ooo...it's the Mulder/Scully and Kirk/Tribble episode of Star Trek DS9 -- nm - Remlik Oct 12, 08:01
Shot in the dark poll: Does Zero Dark Thirty get a Best Picture nomination? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:58 1
- Yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:00
I haven't been following the baseball postseason much, but it's pretty cool that all 4 LDS's went the full five games -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:50 1
- I think it's pretty cool as well...the only negative about it is that it will reflect well on Bud Selig... - Jim Oct 12, 07:58
As much as I hate to admit it, I like the new Taylor Swift song. -- nm - sycor Oct 12, 07:47 16
- I'm sort of obsessed with the new Muse song. I've never been a huge Muse fan, but that song is great. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 07:56 11
  - I think the only Muse song I know is the one that was "We Will Be Victorious!" That was them, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 08:01 2
    - how have you avoided Super Massive Blackhole? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 08:07
    - Yeah, that's Uprising -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 08:02
  - It doesn't really work for me. he's openly trying to be Freddy Mercury, but the boring ballad FM. - Reagen Oct 12, 08:01
  - what is the new Muse song? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:58 3
    - Madness....I love the video.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 12, 07:59 [youtube] 1
      - tight -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 08:08
    - Madness. Here. -- (link) - pmb Oct 12, 07:59 [youtube]
  - I love Muse's albums from 01, 03, and 06. I'm still deciding how I feel about this latest. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:58 2
    - I miss when they were sort of a cross between Radiohead and Tool. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 08:05 1
      - Yep. I was hoping the new album reverted back to toward the early 00s stuff rather than continuing the progression of The Resistance album. - ty97 Oct 12, 08:08
- Fact: The Romeo/Juliet song is the only song of hers I know. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:50 3
  - the only one I would recognize is the never ever song. I feel like we must have her on muzak at work but I don't know who she is. -- nm - amanda Oct 12, 07:51 2
    - The never ever song is one of the more insipid musical creations of late. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 08:04 1
      - i have no real issue with Taylor Swift, but the wide eyed innocent bit is getting a wee bit tiresome. - Andie Oct 12, 08:07

I'm trying to arrange a night out for Heather and my 10th anniversary tomorrow night - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:45 1
- Tell her you are a dirty and perverted man and want to wisk her away for the night -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:47

- source link -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 07:55
- Miami -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Oct 12, 07:53 1
  - And that's that last one. #10. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:54
- Oh, Mexico City -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:52 3
  - I can only guess that TomTom doesn't have Mexico data or didn't consider them as part of North America. - ty97 Oct 12, 07:53 2
    - *starts scribbling* -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:54 1
      - :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:54
- Chicago -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:52 1
  - 9 -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:54
- Canadian Cities... Vancouver? Montreal? Toronto? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:51 2
  - 2, 4, 5. - ty97 Oct 12, 07:53 1
    - If Mexico City's not on the list, TomTom's getting an angry letter. -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:54
- Denver -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:49 1
  - nope -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:51
- Seattle -- nm - Bacon Oct 12, 07:49 1

- Houston -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:48 1
  - Nope -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:48
- Washington DC? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:47 1
  - 6 -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:48
- LA, NY, Atlanta -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:47 6
  - 1, 8, and no. (So quit your bellyaching Atlantans! ::) -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:48 4
    - Wow. Must be something to do with the way they're measuring it - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:49 3
      - looks like it's the percentage increase in travel times between peak and non-peak hours. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 07:52 2
        
        I think it would be a better measure to look at how long the peaks last -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:55 1
        
        TomTom is factoring in only congestion. - ty97 Oct 12, 07:56
  - DC/Baltimore/Northern VA -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:47

marcel... - Mel Profit Oct 12, 07:40
80% of the US lives within 20 miles of a Starbucks -- (link) - znufrii Oct 12, 07:38 5
- that explains so much about the tea party -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 12, 12:55
- I would have expected a higher number -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:40 3
  - i've lived in towns that didnt have one, so it isnt suprising. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 12, 07:44
  - Yep. 80% of Americans live in a city. Not many cities would have a Starbucks density lower than one every 20 miles -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:42
  - right - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:42
how is it only 10:36 ? oh wait - I went to the gym before work - that's it - JenBro Oct 12, 07:36 1
- How is it only 7:39? -- nm - Bacon Oct 12, 07:37
hmmm, I think XCOM is going to be the winner as my next game purchase. - Jovian Oct 12, 07:35
Look, everyone! College basketball power rankings! -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 12, 07:32 8
- 25 isn't bad given what the team has to work with this year -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:59
- No. 14, not bad. -- nm - Stephen Oct 12, 07:58
- Number 9. I do get a kick out of the fact that we have Tim Hardaway Jr. and Glenn Robinson III on the team. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 07:57 1
  - Heh. That's great. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 12, 07:58
- Maybe if they listed the Top 75 we'd be on there somewhere -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:35
- *fist pump* -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:34 1
  - It's been awhile for the Hoosiers, not since the glory days of bobby knight -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:40
- Well, since we've all forgotten about hockey... -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:33
The word "attached" appears in your email, yet there is no file attached. Go ahead and send? - Gmail Oct 12, 07:28 13
- I was just thinking the other day how superior gmail is to every other mail interface I have ever seen. - amanda Oct 12, 07:30 12
  - My only improvements would be an ability to sort mail and a preview pane -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:32 11
    - I find the search to be far superior to sort. -- nm - amanda Oct 12, 07:34 2
      - Search is great, Just like a sort/customize column feature that outlook has -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:35 1
        
