- where's 1-4? -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:25
- gibbs better be on this list. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 30, 08:25
- #15? Seriously? He deserves to be in the top ten. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:23
- Man, I think they found a way to add *even more clicks* to a terrible ad-boosting clickfest -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:22 1
  - agreed. that was painful. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:23
- Now THIS is going to lead to some fights. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 08:20 1
  - TT should do this list. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:21
- the first one I see invalidates the entire list -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 30, 08:19 2
  - *ugh* #17 for me... - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 08:21
  - You RUBE! How dare you insult the venerable Niles Crane in such an obscene manner! -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:20
Oh... and dark chocolate kicks milk chocolate up and down the street, spanks its ass and then kicks it up and down the street again - Mr. Havens Oct 30, 08:18 3
- your IM, while delicious, just set me off into a diabetic coma. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:20
- Disagree. But not by much. There are just a lot of milk-chocolate-related products that I enjoy. :) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:19 1
  - lyc: I have made a significant reduction in chocolate choices cause my taste buds now only want dark choc. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 30, 08:23
wow, i just got my HSX merchandise that i ordered on the last official day of the old site. - Halloween Candie Oct 30, 08:18 2
- I like the fact mine arrived with a handwritten address sticker. -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:20 1
  - i know! even the return address was handwritten. it's so.... personal. -- nm - Halloween Candie Oct 30, 08:22
Feels like it will be a fighty day on SlickerTalk - amoxy Oct 30, 08:16 14

- *punches amoxy in the jimmies* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 08:18
- the amazing hting is there's a presidential election on tues. and no one's fighting about that....nm - x Oct 30, 08:18 1
  - Not even McCain! -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:18
- I kinda got that vibe, too. Well, I'm working on adding some stuff in that will give us things to do as a distraction :) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:18 1
  - (It won't be available until approx mid-november, though, I think) -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:18
- I feel extremely fighty today in real life -- nm - Epiphany Oct 30, 08:17 4
  - You were fighty yesterday on ST. I saw your messages and I am thinking with my head - amoxy Oct 30, 08:20 3
    - sorry, I get all up on arms when someone tries to pull some dramaz with someone I care about. - Epiphany Oct 30, 08:25
    - I'm such a dunce...what did I miss? - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:22
    - You sound like you need a massage and some time in a steam room. Hang in there, Buddy. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:21
Obama should spend his last full day of campaigning in Arizona. Discuss. -- nm - Mop Oct 30, 08:10 21
- There's no need to totally humiliate McCain. Concentrate on key battleground states with tight senate races -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 30, 08:14 1
  - Yes, this was what I meant to say, but I got caught up in a cheap jab to satiate my own sense of humor. - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:16
- That'd be about the tackiest thing he could do. Especially with real work to be done. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:13 7
  - Or...just Win. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:15 5
    - with one arm holding the ball and the other raised to the temple. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:16 4
      - yep. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:17
      - ... and wearing the flag as a cape ... -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:17 2
        
        ...and a big man diaper. [nm] - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:17
        
        See now, that's just silly. : ) -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:17
  - Word. Let Arizona go the way it goes ... campaign in Alaska. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 08:14
- he should spend it smoking a fine cigar and shaking hands with big business owners.. - colin Oct 30, 08:11
- [deleted] 9
  - I'd say GA, IN, and MO. -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:12 8
    - Why IN & MO? He's going to win; help pull the team in you want. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:14 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Good point, but I think his presence can help draw the collegiate vote. Which generally favors him. -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:18 1
        
        collegiate/urban -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:19
        
        Without an energized Obama/Democratic party, they ain't close. The only way they'll really win is if he runs up the score in the Af.Am community. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:17 2
        
        I still think a swing through IN/MO would help. Hopefully with Gephardt and a couple others in tow. -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:21
        
        [deleted]
    - then MN -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:14
I would like to see the copy of the homosexual agenda that these groups are reading. I'm guessing it looks like this. - pmb Oct 30, 08:06 14

    - [deleted] 1
      - Interesting...I only know of 2. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:17
- Do you really need to say "assless?" Aren't chaps, by design, "assless?" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 08:09 1
  - Pantsless chaps. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 08:12
- 5. Push America down the slippery slope to man-woman-dog marriages -- nm - kilboooo Oct 30, 08:09 1
  - and Lamps!! I want to marry a Lamp! -- nm - Pippy of the Damned Oct 30, 08:14
- "what costume?" -- nm - pmb tomorrow night Oct 30, 08:08

- 4. Profit! -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:07 1
  - What are you saying?! -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 08:14
Batman Begins for $5 at Amazon -- (link) - Max Oct 30, 08:02 4
- Infinite Undiscovery (360) - $29 -- (link) - budice Oct 30, 08:04 3
  - I rarely buy dvds but I'm really tempted to get the V series -- (link) - Max Oct 30, 08:07 2
    - heh -Saw that. I also remember the arguments with my parents cause it was on opposite Dallas. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 08:15
    - You want to talk about bad special effects... -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:09
I love all chocolates. I want to bathe in a tub full of white, dark and milk chocolates. nm - Jovian Oct 30, 08:00 1
- melted? might be a little hard to burrow in hard chocolates -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:02
If you adopt as a couple, don't you both have custody/guardianship? Wouldn't that be legally similar to a married couple? -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 08:00 16
- I googled, you do a joint adoption or a second parent adoption. So, even if you aren't married, you have the same bond to the child. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 08:05 1
  - [deleted]
- Well some tax benefits might not be there. -- nm - budice Oct 30, 08:03
- did you used to be common law married if you lived together long enough? -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:01 12
  - Common law varies from state to state -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:08
  - I think it's for one consecutive year here. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 08:04
  - depends where you live. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:02 9
    - it appears in arkansas that it doesn't exist.. GA ended it in 1997. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:04 8
      - In DC it's like 24 hours. seriously. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:04 7
        
        hmmm, guess t hat was a rumor. The requirements seem to be cohabitation and intent to marry. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:06
        
        common law marriage seems like it would be a cheap way to go, not that a marriage license costs that much. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:06 5
        
        it's actually quite difficult to meet the criteria from what I understand -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:09 3
        
        some places, it was just as simple as publically declaring you were man and wife (like signing something mr&mrs)... - colin Oct 30, 08:10 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        currently, yes. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:23
        
