Carlos Mencia telling Phoenix how unfunny JP's current thing is, is the definition of irony. - TWuG Feb 13, 12:50 2
- The only guy more un-funny than Mencia is George Lopez -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:52 1
  - I caught Lopez's show a couple of weeks ago (late night, couldn't sleep) and all I could think was, "when did he get so angry?" -- nm - Trish Feb 13, 12:54
Also, my back hurts. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 13, 12:49
Watched Dushku's segment from last nights Conan. So hawt. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 13, 12:49 1

  - This is getting to be a thing. - ty97 Feb 13, 12:47
- so the cream is helping? -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:45 1
  - it tingles. -- nm - lileve Feb 13, 12:46
*unimportant whine* (feel free to disregard) - kelly Feb 13, 12:44 32
- call an ambulance have them start an IV and pump some D50 in you to raise your sugar, say thanks and refuse transport. - dogbert183 Feb 13, 12:49 5
  - if she wants to raise her sugar, how about a small iced coffee from McDonalds? -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:51 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - No, we're not going out for V Day (I didn't wan to) - we're going out tonight. -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 12:55
      - no they're going to a good place. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:53
  - You always give the best advice. Thanks! -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 12:51
- this reminds me of something a friend was telling me about this past weekend - kare Feb 13, 12:48 9
  - that sounds really unhealthy. where's the protein? -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:52 4
    - the only people with protein deficency in the world are the ones with food deficiency overall -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 12:54 1
      - not true. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:54
    - he seems very healthy and incredibly fit. he has enough energy to ride his bike several miles a day. so i guess he's onto something. - kare Feb 13, 12:53 1
      - I dunno, i thnink a nutritionist would have a fit. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:54
  - that kind of fat free vegan diet is hard to follow, I did it for 9 months -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 12:50
  - Since age 11? So he's insulin-dependent? - kelly Feb 13, 12:49 1
    - right. yeah, he may never be able to fully be off insulin. but it's pretty amazing that he's down 90% just by changing his diet so drastically. -- nm - kare Feb 13, 12:51
  - (type 1, btw) -- nm - kare Feb 13, 12:49
- boop-boo-de-ba-doop -- nm - WiiFit Feb 13, 12:47
- how does a small protein snack affect your blood sugar, like a boiled egg or something? -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 12:47 2
  - Doesn't raise all that much, keeps me steady. - kelly Feb 13, 12:48 1
    - [deleted]
- If you eat as little as possible to get your blood sugar up to a safe place you'll be fine. Crab legs/seafood/shellfish aren't as heavy as other food - Diva Feb 13, 12:46 11
  - I don't know - I might want steak instead. I haven't decided yet. -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 12:47 10
    - 6 oz. petite filet. Hmm... -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 12:49 2
      - 6 oz is a nice appetizer -- nm - pigby Feb 13, 12:50 1
        
        This way she can still have sides if she wants. Okay - 8 oz. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 12:51
    - Eat all you want, i'll be over at the horsey parlor. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 12:49 6
      - exactly. Tonight is the night to splurge. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:50
      - :( - kelly Feb 13, 12:50 4
        
        Nah....i just looked at the menu. All you can crab legs.......oh lord. - Will Hunting Feb 13, 12:51 3
        
        with me, or the crab legs? :p -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 12:52 2
        
        currently you, he hasn't seen the crablegs yet ;P -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 13, 12:54
        
        The menu. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 12:53

    - a $2 bill -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:54
  - just over. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 12:52
- 75 Trillion then, 35t now (the hedges funds created and lost a LOT) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 12:47
- if it's sitting in my wallet, it's not really cirulating, right? -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 13, 12:44
- how do they know how much has left the country? -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:44 1
  - Okay wow, I suck at Quizzes. It's US currency in circulation, not currency in circulation in the US. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:45
- 25 trillion -- nm - CQ Feb 13, 12:43
- actual cash paper money and metal coins? Or 'money' as noted on books? BIG difference -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 12:43
- right now, many people's answer would be "not enough" -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:43 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - *checks pockets* ... not enough. -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:45
- in terms of physical currency? - znufrii Feb 13, 12:43 8
  - US coins and paper currency in the hands of the public -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:43 7
    - [deleted] 4
      - I'll post my source, not sure what the answer to that is. - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:47 3
        
        So they are talking about US paper cash currency tucked away in socks and mattresses around the world - zeitgeist Feb 13, 12:49 1
        
        *shrug* -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:50
        
        [deleted]
    - and sitting in bank vaults? -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:44 1
      - Pretty sure that would be classified as in circulation since it could be withdrawn, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:45
- one dollar -- nm - decline Feb 13, 12:42
- (as of December 2007) -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:42 2
  - currently as of Dec. 2007? makes sense -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:43 1
    - Had to verify my source, I apologize. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:44
- enough that Bungie could expand server capacity -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 12:42
- $650 billion. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 13, 12:42

