Ika - org: if anyone in the Hub is here, elves attacked one of our people again...time for him to meet the fucking Stoneage. -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:13 1

LYC: The pres is here on base right now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:07 23
- ICYC, he and the FL are here to take part in a service project. and no, I can't get anywhere near there. - loosilu Jun 25, 07:11
- If President Obama ordered you to have sex with a woman for $1000 dollars...... - Redmond Jun 25, 07:10 10
  - Hmmm, I've seen several presidents but never actually met one. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:11 9
    - Every pres since Reagan, actually. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:12 8
      - I have never seen one in person. A U.S. Congressman (that I worked on his campaign) is the highest up the food chain I have met. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 07:14 7
        
        Stood about 100ft from Clinton, Sen harkin, Vernon Jordan and Ted Danson/Mary Steenburgen at a local golf course. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:16 4
        
        Was Clinton President or Ex at that time? What was the security like? - Redmond Jun 25, 07:19 2
        
        he has SS at all times, AFAIK. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:20 1
        
        Well I knew that one, however I read my question there and I was vague. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 07:21
        
        I have been around many senators/congressmen/governors, could not count them all. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:18
        
        Obama goes to our fitness center sometimes but not when I have been there. The Sec of Education works out when I am there, though. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:15 1
        
        Tell him the public skool sistem is failing are kids. -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 07:17
- flash him -- nm - zork Jun 25, 07:10
- do something totally innocuous, yet highly suspicious, like flap your blinds in morse code. you might meet a hot secret service agent. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 07:09 3
  - hee. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 07:19 1
    - one of them came looking for me a few months ago after I cameraphoned Marine One on the lawn. It's not hard to get them to come over. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:20
  - I don't like those goons. anyway, he's leaving in a short while. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:09
- go run up to him and give him a big kiss on the cheek -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:08
- Cool but can't you get in trouble for stating that? -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:08 4
  - If so, I wouldn't say it. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:09 3
    - You didn't read the memo!!! -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 07:11 2
      - oh ... I read the memos. bleah. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:12 1
        
        *Still yells at you anyway* -- nm - Loosi's Boss Jun 25, 07:13
Wallabies snacking in Tasmania's legally grown opium poppy fields are getting "high as a kite" and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops.... - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 07:06 1
- that sounds hilarious -- nm - zork Jun 25, 07:09
Sorta related to Subby's post....this weekend, I'm in a tourney with 150 others, 1st prize is either 7500 in cash or 10k in an entry to the WSOP main - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:03 17
- *smiles, bats eyelashes* - kelly Jun 25, 07:08 1
  - Oh, I know. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:08
- Main Event for a joke (unless I really needed the cash). -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:05
- Depends on the cash breakdown of the other tourney. nm - Jim Jun 25, 07:04 8
  - Top 10% get paid, last year first paid was $20k. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:05 7
    - I guess I would have to figure the odds that I would be able to make the $7500 in the big tourney. - Jim Jun 25, 07:12 6
      - Tourney that big is a total crapshoot. Skill can help, but you need a lot of luck to make the money. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:13 5
        
        This is my rough feelings, I'd love to do the ME....but I don't have enough faith in cashing to turn down the guaranteed money. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:15
        
        yeah, thinking about I probably would too, but maybe enter the 1000 or 1500 Tourney instead -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:14 3
        
        What are the entry fees on that? It might be fun to take $2500 or something and enter a big tourney and keep the $5000. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:17 2
        
        $1000 or $1500. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:17 1
        
        See, this would not be a bad way to go. Keep a bit aside to go play in a WSOP tourney next year. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:18
- Cash. Every time. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 07:04 3
  - yes, but how many chances do you get to play in the WSOP? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 07:05 2
    - I figure I'll keep working to win one through a cheap entry online - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:07
    - I always figured that I could just buy an entry some day when my kids are older and my house is paid off. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:06
- entry -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 07:04
SITWAP: Harry Potter star Emma Watson plans to quit the movie business because she doesn't have a "burning passion"...(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 07:03 18
- I totally understand where she's coming from. -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 07:18
- That passion will come back when someone offers millions a picture. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:05 15
  - do you know how rich those kids are? she never needs to work again. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 07:05 14
    - agreed. and I could believe she's genuinely jaded by now. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 07:17
    - Yes I know. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:06 12
      - and I'd be a moron to not take millions for a role if someone offered it to me just because I don't have the "passion". Ah teenagers. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:06 11
        
