- amoxy? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:13 1

- (nitpick: the pastor is a woman.) -- nm - kelly Jan 31, 12:13 1
  - And she claims to have left a cash tip. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:14
Http/1.1 Service Unavailable - That's Amazon.com -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 12:12 5

ST Music Festival Poll -- Assuming this year's lineup is just as interesting as last year's, how interested would you be in going to this? -- (link) - znufrii Jan 31, 12:11 3
- That lineup is infinitely better than Coachella's. Probably a 7-8. -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 12:16
- Friends went last year and had fun, but for me this is like a 1/2. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:12
- does my ticket give me free reign to punch them in their hipster faces? -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 12:12
In order to make the Girl Who Played With Fire (Dragon Tattoo sequel) on the cheap, they may be trying to dump Daniel Craig. -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:07 9
- I'm sure there are plenty of other people who can casually look at old articles and photos for less money. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 12:15
- The film was a pretty big box office success, that's strange -- nm - Guigue Jan 31, 12:13 2
  - actually it was not. (the Swedish one was. The Sony one in English - not so much). - Diva Jan 31, 12:15
  - Ah, maybe not - Guigue Jan 31, 12:14
- they should just wait a year, remake the original, then make the sequel. no one will notice. -- nm - Jovian Jan 31, 12:09 1
  - I'm sure what we need is three different movies of that book -- nm - oblique [220] Jan 31, 12:10
- Yeah, because changing the script would be *so* much better for the box office than just casting someone else -- nm - oblique [220] Jan 31, 12:09 1

- It appears to just be the home page. If you link to a product page everything is fine. -- nm - decline Jan 31, 12:08 1
  - Indeed, based on what I saw, that makes sense. Maybe they were trying to put up some kind of "WE WON!" banner for the bestbuy closures -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 12:15
- A communications disruption could mean only one thing. - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:03 2

- you mean this form 4562? -- (link) - znufrii Jan 31, 12:03 2
  - Yes, but it hasn't been updated for tax changes so it won't let you eFile even if you wanted to. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 12:11 1

- What's all this? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:02 3
  - I need 1099s for my brokerage accounts (they don't have to send those until 2/15) - ty97 Jan 31, 12:04 2
    - 1099? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jan 31, 12:13
    - and 1098 is my interest/tax statement from my mortgage company. I was wrong about waiting for it, I already have it -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 12:05
- Slacker! -- nm - David Jan 31, 11:58 3

  - Truth be told, he's gotten worse since he lost to Obama. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:11 1
    - He's as cranky as Cheney ever was, he needs a Bannana Republic uniform and a title of Information Minister, he's lost heart and sense of humor -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 31, 12:15
  - a spoiled brat since the Naval Academy -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 12:09
- How many babies did you kill in Vietnam? What, you have a problem following orders? -- nm - Max Jan 31, 12:05
- You would be a better Secretary of Keeping It Real anyway. -- nm - David Jan 31, 11:57 1
  - I have to agree. -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 11:57
so like, that odd job i posted about. they appearantly request an interview less than 30mins after receiving my resume from the headhunter. - tRuMaN Jan 31, 11:53 5

    - *hires a weatherman to predict whatever they want* -- nm - Delta si Jan 31, 11:52 4
      - I don't fly Delta (yet) but I've had both American and Southwest claim bad weather delays when none existed. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:55 3
        
        if they can't get the equipment there because of weather somewhere else, it's still weather related. -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 11:57 1
        
        No, the airplane is sitting here. They claim bad weather at the landing site is why they can't take off. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:59
        
        I hate on Delta due to their large presence here. - Strongbad Jan 31, 11:56

      - Oh yeah, we liked it a lot. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 31, 12:07

      - I had messaged dinin to scale it back a bit so maybe let's try and slow shit down there -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 11:48 6
        
        slow it down on .org or .com? -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 11:50 2
        
        org, he's driving the bus toward the cliff there -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 11:50 1
        
        ah, i see. -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 11:52
        
        I can help wrangle him a bit too if it'll help. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 31, 11:49 2
        
        if we weren't all fighty on .com it would be cool as we handled CWG once already, but two wars would be ugh -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 11:50 1

        you guys have said Derp so much, the words have lost all meaning - prayformojo Jan 31, 11:46 1
        
        Here you go. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 31, 12:00 [Image]
