So does the new version of Firefox fix the 2sec video problem? - Mel Profit Oct 23, 14:02 2
- that's a Flash issue -- nm - Stewie Oct 23, 14:03 1
  - I don't know which problem you all speak of, but Flash Player 10 was released just a couple of weeks ago. - Mop Oct 23, 14:03
The joinrudy2012.com site is a hoax. - Mop Oct 23, 13:57 4
- Actually the isuckballs.com should be redirected to the new hsx - eag Oct 23, 13:58 1
  - As, too, should be johnmccain.com. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 14:00
- Do it! -- nm - mara Oct 23, 13:57 1

So, Deal Or No Deal spoilers from last night... (spoilers) - David Oct 23, 13:55 20
- But (spoiler) - nubby Oct 23, 14:19
- easily the best episode I have seen. They pick the best people to be on that show - he was entertaining -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 14:11
- At that point I might do it solely for the fun factor. - Max Oct 23, 14:00 5

    - I'm surviving without the 416 and I'm not losing it if I didn't have it in the first place. It's like going to Vegas and breaking even. Failure? nah - Max Oct 23, 14:04
  - It just doesn't seem like that much fun to me. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 14:01 2
    - Exactly. -- nm - David Oct 23, 14:01 1
      - Fine then, sit at home and enjoy your tea, ninnies! -- nm - Max Oct 23, 14:02
- I couldn't pass up $416k but that's borderline for me to make the risk. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 14:00
- He turned down 416k? On A. Coin. Flip? - musubi Oct 23, 14:00
- We saw a similar installment on a rerun on CNBC this weekend. A woman came down to, I think, $4,000 and one-million. - Mop Oct 23, 13:59

  - Expected value only works statistically if you have a large sample of tries at the case. In this, you only get one shot. - musubi Oct 23, 14:01 1

- I loved the one where they bring a mother of a dead soldier in Iraq to a talk show. -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 23, 13:52
- Oh, I could have done without that. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 13:52
For the most part, I too, just don't "get" tatoos. The only tatoo I've ever seen and thought, "yeah, I'd do that" was - musubi Oct 23, 13:45 15
- My buddy is a tattoo artist so I would get mine done for free...I just can't think of anything I would actually want - J Oct 23, 14:01
- for me, I'd be hard pressed to find a symbol that fits well enough to be inked onto my skin.. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 13:51 3
  - For me it's more that the things I cared enough about to get a tattoo of 10-15 years ago (in my youth) I couldn't give a rat's ass about now. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:53 1
    - yay coverup tattoos! -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:54
  - that, and the whole passing out thing. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 13:52
- I love my tattoo. I want another but don't have the money. -- nm - amylicious Oct 23, 13:50
- Without them, how would we know the Chosen One? Or recognize yakuza at the gym? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 23, 13:48
- you really gotta make a decision and decide you're okay with something that permanent.. - colin Oct 23, 13:48 5
  - I always knew I'd work in a professional environment so I've always been hyperaware of visible tattoos. - pixie loves mandy lane Oct 23, 13:49 4
    - [deleted] 1
      - This'd be a better shiv if you said her hoo-hoo. - musubi Oct 23, 14:04
    - yeah, the gf could still work in a professional environment, but currently had enough piercings to disqualify her from that.. - colin Oct 23, 13:53
    - sorry about my nick, pixie. I'd forgotten. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 23, 13:52
- I have 2 from my early 20's, and 1 I got with my wife (we have matching tattoos). -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 13:47 1
  - is the matching one the sun on your neck? -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:48
William Shatner looks like a bit of a jerk here... (link) - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:43 3

- Yeah. Looks like. -- nm - Callisto Oct 23, 13:44
- totally. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:44
I just realized that "Jingle All the Way" has become a holiday staple. It might be my most embarassing guilty pleasure. -- nm - amylicious Oct 23, 13:38
Wonder Woman day is this sunday, and the WW museum has a huge auction online with lottsa art & stuff. check it out -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 23, 13:36 6