        So you're bisexual? -- nm - mara Jun 25, 07:12 1
        
        What? -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:12
        
        Isn't the biggest benefit of being rich having the ability to not do things you really don't want to do? - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:11
        
        Actually, she sounds like she has a very good head on her shoulders. - kelly Jun 25, 07:11 4
        
        Good point. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:12
        
        Ben Kingsley just felt a shooting pain in his shoulderblades and doesn't know why. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:12 2
        
        His entourage is very demanding -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:16
        
        heh. -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 07:12
        
        So, what you're saying is... in terms of the conversation over the last few boards... -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:10 2
        
        I haven't read the last few boards. -- nm - lileve Jun 25, 07:12 1
        
        Heh - you might want to have a quick look (or even at the bottom of this board) - otherwise you'll be very confused -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 07:16
- Good for her. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:05
So I won my way into this million dollar tournament on Sunday using player points at Pokerstars. The question is, - Subversive Jun 25, 07:01 8
- be prepared! snacks, coffee, caffeinated beverages. it would be fun knowing you have even a small shot at a million. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 07:02 1
  - Not a million, $40,000. Still a nice chunk of change. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:08
- Of course you do for a portion of a million bucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:01 5
  - True enough, true enough. The payout structure is exceedingly flat, though. Only $40,000 for first. - Subversive Jun 25, 07:03 2
    - 10 minutes blinds is almost a turbo though, that should move quickly -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:04 1
      - Turbo is 5 minute blinds. 10 minutes is sort of normal, but the deep stacks will slow it down a lot. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 07:05
  - but if he wins less than $1500 he's totally gay. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 07:03
  - word -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:01
so was Indecent Proposal (starring Demi, Robert and Woody) mentioned at all yesterday during this conversation? Kinda similar... -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:00 2
- I thought about it. I think the $1M price tag has gone up over the years, though. - JaxSean Jun 25, 07:12 1
  - It sure has! -- nm - Dr. Evil Jun 25, 07:14
Denmark on Tuesday officially requested permission to resume hunting humpback whales off Greenland...(link) - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 07:00
so with the cash for clunkers law to be (supposedly) signed into law soon, here are a few of the rules - tRuMaN Jun 25, 06:59 10
- (i assume) the 18 mpg or less is the city rating? - decline Jun 25, 07:06 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - [deleted] 4
      - guess I'm keeping my clunker then -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:11
      - Sweet...so once the tranny on the Envoy is fixed (and it's under warranty...w00t), it has a combined 16mpg...it'll qualify. - Jim Jun 25, 07:11 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Finally, I can say that Jim has a hot tranny mess and be accurate! -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 07:15
    - crap. missed it by | | that much. -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:09
- *starts buying junk cars now and insuring them* - colin Jun 25, 07:02 1

