I got some watch batteries from China in the mail yesterday. Is it wrong that I'm afraid to be near the package for fear of catching something? - Mop (198 lbs) May 10, 08:50 3
- you know that most of the stuff you own comes from China, right? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:51 1
  - But this seems to personal. If China wants to invade, they need only sell us cheap electronic components on eBay and cough in the packages. - Mop (198 lbs) May 10, 08:52
- Probably ground up human parts are powering the battery -- nm - amoxy May 10, 08:51
"The Labor Department says that if employers do not want to pay their intern..." - Mop (198 lbs) May 10, 08:46 2

Kim's HWDYK on last Sunday's Game of Thrones. For such a dark episode, there's a good bit of funny in the quiz -- (link) - prayformojo May 10, 08:31 1
- woohoo! my first perfect score. (thanks Kim for doing these:) ) -- nm - decline May 10, 08:50

Opera report - ceregon May 10, 08:28 25
- Nice report. I'd like to see an opera one day. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 08:36 9
  - Careful. - con_carne May 10, 08:40 2
    - actually it's the other way around - znufrii May 10, 08:42
    - At least he said "an opera one day" instead of "one opera a day" -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 08:41
  - too late for this season, but I'd be up for joining you sometime... -- nm - znufrii May 10, 08:38 2
    - Cool. I've been to a few ballets but never to an opera. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 08:42 1
      - I'll try and bring some friend along as well. -- nm - znufrii May 10, 08:42
  - here you go. The Rabbit of Seville -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 08:38 [youtube] 2
    - Heh. :-) classic. -- nm - Krusty May 10, 08:44 1
      - one more -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 08:46 [youtube]
- yeah, Stephanie Blythe is not a small woman. -- nm - znufrii May 10, 08:35
- It's probably a lot easier to follow with subtitles. Live you wouldn't have those to follow which is why it is repeated. -- nm - spamlet May 10, 08:35 9
  - LA Opera does "projected English translations" now on their productions -- nm - con_carne May 10, 08:38
  - nope - they have subtitles when it's live too. -- nm - Andie May 10, 08:36 7
    - they have live titles in the theatre as well, usually in four different languages. there's a digital disply on the back of the seat in front of you -- nm - znufrii May 10, 08:37 5
      - Now, yes. Not when Wagner was writing it :) -- nm - spamlet May 10, 08:42 1
        
        ah, yes. - znufrii May 10, 08:44
      - Can you get sports scores on those things? - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:38 1
        
        I haven't tried, actually - znufrii May 10, 08:39
      - cool -- nm - Andie May 10, 08:38
    - (or, you mean in-person-live, i was thinking the live-to-air screenings.) -- nm - Andie May 10, 08:36
- good report - thanks -- nm - Epiphany May 10, 08:32 3
  - It lacked a cougar report, but agreed. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:32 2
    - If cougars are women in their 40's and 50's, what are women in their 70's? - ceregon May 10, 08:34 1

      - A fifteen year old wearing Spanx around Cappie scares the shit out of me. nm -- nm - groiny May 10, 08:21 7
        
        It shouldnt. You guys have been riding that joke for a long time. I have never found children appealin in the way you infer - Capstern May 10, 08:39 6
        
        I will be honest with you, the fact that you have been there only a few months - groiny May 10, 08:40 5
        
        Well for me it has more or less led to - Capstern May 10, 08:44 2
        
        as a sidenote, despite my jokes, I have always tried to help you. - groiny May 10, 08:46 1
        
        and believe it or not dude I feel you have. Hell we all know you are the resident perv - Capstern May 10, 08:48
        
        the girls are testing him. they are learning what buttons to push. it's what teenagers do and it's what stepchildren do. - Andie May 10, 08:43 1
        
        Andie thanks this is what Ange said...well she said ti was two things - Capstern May 10, 08:47
    - heh. -- nm - Satan si May 10, 08:16
    - I have to look away. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:16
Oh, that reminds me... I saw my very first Romney bumper sticker yesterday! -- nm - Don Homer May 10, 08:12 3
- Please America, get this right. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:48
- "Romney '12, I Guess" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 08:16 1
  - "Romney '12 - Before The Mayans Get Us!" -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 08:40

- But Mitt was also teased because his father ran the #4 car company in America. Poor Mitt! -- nm - Roger More May 10, 08:28
Capstern --- Just going off your posts..."She has to check with the accountant", "I dock the allowances", "she'll back what we decide".... - Will Hunting May 10, 08:12 34
- Man, so many of the good ST arguments happen on *east coast* time -- nm - con_carne May 10, 08:28 8
  - Last night was about as close to an "arguement" as this one, and that was on West coast time! - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:34
  - I don't even know if this is an argument....for us, it's rather tame. - Will Hunting May 10, 08:29 6
    - Its not an arguement at all. Just actual honest advice and appreciated. Not a situation I have EVER dealt with - Capstern May 10, 08:33 3
      - dude, youo deal with this just about every time you get engaged, married, whatever. - groiny May 10, 08:34 2
        
