I love being on support with my old software company. "try disabling your antivirus software." 1) no. 2) that's obviously not the problem. - mafic Apr 25, 16:02 2

    - More like tax the famous -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 15:45

      - I would have sworn most billionaires and even Republicans in Washington were relieved when donny got banned, doomsday clock moved backwards -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 15:50

  - Who takes lightbulbs with them? If you have smart ones you're taking, leave regular ones. How cheap are people? -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 25, 15:45
  - I took all my LEDs and replaced them with spare CFLs I had lying around the last time I moved. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 15:27

        I hope he has fun. -- nm - Tim Apr 25, 16:26
    - He is very much being wasted. I love in the clip I posted how he balances himself on the ropes. -- nm - pmb Apr 25, 14:31 1
      - Right. That's the perfect touch for that bit. He has showmanship that we've seen elsewhere that he's not using in WWE. -- nm - David Apr 25, 14:38
- I love that Lesnar shot to braun in the head. -- nm - Remlik Apr 25, 14:17 1

- Well, you know where to go. -- (pic) - Spawn Apr 25, 13:50 [Attachment]
- Only this drain on humanity could convince people that the subway is antiquated while selling them a single-file car tunnel. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 13:45 2
  - I wish I could believe he was dumb enough to not understand how tunnels work, but really I think he just likes lying to people to make a more money. -- nm - mafic Apr 25, 13:48 1
    - *nods* -- nm - 45 Apr 25, 13:50
- Who indeed has heard of a tunnel flooding? -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 13:41
- *smh* Sandy caused billions in damage to our subway. -- nm - Krusty Apr 25, 13:41

Stop, election police!!! -- nm - EP Apr 25, 13:36 4
