The product placement in Top Chef is over the top. I don't usually mind it, but this is enough to turn it off. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 16:10 13
- I dunno, it's not so b--MUST BUY GE PROFILE APPLIANCES. -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 16:15 1
  - MUST BUY EXTRA SUGAR-FREE GUM -- nm - The Biggest Corporate Whore Jan 14, 16:16
- Jeez, when did you turn into such an effing cranky old man! - Trish Jan 14, 16:12 7
  - Think about it Trish. He lives near me!! I blame the water. RC is turning to the Cranky side too. Guy is the last hold out. -- nm - Redmond Jan 14, 16:17 3
    - You guys have to get out of that damn state. It's schizoid. - Trish Jan 14, 16:20
    - Guy wrapped around. He got so cranky that he overloaded and now he only gets cranky about silly things. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:18 1
      - True true. Oregon is where the pissy people live. Now get off my lawn!! -- nm - Redmond Jan 14, 16:20
  - Damnit, there is nothing wrong with wearing an awesome hat! -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:15 [flickr] 2
    - That's not an old man hat--they wear those snap brim tweedy caps, sometimes with a little feather. - Trish Jan 14, 16:17 1
      - well, I know what you mean, but ... the tilley hat has snap brims, too. (Albeit far cooler) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:18
- Like Hyde, I find it easy to ignore -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:11 2
  - (Heh.) -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 16:15 1
    - Well, that too :-P -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:17
Kare, Con Carne. most all the strip hotels are dropping room rates mid week. several under $50 a night - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:09 2
- *twitch* -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:10 1
  - another thought is if you played a lot at 1 hotel the last time you were here, you may get their players club to comp the room on your next visit - peglegpete Jan 14, 16:14
How can anyone turn down Pizza?.....even has a New Years Resolution....Pizza is its own food group. I would give up sex before pizza!!! Silly Kelly :P -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 14, 16:05 17
- Woah woah woah. Let's not get talking all crazy like. The only thing I give up sex for is more sex. -- nm - Redmond Jan 14, 16:19
- Last night, my team had pizza and beer. I had Subway and coke zero with them. - ty97 Jan 14, 16:11 1
  - :) -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 16:21
- she turned down their pasta, not pizza. if it was pizza, they have a pretty tasty lighter version that i order. - b! Jan 14, 16:08 7
  - do you remember when they launched the "Harvest" line of pizza? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:09 6
    - no. in normal circumstances, i seldom have chain pizza, though. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 16:12 5
      - Good call -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 16:15
      - It was pizza ... without cheese. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:13 3
        
        I'm shocked that it wasn't successful -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 16:17 1
        
        At the time, I couldn't believe that they wasted so much money in advertising it. - Beryllium Jan 14, 16:19
        
