    - If you hit Jackson hard once, he'll vanish. -- nm - David Sep 4, 13:28
    - from one angle Jackson looks like the good choice, I went at it from the devil you know perspective -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:28
Sands of Zanzibar!! Middle Expressions: -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:18 2
- I'm as serious as a hefty bag full of rottweilers -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:21 1
  - Evidently, they had a contest for fans to nominate an expression. I wonder if "My Little Pony" was the winner? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:23
can i post here? --nm - prayfromojo Sep 4, 13:18 7
- Has it always been fro? -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:23
- fro? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 13:20
- new blood! -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:19 4
  - Red Meat! Rrrrrr -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:20
  - Let's haze him!!! ::puts prayformojo's hand in a bucket of warm water:; -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:20 2

surprise, surprise, Fox News Channel beats broadcast networks in first night of GOP convention coverage -- (link) - znufrii Sep 4, 13:17
Weird thing. A kid in my son's third grade class has braces. Can they do braces on baby teeth? -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:16 4
- Not typically, but yes. If they're crooked then, the permanent teeth might be messed up too. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:17 3
  - But fixing the babies won't fix the permanents, will it? -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:17 2
    - No, but it might help when the new ones are pushing in. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:20 1
      - (although I wonder how they know a tooth is loose/out if braces are holding it in? odd.) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:21
oooh, all my guests get to stay at the hotel too. fun! -- nm - Andie Sep 4, 13:15 3
- You own a hotel!?!? Then why am i staying here? (The Cambridge Suites are *really* nice... I have a corner suite!) -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:19 2
  - if you and Dano were coming on the 29th, i could put you up! -- nm - Andie Sep 4, 13:22 1
    - Bit late to the move the festival at this point :) -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:30
Nice job, Best Buy. - nub-b Sep 4, 13:14 4
- "Beta than you" -- nm - Best Buy Sep 4, 13:18
- I got that last night, too. wonder if I'll get the retraction today. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:16 2
  - For Reward Zone Premier Black? - amoxy Sep 4, 13:18 1
    - Yep. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:20
I love this description of my astrological sign -- (link) - lileve Sep 4, 13:12 [Image]
There was an interesting baseball first last night -- (link) - znufrii Sep 4, 13:10 1
- As I said originally ... slow-motion baseball? That sounds absolutely thrilling!! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:11
holy cow. there is a slickertalk? hee. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:10 4
- It's what I use while at work. (You may have guessed I help come up with some of the wording for the top of the page. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 13:11 1
  - classy, lassie. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:14
- There's also a sluckertalk. -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:11 1
  - your mom. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:11
If I missed the announcement, I can still swear and get away with it, right? - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:10 5
- once again, you're fucking wrong - crash davis Sep 4, 13:11 2
  - How do you know how he fucks? -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:15 1
    - its sort of like how he pitches, all over the place -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:15
- And it's funny that all someone had to do was to create a lookalike board and everyone switches without pause. :) -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:10
- JaxSean was totally pulling your leg :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:10

- Why do I feel like it does effect his fantasy value? - TFox Sep 4, 13:10 1
  - I mean, at worst, his trade value must have gone up slightly. - TFox Sep 4, 13:13
- I like how they added "This does not affect his fantasy value" -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:10
I can't decide if I think Kat Dennings is hot or not. I flip flop. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:06 1
- She's hot... there, no more hemming and hawing. -- nm - secretslacker Sep 4, 13:08

  - I liked that movie a lot. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:08
C'mon Facebook. Load! Bery, how soon before SlackerFace Alpha? -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 4, 13:00 1
- I haven't looked in to facebook development. I have an idea on where I want to go with that, though, that doesn't end with a total contamination of - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:02
randomly, I think among my most pleasant suprises of the summer was Middleman - crash davis Sep 4, 13:00 3
- Very good show. And the last episode was brilliant ... - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:01 2
  - The "Pliskin" stuff was just brilliant. -- nm - Trish Sep 4, 13:09 1
    - I loved "Come with me if you want to live" -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:12
I do have to say, though, that I am surprised HSX is still down. - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:00 10
- or ... - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:00 9
  - This would be V3, you silly git. -- nm - Trish Sep 4, 13:02 4
    - I thought of that right when I hit enter. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:03 3
      - How can you code if you can't even count!?! -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 13:04 2
        
        V2++. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:04
        
        Quite well, actually, aside from the occasional off-by-one errors. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:04
  - touche. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:01
  - maybe we all got banned -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:01 2
    - I think Mara is right - they likely want to be rid of us - we had no $ value -- nm - Epiphany Sep 4, 13:10 1
      - I always like the idea that somehow we'd created a little parasite colony in the bowels of a larger internet company. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 13:18
Jack Abramoff just got a 4 year sentence. (no link yet) -- nm - Max Sep 4, 12:59 2
- Man, that must have had a lot of commas. -- nm - emgammacripple Sep 4, 13:05
- sex crimes? public indecency? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:00
Stargate has such a good soundtrack. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 12:59 1
- Which one? The original movie w/James Spader? -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:16
ML liked the Edwards musical. Does he also enjoy the Palin musical? -- (link) - TFox Sep 4, 12:57 1

