- Apple fanboys. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 07:22
- I'm thinking it will be as popular as the Social Network. Am I off base? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 23, 07:21 3
  - a *major* difference, though, is the director. David Fincher vs. who? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:23 1
    - Yeah, I probably wouldn't have bothered with The Social Network if it weren't for Fincher and Sorkin. -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 07:28

  - Yeah, Irene hit a few days later. (My sister has been in CA for a couple years and was visiting us at the time. It's still her first quake - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:20
- Haha, a 5.8 anniversary. There was a 5.5 last week off our coast. Didn't even make the local news. - Bacon Aug 23, 07:19 4
  - Did you feel it? It's no 8.3 or whatever hit Japan, but 5.8 is nothing to sneeze at even for folks near California. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:22 3
    - I was in a 7.1 and that shit was big. We had 5 pointers many times in the Bay Area. One day we had a swarm of 6 of them. - Bacon Aug 23, 07:24 2

  - *nods quietly to Pips* -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 07:17
LIR: spamlet. *nods* It wasn't like a full out talk but I did spend a lot of time talking about slang terms for stuff - oblique Aug 23, 07:12 2
- *cries* -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 07:38
- I'd love to know what she told him. ("And remember when a girl is - Don Homer Aug 23, 07:15
Faris just strikes me as naturally funny. It comes to hear easily I think. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 23, 07:12 7
- I agree....and she can help elevate some stuff....but she was gallingly bad in this. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 07:15 1
