- See that guy at the top of the tallest tower, shouting this to the world? Yeah, that's me. AAARRRGHHHH!!! -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 16:39
- If nothing had been done? 0%. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 16:38 1
  - I have to try that at my next performance review. - Dr.Vermin Aug 13, 16:42
- That isn't his fault. -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:34 3
  - Actually it is. If you see my example below. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:37 2
    - You're example doesn't really prove your point. - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:45 1
      - Aack. You are going to force me to search BB's and find the deal my family member got. I really just wanted to be lazy -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:50
- Not every person in foreclosure should get to keep their house. -- nm - TFox Aug 13, 16:33 11
  - My biggest issue is people that are paying their mortgage but struggling qualify for ZERO of the government low interest programs. - Redmond Aug 13, 16:37 10
    - [deleted] 3
      - Unemployment has a cut off. If it was open ended then your example would work better. These people are getting deals for the rest of the 30yr loan. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:43 2

        And they have done news story upon news story here about people using it as a vacation. - Redmond Aug 13, 16:51
    - The disincentive is that your credit is ruined for seven years. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 16:39 5
      - [deleted]
      - For 50K in loan principle wiped off the books forever, and a 2% 5 year fixed then 5.25% 25 year fixed. I bet you save more over the long run. - Redmond Aug 13, 16:42 2
        
        Then by all means. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 16:43 1
        
        I am in all honestly thinking about it. I have consulted with several people in the business to see all the plus and minuses. - Redmond Aug 13, 16:45
      - Unless the credit market is re-regulated, this - in some cases - means nothing -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 13, 16:41
- that is such a depressing statistic -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 16:33
I notice ESPN's NFL Truth and Rumors has been updated to say Adam Schefter's Truth and Rumors. - David, Nailin' It Aug 13, 16:22
Awake and at home now - and SORE -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 13, 16:16 5

  - Tylenol 3 here - and amusingly, Megan already has her own T3 Rx for her ear infection this morning -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 13, 16:22 3
    - oh and P.S. I get swimmer's ear - for infections I swear by just a swab dipped in apple cider vinegar - gently - a couple times a day. -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 16:26
    - at least your answers to all the ST food polls will be easy - Tylenol 3 with ______ ( insert drink of choice ) -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 16:24 1

- Come on, I love interviews. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 16:13 9
  - [deleted] 8
    - Hence the "come on". -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 16:20
    - I'm with you. Rarely are they enjoyable. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 16:16 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        And so many of them are so repetative and predictable. Occassionally you will see someone where you see something more. - pmb Aug 13, 16:30
        
        My awesomeness is unfortunately intangible. It never comes across in interviews. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 16:25
        
        Well...first you can cross most of your interns of your list. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:20

This is kind of screwed up: Chinese villagers hold tourists hostage after bus runs over scooter -- (link) - Reagen Aug 13, 16:11
"Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying." -- (link) - Dr.Vermin. Aug 13, 16:06
I find this weird. Woman dies from smoking, husband sues, jury finds the wife is mostly at fault, still awards husband $1.9M. -- (link) - TFox Aug 13, 16:03 5
- I would be fascinated to know how they come up with those percentages. -- nm - Dr.Vermin. Aug 13, 16:08
- nothing surprises me with a jury - they would give the bailiff who brings them doughnuts in the am, a million if they could - Epiphany Aug 13, 16:07
- [deleted] 1
  - Florida is pure comparative, like Cali, like NY - Epiphany Aug 13, 16:08
- She started at an age when smoking was advertised as safe and even healthful. -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:06
Wow...black man pretends to be a white supremacist to make a death threat against another black student... - Stephen Aug 13, 16:02 8
- [deleted]
- Hmm...they're going to have a fun time trying to figure out if it's a hate crime or not. -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:04 6
  - It's not. Which is why I hate, hate crime legislation. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:20 5
    - [deleted] 3
      - I think a threat is a threat. It should be the same punishment no matter the persons race. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:24 2

