ST Pop Quiz -- (no googling) how many named storms have there been in the first two months of hurricane season this year? -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 09:54 9
- One. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 09:55
- 20 -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 09:55
- none -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:55 3
  - * Atlantic season only -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:55 2
    - correct. could've been more clear on that. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 09:58 1
      - It's pretty fair to assume people are referring to Atlantic, I just wanted to clarify my answer - ty97 Aug 3, 09:59
- 6. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:55

"Unscrupulous car sellers." It's business. They aren't "ripping off" the buyer any more today than a month ago. - TWuG Aug 3, 09:47 11
- Speaking of... How'd that amendment go that was going to reverse the closing of all those dealerships? -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 09:55 3
  - That thing makes me *livid* -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:56 2
    - wait. this is an *amendment*? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 09:59
    - Agreed. But at least we did manage to kill the F-22 amendment. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 09:57
- It's a joke. You know it. And I know it. I just wish Bush had been the one in charge of this program so you'd see the ripoff inherent in the car - Loyola Aug 3, 09:55 2
  - Actually, I don't "see it". I don't feel it's a ripoff unless buyers aren't seeing any of the incentive. And since I'm pro Capitalism, I have no - TWuG Aug 3, 10:02 1
    - I'd get into it with you, but what's the point. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 10:04
- Car Lot Salespeople are worse than lawyers. - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:54
- it is more of a truth in advertising issue - Epiphany Aug 3, 09:50 2
  - I'd believe they may be working around the disabling part. And that does bother me. The 4500 being split between dealer and buyer? Not at all. - TWuG Aug 3, 09:58 1
    - I am the opposite - the $ 4500 ( or any part) should not be profit for the dealerships but I am okay with the scraps - Epiphany Aug 3, 10:00

The Continental flight that hit turbulence flying from Brazil to Texas... did it hit the same band of storms that took down Air France Flight 447? - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 09:46 1
- So Earth has its own red spot! Figuratively speaking. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:50
This is starting to get annoying. The power has gone off four times since 10 PM last night. -- nm - David Aug 3, 09:43 3
- it's probably all your tivos updating info. A power surge in your house could probably cripple the state's power grid. -- nm - Max Aug 3, 09:50
- Pay your bill. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 09:46 1
  - they get more than enough. - Callisto Aug 3, 09:50

Has anyone ever had an "epiphany moment"? A moment when they suddenly realized something that changed their life? - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:35 16
- [deleted]
- *nods* - ty97 Aug 3, 09:49 2
  - That's a little bit sad. I would have expected some relief to come with this realization. *hug* -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 09:58
  - [deleted]
- I've thought about an epiphany moment but back to what you were saying... -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:44 1
  - bow chicka bow bow -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 09:48
- Lots of times, but I'm too lazy to let them change my life. -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 09:41 1
  - Yeah exactly -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 09:45
- The serious answer, that I did not think you really wanted but since others are: Of course. Several. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 09:40
- I have. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 09:39
- not really -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 09:39 2
  - "I love you guys" may count -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:39 1
    - this is true :) -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 09:40
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 09:38
- *stamps "extra gay" on Mop's forehead* -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 09:38
- "ooh that's right, cents *aren't* the same as minutes." -- nm - Max Aug 3, 09:38
so day five of the third Ashes test is winding down, anyone care to guess the outcome? (spoilers) - mafic Aug 3, 09:33
My dilemma of the day. Do I think I can pack everything for my trips into a 22" suitcase? - ty97 Aug 3, 09:25 23
- If you really want to save space, don't pack any socks or underwear, just buy them at Wal Mart when you get to wherever you're going. - Loyola Aug 3, 09:33 19
  - there is no Walmart in Tokyo, AFAIK. Also, in my experience a lot of the time one is chained the hotel. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:34 18
    - I don't even want to know what underwear in Tokyo might look like. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:34 17
      - Hello Kitty. - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:36 1
        
        so sad, but scarily, maybe true -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:39
      - for my trips I carried in *everything* but linens. In the first hotel we were not allowed to leave hotel grounds without police. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:35 14
        
