Started Season Four of The Wire last night. I should be identifying with Carcetti, but McNulty is my dude. - crash davis Oct 23, 13:11 4
- I love McNulty, but I'll always thank The Wire for giving me Omar. n.m. - glory Oct 23, 13:15 1
  - Word. Such a great character. -- nm - krusty Oct 23, 13:16

LYC: helped the gf shave a mohawk yesterday, today she's getting the sides of her head tattooed... - colin Oct 23, 13:08 25
- so, she's spending money on something no-one will see very very soon? - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:15 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:22
- She's getting the tattoos then letting the hair grow back? What will the tats be? -- nm - TWuG Oct 23, 13:10 3
  - ever seen don hertzfeld? she's getting the fuzzy guy chasing a robot on one side, and an old school shark eating one on the other. see linky .. -- (link) - colin Oct 23, 13:13 1
    - again i say "use a sharpie." -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:16
  - "If you can read this, you have cut too short" -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:11
- "the tattooes are kinda silly, so that will be an incentive to not keeping them for long" - Spawn Oct 23, 13:10
- um, you know tats are permanent right? -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:09 17
  - The Mohawk. She'll grow her hair back and cover the new tats. -- nm - TWuG Oct 23, 13:11 5
    - The hair will change its color! (NM) - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:11
    - oh. wouldn't that show anyway on some people? -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:11 3
      - nah, her hair is dark and thick. it won't show unless you part the hair and look for it. - colin Oct 23, 13:14 2
        
        when she's an old lady it will be white an dprobably thinner. just sayin. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:14 1
        
        well, seeing how she has tattoos all over her body, i doubt seeing some line work through her hair will really matter... -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:15
  - Hair grows back, no more tattoos basically. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:10 10
    - I'm sorry, but this may be the dumbest thing I have heard of on ST. - Spawn Oct 23, 13:12 8
      - why? so i phrased it a little oddly... most got the gist. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:15
      - Not since 9-11 have the American people... -- nm - amylicious Oct 23, 13:14
      - Really? Have you not been reading it for long? - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:13 1
        
        ST? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:14
      - that's a bold statement sir. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 13:13 3
        
        Especially considering I said "Dark Knight was just OK" on TT multiple times. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:14 2
        
        SLicker Talk. - Spawn Oct 23, 13:15 1
        
        "maybe even on TT" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:15
    - Not if the hair is thin or light-colored -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 13:11
Crapload of people for Obama in Indy. -- (link) - amylicious Oct 23, 13:08
TT has gone rogue. Welcome! -- nm - Edgar Friendly Oct 23, 13:08
Obama suspending campaign to visit sick grandmother?! Do we want an erratic man like that running the country? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 13:06 4
- Really. I mean, at least McCain had a good reason for doing it. - Spawn Oct 23, 13:09
- It's no-win, too. Exactly like McCain's suspension! (Except I bet he won't do Couric before leaving to see his grandma) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 13:08
- I mean seriously, next he will be donating unused campaign shirts to the homeless. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 13:08
- Love the smell of sarcasm in the afternoon. -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 13:07
WTF? I just saw the Far Cry 2 trailer. It's GTA: Africa. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 13:02 2
- My roommate is playing it as we speak - XChef Oct 23, 13:06

- I went to click over to the Calendar and was confused for a moment. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 12:56 1
  - I miss clicking to see what's happening on the Movie Board every once in a while.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:03
- Its a sad statement really - eag Oct 23, 12:56 8
  - i won't be surprised if ST, and the friendships, outlive HSX altogether. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 12:57 7
    - Oh I think we already have friendships that go beyond HSX - eag Oct 23, 12:59 6
      - oh, i know, but i'm saying, the community involvement may outlive HSX - i could see HSX fading in the future. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:00 4
        
        As is... the VERY near future. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:01 3
        
        As is, the near past! (NM) - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:04 2
        
        Hey, if they fix the game I'll still play it. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:05 1
        
        Me too, maybe. But, "as is", *shrugs* (NM) - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:08

  - omfg, I am so concerned about the quantity of insects being eaten by my young cat - Epiphany Oct 23, 12:59 11
    - I read that as 'quality of insects' and thought damn, girl what you got against ladybugs? -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 13:03 1
      - she'd better not kill any lady bugs - and the geckos are off limits as well. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 13:14
    - enh, probably better for her than cat food. (i hate to catch mine at it, but i love knowing that no bugs can live in my house.) -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:02 3
      - I hear ya - she shall not suffer a moth to live - Epiphany Oct 23, 13:11 2
        
        I think watching a cat chase a moth is hysterical. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:14 1
        
