Huh, you know that fund, Cerberus, that bought 80% of Chrysler a few years back? - Loyola May 1, 10:28
Andie I had Doritos to compliment my sandwich today so I hope that cosmically helps you today. Good luck! -- nm - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:28
the interior message box looks a lot better with that hint of a border and the non-coloured background, doesn't it? -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:27 5
- Much better. -- nm - jnine May 1, 10:37
- Border is a little too subtle. -- nm - Don Homer May 1, 10:28 3
  - how's that? -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:28 2
    - Oh, maybe I was thinking of something else. - Don Homer May 1, 10:30
    - now it runs off the side! - Don Homer si May 1, 10:29
MojaveMeg: Evidently, I misread Colombia as California. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:25
Okay, wine finished. I'm off home. I might have to watch Robin Hood tomorrow as Toby Stephens is playing Prince John and Richard Armitage has - LMS May 1, 10:21
Mop how did the attack go last night? -- nm - Beakacabra May 1, 10:18 2
- I pulled out all my foot soldiers at the last minute (they loaded up just in time) so the ships slugged it out. - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:25 1
  - he threatened me this morning :) I sent a paltry 4 ships at a couple of his cities and he messaged "want me to show you how to attack?" - Beakacabra May 1, 10:30
ok, I like this transformers 2 trailer. -- (link) - tRuMaN May 1, 10:18 1
- Megan looks hotter than ever - Guy May 1, 10:23
friday hax chat quickie: he's having sex with three people (at different times, ftr). should they know about each other? - pigby May 1, 10:16 35
- he's (conditionally) right, not that he won't be blamed for it when the girls inevitably find out, though. - znufrii May 1, 10:27 6
  - lying by withholding information is still lying. I think I'm on the fence. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:28 5
    - unless he thinks it's irrelevant. which, some may argue, it is. -- nm - kare May 1, 10:30 4
      - and he can't be expected to be a mind reader either. If it's a relevant issue to any of the girls, they should say something. - znufrii May 1, 10:31 1
        
        i agree. -- nm - kare May 1, 10:32
      - condoms don't stop things like crabs and herpes. I'd want to know. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:31 1
        
        and yet... if these girls were so worried about either of those, they should be very clear *and ask* -- nm - kare May 1, 10:33
- i think it's the right thing for him to let them know. but it's not HORRIBLE if he doesn't. i wouldn't say it's a lie. - kare May 1, 10:27
- [deleted] 11
  - Although, in reality, what's the difference? If he jammed 30 girls in the past, or 28 in the past and 2 right now... - TFox May 1, 10:26 9
    - [deleted] 1
      - i like that you wait til AFTER. haha -- nm - Guy May 1, 10:30
    - I don't see how it would hurt him to be honest. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:27 6
      - if it was any other aspect of his life, he wouldn't be expected to proffer it up without any inquisition - Guy May 1, 10:29 2
        
        but it could affect his partners' health and emotions, therefore it's their business. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:30 1
        
        health, obviously. condoms help. at this point, he's not responsible for their emotions. -- nm - kare May 1, 10:32
      - Becuase people aren't 'honest' when it comes to their feelings in relationships. "It's cool" is often "I'm hurt and we're on the slow road to pain." - Will Hunting May 1, 10:29
      - It would slow the flow of the poon juice. Obviously. -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:28 1
        
