- where is it written that persuasion is part of their job description? I'd rather let the public form their own opinion based on reported news - Max Nov 3, 13:28 2
  - What else is the editorial part of the newspaper for? -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:29 1
    - Lining birdcages. and part of the issue is that Fox is more editorial than news. hey, I have opinions and type on the internet, give me a press pass -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:31
life gets weird - Widower in drag uses dead wife's ID for gym: report - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 3, 13:18 1
- Wasn't me. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:23
I see the Brits are in a huff again about the EU. Maybe it's time the EU just said "F*ck off" to Britain. -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:17 4
- Also, it's surprising how many bridges Cameron is burning before he even gets elected. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:18 3
  - There's no organised party further to the right that will take seats away from the Conservatives. And the EU needs the UK (and vice versa) -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 13:21 2
    - Voters may stay home. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:23 1
      - Possibly. But they may also attract voters who would otherwise vote Lib Dem or even Labor - Roger More Nov 3, 13:28
lyc work rant - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:17 9
- Wait, she tried to slap you multiple times and wasn't fired? -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:28 1
  - his company isn't so healthy function-wise. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 13:29
- ugh- that's awful. -- nm - AG si Nov 3, 13:25
- Attempted to slap you?? You need to set up a video camera. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:25 1
  - that was 3 yrs or so ago, I told her to go ahead, I would own this business and her house by the time the lawsuits were over - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:27

AT&T sues Verizon over the "There's a map for that" commercials. -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:14 4
- When I first heard that commercial, my first thought, once I realized it wasn't an AT&T commercial was, "That's a lawsuit, right there." (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:17 3
  - It's perfectly legitimate to use the phrase in a critical way. AT&T's concern is that the maps shown by Verizon suggest no coverage whatsoever. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:20 1
    - I just read the snippet you linked. My though it that the lawsuit would be about trademark infringment, not truthiness of the maps. - musubi Nov 3, 13:24
  - All I know is that in this part of the country, they are 100% correct. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 13:19

- Yowza -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 13:12
I've been watching V on Syfy, and realized that almost nobody in it had a career afterwards except for some minor B film or tv roles -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 13:08 9
- I noticed that when the opening credits rolled. No "names" really. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 13:19
- Robert Englund had a pretty solid career. Micheal Ironside has a nice one as a character actor. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 13:15 1
  - but yeah....Julie and Gooder...not so much though he's done a ton of B movies. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 13:15
- That jumped out at me yesterday too. I think though a lot of people would recognize Lane Smith by face if not by name. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:11
- C'mon. Freddy Krueger! -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:11 4
  - note that I used the words: almost nobody -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 13:19
  - It's pretty much just him and Michael Ironside. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 13:14 2
    - Lane Smith and Micheal Wright (played Omar on OZ not The Wire)...wright's been in a ton of stuff...but he's one of those... - Remlik Nov 3, 13:17 1
      - After Englund and Ironside I think the most recognizable was probably Jason Bernard. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 13:35
yeah, tea-bagger is *exactly* like the n-word. - ty97 Nov 3, 13:02 3
- Don't be hateful! -- nm - Dr.Vermin, highly offended Nov 3, 13:06
- ...... it is hurtful to eunuchs. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:04 1
  - (... but then again, maybe the eunuchs should stop playing halo. damn babies.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:07
Who's a big Media Center user here? Have you used DVRmstookbox? -- (link) - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:00
nubby around? my company was mentioned in a SC news spot about "Spock Monkeys" (made using a yarn kit we sell) - Guy Nov 3, 12:59 1

  - Translation: He got her pregnant, paid for her abortion, and feels guilty about her resulting depression... -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 13:11 2
    - this says so much more about z than it does about the writer... -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:12 1
      - It's definitely a lock for strangest reply of the week. -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:22
  - and, can't you block people? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 13:10 7
    - Have the email go directly to trash? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 13:12 6
      - just mark it as spam a few times and it should do it itself, and if it's phone texts and he REALLY wants them to stop, then get a new number. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 13:20 3
        
        That's not fair. Knowing guys, he's probably enabling them somehow. Marking them as spam might get them into trouble, or lock them out of their acco -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:22 2
        
        Eff all of you effing spammers! -- nm - zeitgeist si Nov 3, 13:27 1
        
        heh. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:35
      - Or, make a folder called "Ego Time!" -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:13

  - But we can't. He's too awesome. -- nm - Vast Numbers of Party Girls si Nov 3, 13:06 2
    - I want to play his phallus like the flute of the Pied Piper of yore, and let it's erect melody attract a plethora of other party girls. -- nm - party girl si Nov 3, 13:08
    - Either he's packin or he's lyin - Trick or Pippy Nov 3, 13:07
- The gf has obviously encouraged the party girls to tempt him as a test. He should hire someone to seduce the gf as a test too. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:05
- set up a password for your e-mail and delete the text messages after you've read them. She'll never know, easy peasy -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 13:02

  - I think you're a very attractive man. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:06
  - Listen to what this one chick wants to do with me... Is that even physically possible? -- nm - dude Nov 3, 13:04
- Here, let me dip into my extensive experience with this sort of problem... -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:00
- And my real answer: he hasn't told these women to stop, which is going to end up being the real problem. - TFox Nov 3, 13:00 4
  - Kudos for being graphic about it? - Spawn Nov 3, 13:03 1
    - I think being honest, considering he didn't write it, is actually the right play with many women. But, like, in tandem with that... - TFox Nov 3, 13:05
  - Myriad numbers of party girls are just not taking 'no' for an answer!! What should I do?!! -- nm - AG si Nov 3, 13:02 1
    - (granted, I didn't really say 'no' technically. I just neglected to respond hoping they would (read: wouldn't) get the hint..." - AG si Nov 3, 13:04

odd ... police are recommending that drivers shouldn't swerve to avoid deer. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 3, 12:49 9
- That's always been true. "See a deer, do not veer." - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 13:08
- Well, yeah, an oncoming car or a large tree will certainly do more damage. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:07 1
  - ...but an empty lane or a shallow ditch would still be the way to go. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:12
- F*CK YOU, DEER! -- nm - The Japanese Nov 3, 13:05

I watched Superman/Batman: Public Enemies this past weekend and was pleased with it overall -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 12:47 5
- I really should watch this. It's got a slew of DC heroes and the art is very Ed McGuiness. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:21
- I have not. The book was one of my favs. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:49 3
  - They kind of redrew Power Girl's face to look like Allison Mack who voiced her. - crash davis Nov 3, 12:53 2
