- Whew -- nm - Tim Nov 7, 17:19

- wait for it... -- nm - Russian hackers Nov 7, 17:16
- CNN called it too -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 17:15

- so for all the doom und gloom... -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 17:16
all you people accomplished with that thread below is to let me know that stupid puns will get me attention on Twitter -- (pic) - crash davis Nov 7, 16:36 [Attachment]
I just LOVE my Stalkee! Thank you Kelly for once again putting it together. -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 16:24
Oh. An Impeach Trump commercial. -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 16:22

I'm a Robert Mueller in a Carter Page world -- nm - prayformojo Nov 7, 16:07 1
- I'm a Mad Dog Mattis in a Wilbur Ross world.- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 16:43
One thing I really enjoy about our rounds of Stalkerism is figuring out those missing links between Handles and actual names. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 7, 16:05
Happy Birthday PosterBoy! Hope to see you around again -- nm - Amoxy Nov 7, 16:02 1
- indeed -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 17:12
Why are there waves of fireworks going off (about every 2-3 minutes) on the lakefront. Seems like a really weird time for that. - pmb Nov 7, 16:01
Besides that, Thor was a lot of fun. I give it a solid A. (Spoilers) - Amoxy Nov 7, 15:59 4
- Was *spoils* - Pippy Nov 7, 16:03 3

    - Also Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (or was that just the trailer) -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 16:29 1
      - Dragon Tattoo had a Reznor cover of it. School of Rock had it. -- nm* - Ender Nov 7, 16:42
Will, but this potentially means - Tim Nov 7, 15:51 8
- But he isn’t champion and that’s a good thing now. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 15:53 7
  - I still expect Jinder vs. Brock. Vince doesn't want someone AJ's size facing off with Brock. -- nm - David Nov 7, 15:54 6
    - They need someone to create movement for Brock since he stopped doing that on his own a year ago -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 15:56 5
      - They'd be better served using KO for that role. - David Nov 7, 15:58 4
        
        They're both former IGWP champs, and that org doesn't fool around. AJ and Brock could make it work -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 16:00 3
        
        Brock stopped trying several years ago. -- nm - David Nov 7, 16:03 2
        
        He’s even phoned it in with someone quality like Samoa Joe. -- nm - Tim Nov 7, 17:02
        
        unless he can make money with you. He made Goldberg look good. but yeah if he isn't motivated it won't work -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 16:33

  - this -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 16:36
- Dam. I've felt your pain. Sorry for you loss. -- nm - . Nov 7, 15:50
Thing that annoys me about that paperclip game. If I'm producing 300,000 clips per second and selling 90,000 clips per second, why is my inventory - pmb Nov 7, 15:36 19
- I played for five minutes and just quit. Just useless. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 15:54 9
  - Though in the big picture aren't all games just useless? - JD Nov 7, 16:10 2
    - Next, you'll question the naming conventions of Final Fantasy. -- nm - David Nov 7, 16:17
    - not Mario Kart, that's for sure - prayformojo Nov 7, 16:12
  - Oh, no no. It gets much more involving and complex. nm - Dignan Nov 7, 15:56 5
    - I've hit sort of a frustrating lull. The projects are all out of reach for quite a while. - pmb Nov 7, 16:04 2
      - Projects pop up out of the blue all the time. - Dignan Nov 7, 16:08 1
        
        Yeah, I've done that. I'm relatively far in and it seems to have stagnated for the last several hours. - pmb Nov 7, 16:18
    - Oh God yes. I'm seriously thinking this might be one of my favorite games of the year. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 7, 16:03 1
      - I agree with cynicumber. nm - Dignan Nov 7, 16:12
- worker theft -- nm - peglegpete Nov 7, 15:41

