    - He was note taking at Quarks last year. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 11:51 10
      - The year before last. Hard to take notes while you are getting barfed on - Redmond in Sin City May 21, 11:55 9
        
        *note to self* "Sit next to anyone but Jax" nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 11:56 8
        
        One time. *One* time. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 12:03 7
        
        It only takes one time here. Hell I chase trannies and did that zero times -- nm - Redmond in Sin City May 21, 12:05 6
        
        I've never 'chased' trannies, per se, but... - Dr.McVermin May 21, 12:08
        
        I think I finally stopped chopping people up and putting them in jars, but it took years. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 12:07 1
        
        now you chop them up and paint a picture of it. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 12:08

        It was like a drunk cut off from his booze. Eyes darting toward the bulges on every man'ish looking woman up and down the strip. - Will Hunting May 21, 12:11

  - How does it feel to not have a soul? - znufrii May 21, 12:05 1
    - Some numbnuts called Islander over on Movies gives Wall-E an F- I knew they were breeding crazy over there, I just didn't realize how crazy. -- nm - Qale May 21, 12:08
  - There are people that say that about every one of their movies. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 12:03 1
    - it's true. It's because they don't give everything away in the trailers/commercials. - Callisto May 21, 12:06
  - I don't agree with this premise, but even if you accept this premise, it's a Pixar film. I won't doubt their films till they prove me wrong - musubi May 21, 12:02
  - crazy talk. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 11:56 1
    - yeah. -- nm - Callisto May 21, 11:56

  - Oh, didn't realize that was opening this weekend as well. Stupid people. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:46

- a Remlik? nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 11:41
- smock? nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 11:40
- smock? -- nm - znufrii May 21, 11:40
- you could possibly say it was a "bib", but that's a bit of a misnomer - Beryllium May 21, 11:40
- aren't they called capes? -- nm - Andie May 21, 11:40 1
  - No Capes!! -- nm - Edna Mode Salon May 21, 11:46
For the life of me my nickname won't reset no matter what I do. So that's the reason. - Redmond in Sin City May 21, 11:36 10
- You had better start a whole new account and ask bery to fix it. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 11:56
- I usually make sure that "Save this stuff" is checked, and then overwrite the nickname, and then submit a subjectless post. Does that work for you? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:37 8
  - already tried it several times -- nm - Redmond in Sin City May 21, 11:41 4
    - Just clear your cookies then. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:43
    - oh, and alternatively, head to slicker or slackertalk or hsxtt and try it there -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:43
    - try it and then hold down ctrl and do a refresh on the error page -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:42 1
      - (or shift or alt or whatever the trick is :)) -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:42
  - that stopped working for me in FF. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 11:37 2
    - Weird. Is it possible that FF's form management is filling in the blanks? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:38 1
      - I don't know. I had the same problem in Amsterdam with IE. Could not erase my userid/password for the life of me. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 11:42
One thing I haven't seen any mention of for ABC's fall schedule is the Fables series. - Reagen May 21, 11:34 2
- based on the comic book? -- nm - Guy May 21, 11:42 1

Finally broke 100k on Ike - Gwaahjo May 21, 11:33
4chan seems to have launched a concentrated effort to upload porn to YouTube. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 11:31 13
- DickRolled? -- nm - Dano May 21, 11:40
- Screwing with YouTube is one thing. Teasing that it's Hannah Montana or Jonah Bros content and to intentionally expose it to children is crap. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 11:34 9
  - Ah, I see you are familiar with 4chan's style. -- nm - tee-woo-gee May 21, 11:43
  - I assume the "purpose" is to show that [you] aren't protected online even when you think you are. -- nm - Qale May 21, 11:36 7
    - still, uncool -- nm - ty97 May 21, 12:00
    - but, but, think of all the 8 year old childrens surfing the youtube, and what their little eyes are seeing! -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:37 5
      - The internet is for all practical purposes no where an 8 year old should be unattended. It really can't be censored, blacklisted, or Net Nanny'd clean -- nm - Qale May 21, 11:39 4
        
