  - the beat where - Reagen Aug 13, 12:59 2

- Probably when I was... 10ish. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:55
- Interesting responses here. - Spawn Aug 13, 12:54 12

    - any tats? -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:58
    - No 10 years. Boarding school. -- nm - Loyola Aug 13, 12:57
    - Oh, so did I. - Spawn Aug 13, 12:56 5
      - I was in the bottom one and was able to kick my brother out of the top so that he'd fall on the floor. Pretty dangerous now that I think about it. -- nm - Loyola Aug 13, 12:58 4
        
        Oh, my sister would come in at times. She wa on the top bunk one night rocking the bed and scarig me. - Spawn Aug 13, 13:00 3
        
        sounds like Step Brothers -- nm - Epiphany Aug 13, 13:04 1
        
        heh. It scared her more than it scared me. - Spawn Aug 13, 13:09
        
        Ha, good times. -- nm - Loyola Aug 13, 13:02
- 14 -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:53
- actually, It would've been 14 for me, now that I think about it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 13, 12:53

- Always. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 12:50 2
  - Uh... you don't like to sleep with girls? -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:51 1
    - Fair point. Let me answer again. I first had the room to myself at birth. - pmb Aug 13, 12:55

"We've all made mistakes while you've been away" -- nm - Subversive Aug 13, 12:41 33
- What is this? How did I miss it? Can I get a link? -- nm - mara Aug 13, 12:51 1
  - nmbl -- (link) - con_carne Aug 13, 12:53 [youtube]
- downer alert - ty97 Aug 13, 12:48 10
  - It could be a fake, but it has that feel of truth about it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:51 4
    - i think so too. the blank emails. the back and forth swings. girls are crazy, they are. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 12:53 3
      - There's a new relationship book coming out called "Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid." -- (link) - mara Aug 13, 12:56 1
        
        My favorite Vonnegut quote: "all men are jerks, all women are psychotic." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:58
      - yeah, if he faked it, the blank emails checking for bounces are an extremely clever touch. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:55
  - I can't decide if it's an Epic FML win, or an Epic TFLN win -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:50
  - i don't. - Andie Aug 13, 12:50 2
    - It's not the e-mails that have me doubting it. I doubt the basis for the whole thing. - ty97 Aug 13, 12:54 1
      - yeah, her stupidity is outrageous if true. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 12:56
  - I agree. -- nm - znufrii Aug 13, 12:49
- That jumped out at me too. We? All? *snork* -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:43 12
  - I like that she arbitrarily determined that five days without contact was cheating time. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:45 11
    - to be (a little) fair, if my boyfriend disappeared for 5 days, and i was sure he wasn't dead, i'd be *pissed*. however, i would in fact KNOW if my - Andie Aug 13, 12:47 9
      - I wouldn't go assuming someone wasn't dead until someone else verified it. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:55 2
        
        That's the other part that got me. There didn't seem to be any point at which she was worried about him. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 13:01 1
        
        well, she had that whole 'i heard you in the background!' thing. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 13:02
      - Doesn't the whole thing feel like a cautionary tale on obsession for hotkiss? -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:49 1
        
        heh, do we know if she's seen it? -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 12:51
      - That part is stunning. But the wild emotional swings are . . . something too. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 12:48 3
        
        along the lines of the steps of mourning, though, right? confusion, anger, guilt, begging, etc -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:57
        
