She needed Clothes -- (link) - amoxy Oct 23, 17:37 3
- 100k for clothes doesn't bother me, after all its all part and parcel of the 'packaging' of a candidate like any product sold to us on TV - zeitgeist Oct 23, 18:35
- well i for once agree with him - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 23, 17:39

- Well, Bacon Salt 11.99+5 -- nm - celedhrymandias Oct 23, 17:29
- Did anyone get BOC? I was out swimming. -- nm - psilotum Oct 23, 17:10 1
  - I was on the order page, but it never took. -- nm - truman Oct 23, 17:23
- and Bery: nice pasting functionality! -- nm - psilotum Oct 23, 17:04
Okay, car dealer hasn't called to tell me that the car is ready ... *annoyed* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 16:59
Just confirmed that when you rate a blog the writer gets 1k. Everyone must rate Mara's beer blog! - CovingtonCat Oct 23, 16:59 2
- And a new entry has been posted. (Damn, I still get the paragraph breaks in there.) -- nm - mara Oct 23, 17:30 1
  - still *didn't* get, I mean -- nm - mara Oct 23, 17:32
Words cannot describe how much I hate the sucky new Myspac.....err HSX site design. - Stephen Oct 23, 16:50 3
- Perhaps you should try interpretive dance. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 23, 17:09 1
  - L3 -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 23, 17:19
- it's like that girl's crazy like pineapple page -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 16:56
heh, there was just an ad on cnn for HISM3 from honda. -- nm - b! Oct 23, 16:45
I know this really isn't a big deal to anyone except me, but - I'm all excited b/c I got my voter registration card in the mail today. - kelly Oct 23, 16:35 16
- I *know* I have my absentee ballot here somewhere. Guess I should find it and complete it :/ - MojaveMeg Oct 23, 16:46
- eggcellent! -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 16:45
- I think it's pretty cool. :-) I hope voting isn't too much of a hassle this year. I wached the early voting line at my library all day today. Ugh. I - mara Oct 23, 16:42
- My new voter registration card is here! The new voter registration card is here! - Navin R Johnson Oct 23, 16:41
- that's great! i think it's terrific that more people are excited to vote this year, and that more are seeking education about issues, etc. - b! Oct 23, 16:39 2
  - Oh, I had voted when I lived in RI. - kelly Oct 23, 16:48 1
    - i figured! (that's why i tried to cover with the parenthetical. :) -) -- nm - b! Oct 23, 16:56
- Got my ballot in the mail yesterday (Oregon is vote-by-mail, regardless of what Aaron Sorkin would have you believe). -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:39 6
  - All voting in Oregon is by mail? No polling sites? -- nm - krusty Oct 23, 16:41 5
    - Yep. And WA is all vote-by-mail except for the two most urban counties. -- nm - psilotum Oct 23, 16:45 4
      - Yeah but they are making it difficult to continue going to a polling place. - zeitgeist Oct 23, 17:20
      - It seems odd to me to not have someplace to go vote on election day. It's probably easier to vote by mail but I like using our old fashioned voting - krusty Oct 23, 16:49 2
        
        NY? Those are beyond old-fashioned, they're ancient. -- nm - psilotum Oct 23, 17:06 1
        
        Yeah, but I love 'em. -- nm - krusty Oct 23, 17:16
- Wait till next week when you get your jury summons -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 16:36 1
  - I don't mind jury duty at all. If it's what I need to do as part of being a registered voter, then so be it. -- nm - kelly Oct 23, 16:38
Heh. EW's cover this week. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Oct 23, 16:27 28
- S3 is not nearly as bad as S2, but a lot of goodwill capital has been spent. - celedhrymandias Oct 23, 17:13
- the flaw in this is that if they thinned the cast the sub-par acting and dialogue would be twice as apparent. - Die Incognito Oct 23, 17:10
- pssst... the show was never good. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 23, 16:52
- Why would it be a joke? After an enjoyable first season the show is the suck. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 16:50 8
  - Season 2 unanimously was bad. Season 3 has bit a solid divide among people. Some love it, some hate it. - ty97 Oct 23, 17:02 2
    - I watched the season premiere then cancelled the season pass. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 17:25 1
      - i watched the first hour of the seaon premiere, got bored during the second, and haven't watched again. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 17:42
  - psst, s3 has been rwally good. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 17:00 4
    - pssst not based on the 2 episodes I saw. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 17:26
    - You say this about every season. You have yet to be right. -- nm - Jihad the Prophet Oct 23, 17:02 2
      - nope. Season 2 was bad/half way decent parts. season 1 great. Season 3 good/pending great -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 17:13 1
        
        You and pixie should talk. -- nm - Jihad the Prophet Oct 23, 17:16
- This won't mean much to anyone, but the show is very much Dragonlance. - Max Oct 23, 16:30 11
  - You watched the Dragonlance movie? -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:36 2
    - Yes. I mean, there is no such movie. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 16:37 1
      - Seriously. I need to sell it on eBay to some other poor Dragonlance fan who will be just as disgusted. -- nm - Jihad the Prophet Oct 23, 16:57
  - so who's Raistlin and Caramon? -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 16:31 7
    - I've only read the first book, but I love Raistlin best. - Callisto Oct 23, 16:35 5
      - Would you like the other books from the Max Lending Library? -- nm - Max Oct 23, 16:38 3
        
        We have them. David's a big fan. (but thank you) -- nm - Callisto Oct 23, 16:45 2
        
        Yeah, I don't mean to compare wives but my first one got me Margaret Weis' autograph. - Jihad the Prophet Oct 23, 16:56 1
        
