Question: what would be the correct English spelling for "Barbara". Barbarah? Or is the h-less version allright? -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 5, 11:48 5
- Barbara. Although Ms. Streisand is "Barbra". -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 11:50
- Most of the time, Barbara. Striesand? Barbra. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 11:50
- never an H. Never saw it with an H in my life. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:49 2
  - I guess my latin self insists on conjuring up "H"s from nowhere when saying stuff in English... -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 5, 11:54 1
    - Hee! I had a Belgian housemate in grad school who gleefully told us he got a job with company called Hair Products. - loosilu Nov 5, 11:56

  - We still need our straw men (and women) in Congress to point at and say "See! They're crazy!" -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 11:49

- as a former interface designer, I think that thing is a nightmare that's designed to maximize possible errors, and Gore totally had that district. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:41
- okay, I'll admit that we didn't have anything nearly that cool at our party - znufrii Nov 5, 11:40
this was creepy. yesterday i pulled up google maps and, as the first search, i put in my first and last names - prayformojo Nov 5, 11:38 6

  - TTPOW. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:46 2
    - considering how fast TT rolls, it will probably still be on there next week -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:47 1
      - This is TT to me. I dont' like typing ST. Feels wrong. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:48
  - Heh. -- nm - nubby Nov 5, 11:41

        I LOVE LAMP. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:47
I think I've been Joel Zumaya'ed......played a few hours of Rock Band and my wrist tendons are killing me. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:33 10
- Hee! At least with RB2 she can keep on the tour without you, just using her pre-created fill in players. That's an awesome improvement in the game. - Trish Nov 5, 11:45 1
  - Lalalalalalalla not reading the IM lalalalalalalala -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:46
- Yeah, sure, "Rock Band". -- nm - nubby Nov 5, 11:40 1
  - heh. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 11:42

  - I've always had problems, I tend to curl up when sleeping and sometimes my wrist gets caught, but damn, this hurts. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:38

- Sheesh, if "They don't even believe in marriage, for the most part", then what's the big hairy deal? - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:39 8

    - I don't think integration of buses was about public transportation -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:46 5
      - It wasn't? -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:48 4
        
        I mean, it wasn't about blacks who want to ride busses, but about race -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:49 3
        
        It was about equality, just like the right to marry. It's about being treated equally. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:52 2
        
        I guess my point was, even though blacks may not ride public transportation, they were still behind the issue as a whole -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:53 1
        
        maybe not the best example, since urban populations rely heavily on buses. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:55
    - You said "most". How moved can I be when the majority of said minority doesn't care? - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:46
- I think alot of it has to do with who is the face of the issue. While you have gay pride parades with outlandish acts, you will not win the hearts - oblique Nov 5, 11:36 15
  - if that's your only known exposure to them than of course you're going to feel a certain way... - Mel Profit Nov 5, 11:56
  - I don't disagree about the prevailing imagery, but there are lots of articulate, intelligent gay *and* heterosexual people who have spoke out - musubi Nov 5, 11:40
  - [deleted] 10
    - What do you think a "Black Pride" parade would do? - oblique Nov 5, 11:43 6
      - I've seen many of them in DC. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:54
      - Pretty sure we have one, every MLK day. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:50 1
        
        Black Panther then. - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:53
      - [deleted] 2
        
        I think a well organized gay march for marriage rights (without the boas, dildos, and other stuff) could be effective if oraganized like the - oblique Nov 5, 11:49 1
        
        One the one hand they serve as a rallying point for a minority community, on the other hand it serves to reinforce the other-ness of that community -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 11:50
    - never been to one -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 11:41 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I'm way gayer on ST than I am in real life. -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 11:51

