I drove today. go out to lunch, or no? note: there's nothing nearby, so I would have to take a looooooong lunch. I have no date, so I would have to - amanda Mar 7, 08:56 1
- Go out to lunch, wait for someone, eventually order, claim to have been stood up, burst into tears, eat for free. -- nm - Roger More Mar 7, 09:00
Maybe I'm just an optimist, but perhaps this backlash against sexism and assault in the Southern Baptist Convention will lead to actual change. -- (link) - Mop Mar 7, 08:56

        You tell me. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Mar 7, 09:00 4
        
        You just proved me right. "Women, not Animal, was the first single off of Hysteria." No location mentioned. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:02 3
        
        “the U.S. and Canada where "Women" was the first single.” - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Mar 7, 09:04 2

Johnny Rotten went after Marky Ramone (as in a fight) and Henry Rollins (in put downs) at an event... -- (link*) - Remlik Mar 7, 08:33 6
- I like what L7’s Sparks says in the last paragraph: - mud Mar 7, 08:52 1
  - Yeah, that's cool. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 7, 08:54
- He's putting on a show like Andy Kaufman. But he's walking a fine line. Rollins is taking it good naturedly. He could destroy Rotten. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 08:50 1
  - oh I agree. THough the stuff with Marky Ramone is a decades long feud. -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 08:51

- 21 deaths in 2 months is dramatic tho -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 7, 09:03
- but, if the track is causing unusual or excessive injuries that don't happen elsewhere, the end result is the same, right? -- nm - Andie Mar 7, 08:44 1
  - Sounds like the rain and mud contributed so the track conditions are part of it -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 7, 08:46

  - probly later -- nm - mud Mar 7, 08:56
- Sauron shows back up in the second age, right? When does he make the ring of power? -- nm - Inigo Mar 7, 08:48 4
  - he's in all three ages, but the rings are made in the 2nd -- nm - mud Mar 7, 08:55
  - It's a 3,000 year period. So... somewhere in the middle? -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 08:54 2
    - Looking it up, yes - 1500 years into the Second Age -- (link) - Roger More Mar 7, 08:56 1
      - Also, I'll be the first to say that at last they're making an LotR adaptation that covers a 3000 year period, rather than just feeling like it does. - Roger More Mar 7, 08:58
- For those unclear on what this means, "OH SHIT, they're adapting The Silmarillion." -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 08:41 2
  - Yeah, there are at least 20 seasons in that one book. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 08:44 1

    - right on. thanks. -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 08:28 1
      - I mean, I was hoping for the 1st Age (and a successful run of 9 seasons!) but after all the rumours w/ it starting in the 3rd, this makes mud smile -- nm - mud Mar 7, 08:34

- Technically, you can anywhere. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 08:31
- ty97 is probably right, but I can confirm with certainty that it's legal in Oregon. -- nm - Mop Mar 7, 08:06
- I'm pretty sure most places you can unless a sign says otherwise. NYC is an odd exception that we don't allow it at all -- nm* - ty97 Mar 7, 07:51 6
  - Makes sense to allow it in less dense cities with less people walking around. -- (link) - Krusty Mar 7, 07:59 [youtube]
  - yeah, I think it's in every state now (with exceptions like NYC) -- nm - decline Mar 7, 07:57 3
    - I don't see why not - if there's no one coming the other way and no one walking across the street - it's stupid to have to sit there and wait. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 7, 08:07 2

- you got your Hogwart's letter? -- nm - Andie Mar 7, 06:35 6
  - Please, she's Beauxbatons all the way. Probably even a legacy. :) -- nm* - Baronan the Accuser Mar 7, 06:39 5
    - do you think Beauxbatons sends letters? or do you get your notice in the form of an elaborate spun-sugar castle that opens to release singing doves - Andie Mar 7, 07:13 4
      - At Beauxbatons, acceptance messages are delivered by a singing snail. Tradition holds that the snail is then eaten by the new student. -- nm - J.K. Rowling si Mar 7, 08:03 1

  - I had ice cream last night for the first time in probably 3 months - while delicious it wasn't a whole ton of fun -- nm - decline Mar 7, 06:53
"I haven't seen [student] in class since the very start of the term." "Oh, he was arrested. Whole family picked up." "Ah. Well then." -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 05:46
