ug. just got a doughnut at Krispy kreme. it tasted like intense concentrated sugar :(( -- nm - peglegpete Oct 4, 11:58 7
- that's pretty much the definition of a KK donut -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 12:01
- In general, it should be one of the last places you'll want to go if you want a donut. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:59 2
  - I normally avoid them, but it was free -- nm - peglegpete Oct 4, 12:00 1
    - Understandable. I mean, I wouldn't turn one down either. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 12:00
- too too much sugar -- nm - peglegpete Oct 4, 11:59 1

  - That must be why Bush always stuck to his guns. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 12:01
So what's the conservative hard-on for killing PBS? - Mel Profit Oct 4, 11:51 5
- Notice how that's practically the only real takeaway from the debate. The only memorable moment. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:54 2
  - as much as I'm in the bag for one of the guys, I don't think so. - Mel Profit Oct 4, 12:02
  - Because it's an epic "What the FUCK are you idiots rambling about?!" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:55
- it's a liberal indoctrination factory - znufrii Oct 4, 11:51 1

- IPO Footloose 2 -- nm - Max Oct 4, 11:55 1
  - is it a sequel to the first one? or the remake? -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 11:58
- It was Utah -- nm - amoxy Oct 4, 11:52 1
  - sure, but, the girls didn't even break the policy that i can see. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:53
- That's nothing compared to some of the homecoming pics I saw from my Facebook feed. Most were fine but there were a few WTF outfits - oblique Oct 4, 11:52
- I would ban them for being ugly dresses, not for being too short. -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:49 1
  - they are high school prom dresses. you can't judge them by your taste. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:50

I only found this because when looking at my flickr stats (picture at the top), but interesting article... "New Health Canada Guidelines Advise Meat - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:40 1
- neat. I have one in my feed that was used by a pyrotechnics company that does the lead-in for the local hockey team -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:44

Jim Cramer thinks HP might be the next Kokak. I don't know whether to agree or to buy HP because Cramer's an idiot. - ty97 Oct 4, 11:26 12
- Heh. My wife just told me today that her company is switching the nurses from Dell to HPs. That's like trading a giant turd for a pile of poo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 12:00
- they are still i think the overwhelming market leader in ink jet's (atleast here) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 4, 11:42
- I think he's wrong. HP's got a huge slate valuable of B2B services and products, likely more than enough to sustain them if their consumer stuff flops -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:31 4
  - see: IBM -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:31 3
    - IBM is one of the best run companies anywhere... HP is a poorly run company that sells things that increasingly people don't want - SG3 Oct 4, 11:43 1
      - well after the transition to digi photo their sales were bound to decline - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 4, 11:44
    - Exactly. They sold their entire consumer laptop division to Lenovo, but they are so entrenched in other areas that they barely noticed. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:33
- Kramer is an idiot, and he's right. I posted a Mercury News editorial that said as much. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 11:29 2
  - This. -- (link) - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 11:34 [Backboard] 1
    - Some good points, for sure. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 11:40
- not sure I agree with that (as usual when it comes to Cramer). Their core businesses are still fairly sound -- nm - decline Oct 4, 11:28
- In what way? I don't really see them as wrapped up in potentially obsolete technology -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:27
(hee) "Yo Mitt Romney, Sesame Street is brought to you today by the letters F & U!" -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:24 14
- I didn't watch the whole debate...someone want to nutshell the Sesame Street thing? -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:26 13
  - Rmoney wants to kill Big Bird. BTW, "Big Bird" posts on FB went uo 800,000% last night. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:28 2
    - I look forward to the two bolts and a nut the military buys with the PBS share of the $2 trillion in increased funding. -- nm - TWuG Oct 4, 11:32 1
      - *nods* What a joke. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:41
  - He basically said he would end funding to PBS -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:28 9
    - Ah...thanks. So if he comes up missing, does that make Bert the #1 suspect? -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:28
    - But called out the Bird and Jim by name. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:28 7
      - What? He called me out by name? -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:29 5
        
        I know! Now you understand why we're all so annoyed with him. Just sticking up for you. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 4, 11:30
        
