I'm gradually becoming more and more serious about the idea of a venture ... - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:27 9
- I think the major flaw is that topics come up and then the discussion is lost soon after - SG3 Jan 18, 15:41 2
  - I actually disagree. I think that our dialogue is more varied and moves faster -- nm - amanda Jan 18, 15:45 1
    - I think that's the difference. This style leads to an ongoing group conversation as opposed to topic driven set of posts - JD Jan 18, 15:49
- The style of ST seems very unique (which you can't say about very much on the internet). I think it's absolutely marketable. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 15:35 2
  - Maybe once I do a visual refresh, it will be something I can point at and say "Look, you can use this to build a social community." -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:39 1
    - "...or, to TEAR IT APART!" -- nm - Dr.Vermin, marketer Jan 18, 15:41
- You would have to sell it on being able to create a community more than other styles -- nm - zork Jan 18, 15:32
- I mean, the underlying software, not the forum itself -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:31 1
  - *chuckle* - JD Jan 18, 15:43
Helli st. Whats happenin? -- nm - Truman Jan 18, 15:25
Some of these celebrity confessions are ones that we missed earlier -- (link) - zork Jan 18, 15:16 1
- That Jim Bakker picture looked off. I thought it might be from the TV movie but no. Kevin Spacey placed him in the movie (!!!) - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 15:25
Mel, I put out a war footing message to the Alliance. Also, messaged you directly that we need to find out what VIP plans to do if we can... - Beaker Jan 18, 15:09 9
- sounds like there have been developments. - Mel Profit Jan 18, 15:41 1
  - flav memntioned an attack, but it was just on one of the regular spots, my bad -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:49
- Uhm, dammit. - musubi Jan 18, 15:11 5
  - I figure we are ok for now, but if Black Shadow goes balistic and gets things rolling things could get testy -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:13 4
    - plus I am half in thne bag and likely to hit some neighbours for fun -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:13 3
      - priesty tells me Cloe's MS has shot up the past few days so there you go.. -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:19 2
        
        That's not good. - Mel Profit Jan 18, 15:42 1
        
        I messaged her, we've always had a good relationship -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:49
- and any ika.com players who have stopped playing, if you want to come back, now is the time, likely warring with the #1 Alliance in the near future... - Beaker Jan 18, 15:11

I hate it when my glitter nail polish gives me different advice contrary to what my sweat pants say -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 18, 15:07 5
- I love how people replying to her have her name on their accounts -- nm - zork Jan 18, 15:21
- my sweat pants say "JUICY" and my nail polish says "slut whore" -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 15:08 3
  - My eyeglass chain says librarian and my shoes say lesbian. Ah, shit. -- nm - Mara Jan 18, 15:10 2
    - I'd say those are cumulative, not contradictory - zork Jan 18, 15:19
    - ha -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 15:11
*whispers* Usama... Usama... *pop* *pop* -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 15:06 4

  - Ditto. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 15:14
  - I was just coming back to post this. Not to toot my own horn but I think he looks way older than me. - zork Jan 18, 15:14 4
    - I mean, he's gaunt, which can translate to "old" but even beyond that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 15:15 3
      - I think a lot of it is that his skin looks leathery, probably from being in the sun so much -- nm - zork Jan 18, 15:17 1
        
        and people laugh at me when I spf 90. guys, it's no joke. the sun will make you look like a roast chicken. -- nm - amanda Jan 18, 15:47
      - On the plus side, if he keeps non-dope cycling, he could look 41 until the day he dies -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:16
- The hell you say. I don't know what to believe in anymore. (nm) - musubi Jan 18, 15:09
- does this this surprise anyone? heh -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 15:07
- I'm really a black man. -- nm - Lance Lie Strong Jan 18, 15:06
My wife just emailed YTV...we were watching an episode of Kung Fu Panda and a commercial for Bones came on...now i don't know if you watch it but... - Beaker Jan 18, 15:02 1
- yes (spoils) - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:06
The over/under on Kaepernick's longest run on Saturday is15 1/2. That's a fairly safe over, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jan 18, 15:00 5
- looks like they just took the median for his starts. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 15:14
- yes. no problem -- nm - Epiphany Jan 18, 15:04
- Over! -- nm - Bacon Jan 18, 15:02
- I'm wondering if they get fancy and try and change it up and it bites them in the ass... -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 15:01

Well, it's nice that the Statue of Liberty approves of the Jets' choice of GM -- nm - prayformojo Jan 18, 14:54 2

  - always remember, he has more playoff wins right now as a Bronco than Peyton. - Beaker Jan 18, 15:00
Repost: Papa John's is offering 50% off large pizzas with coupon code PAPA50 [Exp 1/23]. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 14:52 5
- question - do they start off as $ 20 pizzas? like now its a $ 10 pizza and not really all that great of a deal? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 18, 15:05 4
  - I got a large pizza and breadsticks for $10 and change. -- nm - Spawn Jan 18, 15:32
  - I can say from the highscore deal that they don't. - Reagen Jan 18, 15:12 1
    - I had no idea they were in Canada. Their website though tells me the closest one is more than 50km away. -- nm - zork Jan 18, 15:36

