  - I'd heard that this was up but had no reason to explore until just now. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 4, 14:22 1
    - Figures you elitest liberal New Englander -- nm - amoxy Sep 4, 14:24
the one problem of with the Car Talk puzzler is that nubby says you have to assume that everyone does what is in their own best interest. - crash davis Sep 4, 14:17
How much for the little gi... err, phone. I need a new one. -- nm - zork Sep 4, 14:17
I have a philosophical/point of order type question to throw at you guys. Why? Well, why the hell not, ok? - Trish Sep 4, 14:17 5
- to the poster who would post that, probably not. the type of person who needs to share everything to experience are the only ones who would post that - Andie Sep 4, 14:21 1
  - *laughing* Very good! -- nm - Trish Sep 4, 14:24

- I still don't have a satisfactory answer to my Deal or No Deal from Monday. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 14:07 2
  - what was that? -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 14:07 1
    - spoiler - nubby Sep 4, 14:17
Fantasy Pick a QB: Young vs. JAX, Garcia vs. NO or T-Jax vs. GB? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 14:00 5
- Always bet against Garcia -- nm - Trish Sep 4, 14:08
- Ye gods ... that's slim pickens right there. But I (God help me) agree with TFox. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 4, 14:05
- I'd use the Vince Young lottery ticket, but be very afraid. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 14:02
- Shoot the hostages. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 14:01 1
  - I thinking Garcia is the best play if that turns into a high-scoring game - Strongbad Sep 4, 14:01
Hmm. I guess they should be ST polls now huh? -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:58
TT Poll: How often are you attempting to post on TT in order to be the first post after the crash? -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:58 7
- I did it a few times last night when I only expected it to be down for an hour or two. now not at all. -- nm - mafic Sep 4, 14:21
- I did a few times earlier but my browser started slowing the whole system until I closed TT -- nm - zork Sep 4, 14:16
- You just outed yourself as a posting diva - con_carne Sep 4, 14:02 2
  - Totally. I'm forever jealous of Landbeck's mobious first -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 14:08 1
    - yeah, that was kind of awesome. -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 14:13
- Not at all. I just go over and check for new posts whenever I feel like ST is slowing down. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 14:00
- once every 12 hours. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:59
Reminder: Football Picks and Survivor League deadline is in 2 hours -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:57
LYC: I received my "Sharpie Prize Pack" via UPS today for winning the radio contest 3 weeks ago. - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:57 2
- Oops, better add that to the "Is Your Child A Tagger" diagram -- (link) - con_carne Sep 4, 14:00 [Image]
- Andie out-prized you today, sorry. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:58
I love that the top post on TT for the past 12 hours has been Stacy's ... that's hilarious. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:56 4
- I was just about to post how annoying I find it. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 14:00 2
  - i keep clicking my TT Bookmark bar link and seeing that. Drives me crazy too. -- nm - Andie Sep 4, 14:14
  - Oh, I know. That's part of the reason why I find it so funny :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 14:02
- At least it's not about one of her "Exes" -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:57
I just read an article that refered to "uppity" as a "racially-tinged term".....does this word have that definition? - Walt_Disney Sep 4, 13:50 16
- not definition but the connotation definitely is "tinged" to say the least. I've rarely heard the word since the 70s because of that. -- nm - zork Sep 4, 14:15
- I don't think of it as having a racial tinge, but that's because I learned the word from this book -- (link) - Roger More Sep 4, 13:59
- I think it's racially tinged, yes, even though I recently used it in a non-racial way myself. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 13:54 5
  - "Oh, look at you, uppity b!tch!" -- nm - mara SI Sep 4, 13:56 2
    - See...this is more of how I would use the term but more in a high maintenance or class sort of way. Never heard of it in a racial way. -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 4, 14:07 1
      - It's racial in the way (sort of) that the word "lynch" is racial. It's not really part of the definition, it's just that there's a history. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 14:19
  - ("freaking uppity scientologists...") -- nm - mara si Sep 4, 13:56 1
    - Heh, I knew this was going to happen. It was while I was trying to figure out if I was being told I couldn't work on my own time, and I said if - mara Sep 4, 13:59
- Colloquially. When blacks started becoming free and fighting Jim Crow, that word became a racial slur -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:53
- "Etymology: Fanciful extension of up. First used in the slave states of USA in mid 1800s. " -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:52
- because wen it was in more common usage, it was usually followed by the n-word. - znufrii Sep 4, 13:52 1
  - me please!!! -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:53
- Yeah, in the South at least. - nubby Sep 4, 13:51 1
  - I'm sure there's been a few Spike Lee movies that put it into the pop culture. I hear it from time to time -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:55
- Uhm ... class-aspersion-tinged, maybe -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:51
- Only when Reagen says it. -- nm - Max Sep 4, 13:51
Poll: next movie you'll see in theaters? -- nm - Max Sep 4, 13:46 8
- Tropic Thunder. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 4, 13:51
- I think it will be Bangkok Dangerous -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:51
- Indiana Jones at the cheap theatre. If not that, Tropic Thunder. If not that, maybe nothing til Bond at Christmas with the parents. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 4, 13:50
- Hamlet 2 -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 4, 13:50
- Eagle Eye or JB22. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:50
- Probably Bolt -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:48 1
  - Bolt or QoS are the only ones I can think of at the moment -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:49
- Hamlet 2 -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:48
Fantasy NASCAR news: Joey Logano is now in your C group. You're welcome. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:44
My iPhone now has the theme song from Chuck as the ringtone. (Cut myself from the original Cake song ...) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:44 2
- how did you do that? -- nm - Pete Sep 4, 13:57 1
  - Step 1: Convert the MP3 to an AAC. Step 2: Right click, get info, and adjust the start/stop times manually. Step 3: Right click, convert to AAC file - Beryllium Sep 4, 14:10
I don't like the way the question was phrased nubby. -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:41 12
- I'll redirect you to the Car Talk complaints division. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:50 4
  - we'll after working on it, I'm starting to see it -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 14:01
  - "I have a board that's making a lot of noise." -- nm - Max Sep 4, 13:54 2
    - But only after I've been posting on it for about ten minutes, and only when it's cloudy out. -- nm - mara Sep 4, 13:55
    - Get a new board! -- nm - Click 'n' Clack Sep 4, 13:55
- duh. -- nm - keanu reeves Sep 4, 13:44
- "Fuckin' nubby" -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:42 5
  - Get it right: fuuuuuuuuuuuuckin' nubby! -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:49
  - Bery needs to implement the scribble feature stat! -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:43 3
    - his cartalk question wasn't THAT bad ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:44 2
      - Oh shut up, you're just saying that because you kinda figured it out... -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:45 1
        
