In 20 hours, I run out of money on dot-com. In 19 hours, I finish gunpower research. Do I halt research to save money? I'm gonna have an aneurysm!! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:48 8
- run out of money and your army desserts. cut back production at the mills and pits (you get 3 per taxpayer per hour) and cut back research, you get - zeitgeist May 21, 09:59

Called Hoover Dam, the incredibly rude ticket office employee gave me some info - MDH May 21, 09:47 3
- I always end a conversation with a rude person with "Thank you! Have a nice day!" It totally throws them for a curve. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:49 2
  - I said "Thanks, I appreciate the info, have a good one" Her response: "Uhh... you too" -- nm - MDH May 21, 09:50 1
    - Niiiice. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:50
LYC: We had yet another quake last night. This might be the first time I have ever felt three quakes within a week. - con_carne May 21, 09:46 1

  - I am so far removed from AI that I thought Journey was making a comeback -- nm - Roger More May 21, 09:48 1
    - It's not AI! -- nm - loosilu May 21, 09:52
LYC: Just snagged another Amazon.ca $5 e-gift card using swagbucks. That's $15 worth now :) -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:40 9
- oh, i just signed up for this the other day. i haven't quite figured it all out yet. -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:41 8
  - Doh, I'm guessing you didn't sign up and use me for a referral :( -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:47 2
    - had i known, i totally would have. -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:47 1
      - We if anyone wants to sign up, let me know and I can send a referral email!!! -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:49
  - Easiest ways to earn inside: - Shaun May 21, 09:45 4
    - interesting, thanks. - Andie May 21, 09:47 3
      - I installed that, but the search results were so much poorer that it wasn't worth it to me. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 09:49 1
        
        they are, it's true. i use it for general stuff, but if i get poor results i end up going to google anyway. - Andie May 21, 09:52
      - Wow that would add up quick. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 09:47

- Tonight? Yay! - Beryllium May 21, 09:41 1
  - Love it so much more than I ever loved Idol. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 09:45

- ummm, what are we talking about? :) -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:40 7
  - oh, Canadian Idol? - Andie May 21, 09:41 5
    - But it was the number one show in Canada. Are they really saying it was a money loser? - Subversive May 21, 09:46 2
      - money is the reason it got pulled, i know that. -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:48 1
        
        Well the winners certainly haven't done anythign to help it. - Subversive May 21, 09:51
    - ...Ben Mulroney's hair wranglers... -- nm - Reagen May 21, 09:43 1
      - Shut up! My dad was prime minister, damnit! Just shut your stupid face! -- nm - Ben Mulroney May 21, 09:46
  - Canadian Idol production costs in these dark recessionary times -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:41

- dont know, dont care, but i hope this girl auditions again -- (link) - Guy May 21, 09:42 [Image]
- Sure, why wouldn't she be back? -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:42 4
  - there were rumblings that the 4 judges were too cumbersome. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:44 3
    - IMO, having four judges is not cumbersome in and of itself. For example, must every single judge comment on every single performance? -- nm - con_carne May 21, 09:49
    - Isn't Simon leaving? -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:47 1
      - It's been announced that he'll be back. -- nm - nubby May 21, 09:52

  - Nope. -- nm - kelly May 21, 09:41 5
    - Doh. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:42 4
      - My 2 Netflix movies still haven't arrived - were supposed to be here yesterday. - kelly May 21, 09:43 3
        
        Does Netflix say they arrived? -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:43 2
        
        They say they were supposed to arrive yesterday. - kelly May 21, 09:44 1
        
        Okay, that's not good. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:46
- did you get your football phone too? -- nm - dug May 21, 09:36

