- Been out of the loop: What happened to Chris? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:57 19
  - He over-reacted to Rhianna's confession that she shot Biggie -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 11:03

    - She was asking for it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 11:04 1
      - "It's okay, Chris - I'm holding an Umbrella ..." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 11:05

      - i'm not sure about the 'within an inch of her life' - she was treated at hospital and released. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 10:59 5
        
        Sure, take his side. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 11:06
        
        yeah, she apparently idenitifed im as her assialant at the scene, so she was coherent. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 11:00 3
        
        and, it happened the night before the grammy's - after a pre-grammy party. - Andie Feb 10, 11:02 2
        
        Dang, and I always thought he seemed like such a nice boy. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 11:02 1
        
        Boys are not nice. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 11:05
      - I do not believe she was hospitalized. Reports are that she had 'visible injuries' and 'is cooperating with police' -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 10:59 1

        I suspect so, I've never read it - con_carne Feb 10, 11:05
    - greencine, Blockbuster... -- nm - Dano Feb 10, 10:58 1
      - I've never heard of greencine. Looks intriguing, thanks for mentioning them -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 11:00
    - *kicks the dirt* -- nm - Blockbuster Feb 10, 10:57
    - No, it's not. - ty97 Feb 10, 10:57 7
      - [deleted] 5
        
        I use BB, I think Redmond does, too. I love it, but based on what's been happening with my queue, I think their policy is similar to Netflix -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 11:02 3
        
        I use them too. I've never notice any queue weirdness. The ability to exchange in-store for new movies is really nice. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 11:05 2
        
        It's why I joined them. I have a BB store near work, as well as near home -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 11:06

        I wouldn't know, I'm a customer of neither. As a displease customer of one service, maybe you should research the other services available. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 11:01
      - Redbox is nice too. Although you'd have to actually leave your apartment to complete transactions. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:57
wow, I haven't posted any photos in 2 weeks. That means I haven't taken any in 2 weeks. That's a very long drought for me. *sigh* -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 10:54 1
- I just posted a bunch; I had queud up all the ones I'd taken since Feb 3rd. Adding them to the pool now. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:54
18 new menu items coming to Outback. and apparently I'm eating them all today. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 10:53 7
- Give us the scoop when you're done gorging on food. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:56
- apparently? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:54 5
  - the owner from next door is bringing over food for me to try. 1st up Lettecue wdge with blue cheese and a balsamic topping w/ slow roasted sirloin. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 10:56 4
    - with little tomatoes, bacon, onion on the wedge. -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 10:57 3
      - so much for me! -- nm - training schedule Feb 10, 10:58 2

ugh. i was asked to present at a biggish wig meeting in 15 minutes and i'm wearing a fleece hoodie and my michelin tire man boots. :( -- nm - kare Feb 10, 10:49 9
- totally rat/rasta your hair to go with the current trend of homeless chic as popularized by musicians and movie stars and current ecomonic conditions -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:53
- is that bad? I'd think it coolio -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 10:51 2
  - JJ Casuals: the shoes that look like feet. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 10:53 1
    - yeah, maybe flip-flop pool boy is not the best person to consult about employment attire -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 10:55
- I have on occasion purposefully dressed down for meetings. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:51
- swap shirts / shoes with coworker. - Andie Feb 10, 10:50 3

  - ...during the meeting -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 10:51 1
    - nicer idea! -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:52

  - I'm of two mind. - ty97 Feb 10, 10:53 2
    - *grumble* - ty97 Feb 10, 10:54 1
      - I can be down with that...and if that's the case...plead those cases out and be done with it. - Jim Feb 10, 11:03
  - Just as long as we nail em all up to the wall equally, i'm cool with whatever. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:53
  - Witch burning creates jobs. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 10:51 1
    - that's just a one night gig, selling drugs is a whole career -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:55
This isn't related to anything, just a random thought. - kelly Feb 10, 10:46 6
- time to look into appointing a conservatorship? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 11:01
- What about a part time caregiver? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:48 4
  - They won't let *anyone* help. - kelly Feb 10, 10:51 3
    - Sorry to hear this. That's got to be tough on people. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 10, 10:58 1
      - They live in FL, so it's not like anyone is close enough to pop in regularly. - kelly Feb 10, 11:00
    - :( -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:54
My wife gets to watch her soap opera while she works. that's pretty cool. I have no idea which one. maybe the hospital one? -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 10:45 4

valentine's day ecard spam is awful; preying on the single and lonely. - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 10, 10:41 6
- (It is often when we least expect it that we meet the right person, blah blah blah...) -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:42 2
  - I'm not looking. I'm not on the market. nobody is allowed to look for me right now. I'm in school. I get what you're saying but no way. -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 10, 10:45 1
    - I think she doth protest to much! (no I don't) -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:46
- renee zellweger in marie clare: "i'm not single. i'm *busy*." -- nm - kare Feb 10, 10:42 2

