"Max!" "What?!" "Those are hot wings!" "YES." "What about your ulcer!" "But they're so good!" "Idiot!" "Go away!" -- nm - office transcripts Jul 13, 13:36
Apparently our new groovy polymer bills with the see through parts are melting in the heat: -- (link) - Andie Jul 13, 13:33 4
- groovy? -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:39 1
  - i went with it. -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 13:41
- The couch doesn't melt, and the kids plastic toys don't melt ... lady, get them the fuck away from the heater anyway. - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:36
- pshh...like it ever gets that hot in Canada... -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 13:34
8 months trying to get sqatters out of your house? eesh! -- (link) - znufrii Jul 13, 13:31 1
- I love that the comments read basically like our argument here over the apartment thing -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:34
Google started shipping Nexus tablets today. Did anyone here preorder one? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 13:23 1
- No. I did order an edifi, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:25

- Maybe you just need to cool off a bit. Have the Uber ice cream truck come by - JD Jul 13, 13:33
- Suits has sexy and smart paralegals. You should get those. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 13:23
- Do it. Do it now. -- nm - sycor Jul 13, 13:18
- No way, Sam Worthington is out there. He's nummy. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 13:13
- Have you/can you talk to the paralegal first to see if that will fix it? - ty97 Jul 13, 13:13 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - Then get her let go. It will be best for everybody -- nm - amoxy Jul 13, 13:23
    - "you can't fix stupid" -- nm - drunk comedian Jul 13, 13:20
    - Has anyone talked with the supervisor to see if he/she can do anything about it before it erupts? -- nm - GregW Jul 13, 13:19
    - Fair enough -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 13:16
has anyone tried the Shackleton scotch? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 13, 13:04 1
- What I read: has anyone tried the shackledown crotch - oblique Jul 13, 13:11
It has always seemed odd to me that king sized bed = 76x80. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:03 26
- and almost all come with twin box springs which make a noticible line down the middle -- nm - peglegpete Jul 13, 13:08 16
  - We have custom split box springs for our queen-size. It's frigging invaluable for moving. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:18 10
    - We have a queen-size box spring for our queen-size. It's been moved twice with no hassle. - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:24 8
      - Plus a queen is an entire foot shorter than a king, so you have a little more action. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:29 2
        
        I don't think that's something that can be judged purely from the bed dimensions. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:30 1
        
        also depends a lot on the layout of the house - znufrii Jul 13, 13:33
      - Any staircases? -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:26 4
        
        well, the condo had an elevator - but the townhouse has two flights of stairs, so yes -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:29 2
        
        Has a lot to do with lay outs. In our condo, you came in the front door and immediately to the left was the stairway up. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:33 1
        
        yep ... space is not an issue at the townhouse. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:34
        
        PIVOT! -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:26
    - *that's* why they do that! - Mel Profit Jul 13, 13:23
  - That must be a crappy mattress. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:13 1
    - Or you are the fabled princess! -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:14
  - actually two twin box springs would be 2" too wide - znufrii Jul 13, 13:10 2
    - and for that matter, if we did go with a box spring, we'd have to find a split queen in order to get it up the stairs. - znufrii Jul 13, 13:15 1
      - Heh, the condo we rented before buying the house, we nearly had to mangle the matress to get it up the stairs. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:17
- King sized beds have always seemed odd to me. Maybe I just enjoy being in bed with my wife too much... - Jim Jul 13, 13:07 5
  - The California King would probably be perfect for me. PPretty rare around here though. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:19 1
    - the problem with california king bed is they tend to be not much smaller than the california condo bedroom -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 13:24
  - In HS, I fell out of a bed, a few times. Plus, when you are this tall, you need some diagonal space if you do not want to hang over. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:13
  - I enjoy being in bed with my wife too, but I enjoy having some bed to be in bed with her with. - Stephen Jul 13, 13:09
  - and for some reason they've always seemed wider than they are long. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 13:08
- but seriously, why stop there? -- (link) - znufrii Jul 13, 13:05 2
  - For all your orgy needs -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:11
  - Heh. But seriously. 76 vs 80 is dumb. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:06
The motorcycle guy on YouTube Bery posted on ST last month just made CNN. Haha! Losers. -- nm - Mop on Galaxy SIII Jul 13, 13:00 2
- That's because he just got charged, and he is now wanted by police. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 13:20 1
  - But didn't they find him, the very day the video got posted? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 13, 13:22
Check out the first Pupanzee. -- (link) - GregW Jul 13, 12:59
Oh and this song should make Mel's brain melt like Tiger Baby did -- (link) - Reagen Jul 13, 12:53 [youtube] 2
- fuck.*dancing* you. *and crying* - Mel Profit Jul 13, 13:06 1
  - I gave you some real musical yin and yang today. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 13:10

