Today's entry in "Songs That I Hated Then But Love Now:" Burning Like A Flame by Dokken -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 09:55 1
- I really liked Dokken at the time, but I have a difficult time understanding why now. -- nm - David Jan 19, 10:05
Sure, you've seen a brick in a washing machine before. But a brick in a washing machine on a trampoline? -- (link) - Mop Jan 19, 09:50 [youtube] 1

  - Who do we get to pick #1 this year? -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 09:51 5
    - for the love of all that's Holy, make it a goalie or a D man -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:52 4
      - We need a big time D man, no doubts there. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 09:53 2
        
        That'll be Nurse, soon. But a dman drafted this year is ready in 3,maaaaybe 2 seasons. -- nm* - Reagen Jan 19, 09:55 1
        
        Seth Jones! -- nm - David Jan 19, 10:05
      - Talbot's solid. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:53
quick question for the frequent flyers inside & thanks! - JenBro Jan 19, 09:49 19
- is the flight on Delta or a code share? - znufrii Jan 19, 09:56 1
  - El Al does this. It often doesn't even cost more to get seat sale in Business . -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 10:00
- Yes, delta just changed their rules and you basically can only upgrade one class. - iSpam Jan 19, 09:56 2
  - Thanks for this ... I wonder if there's another airline to consider? -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 09:56 1
    - FWIW, here are Deltas rules and you can see the ticket class codes that qualify. - iSpam Jan 19, 10:01
- wait, where are you flying? $5400 for coach, anywhere, is INSANE. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 09:54 10
  - For full fare economy during high season it's not completely crazy. -- nm - iSpam Jan 19, 09:58 4
    - yeah, but who in their right mind pays full fare economy? -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 10:01 1
      - If you want to get upgraded you do now. -- nm - iSpam Jan 19, 10:02
    - i suppose, especially with the different legs. but, personally i would not spend $3000 grand more. You can do a lot of things there for that money. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 09:59 1
      - I feel the same way Andie -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 10:08
  - to New Zealand - flight back from Austraila with stop in Fiji -- (edited) - JenBro Jan 19, 09:56 3
    - seriously, give me dates for your legs. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 09:57 2
      - OK :) we're on a package trip - and here's the flights I'd need - JenBro Jan 19, 10:13 1
        
        The best I could do quickly was $2,151 with some pretty bad stopovers. Play with this tool to see. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 19, 10:32
  - word. Must be flying the same airline as znu is getting for his heat pump -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:55
- Oh, for such a long haul, I'd say it's definitely worth it. But I'd consult the experts on the whole "qualifying fare" thing. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:52 1
  - yeah - that struck me as odd too - so figured I'd crowd source it here in case anyone has Delta experience -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 09:54
- oh - and trip is to Aus/NewZealand/Fiji -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 09:50
David Pogue apparently writes for Yahoo Tech now. He's got the inside scoop on Amazon Prime Air (the drone delivery service) -- (link) - Mop Jan 19, 09:46 1
- I envision their drone delivery program ending like the turkey drop on WKRP -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:48
Remember why diamond rings exist fellas... -- (link) - Shaun Jan 19, 09:44 10
- I'm assuming that's from a satire site. -- (link) - mara Jan 19, 10:07
- "Where's the ring I gave you?" "I... uh... lost it." -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 10:05
- ringing the devil's doorbell = best band name ever -- nm - CQ Jan 19, 09:54 1
  - and would double as the title of their first hit -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:57
- "Because if she doesn't know what an orgasm feels like, she can't be disappointed by you!" -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:53
- That's the new DeBeers campaign, right? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:50 1
  - ha! -- nm - Diva Jan 19, 09:53
- complete with a spelling mistake. -- nm - Andie Jan 19, 09:47
- It has been years since I have heard of The Devil's Doorbell. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:46
- I...uh...lol, wut? -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 09:45
So if Brady makes it to SB Fiddy, does he surpass Montana as the best QB in the Super Bowl era? -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 09:41 14
- Needs to win it. As it is, there's something to be said for 4&0 with at least one final minute clinchers over 4&3 -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 09:45 4
  - Yeah and he got beat twice by a clearly inferior QB. - Shaun Jan 19, 09:51 3
    - Nah, he got beat by a stellar front 4 of the Giants...the QB just lucked his way into 2 rings. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 10:05
    - Team game. -- nm - CQ Jan 19, 09:53 1
      - Uh huh, and if they won instead guess who'd get all the praise? -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 10:00
- He is a horrible human being and a very bad person, but he is the best QB of all time. -- nm - CQ Jan 19, 09:43 6
  - He wouldn't have lasted anywhere this long in the Unitas era, before they started protecting the QB -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 09:44 2
    - and we know this cause of time travel? -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:50 1
      - Unitas was 6'1" and went around 195 lbs. Brady is 6'4" and goes around 225. He'd of been bigger than most back then -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:51
  - I was trying to come up with something like this. But yes. - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:44 2
    - I love the man, I think he is a fantastic human -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:52
    - Dude has never eaten a cookie. - Spawn Jan 19, 09:45
- already has -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:42
- no -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:42

