how fast do we think I could get flowers delivered? like, could I get them delivered by EOD west coast time? -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:00 10

  - what if I call a florist in seattle? -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:02 5
    - what town ? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 13:06
    - Depends - are you wanting flowers delivered to someone in San Diego? Probably wouldn't work. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 4, 13:05
    - Try it. Might take more than one call to find one that can do it. -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 13:04
    - It's a monday in a holiday desert month, I'd bet they can do it in your four hour window. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:03 1
      - yeah, they'll do it (they might charge more for delivery though - their regular run might be done.) -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 13:05
- maybe if you call a local shop directly -- nm - decline Mar 4, 13:01 1
  - thanks. (my sister had a *bad* weekend.) -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:01
- maybe if you can find a local flower shop and call them directly. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 13:00
Wasn't it listed as #3 or something yesterday? Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is now the YtD 2013 box office champ -- nm - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:58 1
- It is a big Sunday movie, I guess? Yesterday had actual numbers. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:59
'glee' meets 'Archie'. (sitmop) -- (link) - Diva Mar 4, 12:57 2
- "Glee" meets "Archer" -- nm - The inevitable gleeocide would be AWESOME si Mar 4, 13:04 1

I think ben affleck might be hot. am I crazy? -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:47 15
- you're still googly eyes of the winter beard. duh. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 12:57 11
  - oh true. so true. thanks. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:59
  - he shaved it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:58 9
    - some -- (link) - amanda Mar 4, 12:59 [Image] 8
      - 1) who's the chick flashing her tights? 2) what *is* that shirt? 3) whoa, work has not blocked dlisted. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:01 6
        
        Phoebe Price -- nm - decline Mar 4, 13:03 5
        
        oh, i can see the D here, but Phoebe Price postings always amuse me. she is such a nobody fame-whore. - Andie Mar 4, 13:06 1
        
        (can't) -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 13:06
        
        1) is she stalking ben, or ben's daughter? 2) what *is* a phoebe price? 3) Is she older or younger than Lindsay Lohan? -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:04 2
        
        She was born in 72, so older than LiLo -- (link) - TWuG Mar 4, 13:07
        
        ben's daughter is like, 7. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:06
      - I say hot. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:00
- You need to go get some rest or something. - Spawn Mar 4, 12:55
- just got glasses for the first time? -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:47
- Jen Garner thinks so. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 12:47
from B2 : tfox, yeah, I pretty much force myself to chug half the bottle so I can be done with it. - groiny Mar 4, 12:45
Remember the official portrait of Duchess Kate that everyone hated? Another painter has tried her own version. -- (link) - loosilu Mar 4, 12:43 29
- Just making sure...she's still like only a 30yr old woman, right? She didn't age 25yrs since the wedding, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 4, 12:59 4
  - "Honey. You're *gonna get the job.* You don't need to make yourself *look* like QEII." -- nm - Max Mar 4, 13:08
  - Painting adds a decade or two, everyone knows that. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 13:00 1
    - Exactly how many painters were on you? -- nm - Chandler Bing Mar 4, 13:04
  - any portrait painter who takes a pretty 30 year old and makes her look like that needs to question their profession. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:00
- [deleted]
- Is her face really that asymetrical? - Reagen Mar 4, 12:53 2
  - All I know is that in her toplees photos she *is* asymetrical. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:54
  - no. that's a drawing mistake. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:54
- eeesh, that chin! -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:51 1
  - the shadow colors are wrong. they look like she has dirt on her face. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:51
- It looks like a street vendor celebrity portrait -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 12:49 2
  - is she a big head with tiny body riding a unicycle? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 4, 13:03
  - it's about as good as the average portrait in my wednesday night class. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:51
- I was expecting this -- (link) - TWuG Mar 4, 12:45 [Image]
- a lot better -- nm - J Mar 4, 12:44 13
  - heh, I hate it. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:47 12
    - But better than the first one. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:49 11
      - she doesn't look like she's going to vomit, but it's technically amateur. The official guy knows how to paint. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:51 10
        
        knowing how to paint and painting a nonshitty painting are two different animals. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:52 9
        
        my point exactly. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:52
        
        1,000 Spawn Points -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:52 7
        
        like, I'm sure yanni is a great musician. he just makes shitty music. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:55 6
        
        again, my point exactly. the first guy can paint. the lady can't. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:55 5
        
        and neither of them did a particularly good job. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:57 1
        
