LYC: On FB, I took something called "Dr. Phil's Personality Test" and it told me I was "The Vain, Self-Centered Leader" -- nm - con_carne Feb 16, 14:47 3
- I'm the "Lively Center of Attention." -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 14:55
- Two of those are completely redundant, when the source and action is considered. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:49
- IE you are just like Dr. Phill -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:48
Heh. Next week's TV Guide quote for TAR: - Reagen Feb 16, 14:44 2

  - and i can't wait to see the metldown -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 16, 14:52
/me downs a McNuggetini -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 14:42 3

i'm thinking about using some of my tax returns to buy my first handgun, but don't know much about them,... what kind of handgun would ST suggest? -- nm - durwood Feb 16, 14:39 22
- ok, should have made it more clear... i want a gun for self-defense -- nm - durwood Feb 16, 14:50 2
  - Revolver. It's almost always going to fire when you need it too. Less of a chance of an accident. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:51 1
    - yeah, it's like the AK47 versus the M16 ... sure, the M16 has more features, but the AK47 is nigh sandproof. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:52
- Go to a shooting range that rents guns... - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 16, 14:49 5
  - I would not buy a book instead. If someone breaks into your house, a book doesn't really stop them. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:50 4
    - And every time you buy a book, you're potentially ending a tree. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 14:52
    - okay, a baseball bat -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 16, 14:51
    - Blunt objects can be weapons, too. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:51 1

- which one looks best when held sideways? -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 14:46 1
  - Gangsta! -- nm - J Feb 16, 14:47
- If I was just learning how to handle a gun I would recommend a revolver. - Redmond Feb 16, 14:46
- The kind that pops out a little flag that says "Only messing!" -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:45
- That depends -- what are you planning to use it for? Just playing around at target practice? Competition shooting? Self-defense? - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 14:43 1
  - It's about time someone asked this question. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:44
- I've never owned one, and I don't think I ever will. But ... Glock 29. Or maybe the 27. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:42
- 9mm -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 14:42 1

- Me too! [jumps up and down] -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 16, 14:50
- you fool, when you buy something that you need to pretend to hate, blame it on your wife. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 14:41
- so you could be a dancing queen ? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 16, 14:40
- So you could have the three songs you actually like? What did it cost you 9 bucks? - Redmond Feb 16, 14:39 1
  - Mop's Rule of Buying CDs: No more than 1 buck for each song you like. Otherwise, just pay 99cents/song on iTunes. - Mop Feb 16, 14:42
Fine, we'll go west to Della Femina -- (link) - CQ Feb 16, 14:38
When I was much younger, I went to the mall (in winter) to participate in a video gaming competition on the Colecovision. - Mop Feb 16, 14:34 2
- I did that when Atari Asteroids came out. High score got the winner a free Atari and all the games they made to date. - Redmond Feb 16, 14:38 1
  - I used to like getting the high scores Activision used to tell you to get to on the Atari 2600 and then to mail in the photo. - Jovian Feb 16, 14:41
Vanessa Hudgens in talks to play in the adaption of Dead@17 graphic novels. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 14:32 2

Sirus/XM news....creditors seek to remove CEO Mel Karmazin.... - Remlik Feb 16, 14:23 4
- So the creditors are siding with Echostar? Am I reading that right? -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:36 1
  - As tough as it is to envision, I see an Echostar merger as the best option for consumers. - Mop Feb 16, 14:38
- I'm not sure I understand how creditors have any say in who the CEO is -- nm - ty97 Feb 16, 14:29 1
  - huh. maybe as some kind of bargaining chip? -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 14:31
Because I didn't realize I was on a backboard , I Love You Beth Cooper = Can't Hardly Buy Me Love. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 14:22 2
- I totally got the '80s high school rom-com vibe from it. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:35
- I think it's kind of like Nadine but set in high school. -- nm - Callisto Feb 16, 14:24
looking at Bungie.net stats, my worst games lately have come on The Pit - crash davis Feb 16, 14:22 9
- we've noticed - J Feb 16, 14:24 8
  - actually according to my stats, Sandtrap is one of my better maps :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 14:26 7
    - no I meant sandtrap is bad for me :) -- nm - J Feb 16, 14:32 6
      - i'm not sure I have a statistically bad map. - tRUMaN Feb 16, 14:34 5
        
        I took a casual glance at your stats, you perform at a lower level on Valhalla than your career average -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 14:42
        
        over play? crazy - J Feb 16, 14:38 3
        
        do you like Blackout? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:41 2
        
        I like Blackout when we do zero gravity and one shot kills...that's about the only time -- nm - J Feb 16, 14:42 1
        
        Hrm. I don't get that ... for me, Blackout is like Guardian on Steroids. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:44
heh, nice: magenta isn't a color. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:20 3
- looks just like the tube of magenta in my paintbox. that has always bothered me, actually. When arranging paints in order I don't know where to put - loosilu Feb 16, 14:24 2
  - I did not know pink = magenta. Hmm -- nm - con_carne Feb 16, 14:33 1
    - well, in my paintbox, magenta and permanent rose are my pink colors. They're blue-red. All the other reds are orange red and if I mix them with blue, - loosilu Feb 16, 14:34
Dr. Who fans...LMS turned me onto this online comic "The 10 Doctors" it's just fantastic...it's really long.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 16, 14:19 2

Score one for the felines: cat detects man's lung cancer -- (link) - Reagen Feb 16, 14:11 9

