  - I don't know if you have them there; but I like the skippys with honey - including the natural version. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 17, 15:50

  - the tubs are 15 ounces, regular jars 16 (iirc); so not so much with the scammy. (don't get me started on laundry detergent, though.) -- nm - b. Jul 17, 15:25 1

- The easiest way to fight a dragon is to hide when it shows up. After about a minute a bunch of NPCs and guards will show up and kill it. Then you pop - Trish Jul 17, 15:50 3
  - Yeah that has happen but when they attack you out in the open not near a city - Eag Jul 17, 15:58
  - sure...but Eag is a man. A warrior born! he won't hide like some scurvy layabout! -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 15:51 1
    - Well yes this is all true - Eag Jul 17, 16:00

    - "We're finally in the goddamn Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, bitches?" -- nm - Rush Jul 17, 16:29
    - that it's not new for them is part of why I said what I did on a bb re: not caring about it, in and of itself. they have had dozens of controversial - b. Jul 17, 16:26 1
      - I like that IM. Especially that last sentence. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 16:30

    - I would say the last time they got this much attention was the McChrystal article/situation. -- nm - Qale Jul 17, 16:35 1
      - [deleted]
    - Yes, this was my cynical first response. But then I remembered that a few years ago they had pretty in-depth coverage of the financial junk -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 16:18 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Eh, I don't think it's even culturally significant. Notable, perhaps. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 17, 16:25
  - who's doing that? -- nm - b. Jul 17, 16:13 1

- No we can't. - Trish Jul 17, 15:53
- It's pretty terrible. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 14:41 1

- This is by far the greater transgression. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 17, 14:41
- Okay, I'm with you on this. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 17, 14:40

FWIW, I really like the RIPD ads. They scream Men in Black in the best possible way. -- nm - David Jul 17, 14:20 15
- Maybe that's exactly why I don't like them. They're way way way too campy for me. They kind of reminded me of Hellboy too. -- nm - Qale Jul 17, 15:25 1
  - Double bonus! -- nm - David Jul 17, 15:26
- I have not seen one ad for it. I didn't even know what y'all were talking about until I googled. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 14:37 1

- I agree with this except for the 'best' part. I got a real MIB2 feel from it. - Dr.Vermin Jul 17, 14:27 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 17, 14:34
- A MIB sequel should scream Men in Black. An RIPD movie shouldn't scream Men in Black, it should scream RIPD. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 14:23 5
  - Same core concept -- nm - David Jul 17, 14:29 1
    - To the point it looks like it could have been called Dead Men In Black. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 17, 15:13
  - The idea is pretty much just MiB with ghosts. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 14:25 2
    - I look forward to the MIB/RIPD crossover. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 17, 14:28
    - But at least make the ghosts look like human ghosts and not like MIB ghosts. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 14:27
- Yeah, nothing wrong with that. I'm digging the new, commercial Jeff Bridges. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 17, 14:23
- I agree. -- nm - Remlik Jul 17, 14:22

- It's Africa hot out there. -- nm - Max Jul 17, 14:18 2
  - please note that I'm linking this because of the "hot" and not the "Africa" -- this amused me recently. definitely has NSFW language. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 17, 14:31 [youtube]

You know what really makes you feel stupid? When the electrician comes to fix the kitchen light/fan flips a wall switch behind the coffee pot.... - zeitgeist Jul 17, 14:07 6
- Two switches for the fixture (a 3-way)? Not unusual. Odd place to put the switch, though. - TWuG Jul 17, 14:13 4
  - there are the pull chains to turn on the lights and fan, didn't realize the wall switch on the counter behind the coffee pot was connected -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 14:23 3
    - Ah. Just the single switch. No other wall switch controls it? - TWuG Jul 17, 14:26 2
      - it just seems counter intuitive when one switch flips an outside light and an inside unit -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 17, 14:54 1
        
        leave it on, control the fan with the chains, attach a motion or darkness sensor to control the outside one -- nm - zork Jul 17, 15:12
- whoops. I figured out something at my mom's was like that, too, just as they were about to call for a repair person. -- nm - b. Jul 17, 14:10
