  - that might need to go on the TT wiki... -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 30, 07:41
  - I laughed so hard at that. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 07:39
Quickly: There was no chance that Jeanine punching Kayla during rehearsal was an accient - though Kayla did everything she could to retaliate by - prayformojo Jul 30, 07:34 10 1
- Jeanine is seriously getting hotter by the week, FWIW. -- nm - Subversive Jul 30, 07:46
- Okay. Ahem: TherewasnochancethatJeaninepunchingKayladurin grehearsalwasanaccient! -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 07:41
- I would pay money to see them fight. - Spawn Jul 30, 07:41
- I have no idea what show you're talking about, but that's . . . something. -- nm - pmb Jul 30, 07:40
- To Reagen, re: "that judge". Spawn is exactly right, we fast forward through everything she says. -- nm - Subversive Jul 30, 07:38 4
  - I LOVE her. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 07:42 1
    - Hee, I know. Hey, if you get a chance sometime and you have no other TV to watch, torrent and watch the Aussie SYTYCD. - Subversive Jul 30, 07:49
  - the super-loud and obscenely obnoxious one? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 07:39 1
    - Yes, Mary Murphy is her name. Shouting is her game. FFWD. -- nm - Subversive Jul 30, 07:41
- This sounds like the greatest show in tv history. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:35
Last two will be gone this afternoon. - Spawn Jul 30, 07:32 1
- Wait a minute: you weren't joking. It was really horses?? -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 07:44
~i bust the windows out your car ... and though it didn't mend my broken heart ...~ -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 07:32

- That was dumb. He could have just shut his piehole. IMO the umps made the right decision and didn't hand out warnings at that moment. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 07:31 1
  - Clearly they wanted in known that it was intentional. Otherwise it doesn't serve the purpose they believe it will. - Subversive Jul 30, 07:51
Andie - do you really think it could be loneliness or boredom at 2AM? - kelly Jul 30, 07:25 20
- If it were 3 AM, I would say he must be lonely. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 07:46 1
  - I hate you. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:46
- I can't believe you don't have Will kennel trained yet. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 07:41
- well, maybe. if he's bored during the day and he sees you there sleeping, it could be a way to get attention. - Andie Jul 30, 07:26 16
  - Especially since he doesn't lie 'with' us, but across us. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:27 4
    - hmmm, take him out for a big long exhausting walk after dinner tonight. - Andie Jul 30, 07:29 3
      - Well, the carpet's new and I'm all about the home value. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:29 2
        
        (you wouldn't believe what rug cleaner, a scrubbie sponge and elbow grease will do...) -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 07:32 1
        
        You put elbow grease on the carpet?!?!?!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:33
  - He was doing great for months - he loved his bed (which has turned out to be our papasan chair). - kelly Jul 30, 07:27 10
    - Are you spending more time away from home lately? - TWuG Jul 30, 07:29 9
      - Nope. - kelly Jul 30, 07:34 7
        
        did he used to hang out in his crate on his own? -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 07:36 6
        
        No, never. - kelly Jul 30, 07:37 1
        
        The Murphy Bed. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 07:41
        
        if he did you just took his "room" away from him. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:36 3
        
        He hasn't been in the crate in like 2 months unless strangers were in the house and he was acting up a bit. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:41 2
        
        heh. - kelly Jul 30, 07:44
        
        Not sure what to do. I would talk to the vet or a trainer for some tips. Sounds like he's a momma/pappas boy. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:43
      - Nope. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:30
LYC: Didn't realize Terrence Howard played Jackie Jackson in "The Jacksons" movie - MDH Jul 30, 07:20

    - Redmond will email you in 3..2..1....now as to how exactly this can be done. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:22
- oooo nice -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:18
- [deleted] 4

