- With that SoD, the next war is sure to have a kick-ass soundtrack. - TWuG Oct 27, 08:36

- It's clear by the text that he meant "black". -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 08:36
- Good article, though. That chart, alone, blows a hole through the Bradley Effect. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 08:36

    - Oh, a joke about a story I don't remember. Got it. So you will see her next week then? - TFox Oct 27, 08:34 1

- This one. Because the tea bags are pyramids! -- (link) - TWuG Oct 27, 08:35 1
  - These are fantastic teas. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:39
- taylors of harrowgate. it just looks and sounds fancy. - mafic Oct 27, 08:31
- Anything in the crazy gypsy tin!! But really? Taylors of Harrogate. It just sounds like the proper earl grey. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 08:30
- there have to be better flavours than Earl Grey -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:30 4
  - that's what kind I drink. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:35 3
    - sweetie, you must try some other flavs! OMG, i tried some estate ones and african stuff that just blows away EG (although I do like Eng. and Irish - zork Oct 27, 08:39 1
      - A preference for Earl Grey doesn't indicate inexperience with other teas. I've tried lots, but EG is my "comfort tea." - TWuG Oct 27, 08:43

So, my friend was just here complaining that "World of Warcraft" made changes over the weekend. Apparently the players are pissed off. - Amy Oct 27, 08:23 13
- What WoW changes occurred. I stopped playing last month and haven't seen any news. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 08:37 1
  - A quick read of the forums shows they're doing some type of plague infestation - Brian Oct 27, 08:40
- What they did is simultaneously incredibly cool and incredibly aggravating at the same time. -- nm - Tim Oct 27, 08:33
- they should all visit HSX to see what pissed off players mean -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 27, 08:31 3
  - there's 10 million of 'em! they'll crash the servers!....nm - x Oct 27, 08:35 2
    - and the reserve would run out of schmoozing money instantly -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 27, 08:36
    - You could likely drop the million from your post and be just as accurate. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 27, 08:36

I had a weird dream this morning. - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 08:22 1
- And then they handed you their wackiest sci-fi political satire notes, and you have new talking points for the week? - TFox Oct 27, 08:23
Most weekday mornings I wake up just before my alarm which I'm okay with. Today the alarm woke me and it took 10 seconds before my brain reminded - HdnAgnda Oct 27, 08:18 2
- I woke up this morning (before the alarm) convinced it was Tuesday (when I have a weekly early meeting), and I was going to be late. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 27, 08:23
- I had a dream last night where I fell asleep in my dream and when I woke up I wasn't sure what day it was. When I really woke up I was quite confused -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 08:19
Why didn't anyone tell me 32" TVs were so BIG?! - Mop Oct 27, 08:17 4
- wireless keyboard and mouse, dont sit at the desk -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:21 2
  - I actually intended to use it as my PC monitor. I'm gonna go blind! And not from that /other/ thing. - Mop Oct 27, 08:23 1
    - and you're going to hurt your neck from craning back and forth -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:25
- hang it on the wall -- nm - decline Oct 27, 08:21

- Some time off would be good for you. -- nm - lileve Oct 27, 08:17 7
  - Go to Aruba if you can, it's amazing. Fly jetblue and stay at Paulines. - lileve Oct 27, 08:18 6
    - just saw an ad for 4 nights at Breezes in Nassau for 499 plus 226 taxes -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:24 5
      - Is Nassau independent or does a country own it? Aruba takes American dollars! PS, I am googling it! - lileve Oct 27, 08:30 4
        
        If you're going to Nassau, there is only one place to stay. Atlantis. And don't bother visiting Nassau proper, it's a pit. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 08:41 1
        
        Arbua is not as sad. Later in life I hope to have a house down there. -- nm - lileve Oct 27, 08:42
        
        Nassau is in the Bahamas -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 08:32 1
        
        Nassau, Freeport, and Bimini are parts of the Bahamas. take US dollars (have their own currency) but are part of the British Commonwealth. No language - zork Oct 27, 08:34

