ST Poll: What prime time TV Show would you add a gay character to? -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:17 41
- The Jay Leno Show -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 09:27
- Just for the sake of having a gay character? None. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 1, 09:27 5
  - That was my point. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 09:29 2

      - [deleted]
  - not really just for the heck of it. I was thinking ST could come up with some creative scenarios. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:29
  - We don't understand what you're saying. -- nm - MTV Producers Oct 1, 09:28
- Sesame Street -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 09:23 9
  - You mean in addition to Bert and Ernie? -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:26 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - The two go hand-in-hand. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 1, 09:27
    - There are two things I know. -- nm - Dean Winchester Oct 1, 09:26
  - would be an odd primetime show. and already has (had?) a gay character -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:24 4
    - bert and ernie don't count. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 09:27
    - I always thought something was off about Elmo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:24 2
      - yep, because gay people are off -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:25 1
        
        chill dude, it was a joke. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:25
- Chuck. Lester doesn't count no matter what Awesome's dad thinks. -- nm - TWuG Oct 1, 09:22 2
  - That was probably the best line Bruce Boxleitner has ever gotten to utter in his entire career as an actor. -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 09:24 1
    - It still amazes me just how *perfect* Mr Roboto was as a choice of songs. Perfectly sums up the show. - TWuG Oct 1, 09:28
- That is a difficult way to look at it. Just any show that has a script that will have a new character? - Spawn Oct 1, 09:21
- The McLaughlin Group -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 09:21 1
  - Little secret: They're all gay. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 1, 09:29
- 30 Rock -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:20
- Lost. - JaxSean Oct 1, 09:19 1
  - The character Tom is gay. -- nm - TWuG Oct 1, 09:24
- I would say HIMYM but they already have Ted. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:19 2
  - Actually, the mother being a dude would work well. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:28
  - And "Lesbian Robin". -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:26
- 24 - if they were into taking things seriously and not just this over the top crap they've done lately -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:18 8
  - lately? - ty97 Oct 1, 09:19 7
    - the first two seasons were a lot closer to reality than anything that has happened since, I may have broken up with the show - crash davis Oct 1, 09:21 4
      - star trek is closer to reality than most of 24. -- nm - mafic Oct 1, 09:23 1
        
