That has to be the first glottal stop joke in TT's history, right? (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:17 3

- heh. Amy is off today, spackling and touch-up painting. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:26
- Electrical wiring is the point i draw the line at really even attempting a self-fix. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:19 6
  - I'll do minor rewiring jobs, but am always a bit nervous about it. I've got friends who are electricians who'll do stuff with live wires - decline Aug 31, 11:25
  - Yeah, I found I am not bad at plumbing, but electrical, NFW -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 11:23

    - Damn right you won't mess with me -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 11:23

- just cover the ceiling in bioluminescent goo -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:17

    - Tom Cable praised his hustle. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:27

    - "Stop talking you little f***ing Napoleon wannabes." -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:21
LIR: loosilu. Curious. Was one of the positive matches on virustotal from the AV package you use on your work computer? - oblique Aug 31, 11:11 1
- we have McAfee, and only one of the McAfees on virustotal caught it. Our IT department does such, you don't have to tell me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:12
List for my last pick sent -- nm - Todd Manning Aug 31, 11:11

ST Poll: Pick paint colors for Dawson's A) Living Room B) Kitchen C) Bedroom D) Bathroom. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 11:01 36
- Why not do that Queer Eye thing where the whole room is eggshell, except for one wall which is a snazzy color -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 11:07 20
  - are accent walls still in? That feels very 2004 to me. Am I wrong? -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 11:08 18
    - I had one in my first bedroom. That was 1970. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:11
    - It says "Hi, I live on the set of Friends!" to me. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:10 2
      - No, thht would mean one wall is missing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:12 1
        
        that's the one they painted clear. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:12
    - I hate accent walls. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:10 6
      - The more important question: Do they have accent walls in Hawaii? -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 11:12 5
        
        they have glottal stop walls. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:13 2
        
        and fricative floors. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:14 1
        
        and diphthongial doorways -- nm - mara Aug 31, 11:23
        
        yes, but they are covered in vowels, with very few consonants. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:13
        
        Yes, but we all live in grass huts, so it's really just a matter of changing the grass each season. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:13
    - [deleted] 1
      - I'm not necessarily anti-accent wall, but meaty's question made me realize I haven't heard about them in a long time. - ty97 Aug 31, 11:11
    - it can work in the right space. -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 11:09 2
      - Yeah ... in 4th-dimensional euclidian space circa 2004. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:10 1
        
        au contraire. - znufrii Aug 31, 11:12
    - I agree with this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:09
    - I do not believe they are still in, no. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:08
  - "Because it's dumb." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:08
- A) Ketchup red. B) Mustard yellow. C) Relish green. D) Hot dog bun golden wheat -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 11:06
- I can't do that until I've seen the place. -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 11:05 4
  - not to mention his furniture. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:07
  - subtle.......... -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 11:06 1
    - Good call. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:07
  - You are worthless and weak. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:06

I just found out my Dad has to have a stent/ balloon put in tomorrow... - MDH Aug 31, 11:01 11
- Sounds like it is a pretty routine procedure... - amoxy Aug 31, 11:24
- Thanks everyone, I appreciate it :-) Family is just a little nervouse so hopefully it all goes well - MDH Aug 31, 11:09
- Should be as routine as you can get, best wishes for the normal procedure. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:06
- Pretty routine, and pretty helpful. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:05
- I understand this has become a very common procedure. One good thing about it is that the results are instant vs. drugs -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 11:05
- My dad just had this done. He had the procedure on Tuesday, went home on Wednesday. - Jim Aug 31, 11:03 2
  - Well that's good, thanks -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:04 1
    - My dad has an allergic reaction to the Plavix he was prescribed after the procedure. - Jim Aug 31, 11:06
- My father had this several years ago. Relatively simple, yes, and since then he has been far more energetic than he'd become. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 11:03 2
  - Yeah my Dad had been a bit slower, hopefully this helps. thanks. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:04 1
    - Was an amazing change really. He'd just chalked up the slowing down to "getting older." It was like he was 10+ years younger afterwards. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 11:14

