- not that stunning, oil prices have come down, the fees they were able to add on in the meantime aren't going away any time soon. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 09:08
- I think of this as the auto industry, no bailout for them. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:08
- Once they start charinging money to open the lavatories, I'm sure it will finish the job - kilboooo Nov 3, 09:06
speaking of brand management, do you guys want the last batman question now? -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:03 4
- next board! -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 09:05 1
  - I have a 15 minute break at 12:30, so either the next board or the one after. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:07
- yes, he's a total fag -- nm - farmer pigby Nov 3, 09:04
- Yes. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 09:04
538 is now showing Obama 340.2 McCain 197.8 -- (link) - amoxy Nov 3, 09:00 14
- there's only one number that matters now. - znufrii Nov 3, 09:05
- dear self: remember to order a cake for election night. dear self: make it big enough to share. dear self: do not share. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 09:04 1
  - I keep on reading this as tom the turkey sayin it -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:05
- *continues fretting* - Callisto Nov 3, 09:03 3
  - it's like you're just waiting for defeat to be snatched from the jaws of victury....nm - x Nov 3, 09:07
  - yep, nailed it. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:05 1
    - [deleted]
- Looks like FL is back. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:03 6
  - I think the more telling tale is Obama extending his lead solidly in the states he's safe in -- nm - budice Nov 3, 09:07
  - if they're able to call any 2 of VA, PA and FL for Obama, it's basically over. - Reagen Nov 3, 09:06 2
    - I'm not worried about PA, VA will be the bellwether. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 09:06 1
      - VA in play is the biggest game changer of the election. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:07
  - Pretty dramatic, too. They skipped right over "very light blue" and went straight to "light blue". -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:05 1
    - the "very light blue" and red throws me off. I couldn't tell for days if IN was light red because of the states around it or white. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:08

- Chauncey Billups on the backside of that trade -- nm - budice Nov 3, 08:59
- In fact, with Stuckey in the wings, this is a no-brainer for both teams. But I still will miss AI in blue and yellow. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 08:58
- whoa... -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 08:58
- What, where is this? ESPN's still empty. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:57 6
  - [deleted] 4
    - Huh.....I dunno if that makes Detroit much better. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:59 3
      - Stuckey instantly fills in at PG, Tayshaun goes to a more natural 6th man role... - TFox Nov 3, 09:01 2
        
        Tayshaun as a 6th man is a step back imo. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:03 1
        
        It allows them some pretty dynamic offensive sets. Stuckey, Tayshaun, AI, Hamilton, Sheed is scary. - TFox Nov 3, 09:05
  - Not if you click into the NBA page. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 08:58
- NOOOOO. (That makes the Nuggets way better for now (they got Billups and McDyess) but how can I root for AI on the Pistons?!) -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 08:57
"Miss Jones, can you come in here and take a letter?" -- nm - Geoffery Giraffe Nov 3, 08:53 4
- Creepiest porn opening, ever. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:54 3
  - i picture it more like Mad Men. smoking and boozing in the office from 9 to 5 -- nm - pigby Nov 3, 08:55 1
    - At my old library, we had a fabulous photo of the department head smoking at the ref. desk. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 08:58
  - The Gary Gnu cameo... I'll never unsee that. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:55
some web site designers deserve to be stranded in the middle of a shark infested lake. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 08:52 3
- Beta isn't that bad... Oh, wait, it is. Sorry. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:54 2
  - more annoyed with sprint right now. - tRuMaN Nov 3, 09:03 1
    - that's not the designer's fault, that's the developer's fault. - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:05
Happy Halloween: One of my coworkers got handcuffed and surrounded due to a shooting in LA. Had the same style of car as the suspect. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 08:50 4
- Should I ask what the color of his skin was? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:54
- On top of that, had a few drinks that night. Lucky wasn't given a breathalizer. -- nm - budice Nov 3, 08:51 1
  - in a way it's better to get caught like that than after causing a crash/death -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:53
- i miss my white van days... i got surrounded by cops at a roadblock.. - colin Nov 3, 08:51
Double Massive, Mega, Huge, Donkey Face, Candy Score. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:48 7
- We had donuts, bagels, cupcakes, and about 15 different stashes of candy in the office today. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:50 5
  - I had 3 Milky Ways by way of an Opening. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:52 4
    - "You took the wrappers off first, right?" *blank stare* ..... "That might explain the waxy taste of that 4th one." -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:54 3
      - And now three 3 Musketeers... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:57 2
        
