My taxes are filed. I'd get much more back if I was dishonest. - ty97 Feb 13, 16:49 2
- I just got my 2009 maryland appeal back. we're down from owing them $600 to owing them $40 by their calcs. my calcs how that they owe me about that - amanda jones Feb 13, 17:03 1

- He must have had so much fun on the set of Magic Mike. -- nm - Dano Feb 13, 16:54
- i have a better shot with Matt Bomer than RC - pixitude Feb 13, 16:53
- NOOOOO!!!! -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 16:42
- it wasn't exactly secret, but good for him. - b. Feb 13, 16:36 5
  - you know - I think sometimes for actors - for year they felt that they had to not comment/confirm as it could limit their role offers? if that makes - JenBro Feb 13, 16:37 4
    - I think it still is sometimes, unfortunately. a lot depends on the person and how they deal with things, but I'm sure there are still tradeoffs.-- nm - b. Feb 13, 16:40 1
      - I could never be in the public eye - it would SUCK. -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:42
    - I think Ricky Martin had this issue. Most of his fan base were rabid sex starved women. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 16:38 1
      - He probably wanted a different out with them. - the liioulu with Feb 13, 16:49
pmb: A short making of Borderlands video that gives you the flavor of the game.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 13, 16:21 [youtube] 2
- That's really funny. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 16:30 1
  - that game has that level of humor throughout. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:32
kate upton is almost in a bikini on si's cover -- (link) - marcel Feb 13, 15:39 31
- You know what else she would be REALLY good at doing besides modeling? Running a dog at Westminster if the judge is male hetero into jiggly girls - - JenBro Feb 13, 16:33 2
  - or - peglegpete Feb 13, 16:34 1
    - right - they do have female dog judges I forgot about them :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:39
- nmb Marcel - JenBro Feb 13, 16:31 8
  - thanks so much! - marcel Feb 13, 16:35 7
    - yep - it needs to be fun - not a "job" getting the pics - and I wish I had more daylight hours to get them but days are getting longer here so my - JenBro Feb 13, 16:40
    - It's funny how much you see when you're *really* paying attention. I can't believe how many cigarette butts I'm seeing :/ - MojaveMeg Feb 13, 16:39 5
      - :D - if I were you I'd be taking pics of Schatzee when walking WAY more than you have! -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:40 3
        
        I try, but she's always got her back to me :) Finishes up looking like a grey puff-ball. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 13, 16:43 2
        
        Either that or she's *answering* the p-mail :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 13, 16:44 1
        
        :D (I have not heard it called that before ... so funny!) -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:49
      - Oh crap. Shatzee is smoking again? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 16:40
- the 84 Porizkova and the 97 Tyra Banks are the best imo. I almost forgot how hot Pestova's covers were. -- nm - CQ: Giving Love To All Feb 13, 16:11 2
  - Porizkova....ummmm -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 16:54
  - God I love tyra's cover. -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 16:15
- Jeez. How did they manage to make Upton look bad? She looks like a fat woman wearing a too-small bikini. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 15:58
- That's kind of an odd cover choice. I mean I get it shows a lot of skin, but it just looks like she put on her bikini wrong. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 15:41 14
  - I agree with you. Her boobs look like a fat frisbee. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:56
  - yeah. artistically it is a bad photo -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 15:45 3
    - Yes. Esquire photo from earlier today was better -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 15:48 2
      - It's true. - TFox Feb 13, 16:34
      - all I can see is the mad photoshopping of her crotchal region. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 15:52
  - If that is wearing her bikini wrong. I don't want her to wear it right. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 15:42 8
    - I mean, it's just lopsided. - pmb Feb 13, 15:44 7
      - I hope that's a bad scan because otherwise they used a photo with resolution on par with a 1970s Life magazine shot. -- nm - Max Feb 13, 16:30
      - I didn't notice. I like it -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 15:45 5
        
        Yeah, ST turned into a bunch of fuddy duddies so quick I didn't even notice. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Legend Feb 13, 15:55 3
        
        oh, speaking of the Halo coward! nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:57 1
        