        Yeah, I'm uppity that way :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 14:03
In her first solo public appearance since last night, Palin again criticizes Obama and acts like a victim -- (link) - con_carne Sep 4, 13:33 17
- She has now convinced me of the utter importance of executive experience. Clearly McCain is unqualified. -- nm - pmb Sep 4, 13:40 2
  - Palin for President! -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:41 1
    - "Flip the ticket!" -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:43
- There's no victimization there. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 13:37
- beginning? -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 13:37
- Wait...I've been avoiding the news. Did Obama knock up her knocked up kid or what? - Trish Sep 4, 13:36 1
  - I keep getting her confused with Lynne Spears. I think Dr. Laura just recycled her Lynne Spears column. -- nm - Amy Sep 4, 13:40
- She's certainly being attacked by the news media in general -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:34
- I'm missing the "victim" part. -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:34 7
  - "blamed the Democratic presidential ticket for spreading "misinformation and flat-out lies" about her family and her." -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:37 6
    - To be fair, she doesn't blame the ticket directly, but 'Obama-Biden Democrats' - znufrii Sep 4, 13:51 2
      - Given that the talk earlier in the week was whether McCain would drop her over the "controversies"... - Ender Sep 4, 14:04 1
        
        well, of course the media would eat that sh!t up. - znufrii Sep 4, 14:21
    - I haven't seen the presidential ticket doing any of those things, so I would just call it lying. -- nm - pmb Sep 4, 13:51
    - That's not being a victim, that is making an accusation. Being a victim is "It's not fair, Obama is a mean poopiehead!" -- nm - TFox Sep 4, 13:39 1
      - Whatever you call it, victim or accusation, I am concerned that this is the way she is being introduced to America, this may end up defining her -- nm - con_carne Sep 4, 13:41
- "She did not take questions from reporters." -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 13:34
For all my awesome TT Sit-A-Thon sponsors: just found out the local news did a short piece on Camp Hope this year. -- (link) - TFox Sep 4, 13:31
Dano, do you remember what we liked so much about Bounce? - David Sep 4, 13:29
Answer - nub-b Sep 4, 13:28 25
- I don't get it - Guigue Sep 4, 13:29 16
  - You have to assume that everyone does what is their own best interest. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:35 6
    - But eventually one of the other two will be dead and aiming at him. Isn't it in his best interest for it to be the guy who misses 1 in 3 shots? -- nm - Ender Sep 4, 13:44 5
      - There are three possible scenarios: - Roger More Sep 4, 13:52 2
        
        So, since #3 is best... - nubby Sep 4, 13:54 1
        
        I need to work on my finishing skills. -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 13:55
      - Huh? He *is* the 1-in-3 person. He shouldn't shoot himself, that's crazy. -- nm - nubby Sep 4, 13:51 1
        
        The guy who *misses* 1 in 3 - Brown -- nm - Roger More Sep 4, 13:53
  - eaxctly. and he screwed both their mothers, which started this whole thing - Reagen Sep 4, 13:31 1
    - your mom. -- nm - nub-b Sep 4, 13:35
  - but *spoilers* - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:31
  - But the logical choice would be for the two best shooters to shoot at each other and ignore Mr. White -- nm - oblique Sep 4, 13:31 5
    - they're in a duel. I wonder exactly how logical they are. -- nm - Reagen Sep 4, 13:31
    - Okay, I was looking at something strictly mathematical, I tried to avoid the psychological part -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:31 3
      - It IS mathematical though. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:34 2
        
        Only if you factor the idea that Brown and Black will automatically shoot at each other. If you decide that there's no way to know who will shoot who, - Guigue Sep 4, 13:35 1
        
        BTW that's okay, I get the puzzle and the answer. I'm just saying that's not the way I looked at it -- nm - Guigue Sep 4, 13:37
- yet, one of them will still be around for round two? -- nm - crash davis Sep 4, 13:29 2
  - spoiler - nub-b Sep 4, 13:30 1
    - and more importantly - oblique Sep 4, 13:31
- Here's the explanation... - nub-b Sep 4, 13:29 4
  - If I'd been Mr. Brown - Max Sep 4, 13:32 2
    - what if Mr White - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:33 1
      - Bend the bullet and hit both. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 13:35
  - My answer sort of addresses this -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 13:30
