- oh, there are errands. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 09:36 3
  - For what? No church and no reception. She could do everything this week and give us the car for the weekend. Oh, she has no job. She's home all day - Krusty Oct 4, 09:38 2

- He is a perfect match for his wife -- nm - amoxy Oct 4, 09:15 2

    - Also Sons of Anarchy (FX). -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 09:17

You have to look at the topic of the debate: the economy - ceregon Oct 4, 09:03
heheh, I am bored this morning. Possible response to "Good morning!" -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:03
Oh, I get it! Obama's going all Ali on Romney, pulling the rope-a-dope, tiring him out. Come January or February... Romney's toast! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 08:57 22
- I just think it is a matter of being difficult to play defense as a sitting president, because you have actual policy and decisions to attack. - volnelk Oct 4, 09:04 6
  - Sure, tangible results are always harder to defend...but every counter to Romney should have been a Romney quote from Romney. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:21 1
    - Well, when they're not working. If things were going great then tangible results would be easy to defend. -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 09:24
  - I really liked that Obama mentioned a few times (in the little time I watched) that Romney keeps talking about his "plans" but never offers up what - Jim Oct 4, 09:06 3
    - Yep. That was Obama's best line. Something like "Why don't we know? Is it that these plans are so good they can't tell us?" -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 09:09 1
      - Because they would BLOW YOUR MIND, baby. -- nm - mara Oct 4, 09:12
    - Didn't McCain say that same thing about Obama (and vice-versa)? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:07
- I can't see talking about taxes and not even mentioning the 47% as an accident - SG3 Oct 4, 09:03 7
  - Romney's last 2 weeks have been bad....the first debate is the biggest debate...there's no person in the political world who wouldn't want to Own - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:19 6
    - but he couldn't have just forgotten about the 47% issue during a tax discussion - SG3 Oct 4, 09:23 4
      - You hope not, but either way, it's a mistake. Debate #1 is the most viewed every cycle. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:38
      - The official explanation is that they thought it was "Played out", which is a huge error. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:32 1
        
        Then why the hell did I see 10 airings of the commercial Tuesday night? - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:36
      - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 09:25
    - "I believe Obama won the expectations-lowering game for round two." -- twitter. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:22

- I posted one possible dissection of the strategy on B2 -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 08:57 3
  - Here's how I see it in debate 2... - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 09:00
  - Inigo said "There's no way they'd lose a debate on purpose in a close race". Which is a fair point, but I think it's open to critique. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:00
  - On a previous board? What are the odds? -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 08:59
I bet that PSY live show was shown on NK TV as "South Korean military drills". -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 08:56
Fine, I'll say it. Homer or not...I think the Cardinals take out the Braves and Nationals. - Jim Oct 4, 08:52 2
- [deleted]
- As a Reds fan, Cardinals scare me to death. They aren't afraid of us for 5 seconds. -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 08:53

- Are you getting snow, or is it just the northern part of the state? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:53 1

A sophomore girl in my study hall, who admittedly can't vote, just told everyone that she only realized last night that Obama was his last name. - volnelk Oct 4, 08:48 17
- High school or college? -- nm - mara Oct 4, 09:18 2
  - colleges have study hall?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 09:19 1

- and this is why you should be allowed to hit your students. -- nm - mafic Oct 4, 08:54 1
  - "Being stupid as sh*t? You better believe that's a paddlin'!" -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:55
- "Well people always call him Obama" "Yeah, but they didn't call the last president George." "I guess. I don't know. Whatever. I dont vote." -- nm - Real exchange that just happened Oct 4, 08:52 1
  - eesh -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 09:07
- "I thought his first name was Vote For" -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 08:49
- WHO SAYS TEACHERS DON'T DESERVE A RAISE? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 08:49
- oh my. (are you a teacher?) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:49 1
  - Yes. Business though, not government. She's just in my study hall. -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 08:50
- and this is why the founding fathers invented the Electoral College. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 08:49
- oh, wow. -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 08:49 1
  - I went to high school with people like her. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 08:49
Does anyone here play The Simpons: Tapped Out game? - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:46 1
- well, if you have an ipad I recommend it (hint *david* hint). It's free. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:54
Damnit. Twitter just recommended that the @slackertalk account should follow the @hashtags account because it is followed by @davidmumpower :/ --nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 08:46
Two observations: I didn't expect Tennant to be taller than Smith. And Piper, with that lipstick, looks like the Joker. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 08:38 7
- The other thing Piper has going on is the Scouse brow. it's trendy in the UK to wear thick, dark eyebrows. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 08:40 1
  - And the bagelhead, of course. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 08:43
- Google says Tennant is 6'1" (didn't expect that) and Smith is 5'11.5". -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 08:39 4
  - Wow. Must just be the shape of his body, but he looked very short to me. 6'1"? Good for him! -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 08:43
  - But that 11.5" is all forehead. -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 08:39 2
    - And tiny eyes. Wait, we are talking about Woll Smoth, right? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 08:43
    - he has a great face. It's like a weird mishmash of stuff that shouldn't work, but it does. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 08:40

Hip Hop doesn't belong in the R&R HoF. Either call it the music HoF or stop including non-rock acts. - Krusty Oct 4, 08:35 7
- see, i never thought of it as 'only classic rock' Hall of Fame. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 08:47 6
  - I don't think of it as classic rock, just rock and roll. Hip hop and rap aren't that and I don't think they should be included. - Krusty Oct 4, 08:51 5
    - okay, so why not Rush ? -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 09:17
    - what if it was retitled "rock and/or roll"? ;) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:52 3
      - Heh. :-) - Krusty Oct 4, 08:53
      - ABC Music Hall of Fame! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 08:52 1

  - interesting. you don't have to lay down water or power anymore. It just follows the roads -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 08:46
  - yeah, the gameplay aspects are immersive -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 08:44
- what systems/formats will it be on? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:42 3
  - PC only -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 08:43 2
    - that's lame. I wish they put out a new ipad version; the current is buggy and unimpressive. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 08:44
    - (Plus Mac.) -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 08:44
pantered is not a word -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 08:32 3
- Panthered. Sex PANTHERED. - Epiphany the CM Oct 4, 08:51 1
