  - hmmm... I'm also single again, though crushed and destroyed women is really more pixie's style. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 07:57 1
    - I thought pixie's style was "crushed and destroyed BY women" -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:58

    - you also need professional woman hair like Portia de Rossi. -- nm - Reagen Apr 21, 07:59 1
      - I *am* letting my hair grow... -- nm - mandy lane has totally lost track of days Apr 21, 08:01

New plan. *waits for Pippy to get drunk and then ask again* Muhahahha - Redmond Apr 21, 07:30 3
- [deleted] 2
  - I wait to be flashed. I just don't pretend to be gay and grab away without permission. -- nm - Redmond Apr 21, 07:36 1
    - he reminds me of that line in the Wedding Crashers - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:39
From BB's....Happy Birthday to Pippy and congrats to Mandy on her job offer..... - Walt_Disney Apr 21, 07:28 34
- Yay everyone! I'm missing all the good stuff. mandy, email me the scoop so I can read it next week. -- nm - Dano Apr 21, 07:38
- Word to both! -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 07:35
- mandy beat grad school. I can't stress to you how big that is. - nubby Apr 21, 07:32 27
  - [deleted]
  - Hey, I resent that. I beat it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:35 22
    - I can't figure out what it is you resent. -- nm - mara Apr 21, 07:57
    - I didn't say you didn't. -- nm - nubby Apr 21, 07:38 20
      - not that I want to get ANY further, but academia is a special hell. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:39 19
        
        would you please just stop it and let me have my day? Can my job please not be about you? Please? Just this one thing. Let me have this one thing. -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Apr 21, 07:44 1
        
        hey, congrats! (did I read correctly that you will be in MD for 9 months?) - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:45
        
        So...you concur with Nubby's initial post that a) you beat grad school and b) it was hard. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:40 15
        
        absolutely. I did not go to the same kind of grad school as mandy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:40 14
        
        (waiting for everyone to take that totally wrong) -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:41 13
        
        (nmb Loosi) - kelly Apr 21, 07:44 3
        
        it's very difficult not to, sadly. it is different, just like it is different from med school. that is all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:44 2
        
        so what? this is sort of irrelevant. - Andie Apr 21, 07:46
        
        But right now it really doesn't matter. - kelly Apr 21, 07:46
        
        Maybe you should edit it then. It sounds demeaning and arrogant to me. I think you mean "We took different programs." but I could be wrong. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:43 8
        
        Mandy is in professional school. I was in academia. they are completely different. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:43 7
        
        But not necessarily a distinction that needs to be drawn on the day of her victory, possibly. -- nm - TFox Apr 21, 07:44 6
        
        My point precisely. And I'm employed in my field, which might indicate a different kind of "beating." -- nm - mobile browsing loves mandy lane Apr 21, 07:46 3
        
        mandy, i hope you raise your sword of triumph and let it glisten in the sun as you look back fondly on the war you have just conquered. - TFox Apr 21, 07:48 1
        
        ideally, coated in the blood of your enemies. take that, enemies! -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 07:56
        
        which is awesome. congrats on your job. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:47
        
        I did not say better or worse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:45 1
        
        But we all know what you mean. "Look at me. I'm better and super smart." -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:47
        
        ps. congrats to mandy for her success. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:39
  - Even art grad school? -- nm - lileve Apr 21, 07:34 2
    - well, real grad school anyway. :) - mafic Apr 21, 07:53 1
      - I don't think I'd have survived art school. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:54
- I completely missed the mandy job offer thread - how did that happen! Congrats and I look forward to the premiere of the retooled mandy show -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 07:30 1
  - Word. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 07:35
- and don't forget the Mop family which welcomed a new member. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:29 1
  - more moplets!! wahooo! - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:37
Here is the series of photos for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in breaking news photography. (from Haiti after deadly hurricane) -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:21 3
- ugh, that's a hard set to get through -- nm - prayformojo Apr 21, 07:26 2
  - #18 is a real good photo. The look in the boys eyes. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:43
  - #8 was heartbreaking -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 07:33
did i miss anything by not reading the backboards? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 21, 07:19 2
- Amanda got the job she wanted. It's awesome -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:25 1
  - sweet. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 21, 07:29
[deleted] 5
- But how much of that is offset by the drinking regimen one's friends demand? :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 07:25 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - it can be kind of brutal. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 07:36
- Does this mean if I'm doped up all the time and have a pile of diseases, I also have no friends? What am I paying them for then!?!? -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:18 1