- pro bono? gratis? -- nm - mara Jul 30, 07:23
Poll: Do you think you can take a joke at your own expense? - Andie Jul 30, 07:14 34
- I'm insecure. I can always deal with it outwardly, but something of it usually bothers me, lingeringly. -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 07:43
- 90% of the time from most or it depends on from whom...the percentages might change at that point. - Mel Profit Jul 30, 07:43
- Totally depends on the joke. I mean, some jokes are A+++ funny, but some jokes are only A- funny. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 07:34
- If it's not mean-spirited, I usually encourage it. I like when people laugh with me or find something hilarious about things I may do innocuously. -- nm - Diva Jul 30, 07:28
- i'm pretty good and rolling with it, if you can do it, it definitely helps you look 'better' as it were. but there are certainly times when i have - Andie Jul 30, 07:27
- Slightly hurt - really I think it depends on the person making the joke and what the joke is about. - kelly Jul 30, 07:26 1
  - I can take jokes from people I am more familiar with much easier than from strangers. - TWuG Jul 30, 07:28
- I tend to feel hurt, but I'm getting better at rolling with it. -- nm - mara Jul 30, 07:25
- I'll go with the 90% yes. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 07:24
- I think it always depends on the nature of the jokes when you make jokes at others expense. For everyone there are subjects that people can laugh off - pmb Jul 30, 07:23
- I can usually roll with it. Certain things no, but usually yes. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 07:21
- totally. I make the jokes before others have a chance to do so, often. kevin told me last summer it was his least favorite thing about me, how I was - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 30, 07:18 10
  - I've always enjoyed your sense of humor, including the times you turn it on yourself. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 30, 07:29
  - don't belittle yourself. you're an awesome person./ -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:19 8
    - we make jokes at the expense of awesome people here all the time, why should she be the exception? -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:20 7
      - *she* shouldn't belittle *herself*. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:24 6
        
        slef-shivving is a time-honored and noble defense mechanism. -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:24 5
        
        so is your technique of screaming "not the face! not the face!" ... ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 07:41 1
        
        have to protect my dashing good looks. -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:46
        
        mocking yourself as to do it before someone else does to me is sign of having no confidence. Only my opinion. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:28 2
        
        I don't think anyone here would regard mandy as having no confidence. - znufrii Jul 30, 07:30 1
        
        Yes. That comment was about the act if it, not her. She's friggin super woman to me. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:32
- it takes a lot to hurt me with words -- nm - Guy Jul 30, 07:16 1
  - Yeah, if you didn't end up leaving here after cockneck, you got thick skin. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:16
- I'm still here. -- nm - lileve Jul 30, 07:16
- Usually. If I have issues with a specific person or topic it can be a LOT harder to roll with. -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 07:15
- Kinda depends on the joke and the jokester. Example...if one of the other fat guys here makes a fat joke on me...no harm no foul. - Jim Jul 30, 07:15 1
  - But usually, I'm pretty good about it. nm - Jim Jul 30, 07:16
- 90% roll with it....when I get 'hurt' by it, it's becuase the jokes have just gotten accumulated to the point it's not fun. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:15 3
  - I agree with this....I left politics my first time because of something like this. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 30, 07:32
  - Exactly -- nm - amoxy Jul 30, 07:22
  - this is a really good point. like, if you call me a tramp often enough, it's still funny to do that but then of course I'm going to overreact some if - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 30, 07:20
- yeah I can. -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:14
- i usually roll with it. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 07:14

Nine ponies down, two to go. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 07:09 20
- By down I hope you mean homes found. -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 07:17 10
  - The scumbag ex-tenant is doing... something with them. - Spawn Jul 30, 07:21 7
    - you'd think if he can't afford the rent, he would realize he probably can't afford the upkeep on a dozen horses as well... - znufrii Jul 30, 07:24 4
      - For many people horses are an emotional attachment. Like a dog or cat. -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 07:26 3
        
        11 of them? -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:35 1
        
        yeah, it can get a little extreme - 'lia Jul 30, 07:40
        
        Yeah, I still remember fondly the first horse I ever hit an exacta with. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:28
    - *fingers crossed* -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 07:21
    - *crosses fingers* -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:21
  - *has fingers crossed* - 'lia Jul 30, 07:19 1
    - Horses are being abandoned EVERYwhere. -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 07:20
- [deleted]
- as in euthanized? -- nm - 'lia Jul 30, 07:12 1
  - No, I am letting them go native. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 07:20
- Didn't see the value in opening Spawn Stables and racing them? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:11
- run out of lube already? -- nm - znufrii Jul 30, 07:11
- Boy, you must be REALLY hungry. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 07:10 2
  - Will flew in. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 07:11 1
    - (laughing.) -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 30, 07:14
- that's just crazy. (poor horsies!) -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 07:10
i would kill somebody, in front of my own mother for a slice of cantaloupe - Guy Jul 30, 07:09 4
- Really dude, farmers market, they're like $3. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 07:12
- npr had a story about cataloupe today. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 07:10
- Wouldn't it be easier (and less messy) to just go buy one? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 07:10 1
  - Ur taught me how to make a shiv out of a bedpost and i got some ink - Guy Jul 30, 07:14
Your Hotties of the day -- (link) - amoxy Jul 30, 07:08 [Image] 1
