Was it noted here that a contest at -- nm - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 07:21 1
- Argh. Contestant on French survivor died this weekend? Deadline has the story. - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 07:22
Are you having loading/buffering issues with YouTube lately? I was and this fixed it for me. -- (link) - Krusty Mar 25, 07:17 3
- I am seeing more ads I am forced to watch instead of clicking out of after 5sec. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:22 2
  - I never see ads. Not one. Do you use an ad blocker? - Krusty Mar 25, 07:25 1
    - Hmmm...like I am not using one. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:26
I'm in a five hour meeting during which no snacks or coffee will be provided. Ghastly. -- nm - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 07:10 7
- what is a five houer meeting supposed to accomplish? - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 25, 07:19 1
  - It's suitable when you want to delay work being done, but acting as though you're working on it. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:22
- good god. -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 07:14
- start drawing cartoon steaks and chicken wings on the arm of the person next to you. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:13 2
  - Charlie is sitting next to me. I bet he'd go for this. -- nm - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 07:15 1
    - never look him in the eyes. just stare at the pictures. - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:24
- that's criminal. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 07:12
Yeah, so my 2013 Topps Heritage break was a complete bust. I'm actually writing my first negative box review. - Jim Mar 25, 07:05 12
- but, are you really supposed to get something outstanding in every box? - groiny Mar 25, 07:12 3
  - Not at all. Like TFox said below...the box was boring as hell. There was the one hit. One Chrome and one Parallel. Otherwise it was all base - Jim Mar 25, 07:23 2
    - see, that is really a big part of the problem. - groiny Mar 25, 07:26
    - Yeah, the 2011 Heritage box I got was similar. - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:25
- Haven't bought a pack of baseball or hockey cards in 15+ years. The market just became too flooded with too many companies putting out too many lines - Mr. Havens Mar 25, 07:10 6
  - There are really only 3 main companies in trading cards anymore. Topps, Upper Deck and Panini. - Jim Mar 25, 07:26
  - Topps is contemporary designs, Topps Heritage is them doing a set in the style of something vintage. I think this year is the 1964 style. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:17 4
    - It's an uglier retro card than the ones they've mimicked in the past. -- nm - TFox Mar 25, 07:22 3
      - That's another thing...the 1964 design sucked in 1964. It really sucks now. - Jim Mar 25, 07:24 1
        
        For comparison, when Topps did those Cracker Jack sets? Those were boss as hell. - TFox Mar 25, 07:28
      - Yeah, the 64's are an ugly set. 2 years ago, they did my favorite, the 62 set. The wood-panel design. - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:23
- I bought one pack last week, and it was boring as all get out. - TFox Mar 25, 07:09
I don't care if the "throat" on the 2014 Mustang isn't real, I am getting a car like that as soon as I move back to LA - Mr. Havens Mar 25, 07:00 7
- Ladies love Hyundais too, right? Right?? nm - diggie zane Mar 25, 07:20
- 600 horses of power, baby, she flies like the wicked witch of the West. I'm gonna hafta move to Nevada. -- nm - Meldrick Lewis Mar 25, 07:16
- can probably get a classic with a real engine for less than a new one. - colin Mar 25, 07:03 4
  - I miss my 72 Mach 1 Fastback and would love to own a 65 convertible, but I really liked the new one quite a bit, as did Mrs. Havens - Mr. Havens Mar 25, 07:05 3
    - Is that a function of "mustang convertible" or just "convertible"? -- nm - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 07:09 1
      - A bit of both. I know she wants to get a convertible, which is why I was happy for the upgrade... - Mr. Havens Mar 25, 07:12
    - related: my wife's uncle runs a company that makes aftermarket parts to make your new mustang look like an old one. - colin Mar 25, 07:07
I'm going to randomly catch a groundhog, throw it in a freezer for 6 weeks, then grill that sumbitch till it's charbroiled - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:00 1
- memo: new show idea...survivor crossed with top chef (catch phrase: its not *if* you make it, its *how* you make it) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 12:34
TAR last night....what was the purpose of - prayformojo Mar 25, 06:53 1
- I thought I caught in the episode they said something about it putting them to sleep? - oblique Mar 25, 07:16
The days of cash registeres may be coming to an end. Tablets and smartphones being tested as retail POS systems.....(link) - Walt_Disney Mar 25, 06:51

