    - Or she's going to do something with birds. - spamlet Mar 10, 13:51 2
      - go to Indeed and search for birds. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 16:19
      - I think opportunities will be much better without the birds - zork Mar 10, 13:53
- Yeah. We didn't see them much at the parties. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:25 1

- "You need that dichotomy." -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 14:30
- I love how Pitch Meeting has to use clips from the trailers when they don't have a digital streaming movie. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 13:13 1
  - I don't like it when pitch meeting does movies that aren't even on streaming yet. Both because I can't watch and because it seems rushed. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:15
And then? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:06 1