Hey smartheads, are there any easy proxy sites I can go through to appear as an American IP? - Subversive May 21, 09:32
I will get no sympathy here, but... - ty97 May 21, 09:31 3
- Unfortunately due to budget cutbacks, we can only afford a one-way ticket. so you're being transferred there permanently. -- nm - ty's boss May 21, 09:34
- soy kit kat! -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:33 1
  - totally. -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:35
An aside, Kelly Clarkson'e physical evolution into Meatloaf frightens me. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 09:31 6
- speaking of season 1, what was Justin G doing in the audience last night?! -- nm - Andie May 21, 09:32 4
  - He bought a ticket -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:33
  - begging for change? -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:33
  - Even the Valet guys get into the show. THAT'S how good Fox is to work for. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:33
  - serving drinks, probably. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:33
- Word. I always thought she looked pretty good with a little extra weight... - Jim May 21, 09:32
Glee update for the Fish: Currently, Don't Stop Believing is #1 on iTunes and Rehad is #34. -- nm - David May 21, 09:29 8
- I apparently listened to Don't Stop Believin' 53 times yesterday. -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:31 2
  - I occasionally do that with Car Crash. -- nm - David May 21, 09:32 1
    - I do it with I Can't Decide. - Callisto May 21, 09:32
- Rehab, even. -- nm - David May 21, 09:30 4
  - *laughing* I'm picturing a drunk slur-singing about 'Rehad' now. - ty97 May 21, 09:30 3
    - So you've been to an Amy Winehouse show. -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:34 1
      - yup, everytime I go to Wal Mart. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:37

- [deleted] 2
  - certainly better than Paul Rogers. - groiny May 21, 09:30 1
    - Laying down the law, that's what this gun and badge is for. -- nm - David May 21, 09:31
Also, it's been my experience that Jake Peavy trades get talked about exponentially more than they happen. - David May 21, 09:27
Ika talk: 4 paddle wheels + 16 mortar ships + 2 unidentified vs 10 rams 20 ballistas, 6 paddles, 5 catapault and 5 fire thingies...who ya got? -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:27 1
- and I could easily pull them out but figure screw this dude. He can have the 20 wine I left for him. -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:28
Also: Latoya London was robbed. - ty97 May 21, 09:26 1
- Yep. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:27
I'm surprised Gracin's second album bombed. He was actually somewhat successfull on country radio with his first album. - ty97 May 21, 09:26
Did we know this about Cyndi Lauper's vocal range? -- (link) - Inigo May 21, 09:24 [youtube] 5
- I am so tone-deaf. I can hardly tell the difference. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:45 1
  - Aside: I'm surprised she went back to the big hair. The short hair looked good on her. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:46
- can you explain to someone who doesn't know the tech stuff? who has a better range? -- nm - loosilu May 21, 09:42 1
  - I really don't it either, but it looks it's a wash between the two. - Inigo May 21, 09:46
- heh this is what I'm watching; Ukranian polka band singing Katy Perry's Hot n Cold -- (link) - Loyola May 21, 09:30 [youtube]
For the record, I think Cook has a chance to have a decent career. I watched a good chunk of that season and I think he's got some talent. - Subversive May 21, 09:22 8
- I *love* Cook. Don't care for his AI singles, but I figure he's their prisoner for now. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 09:38
- He sure is a likeable dude as well. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:24
- agreed. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:24
- I can say this...his is the only Idol album I've actually purchased. nm - Jim May 21, 09:24 4
  - I have 3 Kelly Clarkson albums. -- nm - Dano May 21, 09:25 3
    - she's the only AI album I have. - Mel Profit May 21, 09:41
    - not sure I would be admitting that -- nm - decline May 21, 09:30 1
      - i have the first two, And i don't watch AI. - Andie May 21, 09:31
Here's some behind-the-scenes chit-chat from American Idol (with the inevitable spoilers). -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:22 6
- did Megan (hot tattoo chick) get married during the season? - Guy May 21, 09:34 2
  - Wikipedia is unclear. They list them all as aliases. I'm guessing Megan Joy is her "stage" name ("Joy" might be her middle name). -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:37
  - She was married at one point before the show but got divorced I believe, she has a kid -- nm - Gwaahjo May 21, 09:35
- hey - where can i listen to some of the performances? -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:23 2
  - Probably iTunes, unless they're clipped on YouTube. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:27 1
    - dont want to pay for them :) -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:27
US might get an edited version of Antichrist (spoilers in article) -- (link) - Dano May 21, 09:20 2
- not sure why anyone would want to watch that (based on the last sentence of that article) - decline May 21, 09:23 1
  - it actually gave me a chill down my spine. Gack. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 09:32
hey groin...Underwood's 1st record came out about a year prior to Daughtry... - Jim May 21, 09:20 26
- Who ARE these people? -- nm - David May 21, 09:22 13
  - You live in frickin Tennessee!!! How can you not know who Carrie Underwood is? - Jim May 21, 09:23 12
    - I know her to see her but I've never heard one of her songs. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 09:26 8
      - Preview Before He Cheats....and Just a Dream. - Will Hunting May 21, 09:28 2
        
