... weeeee. And after all the bullplop that happened this weekend, a new dilemma has arisen. - Beryllium Nov 2, 23:04 3
- your pussy is a carpet-muncher? -- nm - pigby Nov 2, 23:07 2
  - Yes. Yes he is. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 23:08 1
    - (Also, is name is McFluffin, in honor of McLovin.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 23:08
I think I know where HSX got their "consultants". They're the guys telling the Blu-ray industry that everything's just fine. -- (link) - Mop Nov 2, 22:55 1
- No, really. People will pay significantly more for a product that is marginally better with a delivery system that looks identical. - Dano Nov 2, 23:14
Obama 2008 - Hey, maybe he won't bankrupt *your* industry. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, pundit Nov 2, 22:37 6
- Obama 2008 - If you vote for him decisively enough, maybe your industry will still exist by the time he is sworn in. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 23:05
- Like banks? Or automobiles? Or insurance? -- nm - Dano Nov 2, 23:04
- He has a rough row to hoe, that is for sure. - psilotum Nov 2, 22:58
- I think that should read "Maybe *he* won't bankrupt your industry." -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 22:54
- be happy you have an industry -- nm - Stacy Nov 2, 22:51
- look on the bright side, you get Palin back free and clear -- nm - pigby Nov 2, 22:38
Puppy feeding time...or ATTACK -- nm - BAD Nov 2, 22:08 2
- I need a link? -- nm - eag Nov 2, 22:13 1
  - Here. Momma's hogging the screen right now.... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 22:16
Stacy Hussein Switzerjust donated her status to get out the vote for Barack Obama on Nov 4. -- nm - Stacy Nov 2, 21:53 1
- settings-->full name-->look for blank that says middle name -- nm - Stacy Nov 2, 21:55
Weird. I just got a Spanish ad in the sidebar. "Ogni viaggio inizia da lei." -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:46 6
- I've had foreign ads for Nikon and something else on here. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 2, 21:55
- That's Italian. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 21:47 4
  - From the American perspective ALL foreign languages are Spanish. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:53 1
    - It's like I'm on the Amazing Race or something. Senor! -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:54
  - Whatever it is, it sounds dirty. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:50
  - *waves hand dismissively* - oblique Nov 2, 21:49
I guess Halloween is done. nick change. -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:39 2
- Might as well jump to a Christmas motif. That's what they did at my local K-Mart (skipped Thanksgiving entirely). -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:46 1
  - Kilbowl-full-of-jelly just doesn't seem right yet -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:47
*flexes Bioshock skillz* - kilbooo Nov 2, 21:37 15
- Got bored with that game pretty quickly... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:42 14
  - I kinda mashed through it towards the end to get to the final confrontation. My dad said I wouldn't be able to beat it but I did - oblique Nov 2, 21:43 13
    - YOU CALL YOURSELF A GAMER?! You ain't got no skillz, boy! You ain't got nuttin'! You don't know a grav gun from a BFG!! -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:48 2
      - I hope you get eaten by a grue -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:49 1
        
        > PICK UP KILBO -- nm - pigby Nov 2, 22:54
    - Great setting, but I didn't even get through level two... walk here, shoot that, pick up this, lather, rinse, repeat... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:45 9
      - it bothered me that dying had zero consequence. I finished it once for the story, but it wasn't compelling enough to make me try it on evil. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:47 5
        
        I only played the demo - eag Nov 2, 21:56 3
        
        The game does a superb job of creating a very creepy atmosphere. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:59 1
        
        Creppy with that retro feel -- nm - eag Nov 2, 22:12
        
        It is worth picking up on the cheap. The environment is top notch but the gameplay is on the repetitive side - oblique Nov 2, 21:58
        
        Yeah, that was probably the thing that bugged me most. Just made it too easy to throw caution to the wind -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:48
      - Not a fan of the FPS? :) -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:45 2
        
        Not really, though I'm enjoying Fallout 3. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:47 1
        
