  - Well then why haven't you updated the results, slacker?! -- nm - Dano Feb 17, 13:11 6

- I would agree, but only within a consistent venue. - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:12 15
  - [deleted] 14
    - We actually agree on one thing, then. - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:16 13
      - [deleted] 12
        
        point taken, but in legal terms, does a "change of venue" indicate simply moving to a different location? - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:21 11
        
        I think you just out-lawyered him. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:22 1
        
        oh, I wish... - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:26
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        I will admit to only being inelegant in my use of the term. - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:24 7
        
        and your clarification of that usage in no way proves me as being wrong in mine. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:25 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        If you'd spend less time macking me and more time coming up with a cogent argument for why I'm wrong, you might actually win one of these days. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:27 4
        
        [deleted]
        
        macking = mocking, obvie -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:27 2
        
        macking is way more hilarious. (see urbandictionary for possible interpretations) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:29 1
        
        blocked at work, but I really don't think i need to look to get the gist... :) -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:30

  - no it's not! You're not drunk and gay and mexican right now. Admit it! It comes and goes. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:12 1
    - [deleted]
- (Honestly, this whole dialogue today is ... disenheartening. And distracting - I'm supposed to be coding javascript here. Heh. :)) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:10

    - different challenges...like Pakistan having the big toys. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:17
Blart's most recent numbers surprise me... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:07 11
- Some people actually think Kevin James is funny - eag Feb 17, 13:10 10
  - I liked him a lot in "Hitch". he was charming. I haven't seen "Blart" or that movie w/Adam Sandler. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 13:11 2
    - he was great in Hitch and I'm the same, haven't seen him in anything else -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 13:13
    - that movie was Sandler...was amusing at best, but not great. Except for Biel's scenes. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 13:12
  - I think he's delightfully funny (See: Hitch). I just don't trust Blart to be a film worthy of my $11. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:11 1
    - I have issues. I just thought, "wow, Bery tried to make a post about 311 and held shift accidentally! Let me go read!" -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:13
  - *raises hand* - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:10 4
    - But, $112 million worth of funny? -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 13:14 1
      - Sure. America loves safe comedy. You can take the kids to see the movie. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:15
    - Well ive always knows that you were wired different Will - eag Feb 17, 13:12 1
      - He's a pretty earnest regular guy. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:12
LIR: Spawn. I'll say something about loosilu. She's tried hard to reduce her behavior over the years and I think she's succeeded (see secretslacker) - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:07 13
- Spawn seems to intend to hurt her feelings. she's reacting because it works. if he stopped for good, I think she would stop. -- nm - kare Feb 17, 13:09 12
  - i also wish so many people wouldn't threaten to leave. :( but i guess i've done that, too. - kare Feb 17, 13:10 11
    - Learn from Jim. When leaving, give us the blaze of glory. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:11 10
      - honestly, if you need to step away, just step away for awhile. If it has to be permanent, so be it. - Callisto Feb 17, 13:13 9
        
        Seriously. I've taken a six month sabbatical before. If the place isn't fun at the moment, take a break and see if it's better when you return. -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 13:18 2
        
        I took a two year sabbatical once, IIRC. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:19 1
        
        Is this why I thought you were a sort of "new" TTer at first? - con_carne Feb 17, 13:31
        
        Hell, I just wanna see a Jim-style blowup farewell. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:14 5
        
        Nothing's stopping you from making a fake account, having a few normal posts, then a big blow up. Heh. - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:16 4
        
        you're the only one we really have to keep happy. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:22 3
        
        Today's not doing it, but that's not ST's fault. I woke up on a wrong side of the bed. - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:26 2
        
        *back rub* is that better? -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:27 1
        
        I know Bery - eag Feb 17, 13:29
Is it hump day yet? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:06 13
- in an effort to move things into more fun territory, i will disclose that i got *this* book as part of my valentine's day present. -- (link) - Andie Feb 17, 13:09 6
  - #1 You wanna have great sex? -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 13:11
  - so. which ones have you tried? -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:10 3
    - only #1! the pages are sealed, 26 'for her eyes only', 26 'for his'. - Andie Feb 17, 13:13 1
      - no wonder there's no amazon sneak preview. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:26
    - ...on a Coors Light couch. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 13:12
  - The cover looks like a tattoo Guy would get on a ridiculously inappropriate body part. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 13:10

  - You can't fool me. You're not gay. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:07 1