Planet Bowie? ::signs:: Sure, why not? -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:38
Sweet. Going to Vegas over spring break. my parents are footing the bill for me and my sister :) - oblique Jan 19, 09:32 11
- is she hot? -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:32 10
  - It's been five minutes and I'm still waiting for an answer. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:38 5
    - I'm pretty sure kilbo is in a catch 22 here. - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:43 4
      - heh. I would objectively say that my sister is not "hot". Just like I can say that Jax is a fine piece of man. See? -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 09:45 1
        
        So, you prefer dudes. - Spawn Jan 19, 09:45
      - I love how ST can take a perfectly nice post and turn it into something - Spawn Jan 19, 09:44 1
        
        The next VegaStravaganza hinged on the answer. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 10:05
  - What happens in Vegas between siblings stays in memory. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:33 1
    - unless several yards are involved. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:34
  - ysmm! -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:33 1
    - what happens in Vegas...... -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:33

- Donald Trump leads the Republican pack. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:33 1
  - You could even go with the simple fact that he is still in the race. - Spawn Jan 19, 09:42
- #8 is awesome -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:31
Graham Norton show this week was a must watch. Miriam Margolyes on top form (audio probably NSFW). Gemma Arterton also a guest on that show. -- (link) - LMS Jan 19, 09:27 [youtube] 6
- I'm seriously bummed that BBC America isn't showing this anymore... -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 09:28 4
  - Aren't they normally a few weeks behind? It's only just returned to UK screens after the Xmas break. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 09:31 3
    - They haven't shown any of the current season, hasn't been on since last spring. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 09:32 2
      - That sucks. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 09:33 1
        
        Stupid Weinsteins - JD Jan 19, 10:30
- hmmm....Gemma -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:28

aww....VH1 Classic cancels That Metal Show -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 09:23
Kid at the final, shows up late, no calculator. We get him one, and when he's returning it afterwards, I ask him, "so, how'd it go?" - Reagen Jan 19, 09:20 6
- *reconsiders disappointment at not teaching calculus this semester* -- nm - Reagen si Jan 19, 09:44 1
  - Nah, those kids are motivated. No one accidentally takes calculus. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:50
- I'm quite certain some of these kids just sat there for an hour until they could go. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:42
- I've always believed in being really good at one thing. For me, that one thing was question #3. -- nm* - student Jan 19, 09:24 1
  - Pretty much. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:28
- Did you check it for invisible ink? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:22
Apple tells widow she needs a court order to get her dead husband's password. -- (link) - Mop Jan 19, 09:19 24
- I agree with this. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:28 1
  - Alicia Florrick definitely agrees. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:31
- Why are people dumb? You have access to his email. Reset the password and move along. - oblique Jan 19, 09:24 3
  - There are no security questions? -- nm - mara Jan 19, 10:08
  - unless they knew he was dead, but yeah -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:28
  - Well, she's old. But, yeah. This was my thought. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:28
- I keep a file in our safety deposit box with passwords and copies of bank statements, credit cards, investment statements, power/cable bills, etc -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:20 17
  - We do as well. Plus Lastpass now allow you to set up an emergency contact that can get your passwords if something happens to you. - spamlet Jan 19, 09:24 13
    - is lastpass a pay service? -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:29 12
      - $12/year. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:29 11
        
