- Garlic Prawn Palace - JenBro Jan 19, 20:49
- Lotus of Siam -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 19, 20:48 1
  - yeah thanks -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 20:50
OK - so poll question - let's say Will Smith got the 5th spot for Best Actor nomination - which of these 5 did not? - JenBro Jan 19, 20:44 5
- Damon should be out no matter who you replace him with -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 21:04 1
  - the Rover -- nm - Max Jan 19, 21:31
- I was kinda thinking Eddie 'cause he won last year? -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 21:00
- If anyone else had gotten the fifth spot, Fassbender probably would have been the bumped one. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 20:45
- I say Cranston is in the #5 slot. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 20:45
There it is. -- (link) - Spawn Jan 19, 20:42 1
- I long for the days that Spawn didn't have me killfiled. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 20:44
TNA spoilers (now on Pop TV, which they probably pay to be on) - Tim Jan 19, 20:41 1
- Giantess gets Xmas cards from Hardy and Reby -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 21:11
Odious swine! -- nm - Max Jan 19, 20:35
Upon further research, the house I really like from photos is apparently a HUD house. That would make it pain, wouldn't it? -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 20:26 9
- Not always ... Insurance details inside - JenBro Jan 19, 20:56
- I am not at all versed in this area, but my vague recollection wants to say this just means you have to buying it as a primary residence - ty97 Jan 19, 20:29 6
  - Though digging further I'm finding things like "Insurable with Repair Escrow" - Dano Jan 19, 20:41 4
    - Be sure to ask the age of these things: water heater, roof, heating/furnace, electrical amps, type of plumbing pipes. -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 20:58
    - wouldn't that suggest its a foreclosure? that it needs some repairs which is why its underpriced (handyman special, are you handy? do you know any) - zeitgeist Jan 19, 20:49 2
      - I think HUD basically just means that it was a foreclosure on a federally insured mortgage so now the government owns it. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 21:03 1
        
        Ummm nope - I don't think so. Modular homes are 2 types - HUD or BOCA -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 21:06
  - I had no idea what a HUD house was, so I looked it up. apparently there's a priority period where you can only purchase as a primary residence. - mafic Jan 19, 20:37
- Pain? Why? Let socialism give you the warm hug of economic reinforcement. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 20:28

  - We went to a 100+ year old market to look for gifts, but they had a food court as well. - ty97 Jan 19, 21:04 3
    - how adventurous! Did you feel like Anthony Bordain? :D -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 21:07 2
      - hee! I don't want to oversell the adventure (as I'm a complete whimp compared to Bordain when it comes to food chance-taking) - ty97 Jan 19, 21:11 1
        
        Oh trust me - I AM impressed -I get it! It's not like you ate Durian ... But still - way to go! -- nm - JenBro Jan 19, 21:13
- I'll be here. actually I'll be at a meeting, but point is I won't be asleep, unless the meeting takes a weird turn at least. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:20
- Depending on how long I am here, I may eat my body weight in pork shumai. - ty97 Jan 19, 20:19 5
  - and then you only have to spend 16 hours on a plane. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:38 4
    - I cursed myself by mentioning the shumai. They are all gone. - ty97 Jan 19, 20:43 3
      - I do love those things. I love nikuman (the steamed buns) more, but shumai are delicious. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:57 2
        
        nikuman (which I had to google a picture of, did not know the name before!) are great as well. Alas, none of those here from what I see. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 21:01 1
        
        I think they're called bao in China as well. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 21:04

  - We had separate return flights -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 20:18 4
    - Who left first? Who arrives first? - Spawn Jan 19, 20:38
    - I feel like you just left to go there. How long was this trip? -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 20:22 1
      - We left..Friday, I think? (NB: It's early Wednesday afternoon now) - ty97 Jan 19, 20:25
    - probably for the best. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:20

- Fwiw, they lose that game without Kiffin. -- nm - Davi Jan 19, 20:14
my brain hurts, I just read Palin's speech. I think it actually makes fewer coherent points than 'twirling toward freedom'. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:06 8
- "I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul" -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 21:03
- I listened to it on CNN on he drive home. It is all in her delivery. Too bad she is evil, as she is a great speaker. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 20:12 3
  - she's not smart enough to be evil. stupid and lucky is more fitting. -- nm - mafic Jan 19, 20:16 2
    - Sadly, I think she is just unaware of how evil some of her policy preferences are. - TWuG Jan 19, 20:18 1
      - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 20:24
- Let's all agree it was nice when we weren't talking about that nutjob. -- nm - Davi Jan 19, 20:11 2
  - eh, we have to be nice to Spawn -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 20:15

  - I kinda think so. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 19, 20:06
  - Amy says she will pass on Sting/Gabriel Chicago. So it is just us. Any other STers thuinking about going? -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 20:01 1