For $15, should i get Matchbox 20 and Goo Goo Doll tickets? - Andie Mar 25, 06:31 15
- not any worse than a cover charge for a top disco club -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 12:36
- yes! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:23
- sure, why not? it's fun.. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 07:08
- I'd see the 20 for that and sing along to every song and love myself for it -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 06:55 2
  - The 20?? Dude, buy a sword and fall on it. nm - Dignan Mar 25, 06:56 1
    - I bet your hard to get over. I bet the room just won't shine. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:01
- In a word, no. In several words, seriously, don't do that. nm - Dignan Mar 25, 06:53 1
  - i did it. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 06:56
- I would do it. Matchbox 20 is cheesy great. -- nm - Pope Amanda Mar 25, 06:49 4
  - done - lawn seats, june night, have a beer, how bad can it be? - Andie Mar 25, 06:56 3
    - I believe my friend Dignan is going to tell you. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 25, 06:59 2
      - Why won't anyone listen to me? nm - diggie zane Mar 25, 07:00 1
        
        ......Is this a trick question? nm - ralph wiggum Mar 25, 07:11
- That's my thought. I spend $15 on far less enjoyable things without thinking about it :) -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 06:46
- If I had even a passing interest in seeing either, I probably would. - TFox Mar 25, 06:44
I totally brought this on myself and expect no sympathy but have to say it: Moving is the worst. - ty97 Mar 25, 06:31 8
- I am demanding professional movers/packers when we move in a few years. - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:25
- do you have a lot of stuff, or is it just moving locations? i love moving.. just not moving my stuff. -- nm - colin Mar 25, 07:04
- I like moving. New place, chance to get rid of things and then get more things. - Krusty Mar 25, 06:50
- i actually don't hate moving. i love how it makes you refocus what you want/have/like. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 06:31 4
  - I do find that useful, but also really, really hard right now. - ty97 Mar 25, 06:33 3
    - yeah, that doesn't really sound like *fun*. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 06:33 2
      - At this point, I have donated enough stuff to have a branch of Goodwill named after me! -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 06:34 1
        
        You know who has more stuff than you? The Amazon Top 50 Reviewer in that thermostat link. *50*. -- nm - con_carne Mar 25, 07:21

- This is why I don't dance. I know I'd look like that. -- nm - Inigo Mar 25, 06:26 1
  - Half the fun of playing Just Dance is knowing you look like an idiot. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 25, 06:46

ST Poll: If someone here won the big lottery and offered to give you money, how much would you actually ask for? - oblique Mar 25, 06:10 30
- $ 312,500 -- nm - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:27
- all of it. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:17
- whatever they felt like.. I don't *need* money, but it's always nice to get some. how much until you pay taxes as a gift? -- nm - colin Mar 25, 07:05 2
  - 13,000 is tax free - anything above that is subject to a gift tax (rate is 40%).. You would be better off creating a corporation and hiring everyone - decline Mar 25, 07:07 1
    - (actually, $14,000 for 2013) -- nm - decline Mar 25, 07:15
- I've thought that if I ever won the lottery, I'd give each of my best friends $250k, so I guess my answer would be $250k -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 25, 07:03
- Just enough to fix my teeth and pay off any debts, so like 10K-20k. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 06:47
- I think it depends on how much they won. I'd be overly appreciative of anything anyone gave to me. - JaxSean Mar 25, 06:34
- [deleted]
- Whatever they deemed fit for me. So, 25 bucks or a case of Coors Light? -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 06:17 2
  - I'd give you more than that. - ty97 Mar 25, 06:32 1
    - aww, man, you're awesome -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 06:37
- "Whatever you're willing to give." - Will Hunting Mar 25, 06:16 1

- "As much as would please you." -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 06:14
- *ask*? i couldn't ask. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 06:12 1
  - Too bad you answered this poll already. - con_carne Mar 25, 06:31
- i wouldnt. or i would try not to. - tRuMaN Mar 25, 06:12 12
  - Maybe you missed the "and offered" in my original question -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 06:13 11
    - right, but if they said 'how much do you want?', i wouldn't answer. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 06:18 4
      - Similar answer. I wouldn't know how to answer that question. - ty97 Mar 25, 06:28 1
        
        If I say $20k, am I being too greedy, is $10k too much? I know, I'll say $1k .... - Will Hunting Mar 25, 06:35
      - "all of it" heh -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 06:19 1

        I set up alarm for 4:50 instead of 5:50 by accident. I was annoyed, and then excited because I could go back to sleep. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 06:29
        
        also, i didnt win the lotter, so quit trying to smooze me up. - tRuMaN Mar 25, 06:21 2
        
        Did I tell you that you were great in Halo on Friday? :) -- nm - oblique Mar 25, 06:23 1
        
        to be honest, i was mediocre in halo over the weekend. - tRuMaN Mar 25, 06:34
