This week's episode of Life is set during Black Friday? Could this show be any cooler? -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 14:36 1

oops... i meant to say "Leviticus is a guide to keeping a very small number of people FROM dying off" - Guy Nov 13, 14:30 4

- "Never did George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt. Martin Luther King Jr. or Ronald Reagan arouse so much raw emotion." - Guy Nov 13, 14:50 3
  - Lincoln didn't arouse as much raw emotion? are more than 11 states seceding this time? -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 14:53
  - It's just mind boggling that somehow the leap is made from some people being excited about the guy to him being like Hitler -- nm - Subversive Nov 13, 14:52
  - i also love that they found these tiny pictures of Obama with his chin up, as if thats his constant state of being. - Guy Nov 13, 14:52

    - Left wing talk radio? That exists? -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:53 2

      - indeed. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 13, 14:55
  - That's okay, apparently we're also supposed to be feeling guilty about being so hard on George W. Bush's failings as a president. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:49
  - yep. they're using every reactionary paranoia trick in the book -- nm - Guy Nov 13, 14:47
  - A good leader speaks like a retard and the people's opinion of him has to go from "bearable" to "despicable" -- nm - Guigue Nov 13, 14:46
  - I'm not sure our country is used to having a candidate that some people are excited to vote for. -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 14:42 1
    - it is weird -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 13, 14:48
- Is this really Hawthorne's blog? -- nm - Guigue Nov 13, 14:38 4

  - but I need you Bery - crash davis Nov 13, 14:34 1
    - I'm already a Buzzsaw Kitty Alum. You need to convince David and Truman to switcht heir logos. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 14:37
SITWAP: Have we seen the plastic soldier Halloween costume? -- (link) - mara Nov 13, 14:28 [flickr] 1

- BTW, thanks again to Bery for the RSS feed for replies. I never miss replies to me now. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 14:21
The men of Desperate Housewives seemed to be cursed - Jesse Metcalfe falls off balcony.... -- (link) - Andie - 41 shopping days till X-mas Nov 13, 14:20 5
- Steven Culp was in almost every network show DH season 1 [Jag, Star Trek, ER, DH, and 2 others I cannot remember] and he's been almost nowhere since -- nm - peglegpete Nov 13, 14:24 1
  - West Wing! -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:32
- If they sign up Jeffrey Dean Morgan, even for a guest shot, I'm gonna be pissed. -- nm - Trish Nov 13, 14:22 2
  - *gasp* do not even think so evil thoughts - I am still upset about Brian Kinny falling off his motorcyle -- nm - Pippy Nov 13, 14:28 1
    - Did you join that FB group I found? "Stop killing Jeffrey Dean Morgan". - Trish Nov 13, 14:33
A gallery of female body-builders. -- (link) - mara Nov 13, 14:13 7
- [deleted]
- I'm afraid to ask how you found this. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:14 5
  - Most, if not all, of my links are from blogs I read. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 14:14 4
    - nmb the chicks in this thread - Trish Nov 13, 14:27
    - mmm hmmm, sure. ;P Also, most of those women look like warning ads for why tanning beds are bad. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:15 2
      - nmbLoosilu - Pippy Nov 13, 14:17 1

    - why in the world was there not a confidentiality clause on that mess? - Pippy Nov 13, 14:21
    - I have no idea what an ounce of pot costs, so I'll declare victory in this quiz ;) -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 14:19 1
      - and reading that story, I'm flabbergasted that it was seven years ago that it started... - crash davis Nov 13, 14:20
Ok I need ST/TT good thoughts - eag Nov 13, 14:08 9
- good thoughts to you, too! -- nm - b! Nov 13, 14:58

Tru if you want to dance with the devil in the pale moonlight tonight I'm up for Halo after 10p -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:08 8
- I won't be able to tonight, so you two are safe....for now. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 14:10 6
  - Oh puh-lease. When your boss (i.e. The Trishinator) lets you off the leash come find us. - Remlik Nov 13, 14:12 5
    - you know, I could probably if I limited it to one hour, but I have no will power and always end up playing longer -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 14:13 4
      - that's because we provide you the male comarderie that you sorely lack being trapped in Camp Trish. - Remlik Nov 13, 14:16 3
        
        now you're just trying to bait her -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 14:18 2
        
