overshareing realization I just had. the smell of blow-drying hair kind of turns me on a little. how weird is that? - mafic Oct 23, 08:27 12
- smell of blowdrying hair reminds me of my mom doing her hair in the mornings.. - colin Oct 23, 08:32 1
  - yeah. I'm glad I don't remember my mom blow-drying her hair now. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:33
- I enjoy it when Amy does it. Just this morning I was enjoying it. - Spawn Oct 23, 08:30 4
  - I was going to make a wildly inappropriate post, but I'll restrain myself. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:31 3
    - Just remember... Amy's one TT regret... -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:33 2
      - Oh, I was just goofing on mafic's one regret. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:38
      - it was along the lines of shorty robe and bending over to get that hair at the back of her neck, only... cruder. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:34
- And this is how Mafic's career as a hairstylist began. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 23, 08:29 1
  - Don't Mess with the Mafic. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 08:31
- The IM takes this post from creepiness level Sulu to creepiness level Alpha. - ty97 Oct 23, 08:28 2
  - I think almost any hair attached to a pretty girl would do, but it's not like a fetish or anything. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:29 1
    - attached *to the head* of..^^ -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:30
LYC: I have rented a copy of Halloween. I've never seen this movie before - con_carne Oct 23, 08:22 7

Somebody explain this commercial to me: Buff shirtless guy ironing little girl dress, makes reservation for 6 month anniversary,... - ceregon Oct 23, 08:14 [youtube] 12
- I asked this question last year when the ad first started coming out. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:21
- *buys a traverse* -- nm - JackDawson si Oct 23, 08:19
- Women who want a buff guy to iron and clean and never wear a shirt. - Amy Oct 23, 08:19 7

    - I don't like 'crossovers'. They are just low-to-the-ground minivans. -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 08:24 5
      - It's a minivan in the closet. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:26
      - I really don't like the one that advertises the fact that it get 24 mpg as if that's some sort of accomplishment. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 08:25 3
        
        The Cadillac SUV hybrid is proudly touting 20 mpg. -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 08:26 1
        
        seriously. these should be minimum standards, not features! -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 08:27
        
        [deleted]
- Looks like the add is targeted at truck-buying women: Basically saying it's like a hot guy who is thoughtful and does chores. -- nm - TWuG Oct 23, 08:19
- Crossover, it's useful, it's beautiful, it's everything you wished for. - CrankYanker Oct 23, 08:17
for the second week in a row, one of my three dvds from netlifx was damaged when I got it - tRuMaN Oct 23, 08:11 6
- I've never had one be bad. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:12 5
  - i've had two that have been so scratched that none of the players would read them - tRuMaN Oct 23, 08:21 1
    - I have an old player that I like a lot, but if I know a disc has even a few scratches on it, I won't even bother using it - con_carne Oct 23, 08:34
  - Some players are better at playing damaged DVDs than others - con_carne Oct 23, 08:19 1
    - I have had some that are scratched and freeze up, but then after restarting it seems to work ok. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:20
  - We had one arrive good and then sent back bad -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 08:17

- Do we know whether, if you accept a friend request, you have to friend that person in turn? Does one person accepting make it mutual? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 23, 08:33
- KaiGee -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:22 1
  - ok, thanks - kaigee is always helpful. Plays well w/others. : ) -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:25
- how about BenWillo or gordon06? -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 08:15 3
  - Gordon06 turned up recently on the Movies board. He's helpful -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:23
  - BenWillo is Roger More and he's teh awesome. I've seen gordon06 around but I don't really recognize him/her. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:17 1
    - merci! -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 08:24
- not familiar to me. guess they just want schmooze $ -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 08:06
- any way you can super poke them? -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 08:04 10
  - I can get that at home. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:10 9
    - I'd always heard that was more of a MediocrePoke. -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:17 8
      - You heard wrong. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:18 7
        
        *prepares for brilliance* -- nm - Diva si Oct 23, 08:29 1
        
        you know it. *shakes it* -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:31
        
        Are you calling Will a liar? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:20 4
        
