Going through some old LPs looking for Elvis - only found his Christmas albums - but did find... - MojaveMeg Jul 17, 10:34 4
- I had the 2001 one but my brother used it for an art project and painted over the cover. Also had the Woodstock album but lent to at school for someth - zork Jul 17, 10:41

- again? - oblique Jul 17, 10:31 2
  - new one looks like as they announced it today -- nm - Beaker Jul 17, 10:34
  - Well, it *is* Tuesday. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 10:32
Little Steven may miss some shows so he can film more Lillyhammer episodess -- (link) - Remlik Jul 17, 10:26 1
- Holy moly, do I love his show Underground Garage - con_carne Jul 17, 10:40
[deleted] 5
- I remember him from history books! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 17, 10:24 4
  - You gotta figure any guy with that first name earns automatic douchebag status in certain states -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:42
  - I swear, every time I hear his name as an active player it feels like he's been playing for 30 years. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 10:26 2
    - He's been around since 94-95 -- iirc, him and Jason Kidd are both the same time frame. - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:29 1
      - wacky. Kidd doesn't seem that old to me but I believe it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 10:31
Dawson, if you want to be spoiled I have the set-list for the JLo and Enrique Iglesias concert - MDH Jul 17, 10:19 2

Camping? -- (link) - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 10:15 4
- Hunting don't camp. - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:21
- (any of our Maryland peeps ever been out here? thoughts?) -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 10:16 2
  - I've never stayed at that one, but I've been to others in that area - Deep Creek, Swallow Falls, Herrington Manor - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:20 1
    - I was at Rocky Gap years ago, and while I don't remember much, I echo the comment on MD's state parks. -- nm - MDH Jul 17, 10:22

- "Couldn't be! Guess who!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 10:18
hmm, some borderlands 2 detail on a new NPC. -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:06
Made this over the weekend, simple and good. Chicken breasts and bbq sauce in a crock pot...8 hours later...awesome! - ceregon Jul 17, 10:00 5
- I'm such a BBQ sauce novice. - con_carne Jul 17, 10:06
- I use thighs, a sliced medium onion, and chicken stock and add the BBQ sauce after I pull. -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 10:05 3
  - I did that yesterday with the addition of a can of diced Mexican tomatoes. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 17, 10:29
  - I use thighs and cover it with a mix of peanut butter, salsa, soy sauce and lemon - Epiphany Jul 17, 10:20
  - this -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 17, 10:13
in other gaming, beyond borderlands 2, and halo 4, what other games is the st group considering? - tRuMaN Jul 17, 09:57 37
- I could get behind a racing game. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 10:26 18
  - If we do, I'd like a real racing game; not some Burnout hybrid...we never could get much going in that regard given the lack of direction. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:30 17
    - Blur is not real racing, that's for sure. At least I've never seen NASCAR with rocket launchers and mines -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:30 8
      - I mean more from a standpoint of "Random driving around, finding a challenge....." - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:34 7
        
        I think you'd like Blur. It's straight up racing with the element of "combat" -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:37 6
        
        that would be fine with me. A race with battling. I liked burnout, but it was to open -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 10:46
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Both. I've played the single player but it does up to 8 player multiplayer -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:47
        
        And most importantly...how many co-ops.....and does it try to have a close finish or does best driver win? - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:46 1
        
        Never seen anything like that. The weapons and power-ups really make it so that the race can turn quickly for or against you -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:47
        
        I'll take a look at it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:37
    - Forza's about as real as it gets other than iRacing. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:30 7
      - Forza 3 is under $20 at Amazon. Is it fun? - spamlet Jul 17, 10:33 6
        
        (I've spent $80 for the LCE FM4 plus about another $80 for the DLC) -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:40
        
        It's fun but the community is probably shrunk with FM4 out. FM4 added a Rivals mode online where you get money for beating opponent times - Max Jul 17, 10:39 4
        
        But if we all spent $20 on FM3 then I wouldn't care about other community. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 10:41 3
        
        True. I don't know how much you Halo guys matchmake with other online players. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:43 2
        
