...I got on the elevator with a youngish lawyer type who was... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 13:38 4
  - I'd bet on investment banker visiting his lawyer before actual lawyer on that one. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 13:51
  - see that more reminds me of the scene in American Psycho where the guys are comparing business cards :) -- nm - JenTurBroken Nov 3, 13:47
  - mel, bubby, he eats eurotrash like them for breakfast -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 13:45 1
    - someday he's going to see that scene and be mortified. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 13:47
- oh, andy. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 13:35 1
  - I've seen a Rolex! -- nm - amoxy Nov 3, 13:37

- You know, I finally looked up the word "pedantic" the other day. - con_carne Nov 3, 13:49
- i don't like the phrase "had arrived at"... seems passive, but i could be wrong. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:43 6
  - Yeah, I feel like you "arrive at" an already existing conclusion. A financial projection is new... something you create, not become aware of. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:57
  - "for good measure" and "in toto" are the problem phrases (IMO) -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:44 4
    - [deleted] 2
      - Obviously I'm missing context, but it's a rhetorical floruish for some very dry-sounding material. - Roger More Nov 3, 13:55 1
        
        [deleted]
    - it's so ped.... -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:45
- i'll answer when you translate it intu understandable Danish - Danedukenuuk Nov 3, 13:43
- 1 -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:42 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - what, that's how I would write it :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:50 2
      - so, it's a 1 and a 10 -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:55 1
        
        *head explodes* -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:57
- I'd switch "in toto" to "in tutu" -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 3, 13:39
- "You can dress these financials up in all the ballet dresses you want, they're still not going to look pretty." -- nm - Lost in Transcription Nov 3, 13:36
- Are the projections being blessed, down in Africa? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:35 2
  - ~ I bless the rains down in Africa~ -- nm - Epiphany Nov 3, 13:44
  - they put them inside dorothy's dog?? -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 13:35
- yeah, you had me until [that word] and then lost me. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:32 1
  - But since it's law stuff, it's probably only a 4 on the pedantic scale. Outside of law, it would be a 9 -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:32
Seriously, who would buy this for this price? -- (link) - ty97 Nov 3, 13:25 38
- I wouldn't wear that if it was free. -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 13:54
- at least it's 100% wool. although i'd expect a cashmere blend at least for that price. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 13:49
- you can't feel the quality of the wool online so you have to know the makers quality before -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 3, 13:44
- I could make it for half the price, easy. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:42
- It's no tight red and white plaid hipster jacket to wear with skinny high-water pants. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 13:40 7
  - (Repost!) -- (link) - con_carne Nov 3, 13:42 6
    - I think I would literally smack someone if I saw them wear this. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:49 3
      - It's the matching tie that makes you wonder whether you're on a joke website -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:50 2
        
        No it's the ugly jacket, the tie and the pants, individually and together that makes me think this. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:53
        
        No, it's the pants. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 13:52
    - buwhaa!! that dude is wearing his grandma's couch! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 3, 13:47
    - Looking snazzy, con_carne! -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:43

    - It was all winter stuff when I went over the weekend. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Nov 3, 13:43 6
      - oh, I should get some boy sweaters. you *slay* for reminding me. (someone remind me later too.) -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 13:44 5
        
        I admit I got one of the sweaters specifically to wear with my cute new black sweater boots. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Nov 3, 13:47
        
        I want to know where all these sexy codes are coming from. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:44 3
        
        never ever ever buy anything online, from anyone, without googling for a promo code. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 13:46 2
        
        I've tried this, but all the codes always seem expired -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 13:47 1
        
        you need a 'go to' site. americans. what do you use? - Andie Nov 3, 13:48
  - be sure to enter code "ONFRIENDS" to receive 30% off your entire order at Old Gravy -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 3, 13:40 1
    - pls 6% back at FE. plus 35% at gap with GAPWOW, plus 6% back at FW there as well. thanks for the reminder. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 13:42
  - fyi ( i have no idea if you have the same sales as us) but Old Navy here is having 'up to 50% off outerwear' starting tomorrow. - Andie Nov 3, 13:39 3
    - I wear their camis and tanks every single day (what's a bra?). I need more black ones because of work blah blah blah - amanda Nov 3, 13:41 2
      - oh sorry. I mean to say "I *only* wear their camis and tanks." like, I buy nothing else there. thank you so much though. also, note above that - amanda Nov 3, 13:43 1
        
        my old navy clothes are generally summer tshirts. - Andie Nov 3, 13:45
- I kinda like it -- nm - amoxy Nov 3, 13:30 1
  - that settles it!!!! - groiny Nov 3, 13:37
- "shawl collar?" WTF? - con_carne Nov 3, 13:28 3
  - that's what those wrap collars are called. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 13:29 2
    - It seems to... have no purpose besides looking different -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:43 1
      - well, when you get down to it, what 'purpose' does any collar, have, really? - Andie Nov 3, 13:44
- no one - its fug -- nm - Epiphany Nov 3, 13:26
- Somebody with too much money? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 13:25
- Peggy from prime credit -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 3, 13:25 1

So, how bad is it for a baseball team to start free agency without a GM? How about the winter meetings. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 3, 13:24 2
- Who is untouchable in the Orioles front office? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 13:27 1

Tim, you are hitting the wrong button. - David Nov 3, 13:23 15

  - What I needed to learn to get AR Knight is... - David Nov 3, 13:37 6
    - The Joker mouth entrance was the one that got me the most - J Nov 3, 13:40 5
      - That was just about the last thing for me to do. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 3, 13:46
      - I only needed about three tries for it. My worst was the one where you have to clear the low gate and then go in the underground area. - David Nov 3, 13:43 3
        
        That might be the one I needed to use detective mode to beat. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 3, 13:48
        
        That's funny, that was the first one I tried and the quickest one for me to get -- nm - J Nov 3, 13:46 1
        
        I was in agony on that one. I think I fidget too much for it. -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:47

- not anymore. when i had health care back in maryland (ha), they were our provider. they were generally good but that was over five years ago - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 13:24 3
  - All I know is that they are part of WellPoint (for-profit) whereas Empire was NFP. Not sure if/how that makes a different (good or bad). - ty97 Nov 3, 13:27 2
    - a distinction without much of a difference -- (link) - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 13:31 1