Oh crap. Trish is unbound on ST. - HdnAgnda Sep 4, 12:57 6
- Yeah, I think I was a sailor in a past life. - Trish Sep 4, 13:01 2
  - My little pony! You've got quite the potty mouth. - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:02 1
    - I hope somebody catalogued all his expressions, they're priceless. -- nm - Trish Sep 4, 13:12
- Her House impersonation leaves something to be desired, though. House is far too sardonic to use the word "Twinky". -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:58
- FREE THE BOUND PERIODICALS! -- nm - radical librarian loosilu Sep 4, 12:58
- Trish: Uncensored -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 12:58
So, remember back in 2004 when Passion of the Christ box office didn't count for some reason? - David Sep 4, 12:55 1
- Religious people don't count -- nm - Obama SI Sep 4, 12:58
It makes me glad that this place works so well. Anxiety about HSX shitbombing the boards has decreased significantly. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 12:53 21
- Yep. Plus, the comfort-ability of people like my wife posting here because it doesn't have anything to do with HSX makes me think we can get others. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 12:54 5
  - We need a better name since slacker is just mean. -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 12:59 4
    - Have you not seen SlickerTalk? -- nm - mara Sep 4, 13:04
    - I think it fits perfect. We're all slacking on the side here. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:01 2
      - Yeah, but I like to *think* that it's really something productive and useful -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:02 1
        
        That's what SlickerTalk is for. It's Slicker than Ticker Talk. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:05
- What would be cool is that when TT comes back... we don't. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 12:54 2
  - Dude, I was just thinking the same thing! They've jacked us around for a long long time--what if we just didn't come back? - Trish Sep 4, 13:07 1
    - Personally, I'd like us all to go back. They've provided a nice free site to us for a long time. If they screw up TT that will be different, but - pmb Sep 4, 13:27
- yeah, the only downside as someone noticed would be a lack of new blood once in a while -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 12:54 11
  - We could lurk on beta or whatever and invite people. Slacker Talk does not have the same ring as TT Elite, but it works. - Spawn Sep 4, 12:55 3
    - So now all the conspiracy theories about TT Elite are true? -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 12:58 2
      - No. -- nm - TT Elite Sep 4, 12:58 1
        
        Uh... exactly! -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 13:04
  - We could recruit, like a secret society. Have hazing and everything. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 12:55 1
    - We should test this out on JackDawson when he returns -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 12:58
  - Well, a simple google adwords buy would take care of that :) - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:55 4
    - Wanted: trolls to bait and harangue... -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 12:56 3
      - "Ask for the 'Fraskal' package." (nm) - David Sep 4, 12:59 1
        
        Ah yes. "Mr. F" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:59
      - Exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:57
mara: We can do whatever *I* want. ;-) Woo! Egomaniacal to the max! - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:51 8
- ST Feedback board! :-) (just kidding) -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 12:54
- You're our personal dancing monkey, so STFU, codeboy. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 12:52 6
  - yeah, dumbass! -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 12:53 5
    - I think Bery should scribble you two just to show what he can do! :) - Guigue Sep 4, 12:54 4
      - ... two problems with that: First, I haven't implemented scribbling yet, and Second, I haven't implemented Scribbling yet. - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:56 1
        
        Skip straight to bans. -- nm - David Sep 4, 12:57
      - You misspelled 'boitch' -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 12:55 1
        
        Damn I did... -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 12:55

David, Paul Hamm wasn't at the most recent Olympics. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 12:51 2
- I didn't say *this* Olympics. -- nm - David Sep 4, 12:53
- (at least not as a competitor) -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 12:51
aaaaand Can I get a roll? -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 12:50 1
- Wait for it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 12:51
Andie, can't you still get airfare for your friends to come meet you in Toronto? - TFox Sep 4, 12:50 1
- heh, i should try that. (but i'm guessing no. the girl who called felt pretty bad that i was missing out on the airfares.) -- nm - Andie Sep 4, 12:55
We need to add personal scribbles where you can click someone's name to scribble them just for your own browser -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 12:50 5
- and when we post, it should pay us money! -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 12:58
- We should be able to pick which color our links show up as when we post. - TFox Sep 4, 12:54
- or a fortune cookie app where you can add "in bed" to any post you'd like -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 12:51
- *writes ScribbleFile Greasemonkey code* -- nm - EdZep Sep 4, 12:51 1
  - Aside from the link format, it should be nearly identical. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 12:53
Good News / Bad News Board. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 12:49 3
- I just saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Geico. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 12:55
- ~you know I had my share~ -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 12:52
- The good news: I have all my work done. The bad news: I have a meeting tonight, so I am stuck here. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 12:50
IRYS! -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 12:49 3
- *head explodes* -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 12:50
- Fuck yeah! - Spawn Sep 4, 12:50 1
  - You know that's right!! -- nm - Jim Sep 4, 12:50