- *whispers* Halo - oblique Jul 13, 12:53
- turntable -- nm - amoxy Jul 13, 12:52 12
  - There's no groiny so it should be mostly good music. -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 13:03 10
    - I love how it's the same yahoos every time I'm there. I mean this in a good way. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 13:17 1
      - And that groiny and I always end up trying to tick each other off? - spamlet Jul 13, 13:19
    - groiny turntables like he Halos? -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:04 7
      - I played an hour of Halo and remembered why am I'm not a big fan of FPS. - spamlet Jul 13, 13:07 6
        
        I *love* driving in those games. Also, you can adjust the Look Sensitivity, which is how fast your POV reacts to the controls. - Spawn Jul 13, 13:22 5
        
        I'll have to look. I got Reach free when I bought the Xbox and decided to give it a try. - spamlet Jul 13, 13:24 3
        
        the driving takes a bit to get used to, then once you figure it out, its pretty simple - tRuMaN Jul 13, 13:27 2
        
        I'm totally good at it now! *stops on a dime* - oblique Jul 13, 13:28 1
        
        yeah, you stop just long enough for me to see the flashing red light of the laser. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 13:28
        
        I have mine set to 1 and it still doesn't seem low enough -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 13:23
  - Move b**** get out the way! -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 12:53
Congrats to Pippy, and thanks to Andie !! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 13, 12:48
znu, headboards like that don't tend to be very sturdy and can shift/bounce and dig into the wall during...activities - Stephen Jul 13, 12:48 19
- Yup. Ours is mainly wood with some iron... strategically placed. - Spawn Jul 13, 12:50 1
  - Heh - Stephen Jul 13, 13:00
- nobody cares but I think I may upgrade to a queen next time I buy a bed. (how long do beds last?) -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:49 16
  - It depends a lot on... things we have been talking about here. I have had king since senior year of HS and would never change that. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:51
  - I think 10 years on beds. It's almost time I get a new one. - Max Jul 13, 12:51 9
    - It also depends how frequently you turn your mattress. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:52 6
      - Turn or flip? Mine is a pillowtop so really can't be flipped, and it actually has a 'head' with extra support. - Max Jul 13, 12:54 5
        
        this amuses me. (though the randomness may also be contributing to your back issues.) -- nm - b. Jul 13, 12:59
        
        PIllow tops usually can be turned. Yours is a mutant! Non PT can be flipped, even. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:55 2
        
        It can be turned, but it's relative to my sleeping position and not the box, right? Easier to just lay the opposite direction. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:56 1
        
