Oh I just noticed the top says info sharing resource. Very cool. -- nm - Loyola Nov 6, 14:39 3

What is Blu-Ray Steelbook? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:28 4
- Excessive packaging -- nm - Stewie Nov 6, 14:29 3
  - So exactly what I'd really be trying to avoid? - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:30 2
    - Probably...looks like a FutureShop exclusive thing - Stewie Nov 6, 14:35 1
      - Yeah, I just want normal movies that fit normally into a normal shelf. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:38
i like how so many of the wii fit answers involve not using it anymore..... - x Nov 6, 14:25 15
- I want to use it more but I'm the opposite of physically fit since the surgery. - David Nov 6, 14:37 2
  - wouldn't the opposite of physically fit be mentally unfit? - crash davis Nov 6, 14:39
  - Work it off slowly, fattie. - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:39

    - I think its still taking up space in the garage -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:36
    - Maybe something like this happened? -- (link) - Subbaby's daddy Nov 6, 14:35 [flickr] 1
      - *laughing* -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:36

High Noon isn't about aim. High Noon is about target acquisition. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:21 8
- Also, I think I need to modify my variant to allow for instant spawns ... and maybe juuuust enough shields for a second shot to be required -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:33
- High Noon is about Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly...(nm) - amoxy Nov 6, 14:22 6
  - High Noon is about my lunch hour in Maine. -- nm - Guy si Nov 6, 14:23 1
    - This is still funny. -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 14:24
  - why, when I read the name Gary Cooper, do I think of Gary Coleman? -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:23 1
    - Ditto. Although when I gave it a second thought, my brain switched to Gary Cole. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:23
  - That's what I said. Target acquisition. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:22 1
    - No we are not acquiring Target -- nm - WalMart Nov 6, 14:24
Subversive - do you want to try ebay? there's lots and they aren't that much.. -- (link) - Andie Nov 6, 14:19 4

  - [deleted]
  - cool. -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 14:23 1
    - Completed listings. -- (link) - Subbaby's daddy Nov 6, 14:31
"Perilous state of (UK's) economy..." -- (link) - Loyola Nov 6, 14:19 2
- the ftse was soooo excited it dropped nearly 6%....nm - x Nov 6, 14:23 1
  - Yeah, 1 and a half points. Looks like they were playing Halo, someone showed them the data and they go "F*ck how did it get that bad?" -- nm - Loyola Nov 6, 14:25
Znu, how about Dawson should watch Annie -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 14:17 4
- I have a copy of Annie Hall that I won a few years ago. The shrink-wrap is still on it -- nm - zork Nov 6, 14:24 3
  - what? how is this even possible? -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:25 2

- tomorrow, that is...nm - x Nov 6, 14:17
Question for people who have WiiFit.... - musubi Nov 6, 14:16 9
- It's fun. My wife loves it. The kids like it too. I honestly though haven't used it for weeks. I wish I had the motivation to make it a regular - oblique Nov 6, 14:23
- it's fun and I would say yes to the second questio. - Callisto Nov 6, 14:19 2
  - That IM gives me pause. Mrs moose is one of the people who works out *hard*. - musubi Nov 6, 14:22 1
    - it's okay for strength training and stretching. - Callisto Nov 6, 14:25
- [deleted]
- I sure as hell hope it is. (the 3 weeks until a new subbaby nm) -- nm - Subversive Nov 6, 14:18 2
  - Congrats. ~1 week to the musubaby. (nm) - musubi Nov 6, 14:23 1
    - Congrats to you as well! Also, this thread gives me an excellent idea for a new nick! -- nm - Subbaby's daddy Nov 6, 14:27
- I enjoy it; kelly enjoyed it; but we've not played much since all the renovations went through. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:17

Geffen had his eyes on Obama 4 years ago...Hopefully in a straight way -- (link) - budice Nov 6, 14:13
I've forwarded a link of that 52 to 48 thing to everyone I know. - musubi, bad entrepreneur Nov 6, 14:12
SITWAP but well worth the laugh: Real news goes out the window when Barney the dog bites a reporter! -- (link) - Mop Nov 6, 14:11 2
- Clearly not ALL of the Bush family is happy about the election -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 6, 14:25
- First Dog Poll... -- (link) - Mel Profit Nov 6, 14:14
ML, thx for the 52 to 48 link. I don't know what this says about me or the country, but I don't think we'd see the same thing if results opposite. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 14:06 6
- "I have enough love for both of us since you're heartless. Love and kisses, Mop" -- nm - Max Nov 6, 14:09
- I think you could find 26 people to post similar messages if the results were opposite. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 14:08 4
  - The other question is how magnanimous would these original 26 people be if the results were opposite. -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 14:23 1
    - Aren't some of them from a 48 to the 52s? -- nm - mara Nov 6, 14:34
  - But they'd be much uglier. It's a proven fact. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 14:09 1
    - Love and kisses! -- nm - Max Nov 6, 14:09
I feel a need for a huge Sandtrap heavy match. -- nm - Stephen Colbert Nov 6, 14:03 31
- I'm loving the gausse gun. It's like a nuclear powered sniper rifle. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 14:08 5
  - I don't think I've used one. -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:10 4
    - You have. It's the warthog that isn't a turret. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:14 1
      - oh, yeah, that thing! I love that thing. -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:14
    - It's on the heavy versions of Sandtrap and Standoff. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 14:12
    - Ive seen it on a custom map -- nm - eag Nov 6, 14:11
- How you think your doing on your magnum skills ? - eag Nov 6, 14:04 23
  - I stink, and I pretty much don't care. I'm getting almost David-like when it comes to the magnum game. -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:05 22
    - I love when someone makes the game only magnums. - Krusty Nov 6, 14:07 21
      - I only like it when Truman gives the magnum more power and a longer distance -- nm - eag Nov 6, 14:09 3
        
        that's just him playing. (I don't think you can control the "distance" in the custom settings) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:21 2
        
