Heh, American Airlines is offering a bonus if I *buy* airmiles..... - MojaveMeg Feb 1, 16:06 2
- I've never even considering buying miles (I get those e-mails *all* the time). The only case it might make sense - ty97 Feb 1, 16:13
- Oops, sorry - that's one-way fare. Double that for round trip - still less than buying miles. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 1, 16:07

- i'm trying to figure out the economic calculation they did that appeasing the pro-life faction was worth throwing over all the women who run the race -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 1, 16:07 1
  - I've donated for the 3 day the last 3 years - and now goIng forward I'll be making an on line payment to PP instead. -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 16:15

    - and a taser for when he starts to ignore the bell -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 1, 16:22
- That would go very well with this bag of Chili Cheese Fritos I'm digging into right now. - con_carne Feb 1, 15:57 4
  - Heh - that reminds me - one of the taco toppings at the table when I was growing up was mom's diced dill pickles :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 16:04 2
    - Hm, that sounds pretty good. - con_carne Feb 1, 16:11 1
      - It's funny - I had forgotten all about it too - I mean - it's been years - and now I've got a craving for it. :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 16:19
  - mandy, don't hurt him -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 1, 15:59
- making your own dill pickles is real easy. I prefer the cold curing brine as opposed to the hot brine -- nm - peglegpete Feb 1, 15:43 3
  - Oh yeah - my mom made them - they were tasty. -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 15:55
  - my mom would make them every year. best pickles ever. -- nm - znufrii Feb 1, 15:45
  - Keep your hot brine away from my pickle -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 15:45
That really is Will Ferrel in a Spanish Language film - ty97 Feb 1, 15:39

  - go buy a controller then. i actually had to switch to my xbox controller to play -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 1, 16:01
  - one suggestion I thought of - try not to clear dungeons if they're not quest related - Reagen Feb 1, 16:00 2
    - Cool, thanks for the tip! -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 16:04
    - (like, I'm stuck on the Companions storyline because I cleared a place and I need to wait for it to reset) -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 16:01
  - ahh, thanks, I hate that too -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 15:56
  - get this -- (link) - znufrii Feb 1, 15:53 1
    - I'll keep that in mind if I can't get my fingers to work. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 15:57

- after reading the article, I can honestly say that man is an idiot -- nm - CQ: Giving Love To All Feb 1, 15:35
- After all, what rewards did great Bibilical teachers like Moses get? -- nm - Roger More Feb 1, 15:24 1
  - Reading the article, he's completely wrong - the way to get the best teachers is to look for the best teachers, not just rely on whoever turns up. - Roger More Feb 1, 15:29
- "doubling teacher pay could lead to less-qualified educators" What???? -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 15:22 2
  - More people doing it for cash instead of the job. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud God Feb 1, 15:47
  - I mean, look at the idiots they've attracted to state government by paying them better. -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 15:29
Take a deep breath...Chaos all around me at work, very little I can do to fix it -- nm - amoxy Feb 1, 15:08
lyc - looking forward to hosting Capstern and MojaveMom at our home tonight. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 1, 15:02 13
- Oh I'm jealous! What will you be doing? Drinks? Dinner? Robbing a Bank? :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 15:12 1
  - Yes, yes, hmmmm -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 1, 15:16
- What about his new gf? - Spawn - Blood Feud God Feb 1, 15:07 10
  - since you're not on FB you didn't see the realtionship status between the two. -- nm - Remlik Feb 1, 15:12
  - *decides merely to hint at the obvious* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 15:07 8
    - You and Remlik are BAD. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 1, 15:17 7

- LA Times had a nice article on this a while back. Think this is it. -- (link) - con_carne Feb 1, 15:05 1

- I got friends who are members if I ever need to go there again. very good food. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 1, 14:58 6

    - I've never been - what's special about it? -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 15:14 4
      - It's the epitome of the "star treatment". You're almost embarrassed at the amount of attention given to you by the staff. It was originally used by - CrankYanker Feb 1, 15:32
      - Few have. It's an exclusive club, in the old fashioned style. - con_carne Feb 1, 15:28

- it was a need to know situation, and ..... -- nm - peglegpete Feb 1, 14:49
- Isn't this much harder on Will and Murphy? - Bacon Feb 1, 14:45 7
  - Rascal! -- nm - JenBro Feb 1, 15:16
  - Ain't ready on anyone - Will Hunting Feb 1, 14:55 5
    - I'm confused, why do you guys have to go in if they're not inducing and she's not ready yet. -- nm - pmb Feb 1, 15:01 2
      - This is allegedly part one of the induction. - kelly Feb 1, 15:06
      - So the hospital can get more money out of it -- nm - eag Feb 1, 15:03
    - I say this with all sincerity. It will be worth the wait! All the best -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 14:57 1
      - And there is always ST to entertain till the time comes -- nm - eag Feb 1, 15:00
- [deleted] 6
  - Hahaha. - kelly Feb 1, 14:49 5
    - Wow, but I guess it's necessary to be extremely cautious and take a very slow approach...it's a baby! ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 1, 14:51 4

