  - don't be dissing bacon there bub. -- nm - decline Feb 5, 10:40
  - I prefer Bleu Cheese dressing... -- nm - znufrii Feb 5, 10:39
- The salad itself is generally quite good. It's the gobs of dressing, nuts, and croutons that make it almost as bad as a burger. -- nm - Subversive Feb 5, 10:39 1
  - [deleted]
- I vote for the myth that sugar-laden juice is healthy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 5, 10:38 1

- XBOX 360 and a Wii. It goes in spurts, if I get into a game I will play every night. - Subversive Feb 5, 10:37
- PS2, Gamecube, DS, Wii, Dreamcast, NES. I play the heck out of one or two games for several months. Mainly RPGs. -- nm - lileve Feb 5, 10:37
- 360 and Wii. Excluding the Wii (since it's used only for Wii Fit) I'd say I play games on the 360 25 days out of the month. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:37
- Got a Wii for Christmas...don't play too much right now because of being busy all weekends with GS cookie sales -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 5, 10:37

- me: Wii, 4 or 5 days per month. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 10:36
- X360 (technically my roommate's), probably about 10 days each month, on average. -- nm - znufrii Feb 5, 10:36 1
  - Do you have your own Gamertag? If so, add it to the wiki. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 10:40
- I own a Gamecube and a DS. GameCube is not used. DS, probably 15 days a month. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:35

My cell phone has apparently gotten on the "Do Call" list. Can I remedy this, please? -- nm - ty97 Feb 5, 10:33 2
- [deleted] 1
  - ahh, thanks! For some reason, I thought mobile phones had a convaluted special system - ty97 Feb 5, 10:40
Holy crap. Look at this thing (likely to make Truman wet himself) -- (link) - Mop Feb 5, 10:32 2
- There's no such thing as a WinMo iPhone killer -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:32 1
  - true -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 10:35
LIR re the Wii list. I know that thing prints money for Nintendo, but it's such a joke of a gaming system with the 360 and PS3 out there. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:28 7
- The big problem with lists like these is Wii and DS games don't get announced 10 months in advance. - Inigo Feb 5, 10:38
- I have not turned mine on in almost 9 months. -- nm - decline Feb 5, 10:33
- The Wii is more tactile and party-friendly -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 10:31
- I think those games aren't what most Wii owners are anticipating. It may be what "gamers" would anticipate - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:30
- It's different. Like comparing a 360 or PS3 to an ATV or a skateboard. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 10:29 2
  - Not really, since I used "gaming system" as my comparison tool. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:34 1
    - Ok, it's like comparing a barge, a speed boat, and a jet ski. They're watercraft meant to do different things. -- nm - Ender Feb 5, 10:38
Canadians (Walt?) ... Does anyone know if i'm writing a letter to an MP what the proper form of address is? -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 10:28 13

  - PC = Progressive Conservative, and here's what i found on a site: (i want MP, not the PM.) :) - Andie Feb 5, 10:36 3
    - Sorry. My bad all over the place there. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 10:40

    - (and that's specific for the PM) -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 10:36 1
      - oh, i figured he was looking at some old listing -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 10:36
- Dear Asshole: - Subversive Feb 5, 10:30
- Dear Mr/Mrs [name] -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 10:29
- sfek - as in, do i just say 'Dear Mr. Smith," or do i say 'To the Honourable Mr. Smith"? - Andie Feb 5, 10:29 2
  - Honourable is for Ministers, I think -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 10:31 1
    - and a few other random people, but yes. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 10:34

  - I'm going to give you Western Sahara. Morocco is the answer (and WS is included) -- nm - loosilu Feb 5, 10:30 2
    - (part of it is that I don't actually know what you do) -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 10:33 1
      - spoiler. - loosilu Feb 5, 10:34