  - [deleted]

yeah, having your hair long enough to where it gets into your eyes is pretty effin annoying -- nm - CQ Feb 13, 12:39 10
- i don't care. i still want Jon Hamm's hair -- nm - pigby Feb 13, 12:41 3
  - preach on Brother Pixie. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:42 2
    - where's the gene therapy for *that*, science?! -- nm - pigby Feb 13, 12:45 1
      - that would stimulate the economy a ton if they ever fixed that. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:49
- mine's long enough to get caught in purse and bag straps, and long enough to where my head gets immobilized when my bf puts his arm around me - kare Feb 13, 12:41
- I told you to ponytail the top of that mass of curls. You'd look like a soccer player then too. - Diva Feb 13, 12:41 1
  - :) -- nm - CQ Feb 13, 12:41
- get a floby. -- nm - lileve Feb 13, 12:40 1
  - I got a bunch of beanies that I wear constantly -- nm - CQ Feb 13, 12:41
- You really should shave your back more often -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 13, 12:40

- Tonight, probably take a nap while Crash plays Halo, then make him play Rock Band with me. Melting Pot tomorrow night, - Trish Feb 13, 12:43 2
  - you need to play on Crash's team tonight. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:44
  - mmm, melting pot! -- nm - kare Feb 13, 12:43
- hanging out at the circle-k -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 13, 12:41 2
  - warning: strange things are afoot.... -- nm - JaxSean Feb 13, 12:43
  - ok, this made me laugh. -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 12:42

- ~ i get lost. in your b2 ~ -- nm - Debbie Gibson Feb 13, 12:39
Shaun: Final Fantasy 12 was pretty epic. I'm playing it AGAIN trying to do as close to 100% as possible. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 12:37 13
- But the PS2 is not in the same league of the 360 and the PS3. You've seen the trailer I'm guessing? - Shaun Feb 13, 12:39 12
  - Also, the trailer might not be in game graphics. Could be pre-rendered. -- nm - lileve Feb 13, 12:43 4
    - They showed gameplay scenes. -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:43 3
      - Yah it did, but it seemed cut up a bit too. Hard to really tell what was going on there. Looked like you had multiple limit break type stuff. Wild. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 12:44 2
        
        Also looks like they advanced the gambit system too. *drools* -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:45 1
        
        It's a good move keeping the system. It could be as advanced or novice as you wanted. - Qale Feb 13, 12:50
  - I have seen the trailer. Was a bit kentic for my tastes, but am still interested. I can't believe it's still likely well over a year away. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 12:42 4
    - I'd rather have it late and perfect though. -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:43 3
      - I know I'm repeating myself, but I adore 12 so much. Almost enough to try and mod my PS2 for the Japanese only International Zodiac Job System one. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 12:46 2
        
        I got as far as the Great Crystal. Didn't finish it :( -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:47 1
        
        Granted: The Great Crystal was a cheap excuse to sell play guides. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 12:51
  - But that was a DVD. How many DVD's can a BR disc hold? -- nm - lileve Feb 13, 12:41 1
    - ~5.88 -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:43
Winkler says that Arrested Development the movie will happen. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 12:36 1

        Unpossible! Barney Frank is always funny! -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 12:42 2
        
        no no no, barney fife is always funny. barney frank is not funny -- nm - dogbert183 Feb 13, 12:47
        
        You're entering Gallagher territory. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 12:46

    - Of course it does, Doogie Anderson Cooper. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 12:44
LIR: No way I'm pouring anything *in* my nose. Certain openings on my body are one way streets. I don't care if there's a fire. -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 13, 12:34 10
- you've never breathed out through your nose? -- nm - zork Feb 13, 12:41
- it's not even as close to being as bad as you think. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:35 8
  - Yeah, you kinda tilt sideways, at least that's the way I do it. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 13, 12:37 1
    - right, and you should face down, looking at the sink. water should not go back. This website is good. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 13, 12:42
  - What happens if you *do* tilt your head back? *Can* you flush your sinuses? -- nm - Verminhawke Feb 13, 12:36 3
    - ok, I was mistaken about not getting into the sinuses. You *can* tilt your head back, but if you do, you are not supposed to swallow the water. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:41 2
      - Yeah, I'm not tilting my head back. I can totally feel it sloshing around in there - Reagen Feb 13, 12:42 1
        
        ah, I suggest checking the site I linked above. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 12:42

LYC: I am shocked that American Crime the movie toned it down from the real life events - Epiphany Feb 13, 12:34 2
- I've heard two accounts of "Do not watch this movie." from people. -- nm - Shaun Feb 13, 12:34 1
  - the pay off is not worth the sadness/depression you will feel - it has that Mad Money effect though - Epiphany Feb 13, 12:45
