    - and, because of that I want Miami and San Antonio. We need a hero and a villain. Not boring and boredom - Bacon May 28, 17:48 3
      - Uh... there is no hero is San Antonio or Miami. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 17:56 2
        
        ... but I do like that you think Miami is going to win. -- nm - Spawn May 28, 17:57 1

On a local Spanish language channel the Cubs are Los Cubes, the Sox are The White Sox on the Southside. - nevermind May 28, 17:06 1

- It may be too soon, but The Office was up there. -- nm - JaxSean May 28, 18:11

- St. Elsewhere or Newhart -- nm - Mr. Havens May 28, 17:54

- I liked Voyager and the DS9 finales -- nm - Beaker May 28, 17:21

    - It was a fine finale for season 6 of the show, but completely voided seasons 1-5 to get there. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 17:20 4
      - but it really didnt void them though -- nm - Jovian May 28, 17:22 3
        
        It basically dismissed and negated everything that was intriguing about the show up to the finale. - Cuzzin Todd May 28, 18:03
        
        Seasons 1-5: "All this minutiae matters and it isn't Limbo". Season 6: "All that minutiae didn't matter and it is Limbo." -- nm - TWuG May 28, 17:24 1

  - Yeah, Angel was kickass. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado May 28, 17:11 1
    - "I wish to do more violence." -- nm - Tim May 28, 17:12
- I really didn't enjoy the MASH one. I think we can all agree that the worst was Seinfeld -- nm - zork May 28, 17:05 1
  - I came across it being aired recently, and watched the last 10 minutes or so. so bad, still. -- nm - b. May 28, 17:13
- Cheers was good. -- nm - GregW May 28, 17:04
- whatever breaking bad does -- nm - stewie May 28, 17:04
- MASH or TNG -- nm - amoxy May 28, 17:03
- I can't do ones much. in addition to below, gotta include six feet under, newhart, st. elsewhere. - b. May 28, 17:03 3
  - Six Feet Under, I'd say either the last 20 minutes, or the last 3 full episodes. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado May 28, 17:09 2
    - yah, it's not a simple one - the very end stuck with me, though. -- nm - b. May 28, 17:12 1
      - SFU is easily my fav all time. -- nm - Jovian May 28, 17:16
- Mash, friends, office to name three - Will Hunting May 28, 17:00
- M*A*S*H -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 17:00 2
  - no way. I'd say Mary Tyler Moore Show or ST:TNG were better -- nm - zork May 28, 17:01 1
    - the end of the last Carol Burnett Show was touching -- nm - zork May 28, 17:21
We just won 2 goldfish at a carnival. UGH. I'm reading that goldfish need big tanks with filtration systems because they create so much waste. Please - kelly May 28, 16:51 19
- You should get a ten gallon aquarium but you can use a bowl if you change the water very often. - Krusty May 28, 17:36 1
  - whatever you use, make sure to leave the replacement water out for 24 hours (or use a de-chlorinator) or the fish will die. -- nm - zork May 28, 17:39
- put them in a pond. come back in one year. catch them. viola. giant goldfish. sell for hundreds -- nm - Jovian May 28, 17:20
- take the bowl to Petsmart or similar and ask them for advice. Tell them you only want to spend $10 or so. -- nm - zork May 28, 17:11 1
  - *laughs* -- nm - Petsmart May 28, 17:33
- Do you have a pond nearby you like to visit? Let them go there, then visit the pond and feed them bread. -- nm - landbeck May 28, 17:04
- I had a carnival goldfish for 5 years in a bowl -- nm - amoxy May 28, 17:02 1
  - Had many goldfish that lasted a long time in large bowls and jars. And at best I changed the water once a week or two. - nevermind May 28, 17:09
- a plant and a snail or two are all you need as far as I know -- nm - zork May 28, 16:57 1
  - The snails are good. When I bought fish tank plants a lot of times the little snails were on them already. - Bacon May 28, 17:08
- I'm pretty sure at a carnival, you're supposed to swallow the goldfish you win. -- nm - Qale May 28, 16:56
- I've got a bowl right here! -- nm - all drains lead to the ocean, kid. May 28, 16:53
- No way. They need a 5 gallon bowl and you change the water once every couple of weeks -- nm - Bacon May 28, 16:52 6
  - Sites are saying 2 gallons per fish and the filter because they are dirty fish -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 16:56 2
    - I disagree. But if you want to forgo the filter system and still feel good. Buy some anacharis (it's a fish tank live plant) - Bacon May 28, 17:05 1
      - In fact there are other plants that will also eat the waste. Petco will have several varieties. - Bacon May 28, 17:06
  - I am guessing you went to a PETA type site. -- nm - Bacon May 28, 16:54 2
    - Nope. Can I put them both in the same bowl? -- nm - kelly May 28, 16:58 1
      - Yep. As long as they aren't beta fish or angel fish types. Goldfish won't eat each other -- nm - Bacon May 28, 17:01