Okay, so, I need ST to talk some sense into me here. - kelly Feb 5, 10:26 35
- Maybe they saw your untied shoes -- nm - redmond Feb 5, 10:31
- Checking Criminal Background and Credit History, Making Calls to References... - Jammed Uzi Feb 5, 10:31
- Normal and they will call - just may take some time. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 5, 10:30
- /me hands kelly a beer. Chill out and good luck. I hope you get it. -- nm - lileve Feb 5, 10:29
- if he was told you were the choice, why sweat it? -- nm - Crusty Gorillahump Feb 5, 10:28
- it took five weeks between my interview and getting an official offer. -- nm - znufrii Feb 5, 10:28
- utterly and completely normal. it's their job to freak you out I think. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 5, 10:28
- I don't think it's inappropriate to call and follow up. - Subversive Feb 5, 10:27 12
  - It's only been 3 days since the interview, though. - kelly Feb 5, 10:30 11
    - you followed up with a Thank You within the next business day, right? - Mel Profit Feb 5, 10:34 5
      - *sigh* - kelly Feb 5, 10:35 4
        
        I was told they were calling you that day with the result? How was I supposed to know they'd miss that day by 2 more full days? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 10:38 1
        
        I thought you knew everything!!! - kelly Feb 5, 10:39
        
        Honestly, if you feel the need to do something, send a thank you, but otherwise sit tight. - TFox Feb 5, 10:37 1
        
        Believe it or not, I'm *not* an idiot... - kelly Feb 5, 10:40
    - IMO, that's too soon. - Strongbad Feb 5, 10:33
    - It's tricky, but I think 3 days is about right. Maybe this should be a poll. - Subversive Feb 5, 10:32 2
      - Tomorrow after lunch, get something in before the weekend -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:34 1
        
        Maybe tomorrow, just before lunch? A lot of people are gone Friday afternoons. -- nm - Subversive Feb 5, 10:35
    - kelly, I ask this sincerely: do you have horse tranquilizers in the house for recreational use, or know where to get some? -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:32
- There could be any number of reasons holding things up behind the scenes, and it's totally maddening. - ty97 Feb 5, 10:27 1
  - No, I haven't. - kelly Feb 5, 10:29
- They might be waiting for official approval or something. I waited 3 months for my current job after being told I was their choice. - loosilu Feb 5, 10:27
- [deleted] 4
  - they just assume you are criminals -- nm - ty97 Feb 5, 10:28 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - If they did, they'd work different anyway. Gotta make sure you're already using coke before you start. - TFox Feb 5, 10:31
      - helps to keep business going in the firm. - ty97 Feb 5, 10:30
- Did they give you any sense of timeframe post-interview? -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:27
- Were your shoelaces tied in the interview? - TFox Feb 5, 10:27 4
  - (This is one to blame on having absurd access to inside info and rumors. If Will wasn't leaking you the scoop, you wouldn't even consider it yet.) -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:29 3
    - totally. she should just hit will. - Mel Profit Feb 5, 10:31 2
      - That's probably the delay: waiting to check her word usage in the thank you note as the tiebreaker. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:32 1
        
        *reads* "Tx You" Oh hell no...*tosses card* -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 5, 10:33
- Not abnormal. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 10:26
Hee. For Callisto, from SheFox: - TFox Feb 5, 10:23 7

    - Which one? -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:25 4
      - Pearl -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:26 3
        
        Ah. Tell her that Platinum comes out mid-March :) -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:26 2
        
        She can know about that after I find money for this tax bill. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:28 1
        
        *sends Amazon link to her Facebook page* -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:29

- Nah, but I'm very happy to see signs that poker might become more legalized under Obama. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 10:24 2
  - Would be nice if they do that. The way they pushed it through before was pretty much criminal. - Subversive Feb 5, 10:26 1
    - C'mon, Bill Frist doing something unethical? He'd never stoop to that level. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 10:27

Republicans Mount Mini-Criticisms of Stimulus in the Media -- (link) - psilotum Feb 5, 10:20 4
- [deleted] 2
  - I tend to agree though. Some of those spending items seem ill-fitted for a stimulus package. Same old crap. -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:28
  - I agree, it's very infuriating. Someone needs to step up. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 10:27
- [deleted]
I love finding stuff online for Pippy. More! -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 10:20 1
