Did i miss the Happy Birthday Spawn thread?? - Andie Sep 21, 10:32 8
- Happy Birthday! -- nm - JenBro Sep 21, 10:36
- happy birthday -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:34
- Happy birthday! -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:33
- Birfday! -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 10:33
- Happy Birthday Spawn, what did you get us? (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 10:33
- i think we all posted our well-wishing on facebook -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 10:32 2
  - I barely know when anyone's birthday is. Facebook is helpful for reminding me, but it doesn't always work (I have to load the full site to see them :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:34 1
    - *psst* - Spawn Sep 21, 10:34
LYC: I *really* wish Mark Sanchez stayed in school one more year. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 10:31 5
- yeah, this weekend illuminated what was behind Carroll's public bristling when Sanchez declared for the draft -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 10:32 1
  - Yup. I had been pretty critical of the media over-praising Matt Barkley in the first two games, but now? I spoke too soon. - musubi Sep 21, 10:35
- So do we. -- nm - New England Patriots Sep 21, 10:32 2
  - Mark Sanchez was not our problem. If you'd told me before the game they'd only post 16 pts, I'd have marked 2-0 on my schedule. -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 10:32 1

Also, over the weekend, heard the story of my brother's college friend.... - ty97 Sep 21, 10:30 11
- hee hee, chicks suck at fellatio. nm - Dignan Sep 21, 10:39
- Sweet jeebus, why did I click this post. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 10:32
- [deleted]
- Did he try a styptic pen to stop the bleeding? -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:31 2
  - *punches Max eleven times for saying that* ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 10:32 1
    - "The screams could be heard from five blocks away in all directions." -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:33
- Um... was she a vampire or something? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 21, 10:31

- Further proof. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 10:31
- *wince* -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 10:31
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Blackest Night has basically become DC's "Marvel Zombies"? -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 10:24 2
- Not really, but I see your point. - Spawn Sep 21, 10:30
- only without the humour, writing or contained story of Marvel Zombies -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 10:26
I bought some DVD +R blank discs the other day, but when I try to put video files onto them, a box pops up saying "your discs are not formatted, would - Loyola Sep 21, 10:17 20
- on your PC or a stand-alone recorder. Check the properties and/or manual to see if it takes +R, -R, or both. -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:21
- That's odd. Have you tried more than one disc? - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 10:20 1
  - depends on whether you "close" the disc or not. each session takes up overhead space on the disc though. I always do single session to avoid problems. - zork Sep 21, 10:26
- IIRC, there are more than one formats for DVD recorders - con_carne Sep 21, 10:19 16
  - I want to put some pirated films I downloaded onto discs. I need Bery to walk me through it. -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:21 15
    - discs you can play in a DVD player? No dice. I've never done that successfully. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:25 2
      - Even if they only played on a computer would do me. -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:29 1
        
        well, Windows can natively burn CDs, but not DVDs (I think Windows 7 fixes this). You need 3rd-party burning software to burn DVDs. - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:32
    - if you are using Nero, etc., the program should be able to look after everything for you. - zork Sep 21, 10:22
    - What software are you using to burn? - Dr.Vermin Sep 21, 10:22 8
      - Oh right. I was dragging and dropping. Software. Good idea. -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:24 7
        
        You can torrent a copy of Nero pretty easily. That's what I use. *Very* handy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 21, 10:24 6
        
        The irony of torrenting a software to burn torrented movies onto DVDs is not lost here -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:25 4
        
        early 80s, the first discs your friends copied for you when you got an Apple ][ was copying software (then the games) - zork Sep 21, 10:28
        
        What irony? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:26 2
        
        Like rain on your wedding day -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:27 1
        
        I'll have none of that, thank you very much! -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:28
        