    - Army of Darkness/Xena which issue? -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:57 1
      - 3 (sorry). -- nm - David Oct 23, 13:59
  - Hey, I know her. I listen to that radio station rarely. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 13:42

- Does a Mrs. Cake live there? That would explain everything... -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 13:41
- if there is a car parked within about 10' of a set of mailboxes, the carrier can skip them :(( -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 13:38 1
  - My dad is a letter carrier, and got mugged not too long ago. I know it sounds silly, but the neighborhood isn't less dangerous in a pith helmet. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 23, 13:41
- Sounds like a job for Kevin Costner -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 13:37
Last chance...Yahoo fantasy hoops '08-'09 - krusty Oct 23, 13:30 2
- I'm so gonna lose... -- nm - Manhung and Jammed Oct 23, 13:41 1
  - I've done no research at all. I'm about to start looking at some mock drafts and some cheat sheets. -- nm - krusty Oct 23, 13:43
you totally care: I'm wearing super high heels for the first time today since january. - pixie loves mandy lane Oct 23, 13:30 2
- had it been hurting some all summer or did you only notice when you attempted the heels? -- nm - Max Oct 23, 13:31 1
  - it's just the heels. I've worn 2.5" and 3" ones before today with minimal discomfort, but 4" is way too much. -- nm - pixie loves mandy lane Oct 23, 13:34
Looks like someone is a bit less than confident of McCain's chances to win -- (link) - Attending Nurse Oct 23, 13:28 28
- [deleted] 1
  - Why so serious? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 13:31
- The Republicans need a young guy next cycle. -- nm - David Oct 23, 13:29 25
  - You mean someone who's seventy? -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 13:44 2
    - Mike Crapo at 61 may be looking pretty good by then. -- nm - David Oct 23, 13:47 1
      - There's just no way I could be ever bring myself to say "I'm voting for Crapo." - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:49
  - that young nephew of W in Florida. I'm telling you he could be a player in 10 years if he goes into politics. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:32 10
    - Billy Bush? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 14:02
    - He could....but not for a while. Dubya's tarnished the Bush name enough that Jeb won't even be viable till 2016 at least. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:37 3
      - true. But I'm talking about Jeb's son. but you make a good point. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:41 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Prescott's got 20 years to make a path...at least. by then, Dubya stank might be off the office. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:42
    - oh yeah. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:33
    - [deleted] 3
      - See! -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:36 2
        
        you know who I think really got screwed? Jeb. Brother W ruined his chances. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:37 1
        
        Jeb probably shouldn't given him Florida then. - musubi Oct 23, 13:54

  - Pawlenty, Jindal, Romney would be your top 3 imo. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:31 3
    - Re Jindal, I think the collective Republican head would explode if asked to support an ethnic minority, even Indian. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 23, 13:43 2
      - I actually don't think that's as much an issue as the whole exorcism thing. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 13:44 1
        
        and if anything, if Obama prevails they'll be even more likely to want to show how progressive they are as a party by nominating a minority of their - znufrii wants pie Oct 23, 13:48
  - How old is Palin? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:30 5
    - 44. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:35 4
      - no way Romney and Huckabee make room for her in the future. She's bound for the Senate or Entertainment Tv. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:37 3
        
        My sarcasm detector must be broken. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 23, 13:47
        
        well, she is a broadcasting major. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:38 1
        
        Maybe we can use her in the army then. Seems like a feisty hockey mom. -- nm - General Broadcasting Oct 23, 13:43
dammit, missed the BOC. stupid "work." -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 13:26 7
- OK... I'll ask... what is "BOC"? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:30 6
  - for the uninitiated: -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 23, 13:37

"...the dumbest thing I have heard of on ST." It's a young board, but no less non-sensical. -- (link) - Mop Oct 23, 13:23 [Backboard] 1
- I agree... that IS the dumbest thing ever on ST. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:28