        If you watch the unedited live stream, he said "Jim, that fucktard" -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:29 2
        
        Sonofabitch! Now I got to cut him. -- nm - Jim Oct 4, 11:30 1
        
        You didn't hear it from me, but he has his off switch in the same place as Data from Star Trek. -- nm - TWuG Oct 4, 11:33
        
        Yup. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:29
      - Yes, he said it despite the fact he likes Jim and Big Bird -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:29
LIR: groiny, maybe it is a male/female thing. I sure see that already between my kids at school. The stuff girls are dealing with - oblique Oct 4, 11:24 51
- third world despots are less nasty than a pack of middle school girls. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:24 50
  - ultimately, though, these are just words, no? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:25 49
    - Once might be just words. But hearing it systematically - like every day, or from an authority figure, is bullying. - Roger More Oct 4, 11:38 3
      - or how about people stealing and breaking your belongings? -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:41 2
        
        well, that is an actual crime, so..... nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 1
        
        not as if you can do anyting about it, your life will become an even worse hell. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:43
    - There are all sorts of studies that show how harmful bullying is on development. Keep in mind that kids brains are not fully developed and they don't - pmb Oct 4, 11:32 22
      - Here's an article on the subject. - pmb Oct 4, 11:36
      - fact: the part of the brain that understands 'consequences' isn't fully developed till you are 25. they don't have perspective like we do. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:36
      - I really do find this fascinating. - groiny Oct 4, 11:35 19

        well, we are not exactly the target demo for bullying. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:44

        not helping! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:38
        
        what else do you call it? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:37 10
        
        "grade school", or just "elementary school" if you're specifically talking the first 5 or 6 grades. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:38 8
        
        curious. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:39 7
        
        it's grade school, sorry dude - oblique Oct 4, 11:42 6
        
        not in my world it is not. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:42 5
        
        the south side is a different world, for sure -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:44 4
        
        for one, we do not kiss our cows good night down here. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:45 3
        
        ...we're just wham, bam, thank you heffer kind of guys -- nm - groiny si Oct 4, 11:46 2
        
        Moo! -- nm - Epiphany the CM Oct 4, 11:48 1
        
        come, park your bovine ass on my lap, Bessie! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:49
        
        we call it 'primary' or 'grade' school. -- nm - Andie Oct 4, 11:38
        
        I went to school with boys like that. it was a nightmare. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:36
    - girls only have words. They don't get into fistfights. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:30 8
      - They also have ladyparts. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:31 1
        
        this is fals... oh wait. -- nm - amanda Oct 4, 11:34
      - That's not necessarily true. I seen some girls throw down...and they ain't playing. That's like fighting to the death and shit. - Jim Oct 4, 11:31 4
        
        no, you're right. But it's less common. and girls do not let up. Sometimes you can try to stand up to them and it only gets much worse. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:33
        
        They rip hair out. Bru--tal stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 11:32 1

        PILLOW FIGHT!! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:32
      - in my school, they did. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:31
    - nope. alot of suicides over that type of thing. FB, twitter and all that shit just makes it even worse...and easier -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 11:30 8
      - it makes it all the more pervasive, as kids connect more and more, they have less and less safe space -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:33
      - luckily, I have not had to go through this with my daughter yet. - groiny Oct 4, 11:32 6
        
        How old is she now? Eventually you'll have to let her otherwise it just makes it even more enticing. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:33 5
        
        11. some of her friends have it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:34 4
        
        well, FB itself has a minimum age of 13, so you can use that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:35 3
        
        This is what we're doing (my guy is 12). The requirement is also that we have his passwords and that we are friends with him -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:36 2
        
        until he figures out how to change his password or creates an alternate account. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 4, 11:37 1
        
        If I found his password changed, it's end of the line. I already cut off his wifi access at 10pm by mac address - oblique Oct 4, 11:38
    - You really don't understand women. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 11:29
    - "just"? -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:28 2
      - sticks and stones, right? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:29 1
        
        just because something we tell ourselves to make us feel better does mean it's true. -- nm - znufrii Oct 4, 11:31
