      - not = on -- nm - Stacy Feb 6, 16:06
hey HK, I would honestly just have no contact with the dude. Don't let him give you "answers". There is nothing he can say that won't hurt. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 15:52 3
- and "giving answers" is all about him trying to make himself not feel like a jackass. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 15:53 2
  - exactly. Which means blaming everything on her. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 15:55

    - good actors put effort into everything. -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 15:55 9

        yeah, the guy is intense. -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 15:58
        
        He's literally starved himself down to bones twice in his career. - Reagen Feb 6, 15:58 4
        
        Look at the foolish voice he was willing to use in TDK despite knowing it would ruin the movie. nm - Dignan Feb 6, 16:00 1
        
        You're funny. -- nm - David Feb 6, 16:19

OK. So I'm not the only one who doesn't know what "postering" is, right? -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 15:47 14
- Similar to "tabling" or "flyering". :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 6, 15:52
- i sort of figured it meant 'putting up posters for his dance' -- nm - Andie Feb 6, 15:50 5
  - That's infinitely less obscene than what I was thinking. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 15:52
  - yes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 6, 15:52
  - yep -- nm - the liioulu with eye shadow Feb 6, 15:51
  - Yup -- nm - con_carne Feb 6, 15:51
  - Yeah. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 6, 15:51
- Oh! OMG! I'm afraid to Google "postering" now. I'm afraid the definition will be in Urban Dictionary. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 15:50

- sadly it has little to no chance of being renewed -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 15:47
- The crime of the week is the weak spot on Life. -- nm - the liioulu with eye shadow Feb 6, 15:44
i'm not sure what the tentative stimulus bill has to do with the picture of lightning and a tornado on Drudge's front page - pigby Feb 6, 15:40 3
- Think of it as a giant storm that has a 70% chance of *not* flattening your house. -- nm - J.Biden Feb 6, 15:43 2
