  - my k.c. used to get that way for corn husks. she'd not completely eat them, but she'd roll around with them as if they were catnip. -- nm - b. May 11, 11:16
- Did you not give them tuna water? -- nm - JenBro May 11, 10:51 2
  - I get the pouches - znufrii May 11, 10:52 1

- Biel, Katy, Bell -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 11, 11:20
- Alba, Pery, Bell. (this is one of the easiest ones ST has posted) -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 11:17
- Alba, Zooey, Bell -- nm - Ender May 11, 11:12 4
  - this -- nm - TFox May 11, 11:13 3
    - (Though I'd probably take either Perry or Paquin over Biel or Alba.) -- nm - Ender May 11, 11:15 2
      - easily - Jovian May 11, 11:17
      - not this. -- nm - TFox May 11, 11:16

- awww - I had not seen that - very nice -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 11:31
Well, that was unexpected. Frank did a great talk on his life but ended with a heartfelt talk on morality, ideals. and what it means to be a man, - obliqueberry May 11, 10:43 4
- v. good! what I heard re: his local appearances here was that it was that combined with guidance on avoiding - b. May 11, 11:15

I've had enough of having 1 TB drives sitting around collecting dust. I'm building a NAS, dammit! -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:35 5
- *needs to get his 1TB drive to work right* - Will Hunting May 11, 10:38 1
  - I heard about this and I feel for you. I have very little advice in the matter. - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:39
- So... who knows how to build a NAS? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:35 2
  - Heh. Openfiler, FreeNAS, or just attach it to your PC and share it. - obliqueberry May 11, 10:44 1
    - How is a Drobo different than a NAS? I don't intend to do any RAID. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:51

Slacker roommate wouldn't eat ravioli because there's no cheese to sprinkle on them. They are cheese ravioli. -- nm - ceregon May 11, 10:32 3
- His loss. More raviolis for you. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 11, 11:06
- Is he 3 yrs old? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:38 1
  - He just turned 22. -- nm - ceregon May 11, 11:27
"The Artist" is adding 710 theaters this weekend? Huh. - MDH May 11, 10:28 3

Whatnow? Springsteen at Fenway? - kelly May 11, 10:28 1
- *runs the boss over in my Hummer* - Josh Beckett May 11, 10:29
I think Strongbad has stories about his life as a cast member that he needs to tell us. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:27 4
- Nothing exciting. I worked there for 2 Summers - Strongbad May 11, 10:59 3
  - Vista... Way... -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 11:28 [youtube] 2
    - OMG. -- nm - Strongbad May 11, 11:31 1
      - One of these days I'm going to find the video of me dancing at the end of MMC. -- nm - Strongbad May 11, 11:33
Just saying, I love how character of a high school kid is important here. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:26 32
- and last week we had to hear stories about president obama as a college kid. -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:38 9
  - That's a dollar for the Both Sides Jar, Tru. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 10:39 8
    - meh. my point is is politics, of the rommeny sneezes during someone's speech, or the president farts while on tv, it will be news for a cycle or two -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:40 7
      - Um... there's a pretty big difference between a sneeze and a fart, DON'T YOU THINK??? -- nm - ST Hairsplitter Squad May 11, 10:52 6
        
        there is kind of a difference in those things actually. -- nm - Mel Profit May 11, 11:06 4
        
        I know I'd rather be sneezed on. -- nm - Roger More May 11, 11:11 3
        
        Would you rather be farted on by Obama or sneezed on by Newt Gingrich? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:18 2
        
        Does Newt have a cold? or is it allergy related? or just dust? -- nm - Beaker May 11, 11:23 1
        
        Only dust, but he just finished eating a big meal of oysters and milk, -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:29
        
        depends, which party did which -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 10:58
- What Clinton did wasn't charming, it's a definite character flaw. IMO he can sleep around as much as he likes, but with an intern who works for him - Roger More May 11, 10:37
- I'm not sure you get the public mood on Clinton right either. Clinton was a successful president with morality issues - Will Hunting May 11, 10:36 4
  - Maybe like my own views on what he did, the broader view is changing. *shrugging* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:39 3
    - Or, you just didn't get it right in the first place. - Will Hunting May 11, 10:47 2
      - Put another way... -- (link) - Dr.Vermin May 11, 11:07 [Image]
      - Oh, that's definitely not it. ;^) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:50
- No. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:32
- ...and? -- nm - znufrii May 11, 10:31 2
  - No and. My "Just saying" was a legit "just adding two cents". I find it interesting how we apply character tests. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:32 1
    - might be that there's a fairly big difference in the nature of the actions? -- nm - znufrii May 11, 10:35
- All Ill say is if he really doesnt remember? Then he was clearly 100 times worse in HS and probably did stuff like this all the time. -- nm - Jovian May 11, 10:30 2
  - Agreed, if he would have just owned up to it yesterday with a big Mea Culpa, it would have been done - amoxy May 11, 10:32 1
    - yup -- nm - Jovian May 11, 10:35
- nailing willing adults is a different kettle of fish than picking on someone weaker than yourself. -- nm - Beaker May 11, 10:29 6
  - Personally, I think there are parallels nailing an intern while you're the President. One person has power and gets what he wants, the other has none. - Roger More May 11, 10:44
  - Some would argue that's exactly what Clinton did with Monica. - Name Withheld By Request May 11, 10:40 4
    - I can see that argument. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:44
    - Unbelievable. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 11, 10:44
    - [deleted]
    - fair enough -- nm - Beaker May 11, 10:43
- Unlike Romney, Clinton is widely loved -- nm - con_carne May 11, 10:28 1
  - ...if you know what I'm saying. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, [wink] May 11, 10:29

    - brilliant -- nm - Epiphany May 11, 11:33
the fact that the dinosaur moved is what makes me think the kid did the right thing. -- nm - Mel Profit May 11, 10:22 5
- and I like that one click takes you into the Weird section of the Internet. - Mel Profit May 11, 10:53
- But it was offering him a Christmas wreath. I bet the kid running away made the dinosaur sad. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:33
- Even if it's not a dinosaur ... it's still a robot. -- nm - Beryllium May 11, 10:25 2
  - Taken from my Facebook wall: How to survive the Robot Apocalypse. -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) May 11, 10:38 [youtube]
