  - charlie and I debated regular vs DS for like ten minutes in the aisle at target. I decided on regular. (note: these are golden oreos.) -- nm - starfish & coffee Jun 12, 11:26 3
    - Did you know about Megstuffs? they're DS x 2. - Mel Profit Jun 12, 11:28 2
      - I should try this. both of this (the premade and the homemade). jz's older daughter is really into my snack obsession, so always wants to - starfish & coffee Jun 12, 11:32 1
        
        I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on Megastuff's vs DS x 2. I swear they tastes different. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 12, 11:35
- you can eat 9, as long as you have to reload between bites. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:17

apropos of nothing - i can't believe Jupiter Ascending keeps going up in price. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 11:07 4
- Yeah, I got killed on that. I think I shorted it when the delay hit, and made 800k initially. - Inigo Jun 12, 11:09 2
  - At least some of the jump was probably profit-taking. February is generally such a dumping ground. -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 11:26
  - Me too. I'm still holding onto it for spite -- nm - Pippy Jun 12, 11:24
- I vote that it should be renamed Jupiter Descending. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 11:08
Whew, I think all outstanding vacation disasters have been resolved...and you thought the 24 hour trip home was the worst? :) - Meg Jun 12, 10:59 6
- awesome. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 12, 11:13
- which part did your grand daughter like most? -- nm - JenBro Jun 12, 11:01 4
  - Hard to tell with teenagers.....probably a toss-up between her spa visit and the horseback excursion. - Meg Jun 12, 11:04 3
    - well it for sure won't be something she ever forgets! hey? I'm on calendar to dog sit for my brother at the Lake on September 8th - 10th - wanna - JenBro Jun 12, 11:08 2
      - Sounds like it would be fun but i'm committed to the Utah trip in early August. Sometime I have to stay home and do 'stuff' :( -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 11:14 1
        
        read: Keep the Crew in line. - Mel Profit Jun 12, 11:32
after going to the White Sox game here last night, it is a crying shame more people do not go to that park here. - groiny Jun 12, 10:58 7
- Who has time to consistently go to baseball games thru the week? - Shaun Jun 12, 11:05 2
  - oh, it is undersold for every game, even weekends. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:06 1
    - Was the same in TO, unless the Sox or Yanks were in town or it was an 'event' game, like Cal Ripken's last ever game in TO, which I was at :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 12, 11:08

  - It's a conspiracy to stop people from saying that being in that division is the easy way in to the playoffs -- nm - zork Jun 12, 11:02 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I am not so sure they are underachieving. - groiny Jun 12, 11:06
[deleted] 2
- that is damn good -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 11:06
- that`s the best thing, ever. (the New Orleans Swamp Donkeys, heh) -- nm - mud Jun 12, 10:59
The best use of Johnny Cash in TV this season. MAJOR POI spoilers -- link -- (link) - Beaker Jun 12, 10:53 [youtube] 2
- I think I watched that POI intro about 10 times - so, so good -- nm - decline Jun 12, 11:02
- I don't have to click it to know what it is. Which is good, because my wireless headphones ran out of juice. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:56
Diva, Pippy, MDH, etc.: If you're unsure of your picks for the soccer pool, here is Vogue's list of the most attractive players -- (link) - zork Jun 12, 10:53 44
- I'm sold after the first guy. Haaaaaaaaay -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 11:08
- as to the size of magazine thing, one of the recent shooters was stopped while he was changing magazines. - zork Jun 12, 10:56 40
  - ONE of them, sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 10:58 38
    - ....and that's a bad thing? -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 11:00 35
      - offs. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:00 34
        
        well, you were so dismissive of the idea as being "just a speed bump"... - znufrii Jun 12, 11:02 33
        
        that is like cutting down lung cancer by putting 4 less cigarettes in a pack. -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:04 1
        
        Why didn't I think of that? -- nm - Bloomberg Jun 12, 11:07
        
        if the purpose is "look, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING!!!!" -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:02 30
        
        given the inability to take more substantive action in the face of relentless political opposition from the NRA, et al., I'll take speed bumps. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 11:06 29
        
        so congrats on that, your killer was only able to shoot and kill 9 instead of 12. - groiny Jun 12, 11:07 28
        
        You seem to be waiting for someone to come up with the 100% total fix solution before doing anything. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:28 1
        
        that is not true, I am saying that, again, a person with multiple clips - groiny Jun 12, 11:31
        
        [deleted] 19
        
        because you argue that an armed bystander shooting at the gunman MIGHT hit someone not intended to be shot..... - groiny Jun 12, 11:24 18
        
        less deaths are better, yes. - Reagen Jun 12, 11:30 17
        
        you could have zero people dead if an armed citizen gets the shooter first. - groiny Jun 12, 11:32 16
        
