my days are *long* this mod. 10:30 to five in class straight through every day. but nine to eight in-building really. kind of brutal. - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 11:16 2
- when did this term "mod" come around? It's the same as "term," right? - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:19
- nasty. - ty97 Oct 22, 11:18
IFY, BBC Radio 1 is going to play Guns N Roses new single sometime in the next 1 hour and 45 minutes -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:16 1
- Singles usually get released in support of a new album - con_carne Oct 22, 11:18
Am I the only person not particularly perturbed by the RNC spending $150,000 on a new wardrobe for Palin? - znufrii Oct 22, 11:11 38
- I'd like to know how it compares in expense to the other three men's suits. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:21
- it's sort of another blow for someone trying to convince everyone she's Jane 6-Pack. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 22, 11:20 1
  - IT will certainly destroy her attempt to be "just another hockey mom" -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:21
- I just want to know if they bought the hidjus cow jacket she wore. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:19
- I don't mind - just so she knows - she may look better then Cindy McCain but she can never out dress Cindy McCain -- nm - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:16
- I'll be perturbed if it's all orange and sponsored by HSX.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 11:16
- i'd be more concerned if the DNC spent it on her clothes -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 11:16
- I'd hammer her on it for being a "fiscal conservative." -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:15 1
  - You! Call! Your! Self! A! Fiscal! Conservative!? -- nm - Jaxie, on it Oct 22, 11:19
- Not to sound sexist, but any time I hear mention of "women" and "clothes" I tune out - con_carne Oct 22, 11:15
- no. I think it's fine. Part of the cost of being a canidate. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:14
- since I died this week, I no longer give a shit about clothes and who is best or worst dressed -- nm - Mr. Blackwell Oct 22, 11:14
- Seriously, they way overpaid for those boots. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:13
- That actually sounds like a reasonable amount. I'm sure John Edwards paid that much for a single suit not long ago. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 11:13
- I'm thrilled about it. Olberman and Maddow and the Daily Show will be great tonight. :) -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:13
- That's my thinking too, but after the GOP got all arm-flappy over Edwards' haircuts, I'm going to enjoy this blow-up -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:13 2
  - OK, that is a good point -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 11:17
  - yeah, that was silly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:13
- i don't think that's insane, honestly. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:12
- she's on TV every day. doesn't sound unreasonable. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:12 18
  - Spending some money yes, but $150,000! If they bought 1 new outfit for each day between the convention and the election - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:15 6
    - i bet she has more than one appearance per day. formal events. a TON of suits. shoes, accessories, coats, etc.. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:18 2
      - yup, those suits alone can run $800-1200 a piece... - znufrii Oct 22, 11:19 1
        
        Wait a minute the suit's SHE'S wearing? Cause I'm pretty sure you can get the exact same thing at Macy's for $200. - Jim Oct 22, 11:20
    - she is whistlestopping in 2-4 cities every day. it's tough to find a 20 minute dry cleaner :) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 11:17
    - fora per-outfit cost, it's not unheard of. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:16 1
      - Only if you are an elitist. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:19
  - She was announced as the VP candidate rougly 67 days prior to election day. That's $2238 worth of clothes per day. - ty97 Oct 22, 11:15 5
    - Word. New wardrobe? I'm down with that. But $2k per day? That's a bit much. -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:16 4
      - Personally, I don't care how the McCain campgain/GOP spends it campaign money. I just can't see the 'not unreasonable' argument -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:17 3
        
        I'm with you. I don't really care, I just want to know what the fuck she's wearing that costs that much. - Jim Oct 22, 11:19 2
        
        Takes a lot of $$$ to make a silk purse... -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:20 1
        
        How much of the $150k do you suppose went for lipstick? nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:21
  - exactly. - znufrii Oct 22, 11:13 4
    - and women have extra pressure to look good. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:14 3
      - I don't think Hillary used campaign money on her outfits -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:17 1
        
