FYI, this matter ends on this board. If it's brought onto the next board by ANYONE, I stop being nice about it. - secretslacker Jun 21, 15:07 3
- now tell them they'll live to regret this. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 15:10 1
  - "And you will live to regret it!!!!!!" (shakes fist) - secretslacker Jun 21, 15:12
- Dude!! You are pretty much throwing down a dare here. Now I have to do it. -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:09
Buffy vs Edward -- (link) - Reagen Jun 21, 15:04
so the protests in Iran has a face...that girl (Neda?) who was asassinated by the thugs over there. How long do we think... - Remlik Jun 21, 15:03 16
- I just heard about this...that video was brutal. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 21, 15:17
- I thought the same thing about China. Then they crushed Tiananmen Square and over a billion people fell back into line. -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:07 6
  - did you notice though this past week that China said they will not filter/cut off the Internet and Social Networks. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:09 5
    - you buy that? -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:13 2
      - of course not. It's a smart PR move by them though. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:16 1
        
        considering no one believes their PR, I dunno. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:17
    - The China Government has a dry sense of humor doesn't it? -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:10 1
      - Yeah....I also think they saw what was happening and wanted to nip it in the bud. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:12
- I don't think it will end any time soon, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:06 2
  - I agree. It's really interesting to see the 21st Century Tech/Freedom of Info vs. Middle Ages thought processes. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:11 1
    - that's the defining issue of the Middle East right there. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:13
- When you start seeing defections and splits in the Revolutionary Guard - eag Jun 21, 15:05
- apparently these things work on 40 day cycles. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 15:04 3
  - how so? -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:04 2
    - something to do with the Shiite martyrdom process. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 15:08 1
      - ah! gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Jun 21, 15:10
I should probably take a nap - David Letterman Jun 21, 15:02 2
- Conan never needs a nap old man! -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:02
- Dammit -- nm - eag Jun 21, 15:02
Man, the Mummy really looks good on blu-ray - Stephen Jun 21, 14:57 5
- Kingdom of Heaven directors cut looks phenomenal on bluray!! -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:06 1
  - Yes, it was! - Stephen Jun 21, 15:07
- yeah, see what is what I find weird - tRuMaN Jun 21, 15:00 2
  - well the Hellboy movie was already excellent looking as it was, I don't think it needed Blu Ray treatment... - Remlik Jun 21, 15:04 1
    - Yeah, true. Which is why i'm thinking of adding the blu-ray option to our Netflix so I can see if there's any difference before buying some of our - Stephen Jun 21, 15:16
You know what's funny? HSX being down brought some old timers here. And this is what they saw. - TWuG Jun 21, 14:56 12
- I just don't get it. - Stephen Jun 21, 14:59 11
  - I *love* "rocket surgery" so much. -- nm - the last day of orientation loves mandy lane Jun 21, 15:10
  - Well, consider the source. Most of us realize that if you do something wrong you own up. - TWuG Jun 21, 15:02 8
    - I've already apologized to Amoxy, the only one deserving of one (and he didn't even ask for it). - secretslacker Jun 21, 15:06 7
      - I read the boards, my facts are straight. You offered an "apology, but". It's the *defense* you are offering - TWuG Jun 21, 15:13 2
        
        I don't believe I was out of line, but I like Amoxy and I would never deliberately say anything I thought would offend him. - secretslacker Jun 21, 15:15 1
        
        And that right there is the problem man, you don't think making a joke about someone's kids, anyone's kids is out of line. - Stephen Jun 21, 15:17
      - Because you were trying to "explain" it instead of just saying "my bad, I was wrong, I apologize" - Stephen Jun 21, 15:09 3
        
        The thing is that Amoxy probably wasn't *nearly * as offended as others chose to be. - secretslacker Jun 21, 15:11 2
        
        Probably because it had been the second time in a week that a joke that was kind of in bad taste referenced Amoxy's kids - eag Jun 21, 15:14 1
        
        that made people notice it more, but that didn't change whether it was offensive or not. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 15:16
  - Tell me about it:) -- nm - David Letterman Jun 21, 15:00
10 Fascinating Elevators - marcel Jun 21, 14:55 5
- Eiffel & St Louis -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 21, 15:14
- 4 of them I have been in - tRuMaN Jun 21, 14:59 2
  - I did Eiffel Tower and the Portugal one. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:12
  - I have been in 1 -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:03
- Nice. I was going to say incomplete but the last one was the one in Oregon City. Nice!! -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 14:58
Here comes the Ban Hammer! -- nm - David Jun 21, 14:49
Star Trek (B+) - I wasn't expecting to like it and I didn't at first but it grew on me. Valentino: The Last Emporer (B-) -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 14:43
boobies, boobies, boobies. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 14:35 8
- You have three? -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 14:38 4
  - I think that adds up to six. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 14:43 3
    - Wow, it WAS swine flu! Now you have teats! -- nm - TWuG Jun 21, 14:51 2
      - *snorts* *oinks* -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 15:07 1
        