- Take 5 -- nm - Epiphany Nov 5, 11:32 1
  - those 3 are what I have in my drawers. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 11:34
- Milky Way then. Baby Ruth is gross -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:32 1
  - ok. wait...what? *chalks kilbo's response as ineligible* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 11:33
oooh...that big geek who fixes our copy/printer/faxes is back. His pants are pulled up to his chest and he's got - Diva Nov 5, 11:27
I would love to point out at the risk of pissing people off. seeing allof your happy election posts. four years ago my happy Bush was re elected - Redmond Nov 5, 11:26 53
- That's because you're wrong and we're right. - Mop Nov 5, 11:41
- [deleted] 5
  - in 04, the slightest amount of pleasure expressed set off choruses of complaints. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:35 4
    - it may not be fair, but it's sheer numbers. you don't walk into the opposing teams bar after beating them and gloat about the win. - Andie Nov 5, 11:40 3
      - Word. When you're in the home stadium, you high five your friends and talk about how the Cubs suck. When you're in Wrigley, you congratulate the - Jim Nov 5, 11:42
      - It wasn't even gloating, though. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:41 1
        
        It doesn't take much to feel like gloating, when your heart has been broken. - musubi Nov 5, 11:54
- [deleted] 1
  - Yup. -- nm - David Nov 5, 11:37
- fair point - but also as far as it goes with you personally, I think you've really improved the way you post - crash davis Nov 5, 11:32 20
  - thx. i try to not be so abbrasive, and yet not compomise on my views. - Redmond Nov 5, 11:37 6
    - and I think you've really succeeded -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:38 5
      - I also notice the same in David and Trish -- nm - Redmond Nov 5, 11:41 4
        
        eh, you've just become a big old squishy teddy bear. - Trish Nov 5, 11:51
        
        you know what's funny? I don't remember ever having an argument with David, or even having the desire to do so. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:43 2
        
        Once you go through 1 or 2, you kinda block them all out....you know that fuzzy part of 2003? Yep. David. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:45 1
        
        I just can't get worked up about anything he says. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:46
  - Have I improved? (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:33 11
    - like a .223 batter hitting .231...nm - x Nov 5, 11:37 2
      - So long as I maintain my .400 OBP, ba is meaningless. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 11:42
      - awesome :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 11:39
    - with you the problem was not style or temperment, but just plain wrongness on a range of subjects - Tombstone, the DH, etc etc - crash davis Nov 5, 11:36
    - And now to be serious: I think I've improved a lot, and it really bothers me that many people treat me as if I have not. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:34 6
      - i see you treated better by most, with some exceptions -- nm - Redmond Nov 5, 11:39 3
        
        the exceptions seem determined to make up for the rest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:42 2
        
        I see the violins are still in tune. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:48 1
        
        omg, this crap again. Maybe I should tell you that you're imagining the Sarah bashing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:51
      - If I haven't said it before, I do think you've improved. - musubi Nov 5, 11:37 1
        
        thanks. I wish everyone was like you. and I think you've improved too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:40
  - Redmond for most improved poster '08! -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:32
- Wait...didn't you vote for Obama? Aren't you one of the folks who is happy he won? - kelly Nov 5, 11:31 7
  - His girlfriend did. He didn't. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:32 2
    - yes he did. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:32

    - I'd actually like to hear what Redmond has to say about this. - kelly Nov 5, 11:37 1
      - I voted for the change candidate that happened to be Obama this year. - Redmond Nov 5, 11:44
  - Buyer's Remorse? -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 11:31

- Gotta know the room. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 11:28 4

    - [deleted]
    - I've been trying to cut back on it, but it's hard. I wish her success in her future endeavours. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:43
    - I was annoyed yesterday at the Will bashing, especially since he was not here for most of it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:36

  - [deleted] 4
    - Just sayin', it's true. I'm just one of the more centrist republicans and I voted for Obama this time around -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:30 3
      - I voted for Kerry and Obama, and I thought the whining last time was crap. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:31 2
        
        Last time, Bush won fair and square. Unfortunate, but true. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 11:33 1
        
        absolutely. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 11:33
Anyone here ever seen Caligula? How did they get these actors in this? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 11:26 9
- Yeah, I've seen it. -- nm - kelly Nov 5, 11:29 2
  - I saw part of it. Couldn't make it the whole way through. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 11:30 1
    - I turned it off after a while, too. It really was horrible. -- nm - kelly Nov 5, 11:31
- I either saw that or I, Claudius in Latin class, I can't remember which - oblique Nov 5, 11:27 3

    - High School -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 11:30 1
      - Could have been an edited version of Caligula, I suppose, but I'll bet it was a few hours of I, Claudius. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 11:33
