Doubt we can figure this out, but who is our *median* age person? -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 06:37 5
- We would need to know everyone's age but I'd guess we're somewhere around the high 30s. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 06:42 3
  - My gut was thinking 40s, somewhere in the 42-46 range, but only guessing. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 06:43 2

Dear Phil Jackson: When you've lost Spike Lee... -- (link) - Beaker Feb 9, 06:16 2

    - [deleted] 1
      - Immigration from Muslim countries certainly is front and center. - ty97 Feb 9, 06:28
- A deportation order in 2013. Clearly I have no understanding of the US immigration system (not that I ever claimed to). -- nm - Teddy Baron Feb 9, 06:15
- (potentially deported, potentially moved to detention center. Not 100% clear) -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 06:07
*smh* F'ng work drama -- nm - Strongbad Feb 9, 05:53
I'm kind of curious about why Teen Vogue is suddenly so political. They've been all over things for months now. I wonder why. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 05:50 4
- Heh... I just got done reading this: The true story of how Teen Vogue got mad, got woke, and began terrifying men like Donald Trump -- (link) - Dano Feb 9, 06:00 1

- [deleted] 1

What's up, ding dongs? -- nm - Bad Baron Feb 9, 05:49

- what happened to a good old stoning? -- nm - groiny Feb 9, 06:52
- Sigh. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 05:38 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - Either you force riflers to be on a firing squad, which is horrifying, or you call for volunteers who want to kill somebody, which is horrifying. -- nm - mara Feb 9, 07:10 3
      - The only way I'd join the firing squad is if I was allowed to dress up like a clown. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 9, 07:13 2
        
        And fire a confetti gun. -- nm - mara Feb 9, 07:15 1

- Yeah, I was hoping the warmed up ground would help but I guess not. Let's go sledding! -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 05:33 3
  - Probably just means there will be a layer of ice under the snow where it melted and then refroze. -- nm - GregW Feb 9, 05:36 2
    - Yay! That'll make shoveling impossible. Good times! -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 05:39
    - I got woken up by all the dripping as it started (presumably some snow hitting the building and melting) - ty97 Feb 9, 05:37

    - I actually like erotica, but I never went anywhere near the books or the first film. I saw a writing sample of the first book and I was determined to - Diva Feb 9, 05:26 6
      - The books were just bad writing. I put it down after ten pages -- nm - decline Feb 9, 05:37
      - Same for my gf. She was so disappointed after reading a sample of the first book. -- nm - Krusty Feb 9, 05:31 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'd say so and things like that piss people off so much. Just because people have a fetish doesn't mean they've been traumatized in their life or have - Krusty Feb 9, 05:36
      - [deleted] 1
        
        oh *hell* no. -- nm - Diva Feb 9, 05:32
  - Shades didn't like John Wick 2 but I didn't see him post a review of Lego Batman. So he could be one of the two for both films. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 9, 05:20

So if Meg is our senior member, who is the youngest? I know it isn't me. -- nm - volnelk Feb 9, 05:13 4
