TFox, did you see the snapsite signal I put up for you last night? -- nm - zork Mar 11, 18:06 1
- No! What's up? -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 18:07
heh. I played hooky *today* -- nm - zork Mar 11, 18:04
Wait, WHAT? Sara Palin's daughter not marrying her baby daddy??? And the decision was made "a while ago"??? -- (link) - mara Mar 11, 18:04 5
- That's excellent news. The idea of them getting married solely because of the pregnancy was terrible. -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 18:04 4
  - *cocks shotgun* -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 18:05 2
    - spoilers - ty97 Mar 11, 18:06 1
      - least surprising post of the day. -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 18:07

AI spoiler: the twist is... - nubby Mar 11, 18:03 2

"Lie to Me" was good tonight. -- nm - mara Mar 11, 18:01
pot pie throwdone with Bobby Flay tonight! -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 18:01
This... is 55 minutes of unnecessary fluff followed by an overly-rushed crushing of two young people's dreams!!! -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 17:54 3
- hooray for schadenfreude! -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 11, 18:03 2
  - Ooh, that works when you sing the song! - nubby Mar 11, 18:04 1
    - see? why do you think i said it? -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 11, 18:08
"And the flowers are still standing" -- nm - eag Mar 11, 17:53

*shocked* Looks like if Biggie wins his 1st round it's not going to be by much. - Krusty Mar 11, 17:46 18
- You don't pay attention much. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:52 5
  - Oh shit. I did confuse them. - JaxSean Mar 11, 18:03 3
    - How did you just get this now? I bagged on you for it at least 11 times today. - TFox Mar 11, 18:04 2
      - Dammit. - JaxSean Mar 11, 18:06 1
        
        I remade every one hit wonder as though it was a Rakim track. It made me giggle. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 18:07
  - I saw the Eric B. confusion when I was at work. - Krusty Mar 11, 17:55
- Biggie was a mush mouth who got lucky with Diddy as a producer imo. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 17:50 9
  - and his legacy isn't hurt by the fact that he was killed. - Stephen Mar 11, 17:52 4
    - no no that's true. It's the Hendrix/Cobain thing with him. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 17:57
    - And yet Nirvana made the finals after 2 major label albums, and Biggie is in a trench war with Hitch after the same number. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:54 2
      - If I had taken part in the last one Nirvana likely wouldn't have gotten my vote either. -- nm - Stephen Mar 11, 17:58
      - Som of Nirvana's success in the voting was for the same reason Smith is getting some votes: respect for what they did for their field of music. - ty97 Mar 11, 17:55
  - See, I always thought Diddy was the lucky one -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 11, 17:52 3
    - I can see that. It certainly went both ways. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 17:56
    - [deleted]
    - *ding ding ding!* - TFox Mar 11, 17:52
- I figured I'd be the only Smith vote. - ty97 Mar 11, 17:50 1

Nathan Fillion would have greater success if he stopped wearing clothes -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 17:35 2
- so would Hayden Panitierre :) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 17:45 1
  - According to that earlier story, she nearly has. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:55
Taken: A great movie. -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 17:32 7
- I loved it. -- nm - Redmond(first ST Killzone2 night is 03/18 5PM PDT) Mar 11, 17:38
- Yes, very good. I was surprised how much I liked it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:37
- Absolutely. - Stephen Mar 11, 17:35 2
  - two things really surprised me - major spoils - Beaker Mar 11, 17:37 1
    - That's have badass he is :) -- nm - Shaun Mar 11, 18:00
- is that your grade or a full sentence? -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 11, 17:34 1
  - yes :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 17:36
Un-bold prediction: Doug, the dog from Up, is the next Hamster-in-a-ball. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 17:32 3
- Is that good or bad for the film? -- nm - not2fast Mar 11, 17:34 2
  - Hamster-in-a-ball can't be a negative. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:37 1
    - Let it begin!!!! -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 17:42
NIN fans -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 11, 17:27 [youtube]
I'm thinking that if Captain Ron applied himself, he'd be a great lead guitarist. -- nm - CQ Mar 11, 17:26
Meg...you got two emails -- nm - BAD Mar 11, 17:25 1
- And one back at you, with solution. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 11, 17:52
Oh, and did someone mention Rap Madness? Rap Madness! Round one voting open now! -- (link) - TFox Mar 11, 17:24 50
- Mine - Stephen Mar 11, 17:40 31
  - See, you're the reason Wu-Tang isn't going to win their bracket. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:44 30
    - If Wu Tang and Biggie lose in the 1st round this is a big mess. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:48 29
      - No, I think Wu-Tang loses to Eminem, which is second round. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:59
      - At the very least, I think the outcomes are going to be really interesting. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:50
      - [deleted] 26
        
