- Uhm, 29 years ago is not as... round? -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:13
- Which season had Puck and Pedro, Real World San Francisco? That was the most memorable one for me. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 2, 09:03 2
  - Yup. I don't even know if that was the only one I watched, but it's definitely the only one I remember. -- nm - mara Jul 2, 09:21

- Common, what else would anyone search for there -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 2, 11:35
- It's my first result too. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 2, 09:11 3
  - Yeah not to be anti-conspiracy but what else would be on a list starting with “Nova Sco..”? -- nm - Volnelk Jul 2, 09:14 2
    - Province, capital, cities, population, sites, lox? -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 09:27
    - the country? - Pippy Jul 2, 09:23
- It is spying on us also! I typed "Nova Sco" and it was the second result in the autocomplete! :) -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 08:36 5
  - Is this a poll? "Nova Scotia Power" - Reagen Jul 2, 08:51
  - It's spying on me spying on you! For me, the dog breed is the second autocomplete after the province. -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 08:44 3
    - me too. maybe it's just a breed that is increasing in popz now. -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 2, 08:50 2
      - Maybe. Seemed incredibly strange to me to be the first autofill (or even the second). -- nm - pmb Jul 2, 08:54 1
        
        Second for me as well. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:59

The Twenty alumni Juuku is playing a show here in Houston on July 17th. It’s free with RSVP. But I dunno how I feel about going to a concert yet. Hmm. -- nm - Qale Jul 2, 07:57 2
- indoor or outdoor? -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 2, 07:58 1
  - Indoor. I know I’m very well protected, and free concert is a damn treat for me right now especially. But eh… -- nm - Qale Jul 2, 08:21
DTL: Possibly the Game of Season today. (At least of the regular season). Go Cephalopods! -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 07:56 3
- I came within a whisker of beating another top 20 team. This is starting to weird me out. Am I actually becoming competitive? - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:59

Elsa is a hurricane, hurray! -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 07:42 15
- Let it go. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 07:53 11
  - Now this is in my head. Though, I did hear it the other day on Ted Lasso so it was likely lying dormant waiting to be triggered again. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:33 8
    - Luckily, I have only heard the song once. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:37 7
      - I heard bits here and there but only recently heard the full song. A bit is sung very well in Ted Lasso so I'm guessing you haven't seen it yet which - Krusty Jul 2, 08:45 6
        
        Is Ted Lasso Apple TV? ST knows me and that Apple is second only to FB in terms of Evil, so it will never happen. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:48 5
        
        Sadly, it is. I have it all downloaded and would be happy to share it with you. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:53 2
        
        I imagine it will eventually be sold to someone good. I am patient. But thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:55 1
        
        I was hoping there was a DVD set I could buy for you but I only see it from some shady site I don't trust. It's owned by Warner Bros. so it's up to - Krusty Jul 2, 08:59
        
        But Ted Lasso is a force of pure goodness and light. -- nm - Reagen Jul 2, 08:52 1
        
        Then I hope one day he breaks free from the darkness he is surrounded by. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:53
  - That's It! - eag Jul 2, 08:03 1
    - Bah, it had to be said. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:32
- My boss and his family are vacationing in South Florida starting today and going through next week. I guess his kids can add - JD Jul 2, 07:48 2
  - There is still quite a while before that can become true. Any major interaction with the mountains of the islands will knock Elsa on her ass. - IAmQale Jul 2, 08:46
  - I have a friend down in the Dominican Republic right now. I won't how this will affect her return this weekend. -- nm - sycor Jul 2, 07:51

I shouldn't have to get an mmj card. and if I got one, I should be able to use my HSA for it. the system is broken. -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 2, 07:21 1

  - Glen Coco! Glen Coco! Glen Coco! -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 07:51
- I saw a little kitty somewhere on IG whose name was Miette. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 07:29 6
  - You kick Miette? You kick her body like the football? -- nm - mafic Jul 2, 07:47 1
    - hee! -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 07:48
  - interesting, we were floating Minette (pronounced Min-ett-ee) which was my great-aunts name. Old fashioned names seem to suit her. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 2, 07:32 3
    - Oh, that makes sense when you call them together. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 07:37 2
      - My nephew helpfully suggested "Flufftullah". -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 08:02 1