        I have snickers and Butterfingers on my desk. Will hold off until after lunch to eat them -- nm - amoxy Nov 3, 09:01 1
        
        the only thing saving me right now is the abscence of Nestle's Crunch bars. - Mel Profit Nov 3, 09:04
- that's some porno that you're watching -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:49
Panasonic taking over Sanyo? -- (link) - Mop Nov 3, 08:46
One thing I *really* love about Fallout 3? - Jovian Nov 3, 08:45 6

      - spoil - Shaun of the Dead Nov 3, 08:59
      - ohhh, looks like I am going back to 'talk' to that junky. nm - Jovian Nov 3, 08:59

Several widgets for tracking voting results tomorrow. Includes Intrade, CNN and MSNBC. -- (link) - not2fast Nov 3, 08:42 2

  - Amazingly prescient. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:45
"Doctor, my fingers are numb"/"Your watch is too tight." might be my favourite diagnosis on House ever. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 08:38
this may be the end of strip clubs as we know it (canadian ones, anyway) -- (link) - mafic Nov 3, 08:37 3
- Reagan...come back... -- nm - underage stripper Nov 3, 08:41 1
  - Word! -- nm - Dubai hookers Nov 3, 08:42
- What about gender discrimination? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:40
LIR: Zork, I only have three consoles that I play Wii, PS2, Gamecube. - lileve Nov 3, 08:36 13
- Why not get rid of your Gamecube? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:41 11
  - I use it on a different TV from the one the Wii is on. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:44 1
    - Plus it was a xmas gift from my sister. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:47
  - i probably should get something slower like that to practice gaming skills -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:42 8
    - You know the Wii is a Gamecube in a new case and new interface, right? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:43 7
      - pretty much the same graphics but more memory I think. Built in memory for game saves is always nice. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:46
      - not sure why I would know that -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:45 5
        
        I suppose it's not common knowledge. The Wii is a repurposed GameCube. - Mop Nov 3, 08:49 4
        
        The processore/graphics aren't identical. The Wii's may be based of the GC's, but they have been improved from the latter. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 08:57 1
        
        Maybe new generations of the same thing. But unlike new generations of PS and Xbox, the underlying guts of the Wii are the same as those of the GC. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 09:07
        
        I think I had heard you can use GC controllers on Wii but reusing hardware and those algorithms is normal in most programming -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:50
        
        Yup. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 08:50
- and with kids there would have to be duplicates -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:37
Trump's $1.6B Scottish golf course approved -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 08:36
There will be photos of *everything* at some point. - Reagen Nov 3, 08:36 11
- I knew there was some tongue. Like a smooth pimp operator. At least you didn't freeze like Pippy's SO -- nm - budice Nov 3, 08:38 1
  - frickin' Sade earworm -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:40
- "Mr and Mrs Reagen make a Porno" #1 on ST for the 126th straight week. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:37 4
  - "You're out of frame again. I'm going to have to pull the camera way out to the parking lot." -- nm - Max Nov 3, 08:47 3
    - well, we didn't want to see his face anyway -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:51
    - "For the last time...No, you can't play Chewie." -- nm - budice Nov 3, 08:49
    - *please be a tall joke, please be a tall joke* -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:48
- TMI! -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 08:37

- ACK! -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:36
- naughty. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 08:36
znufrii, i love when you try to think; it's adorable. -- (link) - TFox Nov 3, 08:34 [Backboard] 36
- I'm guessing he's referring to a west v east Pennsylvania thing. -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 08:36
- Yeah, apparently, everyone in Erie PA has to be a Pirates fan, I guess. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:36
- Pirates territory. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:36 1
  - Quite a few Indians fans there, too. Phillies? Not so many. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:38
- a simple slip of the tongue versus getting booed for being completely ignorant in sports geography. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 08:36 31
  - I think I need to find a clip of that. I'm laughing at the thought of the look on her face when she's thinking "why are they booing me?" -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 3, 08:46
  - Thank you for replying with something silly enough that I don't need to continue. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 08:36 29
    - *shrug* just falls under knowing your audience to me... - znufrii Nov 3, 08:37 28
      - And what audience of the Florida crowd is Ohio? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:39 27
        