        That always cracks me up. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 13:18
    - why? isn't it just protein? -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:00 4
      - it just seems wrong - I think it is kitty culture shock for me - Epiphany Oct 23, 13:12 1
        
        heh, be grateful it's not chipmunks. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:15
      - There's a boyfriend joke in there somewhere... -- nm - TWuG Oct 23, 13:08 1
        
        oh no you dint. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:12
  - There was a Mel Profit who swallowed a fly. I don't know why he swallowed that fly. Perhaps he'll die. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 23, 12:56

Hmm...I've never seen this before. I made hard boiled eggs and one floated to the top after I covered the cooked eggs with cold water. Why?... - glory Oct 23, 12:47 13
- Egg update (because you're all dying to know, right??): It had a huge air pocket on its side when peeled. - glory Oct 23, 13:12 1
  - food poisoning bacteria have no odor! -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:16
- is it green? do you have ham to go with it? -- nm - Dr. Seuss Oct 23, 12:55
- Real answer... - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:52 2
  - *sniffle* The mystery is gone!! (thanks!) - glory Oct 23, 12:54
  - so I was sorta kinda right. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 12:54
- it was probably older and had more air in it. air expanded at high temp. - loosilu Oct 23, 12:49 2
  - Yeah, it was after it finished cooking and I'd covered it with cold water. - glory Oct 23, 12:51
  - wait, cold water? I have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 12:49
- It's an alien egg - that's the only way to spot them!!! - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:49 3
  - Or a witch egg. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 12:50 1
    - or a dragon egg. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 12:54
  - Ooh...I'm going straight to e-bay!! n.m. - glory Oct 23, 12:49
ST Poll: I'm writing a blog post about some movies I've seen, and want to link the titles to pages about the movie. What site should I use? - con_carne Oct 23, 12:47 6
- eh, link to IMDB. you could also make the link a picture of the movie poster, which is kind of a nice touch. -- (link) - colin Oct 23, 12:52 1
  - Wow, thanks for the link -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 13:03
- The movie's "official" site? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:49
- I always use IMDb, but if they're recent, you could use Metacritic -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:48 1
  - They're mostly not recent. 70s, 80s... -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 12:50
- I guess you could see if they have entries in Wikipedia, but really, IMDB is the standard. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 12:48
aww, someone called me an idiot on the new tt. it's getting so homey there, isn't it? -- nm - b! Oct 23, 12:47 5

- This cements it...Murphy is one of the good guys. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 12:48
- The wiser choice would have been to cut ties to his 2008 campaign advisers. - BB Oct 23, 12:47

Who thought this was a good line of attack? "The real outrage is Barack Obama taking a 767 to visit his grandmother." -- (link) - Reagen Oct 23, 12:43 15
- Who are all these "strategist" and "spokesperson" that go on TV all the time? It seems like it's a different (insane) person all the time -- nm - Guigue Oct 23, 12:56
- Wouldn't want to take much smaller of a jet, if you want to make it there. -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 12:52 3
  - and it's not like he can just hop on a commercial airliner either, with his security detail and entourage. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 12:52 2
    - I'd respect any politician more if they did. -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 12:58 1
      - some do, but I would bet obama would have to buy out the entire jet, for security reasons. - tRuMaN Oct 23, 13:01
- They are providing great material, I'll give them that. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 12:49
- Jesus tap-dancing Christ - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 12:49
- Isn't she seriously ill and close to dying? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:47 6

    - I approve this conspiracy theory. -- nm - G. Gordon Liddo Oct 23, 12:59
  - He should have driven a Prius to Hawaii to save energy. -- nm - amylicious Oct 23, 12:49
  - yes. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 12:49 2
    - I think he cancelled an appearance here today because she took a turn for the worse this week. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 12:50 1
      - I agree. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 12:55
- is that his campaign jet? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 12:46

- Why the heck not? :-) -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 12:49
Eve-Online, anyone play it other than me? -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 12:42 12
- It's too much PvP for me.. And it's too costly at that.. (NM) - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:02
- I used to. My account is inactive; I got to a point where I could mine fairly efficiently, but got bored with it -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:46 9
  - Yeah, mining in Eve kills accounts - XChef Oct 23, 12:50 8
    - I don't like the missions and the PvP stuff, because I don't like getting blow'd up -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:51 7
      - and you play HSX? -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 12:56 6
        
        Once or twice a week, until the upgrade. Occassionally I'd play openers. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:58 5
        
        (Mostly I play Halo 3 and gears of war lately) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 12:59 4
        
        It is Eve-online or Warhammer for me -- nm - XChef Oct 23, 13:03 3
        
        How are you liking Warhammer? - Marlowe Oct 23, 13:07 2
        
        If you like RVR and quests - XChef Oct 23, 13:13 1