        [deleted]
        
        as we've recently seen, that scenario is more likely to end with one more dead citizen. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:33 5
        
        small sample size. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:35 4
        
        You're off in Rambo Fantasy Land. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:36 3
        
        if a gunman has to stop to deal with another shooter, doesn't it make sense that - groiny Jun 12, 11:38 2
        
        again, experience shows us otherwise. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 11:41
        
        There are hundreds of millions of guns in the US and shooters are *not* being stopped. This argument is fallacy -- nm - zork Jun 12, 11:41
        
        that's a pretty big if. - znufrii Jun 12, 11:33 5
        
        BUT IT IS POSSIBLE! -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:34 4
        
        a lot of things are possible. - znufrii Jun 12, 11:36 3
        
        but, you said you are fine with speedbumps! -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:36 2
        
        Because speed bumps, by design, mitigate risk by controlling behavior, they don't add to it. - znufrii Jun 12, 11:38 1
        
        no, speed bumps are there to cause something or someone to pause. - groiny Jun 12, 11:40
        
        why would he shoot the person if they hadn't shot anyone? -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 11:33 2
        
        shot, not killed. the gunmen do not have a 1 to 1 shot to kill ratio. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:34 1
        
        neither does a would=be heroic bystander returning fire -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 11:44
        
        please read what you just posted -- nm - zork Jun 12, 11:10 2
        
        oh, I know full well that I posted. - groiny Jun 12, 11:11 1
        
        i think the point in both cases is "less people dead = good". -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 11:13
        
        those 3 people that didn't die are probably pretty pleased about it. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 11:09
        
        offs. - znufrii Jun 12, 11:09 1
        
        you guys are funny. -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:09
    - You'd rather that he hadn't been stopped? Why do you want people to have larger magazines? -- nm - zork Jun 12, 10:59 1
      - I don't. but in most cases, the guy with the assault rife is not close enough to people to be maced while reloading. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 12, 11:00
  - wrong thread, dammit. -- nm - zork Jun 12, 10:56
- buh - ummm...wha? -- nm - Diva Jun 12, 10:54 1
  - just in case, that's part of anyone's criteria for choosing and after I saw your post on B2 I noticed that you haven't joined - zork Jun 12, 10:58
Yeah, it was cloudy today. Didn't stop us from beaching it. Who needs a napper? -- nm - Captain Sideshank and the Rebellious 3 Jun 12, 10:52
oh, and just a note, not to anyone in particular, re: the "paranoid" comments.... - groiny Jun 12, 10:52 2
- I have a different perspective as well. Things I've seen, things I know. - Pippy Jun 12, 11:28 1
  - Things you wouldn't understand. Things you couldn't understand. Things you *shouldn't* understand. -- nm - Pee-wee Jun 12, 11:40
ok - I back boarded but maybe missed it - Amanda - did you see the house? if yes - how was it? -- nm - JenBro Jun 12, 10:51

- *kisses & a quick grope* -- nm - JenBro Jun 12, 10:51
*breaks something* Is this broken? -- nm - Evil Edna T. Mode Jun 12, 10:49 7
- It's just one of those days -- nm - Fred Durst Jun 12, 10:58
- The whole bit we invented of her... - Mel Profit Jun 12, 10:52 1
  - that was a lot of fun. -- nm - Diva Jun 12, 10:55
- Come on down to Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium -- nm - Edna Boil Jun 12, 10:52
- I think I could love that. But they'd need to put a Nice Person on the panel at that point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 12, 10:51 2
  - but she kinda was nice! her trouble making was just a little on the subversive side! -- nm - Diva Jun 12, 10:53 1
    - good point...it was like Yoda rummaging around in the X-Wing at the beginning of the scenes at Dagaba. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 12, 10:54
Has anyone seen The Raid sequel yet? Has it been released? -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 10:49 1
- Yes and yes. Its great but long. -- nm - LMS Jun 12, 11:37
Boobzilla! -- nm - Imperator Jun 12, 10:48 4
- *suddenly pictures weird Al re-doing the BOC lyrics* -- nm - JenBro Jun 12, 10:53
- We're really dredging the bottom of the barrel for apocalypse scenarios, aren't we? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 10:49 2
  - the bottom would be Buttzilla and that apocalypse has come and gone. -- nm - Diva Jun 12, 10:50 1
    - But what? Everyone I know has a big "But"! C'mon, Diva, let's talk about *your* big "But". -- nm - Pee-wee Jun 12, 11:41