LIR DH: They're going to package The Hobbit with it, so it'd be 5 movies. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 06:59 7
- "they decided to make 2 billion instead of 1 billion." - Mel Profit Apr 21, 07:30 1
  - yes, that was good. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:46
- *shrugs* That doesn't justify skimping on them now. They're getting ripped over this. See: Amazon "reviews", for example. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:01 3
  - and they'd get equally ripped for releasing now, then releasing a new set when the hobbit was done. - mafic Apr 21, 07:36
  - Amazon has created a page along with email notification for the extended editions. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 21, 07:09
  - True. I'd buy the trilogy extended editions on release day. Screw the theatrical ones. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:06
- Course, we won't need to worry about this until like 2013 or anything. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:01
I'm torn which of last night's new shows has a better plot: The Stacy Show or the Hotkiss Show. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 06:59 5
- I'm pretty sure the Stacy show. It's just there for entertainment. "Hers" and ours. The Hotkiss show is a trainwreck of epic proportions.... - Jim Apr 21, 07:33 2
  - It's like a bad afterschool special. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:34 1
    - she's like the addicts in Requiem for a Dream. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:50
- When are they doing their crossover ep? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 06:59 1
  - every Stacy episode is a "cross" one -- nm - zork Apr 21, 07:01
This story seems like it came from the X-Files. Former astornaut Edgar Mitchell (of Apollo 14) says extraterrestrial life exists and that the truth - Don Homer Apr 21, 06:57 2
- It needs to be. Humanity can't handle that knowledge no matter how much people would like to know and think they can deal. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 21, 07:51
- And the current cnn.com poll: "Do you believe that extraterrestrial life has visited Earth?" 62% say yes. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 06:59
loosi, I believe I have a converter program that does aac to mp3 -- nm - zork Apr 21, 06:56 10
- is it one of the ones that rerecords (and not really converts) - decline Apr 21, 07:00 4
  - tvc (few people will notice any such degradation) -- nm - zork Apr 21, 07:02 3
    - I can't hear the difference. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:14 1
      - neither can I - decline Apr 21, 07:16
    - Of course not. studies have also found that people prefer the sound of low-end mp3s to higher-quality audio. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:03
- oh really? *bats eyelashes at you* -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 06:57 4
  - you have to do better than that -- nm - zork Apr 21, 06:59 3
    - not in front of everyone else, hon. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:00 2
      - you have my email addy - zork Apr 21, 07:04 1
        
        I'll send them along. - loosilu Apr 21, 07:04
decline, if I just bought something on iTunes last night, it won't have DRM, right? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 06:56 5
- shouldn't -- nm - decline Apr 21, 07:01 3
  - April 1 was the changeover date -- nm - decline Apr 21, 07:02 2
    - April Fools! -- nm - Apple Apr 21, 07:05
    - guess we'll find out. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:04
- right -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 07:00
New Birthday Tradition. If you are a woman and it's your birthday you have to sext me a picture of your boobies. -- nm - Redmond Apr 21, 06:54 28
- Perverted. And topical! I like it. -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 07:57
- LOL!! - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:06 14
  - Pfft. You are all talk. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:14 1
    - she really isn't. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:28
  - Gimee!!! Yes, I want to make you laugh. Complete the joke :P -- nm - Redmond Apr 21, 07:08 11
    - I am so tempted cause I am a scamp that way but my husband would go on a murderous rampage - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:27 9
      - Just whip them out and rub them all over the keyboard to see what they type. -- nm - Shaun Apr 21, 07:31 1
        
        W e waant re dmo nd 2 see us soo n -- nm - Pippy's Boobies Apr 21, 07:39
      - I'm imagining the formation of a posse. Seriously. -- nm - Diva Apr 21, 07:30 5
        
        OMG, I was telling Loosilu earlier - he flipped out again trying to find me on Sat. night - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:42 4
        
        *looks around for Groiny* -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 07:53 1
        
        That moment was hilarious. -- nm - Diva Apr 21, 07:58
        
        see, posse? ; ) -- nm - Diva Apr 21, 07:50 1
        
        I know - it's cute in a way. He's so crazy. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:55
      - Crap!! Your husband ruins all my fun. *muddles obscenities under my breath* -- nm - Redmond Apr 21, 07:29
    - *looks at cell phone* damn! Not yet! *looks at cell phone* damn! Not yet! *looks at cell phone* damn! Not yet! - Redmond Apr 21, 07:17
- Do you send one back of yours? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 07:00 1
  - Well only on my birthday, duh! -- nm - Redmond Apr 21, 07:01
- Very well. -- nm - Queen Elizabeth Apr 21, 06:56 8
  - Dammit. Dammit. should have been Susan Boyle. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 06:57 7
    - I knew about the Queen but is it Susan's as well? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:06 6
      - I just pulled both out of the air. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:09 5
        
        Dear God, it really is the Queen's birthday today? I am psychic after all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:09 4
        
        yes you are! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 21, 07:26 3
        
        I literally pulled it out of the air. what are the chances? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 07:27 2
        
        one in 365 -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 07:34 1
