So everybody, next time life is getting you down, or it could just be one of those days............just think; it could be worse... - Loyola Feb 5, 13:24 3

I so suck, this is late in posting but, I was stalked, in such glorious fashion, and not nearly as late as this implies. - TFox Feb 5, 13:23 14
- I think I know who the stalker is, and it's likely s/he handcrafted the earrings -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:26 11
  - I haven't seen them, I actually didn't even see the SheFox box, she hid that chocolate so fast. - TFox Feb 5, 13:27 10
    - No easy answers - you will have to stalk your stalker yourself -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:28 9
      - (i've suspected liioulu, but she isn't in the wiki for easy reverse stalk hunting!) -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 13:33 4
        
        liioulu's secretstalker wrap-up is posted on the wiki. I suggest looking to see who from Chicago is super-generous with gifts and makes jewellery -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:38 1
        
        yeah, it was. honestly, she deserved better. i'm such a choade. - TFox Feb 5, 13:42
        
        Most of the chicagoans are boys, unlikely to make earrings - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:36 1
        
        well liioulu, if it's you, you are a badass. thank you a million times. - TFox Feb 5, 13:38
      - OK, one hint - Roger More Feb 5, 13:28 3
        
        not me. I stalked kelly -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:30
        
        Can't imagine what kind of earrings he would make. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 13:29 1
        
        I'm not sure either, but I'm sure one earring would fit into the other one -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:31
- wow, you got spoiled! :) -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 13:24 1
  - hooked. the eff. up. no doubt. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 13:25
That kid getting the near-mil pts on GH3...that's ridiculous for so many different reasons - Will Hunting Feb 5, 13:22 7
- If he's got that kind of dexterity, you'd think he'd want to learn to play a *real* guitar or something. -- nm - Trish Feb 5, 13:32 1
  - The article states he plays guitar, drums and oboe (?!?!) in real life -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 5, 13:34
- Hey, maybe we could teach the dog to do this. Ya know, give him something to do when we're not home. - kelly Feb 5, 13:27 2
  - we got a laser toy for our cats; I need to figure out how to remotely turn it on -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:29 1
    - Our dog freaks the eff out if he's away from us for more than a few seconds - but I don't want to be leaving him in a crate for 12 hrs when we are at - kelly Feb 5, 13:32
- Thing is, you know he's not "playing" it anymore. Muscle memory, memorization, etc. He's on autopilot -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:26 1
  - I know...that just screams fun to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 13:27
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY! -- nm - kare Feb 5, 13:21
I'll be the 1st (?) to say that Lie to Me is a one trick pony - Pippy Feb 5, 13:21 2
- I've gotten that sense, too. They're introducing personal stuff for that rason, I think -- the daughter, for example. -- nm - mara Feb 5, 13:29
- I'm enjoying it so far. A more solid start than, say, Fringe. But then again, I think Fringe has grown into a decent show. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:21
also, did we know that there are male and female kiwi plants and you need at least one male to every five females if you want fruiting plants? -- (link) - Andie Feb 5, 13:19 7
- lucky fruits -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 5, 13:23

- A little late for Hump Day, but better late than never -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 13:21
- isn't there something similar about avacados? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:20 2
  - possibly - i know squash has male and female flowers on the same vine. -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 13:21 1
    - Znufrii squash? :) -- nm - The Coraline Cat Coalition Feb 5, 13:29

"This year, all employees will be migrated from Lotus Notes to Outlook 2007." - JaxSean Feb 5, 13:09 4
- My company is inexplicably moving in the opposite direction. It is nonsensical. -- nm - mrfuzzy Feb 5, 13:31
- Using Outlook is like riding a bike or having sex - Mr. Havens Feb 5, 13:16
- I will always bear ill will toward Lotus Notes, though I've never used it. - Dr.Vermin Feb 5, 13:12
- I'd hate being on Lotus notes -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:10
No googling trivia: What country produces the most kiwifruit annually? -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:08 31
- South Africa -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 13:11
- San Marino -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 13:11 1
  - The North Pole - Loyola Feb 5, 13:12
- another answer: italy -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:11 4
  - winner. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:11 3
    - I researched this about six months ago on Wikipedia. I was shocked :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:12
    - [deleted] 1
      - .48M metric tonnes a year, almost twice the production of New Zealand. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:13
- canada -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:11 7
  - #9 -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:11 5
    - what? really? -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 13:12 4
      - I would guess the Okanagan. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:13 3
        
        sure, but i thought kiwis were *really* tropical fruit. -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 13:13 2
        
        They're originally from China, but (for example) New Zealand isn't tropical -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:14 1
        
        from the article, it sounds like there's probably a huge amount that grows in China, but not much commercial growing of it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:16
  - i'd be shocked if we grew *one* kiwi annually. :) -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 13:11
- Australia, no idea though -- nm - MDH Feb 5, 13:10
- China -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 13:10

LIR: Beryl. If I had issues with browser crap and rootkits, etc, I'd be using anything but IE, probably Chrome as my primary browser. Honestly, with - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:07 7
- I am using Firefox. I don't use IE. And I'm not sure that the web browser is the penetration vector. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:12 6
  - You run something like ZoneAlarm for outbound firewalling? -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:12 5
    - oh, right: Windows Firewall for outbound. It's much less loud than ZoneAlarm, but in this situation that's a bad thing -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:21 1
      - yeah, I appreciate ZA telling me whenever some new program wants permissions to go external -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:25
    - Also, the one that the scanners found last night was the same as the one from 2 weeks ago, so it's possible it's just a recurrence of the same one -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:14
    - No, but I guess I should be. Just counting on the router as the incoming firewall. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 13:13 1
      - Comodo is your friend -- nm - decline Feb 5, 13:21
Last! -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 5, 13:07
For me, as long as you weren't actively avoiding paying taxes (which admittedly could be tough to determine from the outside) I don't really care. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 13:06 1
- I agree in principle, but I have a very hard time imagining that the these tax 'issues' came as a surprise to the nominees themselves. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 5, 13:15

- Only Thursday! Only Thursday! -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 13:06 9

    - I rue the day when Hulu starts posting BSG episodes a week after they air instead of 24 hours -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 13:09
    - I'll paypal you 5 bucks if you put on a red curly wig, sing it and video it, then put it up on YouTube. -- nm - Trish Feb 5, 13:09
Burn Notice and Leverage make me happy. Hopefully, they're the start of a trend... -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 13:04 2
- ahem - Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson Feb 5, 13:08 1
  - I like The Closer a lot. But I like the con jobs on the two shows I mentioned. -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 13:09
