    - With the way scores look....that's not exactly a bad thing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 22, 07:54 1
      - Nobody is exactly lighting it up today -- nm - eag Jun 22, 07:55
is shooting yourself out of the 36-hole record at a US Open the biggest choke ever? -- nm - dug Jun 22, 07:50 6
- Yes. -- nm - Phil at Winged Foot Jun 22, 07:53
- considering his record, I think more coming back to reality. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:53 2

LIR: I like to sing, but it's poorly. I'm a spitter and a good one, I can't ride a bike, I can swim and I can roller*blade*, not skate -- nm - con_carne Jun 22, 07:49 20
- i can't sing a note sadly, i can swim, can rollerskate and rollerblade, own a bike, can't spit. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 07:50
- if you can rollerblade, you can ice skate. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:50 17
  - What about vice versa? I've tried roller blading, I'm terrible at it. -- nm - Subversive Jun 22, 08:05 1
    - it's definitely harder. - Reagen Jun 22, 08:10
  - Ice skating is easier though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 22, 07:55 11
    - The lack of a brake isn't fun for me. - Will Hunting Jun 22, 07:58 10
      - i acually think it's way way easier to stop on ice skates than roller blades. - Andie Jun 22, 08:13
      - I suppose you can't really T-stop on ice skates. -- nm - Shaun Jun 22, 08:03 6
        
        Isn't that how hockey players do it? nm - ralph wiggum Jun 22, 08:05 5
        
        hockey players stop by running into things. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 08:12
        
        they usually ski stop. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 08:07 3
        
        *ahem* hockey stop. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 08:13 1
        
        I know, but that seemed like not a useful way to answer. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 08:15
        
        Ahh, that's right. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 22, 08:12
      - Happy Gilmore? -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 08:00 1

  - Very important note for you figure skaters: If you try to push off with your toe on Rollerblades, you will fall on your face. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 22, 07:53 1
    - damn you. I was going to sell the footage. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:54
  - Oh, I meant rollerskating. And yes, I've ice skated exactly once in my life -- nm - con_carne Jun 22, 07:53
- I love to whistle, but can't do the loud calling ones -- nm - con_carne Jun 22, 07:50
So, did your weekend meet, exceed or fall short of your guess on Friday? - Andie Jun 22, 07:48 [Backboard] 19
- I think I gave it a 7.....lunch did not turn out well, but Saturday and Sunday were better with the other friends. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 22, 08:08
- I didn't predict, but mine was better than I had any reason to expect, 8 or 9. -- nm - mara Jun 22, 08:07
- I didn't rate it last week, but it turned out pretty good. Had lots of fun, but still got a lot of work done too. - 8.75 -- nm - Diva Jun 22, 08:06
- i guessed a 7, it turned out to be a 8.5-9 -- nm - prayformojo Jun 22, 08:05
- Exceeded...It was a very nice weekend...like an 8...maybe an 8.5 -- nm - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 22, 07:59
- I think a 7 works. -- nm - Shaun Jun 22, 07:59
- turned out well - i'm sunburned and starving -- nm - 'lia Jun 22, 07:57 2
  - you know how a woman in a bikini and a turkey are similar? - zork Jun 22, 07:58 1
    - *whimpers* - 'lia Jun 22, 08:11

- 7; weather was wet but overall fun. -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 07:50
- My stepkids didnt call me yesterday so the answer is no -- nm - eag Jun 22, 07:50
- The only problem with my weekend was that I was unable to be in two places at once, so it gets a 9. -- nm - znufrii Jun 22, 07:50
- I did not predict, but it exceeded. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 07:50
- i guessed an 8, it was probably more like a 7. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 07:50
- mine was a solid 7. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:49
With the Iran situation no one seems to have noticed, but: Violence has flared up in Mogadishu, Somalia asking for military aid. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 22, 07:40 21
- We just fucked up their shit three years ago. Shouldn't that have been enough? -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:44
- Somalia for now is a lost cause -- nm - eag Jun 22, 07:42 18

        Oh, shit, now you've done it - Michael Moore is going to make a movie about them. They're ruined! -- nm - Beryllium Jun 22, 07:49 1
        
        that's OK, Robocop is going to expand his patrol range to include Flint -- nm - zork Jun 22, 08:08
      - Although many places seriously suck (Haiti, Zimbabwe), I would make the case for Somalia. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:45 7
        
        My issue with Haiti is that they've destroyed their means of recovery. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:46 6
        
        not sure Somalia ever had it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:47 5
        
