Things I didn't know, Episode 39.2 -- Ficus tree = fig tree -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:54 1
- No way. Maybe this is why I've always wondered "WTF is a ficus tree?" -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 13:55
andrea, I'm not complaining. and you know I love you, right? but please, you know me better than that. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 13:47 37
- The point was, instead of calling or emailing, I sent flowers. - Spawn Jul 8, 13:53
- that's cool. i just think if your biggest problem in life is unwanted flowers, well, you're a lucky lucky girl. - Andie Jul 8, 13:50 15
  - yeah, I do know this. I just tend to think of flowers like a gift card or something. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 13:53 10
    - I know you don't like me a lot of the time, but we are all lined up on this. - loosilu Jul 8, 13:54 9
      - it would never occur to me to consider it payment. -- nm - b. Jul 8, 13:56 8
        
        i already bought you dinner! (haha) -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:57
        
        "thanks for the vag! i can't afford a diamond!" -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:57
        
        I don't even want to be thanked. I didn't do the guy a favor. - loosilu Jul 8, 13:56 5
        
        ayyiyi. -- nm - b. Jul 8, 13:59
        
        if it's good enough, you'll both end up thanking eachother. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:58
        
        they're not "thank you" flowers! - kare Jul 8, 13:58 1
        
        that's how the guys were talking about it on BBs. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 14:01
        
        Clearly, you've never met Pixie. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:57
  - (For the record, this has never happened to me.) -- nm - Andie Jul 8, 13:53 3
    - Don't worry, the flowers from Dano will be there any day now. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:54 2
      - hey, i've sent *two* men on this board flowers and / or plants! - Andie Jul 8, 13:55 1
        
        I *love* sending flowers to dudes. but that's different somehow. because it's less ... the norm. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 13:58
- *stocks up on ficus trees* -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:49
- I am pretty much in this boat as well. I'm a quirky girl and most guys will figure that out quick. - loosilu Jul 8, 13:48 18
  - For you, an African tribal mask would be more appropriate - Roger More Jul 8, 13:51 1
    - er, *quickly hides stash of tribal masks* -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:51
  - 1) i can't believe you guys are adopting "jam" 2) if i expected jeff to know exactly when to get me flowers and exactly what kind of gift i need (or - kare Jul 8, 13:49 15
    - but we're not talking about "occasions." we're talking post-jam. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 13:55 1
      - how about pre-jam? nm -- nm - zombie Steve McNair Jul 8, 13:56
    - Thank you. - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 13:53
    - 1) a-freakin-men. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:52
    - kid, "jam" is genius. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:50 4
      - so is "snap site" -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:51 3
        
        what is "snap-site"? "jam" is awesome because it's not cussing. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 8, 13:54 2

        im hoping mandy is just blanking, cause no way she would have missed this -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:55
    - He gave you a power sander, didn't he? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:50 5
      - *that* would be a sweet gift -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:51 2
        
        that would be a pun gift. - loosilu Jul 8, 13:55 1
        
        Oh....hee! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:55
      - I've never heard of that one. What position is it in? -- nm - Max Jul 8, 13:51 1
        
        The Tripod position and a free hand. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:52
Several really good indies coming out or expanding now: (500) Days of Summer, The Hurt Locker, Humpday, Moon -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 13:46 6
- also some screenings of Adam -- (link) - zork Jul 8, 13:55
- some free screenings still coming up for 500 -- (link) - zork Jul 8, 13:49
- Oh crap, I have a 500DOS pass for a screening tonight - don't think I'll be making it. - kelly Jul 8, 13:48 2
  - mine isnt til the 21st -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:51 1
    - I have another pass for next Thursday, but that one is more of a drive and I'm not sure I want to drive to Baltimore just to see a movie. - kelly Jul 8, 13:52
- i badly want to see Moon (and Away We Go) -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:47
I should have sent flowers. nm -- nm - zombie Steve McNair Jul 8, 13:44
Oh, and I think I'm mad at Don Homer right now. - kelly Jul 8, 13:43
friend update: with my encouragement, she will "maybe" send him an email in a couple hours. stay tuned! -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:43 25
- Somewhere in there, she should say "man, I'm having trouble walking today." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 13:56
- i think she should just cool it and wait another day. - Guy Jul 8, 13:46 19
  - my advice to her was to quit worrying about how she'd come off to him. why fear seeming needy or clingy? why not just be yourself? - kare Jul 8, 13:48 18
    - stopping yourself from broadcasting a negative aspect of your personality early on in a relationship is not "playing games", imo - Guy Jul 8, 13:53 3
      - i shared my neuroticism. quite a bit. how he reacted and how we made it thru was one way in which i ultimately knew he was a keeper. -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:55 2
        
