Does anyone know any good quotes with the theme of "Go west" or "Come west" etc? -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:18 16
- Well if you ever plan to motor west, Just take my way , that's the highway that's the best. Get your kicks on Route sixty-six. - howie Oct 13, 10:30
- ~ the west is the best / get here and we'll do the rest ~ -- nm - The Doors Oct 13, 10:22 1

      - Go to (the west of) hell. :P -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 13, 10:24
ST Sandwich Poll -- Roast beef & Havarti, Ham & Cheddar, or Turkey & Swiss -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 10:15 19
- without knowing what havarti is, ham and swiss is my vote -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 13, 10:25 5
  - havarti is an awesome cheese ... very good on sandwiches. Softer than swiss, but just as flavourful. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:26 2
    - It's foolishly underrated. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 10:27 1
      - esp. with dill. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 10:27
  - it's a mild, soft cheese, commonly with dill or other herbs mixed in... -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 10:26 1
    - My sammich knowledge is expanded - SyrDragon Oct 13, 10:32
- Turkey & Swiss -- nm - Qale Oct 13, 10:22

  - sure, if you want to spend half of your lunch break standing in line at the sandwich station to get one. - znufrii Oct 13, 10:18 2
    - I spaced. I thought we were just asking what we had. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 10:23 1
      - sounds good, though. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 10:23
- Roast beef and Havarti -- nm - Epiphany Oct 13, 10:17
- Mmm, roast beef & havarti sounds wonderful. -- nm - nubby Oct 13, 10:17
- The beef. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:16
- today, turkey swiss. but it's a toss-up between that and ham&cheddar, usually. I don't like roast beast sammiches. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:16
mickpix would be a shoe-in to win this pageant -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:12 1
- I'm glad they gave it to one of the ugly ones. The looker or two in the bunch can turn tricks. - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 10:18
Did you know that the newest Call of Duty game is out on November 10th? I am literally counting down the days. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:10 11
- I'd make an Italian style joke about Ireland's rich military history, but I'm afraid someone would put a bomb under my car. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 10:22 2
  - Ireland does have a rich military history - but a lot of it was co-opted by the English -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 10:26 1
    - (I shouldn't say co-opted - but there are plenty of battles won by Irish regiments - and Scots and Welsh - serving with the English army) -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 10:28
- I can't wait!!! Easily my most anticipated game right now. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 10:14
- how many days is that, literally? -- nm - CQ Oct 13, 10:12 2
  - Literally too many. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:13 1
    - One of my coworkers is equally as excited about it. XBL Tag: TallTom311, if I recall correctly -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:14
- Joke post? -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 10:11
- I thought it was November 11th? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:10 2
  - Remembrance Day? How appropriate. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 10:16
  - I remember it because they did the release date like a countdown; 11/10/09 -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:13
Uncharted 2 in hand!! The best part was that I had paid in full using store credit when I preordered, and since then the price dropped $10... - Shaun Oct 13, 10:08 9
- Still trying to decide if I wait a few weeks for this (and try to finish Demon Soul - which may be impossible) or buy it now. -- nm - decline Oct 13, 10:12 8
  - Speaking of hard games, I am blown away by how hard Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia is on the DS. It's awesome. - TFox Oct 13, 10:17 3
    - You will need to get a current-gen system soon then since there is a Castlevania game coming out next year iirc. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 10:19 2
      - They haven't captured the 2D awesomeness in the 3D games yet, IMO. The PS2 game was pretty okish. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 10:22 1
        
        Some info about the new one for you. -- (link) - Shaun Oct 13, 10:26
  - It is actually that hard huh? Wow. Not for the weak then. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 10:14 1
    - It's very hard, but what I am starting to find tiring is the fact you start over at the beginning of the level when you die - decline Oct 13, 10:29
  - i am gonna rent demon souls, but dragon age origins is now on my radar. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 10:13 1
    - I think after Borderlands and the GOW collection, I might be done with new games for awhile. Darksiders has potential though. -- nm - Shaun Oct 13, 10:15
If FX was smart, they'd look into picking up Southland. -- nm - Jovian Oct 13, 10:05
GEORGE TAKEI will be on the Newlywed game today on GSN -- nm - peglegpete Oct 13, 10:03 1

LYC: Jacen survived Day 1 of daycare. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 10:01 6
- At 1pm? Is it morningcare? -- nm - nubby Oct 13, 10:09 1
  - He's, for now, just going 3 days a week in the mornings to give SheFox time to do her job search, and get him (and us) used to it. - TFox Oct 13, 10:11
- Sweet. Lil' Vermin will have her first day of daycare sometime after Thanksgiving. - Dr.Vermin Oct 13, 10:09
- did he have any problem being left when he was dropped off? -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 13, 10:05 1
  - They said he cried a few times, but nothing that concerned them, so that's good. We'll see if he's still excited when we get there tomorrow. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 10:06
- You just picked him up now after dropping him off yesterday? Bad TFox! -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 10:04

sitwap. weather effecting clouds, or aliens? -- (link) - tRuMaN Oct 13, 09:59 10
- You know what surprises me most about that video? How "normal" that Moscow highway looks. - TWuG Oct 13, 10:03 6
  - I've noticed that about a lot of highway scenery I've seen - in Mexico and on the Amazing Race. Very american-like. - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:06 5
    - they are highways, and cars. i'm not sure how else it COULD look, really. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 10:10 4
      - the signage is consistent and familiar, as opposed to foreign and alien. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:13
      - you know, communist! -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 10:12
      - Different signage for on/off ramps. No billboards. -- nm - TWuG Oct 13, 10:12 1
        
