        "the experience of feeling outwitted by the machine is almost universal in the online world" - Dr,Vermin Jul 2, 11:41 2

      - I am papa now. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:24 3
        
        This sentence amuses me quite a bit; I am picturing Spawn as a heavily-accented moustachioed circus strongman. "Ha. Ha. I am papa now!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:37 2
        
        moustachioed? hardly! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:49

      - [deleted] 2
        
        I didn't say anything had changed, did I? :) -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 11:27 1
        
        CT and Dawson shop in the same joke shop. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:28
      - I kind of belonged to a number of groups, but not really, but that was enough to help keep the dogs at bay. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:23
    - I was nearly a year younger than everyone else in class, and that much smaller, and meek, and had no social aptitude. - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:22 2
      - so, not much different than now. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 11:44
      - (I don't know if I was ever hit, per se ... not that I recall. Except for one hilarious run-in with a toboggan.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:25
  - They get bullied, they stand up for themselves, and somehow they're the bad guy. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 2, 11:11 1

    - Ah yes, schoolyard rules ... prison rules ... what's the different? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:17 2
      - My son's first day in pre-K, he put a kid in the hospital, and no body ever messed with him again. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 2, 11:18
      - difference. Dammit. I need poster-goggles when these freaking air conditioners are on. It sounds like an industrial warehouse in here. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:17
- ::removes "Yellow" from list of Cameron nicks:: -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:06 2
  - I'm real curious to know if he whipped out any sweet martial arts moves...or if it was just a brawl. - Jim Jul 2, 11:09
  - /punches Spawn in the nuts. You can add "Ballbreaker" to that list, old man. -- nm - Cameron s.i. Jul 2, 11:07
- *high five* -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 11:03

- That's Dean Cain, right? -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 11:01 4
  - His career sure has fallen -- nm - Mr. Havens Jul 2, 11:05
  - Don't have audio right now, but if it is, he's looking a little wide. -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 11:04 1
    - yes, he is looking a little wide in that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:05

The music used in the commercial for the new NBC show with Joel McHale - The Community - sounds like a Matt & Kim song. Help me prove this. -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 10:53
I put some Pepsi in the freezer about 10 minutes ago in preparation for lunch at noon (an hour and 10 minutes from now) - Beryllium Jul 2, 10:48 9
- Mmmm. I'd go for a cola slushie right now. -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 11:01
- what size? a 561 ml bottle should be chilled, a can might be slightly frozen -- nm - Beaker Jul 2, 11:00 2
  - 591mL bottle -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 11:04 1
    - might want to check it in 45 minutes or so to make sure not starting to freeze...but it should be nice and chilled -- nm - Beaker Jul 2, 11:10
- depends on the freezer - zork Jul 2, 10:51
- I don't think horse piss ever freezes -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jul 2, 10:50 2

        (and then went on to stronger drugs during Bush Jr years) -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 11:07