  - That was me at 4:30 AM -- nm - Dano Nov 7, 16:36
  - I've got a really quick trigger with these time suck games lately -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 16:07 1
    - I'm just glad it's not on Facebook -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 17:10
  - It is. I've gotten nothing done today. I'm finding I have to make 4-5x what I'm selling to stay stable. Even as I add more megaclippers, it's still - pmb Nov 7, 15:43 1
    - I think it's an averaging thing. I find I have to keep my production like 20% higher than my average sales, and have a fair bit of unsold stock. - mafic Nov 7, 16:33
- I was going to ask "what is this paperclip game you are talking about?" earlier. I think I'm glad I didn't. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 15:40 1
  - It's a total time suck, but now I want to beat it. -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 15:41
Mike Evans 1 game suspension upheld. OUT vs Jets -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:32 3
- The Texans have released Matt McGloin and signed veteran journeyman Josh Johnson -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:33 2
  - Johnson was clearly the best QB available. -- nm - David Nov 7, 15:35 1
    - Well, I'm sure he's a real stand up guy. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 7, 16:43
In a morbid coincidence, the nearest city was Holiday, Florida. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 15:26 1
- The brutal part is that the city's police spokesman is a close friend of Doc. Their kids play PeeWee League together. -- nm - David Nov 7, 15:29
Is it my browser or is ST no longer storing recent posts? When I start typing I don't get previous posts. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 15:09 11
- I made some changes a few weeks ago, in order to implement the auto-expanding input box. That probably broke the browsers. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 16:37 3
  - please change it back. -- nm - mud Nov 7, 16:43 2
    - It’s incompatible with textarea. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 16:48 1
      - Booo. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 17:18
- Pretty sure that's something in your browser. Try clearing your cache, etc.? -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 15:23 5

  - Tosh, L&O, Drop the Mic, Jim Jeffries, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 15:08
When you went to school, did you ever have safety drills for external threats beside tornadoes? - zeitgeist Nov 7, 15:07 24
- Only earthquake and fire. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 16:59
- I went to an international school in Switzerland during the first Gulf War. I'm pretty sure there was a credible bomb threat one day. - mafic Nov 7, 16:37 1
  - oh, also after that they took the school name off all the buses, and we got a guard. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 16:41

- Fire and earthquake drills. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 7, 15:17
- Fire. I think that was it. Maybe hurricane? -- nm - elf kelly Nov 7, 15:16 2
  - Hurricane did you stay under your desk for the 3-4 days before it got there? -- nm - Bacon Nov 7, 15:30 1
    - Heh. We had a few whoppers when I was in elementary school and I don't remember if they told us where the safest parts of the house/school were just - elf kelly Nov 7, 15:51
- Tornado and fire. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 15:14
- I remember air raid drills when I was in kindergarten. - pmb Nov 7, 15:14
- I mean, sure, earthquake drills. Edit: Oh, I guess you mean some kind of attack/swarm of locusts/rain of blood. Nope. -- nm* - con_carne Nov 7, 15:12

- not enough updates from you so I'm not feeling it yet -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 14:54
It took me a long time to get this joke. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 7, 14:43 17
- C'mon Bery, share with the class. - IrishStephen Nov 7, 15:08
- I don't get it -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 14:47 15
  - worst joke ever -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 14:52
  - "Exits" can mean exit polls. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 14:50 12
    - I still don't get the joke. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 15:10 11
      - It’s still not funny -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 15:31

        But if we delete everything on ST that's a waste... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 7, 15:46
        
        heh. this. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 15:43
        
        Bery's just showing off his intellect, like saying he beat Paperclip Factory in five hours. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 15:31
        
        I thought maybe the names were similar or like you said that the numbers meant something but no. - Krusty Nov 7, 15:29
      - There's an election in Virginia. Everyone's waiting for the exit polls, or "exits." Hey, here are some Virginia exits. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 15:18 2
        
        Thanks! I thought there was more to it and was expecting it be something clever that I was missing. - Krusty Nov 7, 15:39 1

Speaking of N's school - we officially had him switched over to his new teacher last week. - elf kelly Nov 7, 14:40 8
- Glad to hear that. Is it the change in teaching styles or personality that you think is helping him with his behavior issues? -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 7, 15:17 2
  - I think it’s partially a personality thing, partially thatthe teacher has experience with gifted students so she has more resources - elf kelly Nov 7, 15:44 1
    - Yup, it can be a long process, but it definitely sounds like you have a good working relationship with the teacher(s)/principal at N's school. - IrishStephen Nov 7, 16:33
- I'm very happy to hear this. Best of luck going forward. -- nm - Krusty Nov 7, 14:59
