      - of course you were. but (a) in the sun a car can get hot to dangerous levels in minutes. (b) leaving your kids in public, alone, is just stupid. - Andie May 6, 11:51

so what should I do with my "mary is unhirable" "the cake is a liar" sign that hyung vandalized? burn it? -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 6, 11:30 7

  - Out in the rain? -- nm - mara May 6, 11:36 3
    - cake hates rain? this sound suspiciously elvish to me. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 6, 11:37 1
      - Just make sure you'll have the recipe again. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 11:38

  - dude, you can't go around declaring "I don't date" and then get upset about it later. -- nm - Max May 6, 11:40 1

- I did the job for 2 years and none of the guys I worked with would catch a second look -- nm - J May 6, 11:35 1

I found the bastard who's pillaging the cities I want to pillage! Thanks to 3.1, I can see he's blockading the harbor and occupying the neighbor. - Mop (236 lbs) May 6, 11:20 5
- 3.1? -- nm - J May 6, 11:25 2

        Thanks (parents are coming to Canada and I have to find a place for them to stay when in Montreal) -- nm - Roger More May 6, 11:31

- hot dog and bar tab -- nm - Beaker May 6, 11:19
- tic tacs, & 3 hours at the Downtown Embassy Suites -- nm - Epiphany May 6, 11:17 1

Co-ed college room-sharing. Good idea? Bad idea? -- (link) - znufrii May 6, 11:15 24
- terrible idea, esp. for ML's insight. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) May 6, 11:30
- I like to think I'm pretty open minded, but there would be no way in hell I'd allow my daughter to live in that situation. (nm) - musubi May 6, 11:24
- We like it! -- nm - Josh C., Stephen B. & Lara F.B. May 6, 11:22

- I like it -- nm - Redmond May 6, 11:21 1
  - I do too. -- nm - Loyola May 6, 11:21
- Horrible idea. -- nm - Stephen May 6, 11:21
- I doubt this is allowed in on-campus housing, and I doubt the deposit referenced here was to the school -- nm - con_carne May 6, 11:18 1

    - If there's pizza in the fridge, I'm less likely to grab a piece (pun intended) than if it's on the table in front of me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 11:37
  - I think this is where I come down on it too. I couldn't care about the mother's moral outrage throughout the article - znufrii May 6, 11:25
- I'd like to know more. With three roomates, this could well have been a suite with separate bedrooms inside a larger room like an appt. -- nm - Don Homer May 6, 11:16 3
  - according to the article it was a shared bedroom, not a suite. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 11:17 2
    - Bad idea if randomly assigned, but if they willingly sign on I don't have a big problem. -- nm - Don Homer May 6, 11:18 1
      - i read the whole thing. Stanford policy is that it has be pre-approved, but in this case (and in ths entire dorm) it was not. -- nm - Andie May 6, 11:21
- as in, sharing an actual room? (two beds, one room?) bad bad idea. -- nm - Andie May 6, 11:16 4
  - having read the article, i believe the mother has a strong case, but i also think she has some problematic assumptions. - Andie May 6, 11:20 2
    - I was pretty much with her on the basics until the last paragraph. - kelly May 6, 11:26
    - oh, I think the mother's concerns are wildly overblown. I just don't agree with the policy they've implemented either. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 11:21
  - in the particular case in the article, 4 beds, 2 girls, 2 guys, 1 room. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 11:17

  - I like picture #19. -- nm - Don Homer May 6, 11:13 1
    - 21 and 22 are very "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Babe", respectively. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 11:14
- could those photos be any larger? i think I can see the microbes on her tongue. -- nm - Guy May 6, 11:08 1
  - They could, I guess, but then they'd have to call it The Freaking Huge Picture. -- nm - mara May 6, 11:09
Tom Green was never funny. -- nm - Remlik May 6, 11:05 17

    - have never seen it but that scene is a running joke for my wife and I : -- nm - Beaker May 6, 11:16
- I like him in small doses. But paradoxically, I was the one that though Freddy Got Fingered was hysterical. - Reagen May 6, 11:11 1
  - That was you? Nice to finally meet you! -- nm - Tom Green May 6, 11:12

I really had no idea: David Ogden Stiers is gay. -- (link) - TWuG May 6, 11:04 6
- aww - I hope he finds someone. -- nm - Epiphany May 6, 11:15
- Yeah ... this doesn't surprise me (in fact, I think I heard it before). -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 11:12
- *mistakenly imagines David Allen Grier and thinks yeah, that's a surprise* -- nm - Max May 6, 11:08 1
  - That one wouldn't floor me either. -- nm - TFox May 6, 11:09
- He'll always be the Martian Manhunter to me. -- nm - Remlik May 6, 11:08
