I'm happy that I can go back to watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." - Krusty Nov 5, 08:24 4
- [deleted] 2
  - My gf laughed hard after I read that to her. She loves it! -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 08:32
  - :-) I must have had like 10 different things that I had to do or I felt like things would go wrong. My ocd was out of control during the playoffs. - Krusty Nov 5, 08:30
- heh-heh... -- nm - Godzilla si Nov 5, 08:27
Oddly enough, I'm going to buy New Balance shoes vs. Nike because they manufacture in the US - oblique Nov 5, 08:19 16
- i did the same. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Nov 5, 08:32
- Haven't bought new shoes like this in a long time, but IIRC I always though NB were more comfortable compared to Nikes. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 5, 08:28
- I feel like NB last longer and are better for walking. I prefer Nike since all I care about is how they look, hence my multiple pairs of Jordans. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 08:25
- I haven't bought Nike in 10 years. They're the anti cool. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 08:24
- Why is this odd? - Spawn Nov 5, 08:20 10
  - Yes, I gently reminded him of this fact when he posted about it before. :) -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:25
  - because he can not see his feet anyway. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 5, 08:23 1
    - -13 *flexes* - oblique Nov 5, 08:24
  - only because it generally does not factor into my thinking -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 08:21 6
    - Hmm. I just go and see what is on sale. If I find something Ilike, I buy. - Spawn Nov 5, 08:23 5
      - For it's more, "Do you have it in 14? Are they not indescribably ugly? I'll take them." -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 08:27 3
        
        yep. (Though I'm the opposite side. Do you have size 6? No? How about this one?) - Callisto Nov 5, 08:34 2
        
        well, when sale time rolls around, my size sells out pretty quick. (8) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:37 1
        
        I think right now is a tough time for shopping, too, because retailers are generally keeping their inventories low -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:39
      - Globalization has ensured that we pay as little attention as possible to the country of a product's manufacture -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:27
- I only wear NB because they fit better, and Nike gives me terrible blisters. And I also love that they are US made. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:20
google.ca's logo is fun today -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:18
Vacationing in Almaty in January seems to me like vacationing in Winnipeg... in January. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 08:13 1
- except more mountains and less polar bears -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:18
Brock Lesnar is suffering from Mono...the rescheduled fight for Jan may get pushed again. -- nm - Remlik Nov 5, 08:00 11

- oh, c'mon. mono doesn't last three months. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 08:01 9
  - [deleted] 2

      - [deleted]
  - I had it for a year. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:09
  - I was pretty much told not to do any strenuous exercise for 6 weeks after I got sick with it the 2nd time (very mild) - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:03 3
    - and the weight he's gonna lose is gonna take a ton to put back on. -- nm - Remlik Nov 5, 08:08 2
      - training schedule will be screwed up and you never really shake it. it can affect you for the rest of your life -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:13 1
        
