(500) Days of Summer -- B+ -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 13:15
OMG, Rush said that about Obama? -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 13:05
A Perfect Getaway was meh (though I always like Olyphant). The twist was obvious early on. (spoilers) - Dano Aug 8, 12:53 1
- I *knew* it!! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 13:01
Wipeout makes me smile. - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:31 2
- word. -- nm - Beaker Aug 8, 13:07
- I want to introduce you to a guy I know. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:34
Yeah, I forgot my mowing update. I could mow in 8-10 minute spans. Only got the back done (which is where Logan plays). - Spawn Aug 8, 12:02 21
- hire someone to mow for you. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 12:04 19
  - Eh, I will finish it off before dark. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:09 12
    - You know, a man with 11 horses wouldn't have to mow the lawn. -- nm - TWuG Aug 8, 12:49 4
      - But he would have to watch where he walks. -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:51 3
        
        Speaking of which, we're dog-sitting this weekend for some friends. Oh. My. God. Two dogs make a lot of poop. - Subversive Aug 8, 12:53 2
        
        We added a second dog and I swear the poop quadrupled. Adding the puppy increased it 10 times. - TWuG Aug 8, 12:55 1
        
        We had a boxer, so I'm used to man sized poop. But two Wiemareiners make a lot more! - Subversive Aug 8, 12:58
    - What if a man is so lazy that he builds a robot to do it? - Beryllium Aug 8, 12:19 4
      - They do actually have Roomba-esque mowers available. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 8, 12:21 2
        
        I have seen them in action. With the right yard, they work pretty well. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:25 1
        
        A cat was riding that one too? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:32
      - That works, as well, much like letting your son do it. An achievement vs a relinquishment. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:21
    - bah. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 12:15 1
      - One of the handful of things I agree with my father on. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:18
  - Amy is pretty strong -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 12:06 5
    - She and Logan are with her family (in from Chicago) at the zoo. Remlik is in Chicago at the Con. FML -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:08 4
      - The picture of Lil Spawn napping on the cat is priceless. -- nm - David Aug 8, 13:15
      - At least one of you is inside. ;) - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:10 2
        
        yeah but Remlik is inside getting shot down by booth babes -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 12:12 1
        
        I think he is cheating on me. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:16
- Saw that on B2 was just going to ask if you survived. -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:03
"We're da Bears, why would we have a good QB?" - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:00 4
- I would think it would be more along the lines of "We have a Pro Bowl QB." -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 12:11 3
  - They're the Bears. And I see the word erratic has used for him too. ;) - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:18 2
    - He is far from Vick Level erratic. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:19 1
      - hey, I'm just giving the Bears reason. JJ's headquarters is in Chicago. - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:21
Has ST seen the Josh Hamilton photos up on Deadspin? (tried to link but Deadspin has been slowing my computer lately) -- nm - Beaker Aug 8, 11:46 2
- hey at least it's not him blowing a guy for a Happy Meal -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 11:55
- He needs a tan. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 8, 11:54
Obama's Facebook feed -- (link) - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 11:45 1
- ("Joe Biden pet Heath Shuler" is hilarious) -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 11:46
Kings is forever and really truly dead? -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 8, 11:41 1
- Has been pretty much from the second or third week. -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 11:52
New Xbox update on 8/11. "Party Watch - Catch a show with your friends! Bring your party into Netflix and watch a movie or TV show together." -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 8, 11:36 1
- Mst3K! -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 11:39
Some of you techie people might know what this means ... this is from last night: load average: 31.11, 21.93, 18.02 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 11:29 4
- ok, so the server load jumped during the denial of service attack, and now has gone back to normal. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 11:35 1
  - "jumped" is a bit of an understatement. The highest I'd seen a server go prior to last night was a load avg of 29 in college ... - Beryllium Aug 8, 11:38
- this is from right now: load average: 0.04, 0.19, 0.24 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 11:30 1
  - Holy crap ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 12:50
Weird...The sweet tea that I left in my cup last night had mold on it this morning. I wonder why that happened. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:25 15
- that's the same stuff they use to grow penicillin and e'coli colonies in petrie dishes -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 12:32
- the universe is telling you to stop drinking f'ing sweet tea -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 11:36 2
  - I quit drinking soda and switched to homemade sweet tea. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:44 1
    - i'd rather die drinking soda than live drinking sweet tea -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 11:51
- sweet tea might as well be agar. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 11:28
- sugar -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 11:25 9
  - Seems rather quick but that has to be the reason. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:26 8
    - when did you make it? -- nm - loosilu Aug 8, 11:33 7
      - I make a half gallon every day or two. I see it if I leave some in a cup for a couple of days but not usually overnight. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:37 6
        
