A working replica of Google's 1980s search BBS. -- (link) - mara Apr 18, 09:33
LYC: *Mock Draft Update* Here's who I've chosen so far - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:27
I'm pretty sure this is what will happen to me in Halo using the Rocket Launcher -- (link) - oblique Apr 18, 09:26 [youtube] 5
- I have no idea how that happened. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:27 4
  - I believe the hog fires and that's the explosion you see because the airship doesn't blow up -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 09:31 2
    - Yeah, I'm freaking Zapruder-ing every frame of that video. Something's not right. A 2nd shooter? - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:36
    - hmmm, maybe not. It really does look like two quick rocket fires -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 09:35
  - Something wrong going on there. No way you get two rockets off in that quick succession. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:28
Repeat: Last night's New Girl was awesome. - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:21 17
- It's like Happy Endings in that the cast members are funnier than the show itself most of the time. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:24 12
  - Imagine how it would be without Zooey in it? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:25 6
    - until they toned her down I was not much of a fan. - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:29 2
      - To their credit, they have done a great job rebuilding on the fly after the 8 really lousy episodes. - David Apr 18, 09:35 1
        
        it's a miracle of writing in the Internet Age that they got the chance and managed to run with it. - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:37
    - I love that she did an iphone commercial. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:26 2
      - Two ukuleles and a banjo in her living room! Just like ours! - Ser Vermyn Apr 18, 09:27 1
        
        No, she will not. Did you see that place? It was a pit. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:30
  - I am not so sure, I think Wayans carries Happy Endings most of the time. - groiny Apr 18, 09:25 4
    - Imagine how it would be if Wayans had stayed in New Girl? But then, we wouldn't have Happy Endings. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:25 3
      - The guy they replaced him with is very funny. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:33 1
        
        I'm surprised how quickly they move the narrative in this show. - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:38
      - must be nice for him not to have to regret leaving one for the other. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:26
- More and more, I look forward to the cuts of Nick just riffing one-liners over the end credits. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 18, 09:22 3
  - I wonder how much of the dialogue is ad lib. So much of it is over-talking that it's hard to imagine it's scripted. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:26
  - is that a regular thing? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:23 1
    - The last few episodes, anyway. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 18, 09:26
Ted Nugent will meet with the Secret Service Thursday as a followup to his incendiary comments about Obama... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:16 9
- I swear Ted is a folk hero here in TX - hes awesome fun -- nm - Capstern Apr 18, 09:26 2
  - or an obnoxious dimwitted dickhole pederast. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:30 1
    - I actually find him funny and interesting. I dont necessairly subscribe toall of his beliefs but hes interesting -- nm - Capstern Apr 18, 09:43
- i would expect a more civil level of discourse from the writer of "Wang Dang Poon Tang" -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 09:22
- Yeah, it's a toss up as to whether he gets out of this without handcuffs. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:19
- I'm gonna charge you for this meeting, but you can just leave it on the nightstand. You guys are familiar with that, right? - T.Nugent Apr 18, 09:18
- This should go well -- nm - eag Apr 18, 09:17 2
  - it'll be a PR event. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:18 1
    - Beer on the White House lawn. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:18
Sort of Hump Day: I was talking with some of the employees at the theater the other day and since they are all early 20s drugs, sex, etc come up - sycor Apr 18, 09:13 30
- wow, I guess I am just old fashioned. I mean, I've had my one night stands before, but all that changed. SUPER TMI inside so you have been warned - sycor Apr 18, 09:26 6
  - just because it's an average thing, doesn't mean it's an 'every case thing'. any timeline that feels right for you is fine. -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 09:30 3
    - I know. It just shocked me. And I'm not looking to date. I'm hoping I won't have to deal with it. But it the future is uncertain so of course its - sycor Apr 18, 09:34 2
      - [deleted] 1

- First date. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:16 10
  - self satisfaciton does not count. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:17 9
    - I'm sure the second date is fine for those of you are less seductive than me. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:18 8
      - I got bored with first date sex pretty fast. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:19 6
        
        I don't get bored with it so much, as much as wondering how many first dates they have had this week.nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:21 3
        
        *ding* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:23
        
        Sloppy thirds? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 09:21 1
        
        only on wednesdays. - groiny Apr 18, 09:22
        
        see groiny's post above -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:19 1
        
        That is not sex. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:22

  - [deleted]
  - [deleted]
  - yeah, in your 20s, within a month. -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 09:16 2
    - And, in your 30s, within a day. -- nm - Andie si Apr 18, 09:22 1
      - i am stunned this wasn't Dignan. - Andie Apr 18, 09:32
  - 2 dates. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:15 1
    - If you define a "date" as taking them somewhere and spending money on them, I agree. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:17
On this date in 2000... - David Apr 18, 09:07 10
- OMG, I'm sorry. I just laughed out loud. That's epic. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:23
- be honest though, would you stop shooting? I wouldn't. - mafic Apr 18, 09:13 5
  - To bomb people with disintegrating wieners? -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:17 4
    - you say that like it wouldn't be fun. -- nm - mafic Apr 18, 09:32
    - FEAR MY DISINTEGRATING WIENER EJECTIONS!!! -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:24 2

