  - date a handyman. birds, stone, etc. - ty97 Jun 8, 12:01
  - You could just keep your booze in the living room, thereby eliminating your need to ever go to the kitchen -- nm - con_carne Jun 8, 11:56 1
    - Then he could just have the handyman completely wall off the kitchen. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:58
New just discovered perk of working from home: Daddy-daughter lunch at the Pizza Hut buffet. Yummy! -- nm - Subversive Jun 8, 11:47 3
- How cute. -- nm - lileve Jun 8, 11:54
- Awesome. Holy crap, did I ever love Pizza Hut as a kid. -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:51 1
  - There's one just 5 minutes away. This might have to become a weekly event, it was so much fun. - Subversive Jun 8, 11:57
I don't know if it's all of the cold meds and spotty sleep but I've been having weird fever dreams at night about 'Deadliest Warrior'. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 11:44 34
- This week on Deadliest Warrior - Its Mel versus ML. And next weeks special episode will be Vermin versus Trish....who's debate will reign supreme!! - Deadliest Warrior - ST Style Jun 8, 11:56
- George Washington versus...Oliphant Rider! -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:49 2

  - No, I don't have flu. Maybe bronchitis. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 11:47 7
    - that blows. do you know if it's viral or bacterial? viral is awful. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:47 6
      - My doc things mine was bacterial. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:50 4
        
        if it's over, odds are yes. :) Every time I've had viral it lingered for months. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:51 3
        
        My co-worker, where I think I got it from, had it for 2 weeks. - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:52 2
        
        I'm not sure you can catch bacterial bronchitis from someone else, per se. But I'm not an expert. 2 weeks is not bad at all for bronchitis. - loosilu Jun 8, 11:54 1
        
        hmmm...well...it seems to be going anyway. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:59
      - seeing the doc this afternoon and hoping it's bacterial and maybe on it's way out soon. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 11:50

      - Spike should take notes, I'd watch this in a heart beat -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:50 13
        
        1) # of deaths 2) ease of transmission 3) treatments available 4) suffering of those infected -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:53 12
        
        I'm imagining the expert epidemiologists facing off all smug and bragging about black facial sores vs. bleeding from the eyes and what's grosser. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 11:56 1
        
        heh, that falls under #4 :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 12:01
        
        can i steal this? (it's genius.) -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 11:56 8
        
        add vaccines. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:57 7
        
        see 3) treatments available. -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:59 6
        
        a vaccine is not a treatment, it's a preventative. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:59 5
        
        *splits hairs* -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 12:00 4
        
        not hair splitting at all. major difference. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 12:01 3
        
        but you only have so much time on the show. I'll expand #3 to include both :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 12:01 2
        
        ok as long as both are named. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 12:02 1
        
        done -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 12:02
        
        Plague destroys Ebola on all counts. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:55
    - don't forget Avian Flu. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:47 4
      - It'll probably be something unexpected like mouse flu that'll wipe us all out. -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:51 3
        
        well, plague is carried by rats, and Ebola started with primates. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:51 2
        
        Fascinating. -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:53 1
        
        It turns out that just about every new virus that's really nasty jumped to humans from some other animal pretty recently. - loosilu Jun 8, 11:57
read the two volumes of the Sinestro War last night...good, but kinda all over the place artwise. Superboy Prime was the awesome though -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:40 2
- I hate that juvenile character so much. - David Jun 8, 11:46
- Agreed on all counts. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:41
Can we talk about how I am going to have an insanely difficult time waiting til July 15th? (I want to see Harry Potter 6 *now*!) - kelly Jun 8, 11:38 14
- Given the tiered release of the standard prints and the IMAX 3D prints do we think fans will go see the films twice? Wait for IMAX? - JD Jun 8, 12:01
- [deleted]
- that and transformers are really the only other movies i want to see this summer.. sad. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 11:44
- See, I'm psyched for it, but I think it's going to sneak up on me. -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:39 9
  - Exactly. I really don't get that way for movies. I like to just let them happen. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:41 8
    - wink wink, nudge nudge -- nm - con_carne Jun 8, 11:46
    - I do sometimes, and usually HP6 would be one of em, but I have a ton of work, and then a vaca right before the 4th... - TFox Jun 8, 11:42 6
      - I am the opposite on the Potter films. Due to the time restraints, they don't live up to the books. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:43 5
        
