    - Interesting. - TFox Nov 16, 06:21 1
      - To me, it's how it should have been last season. We can't have a final episode where there's 10 of the original 18 still able to win. - Jim Nov 16, 06:27
    - this is what I've read as well -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 06:20
- heh, timely -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 06:18
you know what I would *love* to bump into on campus today? a bake sale. I want like nine pastries of all different sort. - foolish prophet Nov 16, 05:58 2
- oh, also, nobody cares but this week's dreidel song is "wouldn't it be nice." - foolish prophet Nov 16, 06:21 1
  - my 'stuck-in-my-head-song' is "Jump in the Line" (the "Shake, Shake, Shake Senora, shake it all the time" song.) - Andie Nov 16, 06:23
he's a crazy electoral idea I *didn't* think up of... -- (link) - znufrii Nov 16, 05:54 13

    - [deleted] 5
      - Is it really that difficult to imagine? Considering FL, PA, OH are the swings? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:34 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Yes, you're correct. - Strongbad Nov 16, 06:47

    - Canada has tried to do things about this TV wise, but impossible to contain with the internet -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 06:29
  - I like the idea of all the polls closing at once, nationwide - znufrii Nov 16, 06:06 2
    - that's called advanced polls.... -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 06:30 1
      - and it's one of the things GOP-led state governments have been cracking down on in the name of combatting "voter fraud" aka Democratic votes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 06:31
- he = here -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 05:55

- So, she's actually trying to make it in mainstream now? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 05:39 9
  - has been for a while but no one noticed until recently - I'd say her plan worked beautifully -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 05:48 8
    - *marks down June 2014 for her triumphant return to porn* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 05:50 7
      - she irks me. Her mediocre intelligence + her disdain for her former profession should not equal her level of preteniousness. - Epiphany Nov 16, 06:05 6
        
        She was pretenious as hell while doing porn. No reason for that to change now. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 16, 06:16 2
        
        I watched some movie (the name escapes me, it's like "9 to 5 - A Life in Porn" or something) and she was in it as an 18 yo. - Andie Nov 16, 06:20 1
        
        hee !! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 16, 06:32
        
        Does she hate porn now? - Will Hunting Nov 16, 06:09 2
        
        I think she just hates it being the 1st thing mentioned about her - " former porn star Sasha Grey". - Epiphany Nov 16, 06:31 1
        
        Well then...she probably shouldn't have enjoyed getting defiled on camera for money for years on end. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 06:33

  - "...that I plan to copy." -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 05:37 2
    - "and improve upon". Tie it into their grades. Good treat bringers get an extra grade level (a B+ becomes an A- etc) -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 05:48 1

- I would feel sympathetic, if I weren't remembering my 4 hour anatomy labs, followed by 3 hours of teaching intro bio lab until 10pm.. :) - loosilu Nov 15, 21:48

- I like it. -- nm - psilotum Nov 15, 21:24 1
  - thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 21:30
- (I kinda wish I had the tools to desaturate everything but my eyes, even though it's a cheesy effect these days ...) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 21:11 2

        I'm sayin'. -- nm - Reagen Nov 15, 20:37 11
        
        although I am the right dimensions and have the right degree, I am afraid "pukes if you look at me wrong" would count me out. -- nm - loosilu Nov 15, 20:38 10
        
        Well, apply anyway ... they'll at least let you get to the Vomit Comet stage -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 20:43 7