        Yeah, that would accomplish the same. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 13:00
        
        mine as well -- I turn monthlyish. I think I bought it in 2005. -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:55
    - I bought mine... I wonder if macy's has statements that far back. let's look. (not like I'm doing anything...) -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:52 1
      - no, just a year. -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:53
  - we wanted a king so badly, but it just didn't fit without completely dominating the room. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 12:50 4
    - I hate king size beds. "next time we're getting two queens. I feel like you're on another continent." -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:51 3
      - who said that? -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:52 2
        
        my boyfriend, noseypants. - amanda Jul 13, 12:58
        
        two kings? -- nm - zork Jul 13, 12:55

- Heh. I've been to the first two stops. - Reagen Jul 13, 12:48
ao, it is AAM time - remember when my wedding dress was lost in the mail? and then i got it? - Andie Jul 13, 12:42 15
- I agree with the "give it another 30 or so days until you panic", but maybe keep your eye out for a backup, just in case you need it? - kelly Jul 13, 13:08 6
  - /pictures Will declaring a wedding dress at the Canadian border :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 13, 13:16 5
    - It would be .... a challenge since I'm coming in for a business visa. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 13:38
    - hee. - Andie Jul 13, 13:27
    - Is that what has to be done? I truly have no idea. - kelly Jul 13, 13:20 2
      - If you're flying you generally get a form to fill out. How much of items like cigarettes and liquor, and the value of anything else you're "importing" - MojaveMeg Jul 13, 13:24
      - heh, it probably wouldn't have to happen. i'm having her courier it this time, so, that won't be an issue. - Andie Jul 13, 13:21
- google the maker, one thing about brides is, they love to post their experiences talk about their vendors as much as restaurant/movie critics - zeitgeist Jul 13, 12:59 2
  - yeah, i know, it's an etsy dressmaker, fantastic reviews, i did all that before i ordered. - Andie Jul 13, 13:01 1
    - one minister friend lost half her hawaiian destination wedding planning biz cause of a bad review - zeitgeist Jul 13, 13:08
- and made of black leather? - Max Jul 13, 12:49 2
  - yeah, i just asked for a status update from her. just tell me what stage we are at! -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 12:50 1
    - My clients must hate me because I always take at least 24 hours to respond. I don't like responding "working on it." I'd rather have complete info -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:52
- you have at least 34 days before panic mode - zork Jul 13, 12:44 1
  - agreed. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 12:54
Another reason to hate ESPN -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 13, 12:42

- Drive faster. -- nm - Stephen Jul 13, 12:49 3
  - *installs mor yellow lights* -- nm - zork Jul 13, 12:52 1
    - dammit, that was supposed to be signed as Starman -- nm - zork Jul 13, 12:52
  - I was speeding waaay more in other parts of the trip. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:50
- maybe that's the charge but the actual speed was around 82 -- nm - zork Jul 13, 12:45
Turntable! -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 12:41 2
- I'll be there in a half hour or so once the webcast is over. -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 12:44 1
  - I can be there until about 5edt. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 12:45
also, speaking of beds, does anybody here have a metal platform in lieu of a box spring? -- (link) - znufrii Jul 13, 12:38 13
- nope, we have a sleep number. Best purchase ever. - spamlet Jul 13, 12:45 4
  - really? i've always heard bad things about the sleep number beds. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 13:31 2
    - We're a couple of years in and love it. - spamlet Jul 13, 13:35 1
      - Cool. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 13:36
  - we're getting a tempurpedic -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 12:46
- why is it supposed to be better? -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:43 3
  - from what I understand, they are recommended with memory foam mattresses over box springs - znufrii Jul 13, 12:46 2
    - weight. read the reviews! -- nm - amanda Jul 13, 12:50
    - That sounds counter intuitive. I'd expect a box to spread the weight more evenly. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:50
- Neither. Our bed has these funky non-box wood pieces that give it a spring effect. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:39 3
  - ... and I would suggest not ordering something you have never really laid on. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:40 2
    - noted -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 12:44 1
      - The support stuff doe smake a difference. When we laid on our bed it felt great. Then we got to looking under it and it made no sense. - Spawn Jul 13, 12:59
somebody's not getting laid enough -- (link) - zork Jul 13, 12:37 [Backboard] 4
- does anyone actually get laid *enough*? -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 12:39 2
  - There is enough, and there is *enough*. - Spawn Jul 13, 12:41
  - good point -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 12:40
- oh, right. - znufrii Jul 13, 12:38
Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 13, 12:35