        Me? Nevvvvveeerrrrrr. ok maybe a little. just a touch. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:20 1
        
        answer your phone, asshat! -- nm - Trish Nov 13, 14:35
- Yeh I can play a few rounds tonight -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:10
Twilight is going to be Titanic for the teens. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:05 42
- [deleted] 1
  - I should have actually typed "Twilight *could* be Titanic for the teens." Until I hear of some screenings, I still think it looks like crap. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:22
- The more I think about Australia, the more I wonder if it's going to be Titanic. - Mop Nov 13, 14:10 3
  - Austrailia will be an epic bomb, imo. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:15
  - Im thinking Cold Mountain or English Patient vibe -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:13 1
    - cold mountain vibe, crossed with Sky Captain vibe -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 14:14
- Speaking of Titanic, it doesn't look like Mamma Mia! is going to pass it in the UK. -- nm - Dano Nov 13, 14:08
- Teens are going to be Titanic at Twilight. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 13, 14:08
- Twilight is overhyped and after an explosive start will crumble and fall under its own weight of disappointed teenage girls. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:07 26
  - Girls are going crazy over it. *c-r-a-z-y* - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:10 1
    - Which will make the disappointment that much more stronger of a sting. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14
  - don't forget the 20-30ish goth milfs. they're gonna go. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:08 23
    - I doubt it. Unless they still shop at Hot Topic and if that's the case ick! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:12
    - And normal milfs like my wife and half the women in this company, whose men apparently aren't getting it done and so they need Vampequin paperbacks. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:10 6
      - wouldn't goth milfs be too cool for it? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:13 4
        
        negative. So negative. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:17
        
        The only women I know who aren't freaking about Twilight are still tweaking over the New Kids concert last week. - TFox Nov 13, 14:15 2
        
        Good grief. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 14:33
        
        um, nice to meet you I guess. I never even heard of it till last week. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:16
      - HAHAHA! That's funny. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:13
    - Ive heard its for people who have outgrown Harry Potter - eag Nov 13, 14:09 14
      - No, I think for that it's being overhyped. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:12 12
        
        heck, any youth-centric series that shows the slightest bit of popularity is going to be heralded as "the next Harry Potter" for the next 10 years - znufrii Nov 13, 14:13 11
        
        Alot of movies have tried but there is still only one - eag Nov 13, 14:14 2
        
        I think "they're" referring to the books, not the movies. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:19 1
        
        But it holds true for both -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:23
        
        Actually my series of NaNoWriMo novels are going to be "the next Harry Potter" -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Dumbledore! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:17
        
        the fact it knocked Potter out of the top spot on the bestseller list (at least once if not twice), that helped. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:14 4
        
        It would have been interesting had HPOT6 had opened in november when it should have -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:16 3
        
        Twilight is attempting to fill that vaccum. That's precisely when it went from a buzz to epic. Will it succeed? No. It still looks ugly as a Magnolia - Qale Nov 13, 14:20 1
        
        I think the movie needs to be good to great for it to succeed, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:22
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:17
      - It seems completely inadequate for the task. Besides Harry Potter's getting plenty dark enough as its going along. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:10
- I probably ought to preorder SheFox's tickets for opening night now, right? Just in case. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:07
- Titanic was Titanic for the teens. -- nm - Max Nov 13, 14:06
- [deleted] 4
  - Titanic was Titanic for everyone in addition to being Titanic for the teens. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:07 3
    - I think the teens kept Titanic afloat, so to speak. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:09 1
      - Stick to your day job:) - eag Nov 13, 14:18
    - I don't think this will appeal to as many adults as Titanic did though. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:09
Gotta love the US Postal Service. -- (link) - znufrii Nov 13, 14:01 9
- I don't buy it. Easiest shit to prank ever. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:03 8
  - I call shenanigans. It's clearly marked "Returned for Postage", and if the USPS was going to do this, they would have taken the 39 cents as well. -- nm - TaurusII Nov 13, 14:06 5
    - plausible theory - znufrii Nov 13, 14:08 4
      - I wonder how much 39 cents (or, really, 44 cents) would add to the weight? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 13, 14:12 2
        
        that's a very good question. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 14:16 1
        
        Here's the answer: 23.938 grams = 0.844 ounces. So about 5/6 of an ounce. So 44 cents would not have been enough. -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 13, 14:18
      - where it fails for me is the "girlfriend's" desk. it looks like they're trying too hard to be convincing that it's actually a female who owns it. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 14:11
  - As in, it is stamped "returned", not delivered, and both the "tip taking" and "delivery" are taking homeboy's word for it. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:04
  - still funny, even if it is faked. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 14:04
[deleted] 1
- Let it begin! LET IT BEGIN!!! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 14:05
