I can't imagine how much time it would take in Fallout 3 to find *all* of the skill books. They are nice though. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 12:40 4
- make sure you up the ability that adds points when you read the skill books. That's quite nice to have. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:41 3
  - Yep I have that one :) -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 12:42 2
    - I hit the skill point bonus and skill point ability early on. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:44 1
      - I took the bonus early (1st or 2nd perk) but took the book one at level 6 iirc. My latest perk was Commando. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 12:45
There are people in this Bank who are afraid of e-mailing electronic forms. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:39
" Report: 'Zero chance' that MLB will accept Cuban's Cubs bid." - David Nov 7, 12:37 2
- We should work *with* the Cubans. This may be a first good step in introducing them to the positives of capitalism. - President-elect Obama Nov 7, 12:40
- Doh! I thought you meant that the Cub's were moving to Cuba -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 12:38
Pleased to hear that the emphasis is on a shelter dog for the Obamas. And shelters have plenty of pure-breds so I don't think the issue will be as - TWuG Nov 7, 12:32 4
- My two shelter dogs are pure breeds. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 12:36 3
  - They're trying to balance an allergy issue (need a hypoallergenic breed) with getting a shelter dog. I think it'll be relatively easy. -- nm - TWuG Nov 7, 12:38 2
    - The allergists I've seen say there really isn't such a thing (I know there are opposing opinions). They all just recommended shots for me. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:43
    - I think he's forgetting he's president. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:41
Obama proposes stimulus package. Didn't he oppose this just recently? -- (link) - oblique Nov 7, 12:28 6
- No, McCain and him both proposed new ones last month. - David Nov 7, 12:30 5
  - Though I'm having trouble finding a link on google. Anybody got one? -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:33
  - yeah, but didn't he blast Bush on his? How is Obama's different? -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 12:32 2
    - This stimulus package is solely to blunt the outcry of future bank bailouts. -- nm - Loyola Nov 7, 12:37
    - I'll guess that Obama's plan is going to spend more money actually building...things... - BB Nov 7, 12:36
  - Chump change these days. -- nm - psilotum Nov 7, 12:31
So, say I'm buying a Wii, what accessories do I *need*? - musubi Nov 7, 12:26 12
- I highly recommend a charger stand for the Wiimotes. -- (link) - rollo Nov 7, 12:40
- Classic Controller. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 12:39
- Are you 100% sold on the Wii? -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 12:32 3
  - More or less, it's for the musubi family, not just me. - musubi Nov 7, 12:36 2
    - Fair enough. The family will like it then. You should get a 360 anyway though. -- nm - Shaun Nov 7, 12:37 1
      - If you promise to pay for moose jr's college, sure. :) (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 12:40
- Buy WiiPlay (controller + game) and another nunchuck. Minimum for 2 player play -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 12:28
- It comes with 1 wiimote and 1 nunchuk. You should buy an extra wiimote and an extra nunchuk. That should be sufficient for now. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 12:28
- Depending on how often you have company, getting three extra controllers/nunchucks isn't a bad idea. - David Nov 7, 12:28 1
  - Note: 2 controllers is all you need to do up to 4 player bowling as well as 2 player tennis, boxing, etc. -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 12:29

