Where's Hunting? Hey chucklenut...(spoils) - Jim Feb 17, 14:13
Anyone pick up the "Dark Was The Night" compilation that came out today? - TFox Feb 17, 14:12
I suppose I shold be glad that the sun in setting alter, but I can't say I like it streaming into my face through the office across from me. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 14:08 5

  - Bwahaha. /me enjoys watching NYCers talking about the sun as if it's some rare curiousity -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 14:16
  - Well, since I have no direct line of sight from my cube to a window - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 17, 14:16 2
    - [deleted]
    - I usually don't either, but the jacktard actross from me left his door open. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 14:17
kluvubye! -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 14:07 1

  - with machine-gun legs -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 14:11
- awesome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 14:08
- Sheesh, no wonder Ford are going bust. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 14:08
- bad.ass. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 14:06
London theatre goes to plaid -- (link) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:57 6
- Do they know who he is over there? -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 13:59 5
  - yeah, he was part of some reality-docu-show on (BBC?) that I believe is being adapted now for a US series -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 14:00 3
    - "Who Do You Think You Are" -- (link) - ty97 Feb 17, 14:00 2
      - And I guess his talk show must be syndicated there, as the article suggests -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 14:02 1
        
        they use it to make themselves feel less inferior to us. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 14:12
  - sure, they're the ones responsible for 'Jerry Springer: The Opera', remember? -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:59
Q! I have a PH query. - b! Feb 17, 13:56 19
- I'd think 3 toppings = 3 toppings. Not 4,5,6 depending on what each person wants. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 14:12 7
  - But is saying "No onions" on half of it a substituation? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 14:24
  - we just wanted half meaty, half veggie, not anything extra. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 14:14 5
    - Whoa, really? That's it. Half veggie, half meaty. That's like asked for all the time. - Qale Feb 17, 14:19
    - Don't argue. Will is the supreme Judge on pizza. Judgement rendered. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 14:15 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        It's like debating Star Wars, and then having George Lucas come in to give his opinion. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 14:18 1
        
        I believe the fans have essentially ousted George Lucas from their allowed people to give cannon commentary. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 14:20
- Pizza Hut can lick balls. They always pull crap like this. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 14:06
- Pizza Hutt here pulled that crap - 1 topping for the whole pizza then 1 for each half somehow equals three toppings. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 14:04
- That is not true. You should be able to get 3 per side. - Qale Feb 17, 14:02 4
  - that's what i thought! and re: im, no, we ordered in a take-out store. also, it should be no surprise that i am an excellent tipper. ;p -- nm - b! Feb 17, 14:05 3
    - I wouldn't expect otherwise from you b! Now that being said, individual stores may not be corp. owned, may have their own way of doing things, or - Qale Feb 17, 14:06 2
      - yah, sounds like it varies just from this thread; and i had a brain-tickle i'd done it from my local PH without issue. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 14:12
      - And people should realize it's quite expensive to order pizza, especially delivered and without using some kind of special. It's just the way it is. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 14:08
- I would think they'd charge you for one topping, but I don't order this way enough to know for sure -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 14:00 1
  - they were going to charge an extra $2.50 for the extra. ugh. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 14:03
- yeah, kinda depends on how douchey the pizza place is but I've been to some that are like that -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:56 1
  - A! -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 13:58
mr. fuzzy.. - b! Feb 17, 13:52 10
- I get that feeling a lot but don't take it personal. I'm not the greatest of posters so I get it. -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 13:56 6
  - aw, i feel bad that you (or anyone, mostly) would think that's the reason. - b! Feb 17, 14:02 5
    - Don't feel bad. -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 14:05 4
      - fwiw, I think people are way too hard on you sometimes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 14:11 1
        
        Thank you. -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 14:49
      - i can if i want to! ;p - b! Feb 17, 14:07 1
        
        Thanks! -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 14:49
- Dr. S. Talk sees all. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 13:55
- It's surprising (to me) how many people lurk here. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:53 1
  - yah. and, also from bb, i've noticed there are some people posting here more than they did on tt, so there've been changes that way. -- nm - b! Feb 17, 13:58
I love the latest episode of Fringe. Great reveal at the end. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 13:49 6
- Great, and I stopped watching. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 14:00
- What was it? - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:53 4
  - it involved a typewriter. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:53 3
    - Agent Dunham only uses 1 space between sentences!!! -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 13:55
    - Ah yes. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:54 1
      - yeah that was cool. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 13:58
oh-bah-mah's elf ... -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:48 [youtube]
This sounds really interesting to me. Not sure I can swing the Memorial Day weekend though -- (link) - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:44 4
- you have an slr, right? what do you think of this camera? -- (link) - decline Feb 17, 13:48 3
  - Note: You may also see the "XS" which is not the same line as the XSi but a more entry-level - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:55
  - Pretty much the updated version of what I have. I have the Rebel XT. If I was buying one today, that would probably be it -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:54 1
    - thanks :) -- nm - decline Feb 17, 13:54