        They don't. They are just a different beast for me. - TFox Jun 8, 11:44 4
        
        Since the books are done, I am sort of afraid the movie will make me sad. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:46 3
        
        Certainly the reaction to (book 6 spoils-ish -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:47 2
        
        frig - TFox Jun 8, 11:48 1

- pfft. Just Toronto. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:35 5
  - well, that's all that really matters. -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 11:43 4
    - I am not ashamed to admit it. To me, Canada is made up of Toronto, and Not Toronto. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:44 3
      - qualifying you for honourary Torontonian citizenship. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:44 2
        
        for me it's Quebec (the province) vs everywhere else. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:53
        
        I knew I was right! -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:46
- Yep - I tried this a few months ago. At the risk of endless DTM posts, it was OK, but too salty for me. -- nm - Roger More Jun 8, 11:35 1
  - that's what she said! -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:36
Geek: Gizmodo's live blog of WWDC is the awesome. -- nm - lileve Jun 8, 11:31 1
- Unlock your rented zipcar with your iphone. *splurt* -- nm - lileve Jun 8, 11:37
Webcomic Poll: What webcomics are you reading? - colin Jun 8, 11:24 21
- Penny Arcade. I ready PvP for the first 3-4 years but fell behind and quit. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:51
- xkcd is about it. megatokyo was good when it started, but I haven't read it in years. -- nm - mafic Jun 8, 11:44
- Link fail. Mine inside: - TWuG Jun 8, 11:41 4
  - I'm still surprised by Jim Davis' reaction to garfield minus garfield. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 11:48 1
    - Not me. By all accounts, he is a really nice guy. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:56
  - bah! .. and i forgot about PHD comics.. thanks. -- nm - colin Jun 8, 11:44
  - And: http://www.sinfest.net/index.php -- nm - TWuG Jun 8, 11:43
- None. I have enough trouble keeping up to date on all of my non-online comics.... -- nm - Stephen Jun 8, 11:32 6
  - i used to read 100+ syndicated comics, but it got too difficult to keep up.. - colin Jun 8, 11:37 5
    - Fox Trot still is new on Sundays isn't it? Or did that stop too? - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 11:59
    - comics...Captain America, Dark Avengers, War Machine, etc. -- nm - Stephen Jun 8, 11:38 3
      - ah. how many a month do you keep up with? - colin Jun 8, 11:42 2
        
        Probably somewhere between 15-20 a month. - Stephen Jun 8, 11:48 1
        
        I got so behind during busy season at work. Like, full story arcs. - TFox Jun 8, 11:50
- None -- nm - con_carne Jun 8, 11:32
- n/a -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:30 1
  - ditto -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:31
- Wow. I need to make a bookmarks folder. I had no idea there were all these out there. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 11:27 3
  - Get to it! You have years worth on all of them to catch up with :) - colin Jun 8, 11:30 2
    - Maybe I'll be inspired to start my own. From around 2nd-11th grade, I was planning on being a cartoonist. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 11:33 1
      - That's a really good idea! Cockneck: The webcomic! -- nm - TWuG Jun 8, 11:45
Speaking of despicable characters, I watched Waitress last night. I don't get the hype at all. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 11:21
[deleted] 6
- Isn't that the "Mad About You" building or something? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:53 1
  - If so, we have to srat filing a sitcom there. Dawson will be perfect. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:55
- No gays! -- nm - Mr. Roper Jun 8, 11:52
- Looks nice enough. My favs are 300w23 or 25e10 -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:36 2
  - oh there's 2 25e10's, the 1H one looks alright, except not much space between the bed and the cupboard -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:39 1
    - Or wardrobe -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:40
I dunno, I thought Heather was showing her age a bit. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 11:17 6
- She isn't Roller Girl anymore, but I would still give her a spin. -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:26
- you think she looks 39 years old? I didn't see it. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 11:24 2
  - I have long since given up guessing women's ages. So I have no comment on whether she looks 39 or not. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 11:30 1
    - smart man. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 11:31
- I thought she was attractive and adorable in her guest spots on Scrubs a few seasons ago. - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:20
- I think the huge eyes keep her looking young. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:18
He's getting raked over the coals for it, but I thought Vince Wilfork showed a lot of class to show up at the charity golf tourney. -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:16 18
- You get the sense that he's really a decent guy. - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:19 14
  - NFL contracts are such BS from the player perspective, that it's tough to even call it a "contract". - TFox Jun 8, 11:20 13
    - It's a slippery slope. Anquan Boldin is hugely underpaid, but he's the one who signed the long term deal. -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:25 12
      - I get that, but I find it completely ridiculous that if a player gets hurt, in most cases the team can just rip up the paper like it never existed. -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:26 10
        
