Wow. Escalating inquiries that are outside of my payscale instead of grasping for an answer isn't really that hard after all. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:40
Indian for lunch today, I think. -- nm - nubby in NC Aug 4, 08:36 4
- no one at work will go to Indian with me and we have a great Indian buffet in town. :( -- nm - Guy Aug 4, 08:42 1
  - It is hot. Will there be takers when the weather cools down? -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 08:44
- No cook me, kemosabe. -- nm - Tonto Aug 4, 08:39 1
  - L2. I need to teach my niece to say this. - Max Aug 4, 08:41
*reads this board, sighs and walks away* - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:36 15
- Walk away at your own peril, but if you're sitting, put on your seatbelt. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 08:39 3
  - I actually put a seatbelt on my computer chair for just such situations. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:45 2
    - See! See! Qale is *funny*. - musubi Aug 4, 08:50 1
      - "Instead of saying something or someone is funny, why not just laugh?" - Qale Aug 4, 08:59
- If it helps, I'll gladly explain to you again why Neal Huntinton is much smarter than you. (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 08:38 4
  - Can't be much smarter; he works for the Pirates AAA-team. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:39 3
    - Well, to be fair, the bar is being set *really* low. - musubi Aug 4, 08:41 2
      - In 3 years, when 60% of those gusy are busts, and the 40% are in arbitration and the fans are still ignoring them...we'll see how smart he was. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:43 1
        
        Of course, unless you have a magic wand that makes you The Yankees or The Red Sox, you have to make those gambles. - musubi Aug 4, 08:49
- I really didn't expect an event out of that post. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:38 1
  - You knew exactly what you were doing pot-stirrer! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 4, 08:41
- The Great Seat Belt Fight of a few years ago still gives me nightmares. -- nm - nubby in NC Aug 4, 08:37
- what's your favorite band? - colinski Aug 4, 08:36 2
  - The Beatles! - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:38 1
    - yes... they do. - colinski Aug 4, 08:39
it begins.. i've been informed i have a dentist appointment and a doctor's visit next month. - colinski Aug 4, 08:35
I've turned down tickets for UK premiere of The Ugly Truth - did I do the right thing? -- nm - LMS Aug 4, 08:29 3
- Yes. -- nm - kelly Aug 4, 08:33 1
  - If party tickets were included it would have been a different matter though. -- nm - LMS Aug 4, 08:37
- I think yes. - groiny Aug 4, 08:32
LYC: 48 people won this, This would be the best prize if you lined up in time -- (link) - MDH Aug 4, 08:28
So, we're back to maybe thinking about building, since there's nothing on the market we like in Didsbury. What do you guys think of this plan? -- (link) - Subversive Aug 4, 08:28 9
- We also like this one. -- (link) - Subversive Aug 4, 08:52
- nice, but I think I would want to remove bedroom #3 and replace it with either a walk in closet or just expand the master bedroom - decline Aug 4, 08:34 1
  - Well, we won't be able to develop the basement at the beginning, so the 3 bedrooms on the main is a must have. -- nm - Subversive Aug 4, 08:40
- I liked that other one you linked better. - musubi Aug 4, 08:34 4
  - Me too, but it was too expensive. With the cost of building, we're looking at a max size of around 1450 sq feet. -- nm - Subversive Aug 4, 08:41 3
    - Bummer. I had already called dibs on the spare room on that model. - musubi Aug 4, 08:46 2
      - Whoops, forgot the link. (linky) - musubi Aug 4, 08:47 1
        
        Wow, what a goofy design that is. Who builds a house that big with 1 bedroom? -- nm - Subversive Aug 4, 08:50
- that's pretty coolio -- nm - CQ Aug 4, 08:31
Why the public option SUCKS! -- (link) - con_carne Aug 4, 08:21
Dawson needs to study harder. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:19 1
- and grow a spine. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 08:31
Whenever I see pictures of the kidnapped journalists in N Korea, I need to remind myself that they didn't kidnap my old crush from Channel One TV. - TFox Aug 4, 08:18
one of the better series of blog posts I've read in a while: terrifying nixon era children's books. -- (link) - mafic Aug 4, 08:17
A lesson to learn from theat Continental flight: the seat belt sign was on. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:14 46
- maybe the light came up right before! -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:16 45
  - "If you're seated, even if the sign isn't on, wear your seat belt." - mafic Aug 4, 08:18 44
    - everyone must OBEY! -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:25 21
      - by all means, don't wear it. just don't come whining to me when you smash into a bulkhead. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:28 20
        