        ah. i know people who do that regularly on their own. - b! Jan 14, 16:16
- Are you sure you're a guy? -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 16:07
- It was pasta from Pizza Hut -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:06 4
  - It's not that bad. In fact, the rotini in meatsauce, baked, with mozarella on top is downright tasty. -- nm - Trish Jan 14, 16:15 1
    - it may be tasty; but, lo, the nutrition. nm but: -- (link) - b! Jan 14, 16:18
  - Pizza Hut has Pasta? Goes to look at online menu........hmmm they do and ours has salads too...who knew? -- (link) - Walt_Disney Jan 14, 16:10
  - I have to concur. I tried it once. That's enough. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 16:07
I hunger -- nm - ty97 Jan 14, 16:04
FAVORS!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 15:58 1
- The highest rated recruit to select my alma mater since Kenny Anderson -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 16:01
Has the date been decided for Vegastravaganza? (I lost the link) -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:56 5
- Not yet. In typical TT fashion, it's tied. -- (link) - nubby Jan 14, 15:59 4
  - So we just do it twice :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 16:04 2
    - Do. Not. Give. Us. Ideas. -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 16:05
    - This is the spirit I like to see! -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:05
  - Ah, thx -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 16:01
Kelly - I'm proud of you. Keep making those good food choices!! :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 15:55 1
- Thanks. - kelly Jan 14, 15:57
TFox - Waaay LIR - when my daughter was in 1st(?) grade I was talking to another parent outside the school.... - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 15:54 1
- hee. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:55
The correct response is: What is Zeitgeist's reaction to seeing a flashing ad banner for a porn site? -- (link) - Mop Jan 14, 15:47 [Backboard] 1
- I dunno, but I'm sure it involves some sort of bitching. -- nm - Trish Jan 14, 15:51
OK, 2 towns have now cancelled school for tomorrow, citing "extreme cold". I have three words about that: - TFox Jan 14, 15:45 27
- [deleted]
- They cancelled school here today, but because of super-icy roads. Almost never for mere snow or cold. - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 15:57
- vaginas? does that mean they're super cool, sought after, and quite resiliant and tough? -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:53 1
  - yes, and furry, so they can stay warm. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:54
- -33 Celsiius here tomorrow. -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 15:52 2
  - It's gonna be single digits here. We don't even have a scary negative sign in front. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:54 1
    - Wait, it's not even going to be below zero? Ok, that's a real puss move. - Trish Jan 14, 16:06
- is it in case kidlets aren't picked-up right away after school? -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:52 5
  - There were a few times, when I lived in Tennessee that schools were closed for cold due to budgetary reasons. - Trish Jan 14, 16:00 3
    - I bet it was cause they ran out of the 'shine to run the generators. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 16:13 1
      - Dear Pete. Hello, how are you doing? I am fine. You're an assclown. Love, Trish. -- nm - Trish Jan 14, 16:18
    - i thought about the heating, too; so that makes sense. especially for not-usually-frigid places. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 16:02
  - there's a cold section in this - how decisions are made re: closures due to weather. nm but: -- (link) - b! Jan 14, 15:57
- don't you live in FLorida? -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:51 2
  - If only you'd shipped me things before... :) -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:52 1
    - oh like I'm gonna go look that up! -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:53
- Would you take your kid out in that weather? -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 15:49 1
  - Maybe SheFox can get yelled at again tomorrow if she needs to go to the grocery store. That'll be cool. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:53
- Which towns? -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 15:47 5
  - Whoops. 5 now. -- (link) - TFox Jan 14, 15:48 4
    - Wow, not the towns I would have expected. -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 15:50
    - (They closed the hairdressing school! Too cold for grown-ass adults to commute? That bus thing last year broke this whole state's brain.) -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:50 1
      - Heh heh. Yeah, I think it did. -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 15:51
    - Sadly, that's not the worst spelling of "toronto" I've ever seen. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 15:49
- I had to use my air conditioner when I was driving yesterday. Unseasonably warm, 85. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:46 2
  - Our house air conditioner has been coming on all week (set at 78). It's January! -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 15:49 1
    - I was in the OC this weekend sitting outside reading Eclipse and I my face is sunburned. Nice at the beach though. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:51
b.l.a.h -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 15:41
Dear cold (TMI) - con_carne Jan 14, 15:40 1
- So THAT'S where it went! It's warm up here finally, after almost two weeks below zero. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 15:44
Excited for Angels & Demons? Want a little Illuminati pyramid for your desk? Like cutting and pasting? -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 15:38 2
- I want a Lamont Configuartion. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:49
- No. No. And... no. -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 15:41
It's amazing what you find in the back of the refrigerator when you empty it out, haul it outside and hose it down inside and out. ;-) - CrankYanker Jan 14, 15:36 4
- Did you find any missing STers? Or checkcards? - the liioulu somewhere else Jan 14, 15:38 2
  - well, I'm not Dahmer and I don't think I would ever be in the same places as Mandy or Stacy. so, no. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 15:41 1
    - I was thinking more that they might have climbed in there to get away from HSX beta. -- nm - the liioulu somewhere else Jan 14, 15:55
- when did raider become twix? ;-) -- nm - Marcel Jan 14, 15:38
[deleted] 1
- That second would be any of the archrivals in the same room. -- nm - the liioulu somewhere else Jan 14, 15:34
PH does not have salads - con_carne Jan 14, 15:21 11
- Planet Hollywood? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 15:48 2
  - Dude, I am ready to go to Vegas *right now* Some people I know went recently. Argh -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:53 1
    - i was pricing trips today. some phenomenal PH rates, actually. but $50/night at MGM? sweet! -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:54
- must depend on location. my local delivery/take-out only has the plain one i mentioned, and pretty sure another with sit-down still has a salad bar. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:28
- Good to know. Danke. -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 15:25 6
  - Oh, I was really being snarky for no reason. :-P But yeah, I'm looking at their menu online. Saladless -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:27 5
    - *kick* -- nm - kelly Jan 14, 15:33 2
      - Heh. Also, you a strong woman. I applaud that. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:50 1
        