And here is a photo of Manti Te'o with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo�s Sister The Night Before The Notre Dame-USC Game - amoxy Jan 18, 14:41 8
- I've completely lost track of who's who. It's starting to read like an anthropomorphic nature documentary to me. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 14:56 7
  - The names are too much for me. "That's not a real word!!" -- nm - Amanda Jan 18, 15:00 6
    - In my head, they're all names of killer whales. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 15:01 5
      - L3. Preach it, boyfriend. -- nm - Mara Jan 18, 15:04 3

        The word "boyfriend" can mean different things to different people, you know -- nm - Mara Jan 18, 15:13
      - Heh. -- nm - MDH Jan 18, 15:04
Anyone else thinking that Gold Rush has become extremely boring this year? There better be someone hitting some big time gold or I'm gonna be pissed -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 14:41 12
- BTW, did you see this? -- (link) - zork Jan 18, 14:55 3
  - yeah, that is great -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 14:56 2
    - I've got a few episodes of Bamazon(?) recorded. Is it worth watching? - zork Jan 18, 15:01 1
      - havn't seen Bamazon, but those two roid heads were unbearable -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 15:06
- I wouldn't say extremely boring, but I think it's a little less entertaining this season, because the Hoffman crew is finally bordering on competant. - musubi Jan 18, 14:54 2
  - correction, half of the Hoffman crew -- nm - zork Jan 18, 14:55 1
    - Well, to be fair, some of the new guys working with Todd seem competant. - musubi Jan 18, 14:57
- it could definitely be better. - zork Jan 18, 14:53 4
  - Agree with all of this. Parker has made some surprisingly dumb decisions this season. - musubi Jan 18, 14:56 3
    - Parker is also 19? Dude is gonna make mistakes and learn from them. Todd is just dumb and can't change his dumb -- nm - CQ Jan 18, 14:58 2
      - his parents shouldn't have let him do all that without test holes -- nm - zork Jan 18, 15:00
      - Yup, but he wasn't even 19 last season, and he made a lot of calm, sensible choices. - musubi Jan 18, 14:59
I wish I could just develop my hobby projects full-time and not have to worry about income. This week has been horrid. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 14:21 9
- word. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 14:26 8
  - It's seeming as though I can't go the traditional route (spare time freelancing) because my spare time is not structured enough for billing purposes - Beryllium Jan 18, 14:40 7
    - oh, speaking of which, I crunched the 2012 revenue numbers for ST - Beryllium Jan 18, 14:47 6
      - So, dividends for members then? -- nm - Mara Jan 18, 15:07 3
        
        Maybe when it's making five times that amount ... per month ... we can consider it. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 15:15 2
        
        I request, nay *demand*, a pizza party! - musubi Jan 18, 15:22 1
        
        Now we just have to agree on the best place to order from. - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 15:38

  - Here is where I get 75% of my news -- nm - amoxy Jan 18, 14:28 2
    - Yep. When I listen to 'Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me", I know everything. Because of ST. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 18, 14:29 1
      - I fill out a number of surveys that ask me if I get my news online, and from what source: You know, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit. - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 14:36
- I don't think leukemia is vengeful enough to target any one person, nor is it dumb enough to be tricked by a fake death. -- nm - Max Jan 18, 14:23
- Dig up, stupid -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 14:22 6
  - Even Lance Armstrong is saying enough already - Epiphany Jan 18, 14:38
  - and if you really want people to believe you were not in on it... how bout, you know, say something already -- nm - SG3 Jan 18, 14:24 1
    - It hasn't been that long though. It just seems like it because we've been talking about it nonstop -- nm - Mara Jan 18, 15:11
  - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Jan 18, 14:23
  - the shovel is fake! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 18, 14:23 1

- maybe your store will have the little bags. satisfy the craving without having a box calling to you. -- nm - b. Jan 18, 14:01 2
  - ^5 good idea b! -- nm - JenBro Jan 18, 14:06
  - little bags of cat fud? ew. -- nm - zork Jan 18, 14:03
- I have needed cat litter for days and I've been in a store twice and forgotten - I hate when that happens - Epiphany Jan 18, 14:01 10
  - Ahhh yep - Jim (thankfully) finds a hard surface instead of things like clothes on the floor - towels - shoes - or what Ev's when I forget the litter. -- nm - JenBro Jan 18, 14:05
  - Better get it quick. I didn't clean mine out yesterday, my cat decided to poop in 3 spots around the house early this morning - amoxy Jan 18, 14:04 8

        so did you make him step in the third pile? ;) -- nm - JenBro Jan 18, 14:21 2
        
        Rubbed his face in it. That was the first one I found. The problem is my apartment has this brown carpet that makes it hard to find these presents (nm - amoxy Jan 18, 14:24 1

    - It was Reagen's reply that made me see the humor of the post. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 18, 15:02
    - With all the jokes about her being in high-profile dangerous locations...the image of her jumping on the last ride out of Hanoi is the first to mind - Will Hunting Jan 18, 14:29 3
      - you gotta forgive groiny....he's from Chicago and therefore slow. -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 14:38
      - yes. over specificity is funny. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 14:34 1