        He probably lowers the shields too, one shot, one kill. -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 14:23 1
        
        That's what I do in my variant. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:24
      - I don't see the need to get better with magnums. I need to improve on the battle rifle. I'd prefer a game with just that. -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:09 16
        
        I like BR much more than the AR. Headshots will kill someone much quicker than with the AR. - Krusty Nov 6, 14:13 2
        
        the AR can be wicked-deadly against the BR when you're up close and personal, though. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 14:27 1
        
        Very true and I've learned that lesson one too many times. -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 14:30
        
        the better you aim with a magnum the better you can aim with a battle rifle. -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 14:11 10
        
        I'm living proof this isn't the case. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:15 5
        
        that's true. you just stink with rifles and guns. You're more of a General than a footsolider. -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 14:17 1
        
        Please. I could turn Halo pro with my BR skills. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:21
        
        You're better with the magnum than the BR? -- nm - Krusty Nov 6, 14:16 2
        
        No, I mean I'm riding a pale horse with the BR and carrying a noodle with the magnum. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:18 1
        
        Ahh... - Krusty Nov 6, 14:20
        
        if you get hit with a battle rifle you have a chance to duck and return, the magnum game, one shot and you're dead -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:13 3
        
        that why you need to aim quicker. I figured being Bigfoot Hunter Man, you'd be handy with the steel..... - Remlik Nov 6, 14:15 2
        
        I'm not killing Bigfoot, I'm bringing him in alive. -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:19 1
        
        you still gotta trank him! -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 14:24
        
        I hate the BR compared to the AR and I need to improve on the SR -- nm - eag Nov 6, 14:10 1
        
        yeah, but the BR in the hands of those who are good with it is deadly -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:11
- auto-nick -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:04
ML, that's a nice offer. Let me check with the clan and I may e-mail you. -- nm - Subversive Nov 6, 14:03 3

MMA Fans...free download of the UFC Conference call with Brock Lesnar here.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 6, 14:02
Just checking here: Georgia and Alaska are unsettled and Oregon and Minnesota are going through recounts, right? - David Nov 6, 14:00 33
- I'd hate to see 59 and Lieberman becoming important -- nm - Stewie Nov 6, 14:05 1
  - I guess he's probably already included in the 56 though, so it'd be the unlikely 60 scenario that gave him a lot of power -- nm - Stewie Nov 6, 14:15
- [deleted] 9
  - And then Stevens will probably be immediately replaced. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 6, 14:04 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - my understanding is that if he resigns his seat, there's an automatic special election to replace him, no interim appointment by the Gov. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:08 2
        
        my understanding is that I also don't need to read IMs before responding like I know what i'm talking about -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:10 1
        
        That's been our understanding as well. ;) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 14:36
  - What's your guess after all is said and done does Coleman hold or does Fraken pull it out -- nm - eag Nov 6, 14:03 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - Id probably like to see a runoff without Barkley see who wins it -- nm - eag Nov 6, 14:07
      - thats a shame, not because of the D/R dynamic, but I'd love to give you grief about a wrestler and a comedian both :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:06
- Oregon has been called for Merkley, MN will have a recount. GA will have a runoff, and AK is still up in the air. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:01
- Right, the Dems will need all 4 to get to 60. They likely will only get 1. - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:01 17
  - Honestly I think I prefer they don't get to 60. I don't like when either side is too neutered. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 14:04 1
    - Yeah, it got lost in the shuffle a bit, but I said the same thing the other day. - David Nov 6, 14:05
  - What's the big deal about 60? I was watching CNN and it said 51 is a majority. - Subversive Nov 6, 14:04 13
    - At 60 the Dems get to decide what's served at the Senate canteen. -- nm - Loyola Nov 6, 14:12 1
      - no more freedom fries?....nm - x Nov 6, 14:19
    - I don't think anybody really knows! It's a mystery! -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 14:06
    - New ST record for most usages of filibuster on one board! -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:06
    - There are procedural things that the minority can do to slow or stop legislation (filibuster). A majority of 60 can stop that. -- nm - pmb Nov 6, 14:05
    - at 60 they could block the Republicans from filibustering -- nm - crash davis Nov 6, 14:04
    - You can prevent filibusters with 60, but it's not something that comes up a lot anyway. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:04 2
      - my buddy at Mock Congress used to have the Satanic Bible in his case for filibuster bustin'. - Mel Profit Nov 6, 14:09
      - at least, not until recently. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:05
    - 60 is needed to cut off Senate filibusters. With it, you have no excuse for not getting things done. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 6, 14:04
    - 60 is the number of votes needed to prevent a filibuster from holding up a bill. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:04 2
      - If the GOP ever tries a fillibuster...I hope the democrats make them actually hold one...not just pretend to hold one - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 6, 14:07 1
        
        there's enough moderate GOP seats that it would never happen. They'd get Collins and Snowe, and Coleman if he wins, on board - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:09
  - 57 seats. *shrug* I'll take it. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 14:02
- Oregon's blue. Smith conceeded. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 14:01 1
  - Oh, I thought he said he was fighting it. Thanks. -- nm - David Nov 6, 14:04