        Eh, not really. - kelly Jan 14, 15:53
    - halb. (for the snark.) -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:29
    - Though I've been in a few Huts with salad bars. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 14, 15:28
blah. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 15:20
Remember on "Election Night", when Donna was reprimanded that it's just Foo Fighters, not *the* Foo Fighters? - nubby Jan 14, 15:20 50
- Based on the preview clips along, the caption reads "Foo Fighters" and they're addressed as "Foo Fighters". - Mop Jan 14, 16:03
- itunes says "Foo Fighters" only. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:39 3
  - That's marketing. It got cool to name your band that way, suddenly if your band has a "The" in front of it you're old-fashioned -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:43
  - Their website is Foo Fighters, not "the" Foo Fighters. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:40 1
    - heh, i looked there when i first saw the post above. check the entries on the front page - some do add "the" -- nm - b! Jan 14, 16:04
- Wait... Top Chef featuring the Foo Fighters? I need to watch this. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 15:29 2
  - Nate speaks! A lot. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:32
  - yes you do. i liked it, too. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:30
- Dropping the "The" was a very nineties thing for rock bands to do. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:25 1
  - Spoons! -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 15:28
- thats a great Top Chef episode -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:20 39
  - "did that guy not like me very much? because i think he spit on my plate!" - kare Jan 14, 15:24 10
    - yep should be a new one (I was going to post Taylor's barfait comment, and you stole my thunder!) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:31 2
      - I talked to him in December, he doesn't look like he eats. He was downing shots of Jack Daniels though. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:53
      - booyah! -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:43
    - There's one guy that has a restaurant called The Dildo?! -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 15:28 6
      - Dilido Beach - I misread that the first time I saw it too. -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:30 5
        
        i know, right? oh jeffrey. no, no, no no no. -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:43 4
        
        I'm going to one of Fabio's restaurants next month. His pasta always looks great. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:47 3
        
        I want to just go look at Fabio, I think he's totally adorable. -- nm - Trish Jan 14, 16:11
        
        just like his grandma made it! (you must report) -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:51 1
        
        I hope he's there, probably not though. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:52
  - Is TC the official cooking competitive reality show of ST? -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 15:22 27
    - totally. i really love top chef....nm - x Jan 14, 15:33 15
      - i honestly think it may be my favorite TV show. -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:45 1
        
        (well. when project runway isn't on.) -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:45
      - That's one place I don't mind seeing product placements. It makes me believe I can do that stuff. I really can -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:36 9
        
        please do not be heating (last ep. spoiler) - b! Jan 14, 15:38 8
        
        oh, that seemed gross to me -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:41 7
        
        indeed. - b! Jan 14, 15:46
        
        and what did it even go into? didn't she make crepes?? -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:44 5
        
        you're right, I don't know what she used it in -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:46 4
        
        She might have made a sauce with it, were those the ones with bananas? She might have cooked them in the DDP. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:49 3
        
        to me.. (spoilery?) - b! Jan 14, 15:51 2
        
        I would think the crepes would not hold together. Maybe she pretended to use it. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:55 1
        
        we saw it pouring in? in any case, as i said... - b! Jan 14, 16:00
      - "today's Swanson's broth Quickfire challenge" -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:34 2
        
        i like when they have someone call home and they frame it so basically all you can see is the phone they're talking into....nm - x Jan 14, 15:36 1
        
        t-mobile sidekick! -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:40
    - Yes. (unless Iron Chef counts as a reality show, which I don't think it does) - con_carne Jan 14, 15:26 10
      - but I do like watching Hell's Kitchen speaking of Ramsey - however the cooking is a notch below the level of Top Chef -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:32 9
        
        the last crew of chefs on hell's kitchen were embarrasingly bad....nm - x Jan 14, 15:34 1
        
        and one of them was definitely touched in the head -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:35
        
        My friend had dinner at Hell's Kicthen Monday night. I haven't heard if he made a scene so he'll make it on air yet. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:34 6
        
        I'm envious. I want to eat at Hell's Kitchen (I'll order a Wellington off the regular menu) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:35 5
        
        Someone I know ate their last season. He said the taping takes forever. They tell you when you're picked to eat first, there is only a small chance - jnine Jan 14, 15:38 4
        
        yeah, I realize that when I see him scream "Shut it down, shut it down!" prematurely - I'll have back up dinner plans if I ever do make it to HK :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:41 3
        
        It's not easy to get on, lots of people want to be screamed at on tv. They film on a studio lot and most of the diners have contacts in the industry. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:43 2
        
        I'll just tell them that I know jnine :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:45 1
        
        If only that worked, I would be there! -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:57