        I have a $50 rebate debit card sitting on my desk that is calling out to me now for Fallout 3 -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:47
Well, it looks like we can thank Dexter for taking the onus of "we must protect the chil'rens" off of video games. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:21 8
- Related: Didn't Barack tell parents to turn off the video games and yet is the first campaign ever to advertise in them? -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 21:40 4
  - video games aren't really targetted at kids anymore. -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:46 1
    - That's bogus. While there is certainly a matured element to the audience, there are still a plethera of games out there aimed at kids. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 22:30
  - kids don't vote. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:44 1
    - Not yet they don't. Bwha ha ha ha. -- nm - Acorn Nov 2, 22:31
- The guy looks downright spaz, but aren't Facebook status inherently written in 3rd person -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 21:40
- another story about it -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:36
- Oh, man, the digs at George Lucas ... cah-raaaay-seee ... - Beryllium Nov 2, 21:30
hah, suck it kids today: you're getting online report cards -- (link) - pigby Nov 2, 21:04 2
- we were always given ours directly by the teachers, usually with the warning "these are addressed to your parents, so don't open them!" -- nm - mafic Nov 2, 21:41
- Stuff like this fuels "helicopter parents" and teachers don't particularly like it. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 21:11
So, half my American friends have changed their middle names to "Hussein" the other half have donated their statuses to get out the vote. - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 20:52 23
- I was going to add "Hussein" as my middle name on FB but...there's no way to do so on my profile edit selections? wtf (how do married women do it?) -- nm - fun sized zeitgeist Nov 2, 21:20 3
  - It's not on your profile, but on "Settings" just to the left of Log Out. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 21:25 2
    - Looks like they won't let me, (they review all changes and don't allow stunts and weird stuff) -- nm - fun sized zeitgeist Nov 2, 21:39 1
      - I have a dozen people flaunting their "Hussein", so it can't be that strict. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 21:41
- And I just donated more money to Obama. I'm such a terrorist. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 2, 21:06 7
  - At this point, why would he need more money? Isn't it too late? (For either side.) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:38 3
    - I doubt neither of them needed my money anywhere along the way. Might as well just flush it down the toilet -- nm - kilbooo Nov 2, 21:39 2
      - I just wanted the t-shirt. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 2, 22:00
      - actually it will be put to good use by the DNC for future elections -- nm - Stacy Nov 2, 21:42
  - Hope you "win" the prize of going to his Election Night party. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 21:28 2
    - That would be awesome. I'll take the prize of him winning the election as a consolation, though. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 2, 21:29 1
      - I'm still not keen on the concept. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 21:31
- so, are all your friends terrorists? or communists? -- nm - fun sized zeitgeist Nov 2, 21:02 10
  - One of them has actually bothered looking up the definition of "Socialism" and posted it. - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 21:12 8
    - f*ckin' n*bby. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 2, 21:30 5
      - PhD's think they're sooooo smart -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:40 4
        
        nubby is such an elitist. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:45 3
        
        Probably a socialist too -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:48 2
        
        He does love to spread the wealth, but "wealth" means something entirely different to him... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 22:02 1
        
        Well, it is Pearl colored -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 22:07
    - It is amusing - I asked a couple people I know that were going on about Obama and his "socialist policies" to define "socialism." - Cuzzin Todd Nov 2, 21:27
    - He should send a copy to gjoshgreen. -- nm - Trish Nov 2, 21:19
  - one of each :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 2, 21:04
Puppy Battle Royale! -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 20:50 5
- It looks like green collar his this won... But wait, black collar is coming back into the ring! I don't think the ref saw him! -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 20:55 1
  - and now it's time to...nap. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 21:03
- I swear they're bigger every time I click over there :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 20:54 1
  - they almost aren't going to fit in that box. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 21:01
- "eat, sleep, riot!" -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 20:52
Joe the Plumber......... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 20:49 [flickr]
Entourage tonight, "A"--very tiny spoil - Trish Nov 2, 20:43
So my intial thoughts on Far Cry 2 - eag Nov 2, 20:39 2
- Hmph. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 20:42 1
  - Just doing what I do best - eag Nov 2, 20:44
*If* Obama wins, and *if* something happens to Obama, who do you think Biden would nominate as his VP? - CrankYanker Nov 2, 20:31 22
- sitting pres usually have a leg up on the nom, look at Johnson -- nm - fun sized zeitgeist Nov 2, 21:04 1
  - rethinking the topic, you realize what riots would break out, he's no Rodney King -- nm - fun sized zeitgeist Nov 2, 21:45
- I agree with you. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 20:59

