      - heh. Honestly its the 'suicidal' Megaton residents bug, that really has me annoyed nm - Jovian Nov 12, 10:28
Tangental: I'm of the opinion that Heinz is a food group, and anything I put it on is merely a ketchup conveyance. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:13 2

DMWP: Mario Kart or Guitar Hero World Tour? - musubi Nov 12, 10:11 16
- I like GH much more (haven't done World Tour but I assume it's similar to Rock Band, and I *love* that.) - kelly Nov 12, 10:21 2

let's play office outrage yet again. should I be outraged here? - job fair exhibitors love mandy lane Nov 12, 10:09 8

Since ST is divided on Mayonaise/MiracleWhip, is there division between Ketchups? For me, it's Heinz Ketchup or nothing. - JaxSean Nov 12, 10:07 23

- Eh. I prefer Heinz, but I'll buy/eat pretty much any brand out there. -- nm - kelly Nov 12, 10:12
- agreed. -- nm - Remlik Nov 12, 10:11
- I'll take any but I generally go for sliced tomatoes and mustard on burgers and relish or kraut on dogs. -- nm - Max Nov 12, 10:11
- this is one of the strongest brand loyalties out there. I like hunts every now and again, but usually heinz if I eat it. - job fair exhibitors love mandy lane Nov 12, 10:11

LIR: Pippy: Oil companies can just shut down a refinery or two "for maintenance" to cut supplies and boost prices. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 12, 10:00 4
- gas prices, not oil prices. Pippy is into supply-side conspiracy theories :) -- nm - oblique Nov 12, 10:01 3
  - My theory is that the US pulled some strings and got OPEC to go full-throttle with oil production, causing the price drop ... - Beryllium Nov 12, 10:06 1
    - the price drop is largely demand driven. when people start scaling back growth forecasts in asia, europe and the us it doesn't take.... - x Nov 12, 10:11

I'm sure there's nothing to do in the vicinity of the Miami airport, right? - ty97 Nov 12, 09:52 8

I am having a slurpee before 10am. I managed to control myself and only get the smallest size. I guess that's something good, right? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 09:45 10
- Yeah, I have the biggest sweet tooth, but the idea of eating them this early is unappealing to me -- nm - con_carne Nov 12, 09:51

  - mountain dew blue shock, with a bit of Crush Lime -- nm - Beryllium Nov 12, 09:49 4