Damn, I wish I had the nerve to day-trade with reall money. One minute the Dow's in the tank, next refresh it's up $172 on the day :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 23, 13:19 1
- Day trading hurts your eyes worse than orange HSX. -- nm - Loyola Oct 23, 13:22
anyone got any Honey Nut up in here yo? -- nm - Omar Oct 23, 13:18 11
- Don't sign K-Rod, Omar! Use the money to get a solid corner OF! (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 13:20 10
  - I'm dying to see which idiot overpays for a guy who dreams of being Rivera-like. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:22 9
    - He has the all-time saves record. That's not just by luck. - Joe Morgan Oct 23, 13:23 8
      - I guarantee if you gave Rivera, Nathan, Papelbon, Eck or Gagne at his peak 65 save chances, they'd have 60+ easily. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:26 7
        
        That's practically a given. I'd wager that Armando Bentiez would probably get 60 saves with 65 chances. - musubi Oct 23, 13:31 6

        To be fair, through like 2003, he was the career leader in save %. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:32 2
        
        Don't get me wrong, I'm the first (and probably only) Met fan to defend Benitez, but he does have a rep. - musubi Oct 23, 13:34 1
        
        Hell yeah, O's fan remember, but his meltdowns came in the post-season mostly. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:36
I saw season five before I saw the rest. I think my overall favorite story though is Bubbles. -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 13:18 4
- well now you have to rewatch Season 5 now that you've got the rest of The Wire under your belt....funny moment for me.... - Remlik Oct 23, 13:20 2
  - I just started 4, but I think I will rewatch 5 after this. Also, I think I've got a little crush on Kima -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 13:22 1
    - Kima was awesome, I'd have her ride shotgun in the squad car anytime. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 13:26

Dark Knight was just OK. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:17 4
- "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid was OK. Take away Paul Newman's performance - CT Oct 23, 13:22 1
  - It's a relatively common criticism to say something like "(Whatever factor) made an otherwise (something bad) movie enjoyable." - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:27
- Sorry, the bar has been set, once again, by a stupid tattoo. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:21 1
  - Dark Knight sucked. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 13:22
I'm so with Andie. Sharpie. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:16 22
- eh, it's gonna be $50 for the thing. tattoo artist likes the animation too and is doing it for cheap. - colin Oct 23, 13:19 19
  - have you asked Guy what happens when you buy tattoos cheap? -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:25 1
    - no no, it's not like that. we both know the guy.. he's a good artist, just giving a "friends" discount. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:30
  - i have no issues with mohawks, or tattoos, or piercings, but paying for a tattoo (aka a permanent thing) that you don't WANT permanently just strikes - Danger Girl Oct 23, 13:20 16
    - [deleted] 1
      - of course not, you're a big time lawyer. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:29
    - I tend to think of this like Henna - its not permanent either - Epiphany Oct 23, 13:27
    - seems silly to me too. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:24
    - Agreed, but I'd amend "silly" to "stupid". - musubi Oct 23, 13:21 5
      - Uh, what I said. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 13:24 4
        
        That's the silliest thing I've read in response to a post of mine on this board, ever! (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 13:26 3
        
        "This board" meaning B1? -- nm - mara Oct 23, 13:41 2
        
        Why are you questioning me? - musubi Oct 23, 13:47 1
        
        She can't even open a beer right. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:53
    - no, she wants it, but it's probably more of a joke tattoo than she'd normally get just because it'll eventually be grown over with hair. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:21 5
      - Who's the joke on? {nm} - Banzai! Oct 23, 13:25 4
        
        it's a visual joke.. something fun instead of a more serious art piece. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:29 2
        
        you head is obviously the best place for that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 13:30 1
        
        it is if your hair can grow over it if you choose. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:31
        
        Her. (nm) - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:26
- Indeed. Besides a scalp tatoo's gotta hurt like the dickens. (nm) - musubi Oct 23, 13:19

    - i haven't known anybody with a neck tattoo that made it past 40 years old.. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:22 3
      - once the porn and rap stars started doing it you see it occasionally around the fresh faced, young suburbanites. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 23, 13:25
      - there's a cockneck joke here but I just can't find it. -- nm - Diva Oct 23, 13:23 1
        
        More likely, the cockneck tat is exactly why Guy won't make 40. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:27
- heh. yeah, my greek text is gonna look funky. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 13:16
