  - I wanted the total points in each round to be about 80% of the previous round, and that is the way to do it. - psilotum Jun 3, 22:06
hmm, the PT Cruiser I was looking at (for $2995) has an ICBC status of 'Rebuilt' .. that doesn't bode well. Explains the price, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 21:15 4
- a ten year old 120,000m (200km?) car is still at the end of its life, doesn't matter if its wrecked, depends on when it happened - zeitgeist Jun 3, 21:30 3
  - hmm, yes, that's a valid point -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 21:34 2
    - cars have semi predictable costs with applied chaos principle. the question is, are you secure in your job that you are likely to have it for several - zeitgeist Jun 3, 22:39 1
      - leasing or financing is out of the question, has to be a full-out purchase, so that puts me in a very low end bracket. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 22:40
and, just like that I'm back in school mode ... summer classes begin tomorrow as I enter the home stretch leading to graduation in August .. - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 3, 21:11 1

As a sign that virtually no one cared about the MTV Movie Awards even Drudge has yet to put a link complaining about the content like usual. -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 20:24 4
- they need to pull the plug. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 20:30
- Wow I didn't see any promos for it - didn't know it was on :( -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 20:27
- I haven't even watched the MTV Movie Awards in so long ... it's a farcical joke at this point -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 3, 20:25 1

- Good dags. D'ya like dags? -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 20:14
- I only got as far as the 1st episode, it didn't grip me. -- nm - LMS Jun 3, 20:07 5
  - yeah the 1st episode is a drag. gonna give it one more before I give up cause the cast is solid. -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 20:09 4
    - The show always seemed like a bunch of actor mates getting well paid to hang out on holiday together. Ep 1 spoiler - LMS Jun 3, 20:12 3
      - I kept waiting for Keely Hawes and Philip Glenister's brother to show up. Seemed like a Kudos all star cast -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 20:13 2
        
        If you can find it I suggest Exile, the 3 part drama with John Simm, and Safe Men starting on BBCA end of the month. -- nm - LMS Jun 3, 20:39 1
        
        cool. thanks for the recommendation -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 20:42

It's time for my normal Sunday night routine of explaining what just happened on tonight's episode of The Killing. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 19:17 5
- do you have an idea of who the killer is? - prayformojo Jun 3, 19:23 4
  - It's pointing somewhere pretty definitively now though there are still two episodes to swerve several more times (spoilers for end of tonight) - Dano Jun 3, 19:30 1
    - basic rule about mysteries..... - zeitgeist Jun 3, 20:04
  - I don`t wanna know until th 3rd season finale -- nm - mud Jun 3, 19:25
  - Time Immemorial is the killer. - Beryllium Jun 3, 19:24
Mad Men spoils - HOLY CRAP! - JenBro Jun 3, 19:13 8

  - Probably not. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 21:25

- Tonight is becoming my favorite episode really fast! -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 19:23 1
  - Oh no - spoils - JenBro Jun 3, 19:36
- Painful -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 19:21
I think Martin Solvig could market his workout routine behind those turntables at the MTV Movie Awards. Bonus: He's not wearing a dumb mouse helmet. -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 18:54
Star Wars 1313 -- (link) - Beaker Jun 3, 18:49
Sherlock fans, how soon is Season 2 likely to be rerun? Or should I just go ahead and watch it online? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 18:48 4
- PBS's schedule is somewhat silly. But you can watch it on PBS.org -- (link) - Mop Jun 3, 18:53 3
  - Is that still the edited version, if so I'd go for the DVDs. -- nm - LMS Jun 3, 19:49 1
    - I should maybe do that - daughter had the DVD for Season 1. I'm just a little restricted on where I can play them. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 19:54
  - Yep, that's what I was planning if it wan't rerunning any time soon. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 18:56
Went for a walk with my wife and dog.. as we pass a house, a dog starts barking and snarling from behind a fence. - colin Jun 3, 18:47 26
- As somebody who has owned (and had to put down) an aggressive dog, I can assure you it's *all* on the owner of the biter. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 19:39
- thanks everyone :) animal control and police will be called first thing in the morning. -- nm - colin Jun 3, 19:38 1
  - take your dog to the vet, and send them the bill for it, often it takes a monetary slap to get their attention to a problem, call the local school and - zeitgeist Jun 3, 20:10
- That's horrible. Definitely file a police report and/or animal control report. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 19:37
- File a police report and a report with animal control. Expect the owner and the "bitch" to lie about what happened. - TWuG Jun 3, 19:27 5
  - can I get the police to go by and get the dog's papers, you think? I need to know if the dog is up to date or if I'll need to get shots for my dogs. -- nm - colin Jun 3, 19:31 4
    - Get shots regardless. The attacking dog probably hasn't gotten regular vet care. - TWuG Jun 3, 19:34
    - Would animal control have that - assuming it's licensed. If not, that's another count against it. Assuming you're required to license them there? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 19:33 2
      - they require it... but it's supposedly so they can get the animal back to you if it's picked up. - colin Jun 3, 19:35 1
        
