8 ways the food industry tricks your body into eating more -- (link) - dug Jul 10, 12:09 6
- Nice. (Regarding item 3, easy-chew food, this is part of the reason I like dungeness crab - a lot of effort goes into extraction) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 12:11 1
  - There's been some fascination thought recently on how learning to cook food gave us an evolutionary leg up. - znufrii Jul 10, 12:24

  - Sorry dude, I can't hire someone who can't spell. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:10 2
    - but can you let him worship you from afar? -- nm - 'lia Jul 10, 12:17 1
      - 500 yards minimum is what I told the judge. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:18
  - You can not spell in the white devil's language. -- nm - Malcom X Jul 10, 12:10 1
    - apparently you can't spell the black man's name. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:11
Determined: asp.net is effing confusing. - JaxSean Jul 10, 12:04 5

- "Anything to declare?" - Beryllium Jul 10, 12:07 2
  - It's work stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 10, 12:11 1
    - Ah, I understand. Well, hopefully the ".NET" part of ASP.NET brings it up to a usable level. - Beryllium Jul 10, 12:12
- well crud. my current cube had a ton of books that i chucked last week :( -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:05
Please try not to hate me... but... - colinski Jul 10, 12:03 27

- Congrats! (Psst email me the date) - amoxy Jul 10, 12:11 2
  - heh. we're thinking of going to the courthouse instead of a little wedding chapel.. - colinski Jul 10, 12:12 1
    - have you SEEN their court house? I am not saying go traditional but you might want to check out - Epiphany Jul 10, 12:17
- Congrats!!! -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 12:10
- I hate you. - Spawn Jul 10, 12:08 2
  - ooooooooh..... - colinski Jul 10, 12:08 1
    - LOL, I picture you doing that like the little Aliens in Toy Story -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 12:11
- Congratulations, colin -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 12:07

    - ooh. -- nm - colinsketta Jul 10, 12:07 1
      - sorry hunny, men only. -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:09
- congratulations! -- nm - b. Jul 10, 12:04
- Don't dare let the date slip. -- nm - psilotum Jul 10, 12:04 6
  - fiance: who are all these drunk people? how do they know your name? -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:05 5
    - "what are those two doing with the cake and the garter? and why are there leprechauns in all our wedding photos?" -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 12:07 3
      - you know where the same height, right? - Mel Profit Jul 10, 12:10 2
        
        nono, will and amoxy are the leprechauns lurking in the background. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 12:12 1
        
        I hate those fuckers. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 12:15

fine, you think you're so hax smart. bonus chat q: they did not invite their wedding guests to bring a "+1" people are RSVPing with +1s (and more) - dug Jul 10, 12:01 35
- 1st: don't be a dumb ass and invite 150 people to a 150 hall, 2nd if you invite guest or guests - Epiphany Jul 10, 12:15 1
  - My friends/relatives had this nutty idea. They called me to ask if I wanted a +1. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:16
- Wasn't this an episode from HIMYM? -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 12:12
- Tell em quick, it's rude of them to assume bring +1. Telling em so isn't rude. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 12:09 1
  - Yeah, an immediate "oh, sorry, you misunderstood..." is how I'd proceed. -- nm - TFox Jul 10, 12:11
- they should have allowed for +1. now they have to say no and accept it if people are put-out. - b. Jul 10, 12:09 9
  - "allowed" meaning invited with "and guest" - b. Jul 10, 12:10 8
    - disagree, they have every right not to do that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:11 7
      - sure, they have a right to do whatever they want; but that doesn't make it, er, right. - b. Jul 10, 12:15 5
        
        I can't disagree more strongly. It's a party, a very expensive one. They invite who they want. It's not up to the guests - loosilu Jul 10, 12:17 3
        
        i think more care should be given by both sides. - b. Jul 10, 12:22 2
        
        I think both parties should have picked up the phone before licking a postage stamp. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:23 1
        
        i'm good with that. (and who licks anymore? ew.) -- nm - b. Jul 10, 12:25
        
        Why do people add +1.....cuz that's how you're alerted to bring guests. Not the inverse. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 12:16
      - and you could call your friend and ASK if she's dating someone. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:12
- I'll concede it's a bit rude, but you're going to have to be rude too to deny the guests' guests. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 10, 12:04 2
  - it's not rude to tell people what they should have figured out from the original invite - dug Jul 10, 12:05
  - hell no. If it's an older relative, maybe I'll let it slide, but for cousin Emily, she's getting the smackdown. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:05
- no +1 means no +1. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 12:04 13
  - I agree with this, but if the invite didn't *say* "no +1", I can understand assuming that +1 is okay. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 10, 12:05 12
    - who the hell says "no +1" on an invite? it either says "and guest" or it doesn't. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:06
    - that's not how invitations work -- nm - dug Jul 10, 12:05 10
      - [shrug] I'm certainly not an expert. I defer to your experience. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 10, 12:07 9
        
        consider that these people have to be fed and seated. If you booked a 150 person hall and 200 show up, you've got chaos on your hands. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 12:08 7
        
