    - who told you that? - groiny Jan 4, 13:38

  - It's not you, it's me -- nm - George Costanza Jan 4, 13:35
I can't find my pink Chapstick. -- nm - bery si Jan 4, 13:29 9
- To be clear, the lid is pink. The chapstick itself isn't. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:54
- I was just going to out you with the "I can't find my chapstick" story... - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:32 6
  - i'm riffing on (stealing from) Fred Armisen. It was appropriate at the time. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 13:40 5
    - I don't think we can live in the same house if you insist on doing that again. - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:43 4
      - me drunkenly rummaging thru my pockabook *is* funny. -- nm - Diva Jan 4, 13:45 3

ST parents - can I ask - did you ever secure your flatscreen TV to something in order to prevent toppling on the baby? (assuming it wasn't already on - kelly Jan 4, 13:23 14
- We got a wall mount for ours -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:53
- Debbie is wanting to do something like this over the winter....we have our tv on a stand also and its part of changes to the living room... - Walt_Disney Jan 4, 13:43
- Flatscreens were before my kids were grown. My kids never really climbed on things though. - JaxSean Jan 4, 13:41
- Thought about it, but never did. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 4, 13:38 1
  - oh man, you guys have major earthquake risk. you should secure everything. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:40
- You should do it even if you don't have kids. -- nm - tl Jan 4, 13:32
- i would think a simple strap would be fine for the tv, if it works for bookcases and the like. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:30
- here's the blog post - again, it is heartbreaking. -- (link) - kelly Jan 4, 13:29
- There are lots of stories of these things. I would recommend them. Any reason you wouldn't just mount it on the wall? -- nm - pmb Jan 4, 13:27 4
  - Cost, mainly. I think it costs a lot less for the straps than it does for one of those mounting units. -- nm - kelly Jan 4, 13:38 2
    - $30 to $75, depending on the size of the tv. - tRuMaN Jan 4, 13:45 1
      - Yeah. Just get the mounting brackets from Amazon instead of best buy and there are really reasonably priced ways to mount on the wall. -- nm - pmb Jan 4, 13:48
  - we mounted ours, but iirc, it did come with an anchor strap as well. -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 13:36
- not a parent, but I secured all of my bookcases. was very happy about this when we had the earthquake. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:24

  - all trivia works differently. thanks though for the tip. -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:34 3
    - I've won, or lost a trivianight on these. -- nm - tl Jan 4, 13:45 2
      - again, every trivia is different. I appreciate your help. I know what I need to work on to do my best at my trivia night. -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:47 1
        
        I got that the first time you said it. - tl Jan 4, 13:49
- let me know when it is hair metal trivia night. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:23 26
  - it was last night. we lost by two points. two points!! freaking iron maiden! -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:24 17
    - not a sarcastic question. is Iron Maiden hair metal? -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:26 16
      - "Hair Metal" to me depended on the demo the band was trying to attract... - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:31 13
        
        KISS is a tough one for the reasons you give inside. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:33 12
        
        I don't even consider them a metal band. nm - Dignan Jan 4, 13:40 2
        
        most hair bands were not metal. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:41
        
        hard rock -- nm - zork Jan 4, 13:41
        
        for what it's worth, we had no KISS last night. -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:37 1
        
        if I was there, there would have been plenty of KISS. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:37
        
        not really, Kiss was all about the chicks in the late 80's. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:34 6
        
        She has a point though with the late 70s KISS...but I think I got it... - Mel Profit Jan 4, 13:36 3
        
        once they lost the makeup, they became a hair band. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:37 2
        
        kind of ironic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:38 1
        
        I remember watcing a VHS tape of them, with makeup off..... - groiny Jan 4, 13:39
        
        but they released their first album in '73 -- nm - zork Jan 4, 13:36
        
        maybe so, but I knew so many guys who loved them. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:35
      - I would imagine it's debatable as is any other music question. lines blur. -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:27
      - I would say borderline yes. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:27
  - And let me know when it's awesome music night. -- nm - spamlet Jan 4, 13:23 7
    - international music trivia night, noted. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 13:25
    - Next week! :-) - Krusty Jan 4, 13:24 5
      - you should come visit. be our ringer. -- nm - amanda Jan 4, 13:25 4
        
        TFox and I would clean up. :-) - Krusty Jan 4, 13:28 3
        
        and i for some reason am listening to Tame Impala (spoils: so not hip hop). -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:29 2
        
        In your honors, I put on Ana Tijoux. - spamlet Jan 4, 13:39
        
        I have Redman's Time 4 Sum Aksion going right now. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 4, 13:32