        Well, Star Trek is set in the future so it might be reality for all we know. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 09:27
      - I ran quickly away several years ago and haven't looked back. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:22
      - I've said this every year since the fifth season, but they always hook me in -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:22
    - Well........in season 4...the mountain lion is the CTU manager. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:20 1
      - No, you're thinking of season 3. The interpersonal conflict of having the mountain lion be Kim's boss really brought the show to life. -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:40
- NCIS -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:18
- a lesbian to any show that already has hot women on it -- nm - zork Oct 1, 09:18
- Top Chef... oh, wait... nevermind -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 1, 09:18
mmmmm the House chick... -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:16 4
- she has pretty eyes -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:17 3
  - Yes she does. -- nm - TWuG Oct 1, 09:29
  - Now this time, look a foot higher on her person. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:17 1
    - no, she does not have a monstrous forehead that is a foot high -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:25
Watched Away We Go last night. B-. - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:15 4
- Eggers/Mendes combo is pretty swell, eh? -- nm - OAE Oct 1, 09:22 3
  - Actually, I was stunned a quality director like Mendes was involved in this. - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:25 2
    - Hmmm. Sorry it rubbed you the wrong way -- almost. -- nm - OAE Oct 1, 09:29
    - Yeah, you are a crazy person. -- nm - kelly Oct 1, 09:26
for those who have the Wii Fit: How long is the avg. workout? How effective do you think it is? -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:15 7
- Very fun. Not terribly effective. - Fuzzy Oct 1, 09:40
- It's not effective for me because it's not a guided workout. I'd be happier if it had a set of things it asked you to do for say 20 minutes - oblique Oct 1, 09:22 1
  - thanks -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:24
- As long as you want it to be. You earn credits for each thing you do and there is a recommended minimum for a workout. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 09:16 3
  - is it something that you feel is great or do you do it for a couple of weeks and then lose interest? -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:17 2
    - It can be great. If you do not work other things in later, it gets old. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:19 1
      - gracis -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:22
[deleted] 1
- what did I do? Oh wait. nevermind. -- nm - sycor Oct 1, 09:20
Remember that milk and eggs I lent you? I want it back. -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:11
It's a dark cloudy day at work today. News at 6:01. - lileve Oct 1, 09:10
*gets ready for his tour of a Hydro dam* -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:10
Awkward work situation - ceregon Oct 1, 09:08 4
- Just cover your ass. -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 09:10 3
  - Yeah, what is it with ceregon being naked at work, anyway? My God, man. Put on a shirt! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 1, 09:13
  - My ass is well covered on this. It's just by escalating this, it creates emails of me warning him and providing documentation that could send him to.. - ceregon Oct 1, 09:11 1
    - Wow. -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 09:14
heh - Remlik, I was thinking the same thing. -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 1, 09:07 [Backboard] 1
- it's not gay if you want to sleep with Batman? -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:10
STIS: Should This Person Be Friended? Back when I was still performing I was doing a Bway National Tour of a show about the Civil War... - Diva Oct 1, 09:06 16
- if you got a creepy vibe, for gosh sakes, listen to it -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:16 1
  - she's already slipped up once with Mel - Beaker Oct 1, 09:16
- Is there any chance this person is just an enabler of her stalker friend? Other than that, do what the STers say. -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 09:12 2
  - That's actually a good question and a distinct possibility, but still... -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 09:21 1
    - I know. Small chance it would make a difference either way. -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 09:23
- no and blocked -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 09:11
- ignore. -- nm - Callisto Oct 1, 09:09
- *passes stalkee torch* -- nm - ceregon Oct 1, 09:09
- Decide My Online Social Network has awesome potential for a fall show. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:08
- No - ignore. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 1, 09:08
- introduce them to ceregon or ignore -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:08 1
  - YSMM :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 1, 09:23
- nope -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 09:08
- Ignore -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:07
- no. -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 09:07
- Ignore. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:07
SITWAP: Quiznos printable coupons. BOGO free sub, $1 off your sub (up to three subs) -- (link) - con_carne Oct 1, 09:04 1
- (expires Oct 26) -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 09:04
Poll: you're having a baby, and you get hand-me-down clothes from a few people. A year later, one of those people asks for the clothes back to sell. - TFox Oct 1, 09:03 28
- possibly that person is in financial difficulty and is searching for ways to get some money, otherwise that's pretty jerky. -- nm - zork Oct 1, 09:18 2
  - That's the only reason I can think of that would explain it. - znufrii Oct 1, 09:20 1
    - or give them everything that's still not being used -- nm - zork Oct 1, 09:22
- Very unreasonable and I tell them it's too late the clothes are gone. You handed them down to someone else. - Krusty Oct 1, 09:08
- Classless. That which lacks class. Schoolhouse in summer. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 1, 09:08
- If they wanted the clothes for a new arrival of their own, then fair enough. But for sale? They have already given them to you. -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:06 1
  - Yeah, "new baby: completely reasonable. "sell": completely unreasonable. -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:21
- Shoot them. -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 09:05
- 1 = very unreasonable; not sure what I'd do ("sorry, gave them away" or "had to throw them out") -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:05 1
  - "we threw them out, they were hideous and we just took them so you wouldn't feel stupid" -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:07
- If they did not tell you upfront, totally unreasonable. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:04 17
  - Outgrown (full disclosure: not me, this is a coworker's situation.) -- nm - TFox Oct 1, 09:07
  - word. we get stuff and then pass it along (Pay It Forward) -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 09:06
  - this is the correct answer. -- nm - Callisto Oct 1, 09:05 14
    - One of our friends saved her sons and is letting us use them. We are appreciative. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:07 13
      - I mean, if I gave that stuff to someone, there is no way I'd expect it back. - Callisto Oct 1, 09:10 12
        