I'm in class (brand management). it's a full house, sixty people. this is supposed to be one of the best classes in the program. - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:11 15
- "could Homer have made it this far without the engineered nutrition of six kinds of apples? " - mafic Oct 27, 08:17 1
  - "Hmm. Deng Xiaopeng died." -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:17
- Sounds like the professor has established a great but undeserved brand for his class. -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 08:15 3
  - he has brand confusion. he refers to himself as "uncle ralphie" and signs email "ralph" but freaks out if we don't address him as dr. oliva. what?? -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:21 1
    - Gender confusion, too. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 08:24
  - *golf clap* -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:17
- "Halima"? -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 08:15
- well, there IS a catch... you will all get branded before you leave -- nm - Cowboy Co-teacher Oct 27, 08:15
- take you clothes off and talk about the mandy brand -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:14
- But if you're shopping for brand name merchandise then you're actually participating, see? -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 08:13 5
  - I'm laughing. I'm shopping for tea and can't decide between stash and bigelow. stash is prettier and has a cooler name but bigelow tastes better. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:14 4
    - Put the bigelow in a stash box. -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 08:18
    - Extra credit if you buy based on branding over quality. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 27, 08:17 1
      - it's weird how aware I am of why I buy now. "the box is prettier." -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 27, 08:20
    - in the end the taste (and aroma) is what actually satisfies you -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:15
ST Poll -- is anyone planning on watching the Obama informercial this Wednesday? - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 08:10 7
- Try to catch it -- nm - amoxy Oct 27, 08:26
- I may still be volunteering for him at that time but I hope to catch some. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 27, 08:15

zork - reactionary much? cans of air are compressed air, not an aerosol. - colin Oct 27, 08:04 19
- and most vacuums come with attachments for lower velocity cleaning (drapes, etc) -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:17
- but compressed air can deposit moisture and propellant debris, which can be equally damaging. -- nm - mafic Oct 27, 08:10
- Technically, they just move the dust somewhere else. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 08:07 1
  - out of the case :) -- nm - colin Oct 27, 08:07
- but the manufacturing process for them is a waste of resources in comparison - zork Oct 27, 08:06 12
  - why? the can's are metal and completely recyclable. cramming air into a can doesn't do any harm. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 08:07 10
    - just MAKING the can, the energy to recycle the can, the fact that probably not every can gets recycled, the cost of buying it when you have a vaccuum - Danger Girl Oct 27, 08:09 7
      - but what about the production of the vacuum? -- nm - decline Oct 27, 08:13 6
        
        Won't somebody please think about the children?!?! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 08:15
        
        presumably you're not buying a vaccum just to clean your computer. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:15 4
        
        but anyone using a regular vacuum to clean a computer is not very smart - decline Oct 27, 08:16 3
        
        use the attachments that usually come with it, duh. -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:18 2
        
        that's equally bad. the suction power of a normal vacuum is way to powerful -- nm - decline Oct 27, 08:19 1
        
        as I said a ways above, they usually have attachement that give a lower airflow -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:27
    - argh, the energy used to make, load, and transport the cans is a waste IMO in this case -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:08 1
      - Wouldn't having to build/transport a new computer (when you've detroyed yours by "dusting" it) take more? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 08:10
  - your face is a waste of resources -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:07
- and dusters build up static electricity, which can discharge and damage computer components. -- nm - colin Oct 27, 08:05 1
  - depends on the materials used -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:09
Palin has local reporter submit questions ahead of time for pre-clearance. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 27, 08:03 21
- When she's in charge of the Senate she'll make this a law. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 08:11
- I wonder what happens if you submit questions and ask different ones. -- nm - mafic Oct 27, 08:06 7
  - Have you seen her field dress a reporter? Not pretty. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 27, 08:23
  - You die. -- nm - GOP Ninjas Oct 27, 08:16
  - She'll have to "get back to you". -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 08:13
  - She'll either go to the next question or answer as if you asked the submitted question. What a maverick. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 08:08 1
    - Like having all the answers to an exam ahead of time and then accidently skipping one. Answer #2 = Question #3. -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 08:28
  - then you get a comment like "I wish you had given me this question earlier so I could prepare for it" - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:08 1
    - "gee mr. bush, that's kind of the whole point of the question." -- nm - mafic Oct 27, 08:11

      - *la* universit�. *mouth pop* -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:19
    - I wish you would posted your IM before this so I could have looked up askance on dictionary.com. -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 08:12
  - In what respect, Charlie? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 27, 08:05
  - in the bush era of politics yes, before that ? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:04 3
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 08:04 2
      - dong the witch is dead. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:05 1
        
        Wait for it. - Spawn Oct 27, 08:08
so where should we go for our ST-honeymoon? there's no movie boards here and Dr. Tron has too much "history" -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:02 7
- Do they have boards on Hawaii.com? -- nm - Amy Oct 27, 08:08 2
  - If they're "with it", they'll have a whole social network! -- nm - Mop Oct 27, 08:14
  - dammit, frickin' Hawthorne and his moving on -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:09
- Facebook? -- nm - mara Oct 27, 08:05
- the wiki of course, its tropical. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:04 2
  - I've always wanted to go to a topical destination -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:07 1
    - plus, it has all kinds of perks. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 27, 08:13