        My suitcase does not need to hold much. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:38 13
        
        sounds like you don't need that many shirts/underwear. wash in sink. My issue is that I bring workout clothes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:39 12
        
        the shorts/t-shirts are for sleeping/working out. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:40 11
        
        (oh, and hell no on washing my undies in the sink) -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:41 6
        
        everyone does. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:41 5
        
        It wouldn't work for me. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:42 4
        
        No way in hell am I scrubbing out my own skidmarks. -- nm - ty97 si Aug 3, 09:44
        
        then your OCD needs the 26" suitcase. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:43 2
        
        I have a 21" case of my parents here. Maybe I'll test pack to see what I can accomplish. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:53
        
        yup -- nm - 'lia Aug 3, 09:52
        
        yeah, I'm talking about work shirts and socks. Use hotel laundry services for shirts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:41 3
        
        I'm on the road for 3 weeks. I bring 6 shirts (5+1 backup) for work, do laundry weekly. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:42 2
        
        but only two pants? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:42 1
        
        *nods* -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:50
- I do fine with a 25" bag for long trips. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:26 2
  - [inserts extra 3 inches here] -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:27 1
    - "extra"? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:31

- I couldn't disagree more. not about the hermaphrodite thing, about the talent. - mafic Aug 3, 09:27 1
  - I understand some people don't enjoy her music. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:33
I used to climb with a guy that was taken hostage and escaped while climbing in a disputed region in uzbekistan. - mafic Aug 3, 09:18 7
- Why am I here? Why are you here? Why is anybody here? I think it was Jean-Paul Sartre who once said... how do you spell spell Sartre? -- nm - Emmett Fitz-Hume Aug 3, 09:20 2
  - I thought Sartre was smarter. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:21 1
    - hell is other people -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 09:22
- "Too dumb to be a spy" covers at least one of the guys arrested in Iran. He's a former local and a current hippie. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:20
- my friend the bee guy was taken hostage somewhere in Central Asia. I want to say Kazakstan. - loosilu Aug 3, 09:19 2
  - so he *was* a spy! -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 09:20 1
    - he's too busy thinking about bees to care about ... almost anything. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:21
How soon will it be before portable BluRay players hit the market. I ask because I won't buy Disney on BluRay at this time so we can tote them along - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:16 7
- Don't most of the Disney Bluray discs come with an additional dvd copy? - kelly Aug 3, 09:46 1
  - I'll have to check that. That would be sweet. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:52
- [deleted]
- Laptops already have Blu-ray. I'm sure I can find you a tablet that has Blu-ray. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:19 3
  - Or you can get this Panasonic portable Blu-ray player. Pay less for a tablet and get more. -- (link) - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:23 2
    - Interesting. I knew ST would come through. We'll have to see what this or next Christmas brings about. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:25 1
      - Wait for the Apple tablet. If they put a drive on it (*IF*), it will surely be Blu-ray. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:29
of course she does....Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to play Wonder Woman.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 3, 09:16 22
- With all of the comic book superhero movies that have been made, I can't believe it's been so hard to get Wonder Woman made. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 09:38
- It's time for Lucy Pinder to step up! She can lose the accent for the movie. But baby, you don't have to lose it for me. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 3, 09:27 1
  - "Wonder Bird" -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 09:28
- Just cause she pays Maxim to let her on their cover, doesn't mean she should be Wonder Woman - Epiphany Aug 3, 09:20
- Wrong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 09:20
- I have to ask...does anyone want a Wonder Woman movie? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:19 13
  - My dad would love it with the original casting. -- nm - Max Aug 3, 09:38
  - Cast Megan Fox, it'll be a hit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:26

    - *subscribes to this newsletter* -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:28

  - If they get a good writer (Joss) and cast (and dress) her correctly, sure. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 09:20
  - Done right, it could work. But just a woman running around in star-spangled panties isn't gonna work for me. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 09:20 5
