This morning on NPR, a guy was saying that there was a moment on the stage at McCain's concession speech that Palin started to go to the mic - emoticripple Nov 6, 08:32 15
- I think there was a moment where she eyed it like she was going to, but I did not see her move towards it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 08:55
- Who or what stopped her? Did she stop herself? Or somebody off stage screaming at her -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 08:42 1
  - She remembered that being runner-up was not going to do her any good. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 08:57

- I don't recall that, but have read that she did have her own speech ready but wasn't allowed to. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 08:38
- I would imagine there is youtube video of the concession speech if you want to check it out yourself. - David Nov 6, 08:34 4
  - I don't think the commentator is going by what was seen on televsion, though. I assume he was there. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 08:39 2
    - Did you hear him? I have to confess that I was playing video-games and so may have slightly misunderstood what he was saying. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 6, 08:41 1
      - No, it just doesn't seem like something the camera would have caught. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 08:42

  - It's not much too scripted and more like The Soup. -- nm - nubby in Bal'm'r Nov 6, 08:35 2

Yum.... two "toga movies" in development - one with Henry Cavill and one with Sam Worthington. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 08:14 5
- I prefer sword and sandal epic :) Greeks didn't wear togas -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 08:15 4
  - Cavill would be Theseus in one movie, Worthington would be Perseus in another. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 08:16 3
    - And both were Greeks. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 08:16 2
      - So in reality they should probably be naked. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 08:22 1

Argh this is driving me nuts. I want to have some photos printed and Costco has the best prices and the formats I want, but I'm not a member - Guigue Nov 6, 08:07 24
- I know they do guest memberships for a day. Try that? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 08:28
- We use Kodakgallery (and yes, Costco is good but I like Kodak better). Ending today you can get 4x6 for 10 cents and you can pick them up at CVS - oblique Nov 6, 08:19 7
  - I'm sure Kodak is good but they don't have a lot of choices for bigger formats... -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:28 5
    - The other site that I've heard recommended by some more discerning photo people I know is Adorama -- (link) - oblique Nov 6, 08:31 4
      - Here's the kicker: I'm in Canada! :) -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:38 2
        
        Just buy the Costco membership. You'll save enough on the photos to probably pay for it and you'd be suprised what things you really can buy in bulk - oblique Nov 6, 08:40 1
        
        cleaning products. Napkins. Pet food. Flowers. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:46
      - My first thought was that they make scratch and sniff! (the now with odorama nm!) -- nm - Amy Nov 6, 08:37
  - I use several, Kodak, our local grocery stores (HEB) and Snapfish...have gotten some good specialty items from snapfish -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 6, 08:23
- Find a friend who has a costco card. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:10 7
  - Or join, the membership pays for itself. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:10 6
    - for me it's not worth it to join. I can't go through anything in bulk. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:16 2
      - I don't really go there for food. I get my cleaning products and what not there. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:31
      - Poor tiny mouth. -- nm - Spawn Nov 6, 08:23
    - Then claim you were dissatisfied and cancel membership with a full refund. -- nm - VMan Nov 6, 08:15
    - he'll end up spending everything he saved on cases of corned beef -- nm - zork Nov 6, 08:12
    - I live in downtown Montreal and I don't have a car, so I'd never go... -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:11

  - I went to Costco for one thing last night (a bag of fried onions). - kelly Nov 6, 08:18 5
    - a ham. heh -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 08:24 4
      - ??? -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 08:27 3
        
        It just funny that you go in for a bag of onions and come out with a whole ham - oblique Nov 6, 08:28 2
        
        "Oh, you know what I totally forgot I need? A HAM!!!" - Cuzzin Todd Nov 6, 08:34
        
        I walked out of there with dinner for the next 3 weeks!! :) -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 08:34