        There are dozens of painters in the UK who could do better. I personally know half a dozen painters in DC who would do better. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:58
        
        That is... not what we are saying. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:56 2
        
        I think they are both butt ugly. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:56 1
        
        They are both bad, but this is better. - Spawn Mar 4, 12:57
Groiny, can you add a lime or lemon wedge to your water? - amoxy Mar 4, 12:39 21
- Sure, I can, just no sweetners. - groiny Mar 4, 12:42 20
  - I hate to keep beating on this drum, but do you really think your body knows the difference between you drinking water with something in it versus - Reagen Mar 4, 12:51 16
    - from what he tells me... - groiny Mar 4, 12:54 12
      - Uhm, less caffeine and drinking sugared water would be a lot better for you. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:57 5
        
        again, you body stores sugar, and he believes that artificial sweetners are basicaly formaldahyde. - groiny Mar 4, 12:59 4
        
        Artificial sweetners are bad for you, but they aren't lethal. And your body stores fat, not sugar. - TWuG Mar 4, 13:03 1
        
        well, I get why you would think that. - groiny Mar 4, 13:07
        
        ugh, avoid those programs. snake oil. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:00 1
        
        this -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 13:06
      - you could do peppermint herbal tea. it's sweet-ish. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:55 5
        
        worth a shot. - groiny Mar 4, 12:56 4
        
        I like licorice tea too, but for how much I drink, val warns it may cause high blood pressure. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 13:01 2
        
        everything causes something.nm -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 13:01 1
        
        drinking too much plain water causes low potassium. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 13:03
        
        I am drinking some right now. I have some every day. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:57
    - tangent: I knew someone once who refused to drink anything within an hour of eating, claiming that water diluted the stomch acid and impeded digestion -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:54
    - It might be that he's trying to avoid sweeteners. Water without sweeteners is definitely better for you. -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 12:52
    - NO TOUCHING!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:52
  - Sam's Choice water is the way to go. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:49 2
    - there is aspartame in it though? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 4, 12:50 1
      - Uh... maybe? - Spawn Mar 4, 12:51
Good work, Venn Diagram Man! -- (link) - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:36 3
- boo-yale! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 13:05
- Heh. I read the non-Yale girls names and heard M.Wahlberg's voice in my head doing the white-trash list from Ted. - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 12:46 1
  - Right? The comments are pretty funny - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:47
Spileberg to make Kubricks never made Napoleon project into a tv series -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 4, 12:31 2
- Saw this before. I wonder how many more secret unfinished Kubrick projects are actually lying around. -- nm - Jovian Mar 4, 12:33 1
  - The Shining II: Ice Zombie Jack Torrance -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 12:36
For anyone who frequents Sam's Club - Living Social deal - $45 for one year membership. (includes $20 GC and $19.84 in in-store food vouchers) -- (link) - kelly Mar 4, 12:30 3
- We are a die-hard Costco family, but might jump on this just to try it out. That's a great deal. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 12:43 2
  - Yeah, we are a Costco family too, but I'm tempted to get this because the one perk of Sam's Club is that they sell Pampers. - kelly Mar 4, 12:44 1

And the award for the most surprising casting decision of the year goes to... -- (link) - Roger More Mar 4, 12:29 7
- Calling Morning Glory a comedy one of the more charitable descriptions I've ever heard about that movie; even being completely wrong. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 4, 13:07
- [deleted] 5
  - yup - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:32 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I didn't know it was possible not to know this - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:36
  - yep, he's worn one for a number of years now. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 12:32 1
    - Yep - since his mid-life crisis in the late 90s. -- nm - Roger More Mar 4, 12:35

