I feel like I have to tell you guys this: ty97 and I, in IM, have started using the word "package" for "significant other." I have no idea how or why, - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:44 16
- "Have you secured the package?" ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:44 15
  - "I was waiting for my package..." "have you seen my package?" -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:46 13
    - "My package is so sexy" -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 08:47 12
      - I am never going to use a word other than that here. I so loathe the word "boyfriend." I wonder if my packages will mind it. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:51 10
        
        So you're shipping now. Does Dano know? -- nm - Max Jun 12, 08:53

        ... sharkbait? -- nm - Max Jun 12, 08:54
        
        heh, dave calls me his blonde. :) -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:53 3
        
        (his son lives in quebec and referred to me like that once, so it stuck.) -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:54 2
        
        It's funny, because you're blonde! -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 08:55 1

        boyfriend is silly. my friend, who lives with her BF, refers to him as her 'date.' -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:51 1
        
        I never use "boyfriend" -- I sort of think that you can tell how important and in what way someone is by how I talk about them. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:53
      - "Hi, I'm Fred, and I'd like to introduce you to my package ... Janice." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:47
  - Open the package! -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:44
"The 5 Best Mass Transit Systems in the World" -- (link) - ty97 Jun 12, 08:44 21
- very surprised Tokyo does not make the list -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 08:53 6
  - I heard Mexico City is inclusive and clean. Rome, on the other hand, was told it is scary as hell with mafia dudes. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:54 5
    - Someone once tried to pickpocket me on the Paris subway. -- nm - Ender Jun 12, 08:59
    - why would transit be scary because of the mafia? - Andie Jun 12, 08:55 1
      - A beefy dude friend was scared pantsless when he rode it one night, said mafia guys regularly harrass, rape, and steal. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:57
    - I was told not to get on the trains in Mexico City. - ty97 Jun 12, 08:55 1
      - I had no problems on Mexico City trains (aside from massive overcrowding on one journey), and rode them regularly -- nm - Roger More Jun 12, 08:56
- I did not know 1/3 of all mass transit users in the US are in NY. Also, the DC system ain't that great. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:51
- DC being on the list would have been a joke - MDH Jun 12, 08:49 9
  - Do you live in the burbs? - ty97 Jun 12, 08:53 3
    - I work in DC, and spend my time here, and live in suburbs. - MDH Jun 12, 08:55

    - I live in Arlington and I think the metro sucks. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:54
  - wait, how do you pay $9 to get to work and still need parking? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:51 4
    - $4.50 each way Shady Grove to Farragut North, $4.75 parking - MDH Jun 12, 08:54 1
      - your work doesn't give you vouchers? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:55
    - uh, to park at the station probably -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 08:52 1
      - ah. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:53
- NYC, yeah! -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 08:48 1
  - Love it. Just wish they had more ABC city access. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:56
- DC being on the list would have been questionable. It's far from great. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 08:47
So, today is DTV-Day - a day that will live in infamy. Heh. I hope those notices will be gone now, I hate them. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:44
*wants a cigarette* -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 08:39 17
- *doesn't want to pay 5+ dollars for one, doesn't want one anymore* -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:44 9

    - *REALLY doesn't want to pay 10+ dollars for one, TOTALLY doesn't want one anymore* -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:47
    - Think of what else you can do with $10... movie ticket, decent lunch, 2 happy hour drinks... -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:47 5
      - I've already saved $20 this week on not buying coffee and bringing in my lunch. - znufrii Jun 12, 08:49 4
        
        $20 buys a couple of drinks and an appetizer at a nice happy hour - 'lia Jun 12, 08:52 1
        
        or helps me pay off my credit cards that much faster. -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 08:55
        
        Awesome! Since moving into the apt I've been able to get some groceries to cook, saving me about $8/meal. Granted, - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:52 1
        
        it's about priorities - I rarely spend money on sodas or going to lunch at work but love to go to happy hours at nice restaurants - 'lia Jun 12, 08:57
    - Whoa -- nm - amoxy Jun 12, 08:46
- Well, they *are* pretty delicious.... -- nm - TFox Jun 12, 08:42 1

- no! *swats hand* -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:40
- no, you don't - 'lia Jun 12, 08:40 1
  - I mean, it's not like I can actually afford to buy a pack... - znufrii Jun 12, 08:43