  - I read about that. when a cat started hanging out with a patient, the nurses would call the family. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 14:29
  - yep, i remember that story. there are lots of stories of stuff like that. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 14:25
  - Or maybe it sat on their chests and stole their breath! Did you ever think of that?!? -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:25
  - ....died because the cat killed them. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 14:25
- I call shenanigans. If the guy was later diagnosed with heart disease, the cat would be feted for spotting that. - Loyola Feb 16, 14:22
- ...then performs surgery to remove the tumor. -- nm - Dano Feb 16, 14:21
- ...tries to eat it. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:16

    - when he worked in the end of the song I was impressed. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 16, 14:20
- hehe, this was probably the funniest skit of the night. - Jovian Feb 16, 14:11
I'm interviewing for an internship in a few weeks. I love the company but hate the location and they only pay a small stipend at the end of 3 months. - Hotkiss Feb 16, 14:08 14
- If it is good experience and you like the company, you should take the job. - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 16, 14:17
- It depends a bit on what field your internship is in, and if it's the field you see yourself ending up in. - Loyola Feb 16, 14:13 7
  - This is exactly pointing on the path of where I want to go, which is cool because my studies don't point here at all. I suppose I should be happy I - Hotkiss Feb 16, 14:17 6
    - Right. Besides, who knows what they'll offer you if you dazzle them. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:19 5
      - The company is located in podunk Indiana. If I take the job, does that mean I'll be stuck in podunk forever? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 16, 14:21 4
        
        of course not. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 14:44
        
        What ever gave you that idea. No -- nm - con_carne Feb 16, 14:34
        
        Forever and ever, Amen. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:23
        
        No need to jump ahead. You don't know that you'll get/want an offer. - ty97 Feb 16, 14:22
- Probably not. There's also the fact that unknown doors may be opened by taking it. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 14:10
- I thought internships were more about the experience than the money. - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 14:10 3
  - It is, but you can't say money doesn't factor in somehwere. I can only afford to work for free for so long. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 16, 14:13 2
    - If the interview isn't for a few weeks and nothing more suitable comes up before then, something is better than nothing. And you did say you like the - Qale Feb 16, 14:17
    - three months though isn't long...and it might be a springboard to a good job -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 16, 14:14
geez, I can't remember what I worked on on Friday -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 14:07
DISH Network free on demand movies -- (link) - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:01
SC Sheriff says he won't charge Michael Phelps -- (link) - CovingtonCat Feb 16, 14:00 1
- Sheesh, was that guy ever on a power trip. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:02
RC - Ha! Yeah, even with free popcorn. - kelly Feb 16, 13:59 2
- Good point. He'd either be getting up every 10 minutes for a refill, or he'd have to stack a dozen buckets of popcorn on the seat next to him. - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 14:04 1
  - He didn't even eat the veggies! - kelly Feb 16, 14:08
I looked all day yesterday. Anyway to transfer my 450 Itunes songs to Windows Media Player 11. (other than burning them one audio CD at a time) - Redmond Feb 16, 13:58 8
- What kilbo says is accurate, although a better question would be: Why abandon iTunes for Windows Media Player? - Mop Feb 16, 14:04 5
  - Because I setup my PS3 to share wireless with my PC through Windows Media 11. Itunes will not share with PS3 -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:34
  - If you're not buying music via iTunes, iTunes is a real dog of an application IMO. Sadly, I love the Aiport Expresses I have so we use it. -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:06 3
    - I'm seriously considering ripping CDs to Apple Lossless instead of FLAC because I'm liking iTunes so much. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:07 2
      - One of us! One of us! - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 14:10 1
        
        I'm heartened that I can do it with DBPowerAmp. -- nm - Mop Feb 16, 14:11
- Upgrade all your songs to iTunes plus. That removes the protection and should allow you to play them in WMP11 (I think it plays M4A) - oblique, better than nubby Feb 16, 13:59 1
  - How much is that going to cost me? -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:35
It's a bad sign for the makeup of your 3 win football team when you franchise your kicker, right? - Will Hunting Feb 16, 13:57 2
- Sounds like something the Raiders would do. -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 13:59
- who? -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 13:59
DML: I'm taking out Jess for dinner tonight. Do I head east or west? -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 13:56 10
- Valentine's not over? - con_carne Feb 16, 14:02 2
  - she was away for a bit - so she gets extra consideration -- nm - Epiphany Feb 16, 14:03 1
    - Oh, I see - con_carne Feb 16, 14:05
- West. Bad fairies live in the East. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 14:00
- you will be eaten by a grue. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 13:57

    - :) -- nm - Redmond Feb 16, 14:43
I wanna see a 150minute Shawn vs Jericho match at WM. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 13:56 11
- I read that as "Spawn vs. Jericho match." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 16, 14:02
- Have a Jericho/Rock match - eag Feb 16, 13:59 1
  - Cena has been talking smack that he's the next huge action star and that there is no one filling that void right now. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 14:03
- I can always get excited for MITB. And I remain hopeful they will find something for Mr. Kennedy. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 13:58 5
  - He gets injured every 3 months -- nm - eag Feb 16, 14:00 4
    - and eats at KFC! -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 14:02 3
      - See, a wise man with good taste. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 14:03 2
        
        Yep. He ordered a ton of food when I saw him. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 14:03 1
        
        Takes a lot of energy to run that kind of mouth. - TFox Feb 16, 14:04
- Make it a Shawn and Punk vs Jericho and JBL 60 minute tornado tag match most pinfalls or submissions wins match and book it! -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 13:58
- Retirement match for HBK -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 13:57