LIR: Andie -- here's why I don't patronize IKEA -- trust this meets with your approval - OAE -- aka OAE Mar 4, 12:25 1
- "I don't have one locally" would have been a far less bitchy way to get your point across than saying something about darkening doors. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:34
Today's interview with Mike White makes me really, really not want to watch Enlightened. - Max Mar 4, 12:25 2
- I was going to comment about this earlier. I know nothing about that show, but the promos have never been anything except 100% off-putting to me - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:31
- (Fresh Air interview, obvie) -- nm - Max Mar 4, 12:26
[deleted] 6
- That's another nice thing about Letterpress: it allows bad words, including the worst of the worst. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 12:22 4
  - like "Quvenzhane"? -- nm - TFox Mar 4, 12:23 3
    - my friend joe teaches high school. he has a student whose last name is "Qyteza." he calls her "scrabs." -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:36
    - hrh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 4, 12:24
    - yep -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 12:23
- don't give me those bad words. - loosilu Mar 4, 12:19
Judge to rule that despite Whitey Bulger's claims, his immunity did not grant him a license to kill. -- (link) - Diva Mar 4, 12:15 5
- I love the balls crazy claim that Whitey threw out there. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 12:36
- where are they keeping that guy? -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:24 3
  - Plymouth County Correctional. When he's not in the hospital for chest pains. -- nm - Diva Mar 4, 12:43 2
    - "chest pains" = prison. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 4, 12:45 1
      - I will be so bummed out if he dies before his trial. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:48
I'm disappointed to hear that SimCity pretty much requires co-op play. - TWuG Mar 4, 12:14 14
- i need a demo to be sure my PC can run it first -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 4, 12:18
- I think you can solo it, you'd just have to control all cities in the region instead of just 1 -- nm - SG3 Mar 4, 12:17
- It seems like a fatal flaw to turn what has been a solo-play experience into the opposite. Elder Scrolls Online might get away with it. - Qale Mar 4, 12:16 6
  - I think some games need to be social (WoW), some need to be solo (SimCity, Civ) and some can be either. - TWuG Mar 4, 12:19 5
    - Civ has had social capability since 2. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:23 4
      - Yes, but you've been able to completely ignore that aspect of the game. I'd bet most Civ players avoided it. -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 12:27
      - it's always been a bit of a challenge though. - znufrii Mar 4, 12:26 2
        
        yeah, took forever, and I swear growth and science were much slower. -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 12:33
        
        and at least one version (3 or 4) didn't ship with multi-player, they only added it back in in an expansion pack. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:29
- there is an offline mode. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:14 4
  - There is a way for you to control all cities in a region, but there is no "offline mode" -- nm - Qale Mar 4, 12:17
  - also, it would be nice if we could have an st region. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:15 2
    - oooh, that could be fun... -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 12:22
    - I'm in for that... although I'm not sure how it handles players not being around - SG3 Mar 4, 12:20
Also late post: great time with Krusty and Dawson last night! - colin Mar 4, 12:13 1
- :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 4, 12:15
from B2, and here I was, thinking that I was the only one who color-sorts my M&M's ... - i'm not dead yet ! Mar 4, 12:12
Way LIR: had a minecraft server, shut it down. too many version changes. I'd really like to do a tekkit server though. -- nm - colin Mar 4, 12:11
The Following, New Girl, Raising Hope, and The Mindy Project renewed. - Ender Mar 4, 12:09 19
- The Following is beginning to annoy me the same way 24 did. I was enjoying it, but it may be short-lived for me. -- nm - pmb Mar 4, 12:13 8
  - They are piling up on my DVR. Only have watched the pilot. -- nm - Spawn Mar 4, 12:37 2
    - are we still watching the americans? because I am ready to quit that one. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:43 1
      - I'm not Spawn but I'm still watching the Americans - it moves quickly & the leads know their stuff -- nm - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:46
  - Kevin Bacon's snark throughout the episode last week ensnarled me back in. -- nm - Jovian Mar 4, 12:26 2
    - Yeah that was great. What annoys me is first, people just doing unbelievably stupid things and second the constant dragging out of apparent (spoils) - pmb Mar 4, 12:32
    - he was great -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 12:27
  - I gave up on it. -- nm - CQ Mar 4, 12:15 1
    - same here -- nm - Beaker Mar 4, 12:18
- I've been struggling with Raising Hope. The whistling bothers me, and I'd rather have much more Burt than Jimmy. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 12:12 2
  - they need more Maw Maw & Sabrina has really stepped up in her role - Epiphany Mar 4, 12:33
  - 100% agreed. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:15
- Raising Hope is fantastic; on par with the funniest things on tv. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 4, 12:11 2
  - Mmm-hmm. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 4, 12:17
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Mar 4, 12:14
- raising hope brings the funny more often then new girl or the mindy project - tRuMaN Mar 4, 12:09 3
  - It's apples and oranges. I like RH, but it relies too much on scatological humor -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 12:35
  - rogen last week on mindy was *stellar,* but I haven't loved in a long time before that. -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 12:16
  - 100% this. (and I love New Girl, but Hope is one of the greats) -- nm - Jovian Mar 4, 12:11
*flush* -- nm - con_carne Mar 4, 12:08
Tomb Raider tomorrow./ -- nm - Shaun Mar 4, 12:08
