- Question also. Do you want to see a list of all the guesses for a particular movie after the results are posted? -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 13:26 6
  - I liked seeing the range when Closest to the Pin was active. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:27 5
    - Hey kilbo, if you want to use the "CttP" name, it's yours. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 13:39

- Hee! I was just going to link you to "chili talk" on B2. - Trish Nov 3, 13:32 5
  - bah, real chili is made by tossing in your own spices, not some premade mix. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:39 1
    - i 'm a purist about lots of things, but i don't get that. if you find a mix that you like that has good ingredients in it, why not? - citizen b. Nov 3, 13:51
  - Yeah, that's what I used, actually. - kelly Nov 3, 13:34 2
    - Are you a member of Costco or Sam's Club? - Trish Nov 3, 13:43 1
      - Yeah, we joined Costco last month. I need to get back there to pick up my ginormous bag o' fried onions. - kelly Nov 3, 13:45
- what are you making? - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:30 5
  - I've known people who do that--it's almost as crazy as putting spaghetti or macaroni in your chili! - Trish Nov 3, 13:34 2
    - well, its more of a umm, watering down - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:36 1
      - I don't use water either. - kelly Nov 3, 13:46

      - *adds "But I was gonna go to Toshii Station!" to sauce* -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:44
      - that's sounds radical and interesting. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 13:38 2
        
        what part is the radical part? -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:40 1
        
        white wine and flour. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 3, 13:47
    - The last sauce he made was very very good. And there were nummy meatballs too... -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 13:33

      - You should do the honourable thing and post it here -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:36
      - It's the cup of strong coffee and the dark chocolate that make my chili irrestible :) - Trish Nov 3, 13:36 3
        
        I use cocoa, but same principle. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:45 1

      - Thank you! -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:35

nmb Crash - con_carne Nov 3, 13:24 5
- I've had one, but apparently he had maxed out his mob already, and I couldn't accept the invite. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 13:26 1
  - Yep, that happened to me once -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:27
- I've gotten one of those too. I'd like to know how they pull it off. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:24 2
  - pull what off, invite non friends, easy, you send an invite to people you see on the rankings list. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:31
  - I've looked, and nada. (Maybe I will ask them on their Mob Wars wall) -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:27
Positive review of Legend of the Seeker (link) - Jovian Nov 3, 13:23 1

Vermin, I guess my next question is whether you actually think McCain will still win - Reagen Nov 3, 13:16 7
- I don't really believe in Bigfoot. I just think it would be fun if it were true. Ann Coulter is Vermin's Bigfoot. - crash davis Nov 3, 13:23 1
  - Right - I don't blame Republicans for wanting there to still be a chance to win. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:26
- Polling's getting weaker as time goes on (maybe one of the few areas of life where that's the case), but this race is over and has been for weeks. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 13:23 4
  - i don't think there's a lot of evidence that polling is getting weaker, myself....nm - x Nov 3, 13:42
  - I disagree with the "it's been over for weeks" sentiment, but with barely 31 hours to go ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 13:38
  - But I'm having trouble figuring out what they would be. on sober second though i realize there's some possiblilty on the failure of "likely voter" - Reagen Nov 3, 13:26 1
    - I've always felt that there's something in the polling process itself. - pmb Nov 3, 13:31
Hey, RC! The candidates are all on campus this afternoon. You said you're manning the phones all day, so you won't be coming? -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 13:16 1
- Nope -- sorry. I'm stuck here in the Portland office staffing the phones. - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 13:29
kilbo, of course I don't have you kilfiled (I use safari, and I would never, ever killfile you anyway). I'm just in class. do you need something? nmbk - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 13:16 9
- :) Just wanted to thank you for your hosting space. I promise I'll move off it soon -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 13:26 2
  - oh please. I have like 5 GB or something. it's my pleasure. stay as long as you'd like. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 13:35
  - maybe Jax should take the space -- nm - zork Nov 3, 13:29
- are you getting the shoes? -- nm - zork Nov 3, 13:19 3
  - I think today's in class slack yields five pairs of shoes, in fact. would you like more links? -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 13:22 2
    - *nods* - zork Nov 3, 13:27 1
      - let me look into it. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 13:34
- I haven't even started book 1 so there's no rush. (nm) - JCVDano Nov 3, 13:16 1
  - but you're *dano.* nice trying to trick me. I seriously quit dr. pollock for the day. I'm unstoppable in my slack. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 13:19
B2 reminds me, the other day, I had my Arrested Development DVDs on in the background while playing with moose jr, and he said "Onyong". - musubi Nov 3, 13:15 5
- hee!! -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:22
- Annyong! -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:16 3
  - Stop that, and start reveling in moose jr's cuteness. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:21 2
    - Hello! :) (yes, it's very cute :)) -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:22 1
      - and fix the thing where ST always put me back at the top of the board when I go back a page -- nm - zork Nov 3, 13:30
[deleted] 2
- Hmmm. I thought he was busy writing new rules before he ran out of presidentin' time. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 3, 13:24
- That's great news. Thanks for the post. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 13:18
seeing a set of recently highly commented upon photos, I'm once again interested in the difference in diet between city kids and farm kids - crash davis Nov 3, 13:15 5
- The thing is, there are so few farm kids. Even kids who don't live in urban areas are usually not actually living on a farm. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 13:32 1
  - I agree -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:35
- hmmm, in the modern world? I kind of suspect not. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 13:23
- farm kids get more comments? -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 13:15 1
  - don't worry about it :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:17
I don't have any of those games. -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 13:11 1
- Oops! -- nm - lileve Nov 3, 13:11
Did anyone else get Guitar Hero World Tour except me? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:10 13
- I ordered it, but it's out of stock. How is it? -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 13:32 1
  - I really like that it's like 4 games in one for me. - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:36
- I like that they played the "Risky Business" commerical during SNL, right after the David Cook performance. It's getting viral and insider-y. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 13:18 1
  - oddly, that song isn't on the disc. "Hollywood Nights" by Bob Seger is, though. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:23
- I did. Not completely impressed. Purchased just the game as well - Jason Dean Nov 3, 13:16 1
  - coolio. I ventured into the (Wii) Mii Jam Session this weekend. It was hella-fun. - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:20
- We're renting it. Just the game though. Didn't have the $180 to spend. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:11 6
  - We've unlocked and played all the songs on Medium. My wife sings so she gets in on the action, too. - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:21 5
    - Oh that reminds me. Completely unimpressed with the 'world tour' - Jason Dean Nov 3, 13:26 1
      - Yeah, it's not very logical. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:32
    - Oh, and since I think you have the Wii, the downloading of music is extremely simple. - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:22 2
      - Cool, did they download to your SD card or the harddrive? -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 13:24 1
        
        I did the 2 songs to the harddrive. I don't have an SD card (yet). -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:31