        The only two sorts I used in Thunderbird were read status and date -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 07:37
    - a sort would be great -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 07:33 6
      - Not too helpful for me, I think. is:unread or label:labelname search filters are better for me. - Beryllium Oct 12, 07:35 5
        
        or from:[emailaddress] use that all the time -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 07:38 2
        
        I have labels for most people that I talk to regularly. Helps when people have multiple email addys that they use as well. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 07:50
        
        Works with partials too -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 07:39
        
        I use these options all the time, but I don't think Google's done a good job of letting people know they exist. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 07:37 1
        
        This is true. Autocomplete is not enough. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 07:39
    - There is a preview pane option -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 07:33
I love Maroon 5 and I'm not ashamed to admit it. - kelly Oct 12, 07:25 11
- A certain whistle is my general ringtone. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:48 2
  - I didn't realize he was actually that fun a singer until recently. - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:52 1
    - I could see him and Timberlake tearing up a bar or two. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:54
- Everyone knows your taste is suspect. I mean, Will! -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 07:44
- Secret Stalker *marked for later reference* -- nm - budice Oct 12, 07:33 2
  - *misreads post sends kelly 5 morons for Christmas* -- nm - Bacon Oct 12, 07:35 1
    - Shit, I've been cloned? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 07:51
- They're fine, not great. Better than average pop. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:27
- they make really solid CDs - all tracks are very listenable ( not a fan of this latest one though) some hits but I can't run through it - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:27 2
  - Yeah, this CD is their weakest, although I love One More Night. - kelly Oct 12, 07:32 1
    - I really like that song too - they can play it over and over on the radio and I'm fine with it. Also: The man who never lied is very good -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:34
a plane full of marines returning home have a pillow fight. cause you know, why not -- (link) - tRuMaN Oct 12, 07:24 [youtube]
did we know that, as i type, Justin Bieber is being blackmailed? -- (link) - Andie Oct 12, 07:23 6
- Tangent: I like that in the same week, both Biebs and Lady Gaga vomited on stage. - Spawn Oct 12, 07:51
- its a hoax, promotion - the venue never filed a police report and neither did Bieber - guess album sales aren't what they wanted - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:28 4
  - interesting. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 07:31
  - If we can't trust Justin Bieber, then who CAN we trust? -- nm - Bacon Oct 12, 07:29 2
    - *snort* I think its a bit of a nasty move to jerk his loyal following around like this if its a hoax - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:36 1
      - Reading the Twitter stuff, it sure smells like a hoax. No celebrity reacts that way initially. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 12, 07:56
I want to get up and make a pot of coffee, but there's a sleeping cat on my lap. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 07:14 1
- I'm so jealous of cuddly cats. Mine won't do it and I have a feeling he's not going to allow another cat to do it either - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:38

- just have a couple of snickers. that's what I did. -- nm - amanda Oct 12, 07:24 1

- Maybe I'll check it out after I get Dawnguard on the PS3. -- nm - nubby Oct 12, 07:27

  - also spoils question - tRuMaN Oct 12, 07:20 1
    - have not come across that yet, but I'm also taking the bloodthirsty route and killin 'em all. -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:23
  - yeah, #1 really comes in handy. first thing I got -- nm - decline Oct 12, 07:07
  - Yeah, I've already got the blink upgraded -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 07:07

  - *puts away the Mop joke to be used another thread* -- nm - Bacon Oct 12, 07:07
The funniest part of the debate last night was when it ended and Wolf Blitzer called it a 'tie'. - Jovian Oct 12, 07:02 11
- I think both campaigns accomplished what was needed. - Mel Profit Oct 12, 07:38 2
  - I think you're right. At this point, it was more important for Biden to steady the ship to change the narrative from "Obama was hopeless in that last - Roger More Oct 12, 07:52
  - From one poll, the undecideds favored Joe, so that is good. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 07:49
- All depends on what criteria. Biden showed us he is who we thought he was, which is good. - Spawn Oct 12, 07:18 2
  - Ryan was on the ropes the entire time. Drink a little more water Paul. -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 07:20 1
    - I agree, but what I am saying is there are a lot of ways to look at it. - Spawn Oct 12, 07:33
- who did win? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:13 4
  - Biden crushed him - Jovian Oct 12, 07:16 3
    - On the radio this morning - Strongbad Oct 12, 07:37
    - gracias for the info -- nm - Epiphany Oct 12, 07:29
    - What's way more disrespectful than laughing is lying. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 07:18
Dammit. The Russian construction worker clock has been disabled (I'm guessing) -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 12, 06:59 1
- that was a cool thing. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 12, 07:39
Here's the BuzzTime locator -- (link) - mara Oct 12, 06:57 2
