  - Don't even start -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 11:22
  - as much of a soulless automaton that she is, her body is outstanding. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 11:22 4

      - it's about the total number of pixels. 5000*? vs 1920*1080. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 11:24
      - Got the numbers from their FAQ - decline Oct 2, 11:19 1
        
        well, you didn't say number of pixels total. you said horizontal :) -- nm - oblique Oct 2, 11:25
    - Though nothing anyone here has can display that. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 11:16 1
      - I'd still happily accept a 5K still shot of her. I'll pan around the video in all it's glorious detail -- nm - oblique Oct 2, 11:18
    - all the better to see her booby stretch marks I guess. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 11:16

  - no not him. the lady muckety muck from washington -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 11:11 5
    - Ah, the Homeland Security suit - BB Oct 2, 11:15

ST knows legal stuff: I'm suing someone and after the first round of depositions, they are asking for mediation. Is this good? - ceregon Oct 2, 10:59 7
- [deleted]
- courts always steer people to mediation, if you have a very good case then ask for arbitration which is binding, mediation is like couples counciling -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 11:04
- Figures she has no case and will get a better deal in mediation. I wouldn't go for it. But then I'm not legal expert. -- nm - lileve Oct 2, 11:02 3
  - But did you stay at a Holiday Inn last night? -- nm - BB Oct 2, 11:25
  - mediation isn't binding. if the parties can't reach a mediated settlement, they just walk away from the table. it actually often helps to clarify - shamu Oct 2, 11:04 1
    - Good to know. -- nm - lileve Oct 2, 11:28
- i don't know if it's good or bad. it seems to be more of a standard pre-trial thing lately (both parties have an interest in avoiding costly trials) -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 11:01
friday hax chat wedding etiquette q: the invitation was "BYOB" yay or nay? - shamu Oct 2, 10:56 19
- Meh, it's better than a completely dry wedding. I've had friends who've literally tailgated a wedding before. Because there was no alcohol in the reception hall. -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 11:27
- I just had this happen to me, actually. I vote tacky. nm - Dignan Oct 2, 11:05 5
  - seriously, pmb. what was up with that? -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 11:06 4
    - It's in Calgary, too. Maybe Reagen can be my proxy. nm - Dignan Oct 2, 11:10 3
      - OK, but where am I going to find a goat and a midget on such short notice? - Reagen Oct 2, 11:13 2
        
        Those are provided. It's just the beer you have to bring yourself. -- nm - Dano Oct 2, 11:16 1
        
        It specifically says BYOBG&M. nm - Dignan Oct 2, 11:20
- I don't find this shocking. Call the bride or groom and see what they advise in terms of logistics. If you just show up with some bottles... - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 11:03 1
  - *pours fo'ty on the curb in memory of my dead homies* -- nm - Don Homer Oct 2, 11:04
- "How do I tell them that we just want cash?" -- nm - oblique Oct 2, 11:03
- its a version of a pot luck, most eq books say tacky but its common in the midwest and working poor areas - zeitgeist Oct 2, 11:03
- I don't know the rest of the story. Are these people on a shoe string budget for the wedding? - amoxy Oct 2, 11:02
- If these people are important enough to you that you want to celebrate their wedding, then deal with it. - ty97 Oct 2, 11:01
- I don't think the guests should BYOB - but I'd like to know what type of wedding reception it is. If it's really informal, then just go with it and - Roger More Oct 2, 11:00
- I've been to a wedding reception that was a bbq. It covers the whole spectrum. This is only tacky if the reception is at the Waldorf in NYC. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 2, 11:00
- should have done cash bar. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 11:00
- Odd, but not a deal breaker. Sounds like the whole thing is less formal overall. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:59
- that's not the guests' job. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 2, 10:58
- Cheaper than a cash bar, for everyone. Doesn't seem like a big deal. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 10:58

Vermin - I agree. *thunderclap* People are too quick to lay blame or give credit on things like this. - Reagen Oct 2, 10:53 5
- Sweet! I will even say that I don't agree with the criticism of Obama for going in the first place. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 10:58 4
  - (and I never had a problem with Bush's "vacations" other than the stupid brush clearing photo ops) -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 11:02
  - Thank you. -- nm - amoxy Oct 2, 11:00
  - apparently he met with McCrystal while he was over there. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 10:58 1

- so . . . chocolate? - shamu Oct 2, 10:52 2
  - No, it doesn't really taste like normal chocolate ice cream...I don't know how to explain it, though. -- nm - kelly Oct 2, 10:53 1
    - Dairy Queen used to have this blended drink called Frozen Hot Chocolate. I choose to believe it tastes like this. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 2, 10:58

I'm wondering about quitting Ika too. If I just go inactive, should I quit the alliance first? -- nm - mara Oct 2, 10:50 7
- I must be inactive by now -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 2, 11:23
- offer up your account, maybe someone on the dotcom or dot org wants to start with something instead of nothing, its allowed -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 11:06 1
  - ~ You want to be starting something, you got to be starting something ~ -- nm - MJ Oct 2, 11:08
- I last logged in about 2 weeks ago, jsut didn't seem anything else to do -- nm - amoxy Oct 2, 11:01
- why not just set vacation? That way if you change your mind, your account will still be there. -- nm - decline Oct 2, 10:55
- Do what Will did if you're gonna quit. -- nm - Inigo Oct 2, 10:54