  - "Everybody chill. I got this," -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 20:54
- Bill Richardson -- nm - Trish Nov 2, 20:37 6
  - I was thinking the Dems would want Hillary to place her in position for a Presidential run in 2012. I think Joe would have a tougher time winning it, - CrankYanker Nov 2, 20:48 2
    - how about we stop assuming the worst before anyone has even been elected from whatever party -- nm - pigby Nov 2, 20:58
    - As much as I would prefer Richardson, this makes sense. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 20:54
  - Hope so. - Sir Kumfrens Nov 2, 20:40 2
    - Mine, too. -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 20:51
    - The more I read about him and the more I see him talk, the more I'm just crazy about him. -- nm - Trish Nov 2, 20:45
- this is so out of the realm of what i even want to consider i'm not going to answer -- nm - pigby Nov 2, 20:34 3
  - BTW is pigby short for pig boy?:) -- nm - eag Nov 2, 20:40 1
    - nope. he's Kristen Chenowith's pet pot-bellied pig on Pushing Daisies - pigby Nov 2, 20:45

"You can't defend the perfect throw. What can I say?" - Manning Nov 2, 20:26
Yay, I got Delta to change my flight back to non-stop! - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 20:22 7
- That's awesome! -- nm - Mop Nov 2, 20:53
- I thought when you told us about it they'd canceled the direct flight. Can believe they just bumped you off it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 20:52
- congratulations. you'll have to teach me the Jedi Mind Trick. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 20:31 1
  - Well, I just did the old "hung up and call again" trick until I got a receptive guy. - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 20:46
- So wait, the exact same flight? -- nm - Spawn Nov 2, 20:24 2
  - No, I'm taking one the following day. - celedhrymandias Nov 2, 20:25
  - shhhh, they're going to give him sleeping pills in his drinks to make him *think* they didn't stop. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 2, 20:25
""I can't imagine he had any satisfaction making that kick." - Dungy at podium Nov 2, 20:19

- you need to stop kissing secretstalker -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 21:41

- oh, and tachycardic -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:13 11
  - uh dude - pigby Nov 2, 20:14 10
    - it's because I'm sick (I also am having my semi-yearly back spasms), so the increased hr has a reason I can diagnose -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:15 9
      - sfek: I only posted that because it's a sign to look for with pneumonia. pretty much I'm just waiting for the fever -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:16 8
        
        Do you have the headache yet? Can you feel any rales when you take a deep breath with your mouth open? - Trish Nov 2, 20:36 7
        
        oh, and about the last line of your IM: I agree, if there's a fever at all I'm going. I have no problem bugging my cow orkers -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:47
        
        Kaiser's giving flu shots at the local office this week. Guess I'll be in line :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 20:40 3
        
        I got mine about 2 weeks ago. our policy is that if you don't get the vaccine, you have to wear a mask whenever in contact with patients all winter. - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:42 2
        
        I missed it this year. Hope I don't get sick. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 20:43 1
        
        plenty of time still -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:44
        
        no. I would think it's more likely the flu than pneumonia, but I have no other symptoms other than what's listed - dogbert183 Nov 2, 20:40 1
        
        I've had pneumonia several times and it always starts the same way--I get real tired and have a headache for a couple days. - Trish Nov 2, 20:51
