  - Sorry to hear that. I have a cold that I could hide no longer today, and the germophobe at work freaked a little bit. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 14:27 5
    - So you're saying that I can blame you. Or ty97. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 6, 14:34 4
      - I am partial to blaming ty, it just seems to have the ring of truth to it when you blame him. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 14:41

    - what you described are classic flu symptoms vs. cold, and they're pretty much what I had. - b. Mar 6, 14:24

  - I found out that there's a video store sort of nearby. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 6, 15:34 2
    - Oh yeah, video stores can still be found in poor neighborhoods or trendy neighborhoods.... seemingly no inbetween :) -- (edited) - con_carne Mar 6, 15:41 1
      - This one would definitely edge closer to trendy, although not obnoxiously so. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 15:41
  - I bet you don't miss it more than you don't miss having to leave your house every time you decide you want to watch something. -- nm - pmb Mar 6, 14:59 1
    - It was all part of the outing. If I was dating, we would pick out a movie - groiny Mar 6, 15:25
  - oh heck yes. I was just explaining this process to my nephews over the weekend. -- nm - Jovian Mar 6, 14:51
  - Yup, and I had one right next to where I worked for a number of years; that was nice. -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 6, 14:29
  - Just go walk around a Target while flipping through what's on Netflix. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 14:24 1
    - that is the problem in the world now, no one needs to talk to anyone else. -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 14:27
  - I discovered a bunch of movies I normally wouldn't have otherwise by doing that -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 14:15 10
    - There was a small mom and pop video store that had a rent 3 movies for $5, return by 6 PM next day. One summer, my brother and friends rented - JD Mar 6, 14:56
    - it also was good for walking up to random women with a built in Icebreaker -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 14:19 3
      - word -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 14:30

        DAMN THROBBITS! -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 14:19
        
        actually that one might have been Cinemax. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 14:19 1
        
        I am sure it was Cinemax -- nm - groiny Mar 6, 14:20

- Less than half a billion, right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 13:43 3
  - Presuming he can only tax Netflix on Americans, that’s about 55 million people at 5 bucks a pop. Which wouldn’t be enough to save “Blockbuster” -- nm - Qale Mar 6, 13:51 1
    - silly Qale, thinking that results matter ... I mean coal hasn't been saved but he is claiming credit for doing exactly that -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 13:53
  - (Er, in reply to qale) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 6, 13:43
- Especially believable when you consider how tiny a 50% tax on Netflix would be. -- nm - Qale Mar 6, 13:31
BB: top women fronted bands... wouldn't Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary count? -- nm - Guinnezz Mar 6, 13:30 9
- "Frontwomen" is just another way to sell you music. So whichever definition gets you to buy more albums or concert tickets, go with that - con_carne Mar 6, 13:47
- Is she the main singer or is it an ensemble? For me, to say the band is fronted by a woman would mean she's the lead singer. - Krusty Mar 6, 13:34 7
  - I didn't read everything but re: the women's lists on the BBs: Stevie Nicks seems to be given full credit for FM, so "suck it Christine McVie". -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 13:38 6
    - I don't even consider Stevie the main singer of the band. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 13:42 4
      - FM has 3 main lead singers. -- nm - Remlik Mar 6, 14:15
      - I watched a show on Lady Antebellum. When they were starting out, execs would tell them "No one has ever heard of a band with three lead singers" - crash davis Mar 6, 13:48 2
        
        I mean, they ALL sing. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 13:50 1
        
        Theoretically. The concert I saw, Mick Fleetwood just drummed and drank a crapload of beer. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 13:58
    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 13:41
Champions League spoilers. - Volnelk Mar 6, 13:27
If the Hatch Act had a cryptocurrency component, maybe we wouldn't see so much shrugging. -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 13:26
Spawn, most every conversation I have where his name comes up is in a business situation as well. - crash davis Mar 6, 13:25

    - I'm about to set my DVR to record it. -- nm - Krusty Mar 6, 13:36 1

  - clearance sales are extra for hemming, otherwise included -- nm - Guinnezz Mar 6, 13:13 5
    - hawing, as usual, is always included -- nm - decline Mar 6, 13:15 4
      - last suit I got at Macys after xmas sale, hemming was extra....but most were prehemmed at various lengths (pants/jackets sold separate anyway) -- nm - Guinnezz Mar 6, 13:22 1
        
        oh, *now* I see what you did there -- nm - Guinnezz Mar 6, 13:50
      - what you just did was bad and you should feel bad. -- nm - Diva Mar 6, 13:18 1
        
        I liked it -- nm - crash davis Mar 6, 13:28
  - That's not how you do pants! -- nm* - Spawn Mar 6, 13:10
- I disagree that it won't affect them. I just don't think that they realize that it will affect them and they will attribute the negative impacts to - pmb Mar 6, 13:02 5
  - Even when it was the bears, I knew it was them. -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 13:04
  - If Biden had been the candidate, Trump would have lost in the biggest electoral landslide since Mondale. -- nm - Jovian Mar 6, 13:03 3
    - And if Trump had not ran he would not be president. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 13:05 2
      - if Hillary hadnt pissed off Putin so much, she'd be prez -- nm - mud Mar 6, 13:06 1
        
        If we were as smart as China, Obama would still be president. -- nm - Spawn Mar 6, 13:10
Reagen, here are some pictures I'm not sure we ever sent you. -- (link) - David Mar 6, 13:00 [flickr] 1
- awesome, thanks -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 13:03
That corgi does look a bit overweight...but it would probably make a good pillow... - IrishStephen Mar 6, 12:58 17
- Hold my beer- no, wait I want to drink that. -- nm - Chubbers Mar 6, 13:16 1
  - and reclimb into the basement ceiling. I think I left a pop tart up there. -- nm* - Chubbers SI Mar 6, 13:27
- Did you learn nothing?! now the Corgi Mafia is after you. -- nm - Epiphany, I voted! Mar 6, 13:05
- the camera adds 10 lbs ya' know -- nm - Pax the Corgi Mar 6, 13:00 9
  - "How many cameras were on you?!" - Will Hunting Mar 6, 13:09 8
    - It's up there, but it just can't beat, "That's not how you do pants!" -- nm - David Mar 6, 13:09 7
      - "Ross?" "Sure...in PRISON!" - Will Hunting Mar 6, 13:14
      - "But they don't know that we know that they know that we know! -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 13:12 5
        
        That story, "Big Fat Goalie", and "Pi-Vot!" are their masterworks. -- nm - David Mar 6, 13:16 4
        
        "Everyday use. Facy. Guest. Fancy guest. Umm umm umm ... ELEVEN!" -- nm - Roger More Mar 6, 13:29 3
        
        and then the follow up "Well let's pretend *that* isn't true." -- nm - Reagen Mar 6, 13:41 2
        
        Actually, it’s MISS Chinandler Bong. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 6, 13:43 1
        
        Miss or "Ms." (mizz)? -- (edited) - Beryllium Mar 6, 15:42
- I think this is coming across more morbid than you intended :) -- nm - con_carne Mar 6, 12:59 2
  - That's entirely on the reader, buddy! -- nm - IrishStephen Mar 6, 13:12 1
    - Whatever you say, Cruella -- nm - con_carne Mar 6, 13:20