- the WiiFit board -- nm - M Nov 7, 12:27
The big news out of that press conference is that he says... - David Nov 7, 12:22 6
- IMO, I think the Nancy Reagan joke was in bad taste. - TWuG Nov 7, 12:26 3
  - spoil? -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:28 2
    - He was asked if he'd spoken with all of the "living presidents." He responded saying "living" as well and cracking on Nany and her seance. Bad form, - TWuG Nov 7, 12:31 1
      - oh, that doesn't seem right. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:33
- Whoo Hoo! We're off the hook! -- nm - Lame Duck Congress Nov 7, 12:23 1
  - I think it gets done this month. -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:25
Survivor spoils from last night - Beaker Nov 7, 12:15 7
- spoil - Gwaahjo Nov 7, 12:22
- The only problem with the move (spoilers) - oblique Nov 7, 12:18 2
  - disagree, spoils - Beaker Nov 7, 12:19 1
    - (spoilers) - oblique Nov 7, 12:21
- That show is still on? -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 7, 12:17 2
  - and doing great in the ratings and remaining quite entertaining -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 12:17 1
    - I remember I was in 7th or 8th grade when the first one came out. I can't believe it's still around. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 7, 12:29
Poor Inigo3. My wife took him to the doctor today. (sorta grossness inside) - Inigo Nov 7, 12:15 14
- Ohhh, poor baby (read inside) - Trish Nov 7, 12:30 1
  - Thanks for the info. Heh, staph sounds better. -- nm - Inigo Nov 7, 12:43
- ouch, reading that makes me hunch over and cry. -- nm - Max Nov 7, 12:29
- Ouch hope for the best -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 12:25
- Yikes. Hope he gets better soon. (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 12:23
- hope he gets better soon -- nm - M Nov 7, 12:22
- ouchie...nm - x Nov 7, 12:20
- ouch, poor kid. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:19
- Aaww. I wish him the best. -- nm - lileve Nov 7, 12:19
- [deleted]
- all the best -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 12:18
- poor little guy. -- nm - kelly Nov 7, 12:17
- poor guy. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:17
- I wish him a speedy recovery -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:16
"What happened to your arm, Lynn?" - David Nov 7, 12:14 1
- Dubya would have called her "Wingy" and smirked -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 12:19
The last time I got a splinter I had to go to the ER... - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:11 6
- yes - because the cat, of course, forced you to chase him. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 12:18 1
  - of course. Cats are evil like that. It's what makes them so adorable. -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 12:22
- I was sure this involved a bannister. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:14 3
  - that would have been less embarrasing. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:16 2
    - *plots further acts of pain against Mel* -- nm - Cat Nov 7, 12:17 1
      - still funny -- (link) - M Nov 7, 12:24
The South Park episode this week was just perfect btw. nm - Jovian Nov 7, 12:11
My first drink ended up being a Scooby Snack followed by the following: - Hotkiss Nov 7, 12:10 10
- I know what 1 of these are, but not the rest -- nm - peglegpete Nov 7, 12:23
- ruh roh....m - x Nov 7, 12:15
- woohoo. Kamikaze :) -- nm - oblique Nov 7, 12:12 2
  - It was delicious! -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 7, 12:13 1
    - For my 21st we were doing Kamikaze shots for a while then we went to the bar and asked for another and this bartender said "The shot or the drink" - oblique Nov 7, 12:13
- Whats in a Scooby Snack? -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 12:11 4
  - A wonderful herb. -- nm - Shaggy Nov 7, 12:12
  - First google entry says Malibu coconut rum, creme de bananes, Midori melon liqueur, and pineapple juice -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 7, 12:12 2
    - I love drinks like that. Sadly. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 12:27
    - I love that you had to google it. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:16
Thank you all for the posts re:"Did McCain lose because he was a moderate?" Crash, probably no Halo tonight. - Mop Nov 7, 12:09
"jail time or time in prison"? Gee, how does one choose between those two? - TFox Nov 7, 12:09 4
- [deleted] 3
  - I guess I didn't exactly realize there was a different. - TFox Nov 7, 12:12 2
    - [deleted]
    - -ce. -- nm - TFox Nov 7, 12:12
*tries to remember not to get in front of Remlik when charging a group of 12 year olds* - crash davis Nov 7, 12:08 3
- please I'd slaughter those little punks and gladly teabag each and every one of them. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:10 2
  - I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. -- nm - Capstern si Nov 7, 12:14
  - well, in that case I'd just cheer you on -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:11
23/50 -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 12:08
"We found 0 results for homosexual" - oblique Nov 7, 12:07 2
- homosexuals do not exist -- nm - budice Nov 7, 12:08 1
  - Sure, you'll believe boodechay. *shakes head* -- nm - Ahmadinejad Nov 7, 12:15
Maybe Rosa Parks should moved to a city with integrated buses. That'd show Montgomery. (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 12:07 1
- *shrugs* If possible, you choose the battle you'd rather fight. - TaurusII Nov 7, 12:21
From article in B2: "In a string of damaging briefings, is claimed that she once met hat she once met McCain aides dressed in nothing but a towel" - celedhrymandias Nov 7, 12:07 24
- "Dear Penthouse . . ." -- nm - pmb Nov 7, 12:29
- she met them in damaged briefs? What?...nm - x Nov 7, 12:17
- mmmm, nailin' palin in a whole new light -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 12:14
- She's 51, right? Like this post isn't supposed to make me go..."Niiiiiice," right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 7, 12:13 3
  - dude, she just had a baby. 44. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:15 2
    - Ah yes. That does make sense. Wonder why I had 51 in my head? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 7, 12:23 1
      - You just got back from Area 51? -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 12:27
- the story says that she was in a bathroobe witha towel on her head. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:09 16
  - not in this version here - crash davis Nov 7, 12:15 15
    - Oh, for Pete's sake! Can't you guys get your fabrications straight????? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 7, 12:19 3
      - as I indicated below, its not a fabrication - its either Schmidt or Salter, and I thought Schmidt was supposed to be the one who picked her -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:20 2
        
