Once again, people break into dance at a train station... -- (link) - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 09:25 [youtube] 1
- cool, but not as good as the first one though -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:29
LYC Grrrrr - Dano Jun 30, 09:21
I thought last place on that NFL thing was very surprising, because I assumed it was just for last year. - David Jun 30, 09:20 2
- It had to be a three year average or something, or last place would have been infinite. (nm) - musubi Jun 30, 09:24 1
  - From 2004 to 2008. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:25
hey pmb, for a real Maryland crab dinner, drive up to Baltimore one night and hit up Obrycki's -- nm - dug Jun 30, 09:12 2
- I'm not renting a car. We're only there a few days so I really just planned on staying in DC. - pmb Jun 30, 09:30
- Heh, I almost forgotten that you're a transplant from the Least Coast. - musubi Jun 30, 09:17
pmb from b2 - If you're looking for great crab restaurants, Annapolis is the way to go. - Inigo Jun 30, 09:10 3
- How far is Annapolis? - pmb Jun 30, 09:31 1
  - About 30 miles from DC. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 09:32
- Agreed on Annapolis for crabs, but if you want to see the DC fireworks, Bethesda crab might be the place -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 09:14
Might this be a decent way to promote ST to intelligent people? Click on my profile pic and make a comment, *Like*, or mock me *IF* you are confident - con_carne Jun 30, 09:07 1

must. stop. eating. these. Reese's. Bites. -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:03 4
- *wonders about z's priorities - 'lia Jun 30, 09:07 2
  - I dislike chocolate and rarely, if ever eat it. -- nm - decline Jun 30, 09:18
  - actually, i went about 15 years without eating chocolate -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:13
- Grapes are yummy and filling. -- nm - lileve Jun 30, 09:06
I'm quite disappointed with how little Obama is doing to putting his weight behind getting real health reform passed. - Don Homer Jun 30, 09:00 26
- You basically want him to raise taxes right? At this point, that's what it would take to have more health reform -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:13 4
  - with a trillon dollar deficit he HAS to raise taxes in any event. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:26 3
    - You'd hope so. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:27 2
      - Fiscal what now? (nm) - State of California Jun 30, 09:29 1
        
        Y'all are a special kinda stupid. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:31
- *shrug* That health care reform is even on the table seems like a pretty big use of political capital. - musubi Jun 30, 09:12 7
  - The sheer size of the government debt makes it a good time to pursue healthcare reform. -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 09:14 5
    - but you could say this about any program though. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:26 1
      - Sure - social security, tax code reform - all of these have needed hard decisions for the past 20 years or so, and have been continually deferred -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 09:32
    - assuming healthcare reform = costs less, of course :) - Roger More Jun 30, 09:17 2
      - that's the eventual goal. in the short term, it's going to cost more to extend insurance to the previously uninsured. - znufrii Jun 30, 09:18 1
        
        I know, but there's also a huge budget deficit in the short term - Roger More Jun 30, 09:29
  - word -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 09:13
- he's too busy being awesome. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:00 12
  - It's hard not to be awesome when your standing above the country, above the world....sort of like God! -- nm - Stephen Jun 30, 09:06 11
    - What a swell pair of responses. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 09:10 10
      - I know, huh? - Stephen Jun 30, 09:19
      - hee hee (he's not really doing much on gay marriage as promised either is he? How many such issues are out there like that?) -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:11 8
        
        Actually his comments yesterday were very encouraging on that front. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 09:19 5
        
        I'm a bit tired of everyone expecting Obama to step in on gay marriage. It needs to start with Congress. Write your Congressman, people. -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:25 2

        Can he just write an executive order ending DOMA and DADT? - musubi Jun 30, 09:31
        
        [deleted]
        
        we'll see how that translates to action, though -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:23
        
        Tons. The guy is still just human. - musubi Jun 30, 09:14
        
        plus the fact that I was kidding. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:12
Well done on that Air New Zealand in-flight safety video. They actually made it compelling (although the crew clearly had the giggles) -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 08:57 4
- yeah, there's an outtakes video somewhere. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 09:04 2
  - blooper reel. don't know if it's SFW... -- (link) - znufrii Jun 30, 09:14 [youtube] 1
    - Nah. Nothing special there. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 09:17
- *books flight to New Zealand* -- nm - JackDawson si Jun 30, 08:59
Beached Bovine Blues -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 30, 08:56 1
- DINNER! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 09:19
Here's a new pic of the parents of MJ's kids. -- (link) - CrankYanker Jun 30, 08:56 [Image] 2
- The website name is perfect for the picture...That is simply dumb -- nm - amoxy Jun 30, 08:57 1
  - last night i saw (on CNN) the girl from the Thriller video ... she's been busy having surgery too - zork Jun 30, 09:01
uh-oh...an ex gf of mine has asked to be FB friends. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 08:55 38
- You already broke up with that girl just since I found out about her last night? -- nm - David Jun 30, 09:20 4
  - It amuses me how slow ST is. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 09:24 3
    - heh. - tRuMaN Jun 30, 09:26 1
      - Yeah, I had dinner with them Saturday. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 09:38
    - I get all my info from the Coconut Telegraph on XBox Live. -- nm - David Jun 30, 09:26
- See? Evil. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 09:10 1
  - Well at least Amy is on there so she can post cute pictures of the logan:) -- nm - eag Jun 30, 09:11
- that's always interesting -- nm - 'lia Jun 30, 09:08
- We know we can now "Hide" people friended with from our News Feed, right? - con_carne Jun 30, 08:57 3
  - better to ignore. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:59
  - might as well not friend them at all -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 30, 08:58
  - yeah. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 08:58
- How long ago did you go out? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 08:57 9
  - a while ago..10 or so years ago. She's....interesting. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 08:57 8
    - Curious or just think it will lead to trouble? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 09:01 7
      - curious. We were never very serious. She's a nice person....just interesting. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 09:06 1
        
