If you do the math, a decent econo new car will probably be cheaper than a used one - zeitgeist Jul 27, 13:12 3
- Maybe, but I think you missed the point of my original question. If the Cash-for-clunkers deal applied to used cars too, I would have been looking at - kelly Jul 27, 13:17 1
  - LIR: the dealers will deal and make you think you are getting some kind of 4,500 gov money somehow -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 13:21
- depends. what if you don't buy it from a dealer? -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:13
Anyone else? When I'm on vacation or a weekend away, I always wake up way too early. Example: this Saturday on the lake, I was awake at 5:30am. -- nm - CQ Jul 27, 13:11 5

- I wake up by 6:30 every morning no matter what. I hate getting old. I don't even have kids. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:12
What I would like to see is an athlete version of Dogtown. - Reagen Jul 27, 13:11

- Very nice deal. Although a tad big for our center. -- nm - Inigo Jul 27, 13:18
- [deleted] 2
  - I think we could make 46" work, but 52" would be hanging over the side. - Inigo Jul 27, 13:20
  - You're right. I forgot. -- nm - David Jul 27, 13:12
- Organic LED is the way to go. Better picture and uses far less energy than LCDs and Plasmas -- nm - Mr. Havens Jul 27, 13:11 6
  - I do want OLED, definitely, but I'd settle for an Aquos LCD -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 13:15
  - [deleted] 4
    - Because that price is going to stay up there forever. You know, like LCD and Plasma has - Mr. Havens Jul 27, 13:17 1
      - So Inigo should wait several years before replacing his broken TV? -- nm - Reagen Jul 27, 13:19
    - seriously. I would have bagged the MBA if I'd known that theatre managers made enough money to spend $25k on a TV. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 13:16 1
      - Uhm, that was 2,500 not 25,000 -- nm - Mr. Havens Jul 27, 13:17

- I want to see this pretty bad. I will almost definitely end up waiting for DVD. - TFox Jul 27, 12:58 13
  - You go to concerts. Why not a movie? -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 13:00 10
    - The concerts seem easier, because I have to do it that specific night. Movies are easy to put off, and put off... - TFox Jul 27, 13:06 9
      - Happens a lot with me too. - Jelly Jul 27, 13:12 1
        
        I always feel once I've waited a couple weekends to see something I might as well just wait until DVD. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 27, 13:14
      - Sadly, I do this all the time -- nm - con_carne Jul 27, 13:09
      - I don't even have kids and I know exactly what you mean. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 13:08 3
        
        Like, I won't miss the film festival screenings next week, because those are one night only... - TFox Jul 27, 13:12 2
        
        I was like physically saddened yesterday when I realized that I can't go to see ira glass at MICA in october because I'll be traveling. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 13:14 1
        
        check out Hampton Beach for shows. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:16
      - sort of like.... you know. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:07 1
        
        yeah, the dishes. -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 13:08
  - Can you do a date night? -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 12:59 1
    - Oh, I can. It just seems like SheFox has been hitting the movies recently, and I've been too busy to go. - TFox Jul 27, 13:05
Vick conditionally reinstated by Goodell -- (link) - Jelly Jul 27, 12:56 16
- I really don't like this guy at all ... and sincerely hope he isn't going to be on any team I like. -- nm - JenBro Jul 27, 12:59
- SO instead of the rumored 4-game suspension...it's a 5 game suspension at most. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:59 1
  - That's basically how I see it. - Jelly Jul 27, 13:01
- "Vick may participate in all team activities except games, and Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19)." - Spawn Jul 27, 12:57 12
  - Goodell has essentially put him on the PUP list, but avoided using that word for obvious reasons. -- nm - Inigo Jul 27, 12:59 11
    - [deleted]
    - I shouldn't have laughed at that, right? -- nm - Diva Jul 27, 13:01
    - I wonder what team signs him cuz he'd be a pretty perfect type player for the Wildcat and those variants. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 13:00 8
      - [deleted] 1
        
        They would have traded us the #1 overall pick and a future #1 for him but... - David Jul 27, 13:12
      - New England is who a friend of his told me. I can see it *and* I think it has to be nonsense. -- nm - David Jul 27, 13:09 5
        
        [deleted]
        
        there is no way. -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 13:10 3
        
        I agree... - Mel Profit Jul 27, 13:16 1
        
        Wildcat=zone read. That's the offense Atlanta was using when he set the rushing record. -- nm - David Jul 27, 13:18
        