        why would you think that? i bet it's a pretty standard campaign expense. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:20
      - but 150K? - Reagen Oct 22, 11:15
Shipped: Mario Kart Wii - kilboooo Oct 22, 11:11
I am just 12... - Mel Profit Oct 22, 11:10 3
- What about CPT Code 89329? That always makes me all Beavis-y. nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:12 2
  - Get away from me with your CPT codes! -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 22, 11:19 1
    - Would you prefer PQRI? Maybe Taxonomy? How about NPI?!?! -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:20
LYC: Just found out we have a leak in my building and our gas will be off for the next few days. Still not as bad as HSX 3.0. -- nm -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:09 3
- Watch lots of porn, so the cold showers won't seem so odd. -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:11
- Ashley has my car hostage. Still not as bad as HSX 3.0. -- nm - Beach Boys Oct 22, 11:11 1
  - hee - love it - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:18
ST Poll: Higher total domestic theatrical gross - High School Musical 3 or Twilight? -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 11:05 28
- Twilight -- nm - Epiphany Oct 22, 11:20
- HSM3 by quite a bit. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:20
- HSM 3. I think both will have huge opening weekends and then drop off major, though. -- nm - Callisto Oct 22, 11:18 1
  - This is what I think. Hard to say how huge...but I don't expect long runs and crazy high final takes. HSM is tough to call though... - Jim Oct 22, 11:23
- Twilight -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:11
- (Twilight 2 though will outrun HSM3) -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:09 4
  - MAX! *smooches* - ty97 Oct 22, 11:10 3
    - I was in the moonshine mountains of North Carolina watching family get hitched. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:12 2
      - Were you in charge of the shotgun? -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 11:12
      - Nice, congrats to your cousins -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:12
- HSM3, I hope Twlight burns. -- nm - Buzz Oct 22, 11:08
- hsm3. dano, I need you to agree to not date me on ST -- nm - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 11:07 2
  - look below towards the bottom of this board -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 11:08 1
    - whew, thanks. (last night out with P, we swapped twilight books. my 2 for the 1 I'm mailing you. - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 11:15
- If the HSM3 screencount is very wide, then it's easily the winner. I'd even predict it doubles Twilight's PSA. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 11:07
- HSM. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:07
- Twilight. HSM3 will have short legs, but be huge on DVD. -- nm - TWuG Oct 22, 11:06
- Twilight -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:06 3
  - I don't even know what it is. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:08 2
    - Based on a massive best seller, young adult novel. high school girl loves a hot young vampire. -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:10 1
      - big with girls and lots and lots of young mom's I've noticed. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:15
- HSM3 -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:06
- Twilight. - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:06 5
  - And Twilight has a huge adult female following as well. So it isn't limited to just tweens. -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:07 1
    - :( -- nm - JaxSean, Twilight Series Fan Oct 22, 11:18
  - It's never BEEN in the theaters -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:07 2
    - The first two HSM's weren't released in theaters at all? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:14 1
      - Nope, Disney Channel...then DVD, no theatrical run -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:22
I love that 538, in their individual state profiles, use "Starbucks:Walmart Ratio" as a favorable indicator for Obama. -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 11:05
anyone else get a taped phone call from Michelle Obama? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:03
The end of the format wars didn't increase Blu-ray sales. Quite the opposite (and as predicted by some), sales are stagnating. - Mop Oct 22, 11:02 11
- A lot's made of the MSRP of Blu-Ray discs, but in my experience they're only a couple bucks more than your standard DVD Special Edition 2-disc set. -- nm - Ender Oct 22, 11:16 1
  - Unless I buy at Amazon, the difference is almost always at least $10. Best Buy MSRP price gouges like crazy on Blu-Ray. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:23
- People don't have money for gas and food nowadays.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 11:06
- you watch the big box stores are going to reduce the amount of space for standard dvd's. In fact my Best Buy has already done that.... - Remlik Oct 22, 11:06 3
  - They can decrease space all they want, they won't force me to buy Blu Ray. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 22, 11:10 1
    - Not yet. Give it 5 years though, and I think (as of right now) it'll be the standard. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:14
  - I just wanna get the Blu-Ray cases to put discs in. The nicest part of them is the storage savings. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:07
- rogers charges $7.99 for new HD on-demand movies vs. $5.99 for standard def. -- nm - zork Oct 22, 11:05
- Am I the only person who doesn't mind the $1 fee....it's a buck for a disc that most likely costs 20% more at least. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:03 2
  - I don't think it's too much to ask. Very minor surcharge. But it doesn't help Blu-ray much. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 11:05 1
    - In the grand scheme of things, if you're not going to go Blu-Ray for a $1 a month in extra rental fees, you ain't going Blu-Ray. - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:06
Marlowe, saw your post on HSX. Just wanted to say thanks for that, put my thoughts about the site really well. - Buzz Oct 22, 11:00 3
- My pleasure.. I wrote if from the heart.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 11:07
- I just realized I have AdBlock on, so I don't think I was seeing the Ads on HSX like others were. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 22, 11:02 1
  - It's the ad plus the buy movie tickets box on the right side that made me go WTF?!!? -- nm - Buzz Oct 22, 11:06
Mara, just saw your blog post on HSX. Are you one of those people that count Bloomington as Southern Indiana? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:00 9
- having been there a bunch of times for work, I should know where the big cities are in IN, but I don't. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:05 1
  - The only places in Indiana I can even name are Indianapolis, Gary and French Lick -- nm - Roger More Oct 22, 11:11
- I guess I would if I thought about it. (I don't live in Bloomington, though.) -- nm - Beach Boys Oct 22, 11:03 3
  - I can't remember where you live. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:06
  - Hee, autonick from two weeks ago. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 11:03 1
    - I grew up in Jeffersonville, so I have a narrower notion of 'Southern'. Bloomington and Indy are 'central' to me. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:07
- I do. Cause it is. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:02 2
  - Nuh uh. Central. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 22, 11:07 1
    - I am here, right now, in southern Indiana. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:10
The new Oasis track isn't bad, but - ty97 Oct 22, 10:59 1
- I really like the new Killers song. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 10:59
Interesting that I don't see any HSM3 sellouts on fandango yet. I guess the tweens don't have credit cards. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 10:58 1
- They're saving for Twilight. -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:02
free Britney. the LA courts dropped the driving without a lisence case today after yesterdays hung jury -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 10:57 2
- how does that even go to a jury, let a long a hung jury? -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 10:58 1
  - I umm take it that it was an all male jury? -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 11:00
Getting mentioned on 538 has pretty much killed TheNextRight.com. -- (link) - Mop Oct 22, 10:57 1
- I got through briefly - they had a good article on error margins, but were unfortunately still peddling the already-discredited NM voter fraud thing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 10:58
for the record, i don't mind the orange. and i don't mind the look. and i get why they added social networking. - Andie Oct 22, 10:56 4
- The orange is the dealbreaker for me. There is a difference between staking out an identity and forcing a color scheme down the user's throat. -- nm - David Oct 22, 11:21
- That's sort of how I feel too. They could have left the game intact and added the social networking. They keep their core and expand their offerings - pmb Oct 22, 10:59 1
  - And it's like they haven't heard of any web technologies in this century. A portfolio should be totally AJAXed, dynamic sorting, drag/drop columns - kilboooo Oct 22, 11:00
- Should've made it a Facebook app -- nm - kilboooo Oct 22, 10:58
whoaaaaa! the ladies are up for grabs for new virtual marriages? *looks around* lileve, would you make me the happiest ST poster ever? -- nm - zork Oct 22, 10:56 1

