If you're going to give a kid a 'toy' gun, first point it at your inner thigh and pull the trigger. F***ers have great aim. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 14:07 2
- change your to their in that post and the kid will never accidentally point a gun at anyone - zork May 1, 14:08
- for comparison, I gave kieran a bat and a baseball and in the span of 5 minutes he hit the ball into the TV, a painting, and inches past my head. - Beryllium May 1, 14:08
Hey Trumbo...hit.something. - Mel Profit May 1, 14:05 2

I'm sending my dad cupcakes. he doesn't like super sweet things, and likes to pretend things are healthy. carrot, or banana? - amanda May 1, 14:02 9
- pseudo-healthy: cake->carrot, cupcake->banana -- nm - zork May 1, 14:07
- have you made zucchini before? they're pretty stellar. -- nm - colin May 1, 14:05
- carrot is more illusion-of-healthy, as long as they're not loaded with cream cheese frosting. -- nm - b. May 1, 14:03 4
  - this was my next question. should I get them frosted? if so, with what? -- nm - amanda May 1, 14:04 3
    - ...cream cheese frosting, of course. but a thinly iced. -- nm - colin May 1, 14:06
    - a dollop of the cream cheese kind would be ok, just not full-on cake-is-frosting-conveyence thickness. -- nm - b. May 1, 14:05 1
      - this kind of dollop, only thinner is what I had in mind. nm but: -- (link) - b. May 1, 14:08

Ugh. Apparently I have an episode of Wild Kingdom happening in my back yard. My dog caught a squirrel. - pmb May 1, 14:01 7
- Just hope the squirrel's kin don't hear about this. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 1, 14:08
- oh no, you'r poor wife. - ty97 May 1, 14:03 2
  - I honestly can't believe he caught one. He usually sort of stalks them until they start to run and then it's way too late. - pmb May 1, 14:06 1
    - now he has the taste, you're going to have to buy him squirrel-flavored kibble. -- nm - b. May 1, 14:09
- "what a good hunter you are! *pause* don't you ever ever do that again!" (words I said to my kitty years ago.) -- nm - b. May 1, 14:03

Proposed bold LACMA redesign would demolish all four of its core buildings -- (link) - con_carne May 1, 13:56 3
- "the design has been inspired more by the oozing, fluid forms of the La Brea Tar Pits." Heh, sounds beautiful. -- nm - Meg May 1, 14:00
- Am I the only one that had no clue what LACMA was? -- nm - Spawn May 1, 13:58 1
  - yes. -- nm - znufrii May 1, 14:02

- "what is Hideo Nomo doing here?" nm -- nm - groiny May 1, 13:51
Oh wow - I might even move to the east coast for that clock tower!! Too bad my MegaMillions didn't pay off last night. -- nm - Meg May 1, 13:47 18
- Yeah, that's been my dream condo for a while. - ty97 May 1, 13:54 7
  - The lack of window treatments made me think of you - con_carne May 1, 14:00 5
    - I wouldn't put any up and I'd totally walk around naked. - ty97 May 1, 14:02 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        My apologies for breaking your work concentration by arousing you. -- nm - ty97 May 1, 14:04 2
        
        I didn't need this post. -- nm - znufrii May 1, 14:05 1
        
        just think of him as "naked guy" from "friends" and that should reduce the arousal. -- nm - b. May 1, 14:06
  - Eh, first one to raise the $18mil gets it...by then they'll only be asking half that :) - Meg May 1, 13:58
- v. cool. I can't remember what it was, but there was a movie or tv show that had someone living in one. *brain squint* -- nm - b. May 1, 13:54 4
  - the crow? -- nm - amanda May 1, 13:58 1
    - I've never seen that. -- nm - b. May 1, 13:59
  - You Live In What? and Extreme Homes on HGTV has a few. the former skyscraper rooftop watertower, now a home in Seattle is great -- nm - peglegpete May 1, 13:58
  - (not Hugo, longer ago; but more modern-day for when it was.) -- nm - b. May 1, 13:55
- I matched the powerball for a $4 win and got 1 more plus 2 mega millions tickets for Friday - fingers crossed -- nm - JenBro May 1, 13:50 1
  - since it costs a lot to win, and even more to lose, you a me bound to spend some time wondering what to choose -- nm - peglegpete May 1, 13:54
- neither did my ticket. I drove to stateline this morning to get another for the next 10 weeks of draws -- nm - peglegpete May 1, 13:49
- I assume the elevator is private? - Spawn May 1, 13:48 1
  - Looks like there's one (maybe a private express) from downstairs and maybe a smaller one just in the house? -- nm - Meg May 1, 13:56

      - Logan finally got a gun this year. - Spawn May 1, 13:42 7
        
        if you don't give him a gun, he will shoot with his fingers. - groiny May 1, 13:43 6
        
        His fingers don't shoot darts from one end of the house to the other! - Spawn May 1, 13:44 5
        
        I will be buying him a massive Water Cannon. FYI. Approved or not. -- nm - Remlik May 1, 13:46 4
        
        like all good uncles do :)) steel drums are also a great gift -- nm - peglegpete May 1, 13:50 2
        
        if I thought they had room I'd consider it. -- nm - Remlik May 1, 13:53 1

  - It is spectacular with the lights off. -- nm - Spawn May 1, 13:30
- Didn't you... wait... wasn't it Andie that wanted this? -- nm - Spawn May 1, 13:25 2
  - patryk and I are talking in IM about that. that was a showerhead. this is for faucets. silly. we still want that. we just want this too. nm - amanda May 1, 13:26
