  - Do you kiss your clients with that mouth? -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:34 6
    - I'm sorry if I've offended. I'm pretty sure that I'm using the correct technical terms. - pmb Jul 17, 12:38 5
      - Mostly I'm just interested in how many clients you've kissed. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 12:51

        Did I tell ST about my illegally weighted car? - Spawn Jul 17, 12:38 2
        
        let me guess... - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 12:41 1
        
        You are smart. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:43

    - become a leader! -- nm - Andie Jul 17, 12:31 2
      - If that allows me slap parents around that need it, cool. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:32 1
        
        Bitch Slapping Badge - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:44
Bush Sr. not attending the GOP Convention due to health reasons. -- (link) - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 12:22 6
- Will Bush Jr be allowed to show? will he (try) to speak? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 12:33 1
  - don't know. Ron Paul is out of the convention, couldn't get enough support in Nebraska. -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 12:41
- Yeah, he's sick of what's been done to the party he served for decades. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 12:22 3
  - Meh - lots of that was done by his friends, his political allies, his mentees, his son... -- nm - Roger More Jul 17, 12:40
  - and also Parkinson's disease. -- nm - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 12:23 1
    - hate hate hate -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:24
Roger More, spoil me on what the thee candidates say about Romney pre-debate? -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:21 3
- (in Game Change) -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:26 2
  - There's a poorly transcribed version of it here - but the gist is they all didn't like him and didn't think he stood for anything. - Roger More Jul 17, 12:36 1
    - This is pretty awesome. Thanks. -- nm - con_carne Jul 17, 12:46

Crap, now I need headphones too, don't I? -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 12:21 11
- and i think the x12 (linked), is the st headset of choice at the moment. -- (link) - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:25 6
  - Yeah, but this just went from a $20 to a $75 impulse buy :\ - spamlet Jul 17, 12:26 5
    - FWIW, the S12 is well worth what it costs. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 12:49
    - there are cheaper options out there. you only need the headset for gaming sound. - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:27 3
      - I think a cheap mic came with my Xbox in the holiday bundle. I may just do that right now. - spamlet Jul 17, 12:29 2
        
        yeah, that is the simple option. the headset will be fine for the game chat, it wont have any game audio. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:30 1
        
        That's why you have volume on the tv. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 12:31
- Only if you want to hear me go "Meep meep" as I fly past you. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 12:21 3
  - Does a normal bluetooth headset work in the interim? -- nm - spamlet Jul 17, 12:23 2
    - I don't know that...I'm still on the headset I got 5 years ago when I bought. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 12:24
    - no. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 17, 12:24
"Now you're just somebody that I used to blow." -- nm - Qale Jul 17, 12:20 1
- This is crazy. - Spawn Jul 17, 12:21
peanuts peanuts peanuts, you're such a lovely snack. but when I eat too quickly, peanuts, you make me gack. - amanda Jul 17, 12:20 11
- god is punishing you for killing the bathroom radio -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 17, 12:21 9
  - I didn't *kill* it. it just *died.* (maybe we can have a solar one??) -- nm - amanda Jul 17, 12:27 5
    - a solar one in the bathroom? - Epiphany Jul 17, 12:48 1
      - didn't she just paint her bathroom sunshine yellow? or was that ty? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 12:50
    - a likely story. - evil atheist znufrii Jul 17, 12:31
    - the moisture probably corroded the works inside. you'll need a marine quality radio or just buy cheap ones and replace -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 12:30 1
      - 8th grade - oblique Jul 17, 12:30
  - Wait... yesterday was not just a fluke? -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:22 2
    - no news this morning. I am like 22% dumber than usual. -- nm - amanda Jul 17, 12:28 1
      - heh. I was refering to pixie stinking the place up, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:29
- *snork* - Spawn Jul 17, 12:21
MDH...yet again Stewart does the work of real Op/Ed Columnists. That piece is tremendous. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 17, 12:18
Vote! -- nm - Spawn Jul 17, 12:16 2
