  - well, unless the repair guy is snowing me, I'm looking at like $400+ *before* replacing the motor -- (edited) - just oblique Apr 9, 10:28 1

  - I think you don't understand pea soup... -- nm - Beaker Apr 9, 10:10 5
    - As I understand it, pea soup is an attempt to save overboiled peas. Hear that, soup child? You were an unintended mistake. -- nm - Max Apr 9, 10:11 4
      - we must be thinking of different soups, my pea soup is a way of revitalizing dried peas -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 10:36 3

- Tottenham Hotspur -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 10:11 4

    - A little too “on trend” for my tastes, though. :) -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 9, 10:33 2

  - Even here I think that must be annoying to spell to people. - Reagen Apr 9, 10:20 5
    - Siobhan was a contender for girl #2, but I have to correct people on my version pretty much every time, so we opted out of that level of cruelty. -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 9, 10:23 4
      - I have a cousin (or second cousin or whatever) in Ireland named Niamh. - ty97 Apr 9, 10:24 3
        
        It's like the Irish were actively fucking with the English on some of these. - Shaun Apr 9, 10:26 2
        
        And then there's whatever the fuck the Welsh were up to - Reagen Apr 9, 10:30 1

- My guess - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:55 2
  - close (spoilers) - ty97 Apr 9, 09:56
  - Nope. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:56
- no clue, and my guess (spoilers) - ty97 Apr 9, 09:53 1
  - Holy smoke me too. My guess was more along the lines of....spoiler - volnelk Apr 9, 09:56
Suffer paraskevidekatriaphobia no longer. This Friday the 13th, something good will happen. Amazon will release Bosch. -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:47 11
- Luposlipophobia remains sadly untreated. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 09:50 6
  - prescription carpeting? -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 10:05
  - Is that the fear of LAPD bureaucracy? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 09:54 4
    - no, silly. Everyone knows it's the fear of being pursued by timberwolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a freshly waxed floor -- nm - prayformojo Apr 9, 09:56 3
      - Ever see a dog scramble around the table on a slick kitchen floor, no worries mate. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 9, 13:17
      - *flies* -- nm - wolf Apr 9, 10:10
      - This guy Far Sides. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 10:06

*reads label* man, Rolo Peanut Butter are objectively terrible for you. And they're surprisingly poor tasting. - Reagen Apr 9, 09:29
I thought he *was* a pitcher -- nm - prayformojo Apr 9, 09:17
That's pretty much a slam dunk MVP season, right Will? - Reagen Apr 9, 09:15 1
- Yeah. MVP's usually like an 8 WAR. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 09:54
Trump says he’ll make a decision on military retaliation for Syrian chemical attack in 24 to 48 hours. - znufrii Apr 9, 09:12 12
- oh. and he also says China has really done a number on this country, but he doesn't blame them. He blames the people running our country. - Jovian Apr 9, 09:26 5
  - *spoilers* - Strongbad Apr 9, 09:30 3
    - ~now put your hands up whoa up~ -- nm* - Reagen Apr 9, 09:35

  - DEEP STATE -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 09:27
- he has to wait until Fox & Friends tomorrow morning. -- nm - Jovian Apr 9, 09:24 2
  - Or until he creates another Twitter distraction and everyone forgets about Syria long enough for him to claim victory without actually doing anything. -- nm - znufrii Apr 9, 09:29 1
    - I saw him talk a couple months ago and he said he had saved coal already. He likes claiming victory, even when he does little to nothing. -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:36
- I like that we have a president that does not telegraph his moves like Obama. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 09:12 2
  - Hi! No. -- nm - The rest of the world dealing with 2yr old toddler Apr 9, 09:25
  - And that. - znufrii Apr 9, 09:14
Spawn, I suppose if there is a market now for Smallville overview articles a good one would be "Looking for hidden kinky freak in Chloe" -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:10 13
- I was Team Chloe. - Spawn Apr 9, 09:11 12
  - depending on the episode and how I felt, I was either Team Lois or Team Permanently Encasing Kryptonite Tomb -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:13 5
    - I got snookered in a bit; the first episode I saw was the one with Lex in the asylum as Cash's Hurt played. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 09:58 1
      - I can see how that would be misleading. -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 10:03
    - Well yeah, I was Team Lois. But there was no Lois to be a team of for quite a while. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 09:15 2
      - I didn't watch for a while. The first season I started watching was the season Lois showed up. -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 09:18 1
        
        I somehow watched from the start. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 09:22
  - You choose poorly -- nm - eag Apr 9, 09:13 5
    - I meant in hindsight - eag Apr 9, 09:15 1

        Yes. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 09:38
One more PoGo poll: Do you keep at least one of everything? - ty97 Apr 9, 09:10 25
- Yup. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 10:20
- Yep -- nm - eag Apr 9, 09:20
- Nope - I don't always have the super easy to find ones in my bag. nm - Ash Apr 9, 09:15 17
  - 616 and no shiny here. - ty97 Apr 9, 09:17 16
    - Subpoll? What shinies do you have? -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 09:31 15
      - List inside: - Ash Apr 9, 09:44 9
        
        Apparently I need to come play PoGo in Tha Lou! - ty97 Apr 9, 09:45 6
        
        I've been pretty lucky in regards to shinies. nm - Ash Apr 9, 09:51 5
        
        I was honestly wondering if the game somehow banned me from shinies. - ty97 Apr 9, 09:53 4
        
        Yeah - love my Red Gyrados. Thx for the info on the Latios(as) thing. - Ash Apr 9, 09:55 3
        
        I just started raiding recently. Moltres, Mew, and Latios last week were my first legendaries. - ty97 Apr 9, 09:56 2
        
        Oh wow. Well, be glad you didn't raid Moltres. nm - Ash Apr 9, 10:02 1
        
        I'd been stockpiling candy for the shiny karp I haven't caught - ty97 Apr 9, 10:04

        nmb Strongbad - Ash Apr 9, 09:49
      - My Aron, which I've kept as an Aron (I liked the red eyes). 1 Bulbasaur (now Venasaur). 4 Dratinis: 2 still Draitini, 1 now Dragonair, 1 now Dragonite -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 09:37

        In your Pokemon list, you can click the search (magnifying glass) and type in Shiny, it will show just your shinies. - ty97 Apr 9, 09:41 2
        
        Speaking of Legendaries - anyone have any Latios or Latias yet? - Ash Apr 9, 09:45 1
        
        Latios is the only one available in the US right now (it's a regional thing). I have one. - ty97 Apr 9, 09:46
- gotta catchem all -- nm - SyrDragon Apr 9, 09:13 2
  - oh sure, but doesn't mean you have to keep them all :) -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 09:15 1
    - NO CATCH AND RELEASE!!! -- nm - Trump Apr 9, 09:15
- nah. same as you, used to, but not now. (in fact, when I went to see if how many murkrow candies i have, i discovered that is something i don't have.) -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 09:11 1
  - 616 candies. And that's with skipping a bunch of murkrow -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 09:16
