- Of course she did. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:11

- you made out with both the bride and groom in the closet after the ceremony? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 21, 09:07

- hmm, someone from work had to go to ohsu mulitple times, and he never complained about access via rental car. - b. Sep 21, 09:04
- that's...good...right? -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 09:01 1
  - heh, my thoughts exactly...I guess the news is certainly better than it could have been. -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 09:02
Remember that conversation about miniskirt length? Yikes. (mostly safe for work. kinda.) -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 21, 08:59 2
- That is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 09:03 1
  - the link title should have provided fair warning of what to expect :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 09:04
MUA2 stuff: I was very disappointed with Venom. He just seemed to take damage too easily for him to really be useful. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 08:58 11
- what Venom is it? The Eddie Brock Venom or the eating people Venom? -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 09:03 9
  - *shrugs* What's the difference? -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 09:06 8
    - One's a good guy ... and one is Eddie Brock. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 09:08
    - Huge. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:06 6
      - Well he didn't have an "eat people" power, so I'm guessing it's the Brock version. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 09:08 5
        
        Actually I think it was the Gargan version. Someone else should clarify. Civil War Venom anyway. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 09:10 4
        
        *ding* But he *does* eat people in the book. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:11 3
        
        Fair enough! I still need to read Civil War at some point. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 09:12 2
        
        *thud* -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:14 1
        
        Don't worry. I'm ordering it on my next Amazon purchase which should be this week. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 09:18
- I am so far behind! -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:02
Why does airport security have to be so damned annoying? And will the machine fry my electronics? -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 21, 08:53 7
- if there is some piece of electronics you are particularly worried about, ask if they can not run it through xray. - Andie Sep 21, 08:58 6
  - X-Rays don't hurt electronics. They do hurt undeveloped film. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 09:00 2
    - flash drives? -- nm - zork Sep 21, 09:08 1
      - No, they're fine. Pretty much the only thing they hurt is undeveloped film. - Subversive Sep 21, 09:12
  - yeah when we traveled for work they don;t put laptops and such through, but they may ask you to turn it on to prove it works -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 08:59 1
    - it's been many years since i have not seen a laptop (including mine) not go through x-ray. everyone takes them out and puts them in bins. -- nm - b. Sep 21, 09:06
  - This is my hydrogen bomb. I take it everywhere. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 08:58
I have a hard time coming up with a scenario where I would want to bring a platonic friend to a wedding as a plus one. - znufrii Sep 21, 08:52 8
- So, if you can't get a date, you're just not going to go no matter how much you'd like to? -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 09:12 1
  - nm -- (link) - znufrii Sep 21, 09:15 [Backboard]
- I would go to a wedding with a platonic friend even if I didn't know anybody - Guigue Sep 21, 09:10 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 09:13
- Don't have an SO, wasn't going to bring another female friend (wouldn't that be weird?) -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 21, 08:54 2
  - you do realize you are allowed to go by yourself, right? :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 08:55
  - maybe for the chicks...dudes would think it was hot -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 08:55
- I'd take amanda to a wedding in a second - oblique Sep 21, 08:54
I need to check that BOP quiz section more often. I actually knew that one! - kelly Sep 21, 08:52
This AP voter's college football rankings are rather interesting. -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 21, 08:51 8
- I like the way Dan Shanoff does his. Based purely on games and who've they've beaten not on expectations. -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 08:54 3
  - I wonder how different the polls might look if this week was the first poll. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 08:56 2
    - Sure they'd be different some. What I would like to change is the computer polls not being allowed to factor in victory margin. - Don Homer Sep 21, 08:59 1
      - *nods* -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 09:01
- Oklahoma is now 11 spots higher than BYU in the USA Today Poll. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 08:54 3
  - Eh. I'm not big on "but they beat the other team" arguments. Yeah, but the other team also lost someone else. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 21, 08:56 2
    - (not saying I necessarily agree with OK being so much higher, but I certainly don't think BYU should automatically be higher. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 21, 08:57 1
      - If Oklahoma had beaten a ranked team I could see the argument for them being ranked higher but right now it's silly. - Dano Sep 21, 09:00
It was interesting in The Office premiere that they seemed intent on (spoils) - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:51 9
- The best little moment was Pam's "No, keep going" in the talking head shot. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 08:54 5
  - Refresh my memory please? - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:55 3
    - Jim was making some sort of sarcastic remark about the baby and dug too deeply. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 08:58 2
      - spoil - Banzai! Sep 21, 08:59
      - Oh yes. Very good scene. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:59
  - Agreed. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 08:54
- I guess in some way you have to do that to make them more interesting characters - oblique Sep 21, 08:52 1
  - I get you want them to change and such...but you gotta be able to trace it via the character. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:54
- agreed. -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 08:51
Loosi: It can't be platonic! Directly above, con_carne: It can be platonic! - ty97 Sep 21, 08:51 1
- Well, I'm speaking as a dude who has many platonic female friends :) - con_carne Sep 21, 08:58
Dell buys Perot Systems for $3.9 billion. A 67% premium over Friday's closing price! -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 08:51 2
- Not sure on the price, but the move is sensible. -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 08:52 1
  - Agreed. Dell was quickly becoming the only "PC only" manufacturer out there any more. The money is in services. Ask IBM or Oracle or HP. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 09:00
The Up In The Air teaser and clip for those interested. -- (link) - ty97 Sep 21, 08:50
LIR HK. Of course it's possible to go platonically - con_carne Sep 21, 08:50 13
- Yep. It depends on the reason for the invite. Example...if it's a couple that both of you hang with...in your circle of friends... - Jim Sep 21, 08:54 7
  - one would assume under that circumstance the other person would've been invited separately. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 08:57 3
    - No, one would not. Weddings are expensive and plenty of good friends usually get excluded from the guest list. That's just how it is. -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 09:00 1
      - If I needed to trim the guest count, I'd cut the plus-ones (for people who I knew weren't attached) so i could invite more of my friends. -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 09:17
    - Cheap assed mother fuckers!!! -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 08:58
  - *ding* - I've done this on more than one occasion. -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 08:55 2
    - While I'm all for slagging on HK for these types of questions...I don't think this time qualifies. - Jim Sep 21, 08:56 1
      - I don't think it does either. It depends on how well these people all know each other. -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 08:58
- But unexpected anal is still allowed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 08:51 4
  - expected, in fact -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 08:51 3
    - Which brings me to our Blood Feud game... -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 08:57 2
      - It's not over yet. I'm betting on the MIA DEF putting the hurt on Williams! - oblique Sep 21, 08:59 1
        