- And her accent so doesn't help her in the least. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 13:51
oh, there you are. anyway, didn't another band appear on letterman every night for a week? -- nm - b! Feb 17, 13:44
good thing I checked with the dental office. Appointment is not the 9:30am they wrote on the card, but 2:30pm. -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 13:41
SITWAP: Where is your no-God now? Italy's first atheist advertisement bus promptly conks out. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 17, 13:39 1
- I guess he's bovvered. -- nm - Catherine Tate Feb 17, 13:40
from b4: Lord of the Flies spoiler. The kid that's brutally slain (spoilers) - Qale Feb 17, 13:39 1
- sucks to your as-mar! -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:52
Bery, some of the links posted here would make good tweets. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 13:37 2
- Yep, I'm working on a concept for this. It's going to have one annoyance, though - Beryllium Feb 17, 13:47
- (Thanks.) nm - Dignan Feb 17, 13:42
Do you think that maybe theaters are running promotions that are getting more people to the theaters? - kelly Feb 17, 13:37 7
- Nah. We'd most likely see that in daily numbers for Tuesdays. - Inigo Feb 17, 13:40 1
  - Okay. I was just thinking, maybe people who refuse to pay $10.25 for a movie ticket would run to the theaters if the ticket was now $6. - kelly Feb 17, 13:43
- I think the time frame is the key aspect here. First 6 weeks of the year are typicallly the dead time; yet they've had several large hits to put them - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:38 4
  - Gran Torino mass-opened Jan 9th, Taken will top 100mil soon. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:39 2
    - Slumdog will get there soon, and He's Just Not That Into You has a shot as well. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 13:46 1
      - And then large openers like Friday the 13th....it's just a strong lineup relative to the past 3 years' worth of releases - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:47
  - Blart and ... ? -- nm - kelly Feb 17, 13:39
SITWAP: "Snowbama" created by snow artists. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 17, 13:37
Andie, its cheese art. Of course you should. :) -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:34 7
- i ordered. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 13:37 6
  - heh, so did I. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:40
  - did you specify a cheese? -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:38 4
    - it didn't let me. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 13:39 3
      - i will let you. tell me what you want, i'll e-mail the guy that runs the site. he's a friend. - TFox Feb 17, 13:40 2
        
        oh, awesome - let me look through them! -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 13:41 1
        
        just email me (mafic and whoever else too). jacen needs me. - TFox Feb 17, 13:44

- ~ I don't think Hank did it this-a way ~ -- nm - Zombie Waylon Feb 17, 13:41
Did you guys hear about this? U2 to be the band on Letterman for a week. -- (link) - Loyola Feb 17, 13:32 3
- Doesn't look like they're replacing the house band, they're just the musical guest each night. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 13:36 1
  - I hate this more than Dignan and pledge drive week. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 13:40
- If it gets rid of that bald guy for a week I might actually watch. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 13:33

- I think the admins goals are that unemployment will be (maintained)around 7% with the stimulus - Loyola Feb 17, 13:39 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - For balance's sake, GOP spin; - Loyola Feb 17, 13:43
- Act 3 of this TAL episode goes into how our current sitch is a test of Keynesian economic theory. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:38 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - Employment and GDP, I guess. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:44 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Hmmm. I'll say... - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:54 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Fair enough. I really recommend listening to that TAL episode, if you haven't already. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 14:04
- The problem either way is that this won't be done in a vacuum, so it's difficult to ever determine if it 'worked' -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 13:35 6

    - Not all criticism, but you know even it its a great success some people will try to paint it as a failure - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 17, 13:43 1
      - and likewise, if it's a failure, some people will try and paint it as a success. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:44
  - And no matter how well it might work, there will be some looking for examples of it failing to distort -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 17, 13:36
  - or why -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:35
which comes first, cardio or strength training? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:31 28
- cardio first and then the training. you'll burn more fat more efficently when you've done the cardio. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 13:54
- start with light cardio to warm up, do you weight training and then follow up with a HIIT cardio workout -- nm - decline Feb 17, 13:45 6
  - what does HIIT mean? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:46 5
    - High Intensity Interval Training, I think, or something along those lines. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:47
    - High-intensity interval training. -- nm - decline Feb 17, 13:47 3
      - linky -- (link) - decline Feb 17, 13:47 2
        
        tx! -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:51 1
        
        warning: it hurts :) -- nm - decline Feb 17, 13:52
- Do both on alternate days. They complement each other, because muscle helps to burn fat -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 13:41
- I would start with cardio. -- nm - Callisto Feb 17, 13:38
- after my heart attack the nurses insisted I do the cardio before the heart exercises -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:36 5
  - Huh. I always figured that cardio *was* heart exercise. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:40 1
    - se below. I used the wrong word -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:43
  - ok. what's the reasoning? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:39 2
    - ug, I meant strength. but part of the reason is the heart attack lessened my strength/stamina - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:42 1
      - Gotcha. Interesting. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:47
- Depends on your goal. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 13:36 8
  - I want my body to look like Salma's. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:36 7
    - we have to cut 3" from your height :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:38
    - [deleted] 2
      - that ain't the problem. it's the gut. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 13:39 1
        
        Cardio then. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 13:40
    - It doesn't already??? -- nm - TaurusII Feb 17, 13:37
    - Rob a bank, get a lot of surgery done. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:37 1
      - or better yet, try and blackmail an ex-CIA agent. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:43
- yes. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:35 2
  - *takes away our iq* -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 13:36 1
    - oh, *now* I get it,,, -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 14:08
LIR: The results are in. Box office predictions - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:31 7

- Looks like CQ is also in the lead on the leaderboard -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:32 2
  - That's what nailing shopaholics gets you. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:33 1
    - oh, I qualify for the leaderboard? coolio -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 13:36
- I just enter my prediction for this week while I remember. - ty97 Feb 17, 13:32 1
