Did anyone here actually *like* Indy 4? Not 'oh, I've seen worse', but actually thought it was well-done? - kelly Oct 22, 17:04 9
- [deleted]
- It was *okay*. Really uneven. Part enjoyable, part WTF? -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 17:19

- there's a different sense of panic, before people waited and timed their return, after all, the stock market was basically the only game in town so it - zeitgeist Oct 22, 17:06 3
  - that's silly. the market isn't going to disappear....nm - x Oct 22, 17:07 2
    - not the market itself, but our dollar is backed only by faith and trust in the fed reserve, stocks become worthless if the dollar becomes worthless in - zeitgeist Oct 22, 17:11 1

*looks downboard* There's a reason I keep a bottle opener on my keychain -- nm - znufrii Oct 22, 16:50 8
- Word -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 16:57
- Place the edge of the cap on the edge of the counter and hit down on the bottle, if it chips...serves em right for no opener -- nm - Scorpion Oct 22, 16:55 3

- the first year of IO RPBC I had like 40 bags at once. that was *too many* even to freeze. -- nm - miss amanda jones Oct 22, 17:04
- It's blasphemous to even suggest the possiblilty. -- nm - Reagen Oct 22, 16:49 1
  - Word. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:58
- heck no. stuff your grill away -- nm - CQ Oct 22, 16:49 1

  - thanks. It's a recurring problem that we need to address with the doctor to see if something other than clumsiness is causing it. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 22, 16:34
- I hope she feels better soon. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 16:28 1

      - yes, multiply the 50 by every poster and that's a ton. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 22, 16:38 1
        
        I'm sure there will be some action to grab the attention of those folks, which will earn you the 50K max in one shot -- nm - Beryllium Oct 22, 16:50
- Good for him! -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:25
Remlik: yes, great line. :) -- (link) - loosilu Oct 22, 16:24 [Backboard]

        I might have to stop for drinks on my way home. -- nm - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 16:52
        
        Heh. One of my first thoughts, as the divorce became a reality, was "Hmm, I can drink again." -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:34 1
        
        when I was in college I dated this super controlling guy who forbade me to smoke. so whenever I knew I wouldn't see him - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 16:38
      - I would try a knife. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:30

        no, cheap metal one. but if you're really stuck, is there no supermarket or convenience store? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:31 6
        
        Depends on far I want to drive. Drugstores nearby (CVS, Walgreens) and a supermarket on the way home from work tomorrow. (Tomorrow's post-work beers - mara Oct 22, 16:33 5
        
        no swiss army knife? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:36
        
        This should help... -- (link) - Krusty Oct 22, 16:36 2
        
        Thanks. I was at eHow, but forgot about WikiHow. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:37 1
        
        Hopefully one of those will work. - Krusty Oct 22, 16:38
        
        you know what you should do? ask hot single neighbor dude if you can borrow one. mmhmm. you know it. -- nm - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 16:35
  - I'm not going to say it was easy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:24
TT poll: Have you ever opened a beer bottle (that didn't have twist-off cap) without a bottle opener? How? -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:19 41

    - [deleted]
- Two ways... - XChef Oct 22, 16:31

    - it's honestly not that hard to do....nm - x Oct 22, 17:05
    - mike tried to teach me saturday night. it has to do with using your hand (gripping the bottle neck tightly) as a fulcrum for the lighter. - dracula loves mandy lane Oct 22, 16:33
  - Outside of the table top, which I'm not going to try at my ex's house, which was easiest? -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:26 4
    - lighter. but anything with an edge really. It's all about the right angle and pressure -- nm - CQ Oct 22, 16:28 3
      - that's what she said. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 16:30
      - agree, lighter is easiest -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 22, 16:29

- lighter, teeth, cabinet door, screwdriver, hammer, desk, wrench -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 22, 16:21 2
  - I tried a couple of wrenches. I think I'm just not "handy." -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:28
  - Damnit, MacGruber!! -- nm - *KABOOM* Oct 22, 16:22
- Grip and twist anyway. It'll leave a mark on your hand. But, you will have won. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 16:21 1
  - I've done some twisting, and don't care to do more. -- nm - mara Oct 22, 16:24
