Happy Phobia Day! -- (link) - marcel Oct 13, 09:24 1

NBC pressuring Macy's to pull the Glee float from the parade is going to bite them in the ass. Mark my words. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 09:11
Surely SITWAP: Flash Forward picked up for the season. -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 09:10
Chuck could return early -- (link) - oblique Oct 13, 09:06 10
- Related news: NBC cancells Southland before it premiers -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:07 5
  - In their words "It's too graphic for 9pm, and Leno has all the 10pms" Producers say they have some cable options -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 09:27
  - How bad did they expect it to be...yeesh. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 09:10 2
    - From what I read the ratings continued to dive after they renewed (fairly early in the run) it for season 2. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:16
    - Might show up on TNT -- (link) - oblique Oct 13, 09:12
  - darn, i liked that show -- nm - GWAA Oct 13, 09:09
- if Jay Leno falls off a cliff. -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 09:07 3
  - Not true. And ... didn't his ratings already fall off a cliff? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:07 2
    - but not Jay himself... -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:08 1
      - Chuck's a nice guy, I'm sure he'd save Jay from freefall ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:08
This hurricane season is too boring. I'm going to spice it up a bit by declaring the season officially over without catastrophe as of yesterday. -- nm - Max Oct 13, 09:04 1
- Maybe if you flap your arms real fast... -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 13, 09:06
WTF, my first battery completely died, and now the brand new battery I have (for laptop) says charging but won't go above 0%..so effing annoying -- nm - GWAA Oct 13, 09:04 4
- Maybe the problem isn't your battery? -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:04 1
  - the first battery was deifnitely dead, and it's a common problem from what i've read for this laptop... - GWAA Oct 13, 09:09
- is the power cable broke? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 09:04 1
  - no because I can take my battery out and run on the adapter alone -- nm - GWAA Oct 13, 09:08
ST Poll (kinda gross, but timely): Have you seen anyone cough the new "correct" way (into the elbow)? Or are people still coughing into their hands? -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:00 19
- I like to find the woman with the biggest, bushiest head of hair around and cough right into her mane. - Max Oct 13, 09:26 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 09:27
- I have always tended to cough (or sneeze) into my elbow, so I guess I don't notice if anyone else does it, as it's "normal" for me. -- nm - kelly Oct 13, 09:21 3
  - Yup, me as well. -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 13, 09:24
  - While I've always done the old coughing into the fist, as do many. It's so obviously useless, though, if you think about it even a little. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:24
  - me too, i think. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 09:22
- I thought that was for sneezing. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 09:17 1
  - in germ terms (heh) it's identical. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:18
- I never heard of that before. If I do cough, it'll be into my hand. It's tradition. - Loyola Oct 13, 09:11
- I always wear short-sleeve shorts ... so, no. But then again, I don't cough very often. I sneeze a lot. - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:06 2
  - Why would you be coughing into you leg anyway? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:16 1
    - typo. Shirts. I'm not that bendy ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:46
- I've always done the vampire cough. It seemed stupid to cough into your hand that is then going to touch everything. -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 09:05 1
  - me too. After you're trained in sterile technique it's the only thing taht makes sense, I think. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:18
- I do this, and my dry-cleaner thanks me -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 09:03
- Yes and yes. I've done some damage on the bottles of hand sanitizer around here, though. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 09:03
- I've been coughing into my sleeve for about 2 years. It still seems kind of gross though. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:01 1
  - way less gross than hands if you ask me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 09:19
- I've seen it. I don't do it since I seem to miss my elbow and sneeze all over the floor or myself. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 09:01
*trying to go cafeeine-less* *grouchy and can't focus* -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 08:59 9
- Sorta ^5! Not remotely the same, but I have gone without alcohol for about three weeks now - con_carne Oct 13, 09:08
- oh, it can be bad. baaaaaaaaaaaad. giving up caffeine. - Andie Oct 13, 09:00 2
  - Are you off of it still? It's hard to keep track. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:01 1
    - no, i caved, i'm back on. (caffeine, not coffee.) -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 09:06
- Why bother? -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:00 4
  - Sometimes, it's because you find yourself out and about realizing you want a fix, then you end up spending $X.XX. It adds up. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:22 3
    - I have to realize that not everyone has free work coffee/tea. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:23 2
      - No, I'm specifically talking about when you are not at work. Like needing it all the time. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:25 1
        
        Yeah if you need a coffee that bad, that would suck. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 09:26

- on the downside, less work for the firm = lower bonus for you? -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:06 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - gotcha. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:12
- That sounds very wrong, -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 09:05 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - Any chance this gets looked at again and we see a reversal in this decision? -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 09:16 6

        Seems like the courts have way too much leeway to throw out cases and the plaintiffs won't have a fair opportunity - Krusty Oct 13, 09:27 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I think it's clear who's side they're on and it's making more angry the more I read about the decisions they hand down. - Krusty Oct 13, 09:35 2
        
        just wait until they eviscerate fraud laws by narrowing "the intagible right to honest services" -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:36 1
        