        I'm sitting here shaking my head and mumbling to myself. I'm honestly shocked by some of the votes. I'm really learning a lesson about personal - Krusty Mar 11, 17:51 25
        
        I'd argue that you are in a minority of 'rap aficionados' on ST - ty97 Mar 11, 17:53 24
        
        This is totally true. What surprises us a little is that I at least figured Biggie wasnt just for "the heads". - TFox Mar 11, 17:55 23
        
        This at least justifies the Fresh Prince addition. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 18:03 2
        
        Very true. Like I said, he was one of the last ones cut. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 18:05
        
        Oh, definitely. I'm glad he's in there now since so many people seem to like him. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:04
        
        I can hardly think of anything I know by him. - ty97 Mar 11, 17:57 19
        
        That wasn't biggie that was Mya, ODB and Pras. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:58
        
        Hypnotize, Juicy, One More Chance, Big Poppa... -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:58 15
        
        From 1994-1999 I lived in College Station, TX - ty97 Mar 11, 18:01
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        oh! oh! I know Mo Money Mo Problems! - ty97 Mar 11, 18:02 4
        
        It is a rather crappy song, not even close to one his better ones. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:03 3
        
        But it's the only one that I think ever reached mainstream success in Texas. - ty97 Mar 11, 18:04 2
        
        I was agreeing with you about not liking the song. :-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:06 1
        
        The sad thing is --- I kinda liked it! - ty97 Mar 11, 18:08
        
        And Big Poppa. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 18:00 6
        
        And I've probably heard a cover of that more than the original. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 18:07
        
        Juicy, One More Chance and Who Shot Ya. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:02 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Either than or he was played on the radio a lot more here in NYC. Which is very likely. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:06 2
        
        Nah, I'm pretty sure Minnesota had the most Biggie spins. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 18:10
        
        than = that -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 18:07
        
        "Unbelievable" shows off his lyrical flow like no other song. Just sick!!! -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:59
        
        Not Biggie. :) -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:57 1
        
        See what I mean? - ty97 Mar 11, 17:58
- my (I know shit about rap) picks - ty97 Mar 11, 17:30 4
  - I can't help it but why Will Smith? I've seen him picked way too many times already. - Krusty Mar 11, 17:38 3
    - For me it was because I think Biggie was over-rated. - Stephen Mar 11, 17:48
    - [deleted]
    - His success at rap in the mainstream. - ty97 Mar 11, 17:43
- here, I'll start with my picks: - TFox Mar 11, 17:26 12
  - Am I the only one voting for KRS-One? Seems like it. :-( -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:29 2
    - That one was *also* tough. KRS-One is one of my heroes. - TFox Mar 11, 17:30 1
      - " Yes I know...and I know because of KRS-One." - Krusty Mar 11, 17:37
  - we have the same except for Cypress Hill -- nm - CQ Mar 11, 17:27 8
    - That one was tough. I kept trying to forget what a joke Cool James has turned into, and couldn't. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:28 7
      - He'd get my vote based solely on Deep Blue Sea - Stephen Mar 11, 17:44
      - Didn't he die? -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 17:41
      - And Snoop hasn't? - JaxSean Mar 11, 17:36 3
        
