      - oh, there you are. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 07:00
      - He's the one with a handful of mutual friends. -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:59
- I don't think we're friends. I've just been assuming you hate me all this time. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:54 12

        Ticker Treat 2! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 07:09
        
        there, there. it's not your fault that CPAs are bastards, -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 07:05
      - Not I either. looks like: Max, Nubby, Jax, con_carne, secretstalker, Andie, Kelly, Dawson, and 2 people I know, but don't know their nicks. -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 07:00 2 1

        for the life of me, I could not remember horlick's nick. (been so long since he posted :( -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 07:04
speaking of, I heard on NPR the other day some dude saying that it's impossible to communicate with someone with whom one does not have a relationship - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:52 7
- I assume that he's using a narrow definition of "communicate" and a loose definintion of "relationship". (nm) - musubi Jun 12, 06:57 1
  - Yeah, it's totally about those definitions. -- nm - mara Jun 12, 06:59
- because he's using the term "relationship" in the most general sense to encompass any interaction between two people. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:55 4
  - so, as soon as you meet someone, you immediately have a relationship with them. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:56 3
    - that's pretty circular -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:56 2
      - it's not, really, it just comes down to simple definition of terms. - znufrii Jun 12, 06:58 1
        
        I get that, but that seems a weird thing for this guy to be talking about - Roger More Jun 12, 07:09
I love catching quads on the river when I'm all in. -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:51 3

  - Always... - Krusty Jun 12, 06:42 12
    - oooh - psilotum Jun 12, 06:45 11
      - My capitalon 57:85. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:46 10
        
        Let me know if you want help. - psilotum Jun 12, 06:49 9
        
        Thanks anyway. Looks like I'm going to have to deal with this on my own. I've sent more troops to back up the guys I have. There was no reason for - Krusty Jun 12, 06:53 6
        
        It would be nice if the alliance would help me get even after this is over. - Krusty Jun 12, 06:54 5
        
        get your shit tight! -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:56 4
        
        I really hope you're joking... - Krusty Jun 12, 07:00 3
        
        of course. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 07:01 2
        
        Of course this happens after the CQ message, so I'm not going to ask for help right now. But I do want some in getting even afterwards. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 07:03 1
        
        I'm 20 hours away, but will help when you need it. -- nm - decline Jun 12, 07:10
        
        10 hours away for me :( -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:49 1
        
        Mop the fighter is nearby but I think he's mad at me. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 07:00
TT Poll: When a guy asks a girl out for a drink, is he asking her on a date? -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:38 34
- he's asking for sex - Danedukenuuk Jun 12, 07:03
- More of a pre-date. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 12, 06:56 2
  - I agree with this....its not always a date but its a possibility of seeing if there should be one. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 12, 07:08
  - IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'. -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:59
- I'd say yes. -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 06:51
- no guys ask me for drinks and I know they do not want to sleep with me, oh but wait they gay. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:51
- In most cases, yes. -- nm - Jammed Uzi Jun 12, 06:50
- Generally, yes. -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:46
- depends.. i often ask someone out for a drink to talk business.. - colin Jun 12, 06:45
- No. - Jelly Jun 12, 06:44 1
  - you're going with the "he' gay" angle? Interesting... -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:45
- If it's just the two of them, yes. - JaxSean Jun 12, 06:42
- I'd say yes. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:42
- just the 2 of them? yes. As part of a group? maybe. -- nm - decline Jun 12, 06:42
- Of course. -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:41
- no. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:40
- yes -- nm - lileve Jun 12, 06:40
- yes unless it is worded somethimg like this "a bunch of us are going out for a drink...." -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 06:39
- yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:39
- Unless she's his mother, sister or some other relation...i'd say yes. -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 06:39 14
  - same deal when the chick asks? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:39 13
    - I think no. Chicks don't have a problem askng 'friend zone' guys out for a drink. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:45 9
      - But what about respectable women? -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:52 2
        
        I've never met one of those. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:54 1
        
        That's because there's no such thing. (nm) - dignan si Jun 12, 06:59
      - Yep...I'm with wiggum on this one. -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 06:48
      - I would say 'Maybe' instead of 'No' but for the same reason. (thus men complaining about 'mixed signals') -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:46 4
        
        Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I agree with you that it's not necessarily a date, but it could be. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:50
        
        indeed. have we all read "you just don't understand" by deborah tannen? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:48 2
        
        yeah, along with "getting past no" and "getting to yes" by Fischer/Ury - 'lia Jun 12, 07:09
        
        I hadn't heard of it. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:55
    - Of course. -- nm - nubby Jun 12, 06:44
    - For the ladies...I think it depends. It could be. -- nm - Jim Jun 12, 06:41
    - IMO yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:40

- Years. My parents are cool and down-to-earth -- nm - Jammed Uzi Jun 12, 06:52
- No more than a few months. I'd snap by the end of the third month. -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 06:48
- I get on well with my parents and could last a couple of months, easy -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 06:48
- I moved back in after flunking my fresman year in college, lived for 3 years til I transfered back to school in SF. -- nm - Stacy Jun 12, 06:47
- It would be more likely that my parent(s)/family would be moving in with me. Oh wait, that already happened. - Diva Jun 12, 06:47
- A long time. Years. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 12, 06:43
- a week -- nm - decline Jun 12, 06:42
- I managed to move back in for about 4-5 years after owning my house. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:41
- Aside from not being able to have people over, I love living at home as much as living alone. Am I the only one? - Hotkiss Jun 12, 06:40 1
  - I love them, but my parents drive me insane. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:41
- I lasted two months (7 years ago). -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:39
znu, a guy asks a girl for drinks. how is that not a date? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:38 12
- because he hasn't made his intent clear to make it one. He could simply want to hang out. - znufrii Jun 12, 06:40 11
  - I realize heterosexual men are a foreign concept to you, but this is a date. -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 06:44 1
    - *gaze* -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 07:02
  - If a straight guy wants to get a drink with someone he doesn't want to sleep with, he'll ask a guy. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:43 7
    - so jonathan and I are dating? I'm sure his wife would dig that. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:46 5
      - pumpkin, I said "Not always" with you specifically in mind. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 12, 06:48 2
        
        because we all know that just because I jam someone, it's not necessarily a date? -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 06:50 1
        
        now you tell me. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:59
      - threesome, natch. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 06:48
      - eh, I think this dicussion overall presumes a lack of pre-existing friendship. - ty97 Jun 12, 06:48
    - *ding* -- nm - decline Jun 12, 06:45
  - *head explodes* -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 06:40
