Remember my friend who suggested she visit me on my birthday last year then said that she wasn't looking for anything romantic (with anyone)? - Tim Apr 27, 11:20 32 1

  - ca-raay-zee -- nm - decline Apr 27, 11:32
  - I know that's not always true. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 11:30
  - I disagree with that generalization. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:30
- [deleted] 1
  - Wait, when I said I don't sleep with dudes, you realized I just meant you? Sorry! -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:26
- don't you dare take that as something being wrong with you. - b. Apr 27, 11:24 10
  - In addition, Tim, if you haven't replied yet, you should go with the fewest words possible. - David Apr 27, 11:26 8
    - just a simple "sounds good" -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 11:28
    - I like that. don't feed her with anything other than a light tossaway. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 11:27
    - better yet, n o reply. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:27 5
      - that might feed her more, thinking she got to him. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 11:29
      - no reply could be (weirdly) interpreted as being too hurt to reply - David Apr 27, 11:29 3

- seriously? - znufrii Apr 27, 11:24
- Did she also comment on a facebook pic recently, saying someone was cheating? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:24
- why would anyone send a message like this? - pixitude Apr 27, 11:23 7
  - because chicks are crazy -- nm - decline Apr 27, 11:27
  - Maybe she knew he was going to find out anyway, so thought she'd might as well tell him herself? -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 11:26
  - He needs to blow her out of the water. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:25
  - because she gets off on knowing he pines after her. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:24 3
    - This isn't even WoW-girl. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 11:24 2
      - What's up with her? -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:25
      - so, you have a type? - loosilu Apr 27, 11:25
- You know the strangest women. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:22
- She opened up a Match.com account to "make sure" she didn't want to date. yeah, right -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 11:22 1
  - right? what a loser. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 11:26
- sorry. sucks. -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 11:22
- "We don't talk much any more, but I thought I'd stop by to punch you in the mouth." - loosilu Apr 27, 11:21

- *still* fighting to get the forge back to level 5 -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:17 2
  - mine is recharged tomorrow morning so just nuked them to delay their assault a bit -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 11:17 1
    - Yeah, but mine is 24/7. Or rather was. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:19
BTW, I heard a fascinating NFL trivia question I'm going to post when Krusty and ML are around. - David Apr 27, 11:10 3
- You can wait for ML to be around as well but I'm lurking while I work. - Krusty Apr 27, 11:21
- oh no please. don't wait for them! - pixitude Apr 27, 11:11 1
  - It is! -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:16
"...and that is Babe" -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 11:08
Surreal experience last night. I went to a showing of Hip Hop and the LA Riots at the Grammy Museum. They had a panel q&a afterwards with John - jnine Apr 27, 11:06 2
- That's pretty disgusting. -- nm - Stephen Apr 27, 11:26

Barnes & Noble trip at lunch - Jovian Apr 27, 11:03 3
- Snow Crash is brilliant but I'm not sure I liked it per se. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:05 2
  - it's fun, but I liked The Diamond Age better. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 11:06 1
    - was reading the inside fold of that, that had my interest too. -- nm - Jovian Apr 27, 11:18
I too favour concussion grenades in our nation�s movie theaters -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 11:03

bonus hax chat q: hubby wants to quit his job to "travel" when wife objects, he said she doesn't want him to be happy - pixitude Apr 27, 10:59 24
- 1) give him a BJ. 2) tell him to quit his job. 3) take a trip together (more BJ). 4) come home and he looks for a new job -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 11:10 2
  - I sense a theme here. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 27, 11:19 1
    - mrs. kilbo stays pretty busy -- nm - pixitude Apr 27, 11:24
- He's checked out of the relationship. If young, he's immature, if older, he's having a mid-life crisis. - jnine Apr 27, 11:10
- Sounds like a guy in his mid 20's (or maybe he's been talking to a gal in her mid 20's). Otherwise, midlife crisis. Tell him to nut up - flavorize Apr 27, 11:08
- not enough information. what is their age? do they have kids, own a home? -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:05
- [deleted] 12
  - Like he would ever dream of actually asking that. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:08 10
    - [deleted] 8
      - seriously, this supposed life you have constructed for me is so detached from reality its hilarious, - znufrii Apr 27, 11:12 7

        IWWT -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:20
        
        but - znufrii Apr 27, 11:13 1
        
        You're dreaming. Aron Ralston didn't get EP and he cut his arm off. - Roger More Apr 27, 11:18
    - (and like she would need advice on what she would do.) -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:08
  - oh, shut up. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 11:07
- Divorce lawyer on line two. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:02
- He clearly needs to go on walk-about. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:01
- well he's certainly not happy with you! Let him "travel" and then change the locks behind him -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 11:01
- who's he going to be "travelling" with, if you're still working, hmmm? -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 11:01 1
  - and he's absolutely right - znufrii Apr 27, 11:05
CISPA passes the house, but I don't think it will make it through the Senate -- (link) - amoxy Apr 27, 10:55
[deleted] 25
- Nowhere close. Way under. I don't think I've had any this week. -- nm - Krusty Apr 27, 11:19
- I only eat a couple servings per day. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:06
- I was a vegan for almost a year and still did not eat enough fresh veggies -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 11:05
- Not nearly as much as I should, or so that wife of mine keeps telling me! heh - Stephen Apr 27, 11:04
- easily enough -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 11:02
- I get a bit more than the recommended amount every day. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 10:58
- 90% of the time, my lunch is a salad. Dinner, I add a couple veggies, but I'm not huge into the veggie scene -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:57
- Trying to, drinking a glass of V-8 every morning -- nm - amoxy Apr 27, 10:56 1
  - Do you think drinking one of those new V8 flavors with veggies and fruit would count towards my daily need? - Krusty Apr 27, 11:27
- on average, close. -- nm - b. Apr 27, 10:55
- Yes, but probably nowhere close to the recommended amount of 8-10 servings a day. (Who eats that much of anything?) -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:55 11
  - a "serving" in this case is small. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 10:59 9
    - plus where did you get 8-10? last I heard it was 5. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:00 8
      - 1/2 a cup of cooked vegetables, or 1 cup of salad -- (link) - Roger More Apr 27, 11:01 7
        
