      - field *trip*, rather. -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 12:29
- Yeah, terrible pic. It basically looks normal size there, with perhaps an oversized bun. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 12:11 3
  - Ha ha, no. That is not a normal size patty by any stretch. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 12:13 2
    - I agree with Homer; the perspective and lack of visual references impedes the awe that should be oozing from the picture -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:15 1
      - You mean besides the eight f*cking slices of tomato on it? -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 12:20

Gotta love AK. Grizzly escapes near Anchorage, but officials keep it quiet for fear of a public reaction... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 12:02 7
- I can see that, very easily. -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 12:37
- what could possibly go wrong? -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 12:04 5
  - I am guilty of deliberately getting way too close to black bears in the past. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 12:06 3
    - I've been on the other side of the door from a black bear ... - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:14
    - he could cover that in a few seconds, dummy. - loosilu Apr 12, 12:06 1
      - Still plenty of time to outrun my 'friend'. - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 12:45
  - Get Liam Neeson - eag t-15 Apr 12, 12:05
I don't think Harrelson is a movie sidekick, and I'm reluctant to call Danson a tv star. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:00 22
- Woody has a strong screen presence and great character...but not enough to open. Ted deserves TV star just for Cheers which he was tent pole for 10y? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 12, 12:06 18
  - But that's been almost 20 years ago. And he hasn't carried a show since Becker. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:10 17
    - Damages, Bored to Death, CSI. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:12 16
      - I referenced them earlier. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:20 2
        
        Do you think his paycheck amount was 3rd or 4th on Damages? 3rd on Bored to Death? -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:22 1
        
        I don't know about Damages, as I've never seen it. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:31
      - Glenn Close was Damages and it barely survives as it's ratings suck, Bored to Death had 3 "stars" and was cancelled as it's ratings sucked - Beaker Apr 12, 12:16 2
        
        ::looks at Ted's paychecks:: -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:16 1
        
        He gets a lot of them, because he does a lot of episodes. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:29
      - Not helping. -- nm - David Apr 12, 12:14 9
        
        Ah, I see what he is saying and disagree. He has had a pretty consistent series of successful tv shows. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:15 8
        
        Only if you exclude his failures. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:33
        
        let's not equate successful when the word might better be used is critially acclaimed...cause the ratings are baaaad for all but CSI -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 12:17 6
        
        And he is in no way responsible for CSI's popularity. -- nm - David Apr 12, 12:25 3
        
        "1993 poll: bigger post-Cheers succcess " -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:26 2
        
        If the poll was done then, Woody would have been the obvious answer. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:38
        
        Damson wouldn't even win that. -- nm - David Apr 12, 12:35
        
        A multy year run on television is a success. Especially a 6 year run. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:21 1
        
        Sure, but that was 8 years ago. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 12:40
- agreed. I'm on team Woody -- nm - CQ: Hot Tubbing It Apr 12, 12:05

as long as the "ST Improvements" don't include avatars, I'm all for it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 11:51 26
- *This* is why you fail. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:10
- I'd pay if it meant the Subject field could be multiple lines and show all characters - Guigue Apr 12, 12:07 11
  - ah, like the way twitter does the twat box ... yeah, that's a good idea -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:13 9
    - The what box? -- nm - mara Apr 12, 12:21 5
      - Anyway. Sorry if I offended, I was just being cheeky, may have crossed a line. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:29
      - isn't that the past tense of "tweet"? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:24 1

      - aka The Mara Box. -- nm - steve114 si Apr 12, 12:23 1
        
        Twat are you saying? -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:24
    - Really it's my only "complaint" about ST. Since we use the Subject box so much, being able to see everything inside it would be great -- nm - Guigue Apr 12, 12:15 2
      - Indeed, 'specially on phones -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 12:16
      - Yeah, that has been my number one request (besides avatars). -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 12:16

- If ST had avatars I doubt I'd be active. -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 12:01 2
  - i could handle fixed size (like gmail when you mouse over) avatars i guess. you know what i hate automatic FOOTERS in messages. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 12:02 1
    - My go-to for those has always been: "I am serious...and don't call me Shirley" -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 12:03
- let's Orange the place up a little -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 12:00
- Unicorn avatars! -- nm - Bacon, via droid Apr 12, 11:52 3
  - ... with double rainbows! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:55
  - You just became Znu's best friend -- nm - eag t-15 Apr 12, 11:55
  - C'mon, she said....Let's go to Candy Mountain, she said .. it'll be a great time ... -- nm - Charlie Apr 12, 11:54
- I already have plans in the works to improve the codebase to allow avatars. - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:52 2
  - Oh, and I suppose I should point out that the reason I haven't added any new features lately is ... - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:53 1
    - ... you have a full-time job and a wife and a baby; and you like us, you really like us, but, since we're mostly quite happy with things as they are, - b. Apr 12, 12:00
let's guess - i, technically, get off work at 5:30, but i could sneak out at 5:15 pretty easily. Titanic starts at 5pm - Andie Apr 12, 11:49 9
- Probably, but if it's an "Imax Experience," there will be a lot less trailers -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 11:57 1
  - it's not. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 11:58
- can you buy the ticket online now to save that time? -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 11:54 1
  - oh, definitely -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 11:55
- Missing the first 5-10 minutes of it you aint missing much -- nm - eag t-15 Apr 12, 11:51
- the first five minutes is just that old chick with Bill Paxton anyway. -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 11:50 3
  - oh that's right. i was thinking it started with Kate looking up from the big hat (can you tell i haven't seen it in 10 years?) -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 11:52

    - "It's like Titanic and Mission to Mars wrapped in one!" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:51

Do not click if you are eating. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 12, 11:47 5
- ah! A friend points out a flaw. They refer to bacteriophages as "viruses that kill other viruses", and then cite listeriosis as an example. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:58 2
  - yeah, then it would be a virophage. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 12:02
  - yeah, I caught that too... -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 11:59