        If we have 8 of us racing, we'd have limited reason to play others.... - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:45
        
        Pretty much always -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:43
- huh, today only best buy has Need for Speed: The Run for $5. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:18
- Assassins Creed, and Black Ops 2. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 10:15
- Isn't max all about Forza? -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:14 7
  - Any non-Forza title is blasphemy. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 10:28
  - btw, I also have Blur if anyone ever wants to play. That game is fun -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:16 5
    - hmm, if its cheap, maybe worth it just to get away from shooters. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:17 4
      - $20 -- (link) - oblique Jul 17, 10:18 3
        
        hmm, what about used.... i should look that up. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:18 2
        
        I'm sure you can find it cheaper on eBay. Gamestop has it for $20 used :) -- nm - oblique Jul 17, 10:19 1
        
        amazon has it for $15 (warehouse deals, used) -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:20
- I'm only looking forward to Borderlands 2 but I would love to get a new racing game. I never played any of the Need for Speed games - Krusty Jul 17, 10:12 2
  - its supposed to be like need for speed smashed together and mated with Burnout. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:13 1
    - I've played Forza but not those two. I'd give 'em a try. I'm a fan of racing games. - Krusty Jul 17, 10:32
- The only other one that's on my radar right now is Quantum Conundrum. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 17, 10:03
- oh heck yeah. I'd love a racing a game. Gran Tourismo must have one coming out. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 10:01 3
  - Gran Turismo is PS exclusive, so that's probably a no-go. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 17, 10:12 2
    - ah. thanks -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 10:22 1
      - Unrelated question from the backboards: - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 17, 10:32
regarding the cutting of power on McCartney and Springsteen, it was 10:15pm and the town council were responding to complaints of loud noise. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 09:53 4
- It's only billionaires who can afford to live round Hyde Park so best not to piss them off. -- nm - LMS Jul 17, 10:16
- So what happens when a couple gets their freak on around that time? -- nm - budice Jul 17, 09:55 2
  - That wouldn't last for more than a minute or two. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 10:04
  - it's England. - Remlik Jul 17, 09:59
uh oh, critic calls Dark Knight Rises an "epic letdown" -- (link) - groiny Jul 17, 09:52 5
- Trust the Nolan. I do. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 10:07
- [deleted]
- It is absolutely inevitable that a certain percentage of viewers feel this way about the final Nolan/Batman film. -- nm - David Jul 17, 10:06
- Sometimes when critics pan a popular movie, you never hear from them again -- nm - budice Jul 17, 09:54
- it was still 91% at RT yesterday. The bad ones seem to be comparing it to the last one rather than on it's own merits -- nm - Beaker Jul 17, 09:54
Fuzzy, a policy against homosexuals has no purpose other than to bar gays. And the stated reason for doing so is that gays are immoral. - TWuG Jul 17, 09:52 32
- I am waiting to hear Jim's response to this. He and his family are really into Scouts -- nm - amoxy Jul 17, 10:18 11
  - While I would disagree with this policy, I wouldn't use it to dismiss the Boy Scouts out of hand. - Dano Jul 17, 10:36
  - Jim chose wisely and did not take on the board on this topic. - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:22 9
    - Jim has discussed it before, i don't like to speak for him, but he doesn't like the policy. - Andie Jul 17, 10:29 2
      - Yeah I kind of went that way unintentionally. - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:38
      - I'll echo Andie's post. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 10:32
    - Yep. -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 10:24 5
      - This is why I should avoid ST during the day. It is better if I just catch up later when it is too late to add my opinion. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:30 4
        
        nah, it's more fun this way. :) -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 10:46
        
        debate is good. No subject is agreed on 100% here...ever. - Beaker Jul 17, 10:38 1
        
        one of these days we'll all agree on the DH and the board wil implode. -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 10:44
        
