- did they allow betting on redmond's dates? -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 17:17
Ouch...car ploughs into pre-school in Huntington Beach. -- (link) - MojaveMeg May 28, 17:03 6
- hmmm... i went to preschool in HB, but i don't think it was that one -- nm - Guy May 28, 17:05 5
  - Ah, that explains a lot about Guy :-) -- nm - MojaveMeg May 28, 17:06 1
    - I don't think anything explains a lot about Guy. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 17:14
  - I bet you've also broken tiles by throwing stones underhand. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 17:05 2
    - um.... huh? -- nm - Guy May 28, 17:06 1
      - oh, right, you were out of the country for that. Probably crossing the darien gap. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 17:06
spelling bee! -- nm - prayformojo May 28, 17:03
sitwap? or lost in the Prop 8 fiasco....Openly gay student elected prom queen in San Francisco. -- (link) - MojaveMeg May 28, 16:54 25
- I agree with the kids who said he won b/c he got votes from kids wanting to see a dude-on-dude dance. - TFox May 28, 17:22 2
  - What the hell was the point of Prom King and Queen anyway? - musubi May 28, 17:24 1
    - it's just a popularity contest, nothing more. I have no problem with it. -- nm - CQ May 28, 17:27
- Thinks once, then twice, then a third time about asking a question...does it anyway. - Stephen May 28, 17:03 20
  - My guess is he considers himself a "toP -- nm - con_carne May 28, 17:20 1
    - SFEK "top" (rather than a bottom) -- nm - con_carne May 28, 17:20
  - think once, think twice, think don't drive on the pavement -- nm - dogbert183 May 28, 17:13 1
    - Once, twice, three times a lady (with a weiner) -- nm - Vermin, Prom Qu/ing May 28, 17:15

    - like clockwork... -- nm - Stephen May 28, 17:16 1
      - heh -- nm - TFox May 28, 17:18
    - AND piss off the prom king. - Beryllium May 28, 17:11
    - So... purely for attention? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 28, 17:11 6
      - Sometimes attention is just what's needed to move things forward. Bigots come out of the closet when stuff like this happens. Starts a dialogue, - TWuG May 28, 17:19 4
        
        Not sure how much healthy dialogue you're going to start when your starting point for anyone who questions it or disagrees with it is to call them - Stephen May 28, 17:30 1
        
        Because they are...there pure and simple. If someone doesn't not think gays deserve equal right, they are a bigot - The Calico Cat Coalition May 28, 18:56
        
        Yeah, nobody's been talking about the gays lately. Especially in CA. About time we started that dialogue! - Dr.McVermin May 28, 17:24 1
        
        This is on a more personal level. Puts a face on things, as they say. And you're pretty damn predictable yourself. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 17:26
      - He's 17, and all over the evening news...what attention? :) -- nm - MojaveMeg May 28, 17:14
  - possibly because he doesn't buy into the binary construct of gender duality - znufrii May 28, 17:08 1
    - Thank you for the non-knee jerk response. -- nm - Stephen May 28, 17:18
  - As king he'd be expected to have a female escort/date? As queen he can go with his boyfriend? Purely a guess. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 28, 17:05 1
    - He says he originally considered running as king, but his friends said "but Sergio, you're a queen." He decided they had a point. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 28, 17:08
  - because he wants to surprise the Prom King with Unexpected Spanish Intercourse -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 17:04
- guy or girl? -- nm - CQ May 28, 16:56
You know, I'm frustrated by GM. - Mop (236 lbs) May 28, 16:50 18
- oh dear god - tRuMaN May 28, 17:02 13
  - Sometimes I've been short on money, and I usually asked my dad for a loan rather than declaring bankruptcy. - TFox May 28, 17:03 12
    - I don't blame them for asking for a loan. - musubi May 28, 17:22
    - Yeah, but in the meantime you're actually working hard to improve your sitch, so you don't have to do either again, yes??? -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 28, 17:16 4
      - you really think negotiating with numerous different unions, debt holders, suppliers, and such can happen quickly? - tRuMaN May 28, 17:25 3
        