        Well, since it has a built in usage life for us, I can understand her wanting it back. - Spawn Oct 1, 09:15
        
        Right. Not cool at all. And if they were friends, I'd be rather upset. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:11
        
        i am totally agreed on that point. i guess my next question is, given that they are classless jackholes, what next? - TFox Oct 1, 09:11 9
        
        I wouldn't offer to let them come over, I'd just say "if there's anything in particular you think wasn't there let me know and I can look for it". -- nm - Ender Oct 1, 09:24 1
        
        i like this one better - 'lia Oct 1, 09:30
        
        I'd send a similar response, but ask them to describe the clothes rather than coming by (which is an imposition to you) -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:15
        
        I think that's above and beyond what the situation calls for, but is probably good for diffusing a difficult situation. -- nm - Callisto Oct 1, 09:14
        
        See, that's too nice. They don't get any back imo. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:12 4
        
        I'm just not sure it's worth the fight. If it was a bigger item like a crib or jumper, I wouldn't hesitate to return it. - TFox Oct 1, 09:14
        
        Word. They shouldn't have given the clothes away in the first place. If it was a week fine, but it's been a year. -- nm - Krusty Oct 1, 09:13
        
        Has anyone ever accused TFox of that before? -- nm - Roger More Oct 1, 09:13 1
        
        No. In fact, it's one of the signs of the apocolypse, IIRC. -- nm - mara Oct 1, 09:14
John Heffron tickets for wife's birthday: Bought -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 09:01
*nervous* Would anyone want to take a look at my resume before I sent it in? It's been too long since I've had to do this. -- nm -- nm - landbeck Oct 1, 08:59 5
- sure. Hit my name at the yahoo -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 1, 09:20
- I volunteer mara and loosi for this assignment. (Best wishes dude.) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:15
- If nothing else so we can come up with fake alternatives for your job descriptions! -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 09:03
- I'm not very good at critiquing those, so I'll decline. But I do wish you good luck> -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 09:02 1
  - This is me too. I suck at resumes. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:18
Glee spoils and thoughts - Beaker Oct 1, 08:56 3
- oh, the could easily (spoilers) - ty97 Oct 1, 09:00
- It's not like they couldn't cast whoever they wanted to anyway. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 1, 08:57 1
  - true. -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 08:58
[deleted] 21
- and one of those shows has already been canceled. heh. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:08
- "gay/non-human" -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:07
- I love that they list Patty Bouvier. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:04 1
  - I totally forgot about her. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:04
- they missed a few recurring ones from ugly betty -- nm - zork Oct 1, 09:01 3
  - they don't count recurrings in he study -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:05 2
    - Though they do have a list of them. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 09:05 1
      - ahhh, ok -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:07
- I *was* wondering if they'd count anyone who goes after anything with a pulse. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:00 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - I should rephrase. I mean the "hot chick we say is bisexual because it's hot but never have it enter into the story". -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:03 4
      - (i.e. the Bones chick, and I think the House chick) -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:04 3
        
        It did enter into the story on Bones. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 1, 09:05
        
        The Bones chick did have a few episodes last year with a girlfriend. - Will Hunting Oct 1, 09:05 1
        
        I stand corrected. I don't watch it religiously. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 09:06
- *shocked* that CBS is dead last -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 08:58
- as I can't click what was the answer? -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 08:57 4
  - ty97 wins! -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 08:58 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - *beams with pride* yes, I am -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 09:14
  - never mind, checked the BB -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 08:57
Cut and run. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 1, 08:55 1
- It's not quitting. -- nm - Sarah Palin Oct 1, 08:56