        No, Snoop hasn't. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:48 2
        
        oh come on, Snoop has turned into a bit of a joke lately... -- nm - Stephen Mar 11, 18:01 1
        
        He still killed when I saw him last summer. And he did "Drop It Like Its Hot" not long ago, which is pure fire. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 18:02
      - I kept thinking, "~I'll take ya to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and breakfast~" -- nm - CQ Mar 11, 17:35
In honor of Rap Madness: Amazon mp3 has some of the Def Jam back catalog at $6 an album. -- (link) - TFox Mar 11, 17:22
Rethinking what it means to be charitable. -- (link) - mara Mar 11, 17:13 1
- great piece -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:17
Well I just did my part to stimulate the economy - Stephen Mar 11, 17:11 7
- My snuggies arrived from Costco today, after bouncing once because they didn't put my unit # in the address. I'm not impressed with the - MojaveMeg Mar 11, 17:43 1
  - I've been living under mine (sick with a sinus infection I get every year when the tree pollen kills me) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 11, 18:08
- *bounces up and down* what did you get me? what did you get me? -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 17:13 4
  - Salmon - Stephen Mar 11, 17:15 3
    - Great minds think alike. I was going there in a half hour or so mainly to get that -- nm - amoxy Mar 11, 17:17 1
      - We mainly went there for diapers... - Stephen Mar 11, 17:20
    - oh cool, I love salmon and I'm not even a grizzly -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 17:15
Titanium Man, perhaps. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 16:56
A love aware? -- nm - David Mar 11, 16:50 1
- that reads like copy for a jeweler. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 16:52
I finally figured out who the female lead from Castle was reminding me of. - Reagen Mar 11, 16:50 12
- taped it and watching it now -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 17:33
- Oh, SNAP! - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 16:55 10
  - what do we think of Castle in general - I assume not good since no one discussed it - much - Epiphany Mar 11, 17:04 8
    - "You have no idea." - David Mar 11, 17:17
    - I'm happy with it and I'll keep watching. - Callisto Mar 11, 17:16 3
      - Stupid charismatic leads! -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 17:17 1
        
        In the post-House era, this is apparently a negative for some reason. - David Mar 11, 17:27
      - You mean Jason Bateman. - the liioulu with SUN!!! Mar 11, 17:17
    - I liked it and figure it will get better. - the liioulu with SUN!!! Mar 11, 17:13
    - SheFox season passed it. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 17:06 1
      - You've married well. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 11, 17:09
  - she was also just in the Librarian III -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 17:02
This would make an excellent plot point for a creepy movie. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 11, 16:48 1
- No picture! There should be a picture -- nm - the liioulu with SUN!!! Mar 11, 16:54
Just something I forgot to mention about the last two Chucks - Mmmmm, Cake. -- nm - the liioulu with SUN!!! Mar 11, 16:48 4
- Cake is Good. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 17:38
- the cake is a lie -- nm - dogbert183 Mar 11, 16:59
- C.B. is not for eating, do not compare him to cake. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 16:49 1
  - But I'd like to have Jonathon Cake. - the liioulu with SUN!!! Mar 11, 16:52
LIR Poll: Last time you called in sick/played hooky? - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 16:46 9
- "I can't come in today, it hurts when I pee." But really - stomach bug. -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 17:39
- I haven't called in sick since my heart problem emergency room trip 3 years ago. So, hooky has to be at least 4 years or more. -- nm - Redmond(first ST Killzone2 night is 03/18 5PM PDT) Mar 11, 17:38
- Never. -- nm - mara Mar 11, 17:14
- I called in on Monday, I said I had stomach virus. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 17:13
- I actually can not remember - it's been years -- nm - Epiphany Mar 11, 17:05
- I legitimately called in sick in December, I think. - Callisto Mar 11, 17:03
- I can't remember. -- nm - CQ Mar 11, 16:50
- Never from work, but I skipped class two or three times in college. - Jelly Mar 11, 16:49
- Never! That would be crazy in this economy, and I don't know who that impostor on B2 is who said otherwise. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 16:46