        Nice one, cheers. -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:25
    - If you want to make them viewable on a DVD player, you need to use burn them as Video DVDs, not Data DVDs (which requires formatting) -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:22 1
      - my player reads files from data dvds -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:23
This is slightly amusing. "Orioles Park Serves Up Sad Hot Dog, Ignores Pleas For Help" -- (link) - Don Homer Sep 21, 10:16 3
- They are dead on about Nats park being way too expensive -- nm - MDH Sep 21, 10:21 1
  - They should start by giving away the tickets. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 21, 10:22
- that's a really bad looking hot dog -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:18
did Dano see Up In The Air at TIFF? -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 10:15 1
- No. I avoid films that I know are getting a theatrical release. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:25
did Dano go to the Paranormal Activity screening last week? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 10:15 1
- Thursday Night this week -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:23
Most Insane Post on B2 -- (link) - nubby Sep 21, 10:15 [Backboard] 5
- I haven't seen the previous seasons, but of this season, she's a useless queen bee with delusions of grandeur. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:16 4
  - huh? ( spoilers inside ) - JenBro Sep 21, 10:24 2
    - There's the delusion of grandeur. Unless I'm just spoiled by having a competent secretary. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:26 1
      - Secretary in today's world is different from 1960's - JenBro Sep 21, 10:31
  - Eh, you really need to start from the beginning to better sense that character progression and development. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 21, 10:17
Have I mentioned today... 22 TIFF reviews in two days at The Trades! -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 10:14 2
- bah. No Dogtooth review. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:25 1
  - "Mucho loco." -- nm - Max Sep 21, 10:27
The middle girl in the Big Picture Octoberfest #22 seems *very* familiar. --nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 10:11 2
- slightly related, amoxy should use #24 for Hotties of the Day -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 10:24
- I've seen those boobs before! -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Sep 21, 10:13
from B2: the nemesis left Friday. My boss at HQ called at 10:30 am to say I should vacate my desk and show up at HQ tomorrow morning. - loosilu Sep 21, 10:11 12
- this sucks bad - but I am hoping you land at a different place that is mucho better. - Epiphany Sep 21, 10:23 3
  - me too! thanks. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:24 2
    - now...rub her back a little... -- nm - Beaker Sep 21, 10:27 1
      - heh heh -- nm - Epiphany Sep 21, 10:30
- "I will cuuut you" -- nm - MDH Sep 21, 10:12 2
  - "Say hello to my little friend!" -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:13
  - "I can't quit you" -- nm - BB Sep 21, 10:13
- is it possible you're just being re-assigned? - ty97 Sep 21, 10:11 4
  - could be. What I'm livid about is how they have handled this one. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:12 3
    - It does sound like terrible handling. - ty97 Sep 21, 10:14 2
      - oh, I won't. I will be reasonable and decent, which will make them look worse. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:15 1
        
        I vote for the firebomb option! - BB Sep 21, 10:18
I guess it literally fell off the back of a truck. Found a carton of imported cigarettes in the middle of the street last night. How much can I charge - zork Sep 21, 10:10 3
- I was about to raise my hand until I saw 'menthol'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 21, 10:22
- So, you are gonna push cancer sticks? -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 10:13 1
  - right now, I'm waaayy too poor to have morals or ethics -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:24
The being awake from ~4:30 to 5:30 because of thunder this morning is hitting me now. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:09 1
- I see your weather-related wake-up and raise you an insomnia for no discernible reason and a 2 yr girl that woke us up 5(!) times. - HdnAgnda Sep 21, 10:11
Speaking of poker, I made it to my first final table the other night. - kelly Sep 21, 10:07 9
- very good!! fast progression. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 21, 10:22 3
  - Eh, I'm thinking pure luck. :) -- nm - kelly Sep 21, 10:24 2
    - Nah. You play solid cards most of the time; that puts you ahead of 1/2 the people there. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 10:29
    - if you say so - but I doubt it's all luck. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 21, 10:25
- Yay! -- nm - nubby Sep 21, 10:10
- Question: Where do you play? - musubi Sep 21, 10:09 2
  - WPT:APL --- free poker series that runs 4 venues locally. - Will Hunting Sep 21, 10:15
  - Live - local Moose lodge. - kelly Sep 21, 10:15
- bravo! -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 10:08
Finally watched latest Glee this weekend. I'm with the consensus that the show is a total mess. - musubi Sep 21, 10:06 16
- Things I don't mind: - ty97 Sep 21, 10:13 1
  - I don't mind the number of characters in theory, I just don't like how they did them. (minor spoils) - musubi Sep 21, 10:27
- See, I thought the weirdest was (spoiler) - nubby Sep 21, 10:11 6
  - but, that was sort of the point of that, right? - Andie Sep 21, 10:16 4
    - for a guy who can't (spoiler) - oblique Sep 21, 10:17 3
      - spoiler - Diva Sep 21, 10:22
      - This is my favorite post of the day. -- nm - nubby Sep 21, 10:18 1
        
