    - Oh, cool....no, I didn't say a word to her. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 15:29 1
      - It's in a much bigger case, with the COA. - kelly Mar 9, 15:30

Moment of truth: Went to get the mail and somebody sent $110 in cash instead of a check - amoxy Mar 9, 15:18
Yesterday I tried a netti pot for the first time when my seasonal allergies ramped up. It took some getting used to and I had more success yesterday - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 15:17 8
- I need to try this -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 15:32
- It's good. I find the relief immediate, but it doesn't last all day. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 15:22 1
  - I should market portable, single-use ones with a squeeze-nozzle system like I detail below. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 15:37
- That's pretty much what everybody says. I wish I could do it. I've been on allergy pills for 3-4 weeks now. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 15:18 4
  - Yes, when it comes to allergy pills I try to not take them until this time of year so I don't develop tolerance etc. but this year I wanted a new - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 15:20 3
    - Everybody who can stand to do it ought be to be doing it, from what I've read. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 15:21 2
      - LYC/FWIW: Rather than buying a miniature teapot thing, I just bought a $0.89 sports drink with a nozzle top. - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 15:26 1
        
        I went looking for "redneck neti pot" on google images to find an image for this, but all I found was ... - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:36
Okay, I'm basically redoing the front 'flower bed' at my house. Soil is crap and packed and all that garbage - Will Hunting Mar 9, 15:15 6
- You probably do need to remove some dirt completely (around here it's like clay), but I've never taken out that much. Maybe 6 inches, then nice black - mara Mar 9, 15:20 5
  - Okay. What level? do you put any of that weed blanket crap? - Will Hunting Mar 9, 15:22 4
    - Ugh, the weed barrier is such a dilemma. I hate it, because it makes it so difficult to plant new things or move old things around. But if you don't - mara Mar 9, 15:28 3
      - Okay...thanks. Looks like a fun weekend ahead. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 15:30 2

- Has the misses ever had you get some femine products? -- nm - amoxy Mar 9, 15:37
- this is when you grab some stuff you don't need. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 15:13 8
  - Or grab one more item to really push home the implied image... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:21 3
    - a tool of some sort -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 15:23 2
      - right...like an Electric Toothbrush... -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:25 1
        
        ...or crowbar. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 15:25

Slow board. OK, I will say something else about The Sopranos - con_carne Mar 9, 15:06 14
- Blech. -- nm - kelly Mar 9, 15:40
- One of the eeriest scenes I have ever seen (spoils) - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 15:14 1
  - That was early on (spoils) - con_carne Mar 9, 15:20

  - I was just going to link this... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:11 1
    - Heh, thanks. That was a total phonetic approximation. - con_carne Mar 9, 15:13
- *laughing* -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:07 3
  - you have to admit, it makes *no* sense. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 15:10 2
    - I don't know if they ever went into the genealogy of Tony's family but... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:15 1
      - There's a chapter in Outliers about why it's *always* the mountain folk that end up crazy. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 15:16
Will/ Other ACC Bball fans: Pretty funny Greg Paulus video - MDH Mar 9, 14:54 [youtube] 1
- I give it a 61 on the Dano homophobia scale. -- nm - Dano Mar 9, 15:09
WWE to induct Koko B. Ware into the Hall of Fame. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 14:46 23
- That's like putting Edgar Martinez in the HOF. -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 9, 15:16
- So at this point the plan is just to induct everyone? -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 14:50 13
  - Doink! Come on down! -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 15:00
  - Seriously. And somehow, Macho Man isn't anywhere close to associated with this. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 14:59 11
    - He, uh, "broke in StephanieMac" if you believe the rumors. -- nm - David Mar 9, 15:07 5
      - I'd watch that. -- nm - Todd Manning Mar 9, 15:17
      - Oh, I know the rumors....this is the part where Vince needs to actually be a caretaker to the business he owns instead of this. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 15:12
      - Seriously? That's amazing. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 15:11
      - in the backseat, if you catch my drift. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 15:08 1
        
        Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 15:10
    - Whatever happened to Macho Man? I just saw that scene from Spider-Man last night and was thinking I haven't heard his name in a long time. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 15:06 2
      - he released a rap cd (Be A Man Hogan, a classic). Showed up on TNA a few times and does some acting roles here and there. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 15:08 1
        
