  - *laughing* -- nm - Loyola Jul 27, 08:09
also, I don't get why I am not on the drunk text from jack list. I mean, seriously. this is insane. I'm insulted. I feel like an afterthought. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 08:05 5

  - I'm still mad. we should drunk page more often. it's imperative. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 08:12
- he seemed sorrier than I've ever seen him about that IM. what exactly did he tell you to do? -- nm - mafic Jul 27, 08:07 1
  - he posted about that? god, I'm dying laughing. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 08:11
- Word. All I get are Yankee texts. I want some more of the fun stuff! -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 08:06
Sort of like relationship advice: if you ask somebody a question, but say it's okay if they don't answer, does that give them permission to lie? -- nm - mara Jul 27, 08:03 6
- no. but reality is different than mary-land. if the question is a yes-or-no with one good reply and one bad one, - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 08:07
- No, that gives them the 'wrong' to not answer. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 08:05
- I can't decide, truthfully. Sort of but not really. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 08:05 1
  - It's OK. You can tell us, but you don't have to. -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 08:06
- I don't think it makes it *ok* for them to lie, but I think you've increased the chance that they will. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 08:04
- No. It gives them permission not to answer. -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 08:04

- Jeebus. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 08:01
- If I were the Jays, I'd be interested in this type of deal. - Subversive Jul 27, 08:01
- That's like the trade in your fantasy league that everyone rushes to veto, just because it's so big they can't wrap their head around it. - TFox Jul 27, 08:00
Repost from last night of our daughter's exploits at the Lake yesterday: - Beaker Jul 27, 07:57 4
- awww -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 08:07

- can someone link me basics here? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 08:01 5
  - i don't have the link but . . . - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 08:06
  - Labels want to charge radio stations for playing the label's music. -- (link) - ty97 Jul 27, 08:04 3
    - Yeah, that'll kill radio AND kill record companies. - TWuG Jul 27, 08:11
    - and Congress has introduced the "Performance Rights Act" -- (link) - ty97 Jul 27, 08:08 1
      - The Senate Judiciary Committee announced it will hold a hearing on the bill on August 4 -- (link) - ty97 Jul 27, 08:09

- I love Lady Gaga -- (link) - Dano Jul 27, 07:57 [Image]
- I've liked several of Katy Perry's songs. But lady Gaga could disappear forever and I'd be fine with it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 27, 07:55 2
  - See, I'm the opposite. At least Lady Gaga is catchy enough to ignore the lyrics. The latest Katy Perry dreck is unlistenable. - Subversive Jul 27, 08:00
  - I really like the video for her Vegas song -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 07:57
- I don't get the artists argument here, seems like they are biting off their nose to spite their face -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 07:53 4
  - since they don't get any royalties for radio play under the current scheme, they're not losing anything -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 07:59 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - that's kind of irrelevant under copyright law -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 27, 08:07
  - I feel it is the wrong time in the economy and radio listening land to come up with this -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 07:53
i've alread dipped into my lunch (crab neptune salad) and i'm trying not to eat the second half. -- nm - zork Jul 27, 07:52 2
- me too -- nm - prayformojo Jul 27, 07:54
- I am ridicilously hungry - Epiphany Jul 27, 07:53

And a thought that occured to me this weekend about (500) Days of Summer (spoilers) - Dano Jul 27, 07:51 17
- No he's not. But Joseph Gordon-Levitt is. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 07:54 1
  - *puts it on the list* -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 07:55
- James Marsden is in 500 Days? Now I *have* to see it -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:52 14
  - He's not. Just the type of characters he's been playing recently. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 07:53 12
    - oh. damn. still want to see it. I'm glad JGL is finally getting recognized -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:56
    - oh. damn. still want to see it. I'm glad JGL is finally getting recognized -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:55 10
      - I loved Brick -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 07:57 1
        
        in my mouth -- nm - con_carne si Jul 27, 07:58
      - Well, this is the 3rd year in the last 4 he's been in great roles. I give up that he'll actually be a star off them - Will Hunting Jul 27, 07:56 7
        
        Followup question: what kind of following does 500 Days have? Is it the Juno/Notebook crowd? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:59 4
        
        What do Juno and The Notebook have to do with each other? Like, at all? -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 08:08 1
        
        I tie both into the Hot Topic shoppers group. They seemed to *adore* both -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 08:10
        
        I don't know what that is, but at the theatre i went ot there were a lot of guys there and they all weren't out on dates with women. - Diva Jul 27, 08:06
        
        Beats me. I don't even know what Juno/Notebook crowd is -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 08:00
        
        he's kind of deliberately avoided that kind of stardom. -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 07:58 1
        
        yep. And he's producing now too. He seems in it for the long haul and doesn't want to be in a place where if he's in a bomb, he can't work again. SMRT -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 08:00
  - (should I tell her that he's not?) -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 07:53
It feels like we're talking to Homer about the tomacco plant. "But what can *I* do?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 07:51
kelly: I have my own fedex account number...*danger* -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 07:50 1

boston.com Love Letter response to Ann who is seeing the guy who won't stop dating other women: - Diva Jul 27, 07:48 7
- I think she is going easy on the guy. -- nm - Beaker Jul 27, 07:55 2
  - although, in fairness, ST advice does slant to the "brutally accurate to the point of not being helpful" sometimes. - TFox Jul 27, 07:59
  - so do I, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At the same time she's smoothing over the writer's fear of making an ultimatum. - Diva Jul 27, 07:58
- Sounds like she hit the nail on the head. -- nm - Loyola Jul 27, 07:52
- yeah, that's a solid response. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 07:51
- i think he's banging dudes one night a week - zork Jul 27, 07:50 1
  - so did I! Isn't that weird? -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 07:51
Subversive, this is what I would think too. - ty97 Jul 27, 07:47 1
- I don't know the specifics of the patches, but my assumption would be you'd want the newest version of that patch that does 'that thing' -- nm - Subversive Jul 27, 07:51

  - *hangs head* .....it's true. - TFox Jul 27, 07:48
My friend is having a gypsy-style wedding in January and I'm going to be a bridesmaid, yay! It's weird that she's younger than me and married... -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:43 8
- what's a gypsy style wedding? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 27, 07:46 7
  - I hate to be PC but up here the word "Gypsy" has become an offensive word...Roma is the correct word for that demographic. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 27, 07:56
  - er, meant gypsy themed. It's just going to be less religiously formal and more festive, I think. not sure yet -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 07:49 2
    - I see, cool. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 27, 07:53
    - ooh, theme weddings. someone do "pirate"! -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 07:50
  - The groom ends up cursed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 07:48
  - what's a wedding? -- nm - lileve Jul 27, 07:47
  - a traditional gypsy wedding involves a child bride (like 12 years old). -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 07:47