        All I ask is for a little consistency in the characters :) -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:19
  - *nods* -- nm - oblique Sep 21, 10:15
- nubby had the best comment with - HdnAgnda Sep 21, 10:10
- Also: The Informant! did nothing to lessen my man-crush on Matty. Solid B. - musubi Sep 21, 10:08 5
  - Great performances, meh on everything else. B-. -- nm - nubby Sep 21, 10:13 1
    - It had a weird tone and rhythm to get into. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:13
  - my favorite scene, which I think displayed his acting skill, was - Max Sep 21, 10:11 2
    - I also loved Tony Hale. In limited screen time, I just *loved* how he played his character. (nm) - musubi Sep 21, 10:17 1
      - Yes to the OM. -- nm - nubby Sep 21, 10:18
More debt! -- nm - Loyola Sep 21, 10:06
I didn't realise that the shoe had *just* dropped and thought it was known for a bit. crap. -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:05 11
- It sounds like it's not a total surprise, but not officially known until just now. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:10
- Last week she made several "shit hitting fan" posts, and then I assumed her posts today were about that. No? -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 10:09 2
  - i thought she resigned, they said she couldn't leave yet (until she was replaced), which just happened? - Andie Sep 21, 10:10 1
    - yes, that is correct. I told them I'd finish up my work. Have not heard a single peep from management for two months. - loosilu Sep 21, 10:13
- seriously - what the f? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 21, 10:06
- As was stated, the kept her on so they could find a replacement. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 10:06 5
  - Note: She's a contractor, she will likely just get a new contract. I don't believe she was let go from her actual employer - oblique Sep 21, 10:14 1
    - correct. but who knows? Tomorrow I'm meeting with the guy who yells at me. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:15
  - I was only kidding about that! - BB Sep 21, 10:10 2
    - Spawn is correct. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:14 1
      - nmbl (yeah right) - Spawn Sep 21, 10:33

- I wish i dressed really badly, rather than just kinda badly. I'd love to be sent on that show. -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 10:04 26
  - I would be so torn whether to punch Stacy London, jam Stacy London, or both Stacy London. - TFox Sep 21, 10:24 3
    - [deleted]
    - donkey punch while jamming her from behind? -- nm - znufrii Sep 21, 10:25 1
      - no, I would really need to hit her in the face. -- nm - TFox Sep 21, 10:27
  - have they ever done a show with a guy? or is it always women? - znufrii Sep 21, 10:10 7
    - yes, a number of guys. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:16 4
      - okay, now I really want to go on the show. - znufrii Sep 21, 10:23 3
        
        they've even done some couples. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:25 2
        
        why don't they show re-runs of *those* shows, then? :) - znufrii Sep 21, 10:27 1
        
        it's a minority of shows for sure. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:29
    - i've seen them do a few guys. -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 10:14 1
      - [deleted]
  - thing is that how on earth do they expect people to keep up that wardrobe after six months. no way can real people afford what they tell you to buy. -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:07 13
    - Who tells you to buy Zubaz? -- nm - con_carne Sep 21, 10:10
    - well, if you buy good clothes, they last longer. and, i've seen shows where people shopped in cheaper stores it's all about the 'rules' not the cost - Andie Sep 21, 10:09 10
      - and WNTW doesn't just send people to higher-end stores (although I did see someone drop $1200 on shoes in a recent re-run) - znufrii Sep 21, 10:13 1
        
        it is worth pointing out that it's mostly the fat people who go to the cheap stores. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:17
      - I have to replace my silk pantaloons every couple of weeks. nm - Dignan Sep 21, 10:11 4

        't had a chance to download that podcast yet - maybe tonight. - Andie Sep 21, 10:13 2
        
        The more I hear the more I think you won't like it. - Dignan Sep 21, 10:20 1
        
        understood. - Andie Sep 21, 10:21
      - officer thinking -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:11
      - I agree, the more expensive stores are often better quality and might last longer. - ty97 Sep 21, 10:11 1
        
        sure they do but they push expensive stuff a lot. I guess they need to keep their product placement contracts going. -- nm - zork Sep 21, 10:12
    - There are $30 versions of those clothes available at Kohl's and Target within months of them being on designer shelves. -- nm - ty97 Sep 21, 10:08