        I'm just saying, in the middle of a long flight, I have a lot of sympathy. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:29 19
        
        Honestly I have no idea how wearing the seatbelt is a big deal. It's not even noticeable unless you're getting up. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 08:31 18
        
        have you ever worn one for a 12 hour flight? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:32 7
        
        I'm not saying you shouldn't get up and stretch your legs, but while you're seated I don't get how it's anything to have your seatbelt on. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 08:38 1
        
        Flight to London, I think it was off a total of 20 minutes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:46
        
        I don't even notice it, personally. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:35 3
        
        maybe you have no claustrophobia. I don't mind airplanes at all but I do mind being strapped down for hours. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:36 2
        
        I can't get comfortable on airplanes at all. My legs are too long and my shoulders are too wide for the seats. But the seatbelt is by far the least - pmb Aug 4, 08:42
        
        I'm the twitchy'est human ever. I have wide shoulders for most domestic plane rides. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:40
        
        yes. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 08:33
        
        yeah, same here. it's not like you're wearing a shoulder harness. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:32
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        I can only speak for me, but even when I started traveling extensively (weighed in the mid-200s then) the seat belt didn't bug me -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 08:36 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Did you just call loosi fat? (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 08:34 5
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        It. Was. A. Joke. (nm) - musubi Aug 4, 08:39 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I got it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:39
        
        and out of shape, I believe. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:35
    - maybe they just sat down and were going to put their setabelts on! -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:20 21
      - Maybe I shit flowers out of my ass - ty97 Aug 4, 08:21 20
        
        really? I bet that comes in handy on dates. - mafic Aug 4, 08:23 1
        
        "Roses really smell like boo boo." -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:32
        
        I disagree with that. By far. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:22 17
        
        Not during takeoff/landing of course, but other than that, yeah, people get up and move around at will. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:25 16
        
        taxiing after landing too. saw a dude fall over once when the pilot hit the brakes a little hard at the gate. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:26 3
        
        they're driving what, 30mph? yeah, you should be seated. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:26 2
        
        it's usually people trying to gain that extra six seconds on everyone else right as you pull up to the gate. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 08:29 1
        
        I really wish they would show videos of what can go wrong if you ignore. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:35
        
        well shoot, they even tell you not to sit the whole time so you won't get blood clots. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:26 3
        
        I've never heard an airline say you can't get up. What I normally hear is. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:28 2
        
        I know I have read advice in the inflight magazine that says to walk around. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:30 1
        
        Right. They don't require you to stay seated at all times throughout the flight. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:40
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        And that's a personal choice. Airline warns you, you choose to ignore. - ty97 Aug 4, 08:26 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        oh, I know - ty97 Aug 4, 08:29 4
        
        Look, I know I have responsibility if I choose to stand up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:34
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        right. I could just see them angling as "no announcement, or not enough announcements were made" - ty97 Aug 4, 08:38
Medium to pay tribute to Night of the Living Dead by having Arquette in the Dead footage... - Remlik Aug 4, 08:13
Listening to Glenn Beck is kind of like a unfun Coast to Coast AM. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:11 9
- mm.. coast to coast... how are you? -- nm - colinski Aug 4, 08:15 8
  - I'm fine. Everything except things involving boys is fine. How are you? -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:23 7
    - sorry to hear about the boy :( - colinski Aug 4, 08:31
    - [deleted] 5
      - Nope. Ko took his ball(s) and went home a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking forward to Convention Season I guess. - Qale Aug 4, 08:26 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        He changed his mind and decided he didn't want to be mine after all and broke up with me. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 08:30 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        No, I'm okay. I still have his number in my phone so I know if it's him that calls, but I unfriended him from Facebook and all that. It's his loss. - Qale Aug 4, 08:44
Dammit, I've given myself the earworm from hell. This could go on for days. - loosilu Aug 4, 08:11 9
- Yesterday I had "The Hustle" as my earworm. It could always be worse... - kelly Aug 4, 08:22
- which? i love Paul Simon earworms. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 08:18 2
  - look down the board. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:28
  - Late in the Evening runs through quite a bit. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:22
- "There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move" -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 08:17
- You can call me -- nm - Al Aug 4, 08:17
- Try singing - LMS Aug 4, 08:13
- ~Hello lamppost, what'cha knowin'? I've come to watch your flowers growin'~ -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:13 1
  - ain't you go no rhymes for me? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:16