        Hmm, I had hoped that the inappropriately pluralized childrens would have given away the tongue in cheek tone ... - Beryllium May 21, 11:41 3
        
        So you're saying the childrens shouldn't be on the internets? -- nm - Qale May 21, 11:44 2
        
        I don't have an opinion in the matter for other people's children, and I haven't decided what the future holds for my potential offsprings -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 11:46 1
        
        I don't think I'll ever have children adopted or otherwise myself. - Qale May 21, 11:55
- Good to see Anonymous is doing something useful for a change. -- nm - Qale May 21, 11:32
- But it's cool because they can. Tools. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:32

Prediction: White Ribbon will win the Palme d'Or at Cannes -- nm - Dano May 21, 11:22 1

  - Rofflecopter (sp?) made me laugh. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 11:26 1

    - I'm sorry, I did not know you were capable of jokes. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 11:55
I just got a phishing tweet from a friend that I follow. Check those URLs, guys. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 21, 11:01 2
- You know what's cool about Google Chrome? I won't let you just go to a phishing site, it throws up a full page warning in bright red and asks if you - tee-woo-gee May 21, 11:06 1
  - Innocent until proven guilty I say. -- nm - Loyola May 21, 11:09
Random thought: If MLB ever expands to 32 teams, would it adopt a 4x4 divisional structure? - znufrii May 21, 11:00 14
- I'd want a 2x8 alignment; with 2 wild cards. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 11:06 8
  - or take the top 2 in each division plus 2 wild cards, and do some crazy multi-game double elimination tournament to get to the world series. - znufrii May 21, 11:20 5
    - not -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:23 4
      - Oh come on, it'd be fun! - znufrii May 21, 11:28 3
        
        *throws znufrii off the upper deck of the stadium* -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 11:30 1
        
        too much? -- nm - znufrii May 21, 11:36
        
        *throws heavy metal football at your groin* -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:30
  - I'm so up in the air about wild cards. I like that good teams don't get as screwed by their geography, but - musubi May 21, 11:13 1
    - If they wanna give a legitimate advantage to the division winners, make em 5 game series, all at the home of the Div Winners. - Will Hunting May 21, 11:29
- I don't see any reason it wouldn't. -- nm - nubby May 21, 11:03 1
  - what would be interesting is if the NL went ahead and adopted it now. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 11:10
- My guess is they would add even more playoff teams, because they're stupid like that. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 11:01 2
  - four rounds of best-of-7 playoffs, wheeeee!!! -- nm - znufrii May 21, 11:11
  - I wouldn't say stupid. I'd say greedy. More playoff games = more money. (nm) - musubi May 21, 11:10

from the backboards and MOP's idea for ending American idol ... my thoughts... - i'm not dead yet ! May 21, 10:54 12
- I'm not sure what the difference is, but Clarkson's 1st album is 6x Platinum, Underwood's is 7x Multi-Platinum. - JaxSean May 21, 11:02 8
  - Hot 100 is the "top chart" Carrie has 1 on that chart (Her AI song) Kelly has 2, and a much better overall -- nm - MDH May 21, 11:17 2
    - Carrie has 8 on the Country chart, and one on the top 100. Clarkson has 4, between the hot 100 and pop 100. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 11:22 1
      - And Underwood has the "best-selling solo female country debut in RIAA history." That's pretty solid. - JaxSean May 21, 11:25
  - didn't one of Kelly's songs just go to #1 a couple months ago? (from the new album?) -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! May 21, 11:06 4
    - I'm not sure. Wiki is kind of weird. ("My life would suck without you" was #1 on the Hot 100, but only #4 on the Pop chart.) - JaxSean May 21, 11:13
    - I like the new CD. My favorite song is probably "If I Can't Have You" -- (link) - Dano May 21, 11:12 [youtube] 2
      - Same with me -- nm - MDH May 21, 11:17