        A woman made from bacon. Wow!! -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 15:08
- *rips off shirt* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 21, 14:36 2
  - better get some sunscreen on those or they'll burn -- nm - 'lia Jun 21, 14:37 1
    - Nah ... it's cloudy. And besides, the chest hair will protect me. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 21, 14:48
Man, people are very testes today. - TFox Jun 21, 14:16 2
- I don't get this joke. Could you explain it, please? Thanks. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:19
- yes, Ziva :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 21, 14:16
poll: will HSX come back online today or tomorrow and at approx. what time? I say tomorrow noonish -- nm - peglegpete Jun 21, 14:13 2
- If they don't give us a chance to reverse the adjusted stocks, I'm going to be pissed. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:14
- and I mean port access, not just boards -- nm - peglegpete Jun 21, 14:14
Redbox DVD rental kiosks versus Netflix, who ya got? -- (link) - Beaker Jun 21, 14:00 3
- I supplement Netflix with redbox. I think I used redbox 30 times last year. -- nm - Max Jun 21, 14:50
- I actually redboxed for the first time today. very painless. (but I need netflix for roku, so both.) -- nm - the last day of orientation loves mandy lane Jun 21, 14:16
- I use them from time to time - the selection is better than I would expect, but the catalog obviously can't be as deep. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 14:03
wait, the US actually advanced in the Whatever Cup? - prayformojo Jun 21, 13:55 1
- you're missing the point that the U.S. had to actually win a soccer match. They suck -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 14:10
And for those of you hell-bent about bringin me into this, that was boards ago and I apoligized. And amoxy saw that I did. - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 13:52 17
- mentioned as context, and as an example the right way for an offender to handle the situation. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:53 16
  - I saw the back boards and it wasn't mentioned in that context. It should not have been mentioned at all. -- nm - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 13:56 15
    - I used it as why SS's post couldn't only be wrong, but the timing of it made it worse. - Redmond Jun 21, 14:05 12
      - You had plenty of ammo without dragging me into it. - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 14:07 11
        
        My intent was not to punish you. I think you apologized the right way. However it's out there in public. - Redmond Jun 21, 14:16
        
        I was actually thinking you handled it pretty much as well as it could be handled. - Subversive Jun 21, 14:10 5
        
        It didn't. -- nm - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 14:13 4
        
        Sorry. -- nm - Subversive Jun 21, 14:17 3
        
        Okay, that's a pretty good apology. Short, sweet, to the point... - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:25 2
        
        I am sorry you are an asshole. There is mine. -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 14:26 1
        
        Ha ha... good one. :) -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:27
        
        there's only room for one self-absorbed person in this issue, thanks. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 14:09 3
        
        Then why are you still in it? - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 14:15 2
        
        of course, at no point have I attempted to make this issue about *me*. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 14:33
        
        +5 -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:18
    - I'm blaming you for all of this. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:58 1
      - I blame Nick Fudge -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 14:01
Yeah! My dvr caught the all day Monk marathon going on on the Slueth Network -- nm - Stephen Jun 21, 13:43
st poll: what is your favorite type of ice tea? - tRuMaN Jun 21, 13:42 12
- there's some local sweet tea that's in all the grocery stores and delis. so effin good -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 14:09
- none -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 13:53
- Plain black or green refrigerator tea. -- nm - the liioulu with clouds Jun 21, 13:47
- perhaps a tie between really good and smooth unsweetened and tropically-fruity unsweetened. i add pink and or yellow packets of faux sugar to both. - b! Jun 21, 13:46
- Sweet, sometimes with lemon -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 21, 13:45
- The one I don't have to drink. -- nm - Spawn Jun 21, 13:44
- Lipton black tea, left out in the sun for 5-6 hours to brew. Then add a teaspoon of sugar in the glass. -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:43 4
  - i used to like sun tea. until the fear of illness took that away. -- nm - b! Jun 21, 13:50 3
    - really? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 21, 13:51 2
      - yah. it was in the news some years ago. there are things you can do to decrease risk, but it wasn't worth it to me. nm but: -- (link) - b! Jun 21, 13:53 1
        
