speaking of drinking - (hi jack!) - there's a chance our LCBO employees (aka, the people that sell booze) may go on strike later this month. - Andie Jun 1, 08:17 8
- Stock up now.....the best part is that the strike is because all the part timers want to be full time with benefits.... - Walt_Disney Jun 1, 08:36
- Why in the world would the LCBO have a union? - Subversive Jun 1, 08:26 1
  - It's a government-owned business, so there's a union -- nm - Roger More Jun 1, 08:32

  - and take a good look at the nationality markings too! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 1, 08:25 4
    - They're probably just spraying the city with the hypno juice. Nothing to worry about. -- nm - Loyola Jun 1, 08:26 3
      - Park services crop dusting cental park -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 1, 08:31 2
        
        Now that's just silly. - Loyola Jun 1, 08:33 1
        
        yep but with a weather like that people are silly - Danedukenuuk Jun 1, 08:36
  - how would that be a clue to if it is a test? -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:22 4
    - if they're WW1 biplanes, probably not the Air Force. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:24 3
      - why not? - marcel Jun 1, 08:25 2
        
        Do you have any idea how much it costs to find 90 year-old spare parts? -- nm - Ender Jun 1, 08:33 1
        
        maybe that's why the govt. bought GM. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 1, 08:36

Grain of salt, since early details sometimes are inaccurate: The Air France plane reportedly hit a storm and encountered electrical problems -- (link) - ty97 Jun 1, 08:07 7
- [deleted] 2
  - I'm somewhat amazed in today's day and age that planes get caught in storms/weather -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:15 1
    - lightning can come out of nowhere, can't it? -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:16
- that's kinda disturbing since that's a very popular aircraft. My favorite aircraft in fact. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:09 3
  - The 300/330/340 always feel weird to me, because they have different noises than what I'm used to on the Boeing's I normally fly long-haul - ty97 Jun 1, 08:11 2
    - I've flown a bunch of A300s in the last year, loved them. I never notice the noises (maybe I can't hear them). -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:12 1
      - All planes make noises, of course, mostly on the ground. - ty97 Jun 1, 08:14
This Air France story is weird. Where did it go? -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:06 1
- The bottom of the ocean. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 1, 08:08
[deleted] 22
- if you go with the walk up you'd definitely have to do rooftop terrace - 'lia Jun 1, 08:42

- Both are great places. - ty97 Jun 1, 08:22 6

    - 424 W 46 will also be tourist-ville, yes? - ty97 Jun 1, 08:30 4

        I *loved* that neighborhood. it was so close to everything. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 08:37 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        ok, that's good (not that tourists are bad, of course) - ty97 Jun 1, 08:35
- I like the more modern one best. You could strangle whoever decorated the sitting room, but that's easily fixed. -- nm - Loyola Jun 1, 08:19
- let me say this: I live on the 5th floor now. my elevator goes out a lot. I don't mind much (unless I've been drinking heavily) BUT - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 08:09 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - also, I'm not going to lie: there were days that I was like, "I can't have that last drink; I have five flights of steps to walk up." (my building - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 08:16 1
      - [deleted]
    - I took the stairs on purpose all summer last year. it's a pain in the ass, I'm not going to lie. if you can't walk straight, walking straight up is... - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 08:14 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        yeah, that *is* killer. I would get the walkup *if* you're hiring (hot) movers. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 08:29 1
        
        speaking (hot or not) movers......... -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:31

    - don't forget monthly fees. :) -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 08:17
Bulgarian "Survivor" contestant dies during filming -- (link) - dug Jun 1, 08:05
androgeny is all the rage these days, hence robert pattinson. -- nm - mafic Jun 1, 07:55 16
- I didn't know who this was so I searched google. my first thought was he's the new teen matt dillon -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 1, 08:03
- I find him much less attractive since hearing he has bad BO (by choice). -- nm - LMS Jun 1, 07:59 6
  - you can find guys like that by the dozen on Lower Wacker Drive. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 1, 08:01 3
    - Or the L.E.S. in NYC. - lileve Jun 1, 08:03
    - which is an evil road. once you accidentally turn onto it, they won't let you off! -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:02 1
      - how do you think all those homeless people got down there? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 1, 08:04
  - ugh. no excuse. -- nm - lileve Jun 1, 07:59
  - I find him so unattractive that this barely changes my opinion. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 07:59
- I think teen idols are usually androgynous. less threatening. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 07:58
- It was also the rage when Johnny Depp was a young heartthrob (for others. not for me). -- nm - Max Jun 1, 07:58 5
  - i've seen your 21 Jump Street lunchbox - dug Jun 1, 08:01 4
    - I think max like the chubby guy on that show. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 1, 08:02 3
      - that guy has held up really well through the TV passage of time. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 1, 08:07 2
        
        so well that I can not remember his name. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 1, 08:08 1
        
