- The museum people?! -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 10:37 3
  - No -- completely different company. Evergreen Aviation has been a government contractor for decades, mainly in forest fire suppression planes. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 10:38 2
    - The museum's gotta be funded by the same people. It's in McMinneville and EDSS is in McMinnville. - Mop Nov 3, 10:43
    - One of those plane was in front of me leaving Chicago last week. I wondered what that airline was. - ty97 Nov 3, 10:40
fatal shooting, one town north of me ... in a trailer park ... on "Boys Rd." ... -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:32 1

- New Yorkers "wait on line", right? Not "in line"? That shit drives me bonkers. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 10:33 8
  - I always said in line. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:35
  - i thought 'on line' was a british thing. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 10:34 4
    - OK, so not NY folk. Those other folk who say on line are the crazy. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 10:36
    - Don't they say 'queue'? -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 10:34 2
      - yep -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 10:37
      - that's what I always heard. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:35

    - By "they", you are obviously referring to African-Americans. If you have any dignity, you will resign, sir! -- nm - Keith Olbermann Nov 3, 10:36
hey mop - tRuMaN Nov 3, 10:31 2
- Indeed I do. Not as "pretty" as an iPhone, but certainly much more functional. - Mop Nov 3, 10:34 1
  - the plan is a pain, but still, I am going to get some compensation monthly from my work - tRuMaN Nov 3, 10:36
"If you place Atlantica up to level 50 and it still doesn't please your MMO tastes, we'll buy your character for $20!" - Subversive Nov 3, 10:29 1
- maybe there's a level-up bug that can be exploited multiple times a day - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:30
Another fun moment from the weekend - I made mel a ham, egg and cheese muffin yesterday morning. R-rated breakfast ensued. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 10:26 10
- Kim was wriggling an unusual amount when putting on the lower Christmas lights and... -- nm - David Nov 3, 10:33
- We had breakfast for dinner! I should do that more often. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 10:28 2
  - I love Breakfast for Sinner. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 10:28 1

- "Oh baybee...take off that cheese. I wanna lay you down on that muffin..." -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 10:27
Me: "I won't be allowed to tour Algiers because of the threat of terrorism." My friend M: "Can't you sneak out for a few hours?" um. - loosilu Nov 3, 10:22 8
- e, you used the same excuse when you came to Tacoma too -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:29 2
  - terrorism? oh no I dint. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:30
  - It's an honest mistake when you look at Tacoma. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 10:30
- That's a shame - it's a funky cold medina -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 10:27 2
  - fourth time today someone has said that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:28 1
    - but first on ST :) -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 10:30
- do you get a body guard ? -- nm - decline Nov 3, 10:25 1
  - I'll be with a group. DOn't think we'll be getting "guards" as such. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:27

SITWAP, but it looks like Fulmer is on the way out at UT -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 3, 10:19
HdnA, I'm missing the Frazz-Calvin & Hobbes connection. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 10:19 2
- Based on the art and style of writing, I am convinced that Frazz is done by Bill Waterson writing/drawing as Jef Mallett. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 10:25 1
  - Interesting and plausible. But if not true, I feel bad for Jef. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 10:32
Max, nmbm - crash davis Nov 3, 10:18 2

narrowly averted a catastrophe at the salad bar today. - znufrii Nov 3, 10:18 15
- Short, sneezy kid below the guard? -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 10:25
- well, look on the bright side: At least you didn't get your salad from 7-Eleven. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:22 7
  - That salad was pretty good, actually! -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 10:34
  - this is true although I did have to wait behind two ladies who each had to take their time picking out just the right pieces of romaine.... -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 10:23 5

    - *shrug* - kelly Nov 3, 10:19 4
      - I know, I just wouldn't be a fan of passing out every other day or so. - znufrii Nov 3, 10:20 3
        
        That's why you do finger sticks anywhere from 1 to 6 times per day. - Trish Nov 3, 10:23 2
        
        he means from the needle itself. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:24 1

My election system would keep polls open to 11pm everywhere locally and embargo reporting results anywhere until HI was done. - Max Nov 3, 10:11 12
- I'd also figure out a secure way to vote online, in addition to other methods of voting. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 10:22
- It is impossible to enbargo reporting if you begin the counts when polls close locally. Would you wait for Hawaii before counting? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:18 6
  - I don't understand the impossible here. It simply wouldn't be allowed, and there would be no piecemeal reporting. All districts simultaneously. - Max Nov 3, 10:22 5
    - This is what I'm clarifying though. If you start the count, campaign teams will know due to scrutineers. Once teams know, the internet will know. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:30 4
      - So? -- nm - China Nov 3, 10:33
      - Oh, there will be no party scrutineers. The parties will get the info the same time the public does. - Max Nov 3, 10:32 2
        
        You don't feel that someone should get to watch the count that is so very important to them? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:35 1
        
        Do they get to observe and publish census taking? Tax returns? Intel reports? No. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 10:38
- I would enlist Google's satellites so we can do a simple show of hands. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 10:15 2
  - *sues for being disenfranchised* -- nm - Camoflaged People Nov 3, 10:17 1
    - *kicks you for being complainers* -- nm - the disarmed Nov 3, 10:26
- Polls should be open 72 hours straight, same time everywhere, all ballots must be papper that can be recounted -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:14
"Very well. Opus for some, miniature American flags for all!" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:10
I wanna discuss HdnAgnda's napkin some more. - Mop Nov 3, 10:09 1

Another 11 hour shift on the voter helpline today. So far, it's been great. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 10:06 14
- I'm almost hoping to get more calls to do for people in NH... - Mel Profit Nov 3, 10:11
- So they call up and ask you where to vote? Or what they need to vote? Or what? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 10:10 5
  - Some of the other questions have been ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 10:22
  - I can bet you that 90% of his answers today have been "No, don't mail your ballot. It's too late. Drop it off at one of the drop boxes in your area." -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 10:12 3
    - *ding!* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 10:16 2
      - Have you gotten any calls asking if the democrats are supposed to vote on November 5th? :) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 10:20 1
        
        Not yet. We did get a few calls from upset voters who couldn't believe canvassers would volunteer to turn their ballots in on their behalf. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 10:25
- any drinking? -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:08
- Cop out! Vote by mail generates no excitement! Move to Ohio. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 10:07 5
  - Early voting. Lines up to 7 hours yesterday, over 3 hours today. Looking at 80% voter turnout. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 10:08 4
    - We don't have early voting here, but I don't expect there to be any lines at all at my voting place - decline Nov 3, 10:20
    - where's the other 20% -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:16 2
      - [deleted]
      - Beats me. Not interested in voting, I guess. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 10:18
Campbell Brown's cheek implants annoy me -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 10:05 4
- her shift from reporter to commentator annoys me. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 10:13 3
  - Her cheeks are winking at me! -- (link) - ty97 Nov 3, 10:15 2
    - without cheeks she would look like Rumer Willis. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 10:25 1
      - and you could see through her head. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 10:37
It's nice to see Graham harrell getting Heisman publicity. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 10:05
What's new tonight? Just T:SCC? What about HIMYM? Chuck? -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 3, 10:04 4
- Raw is new (the big 800). -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 10:12
- T:scc = yes. no chuck or heros this week -- nm - decline Nov 3, 10:05 2
  - My logic for watching last week's heroes last night was "well, it'll be on again on Monday, so where won't be much suspense." - Beryllium Nov 3, 10:09
  - i believe HIMYM is also new -- nm - decline Nov 3, 10:06
ST = TT Series 3 -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 10:04 1