        [shrug] I have no idea. - Dr.McVermin May 28, 17:28 1
        
        at this point no one`would believe them -- nm - tRuMaN May 28, 17:34
        
        The bankruptcy is good. The UAW having an ownership stake is good. - TWuG May 28, 17:28
    - Yeh but if your a company that keeps asking for money - eag May 28, 17:14
    - [deleted] 4
      - The problem isn't it being 72% gov't owned. - musubi May 28, 17:19
      - Well, it was either that or them ending because they went out of business. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:07 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Given the massive unemployment and ripple effect into suppliers, your tax money would have just gone there instead. -- nm - TWuG May 28, 17:12
- They thought the paln they had was working. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:53 3
  - and that plan was what, exactly? Sitting in a room with four walls, staring at a cupcake, and occassionally asking the government for money? -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 16:54 2
    - "We'll see it through. We just need to stare harder." -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 16:55 1
      - Sounds about right. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:00

I doubt my agreeance with Will on Cooley over Winslow will garner as much debate. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:42
Die Hard: Year One coming to a comicbook store near you in August -- (link) - Beaker May 28, 16:37
Rate my geekiness: Today I edited, burned to dvd, and created dvd covers for five History channel shows. - Stephen May 28, 16:37 5
- For your own use? not as gifts? 8 out of 10. - Dr.Vermin May 28, 16:39 2
  - Own use. - Stephen May 28, 16:45 1
    - After reviewing the titles below, I revise my estimate to 7 out of 10. - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:46

  - It would be awesome if "One dollar, Bob" actually won it -- nm - con_carne May 28, 17:25
  - stupid US only rules :( -- nm - Beaker May 28, 16:59
Why would you want a good pitcher when you can have a Cubs pitcher? (nm) - musubi May 28, 16:31
Also from B2. If you end the date like I do. Then a day or two later on the phone you say, "I just don't think we made a connection" - Redmond? May 28, 16:30 62
- a wig out, really? never saw that. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 16:36 17
  - You never saw it because you don't date women. Guys are more likely to say, F off and leave. Chicks do door slams, thrown things, cry. Omg crying? - Redmond? May 28, 16:40 16
    - omG a door slam! noooo! - kare May 28, 17:03 3
      - it's not good on the hinges. he's just looking out for the innocent pieces of metal - dogbert183 May 28, 17:10
      - I admit it. I don't like Wig Outs. Guilty -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 17:06
      - Yep. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:04
    - And you guys can't take it. Weak. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:40 11
      - I sense someone's received a few unpleasant phone calls in her time. ;) -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:45 1
        
        No. Not at all. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:48
      - It's not that we can't take it, we'd just rather not. - Stephen May 28, 16:43 6
        
        Plus, we want to spare THEM the public embarassment ... really, it's all about being kind to them. -- nm - Beryllium May 28, 17:05 4
        
        No I don't. If she wants to cry in public, I'm ordering popcorn for the show. -- nm - TFox May 28, 17:06 2
        
        Znuffri is coming out this weekend. If he cries I will watch and eat popcorn. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 17:09 1
        
        znufrii doesn't believe in the binary duality of emotional construct. - TFox May 28, 17:11
        
        *snork* -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:05
        
        *ding* -- nm - Beaker May 28, 16:45
      - you've obviously never been hit in the face with a toaster -- nm - dogbert183 May 28, 16:43
      - It's less about being weak and more about the path of least resistance. Or just being lazy. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:42
- Still a cop out. If you're ona date and it isn't working you're just wasting her time and yours. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:33 29
  - Public wig outs can be uncommon and still warrant taking time to avoid them. - Dr.Vermin May 28, 16:37 27
    - So you cop out 100% of the time to avoid that 2%? - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:40 26
      - I don't get in a car with strangers 100% of the time - dogbert183 May 28, 16:44 1
        
        If you're on a date you aren't strangers. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:50
      - I also buckle my seatbelt 100% in case of the (far smaller than) 2% chance I'll need it. - Cougar poolowner May 28, 16:42 20
        
        That last bit I really don't believe. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:47 18
        
        If they weren't going well, why didn't *you* end it? Who's the coward? -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:55 3
        
        Yep, she walked right into that. Game, set, match. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:56 2
        
        I have walked right out of dates. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:03 1
        
        ha! so there, boys! - kare May 28, 17:15
        
        Heh. Dude is the coward for not taking the out you provided instead of just saying it straight up? - TFox May 28, 16:53
        
        Jack Dawson made a great point on B2. Women use the, "I don't feel well" all the time. All the time! It's a total cop out. - Redmond? May 28, 16:53 11
        
        long story as quick as possible. I was given the "I don't feel well" statement one time while with a girl. we were out having fun (so I thought) when - dogbert183 May 28, 17:09 1
        
        in the IM ...."I'm ready" sould say "I'm NOT ready" - dogbert183 May 28, 17:12
        
        toootal eyeroll. - kare May 28, 16:57 7
        
        I use that one sometimes. (spoils) - TFox May 28, 16:58
        
        I like the dog excuse. But my point is valid. It's used a lot. It's almost code for I am not into you, because it's used so much. - Redmond? May 28, 16:58 5
        
