        I think that fundamentally she just doesn't give a shit. I think she is in the wrong profession. -- nm - volnelk Feb 25, 10:02
        
        That's something new and different for that coke whore. A prescription. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 10:01

- Just give the nice people your money and STFU. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:42 2
  - We do give them our money. A lot of it. And they are trying to charge me a fee to obtain my own documents. - ty97 Feb 25, 09:48 1
    - Uhm, if it is in their contract it is rather standard. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 10:52

Well, hell. It looks like the bill for this plumbing job has more than doubled - prayformojo Feb 25, 09:27 15
- Home equity loans are your friend. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:32
- if that's the case - can't they just seal it off and put in an alternate line for less? -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 09:30 12
  - more digging, more hardware, more pipe costs. more time. more people. more money -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 09:37
  - Usually, no. - Spawn Feb 25, 09:34 2
    - guess I was thinking if the pipe is that bad - you'd run the risk of it happening elsewhere along the line? -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 09:42 1
      - That part maybe true but the money right now would certainly be a lot more. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:43
  - ooooo - I like this idea. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 25, 09:33 6
    - frankly, I'm surprised the contractor didn't suggest it -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 09:34 5
      - you suggested Plants v Zombies and now I've wasted so much time on it. - Epiphany Feb 25, 09:35 4

        Wait, you haven't started playing YET?! - Will Hunting Feb 25, 09:37 1
        
        heh ... well I didn't want anyone else to post about it before me - I so rarely get to put up a new thing here - and this was just new "free" - not - JenBro Feb 25, 09:41
  - This is a good question. -- nm - David Feb 25, 09:32
- Crap, that sucks. :-( -- nm - mara Feb 25, 09:30

- QUIT SHOOTING ME IN THE BACK!!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Feb 25, 09:28
- well, no, you didnt run away when i dodged that sticky launcher shot and killed you. - tRuMaN Feb 25, 09:21 1
  - Your routine is well established. You avoid me until you have power weapons from killing weaker players. - David Feb 25, 09:29
- But is that in a good way or a bad way? -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:20
I've always thought the concept of 'bad words' as in curse words was stupid. The are only bad if you let them be bad. - ty97 Feb 25, 09:15 13
- let's make MORE words bad instead! -- nm - colin Feb 25, 10:03
- If that is true, the same is true for the good words. - Spawn Feb 25, 09:17 3
  - We don't have 'good words'. We just words and a few select 'bad' words. - ty97 Feb 25, 09:18 2
    - I see nothing wrong with that. "Bad" words are extremely useful tools. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:19 1
      - If ty ever has a kid he will name it - Spawn Feb 25, 09:21
- You also had to change the entire system. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 09:17 4
  - Fuck is the best word ever. It can mean *anything* :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 09:18 1
    - One of the Motley Crue shows I went to had a 15 minute video during intermission about that. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:19
  - oh I agree. I mean we, as a society, have to decide that 'bad words' is a silly concept. - ty97 Feb 25, 09:17 1
    - Question: What's your opinion on the f word? Not the one mentioned above. - MDH Feb 25, 09:27
- Sticks and stones, bitches!!! -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:16
- it's a gut thing with that word. just can't help it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:15 1
  - Sure you can. -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:17
Last night, my favorite thing was on the red carpet when JGL was in front of Dustin HOffman and apparently had never actually met him - Will Hunting Feb 25, 09:12 3
- I heard the audio but didn't see it - did Dustin basically say hi and move on? I got the impression that JGL was reduced to Walmart Greeter status. -- nm - Max Feb 25, 09:52
- aw, sorry I missed that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:15
- I liked that too :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 25, 09:14
Beaker: I haven't seen the entire poll, but other chicken restaurants will be there to add up to 100 -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:12 2

- ahh, that makes sense :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:12
So I should go to the grocery and buy salad and diet soda - oblique Feb 25, 09:11
Apparently a comedian is doing (surprisingly) well in today's Italian elections, throwing markets into an uproar. - ty97 Feb 25, 09:08 2
- His policy platform is basically "all politicians are scumbags", so it's no surprise he's doing well -- nm - Roger More Feb 25, 09:17
- tl;dr: Italy elections could lead to re-ignition of Eurozone crisis (again) -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:09
Can we all agree I dont want to cry is Mariah's best song -- nm - eag Feb 25, 09:06 12
- I think we can agree that it isn't even the best song from album "Mariah" -- nm - MDH Feb 25, 09:13 1
  - so many good songs on that album -- nm - zork Feb 25, 09:40
- no. We belong together. - Epiphany Feb 25, 09:11 2
  - Hey there Pip - eag Feb 25, 09:12 1