        I knew it was gonna be a bad beat. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Legend Feb 13, 16:00
        
        we do have our standards :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 15:56
        
        if she was cross-eyed, you would not notice it :))) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 15:52
Speaking of Halo, those were two of the most brutal consecutive days we've ever had. - David Feb 13, 15:36 8
- yeah, even i had a game with less than 10 kills one of those nights. - tRuMaN Feb 13, 19:23
- I see how it is; I was on there both nights and no one was around or was Skyrim'ing... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 16:36 1
  - We always ditch new daddies. This is what really happened to bery. -- nm - David Feb 13, 16:46
- Conversely, my Saturday and Sunday morning gameplay was epic. I think I lost one game, was in the top group of every match. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 15:54
- I swear, it was like I had the regulators on, and was going at a different speed than everyone else. - groiny Feb 13, 15:44 3
  - Map knowledge always matters but on Penance, the difference in tactics is as significant as I've ever seen. - David Feb 13, 15:45 2
    - well, that map should be played in Custom Games a few times, as we used to do in Halo 3. - groiny Feb 13, 15:47 1
      - I am all for that. I forget the name of the other one but... - David Feb 13, 15:49
this one is great, miss baker and mr cook -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 15:32
PSA: Stephen King and Joe Hill have a new comic this week called Road Rage -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 15:31
Turntable? -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 15:09 3
- sorry bro, I am leaving in 20. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:15 2
  - That's cool. I missed my regular Friday afternoon spot. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 15:15 1
    - Hurrah! Saved by a_carne -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 15:23
woot. - tRuMaN Feb 13, 15:09 6
- their loss - wasn't meant to be - just figure it prolly had a nipple twisting boss and move on -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:34 1
  - L3! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 16:50
- Okay *now* I start wishing you good luck -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 15:36
- everything starts somewhere. best of luck -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 15:34
- just a warmup! you'll get positive responses! -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 15:28
- sorry man. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:25
Miss Piggy's Red Carpet show from the BAFTA's -- (link) - Remlik Feb 13, 15:05 4 1
- when did Gillian Anderson get an English Accent -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 15:52 3
  - her accent has always flipped between American and English, and she has lived there foryears now. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 15:55
  - when she grew up there. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:53 1
    - ah...I did not know that. Thanks Reagen! -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:06
Unless some of this 80s music is in reference to Jeffster you are all on punishment. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 13, 15:04
I'm taking the 6:11. I almost balance. what's $3,041.36 between friends? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 15:00 3
- a very nice pair of shoes -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 15:31
- 3,041.36 beejays? -- nm - DackJawson Feb 13, 15:01 1
  - "In a row?" -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 15:01
Look, groiny, how do you get good at something in real life? - nubby Feb 13, 14:59 68
- this is not practice, what are we talking about? practice? - groiny Feb 13, 15:16 55
  - Did you get good at sex by screwing only the women you loved? No. - nubby Feb 13, 15:55 4
    - wait ... Groiny's a sex god ... what WHAT? -- nm - JenBro Feb 13, 16:35 1
      - Yes -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 17:08
    - I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Well, not your word, but the word of whomever told you this. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 15:59
    - yes, but they were awake and fighting back. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:55
  - You're also the one who had an issue with building off of words in scrabble/WWF in a way that cheaply pluralizes them, right? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:20 49
    - see, in my mind, if I beat someone at something, I want it to feel legit. - groiny Feb 13, 15:26 37
      - FWIW, I think that's admirable. - David Feb 13, 15:33 35
        
        I think I'm a lightweight gamer. I just like to play the story (and don't need to work up to an "expert" level. I don't need to play all the little - pmb Feb 13, 15:40 19
        
        FWIW, CoD is well known for having mediocre campaigns. Online is why it is so beloved. -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:46 18
        
        I'm not surprised, but the online thing doesn't interest me so much. Are there better campaign games you'd recommend? -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 15:48 12
        
        Borderlands is a nice mesh of RPG and action shooter. It's also modular so you can play as much as you want in given installments. -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:50 8
        
        I'll have to give that one a try. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 15:55 2
        
        you can get the game of the year version for like 20 bucks now. - groiny Feb 13, 15:56 1
        
        very well worth it. QUite fun. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:09
        
        Borderlands is the only campaign I have ever even come CLOSE to finishing. - groiny Feb 13, 15:53
        
        it's also the funniest game I've ever played. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:52 3
        
        its good, not Portal good, but good. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 13, 19:20
        
        Have you played Portal/Portal 2? -- nm - David Feb 13, 16:12 1
        
        Because that game is your wheelhouse. -- nm - David Feb 13, 16:12
        
        I haven't gone looking - I tend to concentrate that sort of single-player gameplay on indie titles like Limbo and Braid -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:49
        