        Right, we have to provide a rabies shot verification to renew a license. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 19:39
- definately file reports everywhere. and get pictures of all the dog's damage. document everything you can - peglegpete Jun 3, 19:18 1
  - in fact, do not go on that street again if you can help it. if the owner is a jerk, you want to honestly say you have never been back since the attack -- nm - peglegpete Jun 3, 19:20
- Actually I'd call both Police AND Animal Control Officer. I hate to say this but the dog should perhaps be put down. - JenBro Jun 3, 18:56 4
  - maybe. I`m thinking the woman oughta be, too -- nm - mud Jun 3, 19:23 1
    - the woman first, the dog has a chance of learning from that -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 20:26
  - and that's my concern. our dog is okay. he's a sweetie, but tough. that dog could have easily ripped in to a kid or smaller dog. -- nm - colin Jun 3, 19:15 1
    - Exactly - it's aggression is out of check. It's prolly not a question of "if" but "when" something worse than today will happen. -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 19:17
- and a vet bill. get your dog dressed, I've had an ear blow up like a balloon (hematoma) and then that ear was bent/floppy (actually looked cute) but - zeitgeist Jun 3, 18:52
- That is mesed -- nm - shaun Jun 3, 18:51 3
  - Messed up. Take pics of the damage to your dog and totally file a report. Out of curiosity, breed of the attacking dog? -- nm - shaun Jun 3, 18:52 2
    - attacking dog was mixed, but had some pit/rotty in him. about the same size as our dog (50 - 60 lbs) -- nm - colin Jun 3, 18:53 1
      - scary stuff man, hope it all works out. -- nm - shaun Jun 3, 19:12
- Yes police report & mention that their nosy neighbor made it a necessity. - Epiphany Jun 3, 18:50
- Police report. And dog of pool on the bitch's porch. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 18:50
- Oh yeah, definitely. I'd be there first thing in the morning to file a report. -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 18:49
- I'm inclined to agree re: the police report. Sorry about the rough night. -- nm - Jelly Jun 3, 18:49
the use of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the latest Prometheus ads is great -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 18:45 2
- just get rid of that car alarm sound -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 18:53
- Haven't seen the ad, but the very thought is terrifying. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 18:46
Creepy! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 18:44 1
- Squueeeeee -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 18:52
Holy moly, the littlest CQs are so stinkin' cute. -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 18:44 4
- Is CQ on Facebook? He's not on "the list". -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 18:48 3
  - He's cross-referenced under his original nick - CrashQuick. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 18:50 1
    - Huh. I was unfamiliar with that name. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 18:52
  - He is on Facebook, yes, but he posted a link to Flickr on B2. -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 18:49
The Best Questions Ever Asked of Batman -- (link) - Beaker Jun 3, 18:43 [youtube]
I cut a vicious swath through my documentaries on Netflix this weekend. - Mop Jun 3, 18:39
It's like everyone else is playing basketball, and Rondo's playing Portal. -- nm - Jelly Jun 3, 18:38
I've had the disc a month now so time to put it in... Season 1 Ep 1 & 2 of Game of Thronse, here we go. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 3, 18:37 8
- Whoop! Red light red light! - Epiphany Jun 3, 18:39
- I just watched that on Saturday. Loved it! Took me about 20 minutes of Ep1 Season 1 to get hooked. Enjoy. I am waiting on 3-4 to come in the mail -- nm - Bacon Jun 3, 18:38 6
  - We'll see - HBO shows don't have a good track record with me. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 3, 18:45 5
    - I'll echo David. The first season is only 10 episodes. If you aren't hooked by the end of the season - TWuG Jun 3, 19:32
    - If I could make a suggestion, give it 5 or 6 episodes. It has to do a *lot* of table setting. -- nm - David, neutral Jun 3, 19:25 3
      - Hell it's awesome NOW! It gets better? -- nm - Bacon via Droid Jun 3, 19:41
      - I've read the first two-thirds of the book or so. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 3, 19:30 1
        
        so then you know. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 21:32