        fair enough. :) -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:57 1
        
        as b. says above, everyone is different. :) -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:59
    - she should send him flowers -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:49 1
      - heh, i thought that when i just skimmed that thread. -- nm - b. Jul 8, 13:54
    - the thing is, she will *seem* needy and clingy, because she's being needy and clingy. - loosilu Jul 8, 13:49 9
      - Calling someone you slept with the next day is needy and clingy? That's effing retarded. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:55 2
        
        calling them with purpose is not. calling them because you're worried they won't call you is. -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:59
        
        no, flipping out is. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:56
      - i see nothing wrong with reaching out to him, considering how their relationship is going. (question: would he seem needy and clingy if he contacted - kare Jul 8, 13:51 4
        
        I know nothing about him, but I know that she's flipping out, which is the needy/clingy part. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:52 3
        
        she's checking with her friends, not waiting outside his office. - b. Jul 8, 13:58 1
        
        she needs to chill before she talks to him. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 14:03
        
        yeah, its hard to hide that part, no matter how innocuous the email is -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:56
      - both of you are correct -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:50
    - *endorses kare's advice* -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:49
    - Worse case, she got laid and he got lost. Better off in the long run. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:49
- oh gawd, either do it or don't. waiting two hours won't accomplish anything -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:45 2
  - some things you don't want to have to deal with in the middle of the work day - 'lia Jul 8, 13:49 1
    - i missed what it is but *something* is going on with you today - zork Jul 8, 13:53
- I have a delivery for... -- nm - 1800 Flowers delivery man Jul 8, 13:44

LIR: I'm grateful today that my car emissions testing took, like, 3 min from start to finish (including paying for the test) and it passed. Also, - kelly Jul 8, 13:42 13
- did they send the results to the DMV? NV smog tests do -- nm - peglegpete Jul 8, 13:48
- dude. please see my replies on bwhatever. i can see why you took it the way you did. - kare Jul 8, 13:45
- I hate chicken pot pie. ugh -- nm - CQ Jul 8, 13:43 9
  - You know who else didn't like chicken pot pie? - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:47 1
    - this is so ridiculous, I'm laughing like crazy -- nm - CQ Jul 8, 13:48
  - wonderful, more for me. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:44
  - there are so many things about you I find odd. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:43 5
    - it's because I am odd, especially when it comes to food -- nm - CQ Jul 8, 13:44 4
      - Business as usual on TT. You can hang out with the no-food-touching freaks. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:46 3
        
        I don't mind certain foods touching, but others have no business being on the same plate -- nm - CQ Jul 8, 13:48 2
        
        That's why you eat them quickly so the evil doesn't persist for long. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:55
        