        (And it's totally worth it to me.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:42
        
        I need to check on this. I seem to have free access from desktop but they demand money for access to the same account on mobile. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:32 1
        
        Yes. They have a free tier and a pay tier. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:35
        
        But every once in a while they'll give a year of free access. I have access through December 2017 right now for instance. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:30 6
        
        Can you please pass along to me if you see this again? - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:44 1
        
        Will do. -- nm - iSpam Jan 19, 10:15
        
        $12 seems reasonable. I think patryk's is $60/yr. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 19, 09:30 3
        
        There are some that are a lot more (I think 1Password is a big one that's expensive). -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:38
        
        I [heart] Lastpass. It integrates with Chrome and Mobile Safari really, really well. - spamlet Jan 19, 09:32 1
        
        I haven't been able to figure out how to work your IM yet. I need to look into it. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:45
        
        what a ripoff! -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:29
  - The key is locked inside Beaker's chastity belt. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:23
  - Just never change your password, OK? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:22
  - good to know. Which bank was that again ? -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:22

  - Secreatary of Illegitimate Children -- nm - Jovian Jan 19, 09:45
  - Secretary of Rounding Up the Foreigners -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:39
  - Sec Def -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:29
- It's nice that everyone had stopped talking about Palin. -- nm - David Jan 19, 09:22
- Trump, helping expose the bigots of America since June 16, 2015. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:21 2
  - because they had been so shy about it before he ran -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 09:24 1
    - It'll be easier to identify them and round them up now. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:30
- she will apparently be his 'Special Guest' at today's rally -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:21
- *grabs the popcorn* -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 09:19
OH? Oooooooh. - Mop Jan 19, 09:18
After a fan uproar, the NHL has announced that John Scott will be a captain at the NHL all-star game -- (link) - Beaker Jan 19, 09:17 20
- Nice. I still wonder about the trade. - JaxSean Jan 19, 09:25 16
  - Don Cherry went off on the whole thing Saturday Night. He blames the voters for screwing Scott and getting him demoted (and he isn't wrong) -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:27 15
    - That's absurd. "If you vote for this puppy in the Cutest Kitten contest, we'll have to kill the puppy." - Mop Jan 19, 09:30 14
      - Oh no, the sacred trust of the NHL All Star game, in its 4th format based on a gimmick! -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 09:38
      - he explained it better! -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:37
      - Mop, meet Don Cherry. -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 09:35 1
        
        I don't take issue with Don Cherry's universal wrongness. But Beaker..? -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:37
      - the voters, from what I understand, voted him in as a joke. - groiny Jan 19, 09:32 9
        
        I love it the "game" is a joke to begin with. I may actually watch for the first time in years. -- nm - ajrimmer Jan 19, 09:43 7
        
        the 3 on 3 aspect will be fun and the fact they are playing for real money makes it double fun. -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:45 3
        
        and now you have a career hack being one of the 3 players on the ice. - groiny Jan 19, 09:49 2
        
        till he grabs someone and beats their ass! -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 09:52 1
        
        it is gonna be a live real version of Happy Gilmour. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:54
        
        well, putting a hack in there to get decimated by talented players is probably not the best idea. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:45 2
        
        Its going to be a glorious trainwreck -- nm* - ajrimmer Jan 19, 09:51 1
        
        sure, next year they can put the NHL players vs the Grammar School All Star team. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 09:55
        
        Oh, no doubt. It was akin to a Howard Stern prank... at first. But it eventually became an underdog story. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:37
- Finally decided to step out of the poop? -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:22
- Seriously though, if you're going to let fans vote for players, stick with it. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 09:19
- Fuck yeah! -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 09:18