        You need to wash out the bottle you make it in better? -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 11:53 5
        
        I was thinking the cup was the culprit. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:07 2
        
        I thought that too but it's a stainless steel cup from Thermos, not even a year old. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:09 1
        
        Hmm. You must be right about the container, then. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:27
        
        I just gave it a good cleaning. I think I might have just poured the last batch right into the container without cleaning it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:06 1
        
        That'd do it. -- nm - the liioulu with iced tea Aug 8, 12:20
Hmmm, I can't join the Ika alliance. It says "This alliance does not have enough free diplomacy points" - Inigo Aug 8, 11:16 11
- No, the leader needs to. org or com? -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:18
- No, it means Mel needs to do some upgrading before he can add anyone else to the alliance. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:18 9
  - We have a couple inactives he may ditch. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:19 6
    - Yep...we're in the process of removing the inactive(s). - Mel Profit Aug 8, 11:45
    - That'll help since I think it's rather expensive for him to upgrade. Though I hate losing alliance members. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:20 4
      - Not really losing, though. I will trade an inactive for an active any day. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:59 3
        
        Good point We seem to be able to maintain our numbers. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:06 2
        
        Yeah, I always laugh. 78 members of the Imperium vs 30 members of the Alliance. - Spawn Aug 8, 12:15 1
        
        Not at all. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:24
  - Hmmm, I think I picked the wrong weekend to call Mel a lightweight, and talk smack about Big Papi... -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 11:19 1
    - He;ll just pillage you before admitting you into the alliance. It's all good. :-P -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:21
breaking news - helicopter and small plane collide over Hudson River -- (link) - Epiphany Aug 8, 11:13 3
- CNN is slow today, it happened hours ago. Initially the reports were that everyone survived but it appears one person has died. So sad. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 11:16 2
  - It appears to be more tragic than I thought. I wonder how this happened. It's a beautiful day today, clear skies. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 12:39 1
    - Amazing that anyone survives something like that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:41
Odd..since I unplugged my laptop it's been very sluggish. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 8, 11:00 5
- [deleted] 4
  - looking into that now...thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 8, 11:03 2
    - It's probably in power saver mode -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 11:04 1
      - strange...it's still in Balanced mode which is what I tink I set it at awhile ago, - Mel Profit Aug 8, 11:09
  - most do. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 11:01
LYC: I just replaced all my fluorescent tube lights without going to the ER. -- nm - loosilu Aug 8, 10:51 8
- You are going to make someone a wonderful husband someday... -- nm - BAD Aug 8, 10:56 5
  - I certainly need a wife. -- nm - loosilu Aug 8, 10:58 4
    - and 2 maids :) -- nm - peglegpete Aug 8, 11:07 3
      - And a houseboy. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 11:08 2
        
        maybe three maids. -- nm - loosilu Aug 8, 11:14 1
        
        handmaidens? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 11:42
- DON HOMER! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 10:56 1
  - I was so traumatized the last time, I just haven't changed bulbs. Finally, this week there was no longer any light in the kitchen or bathroom. - loosilu Aug 8, 10:57
i'm sorry, but the argument that i only used supplements, and therefore I have no idea why I failed the drug test - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:39 28
- believing they didn't know what they were doing is as stupid as looking at their bodies and thinking it was natural -- nm - Stewie Aug 8, 11:03
- the second thing you mention is what didn't happen. - Mel Profit Aug 8, 10:44 22
  - Imo, he tooks steroids. He just found a loophole to say it might not have been him. - Inigo Aug 8, 10:47 4
    - they just need to release the damm list. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:49 3
      - They can't. It's s a sealed document from a grand jury. Anytime a name gets released someone is breaking the law. - Inigo Aug 8, 10:54 1
        
        and they could petition the judge to do that. - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:57
      - I agree but they're all going to claim to be one the eight that weren't on the juice. Such a joke what happened today. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 10:51
  - ok. so he says he never took roids, but took supplements, and admits to supplements? - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:45 16
    - He's admitted to ignorance that the supplements he took had a band substance. - Mel Profit Aug 8, 10:47 15
      - ok, so he was cheating, he just isnt now. so he still cheated. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:48 14
        
