- google free shipping codes and you'll find a couple sites that specialize in them -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 19:37
- AFAIK they have perm free shipping for orders over $50. have not receive any alerts for temporary free shipping in ages. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:13

  - I think human nature is mine. -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 19:11 7

  - It's the enevitable sister show to My Sweet Sixteen to be sure. -- nm - Qale Jun 25, 19:11
I posted this on Twitter but didn't get many responses. Why is MJ the King of Pop, Elvis is the King of Rock, but McCartney is the cute beatle? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:02 9
- After giving it some thought, I think Paul is unclassifiable. Nobody's done what he's done. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 19:13 2
  - same is true of the other three, though. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:16 1
    - OK, but let's be real: Elvis and Michael *singlehandedly* changed the entire landscape of music. - TFox Jun 25, 19:19
- but Paul was not the front of the band, they were an ensemble, plus they only did pop in the first half of the 60s -- nm - zork Jun 25, 19:12
- Because the Beatles were the Beatles. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 19:02 1
  - *obvious ding* -- nm - TFox Jun 25, 19:03
- I think it has more to do with the people who gave them the nicknames. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 19:02 2
  - who came up with King of Pop anyway? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:03 1
    - Apparently Elizabeth Taylor. -- (link) - mara Jun 25, 19:07

        oh, I don't think you're lying. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:08
  - he's releasing doves in MJ's memory. -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 18:58 4
    - don't you mean gloves? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 18:59 3
      - perhaps. But I remember when the trial for him ended there was some crazy chick that released doves -- nm - Remlik Jun 25, 19:03 2

- OH! today is reminding me of "Buckweat dead" sketch -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 18:56
So how many people reading tweets and posts heard MJ was dead and thought of Michael Jordon. - Redmond Jun 25, 18:52 8
- nope, that was just you. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 18:57 4
  - No I was told over the phone. But I saw some MJ texts after -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 18:57 3
    - brag: I was the first to tell at least 5 people. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:00 2
      - Did you tell Obama? -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 19:05 1
        
        no, he won't friend me on FB. -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 19:06
- nah, you can tell by trending topics who it is. - Callisto Jun 25, 18:54
- MJ has been and always will be Jordan to me. - Krusty Jun 25, 18:53

Okay so here is my psycho dream I had last night. I blame it all on Ty!! That discussion before bed truly effected me in a horrible way. - Redmond Jun 25, 18:49
So normally following ST I would have known about MJ from you or the internet - eag Jun 25, 18:48 23
- We *are* the internet. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 18:48 22
  - in jones speak, we say "we rule the airwaves. you can only dream." -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 25, 19:02
  - I now have mara porn! -- nm - Redmond Jun 25, 18:51 2
    - You and ... well, just you. -- nm - mara Jun 25, 18:53 1

      - You know what. Noah Wylie is a much better Librarian than you. -- nm - David Jun 25, 18:52 4
        
        It's true. If by "librarian" you mean "cheap made-for-television Indiana Jones knockoff." -- nm - mara Jun 25, 18:54 3
