    - I will blame Fiddy if I damn well please! :) -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 16:30
  - Fiddy has become a mainstream celebirty and Hollywood success. He doesn't have to answer for anything anymore. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 16:24
- hahahahah, that was an *excellent* ending to that article -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 16:10 1
  - "Flavor Flav, meanwhile, has become a reliable staple of reality shows, starring in four different series. He wears a clock in all of them." -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 16:16
- Did not know that Run is Russell Simmon's younger brother. I saw the doc on DMC's birth mom, though. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 15:58 2
  - Didn't know 50 cent was the reason Jam-Master Jay was shot. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 15:59 1
    - That's one of the speculated reasons. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 16:07

        She had nothing to regret in that movie. She was the only thing good in it. - the liioulu who's going squish,squish,squish Jun 19, 16:31

While I feel for the folks who are hard up, Oregon needs to chase Californians back to the border. -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 15:45
Mmm, EW in my mailbox. More photos inside the magazine. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 15:45 2
- Do they show all 4 covers? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 15:46 1
  - Yes. And then more inside. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 15:48
I snapped a photo of an odd headline today that will surely result in a series of "No shit, sherlock" posts from some of the right-leaning folks. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:39 3
- Link? -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:49
- what about the people who have both legs the same length, or the right one is longer? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:41 1
  - they'll just have to tide themselves over with milk and cookies until the next objectionable headline comes along. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:44
"Every single woman in this film is sexually objectified, save for John Turturro�s mother." -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:36 1

Marijuana addiction rate vs. other drugs according to the National Institute of Drug Use......... - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:30 24

  - What drives you? The Hollywood cigarette propaganda machine? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:46 2
    - The smell, the taste. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 15:47 1
      - thats what gets me... the smell of a freshly lit cigarette is yummy - Guy Jun 19, 15:50
  - Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:44
- What is meant by 'rate'? Number of people addicted? Or like, percentage of people who become addicted after trying it, or what? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 15:34 4
  - I think it's "percentage of people who become addicted after trying it". -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:37
  - If only CY provided links to the source. -- nm - mara Jun 19, 15:37 2
    - It was a chart on CNN and I gave you the source at the bottom. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:38 1
      - "dumbass" -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:40
- so basically you could use the numbers for cannabis and stimulants to normalize the others and filter out psychological addictions -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:34 1
  - (Thus coming up with a number indicating neurochemical addictiveness) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:35
- Heroin over tobacco, really? and Cocaine as well? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:31 11
  - Not surprised cocaine is low on the list. I never enjoyed it that much. - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 15:42 1
    - Yeah, I could see that causing an issue. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:44
  - It says tobacco over heroin and that doesn't surprise me. - Krusty Jun 19, 15:34 7
    - I've heard that (your IM) from someone who would know. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 15:50
    - I think she meant "it's better to use Heroin and Cocaine over Tobacco". -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:36 5
      - That was my more subconscious thought :) -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:45 1
        
        It's not saying that. It's saying you're more likely to get hooked on tobacco. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 19, 15:55
      - I didn't read it that way...oops. -- nm - Krusty Jun 19, 15:44
      - Can't beat a good chaser -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:37
      - Speaking on behalf of the users, "Um, duh." :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:37
  - That surprised me too. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:32

Still on Tarmac. Argh - ty97 Jun 19, 15:28
LA Times Poll: L.A. big racial divide over gay marriage -- (link) - con_carne Jun 19, 15:27 2

What to make of this? My internship is held nationwide with 2-3 interns in every store around the country. One distant intern sent out an e-mail last - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:26 16
- Holy crap, 40 *whole* minutes? - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 15:59 4
  - It's an email. If only interns are on the recipient list, how will it benefit her? -- nm - mara Jun 19, 16:00 3
    - "in ways that you can't anticipate at this moment," I said. - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 16:25 2
      - Yeah, not significant odds there. -- nm - mara Jun 19, 16:27 1
        
        I didn't say it was likely. But that doesn't make that 40 minutes of her life a guaranteed waste, does it? - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 16:33
- so you mean a group of people are trying to help each other become better employees, increase their job chances - tRuMaN Jun 19, 15:31 1
  - I didn't ask to be on their mailing list. I don't really care. Should I really share? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:31
- thank them and say as someone brand new, the info is a great help. - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:29
- Too bad you don't have anything to dish dish dish about -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:29 2
  - she can tell them 'drunk Dawson' stories :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:30 1
    - She'd have to attach a 3 Gb file -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:47
- They're not sucking up if it's just going to interns. I guess there could be BCCs going out to supervisors, but it sounds like a waste of time to me. -- nm - mara Jun 19, 15:27 3
  - "Waste of time" is harsh. This could be an easy way to get some positive experience. Nobody says HK has to be as detailed or smarty as them, either. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 15:39
  - Then what the hell are they doing? The wording of their e-mails make them sound like the smartass kid in class everyone hated. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 19, 15:28 1
    - The hater kids grow up to work for the smartass kids. Remember that, employment-seeker. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 16:36
- unless it's coming from your managers, i wouldn't respond at all - dug Jun 19, 15:27
Halo tonight! -- nm - crash davis Jun 19, 15:25 4

  - but you will join when you can...right? -- nm - crash davis Jun 19, 15:27 1
    - Aye. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:29

TTPoll: Dad. What are you doing for Father's Day? - lileve Jun 19, 15:24 11
- "I am not getting out of bed, until I fuck someone!" Marc Anthony...there are so many places this quote works :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:32 2
  - I've always heard it quoted as "something" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:32 1
    - probably. my memory is not perfekt -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:33
