Ooh...my Arkham and Ghostbusters should be arriving today. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:44 9
- Arkham has been fun but the hype as the game of the year is a bit much. (spoiler) - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 09:49 6
  - there's some goofy video game logic in it - Reagen Aug 31, 09:53 3
    - That's funny, never thought of that. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:00 2

  - ??? -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 31, 09:41 3
    - it's a meme-like congratulatory outburst on this forum. It means "very good!" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:42 2
      - Oh. Okay. Well, thank you very much -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 31, 09:43 1
        
        Seriously, though, GM? That sounds awesome. Congrats. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:44
I humbly submit the Hair Metal of the Day Roundup: A Grooveshark playlist of all the recent YHMOTD postings, all in one convenient rockin' place. -- (link) - con_carne Aug 31, 09:32 8

Amazon Prime has made me an inefficent shopper. I just order one thing whenever I want it now because shipping is free - oblique Aug 31, 09:18 13
- It's possible I'll dump prime when it expires this fall. - ty97 Aug 31, 09:21 10
  - Ship them to work. I do that sometimes. -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 09:23 9
    - we're not allowed to get anything personal. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:26 5
      - "What? All I did was get some specialty flours sent to my office!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 09:27 4
        
        I recently bought facepowder which could legitimately be mistaken for weaponized anthrax. - loosilu Aug 31, 09:29 3

        it's good stuff. I want to sample the foundation. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:33 1
        
        I don't know why, but this is giving me a mental image of Galacticus/Omnipotus tentatively licking the foundation of a building -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:40
    - I don't have a (set) work location -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:24 1
      - what about your brother's work? -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 09:25
    - all most everything I order is shipped to work. Ty97 doesn't really have an office though, does he? -- nm - decline Aug 31, 09:24
- yeah, I feel kind of bad when I get multiple boxes in the same week. - decline Aug 31, 09:19 1

- Weight Watchers keeps e-mailing me trying to get me to join. - ty97 Aug 31, 09:18

by the way, someone asked last week if there was a woot or slickdeals or travel stuff, fatwallet has a travel deals forumn. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 09:14
Forgive my jump into celeb gossip, please, but W.T.F?! - ty97 Aug 31, 09:13 23
- wouldn't that be the celeb story of the year? (also, today is/was MJ birthday.) -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 09:20 3
  - I think it would be a better story if you replaced Culkin with someone like Bill Clinton. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:21 2
    - It's probably quite hurtful from the kids' point of view. The Sun is trash. Lies for the unwashed. -- nm - Loyola Aug 31, 09:24
    - Home Alone 5: Alone at the Clinton House -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:22
- Everytime I think "OK, now this story can't get weirder." And then... -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 09:18 2
  - at this point, throwing Culkin in the mix isn't even weird. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:19 1
    - I could swear that not only is it not weird, it's been done constantly since Jacko died -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:19
- the sun is notoriously wrong about this kind of thing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:18 12
  - That's true, though you have to admit the quality of the bullshit has been outstanding with this case. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 09:19 9
    - We need to work Liz Taylor in here somehow. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:20 7
      - she had a few dramatic collapses right after he died. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:21 6
        
        Not weird enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:30 5
        
        throw david gest and liza in there somehow -- nm - 'lia Aug 31, 09:34
        
        Maybe Liz could adopt a baby that she thinks is MJ reincarnated. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 09:32 3
        
        Perfect. It has just the right hint of insanity without going to 100% plaid. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:37
        
        Ooh, you're hired. -- nm - The Sun Aug 31, 09:37 1
        
        *burns you all* -- nm - Sol Aug 31, 09:37
    - oh, absolutely. You can make up anything and not go wrong. However, if you are looking for an actual reputable source, the Sun is not it. - loosilu Aug 31, 09:20
  - I trust the Sun as much as...well, the Sun. But even the suggestion that it could be true, how utterly bizarre. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 09:19
  - (even among rags, is what I'm saying) -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 09:18
- yes, he is allegedly putting his penis in Mila Kunis. - groiny Aug 31, 09:15 1
  - It's one of the odder couplings. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 09:19
- It had been rumored. I'm glad that such a rigoursly fact-checked publication was able to confirm it. - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:15
I crossed at least three items off my google task list yesterday. It was quite productive. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:11 1
- hmm ... and one of the things I learned while finishing up one of those tasks ... will help me make the Interesting Links page a bit more interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:12

- oh hell yes!! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 31, 09:22
- I prefer Dream Warriors myelf. - groiny Aug 31, 09:13 2
  - I borderline despised Dokken. About as much as WASP. - Spawn Aug 31, 09:36

Don't forget today's IPO on HSX...White Chicks 2 !!! - Beaker Aug 31, 08:58 3

    - The link had been posted, and my message was to fake being annoyed at your warning. - Spawn Aug 31, 09:26 1
      - because you posted a broken link -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 09:39
- The Titanic Sank! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 08:46
It's amusing to me that people can post on a board that's discussing an issue, and on that *same* board post the intial news story about it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 08:45 5
