Heh. Deep thoughts from Matt Yglesias: "Now would be a good time for Larry Johnson to release that Whitey tape." -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:12 1
- "Whitey wait. Whitey wait til the last minute!?" -- nm - McCain, Nov 5 Nov 3, 08:13
There's a blog for everything: the fashions of Michelle Obama. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:11 1

- With the higher turnout, I think there will be a number of states that extend the time polls stay open. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 08:13
- Sure they can if he's got 270. -- nm - Cuzzombie Todd Nov 3, 08:12 1
  - It's a different story if he's already got 270. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:14
- i think some will call it on their projections depending on how close they are to what was expected by the time it gets to 200 or so -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:10
- predict the outcome, officially call it as soon as the polls close. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 08:08
- They don't call until he clears 270. If that means waiting on Hawaii, they wait on Hawaii. Realistically, they'll be - TWuG Nov 3, 08:06 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - Did not know that. Figured it was far enough out to be another time zone. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:07 3
      - It is, but the polls aren't all open to the same local time. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:08 2

        That would be great. Ours are 6-6. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 08:13
- I believe they won't call a state until polls close in that state and they won't call a winner until the called states = 270+ electoral votes. -- nm - JCVDano Nov 3, 08:05
- They can't call it since quite honestly, they don't know what's gonig to happen out west. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:05 4
  - yep, they got in big trouble in the past (I think Reagan 2nd term) for calling it before polls closed out west. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 08:07 3
    - IIRC, here they often call it not long after Ontario polls close -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:12 2
      - What time did they close? The election programming started at 9:00 or 9:30 and I thought that was because they had to wait until polls closed in BC... - Roger More Nov 3, 08:13 1
        
        they blackout the coverage in the west until the polls close there -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:15
- I think they'll do everything but call it. - Reagen Nov 3, 08:05 1
  - [deleted]
- Dude...they'll call it at noon, if they get to be first. nm - Jim Nov 3, 08:04
Free album from Amazon. -- (link) - mara Nov 3, 08:02 4
- frickin' canadian-hating amazon music store -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:04 3
  - "It's not a really country anyway!" - lileve Nov 3, 08:10 2
    - just wait until you want our virtual kids to go to a canadian school -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:14 1
      - who said we're having kids? -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:19
Best of the weekend: Sitting in a bar in Athens, OH watching the costumed revelers outside. Worst: Speeding ticket. 66 in a 55. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 08:02 3
- which bar? -- nm - Max Nov 3, 08:12 1
  - Casanueva. It was gay dance night and 3 of the 7 people in our party (including our host) were of that demographic. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 08:22
- i went to a play -- nm - pigby Nov 3, 08:03
Reagen, could you verify that you've received my entry to the contest? -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 08:01 7
- Yes, I've gotten it. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:02 6
  - Mine as well? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:04 5
    - yes. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:05 4

Election Eve CC - US Senate #3589957. (Doubles, I need a running mate) - password = slackertalk. -- nm - JCVDano Nov 3, 08:00
great, now obama has ads on hulu. swell. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 07:58
Also, I know I'm a day or two late to this party, but that Affleck Olbermann sketch is hilarious. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 07:55 20
- I'm glad they did that. The point was lost though on my friends who don't watch Olbermann. (german coats and Target cracked me up) -- nm - Max Nov 3, 08:06
- I agree. I hate the fact that someone gave Olbermann an outlet to speak for me. nm - Jim Nov 3, 08:00 1
  - he's totally over the top but I'm glad he's around to counter balance the Faux News folks... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:14
- Really? I thought it went on about 2 minutes too long. - musubi Nov 3, 07:59 11
  - I think that was part of the point... - nubby Nov 3, 08:02 5
    - Yeah, but if it's not funny the whole time, the length in itself is just annoying. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:03 4
      - It was certainly no Sideshow-Bob-rake-joke in terms of the length being part of the hilarity. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:05 3
        
        Or the Family Guy, Peter tripping and clutching his knee gag. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:06 2
        
        Family Guy is usually 5 minutes of very funny, 10-12 minutes of bad to so-so and 5 minutes of blatant time filler. - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 08:10 1
        