        If he thinks it would bother them, then they deserve to know. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:28
  - this is my thinking. I don't want to catch anything. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:25
- He's fine, and honestly, it's not sounding like he'd be heartbroken about losing any of them if they found out. -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:24
- He deserves to die. - Loyola May 1, 10:23
- I think he's lying by omission. If it's cool, why hide it? -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:22 4
  - Why bring it up? - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:28 3
    - if he's consciously not bringing it up, that indicates he knows it would bother them, therefore he's choosing to keep them in the dark. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:29 2
      - Which is often for the best. - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:31
      - i mean, i agree it's somewhat sleazy, but if these girls really want to know, they should ask. -- nm - kare May 1, 10:31
- [deleted] 1
  - totally. -- nm - kare May 1, 10:28
- Info as presented, he's right. If they're thinking they're the only one and he's not being honest....it's sleazyish -- nm - Will Hunting May 1, 10:19
- i think you can normally tell if a person wants to know/cares. - Guy May 1, 10:19
- If you're not *lying*... if they're not asking "am I the only one?", then I think you're fine. - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:18
- He's right, basically. Although there may be more deception going on than he's admitting to. One chick may be saying things that makes it obvious - mara May 1, 10:18 2
  - I think his partners have a right to know, but maybe I'm weird. He seems to think he's being shady so that suggests he is. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:23 1
    - no, his friends seem to think that. -- nm - Guy May 1, 10:24
Woolies. Worse than Furries? (SFW link) -- (link) - TWuG May 1, 10:14 2
- ~ She may be wooly / Women do get wooly ~ -- nm - Nuke LaLoosh May 1, 10:18
- "It's not product placement I just like them!" -- nm - Lemon May 1, 10:15
Poll, cite some very well known lines in popular songs that are not the chorus or title. - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:14 24
- Bite my lips and close my eyes, take me away to paradise. -- nm - jnine May 1, 10:34
- I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree. -- nm - Dano May 1, 10:28 1
  - Oh, the first line of that song would really work for this poll, IMO -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:28
- "I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off of my stack." -- nm - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:25
- All I have in my head right now is hip hop so..."Engine, engine number nine." "The turntables might wobble but they don't fall down." -- nm - Krusty May 1, 10:23 5
  - I didn't even immediately place the second one, dude. :) -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:24 4
    - Come on! That's a classic from Run D.M.C. -- nm - Krusty May 1, 10:25 3
      - I got it, but it took me a second. And really, that was the easiest Run quote? :) -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:27 1
        
        No but it's what popped in my head. -- nm - Krusty May 1, 10:30
      - I must have heard that line juggled by dj's 1000x. -- nm - Krusty May 1, 10:26
- ~But when I got undressed it was a big ol mess, Sheena was a man!~ -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:22 1
  - ~Girls to do the dishes, girls cleanup my room, girls to do the laundry and in the bathroom~ -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:25
- "I like big butts and I can not lie." "Stop, collaborate, and listen." "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom." -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:22 2
  - I think your first one is the thread winner. - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:23 1
    - I agree -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:24
- That little faggot got his own jet airplane! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:21
- It's like 10,000 spoons... -- nm - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:21
- "heavy boots of lead, fill his victims full of dread" - that's probably the chorus, but whatever. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:18
- "LEONARD BERNSTEIN!" -- nm - Ender May 1, 10:18
- JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say? -- nm - Dr.Vermin, Space Monkey Mafia May 1, 10:17
- "We haven't that spirit here since..1969." -- nm - Will Hunting May 1, 10:17
- I have that first one as an earworm now. -- nm - Loyola May 1, 10:16
- ~teenage wasteland~ -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 10:15 1
  - ~ teenage chorus ~ -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:16

- Summer vaccine! -- nm - Loyola May 1, 10:15
LYC: I met Roberta Flack yesterday. - Krusty May 1, 10:11 9
- An open post to Roberta. Thank you for the Killing Me Softly song. It not for that, the Fugees would not have covered it and I might not have had a - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:17
- [deleted]
- Cool. (Why didn't I know what your job is?) -- nm - mara May 1, 10:11 4
  - I have two. I work in an ER and I manage a pet shipping/transportation company. - Krusty May 1, 10:13 3
    - What is the preferred packaging for pet shipments? I assume like snakes and batches of rodents go in like poster tubes? -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:14 2
      - Dogs have to have kennels that are large enough for them to turn around in. Snub nosed dogs need a kennel one size larger than that to help - Krusty May 1, 10:16
      - [deleted]
- You make it sound like you throw people in the back of a truck. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:11 1
  - Minivan's actually. We also have a 30 year old station wagon but no one likes it when they get picked up in that. - Krusty May 1, 10:14
"Hillary just sucks cock and is a communist with direct ties to Hell." - David May 1, 10:06 9
- Brother Jeremy, that's just wrong -- nm - pigby May 1, 10:14
- Obviously untrue. If she did the former more, 1998 would have been a much slower news year. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 1, 10:13 1
  - Like Bill would turn *extra* bj's. -- nm - Will Hunting May 1, 10:18