        ... and Clark! -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:05
HK: How many times are you going to ask whether x can be done platonicalyl before you get that it can't? - loosilu Sep 21, 08:49 22
- I prescribe as many viewings of When Harry Met Sally as it takes. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 08:53
- You can do the wedding-non-date.....but it has to be about as clearly negotiated upfront as you can possibly get. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:52 9
  - i agree with this. however, this should be with someone who is already *clearly* just a friend. - Andie Sep 21, 08:56 6
    - it was option D -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 21, 08:58 4
      - So, when you say "Why can't the world chill out" you're really saying - con_carne Sep 21, 09:07
      - That's a date. And given the type of event; that's a pretty 'big' date. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:59
      - if you knew it was D going in, then this should not be surprising. -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 08:59
      - well, yeah, you asked out a guy who liked you. - Andie Sep 21, 08:59
    - Yep. Keeping it simple and upfront known is key. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 08:58
  - "No kissing, no hand-holding, no touching, no anal, only 1 dance, we drive separately, - Don Homer Sep 21, 08:55 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 08:53
- That's so stupid. Why can't the world chill out? -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 21, 08:52 3
  - The world was built and grown on the basis of men and women jamming each other to grow new people. - TFox Sep 21, 08:54 2
    - Ironically, HK's version seems to ultimately result in more jamming. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 21, 08:57
    - I disagree. - ty97 Sep 21, 08:56
- "Can I have sex with someone and just have it be platonic?" -- nm - HK SI Sep 21, 08:50 6
  - There were two women in my apartment Saturday night that both say yes to this. -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 08:53 4
    - did they at least invite you to join? cause if not, that's rude. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 08:54 3
      - There was no sexing Saturday evening. But one of them has given me a lap dance before. -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 08:57 2
        
        If I was still single, I'd totally be gay. Gay guys get way more chicks -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 08:58 1
        
        not too much of a leap for you. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 21, 09:19
  - Maybe that's why the Office development confused her. (spoils) - TFox Sep 21, 08:51
ST is all gay! -- nm - MIT Sep 21, 08:49 2
- Eeek! -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 09:01
- this was clearly revealed at the bottom of B1 -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 08:49

Wheelhouse. -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 08:48 3
- your wheelhouse is pretty darned big. - prayformojo Sep 21, 08:49 2
  - She is going to kick your wheelhouse! -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 21, 08:50
  - Actually, that sounds just about right. *laughing* -- nm - Diva Sep 21, 08:49

  - you broke it! -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 08:50
