- My first round - con_carne Mar 3, 11:41
- I like Foo Fighters or U2 for the win. -- nm - Trish Mar 3, 11:37 9
  - I would say U2 because they'll be helped by having a new album out. -- nm - Dano Mar 3, 11:41 1
    - That's why I think they'll be (and also they deserve to be) on of the winners. But FF are just inherently cool and are very fan friendly. - Trish Mar 3, 11:45
  - word -- nm - Spawn Mar 3, 11:39
  - I'd like U2 for the win more if it wasn't caller voting, and it wasn't a college station (although one with a huge non-college audience). -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 11:38 4
    - Mine - Loyola Mar 3, 11:43 1
      - Bah, that looked better when I typed it. -- nm - Loyola Mar 3, 11:44
    - I was going to say, this might skew young, since it's a call-in to judge the "winner" -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 11:39 1
      - But, to be clear, I'd rather people do it not as "who will win", but "who should win". - TFox Mar 3, 11:41

- 98. (What the hell is La Sonnambula? Sounds like a sleep aid.) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 11:33 8
  - 1830 bel canto opera by Bellini, lit. "The Sleepwalker", a malady which the entire flimsy excuse for a plot revolves around. - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:37 4

CNN should ditch Dobbs and put Cafferty in his place. That is all. -- nm - TWuG Mar 3, 11:25 5
- with the Beaver Brown Band on backup? -- nm - Dano Mar 3, 11:30
- It would be a much richer and rewarding action if he were replaced with Rick Sanchez. -- nm - Mop Mar 3, 11:28 3
  - Rick Sanchez should be shot and left for dead on some back-country road. - TWuG Mar 3, 11:29 1
    - I believe that's the subject ofhis next expose. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 11:30
  - and then light the set on fire? -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 11:29

Pearl Jam Ten heading back into the studio with Brenden O'Brien -- (link) - Remlik Mar 3, 11:14 10
- more interesting if it were Conan O'Brien -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:20
- This is going to be an awesome year for Pearl Jam fans. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 11:18
- ugh. was i naive to think Pearl Jam would avoid the route of being so washed up they had to reissue albums? -- nm - Guy Mar 3, 11:17 7
  - *bad stare* -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 11:19 4
    - i hate reissues with a passion. part of my PJ affections were that they werent predictable, but theyve become just that. -- nm - Guy Mar 3, 11:22 3
      - have you seen the material they're talking about? - Mel Profit Mar 3, 11:25 2

    - I still say, once you've heard the O'Brien remixed versions on rearviewmirror, it is impossible to not be excited about this. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 11:30
LIR: by sending the email though you are projecting it into *my* workspace -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:11 15

      - *high-fives zork* -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:21 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        to tell you the truth - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:23 1
        
        what logic? people are individuals, work should be neutral, and the two should be kept as separate as possible. -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:26
    - but how does that materially differ from an email? By appearing in your field of vision they are entering your workspace -- nm - Alan More Mar 3, 11:20 7
      - an email is communication. If it's not company related, it goes. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 11:23 2
        
        In theory, sure, but in practice it doesn't always work out that way, and it's not always clear why one type of religious expression (eg attire) - Alan More Mar 3, 11:39 1
        
        because email carries the weight of sanction by a company where clothing doesn't. - Reagen Mar 3, 11:42
      - that is their person. an email is work and (as Reagen says) should be neutral of these things. -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:22 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        yes, but the company will do what it thinks is right for its employees and clients. whether someone challenges it in court and is made to change is .. - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:38 1

- change different in the IM to elitist -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:12 10
  - nah, accusing people of being elitist is so 2008 - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:13 9
    - the desire to be different and individual is very, very, depressingly, mundanely normal - Alan More Mar 3, 11:14 8
      - which is why I gave up being punk in the 80s. To be different, I had to dress like everyone else who was different. -- nm - Ozorkmandias Mar 3, 11:19
      - [deleted] 1
        
        you would. -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:19
      - Which means to be "normal" you should try very, very hard to be "different." -- nm - TWuG Mar 3, 11:16 4
        
        I think the whole idea of what is or is not "normal" is a completely irrelevant concept. -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:20 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        again, completely irrelevant. -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 11:24