  - absolutement. -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 10, 10:45

- outstanding! -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 10:40
- Solid B. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 10:40
- I'd go with odd. They do taste like popcorn, which just isn't right. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 10, 10:40 1
  - The taste isn't right because the texture is all wrong. It's like popcorn flavored paste. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 10:41
- just odd. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:40
- I like them, as I do most of their flavors -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:39
- stupid, just eat pop corn -- nm - CQ Feb 10, 10:39
- Better than average but not great. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 10:39
- Gross. As are licorice, cinnamon, jalepeno. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 10:38
- not good, not bad. Edible. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:38
Damn, I am *impressed*. From order to arrival, my NCIX shipment took about 19 or 20 hours. And there was a ferry ride! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:36
Former deputy. He was trained to shoot for the body mass. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 10:33 18
- Unless you're SWAT or Secret Service or something, anybody who aims for anything else doesn't deserve to have a gun. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:38 9
  - I would be really surprised if SS had orders other than shoot to kill. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:39 8
    - SS also have to account for possible body armor of potential attackers - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:41
    - I'm thinking there more of the "hiding behind the hostage" situation where the center body mass isn't available. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:41 6
      - I don't think sharpshooters are SS. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:41 5
        
        yes, SS has snipers stationed, usually to beat the competition to the best spots, remember west wing with CJ discussing the "JAR" rifles the SS use - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:59 1
        
        cool, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 11:01
        
        We are nowhere near the point here. The point is, unless you're specially trained to do so, you always aim for the body. Anything else is a good way to end up dead. -- nm - Ender Feb 10, 10:43 1
        
        totally agreed, I was just going off on a tangent. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:44
        
        I'm sure some SS folks have been sharpshooters in the past, though. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:42

  - The only issue I might have is if he isn't licensed to provide armed security. - TWuG Feb 10, 10:38 2
    - Yeah, only question I had was his status since flannel's an interesting choice of uniform. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:45 1
      - sometimes it's easier to be low-profile. all the security guards in the local department store are plainclothes (but I'd bet none of them have guns) -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:47
- yeah, if a guy is holding a gun to someone's head, you dno't shoot to piss him off. you shoot to stop him. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:35
- who? bentley driver? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:34 2
  - minnie had a kid? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:41
  - Here: -- (link) - TWuG Feb 10, 10:36 [Backboard]
i never thought it was this possible to hate and adore (and hate and hate) your job all at the same time. - kare Feb 10, 10:32 3
- although I was effed by every other downturn, this time I hit the jackpot. thank God. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:37
- Yeah, I'm really liking that I'm in school right now - con_carne Feb 10, 10:36
- ditto -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 10:34
Thanks to Andie I now have Zac Efron on my balls. -- nm - Dano Feb 10, 10:32 5
- woo! -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 10:40
- He's got his head in the game. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 10:35 1
  - He's going the distance -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 10:36
- another entry for the hall of unfortunate tattoos? -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 10:32 1
  - my favorite is Kelsey Grammar's in Up Periscope. "Welcome aboard" -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 10:39
However, when girls try to kiss me, I'm all Heisman Trophy. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 10:32
What's a good RSS feed for entertainment headlines that I can parse into my website? -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 10:31 2
- Nevermind, Yahoo! Entertainment will cut it. -- (link) - Mop Feb 10, 10:32 1
  - See, bery? -- nm - David Feb 10, 10:33
I'm gonna, and I may be crazy, guess that that is a 3 month opportunity, at best. nm -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 10:31 10
- Not about the internship, specifically, but about the social security office as a whole. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:33 7
  - I know...I was just making the obvious joke. nm - Jim Feb 10, 10:41
  - baby boomers are just starting to retire. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:34 5
    - Exactly. Office going to go bust with bankruptcy soon (give or take 20 years) -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:36 4
      - They ain't going broke in the next 2 years, so intern away. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 10:41
      - [deleted]
      - they will still need clerks, I mean counselors, to explain to them why that's all they get after all those years of paying in -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:38
      - well, you're certainly expecting a lot out of that internship. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:36
- oops...this should be down there -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 10:31 1
  - that's what she said -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 10:31
The local social security office is offering summer internships. I wonder about the sustainability of that job. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:29 4
- That seems very different from what you've done before, no? I wonder why the change? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 10:37 2
  - Just considering options. It's local, though, which lacks the exotic. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 10, 10:39 1
    - you're young enough to go for the exotic. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 10:41
- boomers will start applying soon, lots of them -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 10, 10:36
