  - Pen-pineapple-apple-pen. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 12:19
  - $400 got 100 pens. So, 300 would be.... carry the 1... remove the bulk discount.... 25. They get 25 pens. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 11:37
  - zero pens. it's go-away money. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:37 11
    - so does this mean you can't send all of us a pen ? -- nm - decline Jul 7, 11:58 7
      - ST pens! -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:59 3

      - alas, i cannot. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:59 2
        
        aw crap, I had just cancelled our Staples order thinking we were going to be flush with Canadian pens. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 12:00 1
        
        Doesn't the ink come out backwards or something? -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 12:01
    - Nah, now YOU start calling him 10 times a day asking where your bleeping pens are. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 11:42 2
      - hey, he won't have time for drugs if he's too busy processing pen orders. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 11:44
      - heh -- nm* - Beaker Jul 7, 11:42
- Your boss has a big heart. I'm sad that your boss sat and thought and had concern for this guy. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 7, 11:33
- wow. -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:29 7
  - Her boss sending $300 is like me sending a dime, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:37 6
    - I'm not judging the amount of money or that it was sent at all. Just saying wow. - Diva Jul 7, 11:38 3

Bungie Day things. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 7, 11:26
I got a haircut today. So much gray on the hair catching cloth. I've been salt and pepper for along time, but it never looks *that* gray on the head. -- nm - Shaun Jul 7, 11:22 3

  - Hey I skew younger on the ST scale iirc. -- nm - Shaun Jul 7, 11:33 1
    - That's my line! -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:34
So, wouldn't it be worth the police's time to just have one of their officers audit the How to Get Away with Murder class? - prayformojo Jul 7, 11:19 2

Some of my Doctor Who problems with this season (three episodes to go). spoilers - Spawn Jul 7, 11:18 17
- after not being pleased with the first 2 episodes, up until the final 2 episodes I pretty much only saw the Missy scenes -- nm - peglegpete Jul 7, 11:40
- I disliked almost the entire season until the last few episodes. Those were better. -- nm - jnine Jul 7, 11:39 3
  - Awesome. I liked Smile a lot, but it is hard to say I liked any other episode this season (first nine). -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:40 2
    - The final two are really good. I felt like they knew where they were going to end up all season and were sort of killing time until they got to that - jnine Jul 7, 11:51 1
      - Yeah, he still writes (or co-writes) any multi-part story. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:56
- I really like Missy (and the last few episodes are great), but I dislike Bill more than Donna. - JaxSean Jul 7, 11:22 6
  - Yeah I really disliked Bill too. The actress was okay, I just thought the character was lacking. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 11:29 1
    - 12 episodes, 8 writers. That is just bad math for writing a season with a new character. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:35
  - Bill makes me miss Clara. (for me, that is saying something) - Spawn Jul 7, 11:25 3
    - Clara got too tangled up in her own mythology. Bill is refreshingly normal. -- nm - znufrii Jul 7, 11:28 2
      - Refreshingly simple, yes. - Spawn Jul 7, 11:32 1
        
        But she had a mother! -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 11:36
- I generally agree, but I'm more favorable towards Missy and less favorable towards Bill. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 11:19 4
  - My Missy problems are largely the way she is written and the stories they plugged her in to. - Spawn Jul 7, 11:23 3
    - I wouldn't term Missy as a companion. Do you mean Bill? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 11:25 2
      - Sorry, I touched upon both your points. The IM was Bill. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:32
      - I think she's at least been flirting with Companion status this season. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 11:28
Putin: We didn't hack your election. Trump: Okey Dokey, you're my new bff. Let's form a joint cybersecurity taskforce together! -- nm - decline Jul 7, 11:17

Confession: I have never seen Adventures in Babysitting. - sycor Jul 7, 11:12 16
- Nobody gets out without singing the blues, sycor. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 11:45
- huh, Anthony Rapp is in it? -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:17 10
  - he's the son's friend who tags along. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:18 9
    - I never made that connection -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:21 8
      - and don't forget Vince D'Onofrio. -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 11:22 7
        
        Thor! -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:25 6
        
        I was so smitten - it was unreal -- nm - Epiphany Jul 7, 11:28 5
        
        That hair though -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:54 4
        
        we all had that hair then -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 12:01 3
        
        A mullet? No. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 12:03 2
        
        STFU, you had a mullet -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 12:04 1
        
        Nope. Party in the front and party in the back. - Spawn Jul 7, 12:06
- I loved that movie. Haven't seen it forever though -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:14
- it's fun. (of its time though.) -- nm* - Andie Jul 7, 11:13 2
  - I love 80s movies though. As long as it didn't age too badly. -- nm - sycor Jul 7, 11:17
  - I watched it a afew years ago again, and it did not age too badly -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 11:15
hahaha, good luck with that beer -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 11:12
Vermont tries to lure Quebec tourists with poutine -- (link) - ty97 Jul 7, 11:11 11
- We stop in Montpellier every year on our way back to Montreal, last year I was almost tempted to test the poutine - Guigue Jul 7, 11:15 8
  - you know what, though? it's not like the recipe is so tough that the flavors can't be duplicated in places that aren't in/near Montreal... -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:18 7
    - Probably! And it's not like there's just 1 type of poutine here. But more often than not, when I tried it outside of Quebec, they used the wrong type - Guigue Jul 7, 11:23 4
      - next they'll tempt you with their maple syrup and lax rules regarding strip clubs! -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 11:48
      - that first sentence of your IM is an effing travesty. -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:25 2
        
        I was served grated cheese once here, never went there again and I bad mouth the place whenever I get the chance :P - Guigue Jul 7, 11:28 1
        
        My first poutine was at a tavern in Old Town during JazzFest. I'll never remember the name of that place but it was good. -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:33
    - Instead of poutine/Montreal, substitute pizza/NYC and make the argument to Krusty :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 7, 11:19 1
      - oh I know. :) -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:20
- tangential - i am seeing way more US tourism advertising than normal. State of Michigan, City of Chicago, Finger Lakes, Texas. All are running ad - Andie Jul 7, 11:13
- That's like Iowa trying to lure NYC people with pizza. -- nm - Shaun Jul 7, 11:12
Anyone want an update on the pestering addict? - Andie Jul 7, 11:10 8
- *makes note to read history tonight* -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 11:35
- +1 for security. That would be the next stage - and might be the first stage next time around. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 11:33
- wow. You should not have to be involved in any part of this and yikes.. -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:13 5
  - oh, i really really should not. i'm just the lucky one he decided to target. -- nm - Andie Jul 7, 11:14 4
    - here are some pens for the trouble you've had these past couple of days -- nm - Boss Jul 7, 11:14 3
      - omg - Diva Jul 7, 11:16
      - heh. - Andie Jul 7, 11:15 1
        
        we'll need pics obvs. and i hope so. -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 11:16
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 11:09 3
