    - oink oink -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 4, 07:33
- Well, it's awesome that we finally have a confirmed case! -- nm - psilotum Jun 4, 07:24 23
  - not yet, but given the current epidemiology, it's pretty likely. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:25 22
    - No considering what I know Trish does have Swine Flu. I am putting her down as ST Patient Zero. -- nm - Redmond Jun 4, 07:26 21
      - dude, seriously, let's not start. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:27 20
        
        Oh come on. It's hilarious. -- nm - Redmond Jun 4, 07:29 18
        
        I think at this point you're the only one who thinks so. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:29 17
        
        I have to admit, I'm finding it sort of funny. -- nm - Subversive Jun 4, 07:43 12
        
        Subby! I got home tonight to discover that the Salvation Army rejected the couch and chairs they were supposed to pick up today. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:45 8
        
        I'm not much of a Salvation Army fan at all. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 07:52
        
        They're snooty. I just give the stuff to Goodwill. -- nm - Inigo Jun 4, 07:51
        
        You're shitting me. Seriously? -- nm - Subversive Jun 4, 07:47 4
        
        Seriously. Granted, the kids have spilled some stuff on them, but it's not super noticable. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:50 3
        
        Try freecycle if it's active in your area. - Subversive Jun 4, 07:52 2
        
        Ooooh, that looks useful. Thanks! nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:56
        
        Freecycle is awesome! -- nm - Jim Jun 4, 07:54
        
        That happened to me, too. Any holes whatsoever. Fucking relaxation elitists. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:46
        
        Me too...but that's probably just the hate parader in me. -- nm - Jim Jun 4, 07:45 2
        
        honorary captain of the "Hatorade" float? heh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 07:55 1
        
        It's even funnier if you pronounce the "h" at the beginning of honorary. -- nm - Subversive Jun 4, 07:56
        
        The thought that the whole army base is freaked out over your flu makes you a defacto patient zero, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 4, 07:31 3
        
        I am to them. it's ridiculous. (that's two army bases, by the way. McNair and Myer). I got patched into a conference call yesterday. - loosilu Jun 4, 07:33
        
        we can only hope that they nuke her house just to be sure. - groiny Jun 4, 07:33 1
        
        I wish we had one of them doomsday machines. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 07:34

        Hee. Never heard it before. I'm not one of your longest-running TTers, though. -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 08:01
        
        i was starting to wonder that but i'm just plain old and not Old TT -- nm - zork Jun 4, 08:00
    - His is filmjerk -- nm - con_carne Jun 4, 07:52 1
      - *sigh* -- nm - Subversive Jun 4, 07:53

- My friend writes for dvdverdict.com. They review a lot of titles, but I couldn't say how comprehensive they are. -- nm - Subversive Jun 4, 07:22 1
  - Thanks to you too! -- nm - mara Jun 4, 07:23
- I like Digitally Obsessed, but I don't think any of the review sites out there are flawless. -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 4, 07:21 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - mara Jun 4, 07:22
- There used to be a great site for that. You could buy and sell movie stocks, and people would talk about movies all the time. Forget the name. -- nm - Redmond Jun 4, 07:20
- SlackerTalk -- nm - psilotum Jun 4, 07:19 1
  - I wish! -- nm - mara Jun 4, 07:19
Trish, didn't know that about antivirals. that sucks. what does that leave, sleep and fluids and tylenol? -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:17 2
- Yeah, and sudafed. -- nm - Trish Jun 4, 07:35 1

one of my classmates (who got a 760/800 on the GMAT; no small feat I admit) has his GMAT score on his resume. once you get in, who cares? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:15 44
- So weenie. Another sad overcompensating law student story: - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:22 9
  - he should have gotten a ring that said it across all 4 fingers. - groiny Jun 4, 07:26
  - hahahaha -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:26

      - How is the Oceania branch of Wolfram and Hart these days? -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:26 2
        
        Another day, another demon. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:28 1
        
        Same here. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:32
    - You thought Oz let just anyone practice law? -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:24

  - "Once gangbanged by 500 gay Mexican lawyers in one afternoon. Wasn't sore the next day." -- nm - Don Homer Jun 4, 07:22 1
    - a mexican lawyer? Is that just a dude in a sombrero with a shotgun? nm -- nm - agent Jun 4, 07:23
  - yeah, about that? You should probably stop attaching pictures of your wang. - ty97 Jun 4, 07:20 1
    - depends on what job I am applying for. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 07:21
- 100% correct. - ty97 Jun 4, 07:19
- exactly, once you get the initials after your name scores are moot. Although my brother beating me by 1 point remains the suck -- nm - Beaker, CA Jun 4, 07:16 6
  - my sister did really well on the GMAT but gave up her life for six months to study. I studied on sundays. sometimes. my quality of life was so much - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:18 5
    - heh, my wife was always mad at me when we were dating cause I could read something and remember it while she had to study non-stop -- nm - Beaker Jun 4, 07:23 2
      - I wasn't studying like vocab or history or whatever. it was mainly math problems -- brushing up on logic based ones, etc. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:32
      - I have to study, but I'm too lazy to do it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:27
    - [deleted]
    - I didn't study at all for any of them. Probably could have done better, but quality of life would suck, as you said. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:20
- agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:15 16
  - *whips out my 1520 on the PSAT* - nubby Jun 4, 07:16 15
    - I don't remember PSAT. Only SAT, ACT, and GRE (approximately, anyway). -- nm - psilotum Jun 4, 07:22 11
      - I only remember PSAT because it got me National Merit. (nm) - nubby Jun 4, 07:25 9
        
        get a tshirt made! (I know SAT and GMAT -- GMAT because it's recent, SAT because I kicked my ass studying for the math section trying to get 800.) -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:29 6
        
        The cool kids get tattoos. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:31 5
        
        What do we think, shoulder? Across the back? -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:32 4
        
        I think right across the chest, coupled with perma-shirtlessness. If you don't let people know, how can they know to treat you with proper deference? - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:39
        
        Oh, I know! Fist! -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:33 1
        
        not now. I am at work. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 4, 07:34

        I got a semi-finalist? National Merit - Will Hunting Jun 4, 07:26
        
        me too. at the time I am sure it was out of 240 points. -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:26
      - GRE is weird. High concentration of perfect scores, because of the demographic (specialists). -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:24
    - HAH! they're on a 2400 scale. ;P -- nm - loosilu Jun 4, 07:17 2
      - Now they are, but back then it was 1600. -- nm - nubby Jun 4, 07:19
      - shows what I know. 20-80 scale. I seem to remember the composite score being a total of 2x verbal plus 1x math, though, which would mean - loosilu Jun 4, 07:19

  - when nick (the dude, not wiggie's son) ran for class president, he listed his GMAT score in his qualifications. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:16 2
    - God, I hope my son is never That Guy. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 4, 07:24 1
      - our nick is super douchey. he bought an infiniti G35 to come back to school, then realized we were in pennsylvania and bought a land rover. - crabs love mandy lane Jun 4, 07:34