        Amen. - musubi Nov 3, 08:12
  - Oh, but the end bit was the best part (spoiler) - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 08:02 3
    - It was funny, but it already had me "meh"-ing the bit, because it was so long. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:04 2
      - I "meh" in your general direction, good sir! nm - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 08:05 1
        
        So's your face. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:07
  - Me, too. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:59
- I'm just going to designate ralph wiggum as my official posting proxy today. (nm) - Callisto Nov 3, 07:57 2
  - or "great!" -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 08:08
  - OPH YEAH! nm - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 08:03
- Have to disagree with you. I found it overlong and underclever. What I did like was learning this weekend that Olbermann is an NFL 'caster. Who knew? -- nm - emoticreature Nov 3, 07:57 1
  - I am with you. It was sorta funny. But holy fuck, it just went on and on and fucking on. It may have been longest skitch ever. nm - Jovian Nov 3, 07:59
so did anyone on st try out the mirrors edge demo yet? - tRuMaN Nov 3, 07:54 2
- *vomits* - Beryllium Nov 3, 08:02 1
  - the whole game is about free running, across building tops, cranes, etc - tRuMaN Nov 3, 08:05
Today, one of my favorite days of the year usually, is a total friggin' jipoff. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:47 10
- *eats another free Milky Way* (I'm making myself sick, but can't stop eating candy.) -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 07:58 2
  - *whimpers* -- nm - Lil Logan Nov 3, 08:00 1
    - You get the stuff you can actually chew and all the suckers. Mama eats anything too sticky. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 08:01
- *hands Mel one of his leftover bags of candy (I had 3 remaining out of 5 btw)* -- nm - budice Nov 3, 07:53
- get to the drug stores.. on sale candy! -- nm - colin Nov 3, 07:52 5
  - Sale Candy, even at a discount isn't nearly good as Leftover (Free!) Candy. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:54 4
    - I don't want no reject candy. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 08:02 1
      - it's not Reject Candy...it's FREE! -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:10
    - yeah, but you get to choose candy you really like. - colin Nov 3, 07:55 1
      - ~ no I don't... like... candycorn. ~ - TFox Nov 3, 07:57

- Paws McGee. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 08:07
- I'd call the guy's campaign office and see if he would answer a question or two about that. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 08:06
- Ninja Cat. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:04
- Cloverfield Monster -- nm - JCVDano Nov 3, 08:03
- If I believed the "partisan" guy was honest about wanting to improve the community and I like his plan to bring it about, I'd vote for him. - musubi Nov 3, 07:58
- If the go-getter guy is on the opposite side of a lot of issues, that's twice the reason to not vote for him. - Jim Nov 3, 07:54
- third party/write-in/none of the above -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 07:51
- I suppose voting for the person who actually seems to have the better idea on what they wish to accomplish in the job is not on the table? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:49
- Would depend on whether I found the nature of the changes he wants to bring palatable. Partisan isn't always bad. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 07:49 4
  - I disagree -- nm - George Washington Nov 3, 07:52 1
    - You would. -- nm - King George Nov 3, 08:03
  - IMO, it's a bigger problem he's being deceitful about his party affliation. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:51 1
    - if there is no requirement to declare a party affiliation, how is he being deceitful. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 07:54
- Everybody has an opinion. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 07:48

- OK, Who reposted the Vermin pics?..j/k congrats to the newlyweds -- nm - budice Nov 3, 07:49
- Gorgeous. And her dress is perfection. (and all of ST knows how nuts I am about the perfect wedding dress.) -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 07:49 1
  - You know what I love? His vest seems to be the same fabric as her gown. Looks so cool with his white shirt. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:01
- awshum! -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:48
*berymanders pizza mia ad* -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:45 3
- "Drop boxes." -- nm - emoticreature Nov 3, 07:56
- I'm getting asthma, bronchitis, emphysema stuff now. Heh. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 07:46 1
  - Me too - and stuff about the Milwaukee Brewers. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:46
kilbo, i wanna check that gamecreated for the box office, but it's not pulling up on FB for me.....any hints on how to make it a icon-app? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 07:41 1
- Here is the link. I was able to bookmark it. It just had a "Bookmark this app" option at the bottom of my screen when I was viewing it -- (link) - kilboooo Nov 3, 07:55
I'm only about 6 hours into Fallout 3. I'm mainly focusing on side quests now. The Survival guide is a cool side quest. - Shaun of the Dead Nov 3, 07:41
yep. that's a recession.... - x Nov 3, 07:40 2
- Post-election, I figure the bad news will take its toll. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 07:45
- buy buy buy! -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:41
quote from iron chef last night (secret ingredient spoiler) - prayformojo Nov 3, 07:35 1
- haha -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:36
re Bronchitis: IMO if you need antibiotics, do it. It's bad for your health to leave untreated. As for kicking it yourself... Mel, do you remember - loosilu Nov 3, 07:35 5
- I needed 3 days of IV treatments for pneumonia last winter. Don't let it get to that. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 07:35 4
  - never had that, but I have coughing spasms so bad I can't stand up and sometimes faint. can last up to 30 minutes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:36 3
    - I had that but that was a throat infection. Took steriod inhaler for that. Felt like cat hair. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:37 2
      - definitely bronchial. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:38 1
        