        Lets see ST/TT has been around for exactly ONE marriage....and the end of two - Capstern May 10, 08:41 1
        
        this is the exact same situation you were in with Cassie. - groiny May 10, 08:43
    - Let alone a good one. -- nm - mara May 10, 08:32 1
      - you just don't get it - prayformojo May 10, 08:34
- I can see what you are saying. For once in my life I run from the white horse - Capstern May 10, 08:19 8
  - I won't even say they think it's a joke or not...but no matter how it works, it'll be taken about 100x more serious than anyone ever intended - Will Hunting May 10, 08:25 1
    - Oh I know - Capstern May 10, 08:32
  - Yeah... not so much. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:22
  - you may THINK you've stabled the horse, but there are all kinds of boundary violations here. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:21 4
    - I try to work from the thoery that I am so much better than I would have been in the past - Capstern May 10, 08:26 3
      - I would go from the theory that "there's always room for improvement" than "I'm so much better than I used to be" -- nm - Roger More May 10, 08:42
      - Just an aside, the past for you isn't that long ago, like at all ago. - Will Hunting May 10, 08:31
      - that doesn't mean it's good now. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:27
- yeah, i've been with someone for over 5 years that now has an 18 year old. - Andie May 10, 08:14 11
  - Yeah, I don't even know where to start with this. My wife struggles to assert any kind of authority on my kids (even "please put your dishes away - pmb May 10, 08:36 1
    - you and i have discussed this before - what a tight rope it can be. -- nm - Andie May 10, 08:37
  - I guess thats how I am trying to approach this... - Capstern May 10, 08:24 2
    - they ask YOU for money. YOU dock the allowance. that's not standing back. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:29
    - Just stop. You've already took on the role of step father/accountant in action. You're just not admitting the title. - Inigo May 10, 08:27
  - But think how much fun playing the wicked stepmother would be! -- nm - Reagen May 10, 08:19 5
    - i plan to start as soon as we say I Do. - Andie May 10, 08:23 4
      - But Andie, clearly you should have already begun! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:26 2
        
        i am *years* behind. - Andie May 10, 08:27
        
        Oh, she has been practicing in front of the mirrors, I'm sure. - Will Hunting May 10, 08:27
      - ~Cuz Mother....Knows......Best~ - Andie SI May 10, 08:26
- I think it is a bit too late for that. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:13 2
  - Probably, and would take him actively backing away from this...but it's at least I think a fair critique. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 08:14 1
    - Oh, agreed. - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:15
- agreed completely. he should have NOTHING to do with it at this point. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:12

btw, India Eisley is Olivia Hussey's daughter - zork May 10, 07:59 26
- She'll be fine. She just needs to master that alien "take me to your leader so I can eat him" look -- nm - con_carne May 10, 08:13
- parents - her dad was the singer for Giuffra -- (link) - Epiphany May 10, 08:07 [Image] 12
  - there's a reason Zeffirelli cast her as Juliet -- nm - zork May 10, 08:10
  - she looks like a blue eyed version of her mom. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:08 10
    - she was 42 when she had her? interesting. -- nm - Epiphany May 10, 08:10 9
      - he looks creepy. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:18 5
        
        he's fug. He was the Chad Kroger of the 80s - Epiphany May 10, 08:24 4
        
        I think Tesla would have been huge if not for this. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:32 2
        
        I promise you - in my little world - Tesla was huge. heh. - Epiphany May 10, 08:52 1
        
        Probably one of my Top 10 Debut Albums, in fact. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:56
        
        Hard to believe he spawned that daughter. With a face and a rack like that, they should keep her locked in a tower. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:27
      - She had to wait for David Glen Eisley to settle down. - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:12 2
        
        heh - probably true - Epiphany May 10, 08:19 1
        
        I am sure Gregg kept telling him the comeback was gonna happen any day. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:27
- She looks more like she was created in a laboratory to looks like Jolie. -- nm - Tim May 10, 08:06
- they'll put her on a diet. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:04 2
  - bastards -- nm - zork May 10, 08:04 1
    - I'm assuming Angie won't eat a sammich. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:05
- Boy they are very close in looks -- nm - amoxy May 10, 08:01 7
  - she does resemble teenage Angie. like I said, a little makeup and weightloss, and it's believable. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 08:04
  - Yeah, you could not cast any better than that. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:03 5
    - IMO, other than the lips, they aren't that close -- nm - zork May 10, 08:04 4
      - She is close in that she looks like she could grow up to be the Jolie. I mean, this is what AJolie actually looked like, but Hollywood wants more. -- (link) - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:10 3
        
        and remember that that had Mila Kunis play young Angelina in Gia. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 08:14 1
        
        Oh, I remember. - Iron Spawn May 10, 08:17
        
        I can agree with this. -- nm - zork May 10, 08:11
