Do you guys know why the cigarette lighter on an early 00s American sedan wouldn't work for inflating a mattress? Secret switch or something? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 19:58 8
- Is the ignition on? Some power outlets/lighters only work if it is. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 1, 20:06 2

the olympics committee didn't mention dominance at all when baseball was voted out. - b. Aug 1, 18:42 21
- This is what was said in 2004 about baseball - it comes down to "not enough countries, expensive facilities and MLB" - Roger More Aug 1, 18:58 5
  - Okay I was wrong about dominance being the official stance but that was how some of the reporting put it. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 19:45
  - it's hard enough to shut down the NHL in the middle of the season, there's no way MLB would stop in July/August for a few players to be in the Olympic - zork Aug 1, 19:11 2
    - I wonder if the only reason hockey works in the Olympics is because Canada really, really, really want to beat the US at hockey :) -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 19:14 1

- That's not how it was reported 4 years ago. Dominance was mentioned as the reson at that time. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 1, 18:46 1
  - news from 4 years ago is completely and totally googleable. aside from a little skewing, which - b. Aug 1, 18:52

  - "So why single out baseball, other than because the European IOC powers persistently and erroneously view it as strictly an American sport?" -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 1, 18:47 11
    - that is one thought in that piece, and it isn't because of dominance, it's because of interest and participation levels. it is mostly played in *the - b. Aug 1, 18:56 10
      - And yes b, I know you still don't like me. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 19:51 9
        
        so there's that. - b! Aug 1, 20:12 8
        
        I never wished you dead. I never wish that on anyone. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:21 7
        
        yes you did. - b! Aug 1, 20:31 6
        
        what? the? fuck? I never. Just plain lie on your part. And that makes you a liar. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:35 5
        
        it's the trut -- nm - b! Aug 1, 20:37 4

        You just proved me right on what I said about you her today. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:50
        
        You're seriously delusional. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:40 1
        
        I would still accept an apology, so, yah, maybe. - b! Aug 1, 20:42
Christopher Eccleston as the villain in Thor 2? Yes please. -- nm - David Aug 1, 18:40 25
- oh, *hell* yeah. -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 19:02
- He's not scandinavian.. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 1, 18:42 23
  - What? Eccleston is a fine Scandinavian name. - Beryllium Aug 1, 19:28
  - I guess he'll fit right in then, as the actor who played Thor is Australian, and the one who played Loki is British. -- nm - kelly Aug 1, 18:48 17
    - Precisely why I haven't seen it. None of them are. - the liioulu with Aug 1, 18:50 16

        I am loving this thread. -- nm - kelly Aug 1, 19:11 13
        
        Thor was my favorite comic when I was a kid. And as an STer you should realize that might make me a fangirl who's a little picky about this title. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 19:54 12
        
        Sorry, but "I won't watch the movies because the actors' heritage don't match their characters'" is funny. - kelly Aug 1, 20:04 8
        
        please read what I posted below. and my im above. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:06 7
        
        I saw those, in addition to the other stuff you posted about the actors not being Scandinavian, which is what I was addressing. :) -- nm - kelly Aug 1, 20:09 6
        
        And you're being condescending about it. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:10 5
        
        No, she's being funny about it. - Stephen, in Fantasy Football Hell Aug 1, 20:13 4
        
        She wasn't being funny. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:16 3
        
        And you weren't making a very convincing argument... *shrug* -- nm - kelly Aug 1, 20:18 1
        
        I was making an argument? I was stating my ridiculous point of view. I didn't expect to sway anyone else to it. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:24
        
        *shrug* I was laughing. -- nm - Stephen, in Fantasy Football Hell Aug 1, 20:17
        
        Roman history is by far my favorite history subject, and I'd have been an idiot not to watch Rome just cause the actors were...*gasp* - Stephen Aug 1, 19:59 2
        
        My overriding objection on this one is Brannagh directing. - the liioulu with carved wax Aug 1, 20:03 1
        
        that's fair. it's not particularly good anyway, so you're not missing much. -- nm - mafic Aug 1, 20:13
