- FriendFeed does the same. I like it. :) -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:00
- can you like-like them? -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:59 5
  - /me fucks news feed -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:00 2
    - (psst. news feed is a guy.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:01 1
      - That is what happens when you like something. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:04
  - I wish I can like this post -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 09:00 1
    - another suggestion for Bery -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 09:02
- but we can't not like them. that's bogus. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:59 1
  - I think you should be able to be an "un-fan" of things too, not just a "fan." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 09:02
Champion X-Gamer killed in a competition - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:55 1
- *Finish him!* -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:55
We don't have Dunkin' Donuts here. All I know about them is - con_carne Feb 10, 08:54 7
- I never thought they were too big but no, they don't fit in the coffee cup without breaking them. - Krusty Feb 10, 08:55 2
  - used to be my favorite. I heard it went down but don't know. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:58
  - In a world where McD's coffee is better than Starbucks, theirs better be good too, I guess - con_carne Feb 10, 08:57
- They are regular size donuts. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:55 3
  - Donuts used to be much smaller. -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 08:59 1
    - Donuts in general. Not just DD's. -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 08:59
  - or not eat soggy doughnuts. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:57
Someone promised me a document before noon. what are the chances I'll get it?' -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:48 6
- "12 noon?" No two noon you dumb...!" - George Wallace Feb 10, 08:52
- did they specify a date? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:49 4
  - uh, today. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:50 3
    - did they actually say "noon today." or just "I'll have it to you by noon."? - mafic Feb 10, 08:51 2
      - *exasperated eye roll* - loosilu Feb 10, 08:52 1
        
        you are apparently not an auditor -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:55
*sigh* - kelly Feb 10, 08:43 34
- Hmm, I think I can see her point, if inartfully phrased. - Reagen Feb 10, 08:55 5
  - your curious from a detached socio-psychological standpoint, I think - ty97 Feb 10, 08:56 4
    - Your IM is correct. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 09:09
    - oh fuck me. *you're* -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:58 2
      - grammatical mistakes get you hot and bothered? -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 09:00
      - heh -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:59

- My dad beat up my mom once. I was 13 then my mom ran behind because she was so scared. I never respect a man who beats up a woman even whatever - Sheep Feb 10, 08:49
- I'm sure Rihanna's a drama queen. Still not an excuse to beat her up... -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 10, 08:48
- She's 19. She probably was nagging him but that gives him no right. Moron. -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 08:48
- Bitches, man. -- nm - David Feb 10, 08:47
- This is modern day America. Of *course* he/she wonders what happened. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:47 5
  - Wondering what happened is different than assuming the victim is the one at fault for 'starting it', no? -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:49 2
    - granted, but your coworker also didn't say she was at fault. Just wondering what set him off -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:50
    - Well, he didn't hit her for no reason or he would have already done that! -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:50
  - "omg, did someone catch it on their cameraphone?" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:48 1
    - Seriously. Someone called 911, did they film it? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:48
- Wow. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:46
- Do lambourghinis even HAVE back seats? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:46
- I know a horrible, offensive joke about this (spoilers, obviously) - mafic Feb 10, 08:46 1
  - I tried not to laugh. - Spawn Feb 10, 08:48
- The dude may have a point. I mean, if the story broke that Chuck Finley beat the shit out of Tawny Kitaen...it would have been a huge story. - Jim Feb 10, 08:46 7
  - Chuck Finley has more self-restraint than I would. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:51 1
    - Exactly...but if he'd beat the shit out of her and put her in the hospital...all that would have been reported is - Jim Feb 10, 09:02
  - (not that it matters, but my cw is a girl, not a dude.) -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:47 3
    - Well that's....odd. -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 08:49
    - oh wow. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:49
    - Oh, it matters. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:48
  - But cw isn't suggesting self-defense - ty97 Feb 10, 08:47
- I know a horrible, offensive joke about this (spoilers, obviously) - mafic Feb 10, 08:45 2
  - you posted this twice. *SMACK* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:47 1
    - yeah, and it's not even funny. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:48
- You should punch your CW repeatedly in the face then blame them for setting you off. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 08:45
- do me a favor - ty97 Feb 10, 08:44
Whatever. This just made my day. -- (link) - Mop Feb 10, 08:38 3
- she is stunning ( although her lack of hips is odd) and she also looks so different in day time photos - Epiphany Feb 10, 09:00 1
  - Yeah, but the oddness is a bit too much in my opinion. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:04
- her name is Bar? I love her -- nm - Jack Dawson si Feb 10, 08:41
WTF. I just got an IM out of the blue from "cromulentsalmon" which reads, "Hi, Billy Mays here with another fantastic coho." -- nm - mara Feb 10, 08:37 2
- Of all the salmon in the world, coho is one of them. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:40
- L5 -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:37

- From a PR point, he handled that well, I think. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:40 13
  - [deleted] 12
    - are they winning the PR battle, or is he letting them overplay their hand, so he can come in and trump them? - znufrii Feb 10, 08:48 11
      - Or he's just now realizing his congressional leaders are Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:50 9

        You are forgiven. -- nm - Hillary Feb 10, 08:58
        
        why would anyone want to do that? -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:55 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        oh, good thing that doesn't describe me in the slightest. - znufrii Feb 10, 08:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        there is that, too... -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:50