all right craigslist, let's see how you work. I just posted the phones i won for sale.... - Andie Oct 22, 10:51 2
- *NO WHAMMIES! NO WHAMMIES!* -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 10:52 1
  - "STOP!" -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 22, 12:13
I wish my mother wore Tshirts. I would order this for her. :) -- (link) - sheba Oct 22, 10:47 2
- Heh. And note what superhero Obama is. Ha Ha, you people are voting for Superman. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 22, 10:49 1
  - Yeah, but McCain is the Mad Hatter, a second-teir Batman villain. I'll take the Boy Scout. -- nm - TWuG Oct 22, 10:50
that endorsement was real? - Mel Profit Oct 22, 10:42 9
- [deleted]
- you got a link for that? I can't find it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 10:49 3
  - Here you go... -- (link) - Mel Profit Oct 22, 10:56 2
    - your the man dawg. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:03 1
      - I charge for Back Rubs, however. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 22, 11:09
- and I'm glad it's getting a little media, in 2004 the terrorists behind the Spain attack "endorsed" Bush - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 10:48
- it's especially funny given how hard they pushed that "Obama is the candidate of Hamas" thing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 10:44 2
  - Man, I know they won't do it but if I was the Obama campaign I'd be having fun with this... -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 22, 10:45 1
    - oh sure, but you've got to have the discipline to let your opponents trip themselves up. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 10:47
Jericho fans sent tons of nuts to CBS when they protested. what should we send to HSX? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 22, 10:40 25
- condoms for all the people that feel screwed -- nm - zork Oct 22, 10:57
- Print out and mail "shares" of PINK2. Surelly someone here can make a PDF of a PINK2 certificate. -- nm - TWuG Oct 22, 10:52 2
  - This would be good as a legitimate mail-in protest. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 10:57
  - They are renaming it ORNG2.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 10:55
- Thick prescription glasses -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 10:48

- I don't care enough to send anything. So long, HSX. -- nm - Mop Oct 22, 10:42
- whatever it is, everyone needs to send 312.5 of them -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 10:42
- The heads of their consultants. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 10:42 6
  - That could work. Everyone send a paper plate, stained red in the middle, and write the message *place consultants head here* with an arrow . -- nm - sheba Oct 22, 10:50
  - I like this idea.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 10:48 4
    - I think we can safely cancel our invites to the HSX Xmas party. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 10:49 3
      - Oh, the horror.. Orange X-mas trees.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 22, 10:53 2

I feel like resetting my fund to zero just for the hell of it I'm so pissed off at what they did to HSX. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 10:40 6
- That would be uncool. If you are fed up, give up the fund and let HSX re-assign it. - ty97 Oct 22, 10:44
- That would be uncool. If you are fed up, give up the fund and let -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 10:44
- we've talked about selling off all of KIDS and just riding interest up to 100M... - colin Oct 22, 10:41 3
  - Selling OIff a Fund like KIDS may be the type of message HSX needs. -- nm - gordon06 Oct 22, 10:48 1
    - If you think HSX gives a rat's ass about the funds, you are sadly mistaken. -- nm - Spawn Oct 22, 11:12

Rhona Mitra as Catwoman? count it as a rumor...but a good choice.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 22, 10:39 5
- Mitra is a lay in the windowsill and purr cat. The rooftop prowler Catwoman needs a Thandie Newton. -- nm - Max Oct 22, 10:52
- I'm just happy that people think Nolan will use the cat in #3 -- nm - crash davis Oct 22, 10:45 1