        I wrote it in lawyer speak. I read it again, and it does say what I meant it to say. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 16:27
    - It might depend on how it's written in that state. -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 16:22
I had *two* Costco polish sausages for lunch. I can't tell if I feel more like napping or barfing. -- nm - Dr.Vermin. Aug 13, 15:58 3
- Either way, you can rest assured that you completely deserve it - con_carne Aug 13, 16:03
- Why not do both?! -- nm - Stephen Aug 13, 16:02
- Interestingly, your daughter is probably having the same conundrum right now :) -- nm - ty97 Aug 13, 15:59 1
It's 2009, so I guess that means I gotta catch up to my 2007 PS2 games! I just pulled the trigger on that GHWT bundle deal I posted earlier. LYC. -- (link) - con_carne Aug 13, 15:54 1
- Just pre-ordered GH5 (to get the GH:VH too). -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 16:13
Anyone streaming video or gaming on Live wirelessly with the Xbox 360? Is it decent? - Subversive Aug 13, 15:50 5
- I found the wireless to be rather finicky with Verizon fios, so I eventually went wired. - Don Homer Aug 13, 15:56
- I've never noticed any lags with the powerline adapter, which supposedly caps out at 14MBPS. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:55 2
  - Indeed, prior to the wireless hub, I had powerline. This is a great alternative to coax throughout the house. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 16:00 1
    - Although if I were building a house, I'd string cat5, hdmi and speaker cable to every room where it was practical or likely to be used, just in case. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 16:02
- My Xbox connects to a wireless hub which is 802.11G. It plays well. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:52
Weezer's "Blue Album" is just as great now as it was then. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 13, 15:49 4
- We'd prefer if it tapered off some over time, so we could seem good. Please. -- nm - most of Weezer's more recent albums Aug 13, 16:04 1
  - Eff you guys. I don't even know you anymore. -- nm - Pinkerton Aug 13, 16:06
- *So* ahead of it's time. If half of us took our car to work, but the other half took their board, would we even need elec. cars? -- nm - Dr.Vermin. Aug 13, 15:51 1
  - I'm going to say people in Arizona might find it tough. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:53
Zombie Ants Controlled by Fungus -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:46 5
- ALL HAIL HYPNO FUNGUS -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 13, 15:53 1
  - BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -- nm - Hypno Fungus Aug 13, 15:55
- Whoa. Wonder if they're fast or slow zombies. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 13, 15:49
- Hmm. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to be hailing here. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:49 1
  - Turns out "The Happening" was prophetic. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:50
Andie, did you get a follow-up on that check you found? Did the police find the owner and return it? -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:40 2
- i got NOTHING. not a call, zip. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 13, 15:55
- I wondered that too - but figured I just missed it on back boards :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 15:41
I'm about to mailslot a pizza. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 15:40 3
- Got protection? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 13, 15:50
- I'd like to keep this a PG-board. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:40 1
  - Dude. It's not like I'm going to thin-laptop it. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 13, 15:41
Surprise! GM's "230 MPG" for the Chevy Volt is just a bunch of PR crap. The EPA hasn't rated the Volt yet. -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:38 4
- [deleted]
- Seriously, even if it's 100MPG on average, it blows everything else on the market out of the water. - Subversive Aug 13, 15:43
- To be fair, we can't say it's crap. Just that it's not EPA-verified. -- nm - ty97 Aug 13, 15:38
- Mop's claim of 234 lbs is also a bunch of crap. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:38
Legalese help: "Uttering a forged document" just means using it, right? -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:25 2
- [deleted]
- Yes. -- nm - Stephen Aug 13, 15:28
I'm thinking Andie will do really well in the race because she has over 10 thousand reasons for good Karma for rescue on that lost check! -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 15:25 1
- *hires you as his new Public Relations Director* -- nm - Terrel Owens Aug 13, 15:30
If you assign a weighted value to a song's position in the top 10 (say, #1 is 10 points, #2 is 9pts), what song has the highest score for longevity? - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:20 2
- Probably Stairway to Heaven or something off of Dark Side of the Moon. -- nm - jnine Aug 13, 15:32
- Who Let the Dogs Out. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, whoop whoop. Aug 13, 15:30
Who was asking the other day for music as background to work to? Anyway; Sting, Shape of my Heart. - Loyola Aug 13, 15:18 1
- I hate the album version as compared to the Lethal Weapon 3 soundtrack version. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:19
[deleted] 10
- 56% of employers ran away screaming after laying off everyone. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 13, 15:39
- here's the release. nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 13, 15:29 1
  - [deleted]
- Though planning to and doing it are two different things. -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 15:24 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Planning to probably involves an if. "If we make a profit or show some positive growth." -- nm - the liioulu with silver wire Aug 13, 15:33
- That's good news, though context would be useful. - Subversive Aug 13, 15:19 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - the logic of that scene in The Princess Bride comes to mind here -- nm - JenBro Aug 13, 15:27
    - *awards himself a fail for reading comprehension* - Subversive Aug 13, 15:25
Here's a question does Tampa Bay have a MNF game this year? - David Aug 13, 15:09 5
- I would rather see Gruden do a Raiders game. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 15:12 3
  - That too would be classic but I doubt they get another MNF game until Davis is gone. -- nm - David Aug 13, 15:15 2
    - Passing on Crabtree isn't looking as foolish as it did on draft day. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 15:18 1
      - Of course if he was drafted higher he would have been paid what he thought he was worth. - Redmond Aug 13, 15:19
- Nope. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 15:10
Only seven weeks for Umbrella. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 15:05 4
- felt longer -- nm - Epiphany Aug 13, 16:11