        Agreed. - musubi Jun 8, 11:31 9
        
        *shrug* that's why they try and get so much upfront and guaranteed -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:32 8
        
        I get that, but it's a silly workaround. They wouldn't need so much up front if they knew they'd get paid what they agreed to on an annual basis. -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:36
        
        It's a clever management ploy. It turns veterans on young players who "haven't proven anything". - musubi Jun 8, 11:34 6
        
        Guarantee the contracts. That'd slice salaries in a heartbeat. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:40 1
        
        Long term contracts go the way of the do-do, most likely, but why would salaries go down? (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 12:00
        
        and yet first round draftees get paid ridiculous sums of money when compared to more tenured players. -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:36 3
        
        Because there's no such thing a guaranteed contracts, this is a circular arguement. - musubi Jun 8, 11:57
        
        You mean Matt Stafford's not the best QB in the league? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:42
        
        That is dumb shit for sure. Not debating that. -- nm - TFox Jun 8, 11:36
      - yeah the guys who sign for small yearly pay with the huge upfront bonus and then say they are underpaid by referencing their yearly pay piss me off. - Beaker Jun 8, 11:26
- He's getting raked over the coals? - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:17 2
  - He's holding out from team practices and the media thinks that should include charity events. -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:19 1
    - At least it's only the media thinking something that stupid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:21
You people aren't being entertaining enough today. Try harder. -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:12 2
- /~'Hell is gone and heaven's here, There's nothing left for you to fear, Shake your arse come over here'~/ -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:16 1
  - best Robbie song. ever. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 11:25
B2: must have Kaka! -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:12 1
- I can't help it, every time I hear his name announced I chuckle a little bit. - Stephen Jun 8, 11:31
I demand that Steve Jobs be the "One more thing..." at WWDC, but there's been no report of a golden chariot of the gods being spotted in SF. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:12
Shipping today: Gran Torino. - kelly Jun 8, 11:11 24
- nice car, but why didn't you just drive it home? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 8, 12:03
- ditto, with The International -- nm - Max Jun 8, 11:38 1
  - I liked it well enough but it was just okay. -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 11:39
- Wonderful little film. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:29
- I liked it. I knew the kids were new actors but it's hard to cast Hmong teenagers with acting experience. - Diva Jun 8, 11:21
- Blech. -- nm - Callisto Jun 8, 11:13 15
  - Why? -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 11:16 14
    - It's predictable and poorly acted. -- nm - Callisto Jun 8, 11:17 10
      - :( - kelly Jun 8, 11:20 9
        
        Clint is one of those actors that never seem to be "acting" to me. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 8, 11:28 1
        
        Dennis Miller! -- nm - Spawn Jun 8, 11:42
        
        You may like it. Most people did. If you didn't know, most of the cast are first time actors. - David Jun 8, 11:24 6
        
        I agree that you have to have a certain tolerance for untrained acting... - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:42 5
        
        Yeah, I think it's one of his worst, but I understand why people like it. -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:45 4
        
        When I think of 'worst' Clint movies I usually think of the stuff that co-starred orangutans. -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 11:46 3
        
        The first was classic. - Spawn Jun 8, 11:51
        
        I LOVE those movies! -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:48 1
        
        you're cut off. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 8, 11:51
    - The lead character is rather despicable and most of the performances are amatuerish (because they're mostly amateurs). -- nm - David Jun 8, 11:16 2
      - On the other hand, he finally got those kids off his lawn. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:17 1
        
        Spoilers! (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 11:20
- Shipping today: Godspell - TFox Jun 8, 11:13
- I couldn't wait either, but I didn't like it. -- nm - Loyola Jun 8, 11:12
- it's Clint, 'nuff said -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:11
