  - Heh - I was *just* looking at this. (thanks) -- nm - kelly Jul 27, 06:17
  - See? bright colors...makes noises. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 06:16
- Anything that has bright colors and makes noises, at that age. Kiddie phones with the big buttons that make noise and stuff like that. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 06:13
- A big box. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 06:13

oh, also I bought this weekend on recommendation of a friend farm by dinosaur jr. and it... doesn't suck at all. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 05:52 7
- I bought this weekend on recommendation...a friend farm. - What Inigo read... Jul 27, 06:02 1
  - I'd kill for a friend farm in this town. I keep saying that I feel like I'm in solitary confinement. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 06:11
- I keep meaning to pick that up. Their entire catalog aged very well. Myself, I backfilled some gaps in the rap collection this weekend. - TFox Jul 27, 05:56 4
  - obvs I am at work so have no access now but I could toss it up on wm.org for you later if you want. (I work late tonight so likely nmbfox) - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 05:59 3
    - I wish I had an easier ability to repay these magnificent favors. - TFox Jul 27, 06:00 2
      - you can ply me with liquor one evening when I'm close! nmbfox - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 06:05 1
        
        fantabulous. you know how to g me if it firms up a little and you want to rap about details. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 06:09

- I picked up the b-sides for Amy Winehouse yesterday -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 05:46 5
  - how is it? I thought about it, but I can't give her my money. I just *can't.* -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 05:51 4
    - This is my feeling as well. It's kind of like my feeling towards Metallica. - JaxSean Jul 27, 06:02 1
      - true: every time I steal a metallica CD, my heart sings a song of joy. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 06:06
    - I hadn't thought about that, but you're right: buying an Amy Winehouse cd is almost directly funding Colombian drug cartels. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 05:53 1
      - maybe I'm a hypocrite because I still give britney my money. but dollars to donuts (whatever the crap this means), I think brit is way less effed up - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 05:56
Realization: as of today, the NL Wildcard team is the Rockies -- nm - prayformojo Jul 27, 05:09 1
- They skipped a year and fell backwards after their surge in 07. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 05:20
So this new bar league poker thing I've done the last month...pretty easy game. 5 tourneys, 2 wins. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 05:07
I've been at work for two hours already and will be here until 8:00 tonight. your job: entertain me. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 04:58 1
- actually, no. if you could just keep me sane, that'd be super. thanks. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 04:58
Drew Bennett has retired from football three days after he signed with the Ravens. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 27, 04:30 1
- Those i nSt. Louis might suggest he actually reitred just after signing his free agent deal here. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 05:46
MLB commissioner Bud Selig is s said to be seriously considering lifting Pete Rose's lifetime suspension from baseball. -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 27, 04:17 22
- He should never be allowed to manage again, but it's a joke that he's not even eligible for the HOF or that he can only walk on the field to be recognized when... - Ender Jul 27, 05:33 2
  - wanna bet? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 10:56
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 05:47
- *goes to Vegas, places a bet he does* -- nm - Pete Rose Jul 27, 04:46
- Worst mistake of Selig's tenure if he does this. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 04:43 17
  - nah, his worst mistake would be not reinstating Rose, but allowing a 'roider into the Hall. - znufrii Jul 27, 05:50 7
    - Baseball history has dozens of guys who looked to gain a performance edge....openly gambling = violating Rule #1. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 05:55 6
      - *shrug* Personally, I put more emphasis on rule-breaking that actually impacts the outcome of a game. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 06:02 5
        
        Right, ultimately what he did didn't affect the game itself. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 06:04 4
        
        At least, there's no evidence that it did. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 06:07 2
        
        And no suggestion that it did either. The bookie wasn't exactly Rose's friend when he ratted on him yet there was no suggestion he bet against the team. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 06:13 1
        
        And I can't imagine that if he had colluded with other teams it wouldn't have come out by now. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 06:14
        
        Really? That's a rather bold statement. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 06:06
  - Really? Is this day and age of cheaters, actual cheaters breaking records in MLB? nm -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 05:48 8
    - Baseball has decades of guys looking for edges. HGH now, greenies in the 60's/70's...etc etc. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 05:56 4
      - I guess I just dispute that that is Rule #1. - TFox Jul 27, 05:58 3
        
        Word. I would think cheating would be the first rule of the game. And tanking a game because you gambled on it would fit that bill. - Jim Jul 27, 06:13 2
        
        Especially when you consider that the HOF didn't even make the rule until the year before he'd have been eligible. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 06:15 1
        
        (Which kind of makes me wonder what all the guff about Shoeless Joe was about, if he wasn't ineligible for the Hall until 1991.) -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 06:16
    - He only got all those hits because because he bet on the games, obviously. Without gambiling, he's a .240 hitter with limited range in the field. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 05:50 2
      - Has nothing to do with his unquestioned baseball talents. Just his ethics about the game. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 05:57
      - Well, since you put it THAT way... :) nm -- nm - Jim Jul 27, 05:53
OBLOO does not want to do PIRT4. - marcel Jul 27, 03:45 7
- Guess they didn't offer to pay him enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 04:45 3
  - A while ago I had heard/read that they weren't planning to use him or Keira Knightley anyway. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 05:42 2
    - At least it'd keep costs down for them (presumably). -- nm - Jelly Jul 27, 05:57 1
      - Definitely - and I think they want to be able to take Capt. Jack's adventures to new places that don't have to involve drippy William. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 05:59
- he's not stupid but i think it's the small head thinking here -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 27, 04:13
- I *love* the first movie - it may be one of my favorite movies ever - it's just so much fun! I really like the rest of the series, too. - kelly Jul 27, 04:13 1
  - I agree with this -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 05:45
wow, things i didn't need to see/know about barbacoa - 'lia Jul 27, 03:01
the problem with living in a house heated by a poorly ventilated, open wood fireplace is that everything you own ends up smelling like a campfire. - mafic Jul 27, 01:50

about to do a system update. Apologies in advance if I hose things ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 22:16 4
- there, done. Seems to be OK, and only 1.5 seconds of downtime ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 22:17 3
  - Which is .5 seconds longer then your up time. - H-Mogul Jul 26, 22:25 2
    - running it? no. chuckling at its rampant stagnancy? yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 22:26 1

- A lot of things that were astounding the first time are like duh obvious now, also, it doesn't matter how long or short, editing is about timing and - zeitgeist Jul 27, 00:14
- Not enough explosions. -- nm - Michael Bay Jul 26, 21:58
- you do not have to see all 100 this week -- nm - peglegpete Jul 26, 21:32
- I know you're just being snarky, but where do people get the idea that "editing" = "taking stuff out"? - Reagen Jul 26, 21:30 5
  - Bah, a REAL editor could get it down to just the credits. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 05:47
  - You're right of course. And I am just being snarky. There are certainly many stories which need more then 2 hours to tell. - Fuzzy Jul 26, 21:43 3
    - Well, it was also made in a time when people had attention spans longer than 91 minutes and didn't depend on Megan Fox bent over a car to sell it. - Trish Jul 27, 03:58
    - Depends on what baseline you're comparing it to - The Maltese Falcon, or The Bourne Identity? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 22:53 1
      - Dune probably has a plot per page and a whole movie per chapter, you could probably make a chapter by chapter serial of LRDRN -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 00:16
