    - isn't Bimbo a popular brand in Spain? -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 14:01 14
      - I believe they're a Mexican company. I hadn't heard of them until a year ago when I had a really good laugh after seeing on of their trucks. - Krusty Nov 26, 14:02 13
        
        Huh. Arnold. Ball Park, Boboli, Entenmanns, Stroehmans, Sara Lee. not bad. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 14:07 6

        ho ho's might be appropriate -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 14:20
        
        Yeah, they have some nice holdings. As long as Entenmann's stays tasty and affordable Bimbo is okay in my book. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 14:08 3
        
        agreed, they are far and away my favorite of the major bakery bransd. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 14:10

        Right, originated in Mexico but looks like they're world-wide now. I think they were being named as a possible purchaser for Hostess. -- nm - Meg Nov 26, 14:05 4

So, i spent the slow day at work doing a flickr slideshow of my wedding to get my mother off my back. -- (link) - Andie Nov 26, 13:36 [flickr] 8
- Love it! You look beautiful! - Krusty Nov 26, 14:17
- nice! -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:54
- I like it, but that third pic kinda cut you off. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:42
- very nice, although you know what popped into my head when I watched it? - groiny Nov 26, 13:41 4
  - Next you will buy her a dress the wrong size. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:55 1
    - the dressmaker took care of that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 13:58

Jax, from BB - groiny Nov 26, 13:29 12
- You're the new Rudolf. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 26, 13:43 1
  - except, it is not my nose that is red. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 13:43
- Maybe he just doesn't like you. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:32 1
  - impossible. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 13:35
- weird. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:31 7
  - Do you know if your NAT is open? That was causing me to have connection issues for a while. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:33 6
    - Might be. I have problems with my IP phone too. I may need to call them and get them to help me get it all configured. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:36
    - Hmm. Months ago I had that message pop up one time, but not since. - Spawn Nov 26, 13:35 4
      - Nah. Just an entry or two into the router and it was fixed. Xbox support has a page that'll walk you through it and it really wasn't difficult. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:38 3
        
        I would get the pop ups as well but I ignored it. Eventually the connection got worse where I couldn't ignore it and it was easily remedied. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:40
        
        *fear* - Spawn Nov 26, 13:39 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:40
REB2: Clothing. Jim is right but the ultimate win is a card that says, "We are going shopping." and help her pick stuff out. - Spawn Nov 26, 13:28 26
- I am un-man-like; I *love* shopping. I could spend all day at the mall or shopping center. - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:30 25
  - Clothes shopping is among my least favorite activities in the world. -- nm - David Nov 26, 13:39 14
    - [deleted] 5
      - this is how you'll end up with a wardrobe consisting entirely of velour jumpsuits. -- nm - mafic Nov 26, 13:58
      - whoohoo! my first client! -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 13:56
      - Done. Give me your credit cards, a list of your sizes and I'll do all your shopping. Good luck with those lectures. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:55 2
        
        "One for you, and some ones for me..." -- nm - TFox Nov 26, 13:58 1
        
        Ding! -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:59
    - "No, no. I'd love to paw through this pile of clothes that none of which will fit me." -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 13:44 7
      - I just had to do this for Thanksgiving. I told Kim I needed 34-36 length. She misheard it as 30. - David Nov 26, 13:45 6
        
        hee! that's my inseam. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 13:55
        
        pee wee david. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 26, 13:54
        
        Trying to find clothes in Rome led to hilarity. - Reagen Nov 26, 13:54 3
        
        The moment in Lost in Translation where Bill Murray towers above everyone else on the elevator resonates with me. -- nm - David Nov 26, 14:03
        
        We grow taller in the North. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:57 1
        
        I'm sure that North Korean leaders would have us believe that applies to them also. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:58
  - I have a scorched earth policy when it comes to shopping. -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 13:36
  - I got told I had to surrender my man card simply because I pointed out a piece of art we just acquired coordinates - TWuG Nov 26, 13:36
  - I hear you, brutha. Amy dislikes it, but not me. - Spawn Nov 26, 13:31 7
    - I'm not a fan. I hate spending money. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 13:53
    - I hate shopping too. - Kim Pine Nov 26, 13:35
    - Same here. I usually like shopping. I'm a sneaker whore and stop in every store to gawk at the new kicks. - Krusty Nov 26, 13:34 4
      - I also love shopping the Clearance racks. - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:55 2
        
        Yeah, I rarely look elsewhere. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 14:06
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:58
      - Yes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:38
ST Powerball pool info -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:27 [Backboard] 32
- I'm in. -- nm - pmb Nov 26, 14:08
- Meg - how many people are in thus far? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:29 30
  - Look like about 37...178 tickets. -- nm - Meg Nov 26, 13:33 14
    - So with 140 mil as the actual take home, divided by 37 participants, a $2 share = $3.8 mil - TWuG Nov 26, 13:42 10
      - you have to divide by number of tickets (then multiply by number held for each person's share). Currently each share would be under a million. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:44 8
        
        The actual payout is more complicated, as you say. -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:46 1
        