- Damn that Wesker! -- nm - David Aug 13, 15:07 1
  - no kidding. -- nm - Remlik Aug 13, 15:08
B2 reminded me that America loves their big, sappy R&B ballads -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 15:04
Macarena, Candle in the Wind, and We Belong Together had 14 weeks each, Brandy's The Boy Is Mine had 13. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 15:04 24
- Where's Mambo #5 in this list of crap?! -- nm - Subversive Aug 13, 15:22 2
  - 20 weeks at #1 on France's list. (only #3 in the US) -- nm - Max Aug 13, 15:30
  - That album was remarkable for having every song be exactly the same. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:26
- *ahem* -- nm - Monica Aug 13, 15:08
- "Yeah!" "Lose Yourself" and "Smooth" were also 12 week #1's. -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 15:06 12
  - Lose Yourself is the first of these mentioned that doesn't make me want to retch. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:08 11
    - for me, that and Smooth. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 15:09 10
      - "How can we combine the blandness of Matchbox 20 with the irrelevance of Carlos Santana?" nm - hitleresque label exec Aug 13, 15:17 1
        
        I can get Carlos Santana multiple Grammys for a song he neither wrote nor sang. -- nm - Jr. Record Executive Assistant Aug 13, 15:34
      - maybe at first, but now that whole Santana revival is regrettable. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:11 7
        
        I know. He became the go-to representative of classic rock for a while there. -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 15:15
        
        Smooth, Maria Maria and Why Don't You and I were the only good songs to come out of that. (nm) - Tim Aug 13, 15:15 4
        
        I think I'd go back in time and kill Wyclef. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:18 3
        
        Could we do something about Chad Kroeger while you're there? -- nm - Subversive Aug 13, 15:30 2
        
        Everybody always tries to kill Chad Kroger. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 15:31 1
        
        I'm not saying you have to kill him, necessarily, just..... do something about him. - Subversive Aug 13, 15:33
        
        agreed. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 15:11
- Candle in the Wind '97 to be more specific. - Tim Aug 13, 15:05

  - also has the 6th longest time in the Hot 100 (60 weeks) -- nm - Max Aug 13, 15:11
  - Oh, I believe it -- nm - con_carne Aug 13, 15:06
  - yeah, that didn't happen to you guys? -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 15:05 2
    - oh, it did, but i don't remember it lasting *that* long. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 15:06 1
      - seemed longer! -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 15:06

    - Michelle is going to Edwards? Hasn't he learned yet? -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 15:11
    - Edwards is still a far ways from Bozeman and Grand Junction. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 13, 15:09 2
      - I meant Andrews. I always screw that up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 15:10 1
        
        Stop eating fatty foods then. -- nm - Redmond Aug 13, 15:21