        Dom Deluise's son Peter -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:09
- When I was a kid, androgyny meant 'Boy George'. Times sure have changed -- nm - Roger More Jun 1, 07:56
you can watch the Nurse Jackie pilot at IMDB. i was kinda meh. it's trying to hard to be Rescue Me in an ER for me -- nm - dug Jun 1, 07:52
Another new music gripe: since when did obtaining the *entire* new album get so friggin hard? - TFox Jun 1, 07:50 22
- I tend to agree. Though I'm not a music fullist for any artist, really, so this doesn't irk me too much. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:02
- it started about 3 or 4 years ago when the record companies started double dipping by releasing a special edition disc... - Remlik Jun 1, 07:58 4
  - Yeah, I know, it's silly. I'm actually ok with the whole "regular and deluxe both available on release day" thing. - TFox Jun 1, 08:00 1
    - And you call yourself a true fan. Poser. -- nm - 311 si Jun 1, 08:01
  - George Lucas syndrome? -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 07:59 1
    - kind of. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 08:02
- You're supposed to buy all of them, duh -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 07:55
- Bit-Torrent. -- nm - Jim Jun 1, 07:53
- biiiit torrrrent! - Reagen Jun 1, 07:53 10
  - see, I feel not good about swiping something from 311. i feel like i owe them better than that. - TFox Jun 1, 07:55 9
    - It makes sense to me, truthfully. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 07:57 8
      - I think I'd rather have 15 of the 16 tracks and wait for the other to be a singly-obtainable track at some point. - TFox Jun 1, 07:58 7
        
        I say fuck them. Buy the fullest album you can. And torrent the rest. - Jim Jun 1, 08:01 6
        
        The "band" probably had nothing to do with the exclusive deals. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 1, 08:25
        
        See, but if the past holds true, eventually they'll just put the bonus tracks for free up on their website. I just need to be patient. - TFox Jun 1, 08:03 4
        
        Just ask a nice Canuck to d/l them non-illegally and email them to you. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 08:04 2
        
        (how does that work? i don't 100% follow how that could be illegal in one country but not another.) -- nm - TFox Jun 1, 08:08 1
        
        We pay some BS blank media tax so as of right now, we're allowed to d/l anything non-illegally. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 08:10
        
        Ah...in that case...I'd wait. -- nm - Jim Jun 1, 08:04
- I'm often similarly frustrated. -- nm - nubby Jun 1, 07:52 1
  - I'm usually fine with assuming "if it isn't on the album proper, it's for a reason, I don't need it". But that doesn't fly for a couple bands. -- nm - TFox Jun 1, 07:54
- this is what friends are for. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 07:51
do we know about this? a la carte from sirius. -- (link) - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 07:48 10
- that is very interesting -- nm - Epiphany Jun 1, 07:56 1
  - isn't it? 'm going to start looking for a starmate five -- I renew in august. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane Jun 1, 07:58
- I kinda wish XM and Sirius would just...merge already. - ty97 Jun 1, 07:55 4
  - The channel numbers are different, and a couple of the "special" channels may only be available on one or the other. - Don Homer Jun 1, 07:57 3
    - I know some (many? most?) of each other's channels are now available across the providers - ty97 Jun 1, 07:58 2
      - Yes, that's what I indicated. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 1, 08:00
      - Have you seen my old friends Lucy and Fred? -- nm - lileve Jun 1, 07:59
- I think I have a starmate 5. I'll look into this. Thanks! -- nm - lileve Jun 1, 07:51 2
  - Hrm, Stern is extra and no XM channels. -- nm - lileve Jun 1, 07:54 1

I want to run, I want to hide, I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 07:45 7
- I endorse this song.. -- nm - Jammed Uzi Jun 1, 08:04
- Travis? -- nm - Loyola Jun 1, 07:47 5
  - I thought it was from this song, but it's not. - Loyola Jun 1, 07:59 [youtube] 4
    - Aren't you Irish!?!? Good lord. Epic fail is right! :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 08:00 1
      - :) yeah yeah -- nm - Loyola Jun 1, 08:02
    - The lyrics are from some little Irish band you're unlikely to have heard of -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 08:00 1
      - Big Tom and the Mainliners? - Loyola Jun 1, 08:02