        Which is what he gets for joining the wrong group. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:14
  - Cock Chestner is weak. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:02
Modern Warfare 2 leaked on the torrents. -- nm - Remlik Nov 5, 07:59
ST Poll: do you know how to read the pronunciations given in dictionaries, etc.? -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:55 11
- No. Happy Birthday to Mrs. Zork - lileve Nov 5, 08:01 2
  - thanks. the place that she did that work for wants her back. It's just a matter of getting approvals and when it would happen -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:07 1
    - Oh cool. I hope it's quick! -- nm - lileve Nov 5, 08:08
- Each dictionary is different. I always check the key to make sure. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 07:56 1
  - "ooh, A-minor." -- nm - Max Nov 5, 08:00
- yes. I'm a little rusty on my IPA, but dictionary phonetics are pretty simplified... -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 07:56 3
  - Interparty Agreement? -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:13 2
    - India Pale Ale (Mmmmmmm...) -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:36
    - International Phonetic Alphabet -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:15
- yes. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:56
- noʊ -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:55
wait - I can pre order the newest Star Trek movie from Wal-mart for $ 10? - and lyc: they cancelled Trauma - e Nov 5, 07:55 6
- yeah, I got Trek and Potter. That is a great deal. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 07:57
- I'm ordering Star Trek, A&D, Harry Potter and Terminator (for the brother) and I'm pissed about Trauma too! -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 07:56 4
  - they cancelled Trauma after that opening this week? -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 07:57 3
    - that was awesome! and it has a pretty hawt cast - sad to see it go - they did jump the shark with the Halloween episode though -- nm - e Nov 5, 08:00
    - Haven't seen this week's episode, but you can spoil. NBC didn't order more eps than the original 13 -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 07:58 1
      - Bring back Standoff -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 08:03
[deleted] 19
- Who cares what he says? We won. *drinks more champagne at desk* -- nm - Godzilla si Nov 5, 08:26
- He's not really saying anything different that someone on a losing team would say. -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 08:04 12
  - Exactly. What's he supposed to say? "They're way better than us. We didn't even deserve to be on the same filed as them." -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 08:06 11
    - [deleted] 10
      - Except for the I didn't perform stuff, that sounds... a lot like what he said - Roger More Nov 5, 08:12 9
        
        "If you ignore the part where we sucked (which just happened to be when it mattered the most), we're obviously the better team." -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:19 1
        
        Unless this is just TFox bait, I guess you won't be satisfied without a signed apology. -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 08:37
        
        The whole faux outrage that people get when an athlete says he wants to win drives me nuts. - Reagen Nov 5, 08:16 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I don't blame the Yankees for wanting to win, I simply don't want them to. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 08:21 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I haven't had a passionate rooting interest *for* a team in over a decade - Reagen Nov 5, 08:26
        
        The payroll is more than enough to earn my Yankee hate. - Spawn Nov 5, 08:24
        
        Yep. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 08:16
- I think that boy's on the drugs. The Yanks made him eat his words. The best team won, deal with it. - Krusty Nov 5, 08:00
- even I'm not *that* delusional. - znufrii Nov 5, 07:54 2
  - so more like Tom Waits, then? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 07:55
  - true, Jimmy Rollins is totally wrong. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 07:55
- Jimmy Rollins is totally right. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 07:54
sitwap: Fla. baby missing for 5 days found alive under bed - tRuMaN Nov 5, 07:52 7
- Not even in the attic? - Spawn Nov 5, 08:19
- what a totally weird story. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:18
- look, it can happen. you're having wild sex on the bed, baby bounces between the wall and the bed. they probably found lots of stuff they had 'lost' -- nm - Max Nov 5, 08:02 2
  - I think the dingo put it under there. Effin dingos. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:06 1
    - heeee -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:20
- Holy crap. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 07:57
- were they recently on Wife Swap? -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:53
Because ST is super smart .......Excel Help needed.. - Walt_Disney Nov 5, 07:51 6
- just name the tabs with the day numbers and change the name of the workbook to suit the month as each new month comes up -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:09
- It's easier to just type the tabs, isn't it? -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 07:56
- They would need to write a macro to do it -- nm - decline Nov 5, 07:56
- I've done this but it required a bit of programming. Or the usual copy and paste with manual update of the 1 2 3 4 5 where necessary -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 07:53
- like a "fill series" type of thing for the tab names? nu uh, unless you do it in VBA -- nm - zork Nov 5, 07:53
- The tabs are the names of the worksheets? Suck it up and type them -- nm - Roger More Nov 5, 07:53
[deleted] 42
- I adore them, they Rock. Was listening to this mashup just this morning. -- (link) - LMS Nov 5, 08:05
- [deleted] 1
  - *nods* -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:16
- Sweet. I will have Amy snag it for me. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 07:55
- wait ... you say that like it's a good thing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:53 11
  - FWIW I never got a Depeche Mode vibe from Pendulum. They're more like if Muse were a drum and bass band. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:16 3
    - It feels like they write theme songs for Japanese animes that never were. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 08:22
    - Ugh. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:18
    - ah, that's not so bad. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:17
  - [deleted] 6
    - I've got my Smiths queued up. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:56 5
      - did you pay $200 like me for the remastered Smiths albums on vinyl -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 08:00 4
        