        Fine, you're making me throw down the voodoo card. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 07:50 4
        
        I see your voodoo and raise you pirates. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:51 3
        
        sounds like a good movie! Pirate Voodoo Stripper Zombies -- nm - zork Jun 22, 08:07 2
        
        I hear Zimbabwe described as a Zombie state. Somalia doesn't even qualify. it's just a corpse. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 08:08 1
        
        that's perfect! somalia=pirates, haiti=voodo, zimbabwe=zombie. All we have to figure out is the fourth location for the stripper angle. maybe ... - zork Jun 22, 08:11
- NPR has been following this story -- nm - con_carne Jun 22, 07:41
everyday I'm thinking, "Dude/Dudette, you're going to have serious hearing loss by the time you're 25" for at least 2 or 3 people on the train/subway -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:27 25
- I can't hear you. My ipod is too loud. - lileve Jun 22, 07:36
- These are words to live by: "if other people can identify the song on your ipod, you are playing it too loud." -- nm - secretslacker Jun 22, 07:34 1
  - these people are in their own world and will never recognise (nor care) that this is happening -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:57
- my old company tested us every year. I'm still doing quite well. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 07:31 4
  - worried about getting sued for putting you in helicopters? -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:32 3
    - mostly, but partly also to correct behaviour. my boss never wore earplugs until he started seeing midrange hearing loss. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 07:33
    - oh, and congrats on the hearing retention -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:32 1
      - woo! -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 07:48
- [deleted] 11
  - that's why I got a pair of sound-isolating headphones. ipod volume never goes past about 20%, even on planes. -- nm - mafic Jun 22, 07:32 5
    - exactly -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 22, 07:37
    - I hate when I have to use mine to drown out someone else's. Even then I keep the volume so low that often I can still hear it. -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:34 2
      - just remember that the decibels are additive. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:37 1
        
        i normally use the noise blocking ones like mafic, so when I'm still hearing someone else that sound has actually been reduced -- nm - zork Jun 22, 07:56
    - smart. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:32
  - NY subway noise levels can result in hearing loss. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 22, 07:31 4
    - The average maximum inside of subway cars was 95 dBA - Danedukenuuk Jun 22, 07:36 3
      - on the platform I'm sure it gets higher. Sometimes the brake squeal is excruciating. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:37 2
        
        Union Square is particularly bad, due to it being on a curve. - znufrii Jun 22, 07:39
        
        ave. max is a continuing thing sort of highest background level - Danedukenuuk Jun 22, 07:39
- I'm at the age where some of my friends say they're feeling music-induced hearing loss. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:28 4
  - How is it an age issue? -- nm - con_carne Jun 22, 07:43 2
    - It tends to take a few years for the effects to make themselves known. You could go to concerts in your 20s and not notice hearing loss until 40. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:45 1
      - Yeah - and it's a cumulative effect, as well -- nm - Beryllium Jun 22, 07:45
  - What? -- nm - Redmond Jun 22, 07:29

Shaun: North side Walmart? Was there with the family spending money -- nm - Beaker Jun 22, 07:25 1

Hopefully July will be the 'month of wellness' around here, because June has pretty much sucked so far. - kelly Jun 22, 07:23 5
- I'm not even risking another joke at this point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 22, 07:25 3
  - Heh. -- nm - kelly Jun 22, 07:48
  - Mom still in Hospital? - eag Jun 22, 07:32 1
    - She's been moved to a nursing home for continued therapy. - Will Hunting Jun 22, 07:33
- no kidding -- nm - prayformojo Jun 22, 07:24
~And I think it's gonna be a long long time / Till touchdown brings me round again to find~ -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:18 2
- ~I'm not the man they think I am back home~ -- nm - Subversive Jun 22, 07:22 1
  - did anyone hear This American Life a couple of weeks ago where the "classified ads band" did that song? -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 07:26
Unless the car bomb produces cracker shrapnel, a bulldog isn't even going to stop snoring, let alone lift his head to look. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 22, 07:18

- can you and Andie please tell me your opinion of the likelihood of TTW being good based on your view of the trailer? TIA -- nm - Epiphany Jun 22, 07:17 4
  - i'm not hopeful. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 07:43
  - It was filmed in Toronto. 'Cuz you know the Canadians make good flicks. -- nm - Vince Jun 22, 07:33
  - [deleted]
  - Considering how long it's been delayed, I'd say 42% likely even without seeing the trailer. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 22, 07:18