        In all deference to kelly, who I am sure is quite skilled in the arts of love, Will's never recovered from his Mel Lovin'. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 08:24
        
        Nope - I'm calling you a boitch. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:23 1
        
        heh. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:25
        
        *snort* -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:20
- see how many friends he has.. might just be running up friends to get monies - colin Oct 23, 08:04
LIR - TFox - someone has helpfully blogged what DMac has said they will be doing with the site - Roger More Oct 23, 08:01 33
- that's great, but $50,000 from comments still means every idiot out there posting 50 pieces of random crap every day. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:11 14
  - Well, it depends. They are going to block spammers and obvious attempts at posting for money, I assume. - TFox Oct 23, 08:13 12
    - it makes the original game pointless - decline Oct 23, 08:17 11
      - I make about $12 million a year from playing Cold Cash and the weekly survey -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:22 3
        
        i'm okay with those - the survey was market research (why they have the game) and the cold cash was advertising revenue. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:23 2
        
        It is awesome that you've changed your nick - if I run into you at the subway I am totally calling out "Danger Girl!" -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:25 1
        
        i like it, and it's fun, but it feels almost... fraudulent. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:32
      - 'cause $18 million really isn't all that much. I'm surprised they gave more ways to get free money when they were already complaining about there - mafic Oct 23, 08:20 3
        
        It's more than I made in the first few years. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:22 1
        
        I think I was up to H$20 million by the end of my first summer, but those were the heady days of buying star wars at H$20. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:24
        
        I mean, that was my thought too, but if they tweaked the guts or decided they could handle it, that is their call. - TFox Oct 23, 08:21
      - Well, for 1, $18M is a good week in the summer once you get rolling. And, c'mon, are people really going to write 50 thoughtful posts a day every day? - TFox Oct 23, 08:19 2
        
        so, what we posted before - just chatting.... it wasn't spamming, but it wasn't 'thoughtful posting' either. - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:22 1
        
        Well, for one, we don't know this is permanent. It could be like a Happy Hour special to get the forums rolling, and then taken away. - TFox Oct 23, 08:25
  - It's been suggested that you get the 50k on your first post only. -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 23, 08:12
- "think we should be compensated for the days we could not trade" - ty97 Oct 23, 08:04 5
  - These are always my favorite posts. "It.... it's not fair. But I'll smile if you give everyone H$1M for waiting." -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:05 4
    - I have 900,000 in cash. I really don't want any more h$. I just want to play my little openers and buy some IPOs. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:08 3
      - Openers suck until Thanksgiving anyway; I'm in no rush. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:10 2
        
        The new Bond movie sucks? -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 23, 08:12 1
        
        OK, so they have 3 weeks. (I'm as excited for that as anything that came out this year.) -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:14
- /me flags post as objectionable -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:03
- Well, honestly, 1 and 2 are the most glaring problems on the site. - TFox Oct 23, 08:03 9
  - I'm pretty sure I'm done even if they fix stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:04 8
    - I think I'm going to not log in for a while, give them a chance to make it look like they intended, and then try again. - TFox Oct 23, 08:06 7
      - Trades are going through in real time today. I plan on just doing basic maintenance of my portfolios for a bit while they try to fix stuff and then - pmb Oct 23, 08:13 1
        
        Well god yes, I'm not leaving y'all to go over there. Ever. But I hold out hope for the game. -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:16
      - My quitting is more a form of protest. - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:07 4
        
        Well, like it says above, if they fix it to be easy (which it looks like they are doing) I don't see the point of the protest. -- nm - TFox Oct 23, 08:09 3
        
        They need to improve the searches--or make the ticker symbols propogate the trading box. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:14 1
        
        They need to do a lot of stuff, I concur. But if they've already said they are fixing my biggest gripes... - TFox Oct 23, 08:15
        
