Looks like I'm going to be playing Santa this year in our Christmas Cabaret - znufrii Oct 29, 16:31 5
- skinniest Santa EVER! -- nm - CQ Oct 29, 16:35
- Great excuse for loading up on decadent desserts between now and then. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:34
- /me pictures Santa in fishnets. -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 16:33 2
  - "You'd think that being married to Santa Claus would be great, but no one ever thinks about the fact that you have to have sex with him." -- nm - nubby Oct 29, 16:47
  - it's (mostly) a kid's show -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 16:39
*ahem* Your registration should be in your glove compartment at all times, so who the eff cares about whether your GPS says "Home" or not? :) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:26 18
- [deleted]
- not with the car if it is stopped by the law? I cary my reg. & insurance card in my wallet. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 29, 16:40
- Do you know where every address is in your town? The GPS does. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:28 14
  - And a carjack can't possibly have his own GPS, right? - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:29 1
    - carjackers have an inferior intellect, clearly, otherwise they wouldn't need to steal cars and ransack houses. - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:30
  - ah, I see where you're going, they could just program it in. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:29 11
    - I think the whole centers around the time issue. They will have limited time in your vehicle. True, probably 99% just want the vehicle, but the GPS - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:32 9
      - I'm not arguing it's possible, but is it really that much higher a risk than a carjacker programming it on his own? - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:36 5
        
        You and I would think that way, I'm thinking of someone with a damaged intellect to begin with. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:38 1
        
        Again. It doesn't matter how smart the criminal is or isn't. A guy who wants to rob your house won't stop because it's not programmed into your GPS. - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:39
        
        it saves him ten seconds! -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:37 1
        
        *smacks forehead* Oh sh**, you're right. It is a huge risk. (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:38
        
        "...not arguing that it's *not* possible..." - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:36
      - I have no idea who even lives in the apartments on either side. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:34 2
        
        I should have added a disclaimer to my post "Loosi, this may or may not apply to your situation". - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:35 1
        
        oh, I think it's kinda silly regardless. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:36
    - Indeed. Also, in my case, my GPS is my iPhone ... and it's not terribly helpful, as far as GPSes go. :) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:32
- in NY state, it's a sticker on your window (no address) -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:27
Feeding time!!! -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 16:25
~oh wow man....wait a second....what do you think the teacher is gonna look like this year?~ -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 16:24 1
- Class dismissed! -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 29, 16:28
Tuesday night ratings (Eli Stone in trouble, Mentalist nearly beats DWTS Results in it's slot) -- (link) - Count Beakula Oct 29, 16:16 4
- Eli Stone should try not sucking. - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:20
- I really just dont understand CBS' dominance. -- nm - Jovian Oct 29, 16:20
- wait. is today *wednesday*? only *one more day* of school this week? *weeping.* -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:19
- NCIS! -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:18
oops, I left my costume at work. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:16
After subjecting myself to 2 full hours of MTVu, I've noticed a pattern. - Mop Oct 29, 16:15 3
- ah the Motley Crue years. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 16:22 1
  - I've never heard of 3OH!3 before, but... thank you Jesus. -- (link) - Mop Oct 29, 16:26 [youtube]
- Welcome to 1985. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:17
When fully traced out, my employer is in the same ownership heirarchy as this ... -- (link) - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:11 [Image] 10
- Doesn't the U.S. gov't now own a share of that? When do I get to sail it? -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 16:13 9
  - Yes, but we own you. -- nm - China Oct 29, 16:22 2
    - China pwns Mop. Oph yeah. (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:26 1
      - *apologizes to China* -- nm - Mattel Oct 29, 16:27
  - Nope! JPMorgan bought WaMu for cheap, but that's about the extend of their involvement in the bailout stuff, I think. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:15 5
    - No, Wamu was bought by Citibank. - the liioulu with treats Oct 29, 16:22 2
      - "The FDIC sold the banking subsidiaries (minus unsecured debt or equity claims) to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion" - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:23
      - news to me -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 16:23
    - Wait for it! -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 16:17 1
      - Heh, I wouldn't be surprised. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:17
I haven't talked to my dad in 363 days. his birthday's friday. do I send something, or no? - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:10 16
- [deleted]
- *Still waiting for his Father's Day card* -- nm - Amanda's Dad Oct 29, 16:20 1
  - still waiting for my birthday card from last year. still waiting for my christmas card. he has no right to bitch. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:24
- Of course. -- nm - David, left of Mao Oct 29, 16:19 2
  - I wish I could send him a fish. that sounds perfect. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:20 1
    - you can send smoked salmon. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:21
- "No really, who is this?" -- nm - mandy's dad Oct 29, 16:14 2
  - seriously. ann hasn't talked to him since february ether. we don't think he remembers he has children. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:17 1
    - is he still married to that woman? -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:19
- Yeah do. Put him thinking. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 16:11 5
  - nuts? fruit? popcorn? plant? cookies? cake? mmmm, cake. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:13 4
    - is he allergic to any? -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 29, 16:17 1
      - he doesn't much like sweets. I thought about sending him popcorn because I *hate* popcorn, so it's not - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:18
    - Cufflinks and a tie. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 16:15
    - cake. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:13
- I was thinking like cookies or popcorn or nuts. or a plant. not flowers.) -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:11
[deleted] 4
- who is he? -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:08 3
  - The funny French guy who, along with Dane, fulfills ST's requirement for foreign content. -- nm - Mop Oct 29, 16:10 1
    - JackDawson? - the liioulu with treats Oct 29, 16:15
  - Is it just a Bond nick? (spoil) - nubby Oct 29, 16:10
lir Andie - in addition to your ICE suggestion, never have HOME programmed into your GPS. Give it a different name or program it to a nearby location - CrankYanker Oct 29, 15:59 26
- my friend brent's car was stolen and they went to his house (address on registration in glovebox), let themselves in (garage door opener) - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 16:07 17
  - yep, they can always get it from the reg, but only if they know the area and can there quickly. The GPS takes them there immediately. - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:09 16
    - Why would they have to be there quickly? - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:13 12
      - well, someone's going to call the police, don't you think? The ideal situation of robbing a house is making it look normal. - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:19 11
        
