The only reason I'd go to Fathom's This American Life Live! is to see just who would show up -- (link) - con_carne Apr 27, 14:30

        wiki agrees. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 14:15
Poll: Have you ever had your phone submerged? (In the toilet, pool, puddle, etc?) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 27, 13:49 10
- every single one I've had I've had to fish out with a leaf rake -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 14:25
- Yup. Turned it off quick, removed battery, stuck it in a bag of rice for a couple days = no problems. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 14:08 1
  - Same here. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 14:09
- yup, luckily we kept the box, packaged it up and returned to Walmart -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 14:01
- No, but I dropped my boyfriend's phone into a pool of water on top of a waterfall. I was supposed to be taking a picture of him jumping off. Luckily - jnine Apr 27, 13:59

  - I'll tell what I did do, I lost my grip on a not so old Mamiya 645 Pro with Soft focus lens and dunked it in the stream, finished the portrait but cam - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:54
- Obviously, yes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 27, 13:49

  - It was pre-business transaction. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 27, 13:55 2
    - I can think of three options for what this means. None of them are good. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 14:06
    - if it was a six hundred dollar phone I might not dither thinking about reaching in a porta potty at the end of a weeklong festival -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:58
- Technically, it did not *have to* happen. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:46 1
  - True. But putting that aside, on a long enough timeline and averaging out, everybody will have one cellphone in their lifetime take a bath. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 27, 13:48
- go to apple store and get sudden urge to upgrade cause the new stuff is so cool -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:44
Movie rights to weird Winchester House sold - ceregon Apr 27, 13:38 1
- Yeah, that won't be much of a movie unless it's fiction. They might as well do one on the Mystery Spot. -- nm - jnine Apr 27, 14:01
DMM - 5 year engagement - the lucky one - mirror mirror -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 13:35 8
- Cabin in the Woods -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:37
- go drinking -- nm - peglegpete Apr 27, 13:37 4
  - Hee I just finished drinking -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 13:40 3
    - no you didn't. you are making sense and no spelling errors -- nm - peglegpete Apr 27, 13:41 2
      - Hee -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:45
      - lOL see my scan below ;) -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 13:43
- of those? 5 year engagement, no question. -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 13:37 1
  - it does not look funny. at all. (to me anyway) -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 14:30
Speaking of music... Turntable? -- nm - Qale Apr 27, 13:15 3
- link? -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:17 2
  - http://turntable.fm/slackertalk_v2 -- (link) - mara Apr 27, 13:20 1
    - tanks -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:21
I totally should ignore the housecleaning I need to do and brew more beer this weekend, shouldn't I? - znufrii Apr 27, 13:14 39
- technically, isn't brewing a form of house cleaning anyway? I mean brew a skanky batch and you'll become ocd clean in the kitchen -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:35
- cleaning up the house & brewing area after brewing will save you time. -- nm - peglegpete Apr 27, 13:32 2
  - I think several of you overestimate znu's brewing facilities. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:37 1
    - I am thinking time mangement. Why get everything out 2 times to clean? and some areas will be common & done 2 times -- nm - peglegpete Apr 27, 13:39
- Beer first - others second - self last - Loosi Dangerfield si Apr 27, 13:31 4
  - Sfan!!! Sorry Loosi - i have mo idea how long ago that auto jic was from! Heh -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 13:37 2
    - phew, I thought I was dumb for not getting it. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:38 1
      - Heh - nope just me :) *makes drinky drinky motion*. :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 13:51
  - heh. well, I wouldn't clean BEFORE brewing, since it makes a huge mess. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:33
- yes. don't rack the IPA yet, they take longer. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:16 15
  - well, I need to rack it if I'm going to brew - znufrii Apr 27, 13:21 14
    - oh. Well, buckets are cheap. You can't be sure on the IPA unless you get a reading. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:23 13
      - fwiw, we had at least two IPAs that made bottle bombs because they got stuck. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:23 12
        
        good to know. - znufrii Apr 27, 13:24 11
        
        and a bottle bomb doesn't mean the cap blows off. The glass bursts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:25 10
        
        someone at a redhook brewery died when a keg blew -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:27 8
        
        ooof -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:28
        
        like last week -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:28 6
        
        oh wow, you're not joking. that sucks. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 27, 13:31 5
        
        i would have thought the kegs had some safety valve like a water heater or steam kettle pressure cooker -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:39 4
        