- this is *awesome*. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:43 2
  - I figured if anyone you would get this the most, Starbucks cracked me up -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 08:45 1
    - that was great. sent it to all my friends. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 08:52
The bus this morning took me past a new bistro/pub named "The Office". Don't you think that's a dumb (but funny) name for a place? - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:36 7
- I go to music shows a The Living Room every once in a while -- nm - znufrii Jun 12, 08:46 1
  - The Planet Hollywood in Vegas has a new lounge called "living room" too -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 08:47
- Some DC bars: H Street Country Club, Public (this wins IMO), Russia House -- nm - MDH Jun 12, 08:44 1
  - At least here, every bar and club has to end with BAR. e.g. [INSERTNAMEHERE]BAR -- nm - con_carne Jun 12, 08:53
- zeno's was well know as my office the last month I was in state college. "what are you doing?" "office hours over lunch." -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:40
- That's probably the dumbest name for a restaurant/bar I've ever seen -- nm - con_carne Jun 12, 08:40
- I like The Library too. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:39
I'm perusing the free songs at Amazon. EVERY techno song I've sampled has sounded EXACTLY the same. - TWuG Jun 12, 08:35 6
- "free song" Well there's your problem. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:37 5
  - No, "songs" plural. I've found about 2 dozen songs worth trying. A few groups show promise - TWuG Jun 12, 08:38 4
    - The amusing thing about techno/electronica music is its so simple anyone thinks they can make it. But they can't. - Qale Jun 12, 08:41 3
      - I think it's a glitch because every song comes off the same album - TWuG Jun 12, 08:43 2
        
        Well that's just weird. (more) - Qale Jun 12, 08:45
        
        Uhm, it's techno. It's not impossible ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:44
FoodNetwork day time isn't as satisfying as night time. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:35
Sexy is: assembling a weedwhacker -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 08:33 4
- later, when I try to use it for the first time, I'll report back. I'm sure unsexiness will reign supreme there. -- nm - crabs love mandy lane Jun 12, 08:36 2
  - "I lost control of it for a second and it just tore my skirt, like, right off." -- nm - life will find a way Jun 12, 08:38 1
    - *sees everything* -- nm - Patrick Stewart Jun 12, 08:39
- You're shirt looks fine. Looking good ty! -- (link) - lileve Jun 12, 08:34 [flickr]

Sailing. In HD. *drool* -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:20
Hotkiss' story on B2 is evidence that reality shows aren't *completely* staged, just well cast. - Dano Jun 12, 08:18 27
- Find them, cast them, and film them constantly so that the editors can work their "magic" -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:30
- We need an MTV show of Hotkiss' co-intern and Yo-Yo living in an apartment together. -- nm - pmb Jun 12, 08:23 21
  - It would turn into Waiting for Godot. - Max Jun 12, 08:33 1
    - I sort of imagine YoYo starring in a makeshift remake of Belle du Jour. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:36

    - (Special appearance by Gab) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:30 2
      - It needs to be workplace oriented - Gab is the boss of all those others. -- nm - Andie Jun 12, 08:31 1
        
        While this true, what do you think would happen if the Boss position rotated, and Gab had to be an employee sometimes? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:46
    - Ashley could be the host -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:27

    - I miss Yo-Yo stories. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 12, 08:40
    - You don't often see someone wearing their neuroses so openly on their sleeves. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:26 10
      - It has been simultaneously hilarious and tragically sad to watch a girl like that completely destroy her reputation within 3 weeks. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:29 9
        
        she just won't put in on her resume, honestly, it won't matter later. - Andie Jun 12, 08:33 8
        
        agreed -- nm - 'lia Jun 12, 08:35 4

        yes, in Austin. when will you be here? where are you staying? what kind of food do you like? - 'lia Jun 12, 08:50
        
        you must eat Tex-Mex. - ty97 Jun 12, 08:46 1
        
        where's your favorite Tex-Mex spot Ty? - 'lia Jun 12, 08:48
        
        I mean, Omarosa survived somehow, right? -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:33 2
        
        How do these people function in society?! -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 12, 08:34 1

- hockey in June??! -- nm - Max Jun 12, 08:35
- anyone but the Penguins. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:25
- Penguins.....but history favours the home team (last 12 out of 14 game sevens) so it will be Detroit. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 12, 08:25
- It occurs to me that I don't care either way. - Subversive Jun 12, 08:24
- Pengiuns -- nm - Beaker Jun 12, 08:17
What's ST's view on "The Tudors" I started season 1 last night, not bad - MDH Jun 12, 08:15 2

Do you think Obama is still smoking? Interestingly, the responses by Dem/Rep were pretty much identical. -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 12, 08:15 12
- I know how hard it is, so probably not, but then again, I'd have said the same if you'd asked about me and I'm not. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 08:33
- *none* of them wanted to be photographed with Hannah Montana? Oh dear. Methinks they doth protest too much ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:21
- I think I'd be a little scared if he isn't. Unless the Secret Service had the Nicorette people make him special personal mega-patches. -- nm - TFox Jun 12, 08:21 7

    - Ever been around a guy on a nic fit? -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 08:23 4
      - *shrugs* I quit smoking cold turkey myself. To assume everyone who does is like that is silly. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 12, 08:24 2
        
        I believe you are more the exception than the norm. - decline Jun 12, 08:30
        
        If the default reaction to quitting smoking was no adverse reaction at all, I think more people would do it, right? -- nm - TFox Jun 12, 08:25
      - "Who you trying to get crazy with, ese? Don't you know I'm loco?" -- nm - TFox Jun 12, 08:23
    - Because there's a big red button, and twitchiness is not compatible with that. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 08:23
- Tiger Woods -- nm - Dano Jun 12, 08:20
- Probably. The motivation to quit is high, but so is the stress that drives the addiction. -- nm - TWuG Jun 12, 08:17