  - Let me give it a good rip first -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:04
Speaking of music, my kids have loved Simon & Garfunkel's 'At the Zoo' for quite some time but only recently have I been playing other songs off their - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:00 3
- Your kids (and presumably you) have amazing taste. -- nm - TFox May 1, 10:12 1
  - If they tour anywhere within 4 hrs of Raleigh in the future I am there. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:19
- Awww! I love toddler voices. -- nm - mara May 1, 10:09
PSA: Lemme tell you something, if any of you are Leonard Cohen fans, get to a show on this tour. Last night's show was.... - Name Withheld By Request May 1, 09:52 6
- You know you are right. He flies under the radar these days but I can see that being a real good show. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 1, 09:56 3
  - His tour is well-promoted, and he played Coachella this year as a headliner -- nm - con_carne May 1, 09:59 2
    - Under the radar with respect to the current state of popular music is where I what I was getting at. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 1, 10:01 1
      - Well, when I read NWBR's post, I asked my self: "'Hits'???" -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:03
- His speech at the Rock & Roll HOF pretty much solidified this for me. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 09:56
- oooh, love him. -- nm - Andie - Chipacabra for the win! May 1, 09:52
pippy, what note? -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 09:50 2

    - There's some leaving drinks in the office for one of my colleagues. We had chocolate raspberry cake too from Waitrose which was awesome. -- nm - LMS May 1, 09:55
    - sounds like most STers dream job, for sure. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 09:55 13
      - Can't believe I'll be in Cannes in less than 2 weeks too. -- nm - LMS May 1, 09:56 12
        
        You're going to be pitching my Ghostbusters 3 proposal, right? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 09:57 11
        
        It's needs a some British talent or story arc for us to get involved - could you including a bit where Ray is investigating a haunted house - LMS May 1, 10:02 10
        
        Hugh Laurie could be the bastardly CEO -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:03 9
        
        That could work, or Rowan Atkinson maybe. -- nm - LMS May 1, 10:05 8
        
        Atkinson as the weasely accountant. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:08 1
        
        He can even morph into the big villain in GB4. The demon pulling the strings behind the evil CEO. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:10
        
        Hey, did you see this? :) nmbl -- (link) - con_carne May 1, 10:07 [Backboard] 4
        
        I did when I was BBing this morning - there should be a rule about not discussing British shows when I'm not around. Oh and series 2 & 4 are the best. - LMS May 1, 10:12 3
        
        I enjoyed clever Baldrick in S1. He was like an Iago. :) -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:15 1
        
        It's hard not to have a soft soft for a series had has Peter Cook, Brian Blessed and Miriam Margoyles as guest stars. -- nm - LMS May 1, 10:17
        
        2 was a total departure. Like what a "reboot" is in movies today. Every character was different. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:15
        
        Yes, definitely. He was good in Love Actually .. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:06
- Is that Pac time? -- nm - con_carne May 1, 09:48 2
  - should be Eastern time. -- nm - loosilu for Chipacabra May 1, 09:50
  - guess it's time to implement a countdown timer ;-) -- nm - marcel May 1, 09:49
Let's see if I can beat Sean to this: Amazon.com MP3 50/$5. 50 albums for $5 each. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 09:46 25
- I'm the local newspaper of ST. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 09:50

    - He also does not want to get a BS!! message from Mandy again - Pippy - Go Team Chipacabra! May 1, 09:52
    - jax tends to replace the tag in the URL for his amazon links so that ST can be credited (I just modified Mop's in the DB to do that) -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 09:50 17
      - That makes his link instantly better than mine. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 09:53
      - ... note that I'm working on a mod to the link script which will automatically do this for amazon affiliate links :) -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 09:51 15
        
        I was going to suggest it. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 1, 10:11
        
        Wow, how does one do that? Is this something all of us can do, in order to support ST? -- nm - con_carne May 1, 09:55 5
        
        First go to the SlackerShop, then click on the Amazon link there. -- nm - mara May 1, 09:59
        
        In some amazon URLs, you'll see the string "&tag={somethingorother}" ... just replace that with "&tag=slack01-20", and ST makes $$ when people buy. - Beryllium May 1, 09:58 3
        
        I just tacked this up on my bulletin board. Hopefully I remember to do it. Thx! -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:02 2
        
        No problem ... money generated by the site like this gets tabulated into a spreadsheet and used to fund the future fees of hosting and such. - Beryllium May 1, 10:05 1
        
        Very nice -- nm - con_carne May 1, 10:27
        
        Oh lawd! -- nm - Qale May 1, 09:52 7