        We should use it more, I think. Reclaim it for the dudes. - TFox May 28, 16:59 4
        
        hee! -- nm - kare May 28, 17:00
        
        "owww, my ovaries!" -- nm - Bart May 28, 17:00
        
        The difference between not getting sex on a date, and not getting sex when you are married. I don't feel well is used on a date. I have a headache - Redmond? May 28, 17:00 1
        
        and sometimes *shocker* you *actually* don't feel well! -- nm - kare May 28, 17:01
        
        I am stealing the obvious joke, so you can't use it. Maybe it's because you make them sick Redmond. - Redmond? May 28, 16:54
        
        *snork* -- nm - Stephen May 28, 16:51
        
        dammit. sfan -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:43
      - YES! -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:41 2
        
        To the IM right? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:44 1
        
        Eh, I don't like hearing it. The last woman I dated said, "I don't feel any sparks". It sucked, but I got over it. - Redmond? May 28, 16:46
  - It's a cop out. But I still do it. I don't disagree with you. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:36
- Phone??? Either they won't sleep with you, and then there's really no need to ever call them again. - Ryan Vermin May 28, 16:33
- I can't imagine ever ending a date with a poor verbal review. What's the point? - TFox May 28, 16:32 12
  - Believe this or not. I can be really annoying on purpose and get them to become not interested in me. I know shocker!!! - Redmond? May 28, 16:34 11
    - Sure, but if you're not going out again, who cares. - TFox May 28, 16:37 3
      - Well...if you don't mind being branded a loser. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:49 2
        
        I don't mind being branded a loser by a woman who I told she smells like cat litter. - TFox May 28, 16:50 1
        
        No it's the doing it by email that brands you a loser. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 17:12
    - And dishonest. - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:35 6
      - i actually love this. total win-win. she's probably not going to learn or gain much by his honesty (except perhaps be more gun shy the next time - kare May 28, 17:00
      - it's not dishonest for him to be really annoying. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 16:37 2
        
        Ding! -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:42
        
        True. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella May 28, 16:38
      - I don't date her friends. In fact I just turned down the opportunity to date a friend. - Redmond? May 28, 16:36 1
        
        you should have dated the friend. -- nm - kare May 28, 17:02
I can't help being excited about Qale's prospect, particularly since this year's ST theme seems to be marrying/shacking up......... -- nm - mara May 28, 16:27 7
- i am no one's little weasel -- nm - Guy May 28, 17:04
- The theme is passing me by. Where is my shack up??? -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:31 3
  - Probably wigging out somewhere, broken-hearted. -- nm - kelly May 28, 16:48 1
    - hee! -- nm - kare May 28, 17:04
  - Ty :) -- nm - peglegpete May 28, 16:38
- I thought this years TT theme was Ikarium. (nm) - musubi May 28, 16:29 1
  - *pillages kare's garden* (not a euphemism) -- nm - Dano May 28, 16:35
LIR: It's not like Gibson finished every game he pitched. You don't know going in whether *either* was going to go the distance. - musubi May 28, 16:26
mmmmm Natalie Gulbis -- (link) - Beaker May 28, 16:24 6
- I am done with Vegas for at least 3 years. I am going to try and hit some other ST events. -- nm - Redmond? May 28, 16:32 4
  - I think next year ST should enter the Gumball Rally -- nm - J May 28, 16:34 3
    - Naworlins -- nm - Remlik May 28, 16:36 2
      - TO! -- nm - Beaker May 28, 16:38
      - well it does go through there -- nm - J May 28, 16:37

some pumps are so old. I had no idea how to get into this sucker. stupid little tricky o-ring sealed cap underneath. bizarre -- nm - CQ May 28, 16:24 2
- And you call yourself a pool boy!! -- nm - mara May 28, 16:25 1
  - There's only one o-ring he needs to know his way around. -- nm - Cougar poolowner May 28, 16:40
Oh... well, it is Sam Raimi. -- nm - Dr.McVermin May 28, 16:22 1
- There are some instances where knowing movies should trump trailers. For example: all Pixar, Sam Raimi doing horror, Brad Bird or Miyazaki doing... - TFox May 28, 16:26
Kind of neat: New DS game, Personal Trainer: Walking comes with step meters. Also first DS game to use Miis. -- nm - Qale May 28, 16:21
