  - i've decided i don't love catch phrase anymore. i think just because i've played with friends that are annoying about it lately. -- nm - kare Jan 19, 10:17 3

STIS: watching Sryiana. Lots of subtitles. Sadly I can only read the top line on my TV...how can I set it to read it all? - Beaker Jan 19, 10:00 10
- I'm sure hqmeister can explain how this is because you're really watching in 720p or some shit like that -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 10:05 1

  - I was just thinking that all she was missing was a studded dog collar and a pair of studded cuffs. - Trish Jan 19, 09:49 1
    - Cat o' nine tails -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 09:53
- That might be the worst dress I've seen her in, ever. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 09:42 7
  - totally agreed. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 19, 10:20

- if there's already a crack, it wouldn't take much torsion on the frame to make it worse. - Reagen Jan 19, 09:43 1