        Smiths = overrated -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:01 3
        
        Depends on which Smith, doesn't it? Ozzie Smith is NOT overrated. Kevin Smith might be. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 08:08 2
        
        I watched Mr & Mrs Smith again yesterday. I likes them. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:12 1
        
        Alex Smith, we are still waiting on -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:13
- I read the subject, and then the IM, but they don't seem to have any relation to each other...? -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 07:49 25
  - [deleted] 24
    - You poor forced-to-be-80s-defending old people... -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 07:54 19
      - Dude...the 80s rocked. The fashion was hot, the bands were hotter. What the hell is wrong with you!!! - Jim Nov 5, 07:58 13
        
        I love Psych because Psych loves the 80s. -- nm - Max Nov 5, 08:05
        
        i loved the 80s! -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 07:59 11
        
        I love the 80s. It's Depeche Mode I hate. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:08 7
        
        *cries deep inside* -- nm - e Nov 5, 08:11 6
        
        love: Smiths, the Cure, Joy Division. hate: New Order, DM. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:12 5
        
        we are opposites on these - e Nov 5, 08:18 3
        
        your IM makes it better. OMG, I have a pic. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:19 2
        
        yeah, I need that! - e Nov 5, 08:24 1
        
        ygcatmail. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:33
        
        Debbie Gibson and Tiffany and Christopher Cross! -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:13
        
        How could you not? The rise of rap music, the plethora of 1 hit wonders. The leg warmers and big hair??? - Jim Nov 5, 08:05 2
        
        big CRIMPED hair!!! - zork Nov 5, 08:12
        
        It's the eighties and I'm down with the ladies -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 08:06
      - yo. I was there in the 80s and they sucked then. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:54 4
        
        Hmm. Is there a period of time you have lived in that you would say does not suck? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 07:58 3
        
        the period before I met you. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:59 2
        
        So, the 80s? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:00 1
        
        *smears peanut butter on spawn and loosi* -- nm - zork Nov 5, 08:14
    - Znufrii....TFox is being difficult, can you voice your support for ML's position? Thx in advance. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 07:53 3
      - I mean, really. What do you think the chances are that znufrii isn't a big Depeche Mode fan? -- nm - Inigo Nov 5, 08:00 2
        
        Depeche Mode plays songs from obscure 1940's musicals in piano bars? - TFox Nov 5, 08:04
        
        Exactly, there's like only a 1% chance this isn't already the case...and I'm sure for comedy sake, znu can sell out 1% of his values. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:02
ST's Word Of The Day - ty97 Nov 5, 07:44 2
- Is there any correlation between this word-of-the-day selection, and any of the backboard threads? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 07:46
- stratigraphic units? -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 07:45
along with the collisions with Flash Forward Supernatural Grey's Anatomy CSI The Border -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 07:43
Inflate my stats! (Unless you clicked yesterday.) My latest workblog post is about a website called The Book of Odds: -- (link) - mara Nov 5, 07:37
"with or without view". hee!!! -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:36 2
- stealing that for FB. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 07:38 1
  - *allows* :) -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 5, 07:51
it looks like according to zap2it there are new Bones and Fringe episodes tonight -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 5, 07:35 6
- *hopes the PVR records them* -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 07:38 5
  - TiVo thinks it's stull baseball. I guess I'll have to set it manually to record... like I'm frikkin' Amish or something. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 5, 07:47 4
    - What time does your tivo make a daily call? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:00 3
      - It did it at 3AM, so I'm guessing Fox hadn't updated their schedule at that point. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 5, 08:02 2
        
        Ah. I had ours making calls in the late morning for things like this. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:22 1
        
        I suppose I could switch it now that I have it hooked to the cable internet rather than the phone line. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 5, 08:30