        Stop talking to me, freak. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:53
- mmm...chicken pot pie. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 13:42
Seriously. Has the Kool Aid man been running around naked all these years? -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 13:40 1
- What do you think he uses to bust down that wall? -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 13:42
David, since you're around, hit me with your list - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 13:40
For the record, when I used to jam nuns I did *not* send them flowers the next day. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 13:40 7
- i don't think anyone thinks it should be a default thing. -- nm - Andie Jul 8, 13:43
- Rosary beads? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 8, 13:40
- since the average age of nuns these days is about 65, they probably didn't remember. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:40 4
  - "Sister Catherine, you're walking kinda funny." *blank stare* -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:44 3
    - (spoiler) - znufrii Jul 8, 13:51 1
      - That's cuz she's been a good nun; not a bad nun. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:53
    - probably blames it on a ruptured disk. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:48
nitpick: against whom -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:38 3
- How would that commercial be considered racist at all? - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 13:41 2
  - It was just a father and son in a boat, watching to idiot mascots log race, with banjo music in the background. - Beryllium Jul 8, 13:46 1
    - (Although, on the other hand, maybe there's some effing retarded "watermelon"-like slur that I have never been exposed to, that I'm missing) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 13:47
3 hrs ago I was on a road when a truck in front of me applied the brakes so suddenly it resulted in heavy smoke frm the tires. Even now I still smell - HdnAgnda Jul 8, 13:38
*is thinking about randomly sending "I enjoyed the sex" flowers to people I don't know* -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 13:37 7
- haha. nice -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 13:47
- you don't really know me. -- nm - b. Jul 8, 13:46
- There's an address in maryland I'll forward to you. -- nm - Max Jul 8, 13:40

  - 's homes. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:40
- with or without signing the card? -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:38 1
  - without -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 13:39
weird beverage and ice observation - Reagen Jul 8, 13:37 8
- we are all picturing you doing this and writing a lab report on the results -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:39 1
  - and ringing a bell every time it's successful -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 13:41
- If you put the ice in first, they are all already touching. Putting the ice in second means they don't hit the cola as a big clump. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:39 5
  - but why only with the one specific type of beverage? -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:40 4
    - the release of carbonation is a cooling reaction, so I wonder if CZ for some reason has more CO2 in it, or for some reason releases it faster. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 13:42 3
      - could be something in it that makes CO more soluble - zork Jul 8, 13:44 2
        
        right. Let me just find my stash of platinum... - Reagen Jul 8, 13:46 1
        
        no wonder my wife called me a Vulcan too -- nm - zork Jul 8, 13:57
maybe it's just me but if you are wondering about whether to send flowers after sex, you're probably hooking up too fast. - zork Jul 8, 13:37 20
- Sex: no prob. Flowers: well, that's kinda weird. - musubi Jul 8, 13:41 9
  - In fairness, I bet most girls get sex more often than they get flowers, so it is probably a little unexpected. - TFox Jul 8, 13:42 8
    - you have to know the girl to know if it works, IMO. If it's a girl who has mostly dealt with assholes, she's gonna think, "what does he want?" -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:43 7
      - then she needs to give herself a "get a grip" shake for thinking every other guy will be the same, -- nm - b. Jul 8, 13:49
      - Were I to be the flower-sender, I think I would know by the day after whether she is the sort of girl who would appreciate such a gesture -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 13:49
      - wow. then he's dodging a bullet bigtime. everyone's different. not every dude is an ahole. -- nm - kare Jul 8, 13:47
      - I'm still baffled by *both* sides of this argument. (nm) - musubi Jul 8, 13:45
      - well, but then she's broken already and you're better off saving the money. -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:45 2
        
        exactly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:45 1
        
        (i mean, like, all the money, by slowly backing away.) -- nm - TFox Jul 8, 13:47
- I would like to chart the opinions on next-day flowers compared to the opinion-owner's relationship status. - Dr.Vermin Jul 8, 13:38 8
  - i think its an age thing - Guy Jul 8, 13:45 6
    - i think you may have it backwards. - b. Jul 8, 13:53
    - I'm kinda old, dude. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:47 3
      - That's a very liberal interpretation of "kinda", right? - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:48 2
        
        he said early 20s, so, double it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 13:50 1
        
        I know, i'm just having fun. No facts allowed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 13:51
    - The one time I brought flowers to a first date in college, I was rewarded in *incredible* fashion. - TFox Jul 8, 13:47
  - there're way too many variables to consider in this one -- nm - 'lia Jul 8, 13:42
- I don't think Spawn ever really said he wondered about it. -- nm - mara Jul 8, 13:38
SITWAP: Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion" - Krusty Jul 8, 13:36 2