Anyone else watching America's Best Dance Crew? new season - and I love the Step boys - Epiphany Apr 18, 09:07
Be warned the meteor is coming. I have no conference calls today, my email is caught up and my staff are all here and working. Call Bruce Willis and - Capstern Apr 18, 09:03 6
- And Aerosmith -- nm - eag Apr 18, 09:09 1
  - and a supply of animal cookies -- nm - Capstern Apr 18, 09:10
- of course your work is going great - Epiphany Apr 18, 09:06 3
  - Well then we need to get you a new yob! I could fire someone and you could come work for me :) -- nm - Capstern Apr 18, 09:07 2
    - You'd fire me for not know the 1st thing about Excel spreadsheets! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 18, 09:08 1
      - Well that is a problem :) If our parallel but opposite thing holds true - lil pip - Capstern Apr 18, 09:09
LIR Arrested Development. I will get streaming back the month that happens. Then cancel it again. But its worth getting just for those 10 episodes -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:02
Ken Jennings on Twitter: Until I buy a color pack with brown in it, I'm just going to be a huge racist on Draw Something sorry -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:58
Why don't Americans walk more? -- (link) - znufrii Apr 18, 08:53 34
- Wow, that article is tedious. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:31
- aaaand... the word 'crisis' is officially fucked out. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 18, 09:26
- Because we like our cul-de-sacs -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:21
- L5, S1, that's why. -- nm - David Apr 18, 09:08
- [deleted] 3
  - like anything you have to look at the marginal benefit of changing one's behavior - znufrii Apr 18, 09:25
  - I usually agree with this, especially for customers at the theater. But then I think, every little bit helps. Walking some is better than nothing. -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:05 1
    - [deleted]
- Interesting observations on escalators and escalator-walking in Part 2... - znufrii Apr 18, 09:03 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - you dismiss it as silly, and then procede to explain how you illustrate their observation perfectly. :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 09:28
- drill baby drill! -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 08:57
- because I live a 30 minute drive from my job that's why. And my job is not in the best part of town, so I wouldn't live closer either. -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 08:56 13
  - but, there are other places to walk besides to and from work. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 08:57 12
    - and I do plan to start walking and working out once I get moved. Just to get out of the apartment. The depression is already setting in and I hate it. - sycor Apr 18, 09:00 11
      - Join a gym. Get ripped. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:03 10
        
        gym ... xbox - oblique Apr 18, 09:11 2
        
        You wanna date my avatar. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:18
        
        it's a trap! -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 09:14
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I used to love getting angry and working out. It just helps you *smash* it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:05 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        this is my hope. The apartment complex I'm looking has a pretty facility. Not as good as an actual gym of course, but pretty good. - sycor Apr 18, 09:08 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        But less... scenery. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:25
        
        Awesomesauce. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 09:10

- I only got one good knee, for fucks sakes! nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:55 3
  - You should start using knee pads. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:55 2
    - Only one is bad so he must be Tebowing a lot -- nm - Bacon, via droid Apr 18, 08:59 1
      - Kilblowing -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 09:01
- Because we are fat and lazy. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:54
- Duh! 'Cause we're lazy? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:54
"...I'll never put on a life jacket again" - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:53 2
- "lifeless eyes, like a doll's eyes...." nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:17 1
  - and his expression is just that... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 09:18
Forget 2012, it's time for 2016 presidential polling! Hillary up big in the Democratic field, Christie on the Rep side. -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:52 1
- *lays $100 on Big Hill* -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 09:32
LIR: tru. Since I've been working hard to get killed less, the difference I think for me using a sniper or rocket is that I'm not dying as much - oblique Apr 18, 08:52 7
- for you, on that map, I would try to play in a support role. - groiny Apr 18, 08:54 6
  - you'll have to show me the plasma pistol. I don't think I've ever seen that on that map -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:56 5
    - It's on the ramp, in the base going to the top level - Truman Apr 18, 08:59 4
      - I get frustrated when I plasma pistol the other teams tank, but no one is there to finish it off. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 09:17 1
        
        Yeah, concentrated dmr-fire would kill it, but we aren't that coordinated -- nm - Truman Apr 18, 09:20
      - I feel like I'm a waste if I'm sitting back - oblique Apr 18, 09:05 1
        
        Don't ever feel like that - Truman Apr 18, 09:12
ST, do you have any recommendations for a reasonably-priced, quality video camera? - kelly Apr 18, 08:51 11
- Any good consumer digital camera or DSLR will do. Don't get a dedicated consumer video camcorder. Do they still make those? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:55 5
  - I disagree. I love my DSLR for video but not for general purpose shooting of events/family. The lack of autofocus is a killer -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 09:07 2
    - They've started putting auto-focus into D-SLR in the last couple of years. But, yeah. Duh, no auto-focus, no buy. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:24 1
      - another reason why you need an external microphone (like a hotshoe mic) - the autofocus mechanism on the lenses is loud -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 09:25
  - If you go the DSLR-video route, you also need a better microphone. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 09:00 1
    - Yeah, audio is always overlooked. But some of the best videos on Vimeo use a D-SLR and these cams usually have great accessories. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 09:05
- basically most decent still cameras have pretty good video these days. -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 08:54
- Is this just for family and misc things? Honestly, my best recommendation is to use an iphone. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:53 2
  - I'd tend to agree. My wife uses her iPhone far more than any other camera/recorder we have and we have both a Canon - oblique Apr 18, 09:08
  - Yeah, baby stuff. -- nm - kelly Apr 18, 08:53
- I'm always partial to Canon and pretty much everything is SD card now -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:52
Cabin in the Woods thought (spoilers) - MDH Apr 18, 08:49 5
- In our office (spoils) - LMS Apr 18, 09:13
- That would be great. (spoils) - Inigo Apr 18, 08:55
- heh. I had thought of the one and the same as well (spoils) - Jovian Apr 18, 08:53
- funny! -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:51
- I like it! -- nm - sycor Apr 18, 08:50