        I've taken quite a few new families HOME from the hospital but never to the hospital. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 1, 15:11
        
        I would imagine there have been more conceptions than deliveries in his limo. -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 15:00 1
        
        Its less to clean up at least -- nm - eag Feb 1, 15:01
It confuses me when they make short films into feature films, because I get this severe sense of deja vu - ty97 Feb 1, 14:42 1
- It confuses me when Mop posts on ST for the exact same reason. -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 14:43
Spirit Airlines adds $2 "Dept. of Transportation Unintended Consequences Fee" in response to new rules -- (link) - znufrii Feb 1, 14:30
TFox did know, and Aceves only made 600k last year. - TFox Feb 1, 14:30 3
- this cat eats innings like WH and Big Macs. He can/does start when/if they need him to. he should be paid better (by Major League standards). -- nm - Diva Feb 1, 14:37 2
  - He'll win in arbitration. -- nm - TFox Feb 1, 14:38 1
    - he deserves to. -- nm - Diva Feb 1, 15:02
[deleted] 13
- I'm stunned by this and won't believe it until the deadline passes. -- nm - David Feb 1, 14:38
- How could you franchise a back up quarterback. That would be insane. -- nm - pmb Feb 1, 14:28 10
  - [deleted] 8
    - I guess I could see that, but you're paying a huge premium (even as the buyer) for an unproven quarterback. - pmb Feb 1, 14:31 7
      - and that's only ok when they've never played a down in the NFL! -- nm - mel kiper Feb 1, 14:57
      - It's much crazier to let a topflight QB go sans compensation. The Falcons held on to Schaub as long as they could for just this reason. -- nm - David Feb 1, 14:37 4
        
        Which QB would you rather have now? -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 14:38 3
        
        Between Vick and Schaub? Vick is more dynamic while Schaub has no blood on his hands. So, Schaub. - David Feb 1, 14:40 2
        
        Oh, I meant if you could have Matt Ryan or Schaub now. Which would you rather have in that offense? -- nm - Bacon Feb 1, 14:41 1
        
        That's a tough question since I think they're both top 10 QBs. I think Ryan is just scratching the surface so I'll say him. -- nm - David Feb 1, 15:27
      - As long as there are Danial Schnieder types in the league teams will over pay. Al Davis gave up how many first rounders for a QB that hadn't played - Bacon Feb 1, 14:34
  - To trade him -- nm - Bacon via Droid Feb 1, 14:28
- It's now obvious to anyone that the Packers still want me -- nm - Brett Favre's Ego Feb 1, 14:27
this is pretty okay and we should talk about it here: What Movies Make You Ignore Everything Else? -- (link) - the amanda nones Feb 1, 14:20 16 1
- Hunt for Red October did this to me the other night -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 1, 15:53 1
  - "One Ping Only" *changes channel* "What is it?" *rings in the water glass* ....... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 15:53

- Pixar's. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 1, 14:58
- Maybe too many to list. Anchorman, Zoolander, Die Hard, A Few Good Men. Tin Cup has been on lately a lot and I get sucked in. Field of Dreams, - pmb Feb 1, 14:52 1
  - We share several on this. Tin Cup is one that deserves a better reputation. -- nm - David Feb 1, 15:25
- Demolition Man, Beverly Hills Cop, My Cousin Vinny, Anchorman -- nm - TFox Feb 1, 14:40 1
  - ah! Lately Demolition Man has been the one I linger on. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 14:48
- There's one on the tip of my tongue that always captures me, but I can't remember what it is. - Beryllium Feb 1, 14:37 1
  - Spin a top on your desk to see if you're watching it now. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 1, 14:58

    - Same here. Love these types of films and I get sucked in easily. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 14:40
- The Birdcage and My Cousin Vinnie are good choices. -- nm - mara Feb 1, 14:22
Here's the VW Super Bowl ad, with a nod to last year's Darth Vader kid at the end. -- (link) - Mop (195 lbs) Feb 1, 14:16 [youtube] 4

  - yeah...there's no transition in that at all. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 1, 15:35
  - It's an unnecessary callback. Doesn't add anything to the product. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Feb 1, 14:25 1
    - "extended version" as in "you will only see tge cantina this ine time". -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud God Feb 1, 15:16