        Traffic signs are pretty much standardised - the words change, but the colour schemes are (generally) consistent -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 10:15
- Totally clouds since they aren't swirling and pulsing with green laser lights. -- nm - Qale Oct 13, 10:01 1
  - They probably have their laser guns set to invisible. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:02
- Without even clicking; Aliens. -- nm - Loyola Oct 13, 10:00
man, my fingers look WAY more pudgy on camera than they do in real life -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:59 1
- "How many cameras did they have on you, Monica?" -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 13, 10:27

STIF: Do you have to live in the specific town you want a PO Box in? -- nm - lileve Oct 13, 09:45 2
- a lot of places rent out PO Boxes, you can have one anywhere. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 09:49 1
  - around here, shipping companies rent them out ... so do post offices, especially for businesses -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:52
RE: naked scanner-- those are worse than the ones in the US - Scorpion Oct 13, 09:43 28
- Here's the TSA version -- (link) - Scorpion Oct 13, 10:02 [Image]
- "The images are not erotic or pornographic and they cannot be stored or captured in any way," she said. - Inigo Oct 13, 09:51 24
  - It's being administered by T-Mobile Sidekick. -- nm - Dano Oct 13, 09:55 1
    - "We wouldn't store your data even if you wanted us to!" -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:55
  - Yeah, I'm pretty sure a "positive" imkage showing contraband, etc would almost be required as evidence in the case against the person. - TWuG Oct 13, 09:54 12
    - Not really, they could just take the contraband off the person. THAT's the evidence. -- nm - Ender Oct 13, 10:02 3
      - My guess is that the border security people have to demonstrate why they chose to search that person -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 10:07 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        It's not like cops have to provide an air sample when they have a driver do a sobriety test because they smelled booze. -- nm - Ender Oct 13, 10:11
    - and with El Al, if you're not at at the check in counter at least three hours before the plane leaves, you're probably not getting on. - mafic Oct 13, 09:57
    - Oh, you know how El Al deals with hijackers? - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:55
    - probably not, since they'd actually *have* the contraband. -- nm - mafic Oct 13, 09:55 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        but wouldn't they need to prove why they initiated a search? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:06 3
        
        it's airport security, searching people is what they do. - mafic Oct 13, 10:10
        
        [deleted]
        
        (Silly question - it's the TSA. They don't need to prove nuthin'.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 10:07
  - *takes digital photograph of scanner screen* -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:52 8
    - but in the end it'll be like watching the scrambled porn channels. - mafic Oct 13, 09:54 5
      - You know, when I was twelve, purple boob took you most of the way there. -- nm - Qale Oct 13, 10:03
      - Oh, sure. But people will still steal the pictures. -- nm - Inigo Oct 13, 09:55 2
        
        sure, but if you're concerned about it, you can just have the airport security guy grope you instead. - mafic Oct 13, 10:02 1
        
        Oh, I'm not concerned. I just think the spokeswoman's overconfidence is unrealistic. -- nm - Inigo Oct 13, 10:04
      - The fact that we all know what you're referring to just proves the lengths we will go to in order to see boobies of any kind -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 09:55
    - Yup, they're underestimating the ingenuity of pervy dudes. -- nm - Inigo Oct 13, 09:53
    - *ding* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:52
- nudity is not, in and of itself, pornographic. - znufrii Oct 13, 09:45 1
  - Yeah right. -- nm - Puritan Americans Oct 13, 09:48
Apple Insider opens the spector of possible sabotage in the failure of the Sidekick, but worse than that... - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 09:41 1

[deleted] 5
- You should have said "Yesh" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 09:46
- I usually mix whisky or wine with coke at parties, to similar effect. -- nm - celedhring Oct 13, 09:41

  - leaf -- nm - amoxy Oct 13, 09:39

    - [deleted] 7
      - also drafting a law to address a specific type of fraud doesn't give any recourse against the original perp. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 09:56 1
        
        [deleted]
      - in an ideal world, we'd need only one law. - znufrii Oct 13, 09:47 4
        
        "If everyone had manners, we wouldn't need laws." - Andie Oct 13, 09:52
        
        In your ideal world everyone apperantly has the exact same view of the world and "dick" is no longer a subjective term. - TWuG Oct 13, 09:51
        
        But from watching Team America, I learned that... -- nm - ty97 si Oct 13, 09:50 1