        I was reading about that earlier. I'm not sure I could get more pissed off but wait...there it is! -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 09:37
The sucky part about T-Mobile's Sidekick disaster is that it wasn't their fault. And as much as I hate to say it, MSFT is to blame. - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 08:58 6
- Hey, they named a really, really big bomb after you -- (link) - decline Oct 13, 09:00 1
  - Heh... penetrator. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 09:15
- I'm constantly amazed when large scale enterprises fail to do the most basic systems administration tasks - oblique Oct 13, 08:59 2
  - I'm not. Huge organizations, no matter how high profile or seemingly important, are still run by fallible human beings. -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 09:15 1
    - It's not rocket science though, it's pretty much the bread and butter of this company (in this case) - handling customer data -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:17
- Sidekick victims offered $100 T-Mobile gift card, 1 month of free data and maybe a free phone (hopefully not a new Sidekick). - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 08:59
I guess everyone just figured out that World of Goo is name your price, the website crashed right after I ordered my copy -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:56 2
- Or maybe you just ruin everything you touch. -- nm - Max Oct 13, 08:58 1
  - I seem to have somehow managed to make pixie's FF team worse. Maybe you're right -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:00
Congrats to the Calgary Flames for having one of the most epic hockey chokes in recent memory. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 08:55
The Flaming Lips' Embryonic is one of the more......something...album covers I've seen recently. (you may not want to google this) -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 13, 08:54
I wonder what QB we'll draft this offseason. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:50 7
- Case Keenum! -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 08:57
- [deleted]
- maybe they will trade for brady quinn -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:51 4
  - It'll be a cold day in hell before I root for a Notre Damer. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:52 3
    - No Theismann? -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 08:55 1
      - Nope. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:57

- Me -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 13, 09:40
- Whichever of us gets to them first. -- nm - Jim Oct 13, 09:20
- When I was married, she started out doing it - and handled it very well. - decline Oct 13, 08:57
- Me. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 13, 08:53
- Mrs. Fuzzy is the CFO of our family. -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 13, 08:52 1
  - Heh. I like this. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 08:54
- She does. It's just easier if one person pays them all. - JaxSean Oct 13, 08:51 1
  - Word to your IM. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:51
- both. the rent comes from my chequing account, the cable and electricity is paid by him. we each pay our own phones. - Andie Oct 13, 08:50
- We each have certain bills we are responsible for. -- nm - psilotum Oct 13, 08:50
- She does. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:50
- i did, but when I was married, I made sure she knew how - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:49
- *raises hand* -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 08:48
- I do -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:48
- so me. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:48
*opens ST time capsule, runs screaming* -- nm - 82-year-old znufrii Oct 13, 08:47 8
- "Did I really think anyone would care about my Broadway programs? I was such a fool!" -- nm - 82-year-old znufrii Oct 13, 08:47 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - He's made it this far -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 08:49 5
      - I'm a survivor -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:51 4

        to your IM... - znufrii Oct 13, 08:57 2
        
        ultimate irony: z is successful in getting his brain implant voting-and-feedback chips put into everyone's brain. - TFox Oct 13, 08:59 1
        
        technology is a dangerous thing... -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:09
HIMYM last night, boring - amoxy Oct 13, 08:47 30
- God, yes. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 09:15
- I'd agree it was a bland ep, but I don't necessarily agree with the IM. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:02
- I agree. However, Lily looks particularly hotter this season. I'm not sure why. - JaxSean Oct 13, 09:01 3
  - "They're called boobs, Ed." -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 13, 09:07
  - baby boobies -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:02 1
    - Maybe because they match her chubby head now. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 09:09
- the blonde at the end was quite something, but generally I'm not interested in Marshal's quirks. -- nm - Max Oct 13, 08:54
- It felt too...forced. Why this couple night all of a sudden? This did not happen when Ted and Robin were an item? Parts of it were cute but it didn't - HdnAgnda Oct 13, 08:54
- enjoyable, but nothing special. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:53
- I agree...not liking this season at all right now. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:50
- see, I thought it was their best this season. admittedly not saying much there. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:48 9
  - (also, Big Bang Theory has been on *fire* this season.) (spoils) - TFox Oct 13, 08:50 6
    - That show is extremely unfunny. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 13, 09:02
    - Ehh, probably my least favorite episode of the season for them. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:51 3
      - well, nothing was going to top the "Sheldon training Penny" episode. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:52 2
        
        That was hysterical. - Will Hunting Oct 13, 08:53 1
        
        Yeah, it was great. -- nm - kelly Oct 13, 09:20
    - ayup. glad I started watching it again. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:51
  - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:50
  - i agree -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 13, 08:49
- I loved the (spoils?) - Shaun Oct 13, 08:47 9
  - I loved (spoils) - TFox Oct 13, 08:51 8
    - OK the music montage was cute, but the couples thing felt forced -- nm - amoxy Oct 13, 08:57 6
      - The plot hole there was "Why didn't Robin already go through this with Ted?" -- nm - Ender Oct 13, 09:00 4
        
        cause marshall and lilly werent married then? - tRuMaN Oct 13, 09:06
        
        Y'all never thought this much about the Cosby Show. Just saying. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 09:01 2
        
        The Cosby Show didn't refer back upon itself nearly as often. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 13, 09:02 1
        
        Plus we were kids or teens, not as picky. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 09:04
      - maybe i liked it more because I've really lowered my expectations for that show. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:57
    - Yes! That was funny. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 13, 08:55
Uncharted 2! -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 08:46 5
- (spoils) - Beryllium Oct 13, 08:47
- did not get that preordered. - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:46 3
  - And get Borderlands preordered while you are at it. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 08:50 1
    - i probably will, I have $30 in credit already - tRuMaN Oct 13, 08:52
  - Sounds like a win-win!! -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 08:47
"Man loses shoe in bizarre police chase" ... this would be great if there was video. Oh well. :) -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 13, 08:45