        You just have to kind of learn what will generate three boards of discussion and avoid it :) - spamlet Jul 17, 10:32 1
- They are getting roasted right now in Canada over their background checks on Scoutmasters and lacl of reporting of abuse claims. -- nm - Beaker Jul 17, 10:08
- In all seriousness, please show me an official statement from the BSA that says that homosexuality is immoral. I have never seen one. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:55 18
  - Inside - TWuG Jul 17, 09:59
  - [deleted]
  - I think people are mixing the professional side and volunteer side together. - CQ Jul 17, 09:59 8
    - that being said, I'd just call it the CQ Fun Camp and have no affiliation with the BSA. heh -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 10:01 7
      - I'm thinking parents would be hesitant to send their kids to "CQ Fun Camp". -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Jul 17, 10:05 6
        
        surfing, kayaking, swimming, biking, running, household chores, what? -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 10:06 5
        
        sand-blasting, chemical scouring, epoxy application, basic pump maintenance. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 10:10 4
        
        heh - read that as "amoxy application" -- nm - Dano Jul 17, 10:38
        
        Listen musubi, it's not polite to impersonate others. - Will Hunting Jul 17, 10:11 2
        
        *slaps your forehead* I still get credit for the OM. - Mel Profit Jul 17, 10:14 1
        
        sounded good. We could use a guy like you -- nm - CQ Jul 17, 10:15
  - [deleted] 6
    - Another serious request -- What reasoning do they give for excluding girls? I know there have been legal challenges to that policy as well. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:10 3
      - IIRC, Boy Scouts were started when many boys lost fathers in the war and was formed to give them male role models -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 17, 10:17
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Ok. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:12
    - ouch -- nm - zork Jul 17, 10:01
    - Thank you. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 10:00
st poll: Which do you use: "a quarter of" or "a quarter to"? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 09:50 18
- to or til -- nm - mara Jul 17, 10:17
- to or til -- nm - JaxSean Jul 17, 10:03
- I don't think I've ever heard "a quarter of" -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 09:56 7
  - it's British, isn't it? -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 10:05 6
    - I haven't found anything on this - except that it's mainly American. -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 10:27 4
      - it's New England-ish I believe. Confused the hell out of me until it was explained which way it meant. I only know of it around Boston and maybe some - zork Jul 17, 10:43 2
        
        Makes sense that kelly is the only one who's posted saying she uses it. -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 10:45 1
        
        when I heard 10 of 3, I expected that it meant 10 minutes of the 3 o'clock hour will have gone by. nope. -- nm - zork Jul 17, 10:46
      - huh. who knew? -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 10:30
    - i hear it used a lot at/by - tRuMaN Jul 17, 10:09
- to -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 09:56
- "to", but I always say "quartery to ....." - prayformojo Jul 17, 09:55 1
  - Quartery to and C-3PO -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 09:57
- beer o' clock! -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 09:53
- of. -- nm - kelly Jul 17, 09:53
- Half past a monkey's a**, a quarter to... -- nm - budice Jul 17, 09:53
- Equal opportunity on both and "til" as well. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 09:53
- "to" -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 09:51
I think we're getting closer to that hologram Princess Leia reality everyday. -- (link) - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:49
Andie, serious answer -- The same thing they are teaching by not allowing girls. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:48 7
- that they are something "other", to be shunned and excluded and generally held in lower regard than your peers? -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 09:53 2
  - Really? You think that the boys learn that all that about girls based on the membership policy? -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:57 1
    - maybe not to that extent, but the whole point of exclusionary socialization is to strengthen identifcation among the "in-group" - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 10:04
- [deleted]
- but girls are allowed to be scouts. just not at the same meetings as boy scouts. they aren't persona non grata for the organization. -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 09:50 2
  - Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are different organzations. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 17, 09:52 1
    - Though there are subdivision of the BSA that allow girls. (Exploring/Venturing) -- nm - Ender Jul 17, 10:13

- Reporting for duty - SIR! -- nm - Scraps the fun lovin Hooker Pack Master Jul 17, 09:47
- That's an interesting badge. What you have to do to earn...nevermind. -- nm - bc/nc Jul 17, 09:46
- "How far does $20 get me?" -- nm - budice Jul 17, 09:46