        $35 in DC. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:08
*strips down, poses* paint me! -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:00 3
- *loads paintball gun* Ok -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 08:01
- hang on ... I have to get into my zone where you're a bunch of shapes, not a naked dude. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:01 1
  - *sways hips* is this helping? -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:01
By itself, milk chocolate. Dark chocolate is only good if it's 'mixed' with something else. - JaxSean Oct 30, 08:00 5
- really? i find milk chocolate better in baking... -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:09 2
  - Oh, Milk Chocolate is superior in every way. But the only way Dark Chocolate is any good is if it's baked in cookies or in other items like candy. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 30, 08:09 1
    - oooh! yeah, dark chocolate is the only acceptable base for a lot of chocolate desserts though.. milk is to finicky. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 08:12
- You are so DTM. -- nm - Mop Oct 30, 08:09
- Wrong. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 08:00
Dark chocolate obviously, but milk chocolate kicks ass as well. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 07:58
The bizzare logic of Will Hunting: "If we don't explicitly outlaw it, then the government is implicitly sanctioning any possible consequence thereof." - znufrii Oct 30, 07:57 11
- You use a lot of big words. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:09 2
  - My main problem is that by holding up a single model as an ideal, you're implicitly denigrating any success had by people outside that model. - znufrii Oct 30, 08:16 1
    - Why is it so hard to believe that one form might be better than others? - Name Withheld By Request Oct 30, 08:30
- everything past the ":" is extra -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 08:00
- I was just thinking about this this morning on my way to work considering the abortion issue - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:59 3
  - I completely respect, admire, and applaud this point of view. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 08:01
  - [deleted] 1
    - It is a tight line, however and one that I'm uncertain about. We legislate against other crimes involving death - kilboooo Oct 30, 08:02
- wow, is this Take It To Crazy Extremes day? -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 07:58 2
  - pretty much, yeah. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:59 1
    - Days ends in 'Y', check. -- nm - Shaun of the Dead Oct 30, 08:00
I think a kid is a far stronger bond than marriage - Guigue Oct 30, 07:56 31
- Kids are a strain/challenge to any relationship. Without marriage, imo, there's zero state-bond to keep you there realistically. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:02 21
  - I don't think not standing up in front of a judge (or priest, or whoever) and having the ceremony done makes you any less qualified to be a parent. - mafinstein Oct 30, 08:20
  - [deleted]
  - this is why I don't believe in marriage -- if you need a piece of paper to tell you that you love me enough to stay with me - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 30, 08:09 9
    - I think you're missing the entire point of marriage. - Inigo Oct 30, 08:18
    - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 08:17
    - sing it, sister!.....nm - x Oct 30, 08:14
    - the piece of paper gives you a lot of legal rights. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:13
    - It's a party and a dress--and it makes some stuff easier. We got married out of laziness. - Amy Oct 30, 08:11 4
      - well, and a big diamond. I do want that. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 30, 08:15 3
        
        bonus! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 30, 08:16 2
        
        the diamond is nice. has to be a big one. 2 carats! -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:17 1
        
        seriouisly 2 carats is not all that big in the world these days - but it certainly would be a looker. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 30, 08:27
  - Legal guardianship/custody of the child. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 08:09
  - If I want to get out of a relationship and there's a kid involved, the determining factor is what's best for the kid - znufrii Oct 30, 08:05
  - there are legal benefits to marriage across the board, which is one reason gay marriage is desirable to many people. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:04 6
    - This is the thing that puts me on the side of supporting secular gay marriages and adoption as a result -- nm - kilboooo Oct 30, 08:08 2
      - this is the thing that puts me on the side of wanting the government out of the marriage business...nm - x Oct 30, 08:17
      - I support gay marriage (secular or church, whatever you want) becuase I think gay couples should have the right to be legal next of kin. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:10
    - All the more reason I 'm not a big fan of the idea. - Will Hunting Oct 30, 08:05 2
      - You're saying in your last paragraph that marriage is not as big a step as deciding to adopt, so why is it so important that parents that have decided - Guigue Oct 30, 08:13
      - I kind of feel the same way, but not sure I'd go as far as to ban unmarried adoption. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:07
- Sadly, this isn't true universally -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 30, 08:01
- well, plenty of people walk out on kids. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 07:58 6
  - All I'm saying is I doubt marriage would be enough to keep those people from leaving -- nm - Guigue Oct 30, 08:00
  - I would imagine they would've walked out sooner without, all other things being equal. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 07:59 4
    - you think? you never heard of boyfriends who bolt the second they get a girl preggers? -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:00 3
      - I think adoption is a more considered decision. -- nm - Amy Oct 30, 08:01 1
        
        true. -- nm - slutty zombie loosilu Oct 30, 08:03
      - that's a completely different kind of situation than what I'm talking about. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 08:00
- Not only should singles not be able to adopt, but marrieds shouldn't be able to divorce. - Don Homer Oct 30, 07:57
oh, roll -- nm - kilboooo Oct 30, 07:50 3
- dude, whatever that is you're getting ready to do - good luck. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 07:52
- buttered? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 30, 07:52 1
  - Parkay -- nm - budice Oct 30, 07:53