        (for me) -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:38

- I am still trying to figure out why GM wants to do this - Brian Nov 3, 07:55
- this almost guarantees that chrysler goes belly up, i think. no real reason for gm to do the deal w/o thehandout....nm - x Nov 3, 07:35 2

And Dano, we're going Wednesday. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 07:32
LIR: Final day for election predictions - Reagen Nov 3, 07:32 5
- Is it kosher to have non-TTers do this? My brother digs this sort of stuff. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:37 4
  - Invite your bro to ST. And then he can meet his former TT sis-in-law. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:38 2
    - I'm so confused. I thought we got remarried. Didn't we? -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:43 1
      - I wanted to, but I wasn't sure if it happened or not. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:44
  - certainly. We already have some. - Reagen Nov 3, 07:38
For the record, I don't have bad feelings towards HSX and I'm happy TT stayed as long as it did - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 07:31 27
- yeah, no hard feelings. they changed it, they thought for the better, I disagreed, found it unworkable, so I left. - mafic Nov 3, 08:12
- yes. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 07:45
- they said they were nuking the old board stye, so yeah....nm - x Nov 3, 07:37
- I'll dabble in the old TT while it's still up, but this is my new home. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:35 12
  - [deleted] 3
    - It's just not as convenient to play because I'm not there TTing. Plus, we never go to the movies anymore so it's not as fun. - Amy Nov 3, 07:45
    - ditto -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 3, 07:41
    - I highly recommend ez1's box office challenge to rekindle your interest in box office, and to play a fun game. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:40
  - Not to mention, I've already done my long, drawn out TT goodbye thing. I don't want to do it again. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 07:37 7
    - And yet zero flashing, wtf? -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:41 4
      - You missed the flashing that happened after 90% of you were locked out of TT. It was Boobapalooza over there. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 07:47 3
        
        It's a trap, male TTers. Don't click on the IM! -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 07:48 2
        
        "Deny, deny, deny." - ralph wiggum Nov 3, 07:51 1
        
        Gay or straight, male or female, I can't imagine anyone getting hot for men with "boobies" flashing the flab. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 08:02
    - It was like one endless signing of yearbook pages. I mean that in a nice way. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:39 1
      - exactly, i'm actually sorry it keeps bouncing back up. it makes 'the ending' less memorable. - Andie Nov 3, 07:41
- I don't get why this has to be "choosing sides". We had a community only tangentially connected to the game, and now we've spun off into a corner. - TFox Nov 3, 07:34 3
  - [deleted]
  - This is where I am. An aside - can't wait to purchase CHICK. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 07:35 1
    - A smart move. Ride the indominitable spirit of the feminine dollar in the movie-going marketplace. - TFox Nov 3, 07:37
- It's like any other product. If they change it, and it doesn't work for me, I'll find something that does work. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 07:33
- Yes, I too have no hard feelings but why should I be loyal to people who were not loyal to us. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 07:33
- It has certainly cleared my calendar a bit....... made me realize how much time I was wasting on the game. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 3, 07:32
- Ditto! -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 07:32
- yeah, I see no reason for any loyalty on my part. they altered the product I like, so I left. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 07:32
- this is how I feel almost exactly. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 07:32
- What she sa....er, HE sai...wait a minute...fuck! Word. -- nm - Jim Nov 3, 07:32