I love when a guy puts 30k of goods on sale for $3 right after you just sold the same item for $5 each. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 08:00
Needle in a haystack time: is there any STer decent at graphic design that might want to help a charity come up with a design for a souvenir pin? - TFox Aug 4, 07:59 4
- when do you need it by? - Hotkiss Aug 4, 08:00 3
  - ummm.... asap, with the caveat that you are doing me a huge favor so i can't ask for asap at all? - TFox Aug 4, 08:02 2
    - my friends are coming in today for a week so i'm not sure how much time i'll have before i go to mexico - Hotkiss Aug 4, 08:03 1
      - i just sent you stuff with details. whatever you might have time to do would be asskickalicious. -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 08:15
Yesterday I biked back and forth on all three east bridges (Williamsburg, Manhattan, and Brooklyn), a big goal of mine now accomplished! - Hotkiss Aug 4, 07:55 13
- What about me? -- nm - 59th Street Bridge Aug 4, 07:56 12
  - oh! i have actually crossed this one before too, but not yesterday -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 4, 07:57 11
    - I guess you need to slow down. You move too fast. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:58
    - I bet it felt pretty groovy, huh? -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 07:58 9
      - all of them are pretty sweet, wish more people know about them -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 4, 07:59 8
        
        Queensboro is probably the ugliest by far. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:00 7
        
        if you're talking strictly East River, yeah, but Outerbridge Crossing on Staten Island gets my money for ugliest bridge in the entire city. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:02 6
        
        I was thinking East River, yes. Outerbridge is bad. So is Goethals. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:03 5
        
        there might be a few of the smaller Harlem River bridges that would give it a run for its money as well, but I'm less familiar with those. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:04 4
        
        also, I had no idea each of the 3 I biked are over a mile long! wow -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 4, 08:08
        
        I don't think they're so bad. From street level you see a lot of New-Deal era stonework. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 4, 08:07
        
        here's a picture from the Manhattan yesterday - Hotkiss Aug 4, 08:05 [Image] 1
        
        nice shot. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 08:06
not sure if these were mentioned re: Ryan O'Neil ... gave cocaine to his 11 year old son, tried to pick up daughter (Tatum) at Farrah's funeral. - zork Aug 4, 07:55 2
- yes. and now his kids think this is the best time to advertise it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:56 1
  - I responded before, but I think it was LIR, but I can completely understand the kids reaction. The Farrah documentary and the related talk show - pmb Aug 4, 08:26
Turducken! -- nm - nubby in NC Aug 4, 07:55
LYC: Building Services no longer provide plastic liners for the trash cans at our desks. - znufrii Aug 4, 07:53 15
- IDC -- nm - zork Aug 4, 07:57 2
  - *I* care! -- nm - Luke Skywalker Aug 4, 08:01 1
    - that's nice ... lefty -- nm - zork Aug 4, 08:06
- use the plastic bags that came with your lunch order -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 4, 07:56 3
  - I get it from the cafeteria. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 07:57 2
    - get your lazy ass up and find another trash can? -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 07:58 1
      - well, yeah. - znufrii Aug 4, 07:59
- We do something similar here. Since I eat @my desk a lot, I can't simply toss in a banana peel. - con_carne Aug 4, 07:56
- Why would you need a liner for desk trash? Good idea. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 07:55 6
  - I (and a lot of other people I would imagine) eat lunch at my desk, so no I have to take any food trash to the pantry. - znufrii Aug 4, 07:56 5
    - That is what I do, as I do not want food rubbish that close to me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 08:01
    - Well they could make it more convenient by saying "No eating at your desk." How about that? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 4, 07:57 2
      - *staves himself through the workday to be able to keep up with ST* -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 07:58 1
        
        staves=starves -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 08:03
    - (I mean, I would imagine a lot of people eat lunch at their own desks, not at mine) -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 07:57
Well, I for one do not like the new header and demand a full refund. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 07:53
Good morning. -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 07:52 7
- Good bye. -- nm - colinski Aug 4, 07:52
- What is so good about it? -- nm - amoxy Aug 4, 07:52 5
  - Coffee. -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 08:05
  - well for one, I woke up to find that I am not a Polar Bear. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 07:53 3
    - oooh. what happened with the car dealership asking for more money? -- nm - colinski Aug 4, 08:15 2
      - I am waiting to hear back..... - groiny Aug 4, 08:31 1
        
        cool, hope there's no hastle.. -- nm - colinski Aug 4, 08:32
