- Maybe your baby ate the dingo. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:43

  - [deleted] 3
    - There is a certain belief that the world has little to offer you. - con_carne Feb 2, 10:53
    - even so it still takes some level of imagination to think of yourself as someone who goes out and *does* those things -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 10:50 1
      - [deleted]
- Life is amazing. I don't understand constant boredom either. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 2, 10:39
- generally if i am 'bored', it's sort of because i've chosen to be, if that makes sense. like i purposely choose to do nothing and lounge around for - Andie Feb 2, 10:37 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - never been bored. was restive a couple times when I was a pre-teen. that's about it. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 10:45

Garage report: Minor frame damage to a cage on the underside of my car, causing car to pull right (thus, I have to steer left). Guess cost of repair. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:25 19
- $250 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:27 14
  - Lower still. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:28 13
    - $31.25 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:28 12
      - $80. Wheel alignment should do the job. Double that if the bushings need to be replaced. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:31 11
        
        that's rather unbelievable -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 10:39 6
        
        Best mechanics in town. If you go to the dealership, they'll take you for every penny you're worth. I could file a claim... - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:41 5
        
        but ... "frame damage" ... and it's just a wheel bearing? oh heck - I know nothing about cars anyway - as long as you're safe :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 11:10
        
        I think it varies from one dealership to another. We take ours to the dealer and i find them pretty honest and reasonable prices. - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:48 1
        
        I certainly wouldn't paint with a wide brush. Just saying that our dealership bleeds you dry. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:51
        
        I think my wife finally learned to avoid the dealership... - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:47 1
        
        To be fair, they had to send away to Seattle for the manufacturer approved gloves. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:49
        
        Sweet! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:33
        
        that's cool. I envisioned something more serious and time-consuming. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:32 2
        
        That's what kept me up last night. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:38
        
        Me too. Nice that it wasn't. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:33
- how'd that happen? ($1200?) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:26 1
  - Got hit in the right-rear tire turning onto a side street yesterday. Cosmetically, almost invisible. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:27
- $2200 -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:26 1
  - I should add that I was incredibly relieved by the estimate. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:27
ST Poll: It apears UMD has narrowed down the choices for its big spring concert, who would you choose? - MDH Feb 2, 10:23 16
- Skynrd! -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 2, 10:26
- The bullet -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 10:25 4
  - But of those four, probably Flo Rida. He's got some fun songs and should work for a college environment. - ty97 Feb 2, 10:30 3
    - They need Ke$ha as an option. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 10:34 2
      - Probably outside their budget. She'd cost far more to book than the four options listed. -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 10:35 1
        
        Yeah, she might be now actually. She was $50-75k mid 2011. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 10:37
- Other by far. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:25
- Isn't it a free concert paid out of student activity fees (assuming it's like PSU's)? I don't they should be breaking the bank on that. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:25 2
  - It was historically free, but some years they have $5 cover. The budget for the music act is usually around $80k. There are better artists for that. -- nm - MDH Feb 2, 10:34
  - (I don't think...) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:25
- BoB!!! -- nm - colin Feb 2, 10:24
- who, who, who, and who? -- nm - znufrii Feb 2, 10:24 4
  - Seriously? -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 10:26 2
    - I recognize one of the names, but couldn't tell you anything about him or recognize any of his songs - znufrii Feb 2, 10:28 1
      - I know of Akon and Flo Rida but not their songs. I did hear one Flo Rida track a few weeks ago and it wasn't the worst thing I've ever heard. - Krusty Feb 2, 10:32
  - this -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 10:24
Facebook's moving hella slow for me right now. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:22 5
- Gawker says it's down for many. They are probably doing a mass update. -- nm - lileve Feb 2, 10:49 1
  - Hey guys! I've got an idea! Let's do major system updates just a day after we announce our IPO! -- nm - Facebook Feb 2, 10:53
- if they use typekit at all, it could be adobe's fault -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 10:31
- IPO is gonna bomb. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Legend Feb 2, 10:25 1
  - Seriously! Who uses Facebook anymore, anyway? Am I right? -- nm - Google+ Feb 2, 10:26

I have to admit, I'm surprised that almost 2 months later, you all are still discussing Skyrim. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:16 10
- I think it's kinda cool ... I can almost feel like I'm actually playing it myself :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 10:37
- Like Krusty said, some of us got a late start to it... - Stephen Feb 2, 10:30 3
  - I would like to see a video of what the game play is actually like. - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:46 2
    - There are bunches on YouTube. -- nm - mara Feb 2, 10:47 1
      - Although maybe not with the kind of detail you want. -- nm - mara Feb 2, 10:51
- I just started playing last week. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:24
- that's cause they havent started playing SWTOR yet - Jovian Feb 2, 10:20 1
  - $15/month for one game? no thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:44

ST Poll: On the evil scale, where does using a company login for Comcast to access premium iPad content lie? - oblique Feb 2, 10:15 4
- 7 -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 11:02
- 1. You want Comcast content, you're a Comcast customer, but you're not on Comcast's network? Then log your ass in. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:52
- Comcast *is* evil, so I'm pretty sure screwing them is a counter-good. So like 2. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:17 1
  - I may be unclear on what kilbo's asking. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 2, 10:53

asset protection poll: which adult STer would you adopt if you had to transfer your property to avoid a judgment? -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 2, 10:09 9
- either Pippy or Amoxy - possibly Krusty/Colin - because on polls and stuff they tend to be very similar to me -- nm - JenBro Feb 2, 10:50
- you. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 2, 10:50
- pmb -- nm - prayformojo Feb 2, 10:28
- hellokitty - Dr.Vermin Feb 2, 10:22
- Max. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:15 2
  - that's like adopting a gremlin - encyclopedia pixie Feb 2, 10:30 1
    - As long as he throws intern parties and I'm invited. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 2, 10:41
- landbeck -- nm - mara Feb 2, 10:10 1
  - Woot! -- nm - landbeck Feb 2, 10:44
From the Groundhog Day stuff, if you look close in the shots of the town you can still see the "Woodstock Jeweler" sign hangning above one store - oblique Feb 2, 10:03

  - I have seen 2 - Harry Potter and GWTDT -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 10:31
- Nice to see one of my films on the list, Tilda was robbed, but it's hardly Academy fare. -- nm - LMS Feb 2, 10:13 1
  - [deleted]
- Very well done. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 10:10

  - paralysis and slow potions. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 09:56
  - I used to fight giants, until I took an arrow in the knee. And the heart. -- nm - Wander si Feb 2, 09:50
  - Giants do not level up with the player; their levels seem to be static at somewhere between level 20 and 30. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 2, 09:47
  - *punches reagen in the groin when he's not looking, points to krusty* -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Feb 2, 09:45
  - depends on your tactics. if you want to try to hit them with the bow and arrow from a hidden spot, now. - tRuMaN Feb 2, 09:44 6
    - the best way I found (which was totally random) was to get a dragon and giant in the same place - decline Feb 2, 09:47 3
      - I had that happen earlier but I didn't see the giant and he survived while I killed the dragon. - Krusty Feb 2, 09:54 2
        
        must have been a small giant. or was he wearing camo? -- nm - sycor Feb 2, 10:00 1