        I said I defer! - Dr.Vermin Jul 10, 12:12 5
        
        unwritten? unknown? Not even close. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:15 2
        
        All these extra-guest-bringers this woman has on her RSVP list show that you're wrong. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 10, 12:17 1
        
        No, the stacks of etiquette books say the rules are written and widely disseminated. The people inviting their own guests - loosilu Jul 10, 12:20
        
        Leave it to the conservative to invoke Amendment 10 to the wedding invite rulebook. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 12:13
        
        "You didn't say no horses." -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 12:13
        
        and as we discussed the other day, it's not cheap food. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:10
        
        the invitation is for the person named on it. no one else. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:07
- imo, you should make it more clear that you are not allowing for +1's. - psilotum Jul 10, 12:04
- oh, how rude! tell them no. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:02 1
  - Yeah, agreed. -- nm - Subversive Jul 10, 12:09
ST NYC: how scary is Hotel Carter, actually? - colinski Jul 10, 12:01 10
- It's nasty, you're better off any place else. -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 12:03 9
  - huh. any cheap hotels on Manhattan? -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:04 8
    - There's a Howard Johnson's and places like that, you could probably get a standard room for a good price. - Krusty Jul 10, 12:17
    - cheap is a relative term. -- nm - dug Jul 10, 12:09
    - that you'd want to stay in? -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:08 4
      - i'll wear a flea collar, it'll be okay -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:09 3
        
        are you armed? -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:12 2
        
        you would not believe... -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:13 1
        
        piercings are not considered self defense mechanisms. - Epiphany Jul 10, 12:16
    - Of course. There are a few Best Westerns -- nm - con_carne Jul 10, 12:07

- the parents at that Philly pool club were afriad their kids would get pregnant from the black kids. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 11:57 5
  - black kids crap semen? - TFox Jul 10, 11:58 2
    - they sweat it.. - colinski Jul 10, 11:59 1
      - Well, shit. That explains a lot. -- nm - Wilt Chamberlain si Jul 10, 12:06

    - Damn straight, and we're working to change this. - NLHFPCP Jul 10, 11:57 3
      - Hrm, misapprehended the name of the organization. It should be NAALHFP. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:59
      - you might want to keep "PCP" out of your acronym. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 11:58 1
        
        I thought the "AA" part of NAACP stood for African-American. I didn't realize the "CP" stood for Coloured People. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:59

yes loosi, a woman is suing an egyptian hotel because her daughter "got impregnated by sperm in the pool". -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:54 11
- ooooooh!! why didn't someone say so? that's funny. - loosilu Jul 10, 11:55 10
  - somebody did say! - Reagen Jul 10, 11:56 8
    - yeah but there was no pregnancy on that board! -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 11:59 6
      - you're right. Semen has nothing to do with pregnancy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 12:00 5
        
        no, but seamen often do. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 12:02
        
        someone else was discussing HIV risk nearby. it wasn't a stupid conclusion to draw. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:02 3
        
        You know how you want us to tell you when you're having one of your moments? -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 12:03 1
        
        indeed. I was being a dumbass. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:04
        
        I agree, it wasn't a stupid conclusion to draw. Darn amusing, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 12:02
    - "Don't (swim in) the water!" -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 11:59
  - It's all fun and games until ... - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:56
loosi's pregnant? - colinski Jul 10, 11:54 15
- but I'm Ebola-positive. whatever will I do? -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 11:55 4
  - die, most likely. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 11:57 3
    - It would suck if I were also HIV positive. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:00 1
      - but you could take comfort in the fact that you'd probably die horribly before it mattered. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 12:04
    - loosi swallowed a spider to catch the fly... -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 11:58
- she's doing her best to spread the red! -- nm - 'lia Jul 10, 11:55 6
  - five nieces and nephews, and not a redhead among them. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:01 5
    - red runs on both sides of my family. both my parents are brunettes and so's my sister - 'lia Jul 10, 12:08
    - um.. i don't think nieces and nephews happen the way you think they do. -- nm - colinski Jul 10, 12:02 3
      - they're 25% genetically related to me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 12:03 2
        
        maybe only 12.5%. sure your mother doesn't believe in divorce, but maybe she believes in the milkman. -- nm - mafic Jul 10, 12:06 1