        Yeah, that was what got me as well. -- nm - Subversive Aug 13, 12:55
        
        1) When you date a passionate person... -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:52
    - that guy was listening. he clearly rocked her world. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:47
- "I forgive you, and I ask the same of you." -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:42
- "If you love me, you'll delete all my emails!!!" -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:41 5
  - I would love to have seen her in the moments after she was told he was out of the country. - pmb Aug 13, 12:45 2
    - Seriously, doesn't this HAVE to be a movie? -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:46 1
      - Starring Anna Faris. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 13:01
  - "We have to talk." -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 12:43 1
    - "We were really good together." *later* "You were just too boring." - David Aug 13, 12:44
Also, if I hear the word "strawman" one more time today, I'm going to start lobbing chairs out of windows. - TFox Aug 13, 12:41 4
- I don't believe this. Sounds like a misinformative rumor and partisan rhetoric. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:45
- That statement sounds like a slippery slope. Surely someone will now challenge you? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:42 1
  - only if someone on ST can make me hear it. i think if I see it, i'll be cool. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:44
- Why do you hate me so? -- nm - The Scarecrow Aug 13, 12:42
Covington Cat - Julie and Julia - spoilerish - JenBro Aug 13, 12:40 2
- Well, her friend did call her (spoil) - CovingtonCat Aug 13, 12:47 1
  - see that's what I thought too ... - JenBro Aug 13, 13:15
I want to thank all of you little munchkins who have been gushing about Better Off Ted. I watched the first episode last night, and it was good. - Loyola Aug 13, 12:39
Too proud to make up, you're ready to break up. Too late you wake up and love walks out that door. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:38 3
- And then you sense a change, nothing feels the same. All your dreams are strange. Love comes walking in. -- nm - BB Aug 13, 12:43
- I felt a little bait-and-switched from Vermin's "Olivia" link earlier. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:41 1
  - (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:49
mmMMmm, coffee -- nm - mara Aug 13, 12:37
Stephen: yeah, she eats tomato paste and sauce, etc. - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:36 4
- she's only been out for a day or two, and you're feeding her dishes with mushroom soup?! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:37 3
  - Oh, this is about the wife. Yeah. I try to avoid solid tomatoes where possible, but I don't find them inedible. Avacados are strange, but also not - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:39 2
    - (Fiancee does avoid tomatos a lot, like removing them from burgers and stuff. I only remove green tomatoes from burgers.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:39 1
      - Yeah, I don't generally mind because she picks off all this stuff and gives it to me! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:43
It's tough to get put on the clock when you're making everything. -- nm - Tiger Woods Aug 13, 12:36 7
- The best part of that is that they were the last group. What, were they worried that the 4:30 McDougall foursome was going to get held up? -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:37 6
  - They didn't want to interfere with the must see 60 minutes rerun that was scheduled. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 12:40 1
    - Is it the one where Andy Rooney acts like a crotchety old man? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:44
  - Well, the idea is that the person who teed off at 10AM would be put on the clock, so the last group should too. - BB Aug 13, 12:40 3
    - Why? There was no one behind them. Putting them on the clock serves no purpose when there's no-one behind them. -- nm - Loyola Aug 13, 12:44 1
      - Don't tell me, tell the PGA :p - BB Aug 13, 12:48
    - Yeah, it's consistently ignored by everyone. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:42
Around here, the only phrase I know of that implies lazyness is "Island Time". :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:35 1
- things definitely took time to get done when we were in the Bahamas (although you usually get a song and dance at the same time). -- nm - zork Aug 13, 12:38
~It's like raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain...~ -- nm - znufrii Aug 13, 12:35
"I'm goin' ta pick a fight." -- nm - That guy in Braveheart Aug 13, 12:34
Phone: "We need a 3 bedroom for under $700/month." - Spawn Aug 13, 12:33 16
- I see my brother is taking my mom's "Get out of the house" thing seriously. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 13, 12:43 1
  - *laughins* - kelly Aug 13, 12:50
- making kids bunk together is part of growing up.. -- nm - colinski Aug 13, 12:40 1
  - When my wife talks about when we'll need to upgrade from our 3-BR, I always remind her... - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 12:46
- That won't even get you a studio anywhere near DC -- nm - MDH Aug 13, 12:38 4
  - That's what I'm paying for my bachelor unit just off of Robertson. - con_carne Aug 13, 12:41 1
    - What I might be paying for a BR in a 2BR/1BA is 1400 - MDH Aug 13, 12:42
  - Yeah, plus they are gonna need a 4 bedroom before long. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:39
  - You might be able to find a room out in Brownsville or Canarsie for that much here. -- nm - znufrii Aug 13, 12:39
- WADC -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:37 2
  - Daaaaaaamn. *golf clap* -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:40
  - Hahahaha! -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 12:39
- I need $1 million, in small, unmarked bills... -- nm - BB Aug 13, 12:37
- "Oh, I see the problem. You're having children before you can afford them. Don't do that. Ta-ta!" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 12:36
- At least having babies don't cost nothin'! -- nm - mara Aug 13, 12:35
- Man, that phone needs some condoms. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 12:35