        It would cement the Patriots as heels for the ages. -- nm - David Jul 27, 13:13
STIS: The cheapest 1 BRs I'm finding in this area are more than this 2BR, what's the catch? -- (link) - MDH Jul 27, 12:56 13
- Its right above a LOUD NOISY night club with gun fights/drug dealing 24/7 or the elevated train or freeway ramp is 10 feet from your window -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 13:06 3
  - I know the area pretty well, and nothing comes to mind. It's 1.5 blocks from the current place I'm looking -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 13:07 1
    - yeah, the area seems ok. Could be something specific to that building or unit. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:08
  - I was wondering why they'd only show us the place for five minutes at a time. -- nm - Brad Pitt Jul 27, 13:07
- that's very very low for that area -- nm - prayformojo Jul 27, 13:05
- that seems to low. have a look at it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:03
- wait. you're moving? what? when did this happen? (you and dawson? both fired.) -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 12:58 3
  - I live in Gaithersburg, but work in DC, so I'm looking to move into the city -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 13:00 2
    - I know this. but when did this come about? I miss everything anymore. and I even GYB once! we should be closer than this?! -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 13:11 1
      - It's been in the works for a while. And we need to get drinks sometime soon! -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 13:20
- first guess: scam -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:57 2
  - Front for a sex-slave ring - decline Jul 27, 13:09 1
    - I thought - znufrii Jul 27, 13:11
I attended a "Daddy Boot Camp" parenting class on Saturday. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:55 1
- word to the "main advice" -- nm - prayformojo Jul 27, 12:56
Will/Kelly: Link on B2 says the car being purchased MUST be new. -- (link) - TWuG Jul 27, 12:54 6
- Yeah...crap. Thanks. (I found a used car I really liked...would have been a great deal with that c-f-c program.) -- nm - kelly Jul 27, 12:58 2
  - Maybe if you ask Obama really nicely... -- nm - TFox Jul 27, 12:59 1
    - "Down at Barry O's Used Car Emporium get your red hot DeeeTroit steel at CRAYZEE low, low prices!" -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 13:02
- Crap. Knew it was too good to be true. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 12:57 1
  - Yeah, sorry. That link has a list of qualifying new cars. Maybe something on it will be priced right? -- nm - TWuG Jul 27, 13:00
- the idea is to improve fuel efficiency AND boost the auto industry sales. -- nm - Guy Jul 27, 12:55
Trailer for Starz' new series Spartacus: Blood and Sand -- (link) - con_carne Jul 27, 12:54
From the Book of Acts of the Desperate: New-Home Sales Jumped 11% in June From May -- (link) - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 12:54 7
- subscription required. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:59 2
  - and the y-o-y number isn't necessarily concerning, without seeing how it compares to prior months y-o-y sales figures... -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 13:00 1
    - and the number they are basing the 11% off of is the seasonally adjusted annual rate, so it takes month-to-month differences into account. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 27, 13:09
- I'm confused by your tone. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:57 3
  - I'm saying that saying sales are up from May to June is like saying the sky is blue. But saying the sky is blue doesn't make the DOW go up. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 13:14 2
    - Okay, okay. Just asking. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 13:19
    - you're misinterpreting the numbers, then. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 13:16
I'm just glad the power surge (which blew out the video card in my computer) happened this morning, and not right now, in the middle of a thunderstorm -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 12:52 13
- oh, yes, of course. Because now you'll have two chances to replace your video card. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:52 12
  - now I just hope the rain lets up before the baseball game I'm going to tonight. - znufrii Jul 27, 12:54 11
    - at Coney? -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:54 10
      - yup. - znufrii Jul 27, 12:55 9
        
        I don't even like baseball much and I'd totally go to that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:09 3
        
        Single A baseball is kind of hilarious and surreal. - znufrii Jul 27, 13:12 2
        
        just like Coney. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:13 1
        
        on the whole I've found Coney Island to be more sad than hilarious, but yes, surreal. -- nm - znufrii Jul 27, 13:17
        
        Have fun, baseball games are so surreal to me. - Hotkiss Jul 27, 12:58 4
        
        you need to do things that are without him, so not all of your memories are with him. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:10 2
        
        no problem now -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 27, 13:11 1
        
        that's good! -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:12
        
        if you stop talking about him, you're less likely to obsess. this isn't rocket surgery. just banish talking about it from your vocab. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 27, 13:01
I hate ordering from Amazon before my last order even ships. - TFox Jul 27, 12:51 5
- Get Prime. It rocks. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 27, 13:03
- Why is it that so many of the posts I see today on ST bring to mind spanking? -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 12:52 3
  - You too? Damnit, now you and ML both are having freaky fantasies about me. - TFox Jul 27, 12:53
  - When all you have is a paddle ... oh, you'd better BELIEVE that's a paddlin'. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:53 1
    - I believe that it goes without saying that attendance in the Strata Council requires bringing a paddle. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 12:55
Spawn, could you email me about that strata/HOA stuff at the ST address? - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:51 1
- If you have never seen Tron, I can not imagine how you can program a computer. - Spawn Jul 27, 12:53
YEAH!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:50 2

Imagine if we put all this effort into something constructive... like breaking out! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 12:49 4
- They love to perform too much to do that. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:51 3
  - "Dude! Stop trying to escape. The show must go on!" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:51 2
    - This could make a great movie. They all escape, but finally give in and do a number in the middle of the town square, knowing they will be captured. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:56
    - It's the perfect distraction. While the guards watch, a dozen of the most dangerous criminals escape. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 27, 12:56
/junks B2 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:49
I'm 27, and I've never seen Tron. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 12:49 20
- I'm 22 and have never seen Tron. -- nm - MDH Jul 27, 12:54 5
  - I thought you were 40, over weight - Epiphany Jul 27, 12:58 4
    - I'm over 40 and never saw Tron. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:04
    - No, that's me. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 27, 12:59 2
      - How was the birthday festivities? Mr. Ancient? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 13:02 1
        
        Had a fun weekend out of town. Good to get away for the weekend. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 27, 13:12
- Neither have I and I see no reason to see it -- nm - J Jul 27, 12:53 2
  - There isn't really any reason. - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 12:59
  - /me makes new list. The Ultimate List... adds you and bery. -- nm - Spawn Jul 27, 12:54

- SheFox hadn't either. I was shocked. - TFox Jul 27, 12:49 4
  - it's a boy movie. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:05 3
    - No. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 13:07 2
      - it is in my head. -- nm - loosilu Jul 27, 13:08 1
        
        Lots of stuff in your head bears no resemblance to reality. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 27, 13:22

  - I'm sure there are hundreds of movies from the year Bery was born that Bery and others that age haven't seen -- (link) - Mr. Havens Jul 27, 13:11 1
    - I was born in '81. I turn 28 this year. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 27, 13:14