        If that's how you want to frame it...sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 8, 10:50 13
        
        You do realize that if this information about 8 not testing positive for steroids had come out 6 months ago... - Inigo Aug 8, 10:52 1
        
        *ding* How nice for him the union said what they did today. -- nm - Krusty Aug 8, 10:53
        
        how else would one frame it? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:51 10
        
        that he took legal over the counter supplements, which either could have caused a false positive or he was one of the people who didn't test positive - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:53 9
        
        Even if he was one of the 8, it also could mean that he took an illegal sustance not classified as steroids. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 10:56 4
        
        or it could have been a legal one not classified as steroids, which is what he's saying -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:59 3
        
        I'd bet these tests were very solid. it took the union years to agree to any testing. - Inigo Aug 8, 11:05 2
        
        or the union finally agreed to them because they were full of holes. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 11:08 1
        
        Fehr had been saying that drug testing was against their rights. He played that card until it couldn't be played anymore. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 11:10
        
        the false positives were for steriods, that doesnt mean that those players were not positive for another preformance enhacing drug. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:56 3
        
        MLB and the union just said today that substances other than steroids (including legal ones) could have caused a positive result -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:58 2
        
        That's a caveat with any drug test. It's a pretty small chance though. - Inigo Aug 8, 11:02
        
        sure, but they also said they dont know who the 8 were or what caused the false positive. so basically, ortiz is using a loophole to not answer. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 11:00
- what rules? there were no rules. McGwire had andro sitting in his locker after the games -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:41 3
  - That was before 2003 and in 2003 they all knew the testing was coming. If they failed the first test they were told - Krusty Aug 8, 10:46
  - At the time of drug tests there were rules. They even told them to stop taking supplements during the second test. - Inigo Aug 8, 10:44
  - i'm pretty sure the mlb has had a ban of performance enhancing drugs for a decade or more. - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:44
so, if i asked st how st prepares and cooks ribs, what would st say? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 8, 10:33 9
- marinate over night, wrap in foil and bake over coals for...ever, direct heat grill to final char -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 10:44
- Slow cooker or low-temp roast in the oven for about 6-8 hours. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 10:42 5
  - You should be packing!! Not posting. -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 10:43 4
    - I'm doing both! - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 10:57 3
      - I am cooking party goods!! Hey, where can I get some Hawaiian leis? The plastic ones. -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 11:00 2
        
        I can think of a couple places ... - ReluctantCynic Aug 8, 11:08 1
        
        Thanks. I will call first. -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 11:12
- Plane tickets to "the south" -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 8, 10:38
- Flamethrower -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 10:37
I suck at googling. I can't find any reviews of the Samsonite 900 Series suitcases -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 10:01 2
- Doesn't EW have a "Luggage" section? Between "Movies" and "TV" I think. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 8, 10:29 1
  - Why would it come there? Everyone knows EW is alphabetical, dummy. - Subversive Aug 8, 10:32
Qale: I thought Anonymous was an actual organization of some sort ... what makes you think it was "them"? - Beryllium Aug 8, 09:59 1
- (And I did invoke the dreaded, erm, Sign of the 4 yesterday ... oops) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 10:00
LIR Redmond - I usually buy two regular bell peppers and chop 'em up. Doesn't matter what color, but I think the orange and yellow ones are sweeter - kelly Aug 8, 09:58 2
- Also - kelly Aug 8, 10:03 1
  - Thx -- nm - Redmond Aug 8, 10:09
An error occurred while processing this Papi press conference request -- nm - kelly Aug 8, 09:56 7
- not all 104 players whose names are on the 2003 list actually tested positive for steroids -- (link) - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:29 6
  - As I said before, it's very convenient for him that the league releases this info right before he gives his press conference. - Krusty Aug 8, 10:43
  - If this ends up being Papi excuse, it -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 10:33 4
    - ...it will make me lose any respect I had left for him. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 10:34 3
      - that he didn't actually test positive for steroids but ended up on the list? -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 8, 10:36 2
        
        Yeah, I'm confused. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 10:38
        
        It's a banned performance enhancing drug test. Not exclusively steroids. -- nm - Inigo Aug 8, 10:38
Helicopter and Small Plane collide over the Hudson. - Krusty Aug 8, 09:56
