- Thanks for this. Sent it to our ika friend priesty, for a smile. A good friend of his woke up to find his 2 yo daughter had died in her sleep. - Spawn Dec 10, 08:55 5
  - Would destroy my world if that happened to us with our 22-month old. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 08:57 2
    - Yeah, I told him I could not go on if it happened to me. I would just shut down, in every way. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:58 1

- Hell, I am surprised they aren't still using punch cards. -- nm - GregW Dec 10, 08:44 3
  - Why not, some places still use punch card voting booths -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 08:45 2
    - One-time use for tabulating is about all they are good for now. Not for storing data. -- nm - GregW Dec 10, 08:52 1

Today only: Order $50+ in Kiva gift cards, get an extra $25 to lend. -- nm - nubby Dec 10, 08:35 2
- But I guess that's not something that get permanently in our portfolio right? It's basically a free loan - Guigue Dec 10, 08:40 1
  - Yes, the money is not repaid to you. But you get $25 each time the card gets used, so this is 3 free loans for the "price" of two. -- nm - nubby Dec 10, 08:43
I was looking for the live stream of the Mandela funeral (I suppose it's over?) but I found live curling instead. KOR-JPN. My day is gone. -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:33 [youtube]

  - I think Dr. Oz is promoting these now - ex sista in law was mentioning them last night - but..if you start using, do you have to keep using them? -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 08:35 14
    - I actually use mine every day. I have bad sinuses and it just generally helps. - pmb Dec 10, 08:55 3
      - yeah, I seriously LOVE my neti pot. - groiny Dec 10, 09:04 2
        
        So you're "F" for the neti. Got it. -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 10, 09:05 1
        
        that would be a colonic. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 09:06
    - no, I use mine once a week, unless I feel something coming on. - groiny Dec 10, 08:36 9
      - my sinuses have gotten waaaay better since I started using the CPAP machine - Reagen Dec 10, 08:51 3
        
        yup, sinus infections are mainly caused by your sinuses drying out and cracking. - groiny Dec 10, 08:52 2
        
        I don't know that I had infections per set, just always clogged. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:58 1
        
        it stands to reason that you breathe in all these particles of shit - groiny Dec 10, 09:02
      - I... don't think you read the question. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:37 4
        
        no, it is not like, a daily thing. - groiny Dec 10, 08:38 3
        
        And I am sure you could stop when ever you wanted to. - Spawn Dec 10, 08:39 2
        
        you spell like you drive. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:39 1
        
        Sorry, got a little emotional.. Just feel bad but at least now we have figured out one of your problems. - Spawn Dec 10, 08:41

  - Hunger Rage. -- nm - David Dec 10, 08:33 3
    - I am really not all the hungry most of the time. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:37 2
      - I love, love that part of eating right - knock that sugar craving right out and the hunger seems to go by the way side -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 08:51 1
        
        I just like being full faster, not feeling ill after I eat too much. - groiny Dec 10, 08:54

    - absolutely yes. -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 08:35 2
      - ST Broadway trip! -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 08:36 1
        
        pass. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:39
    - me too. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 08:35
- I don;t care but they should do it in cheap marionettes ala the beginning of Team America. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:31
- Rocky Horror Picture Show - groiny Dec 10, 08:29
- Book of Mormon! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 08:28
- Rihanna & Fist Brown in 'Guys & Dolls'. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 08:28
- [deleted] 28
  - Did Diva say Grease? If so, that's the answer and she is correct. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 10, 08:39 24
    - Yes - Grease starring Taylor Swift. it has everything NBC will want. Huge fan base from Swift and popular musical where everyone knows the songs. - Diva Dec 10, 08:41 23
      - this is a great idea for NBC. man, i wonder how much they'd have to pay her. ((do we know what CU was paid?)) - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 08:56 9
        
        I kind of see Taylor as somewhat competitive. She might be into it and it's probably an easier role to act. (not sure what CU got paid.) - Diva Dec 10, 09:00 8
        
        laughing at your IM. who would be danny zucco? (the biebs is done, right? so not him.) maybe groban? - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 09:06 1
        
        i love how shadynasty that would be. maybe zac efron if he can stop doing coke long enough to rehearse. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 09:08
        
