- danke -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:59
I'm pretty sure amanda has me killfiled -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:57 1
- just playing hard to get. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 12:58
amanda, you should console yourself ... - zork Nov 3, 12:54 12
- I recommend the XBox 360 Premium. It's nice an affordable right now. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:56 11
  - If you were to install your games would the Elite be worth it? -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 12:59 7
    - The new one with the 60 gig HD is about $100 bucks less than the Elite. This is what be bought for our second one. - Trish Nov 3, 13:02 3
      - You probably have the Jasper. Thats the one I would like to get. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 13:10
      - Ah, good call. Yes, I'd recommend this one. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:04 1
        
        (I honestly forgot about it. Heh.) -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:04
    - I plan on installing a few games, but not all of them - they still require the disc while playing, so it's only - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:00 2
      - Yes, I would like less noise and less load times. I'll be playing GTA4 and Oblivion. Maybe Halo so I can play with you guys. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 13:00 1
        
        It would help with the single player of Halo 3, but I don't think it would help much for the multiplayer. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:02
  - affordable? we're not all on high falutin' programmers' pay. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 12:57 1
    - Hey, I have the Elite. The Premium is for people on a budget. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 12:59
  - what you think this is a *game*? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 12:57
Did you drink or treat as a teenager? I never saw the appeal. - Inigo Nov 3, 12:54 32
- when i was a teen overhyped US celebrations were not popular - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 12:58 4
  - Maybe Berry can make you and OAE some anti-xenophobic ST chamber to post in. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:00 3
    - well that would only help is you can charge you batteries there i think - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 13:03 1
      - I don't know what your post mean, but to be clear I wasn't accusing you of xenophobia. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:07
    - xenophobic echo chamber! -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:02
- No, never. But evidently it's pretty common in some circles. I loathe the ones who walk up and just say, "gimme some candy". -- nm - Trish Nov 3, 12:57 4
  - We had a group that did a little song at each door. I was behind them for a few houses. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 13:03
  - Hey, while you're here, can you help me with something? - kelly Nov 3, 13:02 1
    - Hrmmm. - Trish Nov 3, 13:15
  - oh no no no. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 13:00
- Teens are the reason I can't handle Halloween at all. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 12:57

- How old was he? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 12:56 2
  - Somewhere between 13 and 15 is my guess. He had braces. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 12:57 1
    - I threw up in Baskin-Robbins and the lady thought I had been drinking ... - zork Nov 3, 13:00
- no. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 12:56
- In the immortal (and recent) words of ML: What the crap? (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 12:55
- when i was early teens, i took my brother out trick or treating, but never went with other teens or by myself. - colin Nov 3, 12:55
- No. Also, not as an adult. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:55
- no. i think maybe i would give my kids an age limit, too. no more trick or treating after, say, 10ish. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 12:55 9
  - I wouldn't age-limit my kid, but if they're going trick or treating, they better dress up. No half-assing it like some of the teens that I saw. - musubi Nov 3, 12:58 4
    - We had 2 teens show up who couldn't even manage a 'trick or treat'. - kelly Nov 3, 13:09
    - "I'm dressed up as a high school student" -- nm - zork Nov 3, 13:01
    - that's kind of funny, plus they say please, so i'd probably give them candy. otherwise, i'd be like, um, no. go buy your own damn candy. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 12:59 1
      - I ended up giving them candy, but not before shaking my fist at the sky and old-man ranting about "putting in some effort". - musubi Nov 3, 13:04
  - Yeah, at 10/12-ish, they can stay home and hand out the candy. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:56 3
    - I don't mind the teens and pre-teens trick or treaters as long as they dress up, and are polite. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 12:57 2
      - after about 14 i'm not a fan of them going door-to-door - zork Nov 3, 12:58 1
        
        you never go door-to-door, man -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:08