  - unpossible -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:09 2
    - Yes, I saw Love Actually. - Spawn Feb 25, 09:10 1

  - Carey -- nm - eag Feb 25, 09:07 1

Infographic: Average wait at the election polls by state, age, race and party affiliation. -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Feb 25, 09:06
They published a 9/11 issue on September 13th. But that was too far? -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 25, 09:05 9
- Sometimes satire has an element of cruelty. The question becomes, who is the cruelty directed at? Is a pretty much blameless 9-year-old girl different - mara Feb 25, 09:13
- its the c word nubby. the C word!!!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:07 4
  - I guess it's just my philosophy on comedy. Funny is funny. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 25, 09:09 3
    - funny is funny. this wasn't. I don't particularly mind that they went there, it just didn't work for me. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 09:10 2
      - I thought it was. YMMV. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Feb 25, 09:23
      - pretty much. I see what they were trying to do and found it amusing, but not a joke to die for type of thing -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:11
- absolutely not. they did it the right wway. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:06
- Their 9/11 stuff was the pinnacle of them for me though. I'm not sure they've ever been better -- nm - oblique Feb 25, 09:05 1
  - It absolutely helped me. - Mel Profit Feb 25, 09:17
From b2: there are exactly 2 words I can't say. the n word and the c word. - loosilu Feb 25, 09:04 35
- They're just words. They have exactly the amount of power we give them. -- nm - David Feb 25, 09:33
- The c word is not that big of a deal to me. -- nm - CQ Feb 25, 09:25 4
  - and yet so far all of the women here have said they hate it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:26 3
    - I do. I think it is...effective. -- nm - Kelly Feb 25, 09:53
    - Oh, I'm sure most women hate it, but when I'm with my buds watching soccer or playing darts we call each other that often - CQ Feb 25, 09:29 1
      - OY! -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 25, 09:41
- I've used the C word more in the last week than I have in the rest of my life. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 09:17 2
  - kelly doesn't deserve that, will :( -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 09:19 1
    - That is true. - Will Hunting Feb 25, 09:19
- I use it when it's deserved. susan the original face eater? molly? nicci? - amanda Feb 25, 09:11 2
  - heh -- nm - Don Homer Feb 25, 09:19
  - my ex-stepmother? totally. maybe even my ex-stepsister. -- nm - amanda Feb 25, 09:11
- I can't say the N word and won't say the C word - Epiphany Feb 25, 09:09 1
  - that's a good way to put it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:09
- I wish the c word was used here like in the UK. - Krusty Feb 25, 09:08 12
  - [deleted]
  - I now have a desire to watch In The Loop again. Top knotch swearing right there. -- nm - LMS Feb 25, 09:19 1
    - Yes it does. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 09:45
  - That's how I use it, I do live in a U.K. house though so that helps when saying it in front of the missus -- nm - J Feb 25, 09:12
  - yes. I'd be calling you all cheeky (thats) all day long -- nm - ty97 Feb 25, 09:10
  - I have been known to call guys I know the c word. -- nm - Spawn Feb 25, 09:09
  - British swearing is awesome. -- nm - Shaun Feb 25, 09:09 4

    - Yup. Glad I'm not alone. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 25, 09:10 2

  - Me neither! -- nm - Chris Brown Feb 25, 09:10
  - Lincoln 2 -- nm - Beaker Feb 25, 09:08
  - yes, that was exactly my point. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 09:08 1
    - They're unequatable. -- nm - TFox Feb 25, 09:09
- Same. I cuss like crazy but would feel super weird using either in any context. -- nm - volnelk Feb 25, 09:05
- n*bby and c*r*gon? -- nm - budice Feb 25, 09:05 1
  - n*bby and c*ckr*ng -- nm - what ty97 read Feb 25, 09:11
