    - Considering that consumers putting money into savings - and keeping it there - is partly to blame for the recession being as bad as it is - Beryllium Jul 16, 16:29 2
      - Well, they were trying to get more people to save before the recession. - the liioulu with silver chains Jul 16, 16:35 1
        
        yep. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 16:35
    - because no one is buying their ad space. -- nm - psilotum Jul 16, 16:24 1

  - dont you have a booty call or something to do; instead of trying to be "mr state the obivious man"? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 15:27 1
    - Considering that I have to lead by example for you, I don't know what you do know or don't know. -- nm - Remlik Jul 16, 15:46
12% of email users have bought something from spam. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 16, 15:20 3
- This is impressive, given most of the spam I receive actually seems criminal in nature and offers no viable item to purchase. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 16, 15:38
- 12% of e-mail users are morons. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 16, 15:21 1

I did a poll on my site asking fans what their favorite Harry Potter slash pairing was. Here are the results: - Qale Jul 16, 15:17 17
- No Snape and Dumbledore? -- nm - the liioulu with silver chains Jul 16, 15:22 6
  - Wasn't mentioned by anyone. *shrugs* -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:24 5
    - I like how lii mentions that like it's an obvious combo -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 15:25 4
      - Seems like an obvious one to me. They've got a history. -- nm - the liioulu with silver chains Jul 16, 15:27 3
        
        Someone mentioned Dumbledore and You Know Who, but I didn't list it. -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:28 2
        
        That's just sick. - the liioulu with silver chains Jul 16, 15:31 1
        
        Ah, the beauty of slash. -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:33

    - Isn't she, like, 19 now? -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:25
    - Right after the You x Tiny option -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 15:23
  - She looked really amazing on Letterman and went toe to toe with him. -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:22
- How is Hagrid and Hermione a choice, but not Harry and Hermione? -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 15:19 4
  - Typically slash either takes alternate sexualities of the characters or just goes way insane crazy with the pairings. Harry and Hermione is ... dull. -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:20 3
    - and yet, no pairings for Hedwig. This makes Hedwig sad. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:28 2
      - Hedwig x Hermonie. ("I'm not an owl!" -- nm - Qale Jul 16, 15:29 1
        
        also, they should do an extra bit on the DVD of Snape wizard-slapping Draco around the grounds of Hogwarts. That would be priceless. - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:35