        True enough. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:11
- yeah, i've been trying to blog any updates just in case people are watching... - colin Oct 23, 08:02
I'm sure this is SITWAP b/c I was gone yesterday, but I loved the Barack fantasy football column Rick Reilly did. -- (link) - TFox Oct 23, 08:01
Hey. Be the first to see the Roman Polanski movie, CQ. Rated R for nudity -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 07:56 3
- er, Roman Coppola -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 08:01
- In addition to the Frogurt being cursed, the nudity is of a 13 year old girl. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 08:00
- *tries to short, can't find any buttons..* -- nm - colin Oct 23, 07:57
538 has some new polls in this morning covering mid-West states: Obama has huge leads -- (link) - TWuG Oct 23, 07:56 4
- Doesn't inevitability start to set in around this point? People start going with the flow or decide not to vote? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 08:31
- He's here right now! I could walk over and see him--if I had any vacation time. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 07:57 2
  - damnit! I'd love to go over and see him -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:04
  - Did I show you this? -- (link) - TWuG Oct 23, 08:03
LIR: CQ, I saw this at the video store last night -- (link) - con_carne Oct 23, 07:55 1
- yeah, that looks like a winner, heh -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 07:57
Batman and Superman team up. -- (link) - TWuG Oct 23, 07:55 1
- Pixie wrote that didn't he!?! -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:15
I wonder if some crazy internet dude is keeping track of Palin's wardrobe to make sure it all gets given to charity after the campaign. - mafic Oct 23, 07:55 3
- Screw charity. eBay - con_carne Oct 23, 07:56 2
  - truth is, it probably will be ebay. ebay does big charity auctions all the time with all the items grouped. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 08:33
  - Same thing. They'll sell it to the rich and stupid and donate the money to charity. nm - Jim Oct 23, 08:00
My little sister is about to graduate from college... - Mel Profit Oct 23, 07:54 19
- I'm proud of her too and she should do great, but remember - Crazy Cheryl has an MBA. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:15
- is she hot? -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 07:56 6
  - She's a lovely, lovely girl. If either of you were available you'd make a very cute couple. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 08:11
  - like her brother, she likes to put icing on her nipples -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 07:59 3
    - *snicker* - Will Hunting Oct 23, 08:04
    - there isn't enough mental brillo for that...jerk. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 08:00 1
      - tell us about it -- nm - TT Oct 23, 08:01
  - I don't think she has a temp but I'll ask her next time I see her. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 07:58
- ... STAY LITTLE, LOGAN!!! - Spawn Oct 23, 07:56 6
  - I think I'm OK with him growing up. Maybe. As long as he always hugs me a lot and dances the same as he does now. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 07:58 4
    - His dancing style is sure to change, sadly. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 07:59 3
      - He just learned to jump with both feet--so his dance is sort of bop bop headbang twirl jump jump jump. With random clapping. -- nm - Amy Oct 23, 08:03 2
        
        I don't know, that sounds kind of like mine. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 08:08
        
        Hee! -- nm - mara Oct 23, 08:07
  - seriously. it's not the same I am sure but I remember her from day one... - Mel Profit Oct 23, 07:57
- oh my god, i remember when your little sister was... little. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 07:54 3
  - You know the day is coming when TT kids will start having kids... - Mel Profit Oct 23, 07:56 2
    - Logan already has a crush on Emily Yeung (from Disney), so we may be moving to Canada at some point. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:15 1
      - the first kid to kid hook up will be funny. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 08:32
Sasha Fierce?? seriously, why can some people (i'm talking to you Diddy), not just use one name for more than a few years? -- (link) - Danger Girl Oct 23, 07:53 13
- that worked so well for Janet Jackson a few years ago. Garth Brooks to. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:19
- Good point, "Danger Girl" -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 08:14 1
  - Um, or, see mara's post -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 08:15
- a friend was an AD on a commercial she shot, said she was the worst celeb he's ever worked with. - mafic Oct 23, 08:04
- That's because she's jockin' jockin' Jay-Z, jockin' Jay-Z. - TFox Oct 23, 07:55

- You tell 'em, Danger Girl! -- nm - mara Oct 23, 07:53 5
  - heh, i thought of that as i was posting, but i swear i'd never ask any of you to call me Danger Girl in real life! :) -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 07:54 4
    - You'd just stand there, look stern and tap your toes when we say Andie. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 07:58
    - I'd call you danger girl in real life. - mafic Oct 23, 07:56 2