        I see z's point. The Phillies thing was a calculated attempt to be local. The Ohio thing was either an artifact of him still on Ohio "time" - TWuG Nov 3, 08:41 15
        
        Both are silly and pointless. - musubi Nov 3, 08:44 14
        
        Yes, it's pointless. Welcome to politics. :-P Pretty sure we all know not a single vote was swayed - TWuG Nov 3, 08:47 11

        You know the problem with this thread? Some are taking it VERY seriously and some are not taking it seriously at all. - TWuG Nov 3, 09:01 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        It's interesting, at least to me, when called out on it, it's not really serious at all...but when not questioned, it becomes something with convictio - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:06 1
        
        So recognizing that politics still gets played is somehow wrong? This from you who made it a point - TWuG Nov 3, 09:16
        
        Hey Jack, why is your countdown at 4 days, what's on Friday? (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:53 3

        Hehe, it got so small - amoxy Nov 3, 08:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        You know what, f*** that. I'm voting for Obama in the hope that politics will change. But it won't if people who are supposedly on his side ascribe - musubi Nov 3, 08:50 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        So's your fa....curses. - musubi Nov 3, 08:47
        
        he mis-spoke, she didn't. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 08:40 6
        
        Oh, for the love of christ. I really thought you bought into the new kind of politics. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:42 5
        
        I'm with Will on this. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 08:53 1
        
        *sobs* after everything I've done for you, this is how you repay me? *sobs* - znufrii Nov 3, 08:55
        
        I hate to agree with Will's rage-ohol, but he's right. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:45
        
        [deleted]
        
        jesus fucking christ, I was trying to draw an amusing contrast is all. No need to let TFox get your panties in a wad about it. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 08:44
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        not the first ludicrous "not as bad as *those* guys" defense we've read. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 08:42 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        "most"? (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 08:42
Why does Facebook think I would want to be friends with Nick Fudge? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:34 10
- Fb doesn't know him the way we know him. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 08:38
- Because Facebook is evil. - Spawn Nov 3, 08:36
- Who is nick fudge. *wonders if he has already been friended* -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:36 7
  - There's an FB page "Nicholas Fudge". Stacy has friended him and suggested him as a potential friend for the rest of ST -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 08:40
  - TT troll. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:38 5
    - not a troll, just controversial. - colin Nov 3, 08:43 4
      - You're a troll! -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 08:50
      - or annoying at times, but definitely not mean spirited -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:46 2
        
        true, i've had a lot of emails with him and he's a pretty nice guy -- nm - colin Nov 3, 08:47 1
        
        and who isn't annoying at times? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 08:48
I think my favorite "work the crowd" thing is when Obama mentions McCain, the crowd boos, and he says "You don't have to boo, you just have to vote." -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 08:32 21
- When I saw him last week I liked how he addressed it rather than ignoring it (and by ingnoring it essentially condoning it). -- nm - Cuzzombie Todd Nov 3, 08:50
- I prefer to chuckle and smile awkwardly when the crown boos. -- nm - john mccain Nov 3, 08:34 6
  - You are old and slow. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:35 4
    - yea, but at least I'm stealing jokes from a good source -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 3, 08:40 2
      - I was refering to JM. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:42 1
        
        ah, of course not catching that doesn't do anything to make me look any less old and slow -- nm - dogbert183 Nov 3, 08:43
    - he has bronchitis (but hasn't said what kind). -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 08:36
  - when the crowd boos too -- nm - john mccain Nov 3, 08:35
- yup, that was a great line. Turns a negative into a positive. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 08:33 1
  - it's a brand management thing - you never denigrate the competitor. he's behaving like a market leader. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 08:52
- What does McCain do in the same situation? - Spawn Nov 3, 08:33 9
  - The "Double Maverick". -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 08:50
  - The Herky Jerky, Double Thumbs Up, Wide Eyed Grin is new... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:37 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - POW! -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 08:45
      - I assume it's a war injury thing. - Reagen Nov 3, 08:42 1
        
        Seriously...Arnie looks like he's melting when you see him without a shirt and he's not training... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 08:47
      - I think it is the POW injury thing. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:41
      - Maybe it's actually Bender in a McCain suit -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 08:40 1
