  - I appreciate the help, but lets ignore that its a key. A tool with a carved handle, what would we call the carving on the handle when it represents - crash davis Dec 9, 13:55 3
    - I would only use another word if it fits the situation. Totem is 'an emblem of a group of people, such as a family, clan, lineage or tribe." -- nm - GregW Dec 9, 13:59
    - it's similar to a pommel on a sword maybe that carries over to both -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 9, 13:59

- Let's make this someone's hill to fight and die on. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:21
- What about chowder? -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:10 6
  - chowder is a soup -- nm - decline Dec 9, 13:11 5
    - Except for Manhattan clam chowder, which is simply an abomination. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:11 4
      - What if you made it with ketchup instead of tomato sauce? -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:25 2
        
        You might just open up a portal to the nether dimensions. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:33 1
        
        *shows you my nether dimensions* -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:34
      - I don't see much to argue about in this thread. I'm agreeing a lot -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 13:23
- It is a stew. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 9, 12:54 1
  - Is stew soup? -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:21
- I hate you for the 4 days of arguments this is about to start. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 9, 12:53 14

    - So rice or noodles in a broth is not classified as a "soup". Got it. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:33 5

      - So if we were playing 20 Questions, you'd classify them as a mineral? -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 13:35 3
        
        I'm just wondering, if my mac & cheese is really watery, can I call it "soupy" or am I breaking the rules? -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 13:39 2
        
        Soupy is a perfectly serviceable adjective for a watery sauced dish -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 13:44
        
        That would be cheese soup with pasta ;) -- nm - Meg Dec 9, 13:43
    - Ok, I like this...also stew is an entre' and should offer 450 to 600 caleries, soups are appetizers, you don't want to fill up before dinner -- nm - zeit spiced geist Dec 9, 13:26
    - (this definition wouldn't fit gazpacho) -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:14
    - These "facts" were obviously invented by a man who knew nothing about soup. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 13:05 3
      - What soups are you thinking of? -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:09 2
        
        None I'm just kidding around :) -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 13:11 1

Okay Meg, what did you do with the real Joe Walsh? -- (link) - ty97 Dec 9, 12:45
*sigh* FB is still nagging me to boost a post for an event that happened *last night* -- nm - Meg Dec 9, 12:41 3
- Do not doubt Facebook's time-warping abilities. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 12:44 2
  - Does that mean I have to make another potluck dish?? - Meg Dec 9, 12:47 1

Interesting fun fact: There's a Blood Feud defence with a negative score for the season. (-21.00) -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Dec 9, 12:35 7

  - Bacon cursed his own team by running Smith out of town. - crash davis Dec 9, 12:39 5
    - It's glorious. Alex Smith is 20-3 over his last 23 starts. SF has won only 14 games in the past three seasons. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:08 4
      - So David enjoys Bacon's misery more than amoxy and my happiness(?). We see how it is! - IrishStephen Dec 9, 13:13 3
        
        It is your own fault. You and amoxy need to trade Bacon to Cleveland for a fan to be named later. -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 13:18 2
        
        Fuck.You. -- nm - Cleveland Dec 9, 13:39 1

I'm ashamed to say that I watched the entire Fifty Shades Darker trailer - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 9, 12:30 8
- I watched the Fifty Shades of Grey movie and thought, there could have been a halfway decent movie there if it had been refined - crash davis Dec 9, 12:33 7
  - It could be one perfectly fine film if - Marlowe Dec 9, 12:44
  - the author is a horrible writer and had creative control over the script - thus your IM -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:38 2
    - It definitely needed another writer, fo sho -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 12:41 1
      - Though the capitalist in me admires her for cashing in. -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 12:44
  - I tried it on 1.5x speed and even that was intolerable. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 12:34 2
    - Seriously, I watched things that suck sometimes and think "that actually could have been saved". Some stuff can't be though -- nm - crash davis Dec 9, 12:36
    - which one? the movie or... -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 9, 12:34

      - I really like it as well. But Darlene's is the best. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:01
      - I can't tell if you are being sarcastic. Are you being sarcastic? -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 12:39 3
        
        Actually, no. heh. But then, I'm pretty sure U2 is the best band to ever play -- nm - Crashquick Dec 9, 12:53 2
        
        You misspelled worst. You know you can edit your post and fix that. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 13:12
        
        I love U2. Their version is not better. If you asked Bono which version is better, when he stopped laughing he would say Darlene Love's. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 12:58

    - I don't see U2 on that list and that could be the best rock holiday song EVER! -- nm - Crashquick Dec 9, 12:32 1
      - No U2 -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 12:35
    - Bing & Bowie? -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 12:32 1

    - oh man, that era is a disaster zone for houses here - Reagen Dec 9, 12:33
    - Actually I would expect homes built in the 1950s to have no character. Especially ranch homes. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 12:29
    - because it was a house built in 1955 -- nm - decline Dec 9, 12:28 1
      - Probably in the Levitown of Cheyenne back in the day -- nm - Crashquick Dec 9, 12:30