        I think you're right...that role is definitely easier than the SoM role. Rizzo is the harder role to cast/play, IMO. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 09:05 1
        
        yep - and they'd probably go with a real actress for that role. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 09:06
        
        do we think CU made a couple of hundred grand? -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 09:01 3
        
        I would think maybe a mill or more. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 09:02 2
        
        same. Alot of prep time involved -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 09:03 1
        
        a lot of time, but since NBC knows how to do this now it won't be nearly as much time as SoM took. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 09:11
      - If not that then Hugh Jackman in 'The Music Man'. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 08:43
      - It's on NBC...they could use Danielle Bradbury as Sandy and not force Taylor fucking Swift on us. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 08:43 11
        
        The formula calls for a star with an already huge fan base. There are a million women who would probably be better than Taylor, - Diva Dec 10, 08:44 10
        
        Yeah...but we don't want it to suck, do we? - Jim Dec 10, 08:46 9
        
        Sure we do! -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 08:49 4
        
        kinda. NBC admitted the social media aspect of SoM was also a win for them. - Diva Dec 10, 08:51 3
        
        but again, will it make stars reluctant to sign on? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 08:59 1
        
        it might, but if they think they are up to the task, probably not. - Diva Dec 10, 09:02
        
        "... and apologies for killing Eleanor Parker." -- nm - NBC Dec 10, 08:53
        
        quality doesn't matter as much when you have a built-in fanbase who will watch regardless -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 08:49 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 08:52
        
        NBC just wants those ratings again and she could pull them. - Diva Dec 10, 08:48 1
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 08:57
  - ML is correct. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 08:28 2
    - Diva is right about ML being right about Diva, I'm certain of it -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 10, 08:35 1
      - Yes. You are right. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 08:42

  - VICTORY! -- nm - crash davis Dec 10, 08:44

- I argue about Tyson with Tyson's #1 Fan. -- nm - David Dec 10, 08:33 1
  - Don't you mean, "Soon To Be Survivor Champ" Tyson? -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 08:34
- Ha. I can't talk either. On Sunday, I got my car attacked by a parking garage gate. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 08:32
- you could argue with a signpost. and then spawn would run it over. - Diva Dec 10, 08:23 1
  - Roads? Where we are going we don't need *roads*. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:24
- Indeed! -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:21
Sorry Wisconsin, the Snuggle House has closed. -- (link) - GregW Dec 10, 08:20 1

Ika.org - Cobra says the way is over. Now we have to decide if we agree or not. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:20 13
- I'm probably a hardliner on this but... - Mel Profit Dec 10, 08:33 5
  - I have not been pulling my weight, but I agree. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 09:02 1
    - you're fine. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 10, 09:07
  - His behavior put a number of new and novice players in the crosshairs of an overwhelmingly powerful alliance. He has been a disservice to them. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:35 1
    - agreed. - Mel Profit Dec 10, 08:51
  - Those were the original terms I set out. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:34
- Since he's pretty much admitted he just likes to fight; make a condition his generals score has to stay below 10k for a month. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 08:25 3
  - Yesterday he admitted that he had *logged in* twice. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:26 2
    - How is that possible given what actions he took? - Will Hunting Dec 10, 08:53 1
      - Not sure. gve him a hard time for that battle where he was not forged (he had claimed to always be) and that was his repsonse. - Spawn Dec 10, 09:02
- WAY! -- nm - Beak si Dec 10, 08:23
- The "war", too. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:23
- There is always a way! -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:21

- it's your b-day. go get those cookies. (and happy b-day!) -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 08:22
- know your enviroment, charlie. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:20
- it's his own fault, really. -- nm - Andie Dec 10, 08:20 8
  - right? we've been working together for three years. you would think he'd know to leave only raisin cookies unattended... -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 08:21 7
    - Who the hell even decided to make raisin cookies a thing? Seriously. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 08:21 6
      - you have never eaten my oatmeal raisin cookies! -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:22 5