- My grandmother's dog was named Mitzi (this was 40+ years ago) :) -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 07:27 4
  - oh, wait. my best friend's dog in high school was named Mitzi. I feel like i can't do that now... Hrmmmmm -- nm* - Andie Jul 2, 07:28 3
    - Maybe Milly, but she's probably too elegant for that. Misha? -- nm - mara Jul 2, 08:02 1
      - Mabel was the front runner for a while, and Lizzie isn't ruled out yet. I feel like she'll let us know. :) -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 08:24
    - Maybe some other old film stars? Hedy, Bette, Audrey. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 07:41
- *quickly backboards for kitty pics* Oh, foofy tail! -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:23 2
  - I will try to get some new pics this weekend. When she's a bit more comfy in the space. -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 07:27
  - I not so secretly want to quit my job and start a home for rescue kitties for people to adopt... and then keep all the kitties. -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:26
- Yay!!! - Krusty Jul 2, 07:23 2
  - Yesterday was Canada Day and there were so many fireworks last night, i felt so bad, she was already hiding under the bed in our office (we are - Andie Jul 2, 07:26 1
    - Awww, that's poor timing but at least she knows you're there to keep her safe. Hopefully they adjust to each other quickly and get along very well. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:39
- does she talk? -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 2, 07:22 3
  - i think she's NOT a talker. Tallulah never shuts up, so it might be better that she's quiet. She's a loud purrer though. -- nm - Andie Jul 2, 07:26 2
    - I love motorboating cats. -- nm - Max Jul 2, 08:08 1
      - Yup! -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:46
She may be able to compete in the 4X100 relay by August 6th as her ban will be over then. That will be up to USATF. -- nm - Diva Jul 2, 07:13 1
- that would be great. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 2, 07:53
Listening to Wayne Chrebet on a podcast and he said his pregame meal was Swedish Fish, Tootsie Rolls and Twizzlers. He had a nervous energy and - Krusty Jul 2, 07:09 27
- Many of my ultra marathon running friends swear by Swedish Fish as their energy source during races. -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 07:51 2
  - Interesting. I had read a while back that some eat Snickers bars. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:02 1
    - It's personal preference. It's about keeping your glucose stores up. -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 09:17
- Swedish fish are the worst. Ugh. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:23 13
  - No milk shakes, no Swedish Fish. Anything else that tastes awesome that you dislike? ;-) - Krusty Jul 2, 07:41 12
    - Oh, and black licorice is great. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:58 4
      - I enjoy black licorice as well. I'm open to most candy though I really shouldn't eat it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:01 3
        
        I avoid sour candy, anything with almonds. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 08:06 2
        
        I'm not a fan of almonds either. I enjoy some sour candy like sour patch kids and the ribbons but not super sour things or hard candy. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:11
        
        No macarons for you! -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 08:08
    - Twizzlers & Red Vines > Swedish Fish -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:57
    - Have you ever had Swedish fish Italian ice? - the wrong element Jul 2, 07:51 5
      - I didn't know that was a thing but I might need to find it now. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:52 4
        
        There are a few Rita's in NYC. See if any close to you have it. - the wrong element Jul 2, 08:07 3
        
        There was one nearby but they closed after the summer of 2019. It used to be one of those places that does ices in the summer and soup in the winter. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:12 2
        
        That's a shame. They have a sour patch kids flavor, too. - the wrong element Jul 2, 08:17 1
        
        I'll keep my eye out for them as I'm wandering around this summer. Love me some ices! -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:31
- "He also said at halftime linemen eat steak but don't cut it up. Just pick it up with a fork and bite into it." I secretly love doing this. never tell -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 2, 07:18 2
  - "Amanda eats like a marine." "No, Amanda eats like a marine officer." - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:22
  - Ha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:19
- As VP of the Chrebet Fan Club, I second President Krusty's anecdote. -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:16
- Have you read about Ovechkin's nightmare of a pregame meal? - Reagen Jul 2, 07:15 3
  - Russian machine never breaks. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 07:25
  - Yikes! - Diva Jul 2, 07:20
  - Yeesh. I don't know how he skated with all that in his stomach. - Krusty Jul 2, 07:18
- Eating while exercising or doing sports never worked well for me. -- nm - budice Jul 2, 07:11 1
  - Yeah, I wouldn't eat before games either. I felt heavy and not energized. I would devour hot dogs after the games ended. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 07:16
This Tour de France thing is so stupid. After decades of fans doing this and other physical actions, they’re putting this woman on trial? - Will Hunting Jul 2, 07:06 5
- didn't the racers wreck again that same day all on their own? it's a lot to put on one person... -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 2, 07:38
- Agreed. So much crowding is the fault of the organizers -- nm - budice Jul 2, 07:07 3
  - I'm curious how they could line the course to keep people off considering how long the races are each day and for how long the entire race takes. - Krusty Jul 2, 07:15 2
    - If your going to arrest people do it after they break the rules. Not just one but all. By Day 3, they’ll stop doing it. - Will Hunting Jul 2, 07:24 1
      - I agree. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 08:14
Friday before a holiday weekend. Work motivation level: negative 3. -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:05 1

- Posting is no object! -- nm - Baronnoo Jul 2, 07:04
apparently everybody thinks weed makes you go faster. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 2, 07:01 2
- I don’t think that but I think there is sound logic in the ‘it can manage pain and allow you to get back to training faster’ argument. - Volnelk Jul 2, 07:15 1
  - it's a morality thing. alcohol is moral, weed is immoral. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 2, 07:32