        I got you that awesome Michael Vick rookie card...oh, wait. -- nm - Callisto Oct 23, 16:59
      - The whole series is a good read. -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:36
    - Hiro and Ando. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 16:32
- (from the side menu) Lost Season 5 promo. Mostly old clips. Still good. -- (link) - Mop Oct 23, 16:30 1
  - It's just enough to feel like Christmas coming early. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 23, 16:43
- while I'm mildly enjoying the show, there is no sense of danger to any of the characters anymore. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 16:29 1
  - Exactly. The drama has been lost. Too convoluted. Marc Bernardin of EW says that (and this is probably one of the fix-its) - HdnAgnda Oct 23, 16:39
The good news: I have no work tomorrow. There's nothing to be done! -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 16:22 8
- the bad news: you still have to clean out my garage. -- nm - b! Oct 23, 16:24 7
  - speaking of garages, I really need to clean out mine. Crap just accumulates -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 16:28 4
    - mine first. *squints* -- nm - mistress b! Oct 23, 16:29 3
      - I'm thinking garage sale. I need to get rid of some of this stuff -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 16:31 2
        
        i actually have boxes ready to go for a sale. - b! Oct 23, 16:36 1
        
        exactly. I'm not a hoarder either. -- nm - CQ Oct 23, 16:40
  - do I hear a whipcrack somewhere? -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 16:25 1
    - my fierce likely isn't the same with my walker accessory, but i am willing to give it a go. -- nm - mistress b! Oct 23, 16:27
I figure the best way to protest the HSX changes is to completely stop playing until (and if) they make it more user friendly. Who is with me on this? - not2fast Oct 23, 16:13 34
- im in! (i havent actually played in a couple years, so this will be very easy for me. :) -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 23, 17:08
- I think we should all chip in and send them 4 tons of screws -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 16:25
- I'm dumping all my stocks into cash -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:23 5
  - That just gives them site traffic. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 16:47
  - I don't envy you pulling that off with the current interface -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 16:31 2
    - I was going to do it an hour at a time (maybe two hours per weekend) until they were gone, but now I don't know. It's hard to care. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:42
    - seriously. just getting through last week's bonds was crazy-making. -- nm - b! Oct 23, 16:32
  - HSX should have added a "cashing out all my stocks" button. I'm livid! -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:27
- [deleted] 1
  - I did send them an email, though there has been no response yet. -- nm - not2fast Oct 23, 16:38
- I'm taking the approach to help 'live test' and provide feedback. - ty97 Oct 23, 16:15 10
  - Seriously? After the lack of response to feedback during the beta test, you believe this will change things? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:24 6
    - I believe they are working on changing some things now. I don't know how far it will go, but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt. - ty97 Oct 23, 16:27 5
      - Has there been anything said by official HSX to affirm this belief? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:32 3
        
        yes, there have been some posts in the forums - ty97 Oct 23, 16:36 2
        
        If they get to where you can see your whole port on one page and provide at minimum the same sorting options, along with daily change and color - not2fast Oct 23, 16:41 1
        
        I'm not sure it will be 'full port' on a page based on what I've read - ty97 Oct 23, 16:46
      - This is where I am, too. - glory Oct 23, 16:31
  - I'm going to try your approach for now and see where things go from here. -- nm - krusty Oct 23, 16:23
  - same here -- nm - Stacy Oct 23, 16:20
  - You're a good man, ty97. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:16

  - Oh crap! I was tricked into clicking that link for the Twilight holiday warrant! Foiled! -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:15 2
    - bwahahahahahaha! -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 16:16 1
      - Curses! I'll get you, ty97! Mark my words! You, and your little dog, too! -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:22
- I haven't visited the site recently except clicking on maybe two links posted here. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:14 6
  - You must keep the beer blog going! -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 23, 16:30 2
    - Really? Hmmm. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:37 1
      - Rumor has it blog writers get schmooze from people who read the blog. - CovingtonCat Oct 23, 16:47
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yes, I admit that too. -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:16
    - i only logged in to take out my birthdate -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 16:16
- Heh, I simply consider it unplayable for the time being, so that won't be hard. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 16:14 1
  - Same here. I did one trade to see how it worked and just said screw it. I don't have that much time to waste. -- nm - not2fast Oct 23, 16:16
Will, I've thought about it. - Mop Oct 23, 16:12 1
- that first paragraph is a big part of my issues with it, though i'm not a web-geek. as a user, i know what does/doesn't work as far as places people - b! Oct 23, 16:18

  - i'm sooo glad he finally took some crap. i tried telling everyone years ago he was overrated... - x Oct 23, 16:25 1
    - I listened. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 16:48
  - Who doesn't believe that he saw it coming and stepped down to avoid the fallout? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:17
- Slow day, then? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:12
- Yeah, I've noticed that the RSS is getting hard to handle. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 16:12
- *points* there's another one! -- nm - b! Oct 23, 16:11 2

- Here? It's the HSX forums that are worse. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 16:12 3
  - oh well, i won't go there to read *word* 700 times for money. so i have no idea what's happening over there. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 23, 16:12 2
    - Unless they've chenged it in the last 36 hours, you post under your username/port name. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 23, 16:14

  - I kid you not, my five closest friends in college were named Brian. -- nm - nubby Oct 23, 16:11 5
    - Were you known as The Six Brians? -- nm - mara Oct 23, 16:14 4
      - Nah, though that'd be a great title for something. - nubby Oct 23, 16:14 3
