  - Million dollar idea! Get on it. -- nm - Mop May 25, 16:11 3
    - Not exactly a feature, more like user intervention - JD May 25, 16:14 2

  - The sad thing is, they may wind up right back with them eventually. - IrishStephen May 25, 16:08 1
    - :/ I'll hope for the best for them. -- nm - b. May 25, 16:11

    - At least you have a non-stop, that helps you, until it's canceled. -- nm - ty97 May 25, 15:46
Does anyone else use those fake hornet/wasp nests you can get at the Dollar Store? They work perfect for us. - Beaker May 25, 15:38 2
- I don't get it, do new hornets see the fake and think the territory is claimed already? -- nm - zeitgeist May 25, 15:40 1
  - pretty much yup. plus the nest looks huge so they tuck tail. In theory anyway I think that is how it goes -- nm - Beaker May 25, 15:46

        coincidentally, the two songs I've listened to the most from FatL are with two other artists you mentioned.. - b. May 25, 16:03 2
        
        I just heard the remix a few mins ago. I noted that CtR and Bon Iver were featured and yet I listened. -- nm - Mel Profit May 25, 16:05 1
        
        er, I just realized the remix only came out last week. it's the original that was with me for a while before. -- nm - b. May 25, 16:17
    - Your IM makes less than no sense. -- nm - Spawndroid May 25, 15:25

- Kansas - crash davis May 25, 14:40 4
  - Heh, here in Orange County you can never be sure what city you're in. In Kansas City you're never sure which state :) - Meg May 25, 14:45 3
    - I remember my first trip to Orange County as a kid. I grew up being used to empty space between towns. There the only thing to let me know the city - crash davis May 25, 14:48 2

        what will you be doing? -- nm - Mel Profit May 25, 15:52 1
        
        Trade promotion and investment attraction. Some hand-holding. I'll post a twitter hashtag when the show begins, if you want to see. -- nm - Roger More May 25, 16:50

  - the kind of people who backed him politically, and many of the voters who did, are the kind that wanted the US OUT OF THE UN -- nm - zeitgeist May 25, 13:43 1

Confession: I won't miss TJ Miller much. - David May 25, 12:51 14
- I liked him in Office Christmas Party but I wouldn't want to watch a series with him in it week after week. -- nm - Max May 25, 13:28
- I'd like to see him do a cameo later on where he's somehow fallen into super success - Beryllium May 25, 13:08

    - I do realize that his window is limited before his act gets old - groiny May 25, 12:55 4
      - He's like Ed Helms. He's one-note but it's a great note in short bursts. -- nm - David May 25, 12:57 3
        
        I would agree with you on that. Which is why he is really good in Deadpool too. -- nm - groiny May 25, 12:59 2
        
        Deadpool's probably the high point of his career. He was the best part of it. - David May 25, 13:06 1