        wow. thx, never heard of this. -- nm - prayformojo Jun 21, 13:56
- Sweet tea. (Not for every occasion, but when it's right, it's oh so right.) -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 13:43
What the fuck? Is my Ikariam Father's Day gift that *all* my inactive whales will be back? - Spawn Jun 21, 13:37 1
- keep track of their total score, what often happens is that folks comeback to check out their game after an absense, see wtf? I've been raided and ran - zeitgeist Jun 21, 15:03
Fuc#ing Sceire!! Mousehunt is addicive as Ikariam! -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:27 3
- f-in nubby! - Stephen Jun 21, 13:35 2
  - Early on what is more important to upgrade? - Redmond Jun 21, 13:46 1
    - When you can upgrade your trap, you'll have to plug away a bit to get the gold to do this. - Stephen Jun 21, 14:04
I don't understand how 'fueled' amd 'filled' are any different in how offensive they are? - Subversive Jun 21, 13:25 27
- You (and others) are reading WAY too much into my original comment. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:38 22
  - you're still hung up on the idea that it's about the wording. It's that you made the joke, period. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:44 16
    - No, I just don't like being misquoted and having negative intentions layered over my innocuous off-hand comments. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:46 15
      - your mistake continues to be that there would be any context or wording that that would make it non-offensive. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:47 14
        
        and if I may elaborate, the reason you see anger at that is that others here see your response as a high liklihood that you'll repeat your error - Reagen Jun 21, 13:51 11
        
        Maybe you can find some precedent for this statement. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:55 10
        
        It's not *about* you. If any other person had said it, it would have been just as offensive. - Reagen Jun 21, 13:58 9
        
        This whole thing could have been handled better. - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:03 8
        
        Well if you would have offended him in an email and not a public board. We would have known nothing about it. - Redmond Jun 21, 14:09
        
        Bery said to you quite politely that he thought you should apologize to amoxy. Your first response? "What? It was a JOKE!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 14:06 6
        
        Yes, but that's because I hadn't read the B2 responses and wasn't aware of the previous incident. - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:08 5
        
        but as liiouo mentions above, and as others have mentioned since, that previous incident isn't what flipped the switch on what made the joke offensive - Reagen Jun 21, 14:13 4
        
        Well, maybe explaining it 8 or 9 times is reasonable, but now that we're up to 15 or so, it's really gone beyond the pale. -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 14:14 3
        
        It's called "making an effort"... which is more than most of my critics deserve. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:17 2
        
        Psst, idiot. He's not complimenting you. -- nm - Subversive Jun 21, 14:23 1
        
        I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that if someone honestly meant to offend in the first place, they would not be making the effort to resolve this. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:25
        
        Your mistake continues to be that you can't understand why my original statement was funny. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:51 1
        
        you and Lenny Bruce. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:51
  - Your joke was inappopriate and you *refused* to apologize for it.. - Subversive Jun 21, 13:43 3
    - I apologized both on the boards and in a separate Email to Amoxy. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:45 2
      - Most times I use simple numbers. If I don't have a single person defending me. I might, just might be wrong. - Redmond Jun 21, 13:52 1
        
        Correction - Redmond Jun 21, 13:54
  - "That pitch was juuuuuust a bit outside." -- nm - Bob Uecker Jun 21, 13:40
- no, where we're misquoting him is that he only said it's probably happening. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:26 3
  - He should have said possibly. -- nm - Todd Manning Jun 21, 13:29 1
    - There's a 1 in 100 chance your minor child is doing drugs and having sex with multiple partners downstairs. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:31
  - Oh, yes, well that makes all the difference then. - Subversive Jun 21, 13:28
wowsa. heh -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 13:25
even I wouldn't have swung at that. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 21, 13:21 3
- And it cost us the game. -- nm - David Jun 21, 13:32
- it was a bit high -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 13:23
- Because you are using eye drops? -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:22
Flushes B2 -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:21 10
- put the seat and lid down! -- nm - b! Jun 21, 13:22 9
  - Why? Why do we have to put the seat down? Is it any harder for women to do it then it is for us to put it up? - Stephen Jun 21, 13:36 5
    - in addition to what reagen said, the less touching of the seat needed the better. -- nm - b! Jun 21, 13:41 1
      - yeah, what she said! -- nm - 'lia Jun 21, 13:46
    - one good reason to put the seat down is that it's the same room that your toothbrush is in - Reagen Jun 21, 13:38 1
      - Our toilet is in it's own separate little room :) -- nm - Stephen Jun 21, 13:44
    - Hahaha, you haven't been married long enough. You still use logic. -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:37
  - I have been female toilet etiquette trained long ago. In my late teens. :) -- nm - Redmond Jun 21, 13:23 2
    - etiquette is important - plus it impresses the hell out of us girls -- nm - 'lia Jun 21, 13:49
    - :) - -- nm - b! Jun 21, 13:25
new board... same as the old board -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:21