        Go for it. It's been a decade and by your own words you weren't that serious. Sounds like it won't bother you to know where she is at now. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 09:21
      - what good could possibly come from establishing contact with a crazy ex? in my experience, none. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:05 4
        
        crazy freaky sex baby! -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:06 3
        
        yeah, I remember crazy freaky sex with Rich the Sadist. - loosilu Jun 30, 09:07 2
        
        And some people (Remlik) like how Rich the Sadist treated them and thus...friendship renewed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:28 1
        
        I had no idea they knew each other. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:30
- Don't...I am already regretting "Facebook Friending" my ex wife - amoxy Jun 30, 08:56 11
  - You don't have to actively pursue her on Facebook. I ignore most of you guys on FB. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 30, 09:20
  - just click the little X in the top right corner on anything from her in your feed, she'll still be your friend, you can still see her page, you just - Andie Jun 30, 09:01 1
    - Thanks. I think I will do this -- nm - amoxy Jun 30, 09:05
  - Oh yes you can. Just say it isn't working for you. It doesn't feel right at this time. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 09:00 7
    - just defriend and say nothing. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:01 6
      - I guarantee you he will have to explain at some point. Be upfront and direct about it. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 09:02 4
        
        That's as if you owe them an explanation, which I don't think is the case here. If eventually asked, of course, then explain. -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:04 2
        
        well, if they discussed the 'photo sharing' thing, then he should explain. - Andie Jun 30, 09:05 1
        
        they do still show up in the highlights and you can't do anything about it. sometimes the links stay there for days or weeks. - loosilu Jun 30, 09:07
        
        "Oh, you got defriended? Huh, wonder how that happened? Must be a bug in Facebook." -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:03
      - yes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:01
- she misses the bald headed action -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:56 2
  - She must be desperate then:) -- nm - eag Jun 30, 08:57 1
    - they just can't get enough Eag. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 08:58
- *ignore* -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 08:55
What's the better city to celebrate (get drunk) on July 4? DC or NYC? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 30, 08:54 19
- Anywhere but your apartment. -- nm - Spawn Jun 30, 09:10
- have fun! -- nm - 'lia Jun 30, 09:07
- Boston. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:55 13
  - I'm from Canada, and even *I* know this is the correct answer. - Beryllium Jun 30, 08:57 7
    - I don't know where you have to go in NYC to actually *see* the fireworks. Brooklyn Esplanade? -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:58 6
      - this year they're doing them on the Hudson instead of the East River. I believe they close down the highway to let people get to the waterfront. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 08:59 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        yeah. depending on where and how high above the skyline they are, I should be able to have a good view from my roof, but we'll see... -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:21 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        ask Macy's. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:31
        
        (but East River would have been all the more incredible) -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:22
  - pretty much. - znufrii Jun 30, 08:56 4
    - who needs the esplanade? anywhere on the banks is good. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:57 3
      - Or on a makeshift raft tethered in one of the lagoons. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 08:58 2
        
        You could walk across the Charles by hopping boat to boat. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:59 1
        
        just about, yeah. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:00
- That depends, do you prefer riots or jerkwads? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 08:55 2
  - and what type of obnoxious tourists do you prefer? -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:56 1
    - "The crunchy kind!" -- nm - Morbo Jun 30, 08:57
Reason #108 why Canada's legal system is a joke: murder and dismember your girlfriend...get 12-20 years in prison (before parole) -- (link) - Beaker Jun 30, 08:54 11
- [deleted]
- that's if he gets parole. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 08:59 9
  - isn't it pretty much assured with our system unless you do bad things behind bars? -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:02 6
    - In Canada, Harper (iirc) was trying this spring to eliminate the 'faint hope' provision for granting parole to long-sentence prisoners. -- nm - second gary Jun 30, 09:20 1
      - hey, i noticed from your post last night that you are in the GTA. I really miss that University Theatre (saw a midnight screening of Indy2 there) -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:23
    - this was my thought -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 09:03 3
      - Karla only had to do her full term because of antics they could point to in the hearings -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:06 2
        
        there was NO WAY she was getting out early. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 09:11 1
        
        yep, but they still had to come up with reasons to *not* parole her. -- nm - zork Jun 30, 09:23
  - the fact he is eligible at all is insane. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:59 1
    - Many criminals are eligible for parole every so many years, doesn't mean they'll get it. Charles Manson, as one example, has been up several times. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 09:00
The Ghostbusters have been simpsonized -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 30, 08:54
Andie: as a business student at my school, I only ever have class Mon-Thur. When I started working this summer, it took me weeks to grasp working - Hotkiss Jun 30, 08:53 1
- i am so excited. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:54
for Remlik: Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky are all officially "commonwealths", not states. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:52 9
- While true, I do believe they are also each a State of the Union and defined as such in their respective Constitutions. -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:58 1
  - it has no legal ramifications that I know of, just an old name. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:01
- and I just realized my brother has lived in all of them as an adult. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:53
- I knew a few of those -- nm - eag Jun 30, 08:53 5
  - Plus I think your missing a few -- nm - eag Jun 30, 08:54 4
    - nope. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:55 3
      - Ive heard them refer to West Virgina as a commonwealth -- nm - eag Jun 30, 08:56 2
        
        nope. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:00

"That's no first....that's a space station" -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:51 2
- Speaking of which. Virtuality on Fox did not impress me. Concept was good but came across as bland. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 30, 08:53 1
  - based on it's ratings, no worries about debating watching it again in any event :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:55
Oh f***. The Post describes Beltrans injury could "potentially jeopardize his career". - musubi Jun 30, 08:51