        I had three servings just at lunch. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:01 6
        
        I had zero for breakfast (yoghurt and cereal), one for lunch (lentils, with goat cheese, walnuts and arugula). Haven't decided on dinner yet, but it - Roger More Apr 27, 11:06 5
        
        once again, don't know where you're getting the 10. USDA says 5. Anyway, I had a big salad plus sliced tomato for lunch. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:06 4
        
        From the link in my post above -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 11:07 3
        
        oh. darn healthy Canadians. well I will get my 7 today. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 11:08 2
        
        like we'd use your food pyramid. I heard it's sponsored by Nestle, Kellogg's and the US Sugar Board! -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 11:13 1
        
        well, it was ditched several yaers ago anyway, replaced by the dinner plate. - loosilu Apr 27, 11:18
  - This. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 10:56
- I think I probably eat close to the recommended amount during the week. Maybe less so on weekends. - TFox Apr 27, 10:55
- A lot lately. - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:54
- BWAHAHAHAAA!!!! - znufrii Apr 27, 10:54
Probably a little late but interesting first round of NFL Draft. What were the Rams thinking? And I just have this sneaking - Capstern Apr 27, 10:50 19
- McShay just explained it, pretty well. They rolled the dice, by moving back, twice. Twice got burned by the WR they wanted being taken 1 pick, before -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:54 2
  - We should keep in mind that's ESPN speculation. It wouldn't surprise me if Jeff Fisher wanted d-line at the top. - David Apr 27, 10:59
  - Yeah rams have that kind of luck but man there were better options -- nm - Capstern Apr 27, 10:56
- the 29-year old QB who has never taken a snap in the NFL - pixitude Apr 27, 10:53 13
  - I find the age to not be an issues that just speaks to longevity. And with the new rookie salary things thats so much less a risk financially - Capstern Apr 27, 10:56 12
    - They should have traded down to get him. No toher team would have even looked at him for another dozen or so picks, if even then. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:05 3
      - They are in fact the team that was unlucky because they wanted to take Kendall Wright at 22. With him off the board, they panicked and reached. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:06 2
        
        Like I meantioned last night, talking to Bob Lung (big Browns fan) and he was speechless they took him. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:22 1
        
        He's fine as a late second/early third. Picking him at #22 and trading away the competition is car-razy. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:24
    - The last three older QBs who went in the draft were Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson and Chris Weinke. In the NFL, age is not in fact nothin but a number -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:01 5
      - I always hate these comparissions. Each person is differnt from the other - past performance is very unlikely to dictate future results - Capstern Apr 27, 11:02 4
        
        Alternately, those who don't learn from history... -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:04 3
        
        Yes but each situation is unique (53 players), coach, team, opponents, systems, etc - Capstern Apr 27, 11:14 1
        
        Systems are unique. What is not is player behavior. QBs in particular need time to acclimate. - David Apr 27, 11:17
        
        Are doomed to get married again? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:07
    - i don't think anyone in the AFC North is worried that Brandon Wheedon is going to beat them with his arm - pixitude Apr 27, 10:58 1
      - This will come down to if the RB is the stud everyone thinks he is and - Capstern Apr 27, 11:03
- They were thinking they'd like to get four starters in the top 50 picks and they are almost certain to do so. -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:51 1
  - Shoot at this rate, they'll have an entire new team in 2-3 years. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 10:53

It's always fun when the boss asks me to draft an angry letter to opposing counsel and says "and you make sure to tell them they can go f-themselves" - Stephen Apr 27, 10:45 3
- He may also know that you're pretty good at blowing people off... - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 27, 10:52
- You should do one of those things where you spell out G O F U C K Y O U R S E L F using the first letter of each sentance -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 10:46

  - unless you're the bear -- nm - pixitude Apr 27, 10:42
- Those kind of cameos are what got Baldwin some comedy cred. I hope Hamm gets a shot to do a comedy series, for his next show. I think he'd be great - flavorize Apr 27, 10:38 11
  - Jon Hamm is going to go right from Mad Men to movie star at this point, won't he? -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 10:39 10
    - You know, maybe. I don't see him as an "action hero" type. Not really romcom material either. I'm not sure what his movie niche would be -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:41 9
      - Nothing where he smiles. I agree that doing so makes him look like a superdork. -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 10:53
      - Hard-driven cop with something to prove. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:43 7
        
        did that in The Town - and very well I might add - JenBro Apr 27, 11:18
        
        (Though if they don't get him into Anchorman 2, someone's screwed up big time) -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:45 5
        
        Totally. That would be great! -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:52
        
        I'd love for him to do a Remington Steele type character. Spy, who looks good, but is not a spy. Twist it into more of a comedy. -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:51 3
        
        Live-action Archer! -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:53 1