- I just sent this link to my department with the subject line "I don't feel so bad about being late with my timesheets" -- nm - zork May 28, 17:16
- that's an organisation that definitely has to escort people out the door when you're let go. -- nm - zork May 28, 16:59

speaking of privacy/art issues: Artist finds cigarette butt on sidewalk; extracts DNA; models face from DNA; hangs face as art. -- (link) - Max May 28, 16:22 19
- Don't litter shitheads -- nm - Bacon May 28, 16:46 7
  - I hate how people think it's ok to throw cigarette butts anywhere. If they tore off the filter and threw the paper/tobacco part it wouldn't be so bad - zork May 28, 16:50 6
    - I overheard a guy bitching that the "do gooders" that enacted indoor smoking bans in Illinois weren't thinking ahead - TWuG May 28, 17:16 2
      - I thought most studies showed that the impact is minimal especially in the long run -- nm - zork May 28, 17:17 1
        
        Apparently not for this guy. - TWuG May 28, 17:22
    - well, since most of them will light up around anyone, anywhere, anytime . . . - charlie May 28, 17:00 1
      - yeah, I just love walking through the cloud on the way in and out of buildings -- nm - zork May 28, 17:02
    - I see lit cigarettes pitched out of car windows daily here. - Bacon May 28, 17:00
- Maybe it's the DNA of the model she made out with -- nm - con_carne May 28, 16:37
- if strippers ever did that with spunk...we'd have a museum full of Cappie pics :) (j/k) -- nm - budice May 28, 16:37
- kinda sorta maybe like the person whose dna it is. no mention of her testing dna of friends or the like, for accuracy? it's easy enough to do a - b. May 28, 16:32
- At this point in time, I'd expect that it could only get an approximation of the face. - Beryllium May 28, 16:31 7
  - A great practical joke would be to secretly switch her sample submission results with a rendering for Predator. -- nm - Max May 28, 16:35 2
    - would it? - charlie May 28, 16:37
    - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 16:36
  - are you saying a DIY bio lab and homemade software might not be accurate or even that close? *shock* -- nm - b. May 28, 16:33
  - (But,I don't mean to be a debbie downer ... or an uma uplifter ... it's still a very interesting project) -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 16:33 2
    - I'd think this is already going on, in more scientific ways, elsewhere. even law enforcement applications alone would be something. -- nm - b. May 28, 16:34 1
      - Yeah - I don't know if they would model it, but they would certainly get enough for a description of a suspect -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 16:36
Yum - placeI stopped to get dinner to go has cream of morel mushroom for their soup of the day! -- nm - JenBro May 28, 16:22 3
- I hear that goes great with Superman ice cream -- nm - prayformojo May 28, 16:22 2
  - That they do not have ... But I hope it goes well with a pulled pork sandwich with a side of garlic green beans. :) -- nm - JenBro May 28, 16:24 1
    - Well...you'll have to go out for ice cream. -- nm - nevermind May 28, 16:41

- I don't understand why her parents don't try to get a conservatorship over her like Britney Spears' parents did. -- nm - jnine May 28, 16:14 3
  - She's not quite certifiable yet? -- nm - nevermind May 28, 16:42 1
    - She's an adult and while she is definitely crazy she may not have hit the level that tips the balance yet. -- nm - nevermind May 28, 16:43
  - I wondered about that too, and checked out her wikipedia entry last week. everyone else seems normal/professional, from it, - b. May 28, 16:36

  - Redditors? Yup -- nm - Qale May 28, 17:12
  - they have some good points. I worked my way through college with a weekend job, tuition was $169, my student loan was $1,600 -- nm - zeitgeist May 28, 16:12
  - I have seen lots of 'lazy millennial' bashing lately. I think several of these are worthy rebuttals to that unfair charge -- nm - ty97 May 28, 16:11 5
    - it was a more industrial economy 30 years ago. but even then, the 20-somethings entering it were already getting fucked by Reaganomics more than - charlie May 28, 16:16 4
      - Pitting the generations against each other for the 1% of the economy they get helps big money hide the elephant in the room. Let's not look at where - jnine May 28, 16:20 3
        
        yeah, I got a FB friend who frequently posts crap, Look at the traffic heading out of florida since they required drug testing for welfare - zeitgeist May 28, 16:34 1
