  - I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing -- nm - zuitgusto Jun 25, 23:22
  - Oh, I wasn't clear. Just looking for snappy headline suggestions. The body is mostly fine. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 25, 22:45 2
    - Ohhhh *lightbulb overhead grows brighter* -- nm - JenBro Jun 25, 22:47 1
      - Post what you wrote ...might help get a solid headline! -- nm - JenBro Jun 25, 22:51
LIR (again) Ty97!!! Thanks for the update on your brother ... I thought he had a girlfriend mentioned in the past, hence my surprise. So cool he's - JenBro Jun 25, 22:02 2

- Weird - it's telling me I don't have permission to view your photo Meg - had to update my Flickr first too. Maybe it's just me? -- nm - JenBro Jun 25, 22:17 2
  - Argh, Flickr changed their page layout again today. I'm sure that was a public album but I know there are features that are not active. - Meg Jun 25, 22:24 1
    - not to be an old "get off my lawn" person ... but sometimes? Change sux! Just sayin' -- nm - JenBro Jun 25, 22:30
Quick question for people who still watch TV news: is there any obsession with the Shumaker/Morgan/Dotson recoveries? - Beryllium Jun 25, 21:01 8
- There was huge coverage of Tracy Morgan for several days, not much on the others. - GregW Jun 25, 21:31
- It's the dilution of celebrity. Head injuries are much too insignificant in our 24 hour news culture. -- nm - Mop on iPad Air Jun 25, 21:24
- (someone who does not watch TV news): what? who? how? - ty97 Jun 25, 21:03 5
  - Michael Schumaker has a major head injury. Tracy Morgan got hit by a semi. Dan Dotson (storage wars auctioneer) - double brain aneurism. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 21:09 4
    - I had no idea about Schumaker (but if not for Cars, I might never have known the name). -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:10 3
      - I knew the name, but I still confuse it with Shoemaker-Levy 9 :-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 21:17 2
        
        F- that thing. -- nm - Jupiter Jun 25, 21:18 1
        
        heh -- nm - mud Jun 25, 21:58
In New York City, parents do not have the right to send their unvaccinated kids to school if another student has a vaccine-preventable illness. -- (link) - ty97 Jun 25, 20:59
yeah that Flash pilot is pretty damn good. damn good. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:44 9
- Did the time just speed by? -- nm - amoxy Jun 25, 21:03 1
  - Over in the blink of an eye. -- nm - .... Jun 25, 21:04
- Directed by the same guy who did the Red Wedding. - David Jun 25, 20:46 6
  - Good god get Nutter on a WB Super Hero film stat -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:48 5
    - So, is it more Green Arrow drivel, or is it really trying to be something? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 20:53 2
      - It's a lot of Ed talking. TV has missed that. -- nm - David Jun 25, 21:01 1
        
        Yeah, it started a few steps up with his inclusion. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:03
    - ha! he worked on Superboy in the early 90's. and directed the pilot for Smallville. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 20:53 1
      - The Flash is the 7th pilot he's directed for CW/WB. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 25, 22:06
And here is, at least in part, why Black Dems came out for Cochran in MS -- (link) - ty97 Jun 25, 20:30
FWP.....I have a Rubbermaid storage tote I've used for a camp kitchen box for a good 15 years...it's died :( - Meg Jun 25, 20:21 20
- Partially related: When I grew up (old man post warning), Tupperware was serious quality for-life stuff. - ty97 Jun 25, 20:25 8
  - Sure, but instead of 30 bucks for a lettuce holder now you can get 4 containers for 3 bucks. -- nm - Ender Jun 25, 20:53 4
    - That epitomizes the Tupperware problem - ty97 Jun 25, 20:56 3
      - Have you noticed fastfood trays? They used to be sturdy enough totake a bullet. Now they are so thin the weight of the food bends them. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:14
      - I'm starting to look for a new refrigerator and can't believe how flimsy the shelves and drawer are. -- nm - Meg Jun 25, 21:13 1
        
        B- But I just found a $35 vacuum cleaner today and was thrilled how perfect it was. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 21:59
  - Heh, I have Tupperware going back to...?....the 70s? And CorningWare pre-dating that. -- nm - Meg Jun 25, 20:34 2
    - My parents do too and I hope to inherit it - ty97 Jun 25, 20:36 1
      - The vintage Corning is a lot better than the new. -- nm - .... Jun 25, 21:04
- Not sure what features you need, but if the answer is "a rubber bin with a lid", they have those at Walmart. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 20:24 10
  - Yep, looked at those. Most of them are bigger than I need and one that I liked had a row of little holes under the handles. - Meg Jun 25, 20:32 9
    - Is the corpse gone or could you take a pic? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 20:55
    - This is what I'm looking for - I know just how my stuff fits in this... -- (link) - Meg Jun 25, 20:41 7
      - So, tris? -- (link) - Ender Jun 25, 20:57 6
        
        "this" -- nm - Ender Jun 25, 20:59 5
        
        Yes, but I'm not yet ready to pay $14 for it :) -- nm - Meg Jun 25, 21:11 4
        
        I think we have a purple one of those. Let me look around tomorrow night after work and see what it's status is. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:13 3
        
        Eh, I'm sure I'll find something. I just get pissed when something that's part of my life dies and it's no longer available :/ - Meg Jun 25, 21:21 2
        
        Yeah, not a fan of change. - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 21:22 1
        
        You know I appreciate the offer but that's really more than the thing's worth. I'll cope :) -- nm - Meg Jun 25, 21:37
Does the US Men's team advance tomorrow even if they lose? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 25, 20:19 8
- if GHA - POR ends in a draw yes -- nm - Dándukini Jun 25, 20:30 7
  - Regardless of USA - GER outcome, a GHA win over POR is the most worrisome other outcome. -- nm - ty97 Jun 25, 20:36 6
    - Only if the US loses do they have to worry about Ghana (I think) -- nm - Jovian Jun 25, 20:37 5
      - a US draw is highly unlikely to be enogh is GHA wins also -- nm - Dándukini Jun 25, 20:39 1
        
        Actually, if I'm reading the chart linked below correctly, if Ghana wins, by any score, a USA draw against GER puts the USA through. -- nm - IrishStephen Jun 25, 22:50
      - Right, but the US is likely to lose so... -- nm - ty97 Jun 25, 20:38 2
        
        if they put Klose in he's gonna try almost everything he can to make a goal -- nm - Dándukini Jun 25, 20:43

- Does that mean the pilot for The Flash is really good? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 25, 19:40 2
  - My guy who saw it is just over the moon about it. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 25, 20:06
  - Fairly good but with a moment of pure greatness. -- nm - David Jun 25, 20:01
