so my group of friends has this non-friend. this outsider. I really dig him, but many people talk about how he's a tool. - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:42 4
- it's the reason why I don't get invited to anything. - Remlik Jan 23, 13:05
- Or he really is a douche but the chicks don't see it because he is hot. -- nm - Todd Manning Jan 23, 12:47 1
  - is he that hot that we're blind? how would I suss that out? do I need a gay dude, I wonder? -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:49
- Fine, all you girls come on over and leave the dudes at home. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:44
Anyone seen Haywire, Underworld 4, or Contraband...they all look pretty good - any opinions? -- nm - Capstern Jan 23, 12:31 24
- Underworld 4 sucked hard. *semi spoilers* - TwinkLander Jan 23, 12:41 4
  - from what I heard that's not the only reason it sucked. But I'll still watch it on DVD. -- nm - sycor Jan 23, 12:42
  - also, did they rip the archival footage from the other movies off of a VHS? - colin Jan 23, 12:41 1
    - I think it was to hide the fact that *spoils* - TwinkLander Jan 23, 12:48
  - But it has Kate and that is just awesome - naked or no -- nm - Capstern Jan 23, 12:41
- Haywire is a solid B. I don't need to see Underworld to know it's a D, and Contraband looks pretty generic. nm - Dignan Jan 23, 12:33

        again, it's the pattern of behavior. once and again, I take no issue. frequent disregard for tacit rules irks me. - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:43 3
        
        I get being irked and annoyed with him when he goes allcappie about relationship stuff. (It doesn't bother me but I can see how it would others) but - sycor Jan 23, 12:54
        
        Wow tacit rules. So where is the rule that I shouldnt try to generate some realtime conversation vs - Capstern Jan 23, 12:47 1

    - like it would *ever* happen in my house, but I worry about it going bad if I get the big jar. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:29 7
      - does peanut butter ever go bad? -- nm - decline Jan 23, 12:30 6
        
        I think the natural stuff can go rancid. The unnatural stuff is irradiated and full of preservatives, so it lasts longer than twinkies. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 23, 12:31 2
        
        if they made peanut butter twinkies = immortal? -- nm - colin Jan 23, 12:33 1
        
        There can be only one! -- nm - TwinkiLander Jan 23, 12:37

    - A Hero Walks Away -- nm - prayformojo Jan 23, 12:34
- cant wait for this. It's too bad that they cant go back and give him the role of a really bad ass Jedi or better yet, the role of a Sith. -- nm - Jovian Jan 23, 12:22 16
  - what would be a neat idea (I think)... - Mel Profit Jan 23, 12:24 15
    - what would be a neat idea is if Despot George gave the ST reigns to someone competent to make episodes 7, 8, & 9 - Jovian Jan 23, 12:30 9

      - Id rather they go back and do an Old Republic movie -- nm - eag Jan 23, 12:32 5

        Were liable to find out it was Yoda who inpregnated Anakin's mom -- nm - eag Jan 23, 12:29 2
        
        It would definitely explain the off-the-charts midichlorian count, and how yoda was able to live for so long without offing himself. - Beryllium Jan 23, 12:30 1

Max, how often does treating an illness hinge on knowing who the father is? The absolute worst case is in organ donation - TWuG Jan 23, 12:12 16
- Parent's aren't always a match so just because someone isn't doesn't mean they aren't the father. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 23, 12:21 4
  - but a parent is far more likely to match, correct? -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:22 3
    - Yeah, but I don't remember the statistics. We had a lecture on this like 1.5 years ago :/ -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 23, 12:25 2
      - Don't let James Bond treat you! He's forgotten all his training! -- nm - Max Jan 23, 12:26 1
        
        Eh, he got his credits and moved on. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:29
- look, I'm just saying maybe you should double check. -- nm - Max Jan 23, 12:16 6
  - Think I would just get the list of stuff form the possible father. Things that you may need to watch out for. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 23, 12:20 4
    - If he knows he's potentially the father. - TWuG Jan 23, 12:21 1
      - how do we know she ever saw him again? hello, one night stand. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 23, 12:30
    - no, you're fine. I'm saying TWuG should double check. -- nm - Max Jan 23, 12:20 1
      - Double check what? -- nm - TWuG Jan 23, 12:22
  - I think the down side of checking is way harsher than any positives from the up side. -- nm - TWuG Jan 23, 12:18
- maybe the real father has issues that run in the family. MS, heart disease etc -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 12:14 1

  - So the insurance is like 8 bucks a month...worth it? -- nm - Capstern Jan 23, 12:14 1
    - I found it was worth it. It still ended up costing me $120 for the replacement but it would have cost me $500 if I wanted the same phone - Krusty Jan 23, 12:17
  - Speaking of, there is now an untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. nm - Dignan Jan 23, 12:14