Was Wonder Bread always like twice as expensive than regular bread? - Reagen Aug 31, 10:53 6
- Yup. Never bought it because of that, I used to just buy the cheapest generic white bread, but now we eat the Oroweat - Stephen Aug 31, 11:14 2
  - I used to walk by one of their bakeries every day on my way to school. - znufrii Aug 31, 11:18 1
    - I used to live around the corner from a bakery. The smell was wonderful, but it was mostly at night. - con_carne Aug 31, 11:20
- Because wheat bread tastes nasty comparatively, especially to the tastes of a 10 year old. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 10:58
- well, they have to pay for all that marketing somehow. -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 10:56
- Because it's more wonderific than unwonder bread? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 31, 10:55
Can someone post the link to Blood Fued Vamp Draft please? -- nm - Redmond on a phone Aug 31, 10:52 4
- here: -- (link) - TFox Aug 31, 10:53 3
  - NWBR pick is in...Disney is up. -- nm - Samara Aug 31, 10:55 2
    - Yeah...I didn't see David paused the draft on B2 until after. I went straight from email to the board...however... - Jim Aug 31, 11:05 1
      - It's fine. We're unpaused. I was waiting for you. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:09

Mike Hampton, forgetting that it's been years since he was a Met, will undergo surgery that will end his season. (link) - musubi Aug 31, 10:50

- Are you planning to pain immediatetely when moving in? Like, right away? - ty97 Aug 31, 10:59 2
  - oh, there's going to be pain immediately -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:12
  - [deleted]
- If you are not going to get around to painting anytime soon, spot paint is better than nothing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 10:54 4
  - [deleted]
  - Course, if he wants to do it the easiest, do ti before all his stuff is moved in. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 10:55 2
    - I was about to say, it's a hundred times easier when it's empty. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:07
    - Agreed. Just saying, it sounds like he isn't. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 10:56
- Were you not planning on painting the place? - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:53 34
  - [deleted] 33
    - I helped a friend paint his place yesterday. It's not bad until you start to do the ceiling. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:59 11
      - which you do first, of course. (right???) -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:05 7
        
        Did the edges around the room first, then the ceiling. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:09 6
        
        Always start top down. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:10 1
        
        We did, but we did the brush work on the corners before doing the ceiling and then the walls. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:14
        
        I wouldn't have done it that way. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:10 3
        
        If you do the corners and edges it looks smoother when you do the bulk of the area with the roller. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:12 2
        
        You still start top down. Corners and edgers of the ceiling, then paint. - musubi Aug 31, 11:15 1
        
        That's how we do it, I wasn't very specific I was being lazy. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:26
      - [deleted] 2
        
        What?!? -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 11:00 1
        
        [deleted]
    - I can say this strongly enough: hire professionals. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:55 17
      - I enjoy the precision implied by this typo. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:07 1
        
        Indeed. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:08
      - I agree and have them do it a couple of days before you move your stuff in if possible. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 10:57 14
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        Don't pay someone to paint the walls white just to paint them again, I can do that for you. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Aug 31, 11:07 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        huh huh - Spawn Aug 31, 11:07
        
        Don't go white. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:00 8
        
        I hate agreeing with you. White sucks. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:05
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        No, you do a primer, then two coats of whatever. - Reagen Aug 31, 11:05 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Not done nearly as much these days. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:13
        
        also, if the initial colour was light enough, and what you're painting with is dark enough, you can sometimes get away with one coat. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:11
        
        Don't be lazy with the taping. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 11:08
        
        Pick a color, then hire a pro. He should know all these details. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:07
        
        Yup. Prior to moving stuff. Once stuff is in the new place, it makes it exponentially harder. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:58
    - I'm handy with a paintbrush. - znufrii Aug 31, 10:55
    - ::reads IM... twitches:: -- nm - znu Aug 31, 10:55
    - Ugh. I hate painting. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:54
- They're asking if they should continue to touch-up the painting; which given the fact that touch'ups will be obvious due to sunlight exposure - Will Hunting Aug 31, 10:52
- *salivating* -- nm - Home Depot & Lowe's Aug 31, 10:52
- Painting party! -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 10:51
- [deleted] 1
  - whatever you want. If you are planning on painting in your own color, than I'd say have them stop. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:52
BOOM!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 10:48 1
- Mr. Brown? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 10:50