The closing scene of last week's South Park (with Craig standing in front of the mirror in his underwear as Gary Numan's "Cars" plays)... - Mop Nov 3, 12:53
re: post office: I was shocked when my dad said they got 2 deliveries a day and 1 on saturday when in texas. that would never happen here -- nm - zork Nov 3, 12:53
Personal overshare: So we are updating our work website and the first person we hired to do just kind of didn't get it. At all. - Andie Nov 3, 12:52 3
- I think feeling nervous is perfectly logical in this case. - Trish Nov 3, 12:55

nmbReagen: 7 point discrepency - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 12:51 1
- so... racism. - Reagen Nov 3, 13:05
Mop: Wordy McWord. I'm liking Slicehost so far, but I was liking VPSville too. And that didn't end well. - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:48 3
- We switched twice this past year which is only a 100% increase over the past 2 years. - Mop Nov 3, 12:51
- I'm just looking for a regular web host with cron support. Vodahost was nice but they made me mad -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:50 1
  - Yeah, vodahost has been working fine for me (although one of my sub-accounts did get hacked this weekend - somehow they didn't crack the parent one) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:52
I am now, not the only person alive, who says "Funny Ordee" for "Funny Or Die". - Amy Nov 3, 12:48 1
- i've read it that way many times ... btw, you were funny - zork Nov 3, 12:51
From B2 for subversive: Heh. I basically posted on Thursday night that I saw them and recommended you go on Friday. They only got a 45 minute set... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 12:46

  - Is it? Maybe she was happy with two. I hope it's good news. Congrats I guess. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 12:48 8
    - i was the "bonus" (read: accident) third kid. i take offense to this! - kare Nov 3, 12:56 5
      - me: 7th kid, almost 7 years after the 6th. -- nm - citizen b. Nov 3, 13:09
      - I was the 6th kid, 10 years after the 5th. It was way beyond accident. -- nm - Amy Nov 3, 13:07 1
        
        You took "accident" to Plaid? :) -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:09
      - I was not a bonus, but I bet they regretted it later! -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 13:00
      - [deleted]
    - yeah, boy, maybe she can auction off the used babies on eBaby. -- nm - powerseller Nov 3, 12:52

noted: sugar-free pudding cups are not *nearly* as sinfully good when you've been allowing yourself sugar-full halloween candy for two weeks straight. - kare Nov 3, 12:42 5
- Heh. I just stopped by a WeightWatchers location to weight in cause I missed my regular Saturday meeting. I'm back to where I was 2 weeks ago - last - MojaveMeg Nov 3, 12:49
- the real problem with those is that they are nonfat, which means they automatically taste like shit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:45 3
  - both jello and kozy shack have sugar-free with some fat. -- nm - citizen b. Nov 3, 13:07
  - they were *delicious* when i was south beaching. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 12:46 1

  - [deleted] 3

      - that's one crazy chicken. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:47

I just bought my first Terabyte hard-drive. TT Poll: what was the size of the first HD you ever had? - celedhrymandias Nov 3, 12:42 19

- Whatever came on the Apple II+ - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 12:53 1
  - came with? it came with a floppy drive (if you didn't go with the cassette port) -- nm - zork Nov 3, 12:56

- 40mb, doublespaced to 100mb -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:49
- I think it was 80MB. The first computer we ever had at home was a Commodore 64--with no hard-drive. - Trish Nov 3, 12:46 1
  - I had a Commodore 64, too. I wonder what ever happened to all those discs. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 12:55
- I think 80MB. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:46

  - my first computer was an Apple IIe - it didn't even have a hard drive :) -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:46 3
    - My Commodore 64 was legendary for the quality of its floppy disc drive. -- nm - David Nov 3, 12:47
    - True. I have to go back to the earlier computers we had that used casette tapes technically -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:47 1
      - Yeah, my first computer didn't have a HD either. Why were the floppy drives so noisy back then... - celedhrymandias Nov 3, 12:48
  - oh wait. I'm not thinking back far enough. probably more in the 20-40 range -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:45
- 40 MB. And as I always mention, Wing Commander took up 7 MB on its own. - David Nov 3, 12:44

  - We are already mobbed, "Cappelini" :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 12:47 1
    - Oh. Huh. Okay. :) -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 12:49
- That is to say, I don't know if the point of the Group is to get these Friends - con_carne Nov 3, 12:43 3
  - yeah, thinking about it, its the only way to get them in your mob, I think -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 12:50 2
    - I've had plenty of mob requests from non-Friends, within the game itself. I don't know how they do it - con_carne Nov 3, 12:55 1
      - if you figure out how they do it, let me know please -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:10
- not that I have noticed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 12:42 1