        ...and looks like Charlie Daniels brother... -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 9, 15:30
    - yeah that will never happen after what Macho did. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 15:05
    - Vince's show. He's gotta kiss the ring first. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 15:04
- Really, Koko B Ware? - Will Hunting Mar 9, 14:47 7
  - I think an argument could be made to a certain extent. He was certainly one of the most recognizable WWFers during the 80's when they exploded. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 14:55 3
    - The guy had a parrot. Unrecognizability would be a pretty hard fail. -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 15:02
    - But he was basically a high end jobber. He was recognizable but nowhere near the top of the game. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 15:02 1
      - very true. He was the 1st one to take a Tombstone from the Undertaker and teamed with Owen Hart in the team High Energy. Otherwise he hasn't done much -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 15:10
  - yeah. I know. But if this gets him a nice payday then I'm for it, but it won't be broadcast on USA though. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 14:52 2
    - He will be inducted by the Brooklyn Brawler. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 14:54 1
      - HA! I still remember Brawler's win over HHH. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 14:56
3 days later, TT is back. -- nm - not2fast Mar 9, 14:46
Neat Economist graph showing how "Feel good politics/Ridiculous basis of public policy" banning bottled water is. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 14:40 17
- Now that is a good photo. Bery, some good camera took that shot. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 15:02 4
  - Some of it is good, but there's a bit of noise in the saucer towards the bottom of the image -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:03 3
    - Photo snob. I like it, so there :) -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 15:06 1
      - naw, I'm a noise snob :) I hate getting speckles in my photos. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:15
    - (If I had money to devote to photographic hardware, I'd have a DSLR with a kit of lenses, but I don't :)) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 15:04
- I'm not a fan of banning it as it serves *some* purpose, but I do think it's extremely silly. - Reagen Mar 9, 14:59
- I don't think that graph is showing that, since the main problem with bottled water is the plastic, and the graph doesn't address plastic. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 14:48 9
  - Yeah, true enough, though if you ban bottle water for the plastic, doesn't it logically follow that other drinks should be addressed as well? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 14:54 7
    - I haven't seen this come up on ST, so for non-Canadians -- (link) - Alan More Mar 9, 14:56
    - Only if the majority of consumers also have soda running out of faucets in their home. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 14:56 4
      - everyone lives at McD ? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:59
      - Anecdotally, I once heard that was part of Coca-Cola's mission statement, or something like that -- nm - Alan More Mar 9, 14:57 2
        
        I would like a soda fountain in my house. I looked into it once, but most of them seemed overpriced and expensive to maintain. Someone needs to make - Beryllium Mar 9, 14:59 1
        
        There are tons of sites out there that show how to make relatively-cheap home carbonation systems, but integrating the syrup is prob'ly tougher. - Dr.Vermin Mar 9, 15:35
    - use recyckle plastic bottles (one dollar each) -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:55
  - well atleast the graph is neat still -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:52
- everyone knowes bottled water comes from nothing -- nm - danedukenuuk Mar 9, 14:44
enjoy -- (link) - marcel Mar 9, 14:37 1

Qale: Gail Kim alert...she'll be starring in a movie as an assassin.... - Remlik Mar 9, 14:34 6
- Yah she was using posters for it to sign at D*Con, but charged 10 bucks for them. I don't get why Gail Kim is going to Smackdown. They should send her - Qale Mar 9, 14:43 4
  - I think they want her to build up the Smackdown division. -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 14:44 3
    - In a world of blondes... One Asian Assassin stands out. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 14:51 2
      - Academy Award Nominee's Pat Morita (in his last role) and Eric ROberts also star! -- nm - Remlik Mar 9, 14:58 1
        
        My first thought "Pat Morita died? That's so sad" My second thought "He died in 2005? Huh?" -- nm - Alan More Mar 9, 15:00
- A naked assassin? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 14:38
SITWAP: Two key Republican Senators suggest it may be time to let big banks fail. -- (link) - TaurusII Mar 9, 14:33 13
- It's a stupid idea. And honestly the problem with the whole "the banks need to act like banks and start lending again" is at this point not really - pmb Mar 9, 14:53 3
  - there's a lot of people out there that just want things to go back to how they were in August. Nagannhappen. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 14:59 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - a.k.a. the Carter strategy -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 15:07
- I'll all for letting them fair and the shareholders taking a beating... except now WE'RE SHAREHOLDINGS!!! -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 14:46
- [deleted]
- I get the feeling that a lot of people want the economy to crash to the ground, then rebuild -- nm - amoxy Mar 9, 14:42 1
  - You gotta hit rock bottom! -- nm - Rehab Vermin Mar 9, 14:52
- What does that even mean...when small banks fail the FDIC shows up and runs the show - Stewie Mar 9, 14:37 4
  - but they are going to go broke soon - so they said. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 14:42 3
    - they are backed in full by the U.S. government already -- nm - Stewie Mar 9, 14:44 2
      - What's your point. On the one hand you say; if they fail, guess who has to pick up the bill. And on the other hand, even though they are currently - Loyola Mar 9, 14:53
      - Banks do much more than hold people's money. They make sure cash is flowing smoothly through the economy -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 14:48
Where's that confounded bridge? -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 14:32 1
- We're still waiting for the infrastructure funding. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 9, 14:33
