- speaking only for me: no way, not ever, nuh uh. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 08:07 6
  - Do you drink regular Coke or diet Coke? -- nm - mara Feb 18, 08:08 5
    - diet. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 08:09 4
      - Well, it's really about the difference between HFCS drinks and real sugar drinks, so you don't really count. Sorry! ;-) -- nm - mara Feb 18, 08:10 3
        
        if I drank regular, it would be only coke. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 08:10 2
        
        Hypothetical! Doesn't count!! -- nm - mara Feb 18, 08:13 1

- Have you seen Knocked Up? -- nm - kelly Feb 18, 08:07 13
  - god no. you couldn't pay me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 08:08 12
    - Not a fan of the Apatow movies? -- nm - con_carne Feb 18, 08:09 11
      - don' t know who that is, just would not in a million years see a comedy about pregancy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 08:10 10
        
        Ah, yes I've heard people say that. Apatow Productions = Superbad, 40YOV, Forgetting Sarah Marshall - con_carne Feb 18, 08:13 9