- because as it was pointed out last night, 30% of the public believe Phelps story is as bad or worse then A-Rod nm - Jovian Feb 10, 08:40
- We knew that early in his administrator, Obama would be tested by the forces of darkness and evil. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:39 1
  - Nice. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 08:44
- Their only hope is for the country to fail, while offering nothing. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 08:38 1
  - They offer less gov't. They offer a negative. -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:40
- they've mostly abandoned any pretense at governing, it seems to me. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:37
~I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today.~ -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 08:35
Not Doublemint! -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:34
15 companies that might not make it through the--- aw, fudge! Thanks, ty! -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:34
Loosi...I just cut and paste from a radio industry news site. It's thier format. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 08:33 10
- is that supposed to tell you which words to emphasize? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:34 9
  - it's not that kind of radio news site. It's like an industry news site for radio people to read....I believe some words are highlighted like that... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:37 6
    - so, short attention span news. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:38 5
      - pretty much. Most radio people don't have much time to really *read* the stories in depth. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 08:39 3
        
        I was just teasing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:40 2
        
        ah. well you were actually correct though. Which must be an unusual occurance for you. - Remlik Feb 10, 08:42 1
        
        *smacks you* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:43
      - more for news directors to be able quickly pick out stories of interest for their casts. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 08:39
  - Might be search words. -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 08:34 1
    - Indeed, it could be a poor man's case insensitive search optimization - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:37
Fallout 3 question (maybe spoilers) - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:33 11
- several - Jovian Feb 10, 08:42
- spoils...at least... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:35 1
  - woo hoo! I guessed how many there are, I couldn't remember the exact number. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 08:40
- There are about 6, if you continue on with the mission you'll get to one that when completed will give you the locations of all of the vaults. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 08:34 6
  - ah. cool. I've been avoiding the main mission partly because I didn't want to have it "end" too quickly -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:35 5
    - A good stopping point for the main mission is (spoils) - Brian Feb 10, 08:49
    - The main mission isn't very full and can be completed well before reaching level 20. - Krusty Feb 10, 08:39
    - spoils...the main mission... - Remlik Feb 10, 08:38 2
      - I saved the game before starting that mission so I could finish off the side quests and most of the achievements. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 08:41 1
        
        good plan. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 08:43
- A handful. A couple are part of the main story, others are not. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 08:34
The complete list of 15 companies that might not surive 2009, from Yahoo Finance -- (link) - ty97 Feb 10, 08:33 39
- I'll be shocked if Sirius doesn't either go Chapter 11 - Brian Feb 10, 08:55
- No more Rainforest Cafe? I like them. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:45
- I don't see Blockbuster closing any time soon. Sbarro will just be replaced by some other mall pizza place. Poor Claires. I just went there last week -- nm - Qale Feb 10, 08:41 5
  - but I don't *want* some other mall pizza place! -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:45 2
    - I don't want any, they all suck, especially Sbarro. Such crappy pizza and overcooked pasta. -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 09:01
    - I wonder if they have airport locations. -- nm - Qale Feb 10, 08:54
  - And all doubt in my mind is erased. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:43 1
    - Haha! I'd think a gay boy going to Claires is pretty natural. -- nm - Qale Feb 10, 08:51
- Do we not shed a tear for Krispy Kreme? -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:37 7
  - I'm a Dunkin girl. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:45
  - Indeed - con_carne Feb 10, 08:42 3
    - mmm, I love KK donuts. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:45 2
      - *revokes your New Englander card* -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:46 1
        
        That's fine. - kelly Feb 10, 08:51
  - Hell no - worst donuts EVER. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 08:42
  - not one. Never been very impressed -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:38
- ^oxymoron^ -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 08:37 2
  - You mean, "takes one to know one"? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 08:38 1
    - I'm just saying no way is this a "complete" list at only 15 - con_carne Feb 10, 08:44
- Aww, I love Six Flags. (Can't remember the last time I saw a Krispy Kreme.) -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:37 2
  - *burps* - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:37 1
    - There was one in RI but it closed a while back. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 08:40
- I would like almost nothing more than to see Trump crash & burn again. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 08:36
- Blockbuster. Yeah. die already -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:34 15
  - Nooo! They're my "Netflix". Also, losing my KK would break my heart - con_carne Feb 10, 08:39
  - I know. I hate the idea of being able to run down the street and get any movie I want, when I want it. nm - Jim Feb 10, 08:38 1
    - Hrmmm, your blockbuster was a helluva lot better than my last one. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 08:42
  - They should have bought Circuit City! -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:35
  - I like Sbarro though :( And Rite Aid?! -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:35 10
    - Dollar/Thrifty is interesting. I know the Pentagon travel office likes to use them. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:37 1
      - omg. Chart House restaurants? I love them. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:39
    - First Dominos, now Sbarro? *shakes head at ty97's lack of pizza discretion* -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:36 3
      - It's the best chain pizza I've found. (Note where I live) - ty97 Feb 10, 08:37 2
        
        You should be mail ordering Giordano's and stocking up -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 08:38 1
        
        Fair enough, but for an instant fix, Sbarro is decent. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:39
    - Sbarro is in the process of opening in our local mall very soon. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 08:36
    - stand-alone drug stores are getting whupped by Wal-mart and grocery stores. Rite Aid started moving towards the mini-grocery format but never got ther -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 08:35
    - Rite Aid took over Eckerd (which I really liked). Too many stores. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:35 1
      - You've never seen a Walgreen's/CVS infestation, apparently -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:43
Word. -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 08:32