        The average buy-in was 4.8 tickets per person, so the average person will take home $3.8 million -- nm - TWuG Nov 26, 13:54
        
        specifically, $786,517 per share. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:45
        
        I figured it as if everyone put in the $10 -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:45 4
        
        then it would be 370 tickets. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:46 3
        
        Powerball is a $2 ticket -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:48 1
        
        ah, yes. sorry. so 3.8 would be close. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:57
        
        but only 1 will win the grand prize -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:47
      - cool :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:43
    - if we are the solo winner, that is $3.8M each -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:41 2
      - what would you get from an annuity these days? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:45 1
        
        no idea -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:45
  - 31.250 -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:29 14
    - Mel sent money too? Nice. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:32 13
      - I'm going to look good as Queen Elizabeth on Thursday. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:33 12
        
        You're lucky. - JaxSean Nov 26, 13:37 6
        
        I've navigated the TT/ST storm for so long I am well practiced at steering into the storm. - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:47 5
        
        i would get an elkskin suede whipstitch steampunk/wildwildwest 3 piece suit -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:59 4
        
        I'd totally get a Steampunk Dirigible. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 14:04 3
        
        "Death from above! Muwhahahaha!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 14:06 2
        
        or really just Death from...slightly above you and falling fast. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 14:13
        
        this sub-thread made me think of the Sky Master episode of the old Spider-Man cartoon. -- (link) - zork Nov 26, 14:10
        
        That's not giving you much time to get more manly. Good luck. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 26, 13:34 4
        
        with $278m I'm not worried about gender identification. I'm just hoping I don't go Full Blown Eccentric by mid-January. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:35 3
        
        If you last that long, I'm calling the psych ward myself. - Will Hunting Nov 26, 13:39
        
        $140M is the true after all tax & advance payout [26 years] fees amount -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:38 1
        
        Ok, so it looks like I'll just limit the insanity to M, W, F, SA, SUN. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 26, 13:49
Redmond - when we first emigrated to Australia we took a train out to my dad's job. The destination station was Damboring... -- nm - Meg Nov 26, 13:25
Mop, copyright laws have changed over the years. - zork Nov 26, 13:24 10
- Fitzgerald's works entered the public domain last year. -- (link) - TWuG Nov 26, 13:33
- and if assigned to a corp (disney) then they never expire -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 26, 13:27 7
  - unless you are in the Schuster or Siegel family, then you can go back every decade no matter what the courts previously ruled :((((( -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:30
  - Corps are moot. Copyright law keeps getting extended because Disney doesn't want to lose control of Mickey Mouse. -- nm - Mop (189 lbs) Nov 26, 13:30 3
    - Which is absurd. Mickey is trademarked and they wouldn't lose control of him. They would lose control of early films and shorts, not the characters - TWuG Nov 26, 13:38 2
      - *nods* copyrights are not renewable (see my post below for the exception) but trademarks are. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:41 1
        
        NBC had to do this to It's A Wonderful Life's soundtrack to get it out of public domain about a decade ago -- nm - peglegpete Nov 26, 13:43
  - uh no. Last time I checked (some years ago), it was a straight 75 years. -- nm - zork Nov 26, 13:28 1
    - Current terms are Life+70 (if published since 1978) or ... - zork Nov 26, 13:39
- It pleases me that it was mop that raised the question. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:26
Powerball money sent. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 26, 13:22 1
- ditto -- nm - Beaker Nov 26, 13:26
For the missus... -- (link) - David Nov 26, 13:19 [youtube] 10
- Never before has justifiable homicide been so awesome. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:53
- That's cool. but if I was a neighbor I'm not sure what would be more annoying, this or those "Jingle Bell" singing, motion sensored, teddy bears. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 26, 13:27
- Most excellent. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 13:25
- I worry that people are going to try this with dubstep and cause seizures in people that aren't even epileptic. -- nm - Reagen Nov 26, 13:24
- *falls over the coffee table and down the stairs* -- nm - Julia Louis Dryffus Nov 26, 13:23 2
  - Ooh, nice. -- nm - David Nov 26, 13:25 1
    - I need to get that movie. We have discovered 2 or 3 movies that somehow, we did not have on disc. - Will Hunting Nov 26, 13:27
- Very nice - amoxy Nov 26, 13:23
- Wow. Question: Do we think those green lights are interior? -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:22 1
  - ... never mind. I should have kept watching. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:23
Krusty owes Kim dinner. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:19 3
- I'm hungry for Chinese food. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 13:25 2
  - Why don't you do that and Buddy's and we'll go to the store late? -- nm - David Nov 26, 13:33 1
    - That sounds just great. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 26, 13:34
Krusty owes Kin dinner. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:19 4
- Yes I do. Thank you so much, Kim. :-) - Krusty Nov 26, 13:27 2
  - Let me know if you find a number size and I'll help translate it. - Kim Pine Nov 26, 13:29 1
    - Sweet. I appreciate the help. This was supposed to be the easy gifts to buy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 26, 13:31
- Wow. That had not posted after a while, so I fixed it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 13:19