        crash -- take the batteries out of your Halo headset and put them in your sarcasm detector. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 7, 12:22 1
        
        nah, I got to keep them in the Halo controller, I can't give Remlik any edge. -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:25
    - huh, is it possible they changed it? I swear it used to be bathrobe. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:16
    - Just to parse the ridiculousness, she might have been coming from the pool as opposed to the shower. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 7, 12:16 9
      - what I found most interesting though is that there were only four folks in the room, so its either Schmidt or Salter dogging her anonymously -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:18 8
        
        I did not read it that way. I would not be at all surprised if there were at least one aide floating around. You think the big guys move without aides -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:20
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I know, but its the specificity of it is like Woodward's tell all books. Names and exact quotes in closed rooms. - crash davis Nov 7, 12:23 2
        
        seriously, there had to be aides. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:23 1
        
        see what I said to you below -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:24
        
        She undoubtedly had a suite, and probably had lackeys sitting around. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:21 2
        
        However, if she did, it would make the story sound worse, and I don't think Newsweek would hesitate to increase the number -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 12:24 1
        
        nah, aides are part of the woodwork. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 12:25
RC, Swab some ointment on it, wrap it in gauze and move on -- nm - amoxy Nov 7, 12:06 3
- bah! pour some whiskey on it, lick the blood off and wrap it in paper towel! -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:11
- and hope the spider eggs don't get into the wound -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 12:08
- ouch dude. calling that a splinter was a bit of an understatement. Hope it is OK. -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 12:06
substance aside, it's just nice to have a guy behind the podium who doesn't sound like he's making shit up as he goes - pigby Nov 7, 12:05 14
- And smirks about it when he's done. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 7, 12:17
- Yeah, but he's guarded with his words. It doesn't flow naturally at times. Very choppy -- nm - budice Nov 7, 12:10 8
  - I think he has to be at this point. He's not President yet. There can only be one in charge...so I think he's being cautious with what he says. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:12
  - I started to count the "uh"s, but gave up quickly. - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 12:12 6
    - Yeah, that's an aspect of his speech patterns I wish he could correct. -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:13 5
      - ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 12:17
      - also the long "aaaand..." -- nm - Max Nov 7, 12:14 3
        
        I'm guilty of that one myself. If he's like me, he uses it to stall while considering perfect phrasing. -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:15 2
        
        Same here. I don't even notice the "uh" (as long I'm not *trying* to notice) because *everybody* does it. It's white noise to me. (nm) - musubi Nov 7, 12:28 1
        
        hhtt! What do you mean, "white noise"?? -- nm - Kirk Lazarus Nov 7, 12:31
- He looks like he hasn't slept in five days. -- nm - David Nov 7, 12:09
- "Now watch me bowl this strike." -- nm - Max Nov 7, 12:08
- Or who sounds like he's reading stuff from a prompter that he doesn't really understand or believe. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 12:07 1
  - he's cracking me up with his analysis of the new puppy decision - pigby Nov 7, 12:09
Shift-7 in Gmail. Let me know what happens. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 12:05 4
- I didn't notice anything. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 7, 12:08 2
  - It's supposed to launch a game of "Snake". -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 12:38 1
    - Can't get it to run, either. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 12:39
- *nukular meltdown* -- nm - Three Mile Island Nov 7, 12:07
huh...that was Harry Crane from Mad Men (Head of TV!) that was on The Office..... -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:03 2
- the voice was the giveaway -- nm - pigby Nov 7, 12:04 1
  - not to me. He looked so different that I didn't place it till a co-worker told me. -- nm - Remlik Nov 7, 12:13