        I'm not familiar with kegs at all. I know a carboy can explode if the vent gets clogged, and that is ugly. - loosilu Apr 27, 13:40 3
        
        can be any size, really - znufrii Apr 27, 13:48
        
        around here a carboy is just a large glass jug consumers can have filled at a brew pub -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:46 1
        
        that's a growler. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 14:07
        
        yes, I know. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:26

  - It does the chores, or else it gets the whip again. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:19
- no -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:15 8
  - still no fun. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:16 7
    - obviously. or perhaps you are looking at this wrong. - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:17 6
      - (feather) -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:18 5
        
        kinky -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:28 4
        
        Can't use "stick or carrot" with znu (you don't want to know why), so we go with "whip or feather". -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:32
        
        not really - znufrii Apr 27, 13:30 2
        
        what if the feather was still on the chicken? -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 13:31 1
        
        ask Spawn, he's the expert. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:37
- Depends. Do you want the whip, or do you want the feather? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:15 2
  - dude, leave your kinky sh!t out of this. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 13:15 1
    - Then the answer is no. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:16
"Somebody That I Used To Know" and "We Are Young" stay and #1 and #2 on the Hot 100 Chart. - con_carne Apr 27, 13:09 17
- That song title always makes me think of Pat Benatar. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 13:27
- I find it very encouraging that Gotye and fun. are charting like that. - TFox Apr 27, 13:18 3
  - Though fun. owes a chunk of its current success to Glee. -- nm - Dano Apr 27, 14:11
  - Yup -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:31
  - It's the most indie rock-tastic top ten ever. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 13:21
- I kind of like We Are Young, but it feels like it gets more repetitive than I'd like. -- nm - Qale Apr 27, 13:15 6
  - I think their next one will be... more so -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:48
  - meh... - znufrii Apr 27, 13:31
  - This is the song that opens with the guy saying he beat his girlfriend, leaving a scar? Yeah, great song. -- nm - TWuG Apr 27, 13:22 3
    - I needed a come down after Pumped Up Kicks. -- nm - Qale Apr 27, 13:34
    - down by the river I shot my baby -- nm - Neil Young Apr 27, 13:26
    - word -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:22
- I really like Stronger by Kelly Clarkson (is that climbing or falling now?) -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 13:10 3
  - Was #1 for two weeks before We Are Young took over. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 13:14
  - It's #10, was #9 last week -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:12 1
    - (peaked at #1) -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:12
- Respectively, for the second week in a row. -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:10
If anyone needs me, I'll be out at the Gas 'N Sip. - Reagen Apr 27, 13:07
All right, time to confess. Which one of you was Flash on the old TT? -- nm - David Apr 27, 13:07 4
- He didn't make the transition. Hangs out on the HSX players board. Moved from the OC to Utah. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 27, 14:08
- It's Not Me, Okay? I Don't Know How These Crazy Rumors Get Started.! -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 13:21
- I think it would be hard to disguise that writing style. -- nm - mara Apr 27, 13:20
- Flash still posts sometimes on the HSX boards. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 13:18
power stability poll: how often do your lights go out a year average? do you normally have flashligts, candles, backup heat source? - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:06 5
- A few times/year. Here, stuff usually goes screwy when we get actual weather. -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:33
- 0.33 -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:24
- less than once. more like once every two years. no heat source, but matches, candles, flashlights. -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 13:11
- once -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 13:09
- a couple of times a year. I have a few flashlights and candles, but if it's more than a few hours I go to a friend's place. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 13:07
�Can�t we talk about things we like?" -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 13:06
it's drink o'clock! -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 13:05 1

Happy 80th, Casey Kasem -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:01
speaking of freaky exes - zork Apr 27, 12:57 3
- I hope she's ok. -- nm - lileve Apr 27, 13:20 1
  - He. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:22
- On tour with Madonna, no? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 13:12
US Attorney's Office investigating the NBA Players Union (aka: Billy Hunter's Family Trust) -- (link) - Beaker Apr 27, 12:56
"That's why I take three plane flights every Thanksgiving to visit my racist Aunt Cookie." -- nm - David Apr 27, 12:52
kare, I think a 90 minute movie might be too long to prove a point to a 5 year old. Try a 30 minute cartoon. -- nm - zork Apr 27, 12:51 5
- Ooh, if the kid starts squirming, threaten to punch him if he doesn't hold still. Doubly informative. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 13:00 1
  - domestic violence is different, try punching the kid next to you cause his momma dressed him funny -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 27, 13:09
- My 5 year old has noooo problem watching a 90 minute movie. Five times. In succession. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 12:54 2
  - our oldest could do that at that age, but the one who is 5 now can't sit still long enough most times -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 12:54
  - that's not what I said. -- nm - zork Apr 27, 12:54
It's difficult to describe how high pitched the scream is that I picture from MDH when a JLo concert is announced. - TFox Apr 27, 12:46 7
- just imagine if JLo and Kylie did a concert together - zork Apr 27, 13:03 2
  - [deleted]
  - *Splurt* -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 13:05
- Hahaha. I know, I know. It was more like "I need to google the hell out of this now." - MDH Apr 27, 12:58 2
  - "Tags: Divas!" -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 13:00 1
    - The amount of "divas" I've seen in concert is kind of sick. I need help. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 13:06
- here -- (link) - Beaker Apr 27, 12:50 [youtube]