        I still really dig Last Name. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:29 1
        
        I like that one too, but it's same vein as Before He Cheats -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:30
      - I'm surprised by this. She hasn't been restricted to country radio, she's had crossovers. -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:27 4
        
        I probably don't listen to channels where she'd be played either way. - Callisto May 21, 09:29 3
        
        Fair enough (though she's not bad, really) -- nm - ty97 May 21, 09:30 2
        
        she might be fine. I'm not much for pop music in general. - Callisto May 21, 09:34
        
        If you like country music, she's VERY good. nm - Jim May 21, 09:31
    - I've bought several songs of hers off iTunes. Pretty solid all told. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 09:25
    - because she does not play for the Braves or Falcons. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:24 1
      - He's right, actually. -- nm - David May 21, 09:25
- He needs to hurry up and sleep with an NFL player. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 09:21
- I guess it just seems like she has been around longer. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:21 10
  - Exactly...cause she's been everywhere for over 3 years now. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:22 9
    - Its partly cuz she's another in the newer trend to have 5-6-7 songs come off a single country album - Will Hunting May 21, 09:26
    - I think I pay more attention to her because she is hot. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:23 7
      - Word. Daughtry doesn't do much for me in that regard. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:24 6
        
        And he's basically become indistinguishable from Nickelback and all the other pussyrock bands. - ty97 May 21, 09:28
        
        I did not watch her season of Idol, I started the next season. - groiny May 21, 09:26 4
        
        I completely missed her. Her an Bice were the finalists and I swore to my mom that they'd need to package her and pray she could learn how to perform - Will Hunting May 21, 09:27 2
        
        Yeah, she's surprised me too. - ty97 May 21, 09:29
        
        And now she owns whatever stage she's on. -- nm - Jim May 21, 09:28
        
        It was shooting fish in a barrell for her. There was no chance anyone else would win that season. - Jim May 21, 09:27
I've got 60 ships coming to buy my loot. Today, I crach 1 million gold in Ika-org. On Ika-com... someone please buy something! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:19 1
- No one buys jack squat on .com anywhere it seems. Lots of buyers out my way on .org too. -- nm - Beaker May 21, 09:25
Hey, Toronto, WTF is going on over there? -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:17 5
- wow, i didn't know. - Andie May 21, 09:22
- unidentified white powder in Ottawa scare -- (link) - Beryllium May 21, 09:21
- Yikes. Time to call in the SRU ... -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:18 2
  - I thought Flashpoint was on Fridays. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:20 1
    - It got renewed! Yay! :) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 09:20
Kris Allen reminds me of Hal Sparks (long time Talk Soup host) -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:16 4
- My God. So true. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:18 1
  - P.S. I didn't know Hal Sparks did Talk Soup. I know him from Best (insert anything here) Ever. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 09:18
- he is a combo of him and freddie rodriguez. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 09:17 1
  - good call -- nm - Guy May 21, 09:19