        Borderlands. Skyrim. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:49 1
        
        oof, right, I need to start Borderlands -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:49
        
        yes, this. I have not even finished the campaign in Black Ops, but love multiplayer - groiny Feb 13, 15:47 2
        
        I finished the campaign - I'd say it's one of the better CoD titles in terms of the campaign -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:48 1
        
        I loved the campaign. Quite fun. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 16:09
        
        Yes, this is true. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:47 1
        
        Huh. I'm surprised to read this. I have great affection for CoD. Perhaps I have a low bar for campaign 'quality'. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 16:23
        
        my determination and desire to be competetive drives me to get better. - groiny Feb 13, 15:37 14
        
        I'm the same way. I wish there were ways to improve sniping without playing team snipers. - David Feb 13, 15:39 13
        
        most sniper games, after about a minute, I switch to the pistol and go hunting. - groiny Feb 13, 15:40 12
        
        The brutal reality is that you and I are playing against people half and sometimes even a fourth of our age. - David Feb 13, 15:43 10
        
        I will be highly interested to play against my son in a few years. - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:45 8
        
        Intellect is the only reason I can hang in Halo. - David Feb 13, 15:47 7
        
        Your IM is sadly where I am. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Legend Feb 13, 16:05
        
        CoD has spoiled me on Halo, though. Halo just feels too squishy and boring by comparison. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:48 5
        
        it is a very different speed when you go back and play Halo. - groiny Feb 13, 15:50 4
        
        Yep ... I had a wicked round of Black Ops yesterday ... kitted out the sniper rifle at first, and ... - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:52 3
        
        I really would like to play with you one night. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:53 2
        
        I wish that's what she said -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:59 1
        
        you're not missing anything... -- nm - Mrs. Groin...s.i. Feb 13, 16:26
        
        it is more time related than age. - groiny Feb 13, 15:45
        
        heh, I think I prefer pistol sniping over regular sniping in Reach, so that sounds fun -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:41
      - yes, cheevo whores are a different class of player than a full-time practitioner - but even the cheevo whores can become experienced. - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:32
    - I do think that it is a shady way to play. - groiny Feb 13, 15:22 10
      - I disagree, I think scrabble has proven that it's a valid transformative tactic that you must defend against. - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:30 9
        
        this. It's a perfectly valid strategy, and it's your job not to let it happen. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 15:36
        
        I get it now, and try to keep it in mind when playing. - groiny Feb 13, 15:32 7
        
        A game is defined by its rules and construction, not by some arbitrary morality you choose to impose upon it to make yourself feel better. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 15:34 2
        
        huh? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:39 1
        
        He's talking about scrabble, just ignore him. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:40
        
        If you think that adding an "S" onto the word "QI" is the same as a modded controller, you really don't get it. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:33 3
        
        it is all in the mindset, and I am not saying that I am right. - groiny Feb 13, 15:34 2
        
        all games are strategy games. Connect Four is a strategy game. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:35 1
        
        (I'm not trying to knock your epiphany; I'm just trying to expand it) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:38
- But you're not enjoying the game the right way! -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:02 11
  - I did not exactly say that, I said you are taking some of the enjoyment out of it - groiny Feb 13, 15:17 8
    - ....that's pretty much exactly what you're saying. - Reagen Feb 13, 15:21 7
      - well this is true, if you want to smith daggers for 4 hours, have at it! nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:22 6
        
        The deciding factor that makes it not an exploit to me is that there is literally no way for my actions to affect your game. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:36 5
        
        true, until someone decides to brag about how they have everything leveled to 100. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:38 4
        
        It's the exact same philosophy as body-building; people choose a metric to concentrate on (ripped abs) and they grind it at the expense of all else. - Beryllium Feb 13, 15:40 3
        
        example being Spawn bragging about his Halo rank - groiny Feb 13, 15:42 2
        
        Spawn plays Halo? -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:44 1
        
        once he realized he was out classed he quit. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 15:45
  - Chris Brown, master of Skyrim -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:09 1
    - I won't lie and say I haven't considered saying "bring it on" to an entire town. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 15:10
I just died in your arms -- nm - Cutting Crew Feb 13, 14:58
I'm going back to the start. - nubby Feb 13, 14:55