        If you got carjacked, wouldn't *you* call the police? Why would the neighbors have to do it? (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:23 6
        
        I thought that was obvious. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:25 5
        
        Wha? Again, why would they need to be there quickly. This whole line of reasoning smacks of urban myth. (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:28 4
        
        yeah, I figure if they're carjacking me, they're in a hurry to get somewhere. Otherwise why not just steal a car? -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:30 3
        
        ps. also, when you get to my building, have fun figuring out which of the 400 apartments is mine. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:31 2
        
        /listens for Hanson music since car I robbed was decked out in Hason stickers and license plate. -- nm - Apt. Thieves. Oct 29, 16:38 1
        
        oh sure, like I can run back and play Hanson music while you hvae my keys. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:42
        
        I think you give them way too much credit. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:20 3
        
        I think you don't give them enough. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:21 2
        
        if they're going to go to that much trouble, let them go into my crappy apartment. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:21 1
        
        ps. They just have to let me watch the video. "Oh crap, someone else ransacked it before us!" -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 29, 16:23
    - so just take the GPS with you. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:10 2
      - Carjacking is when you"re actually in the car, not a stolen car situation. That way, the alarm doesn't activate. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:11 1
        
        alarm? you mean the thing on the neighbor's car that makes me want to help the thief? -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:13
- why would they want to go to my house? -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:06
- If someone carjacks you, I can think of worse places for them to take you than your house. - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:02 6
  - Carjackings usually involve them throwing you out of the car and stealing the vehicle. They KNOW you're not at home, they your keys, and a vehicle to - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:08 4
    - If they're willing to carjack you, why would they care if you're home? (nm) - Boo! subi Oct 29, 16:15
    - Oh, I see. Well, I'm in no danger of being carjacked, because I take the bus to work ... heh ... -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:13
    - I'd love to see them sign in at the front desk. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 16:09 1
      - ~My name is Sue, how do you do?~ -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 29, 16:10
  - (Obviously this changes a bit if you have kids...) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 16:02
Oh, I had *so* many things I wanted to do this afternoon after work...I haven't done a damn thing. *sigh* -- nm - kelly Oct 29, 15:55 2

  - It's temporary (for now), but I've been working for almost 2 months now. - kelly Oct 29, 16:41
I have difficulty expressing how insane this is: Joe the Plumber offered record deal -- (link) - Reagen Oct 29, 15:53 2
- He should totally put out a record. And maybe have a talk show. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 16:22
- heh nuts -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 16:13
Chris Rock said Obama's going to win. Because he's Kenyan, and you can't beat a Kenyan in a race. - the liioulu with treats Oct 29, 15:53 2
- We should be thankful then there's no Ethiopians running - Will Hunting Oct 29, 15:54 1
  - I will become Eithiopian if it will help me win. -- nm - Desperate HouseMcCains Oct 29, 16:18

Seriously, some men are so helpless. Overheard conversation in my office. - Halloween Candie Oct 29, 15:39 6
- Thank god there are women around to point out our every flaw! -- nm - Men Oct 29, 16:00
- It's like when men go to supermarkets. Always hellbent on finding things by themselves rather than asking for help. -- nm - budice Oct 29, 15:42 3
  - actually it sounds like the exact opposite. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 15:44 2
    - Alluding more to the stubborness, and the long way to an answer -- nm - budice Oct 29, 15:46 1
      - heh. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 15:50
- Given his behaviour, I can see why she wouldn't want to call his mom :) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 29, 15:41

- "Obama's Kenyan Aunt found in a Boston slum" -- (link) - budice Oct 29, 15:28 1
