The Americans this week was like whoa, then like Whoa, then like WHOA. Great show (I prefer it to Homeland so far) - Beaker Apr 8, 06:48 8

- I have over 25 black skirts. I need an intervention. (it can wait until fall, though. they go unworn and stored in summer.) -- nm - amanda Apr 8, 06:35 6
  - I was about to say you're fine but 25 is a bit much. I know you love skirts but 25 black ones? Make it 15 and then do buy some new ones. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 06:48 1
    - *go not do* -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 06:48

    - i never buy pants, i hate it (i have a long inseam). skirts i can buy just looking at them on a hanger. i wear a lot of skirts. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 06:53 1
      - My main issue with skirts is that I'm a guy. -- nm - volnelk Apr 8, 07:06
    - I have the opposite issue. my legs are normal sized so I can buy skirts and pants (ha ha. like I buy pants) no problem. but my torso is long so I have - amanda Apr 8, 06:40

  - [deleted]
  - I haven't tried downcast yet. my annoyances are all podcast-based. I'm trying to listen to things. - amanda Apr 8, 06:42 1

- I hate it. - Spawn at the doctor Apr 8, 06:35 2
  - I dislike the changes, but honestly, what doesn't it do that you want it to do? I guess I'm asking 'why' do you hate it? -- nm - volnelk Apr 8, 06:39 1
    - I don't use it. Same Apple BS of not playing well with others. -- nm - Spawn at the doctor Apr 8, 07:20

    - I agree with Diamond Joe Quimby. (Again? This crazy country) -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 07:03

Oh, this is a Yahoo fail. Freese is going to come off the DL before today's game - Will Hunting Apr 8, 05:52 6
- That's a league setting. -- nm - spamlet Apr 8, 06:42 3
  - Ugh. I don't recall that ever before so I'd love to know why it's this way. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 06:57
  - So Will's Commissioner is trying to screw him out of points today? That ain't right!!! -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 06:53
  - Must be since I was able to put him in just a few minutes ago. -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 06:51
- Bummer...he went 3-5 with a couple RBI is Memphis yesterday too. -- nm - Jim Apr 8, 05:59 1
  - The good news is he won't be getting any hits vs. the Reds anyway. -- nm - Illuminati Apr 8, 06:10
So, how long until my email is back up and running this morning? - znufrii Apr 8, 05:43 3

  - It's my primary work tool. - znufrii Apr 8, 06:38
without looking, would you guess there are more olive garden or red lobster locations in the US? - amanda Apr 8, 05:38 20
- Red Lobster -- nm - Krusty Apr 8, 06:45
- same here. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 06:38
- I'd say Red Lobster. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 06:17
- Weird. The only Olive Garden I know around me is right next to a Red Lobster. - Inigo Apr 8, 05:41 15
  - They're owned by the same company IIRC -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 06:22 14
    - they are; darden rest group. the "which has more" was a question at trivia last week. I was like, "obvs OG" - amanda Apr 8, 06:24 9
      - So which has more? - JaxSean Apr 8, 06:43 6
        
        This was my thinking as well. OG started in FL where RL is more of an entire east coast thing. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:44
        
        that's what trevor said: "I figured RL because of all of the land locked fly-overs wanting sea bugs." - amanda Apr 8, 06:44 4
        
        Here's your map of Red Lobster locations -- (link) - TWuG Apr 8, 06:48 3
        
        And your Olive Garden map -- (link) - TWuG Apr 8, 06:50 2
        
        I'm not sure these are 100% comprehensive, but they look pretty good. -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 06:51 1
        
        now I'm hungry -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 06:51
      - I would have guessed RL but not very sure. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:37 1
        
        every single person I just polled here said RL as well. it's the OG by a fair margin. I think maybe eastern PA is where all the OGs are, because there - amanda Apr 8, 06:43
    - They are. Darden Restaurants, along with Longhorn Steakhouse and a few others -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:23 3
      - Mmmmm....Bonefish Grille. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 06:44
      - A Longhorn Steakhouse is right next to the other two. It all makes sense now... -- nm - Inigo Apr 8, 06:36 1
        
        The very first Longhorn was built here in Atlanta, bought by Darden and converted into a chain. - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:40
- I would guess OG -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 05:40

- I'm seeing some UK friends celebrating on Facebook. Was she that hated there? -- nm - Inigo Apr 8, 05:31 4
  - yup -- nm - charlie Apr 8, 07:18
  - Sure, in some quarters. Remember, she broke trade unions, privatised a bunch of companies, and brought in a poll tax - Roger More Apr 8, 06:41
  - [deleted]
  - Loved by some, hated by everyone else. - LMS Apr 8, 05:50

- Side note: isn't "how appropriate, you fight like a cow" from Monkey Island? nm - ralph wiggum Apr 7, 23:10 1
  - A lot are from films/shows. One is from Toy Story of all things. -- nm - Inigo Apr 8, 05:34