And rent the movie "Camp" for a dramatic depiction of how a straight guy might wind up having gay sex. (spoilers) - Dano Jun 25, 06:55 2
- and by dramatic you mean only happens in a movie right? -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 06:58 1
  - Well, I do know that movie was semi-autobiographical. And seeing it actually crystalized some thoughts about someone I actually knew in real life. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 07:08
Upper management at fortune 500 companies should know the difference between your and you're. They just should. -- nm - Subversive Jun 25, 06:55 1
- But I know about "business solutions", Six Sigma and synergyies!!! Why should I care about grammar? -- nm - Fortune 500 Executive Jun 25, 06:58
Manitoba First Nation declares State of Emergency over Swine Flu -- (link) - Beaker Jun 25, 06:50
This is a good poll: Who's the best #1 overall pick since the lottery started. Ewing, D.Robinson, Shaq, Duncan, Lebron. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:46 5
- right now, today. its a tie of shaw and duncan. but given time, probably lebron. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 25, 06:50
- On 06/25/2009, I'd say Tim Duncan. But that could change when LeBron hangs 'em up. nm -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 06:48 2
  - Yeah, all depends on how many titles Lebron wins imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:50 1
    - well, first he's got to get off the Cav's -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:13
- I agree. Lebron could dethrone him in 10 years though, depending on the remainder of his career -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 06:47
From BB's: Until the discussion last night, I never considered that sexual orientation could be defined by attraction rather than actual sex.... - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 06:44
Ok...so check this out. We took our family vacation last week to Gatlinburg, TN. We drove and a few days before we left, Carrie decided to cash in a - Jim Jun 25, 06:34 11
- Doolywood! And Doolywood's Splash County! -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 06:44 3
  - We did the entire week without doing one thing that involved Dolly...so I consider that a success! We had a GREAT time! -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 06:46 1
    - I am looking at the wiki page of the Great Smoky Mountains NP right now - looks fantastic -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 06:51
  - How can I do the same typo twice? I obviously need more coffee -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 06:45
- it is never good to blow a tranny. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 06:43 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - so does Eddie Murphy -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 06:45
  - (unless it's on camera an you're getting paid) -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 06:44
- [deleted] 1
  - No kidding. Plus...we drove down in the evening to visit a friend who lives on the way... - Jim Jun 25, 06:49
- nice. - znufrii Jun 25, 06:41
I'd argue that a straight guy isn't going to have sex with a guy *on camera* for free. - mafic Jun 25, 06:32 31
- It's funny to wake up, shower, eat breakfast, and then log on to see we are on this same topic. - Redmond Jun 25, 07:02
- I'm serious, peeps ... this is the entire premise of Humpday! -- nm - secretslacker Jun 25, 06:45
- I also think once you get to the point where you're going to do it on camera to be put online, you're already outside average boundaries anyway. - Dano Jun 25, 06:42 20
  - i disagree - marcel Jun 25, 06:46
  - I don't know why it's such a debate... Everybody has a price for just about everything IMO. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 06:43 18
    - The key to your statement is "just about everything" not everything. - Redmond Jun 25, 07:12
    - *gives Dignan a nickel, wonders what he will do* -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 06:48 3
      - He'll be dancin' for hours! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 06:56
      - [deleted]
      - anyting you like. nm -- nm - groiny, so horny Jun 25, 06:49
    - Yeah, some people value the money more than their standard sexuality. - Will Hunting Jun 25, 06:47 1
      - it's not like female hookers are having sex with male customers because it's 'sexually appealing' to them. - Andie Jun 25, 06:48
    - [deleted] 10
      - "Price" isn't limited to monetary reward necessarily. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 25, 06:59
      - My point wasn't that it was universal. My point is that once you've taken that step, other steps probably aren't as "out there" as some people think. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 06:56
      - i think it's easy for any of us to say that being as we aren't desperate for money. - Andie Jun 25, 06:49 6
        
        there are lines I wouldn't cross, but they're not exactly things people would pay me to do anyway. - mafic Jun 25, 06:54
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        i really really doubt that. - Andie Jun 25, 06:55 1
        
        like every hypothetical situation, I do not believe most of the answers people give. - groiny Jun 25, 06:58
        
        you had me at hello. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 06:55
        
        it's all about motivation - marcel Jun 25, 06:51
      - how much for the wife and kids? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 06:48
- Related to your post on B2 about strippers...I'm wondering if straight girls will do that more - Jim Jun 25, 06:37 2
  - yeah, I think that's all a big part of it. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 06:39
  - "Pibb Ramblings" would make a good name -- nm - prayformojo Jun 25, 06:39
- (actually, there are probably a lot of gay guys that wouldn't have sex with a man on camera for free). - mafic Jun 25, 06:34 3
  - I would not have sex with a woman on camera let alone a guy...unless its Drew Barrymore or my mortgage is being paid off!! - Walt_Disney Jun 25, 06:48
  - I actually wonder if the "on camera to be put online" is the bigger boundary to cross. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 06:43
  - FWIW, my wife is the only person I'd have sex on camera with for free. nm - Jim Jun 25, 06:38
