      - Their owner is making a lot more appearances... surprised he doesn't have ads tatooed on his hands and feet -- nm - secretslacker Nov 15, 06:21

  - 1.5 times pay can't be bad. -- nm - secretslacker Nov 15, 05:36 6
    - I wasn't sure if M minded working on the holiday. Upon reread, it looks as though he's cool with it. -- nm - Diva Nov 15, 05:44
    - it's .5 more hookers and crack -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 15, 05:39 4

- why is that troubling? -- nm - pretty awesome pigby Nov 15, 00:02 3
  - Well, more than troubling "amusing" I guess... I found it funny that a court ruled that malls were the successors of town squares... - celedhrymandias Nov 15, 00:05
  - I think he means the Town Square bit. But I kind of agree with the court on that. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 00:04 1
    - Town Squares weren't town squares because they had shops/markets in it... - celedhrymandias Nov 15, 00:35
Hm... Carla Gugino just called the director and star of Disney's "Game Plan".. "artists"... - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:32 7

- Do you live in northern L.A.? See below.... or better yet.... RUN!!!!!!!! -- nm - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:29 5

I need a hint from a female in London or I could buy a dumb Canadian gift. :) -- nm - grammar Nov 14, 23:23 3
- Well, she used to post as "Little Miss Smutty"... - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:29 2
  - I'll be sure to put that on the list. -- nm - grammar Nov 14, 23:39 1
    - Not that it should matter... - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:41
*feels left out of Halo* (the game is unjoinable) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 23:16

  - *whew* I can rest easy now. -- nm - mafic Nov 15, 00:03
  - They airlifted it out of danger. - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:43 2
    - it was probably easier to airlift the house instead of her -- nm - GJOSHGREEN Nov 15, 04:18 1
      - Oh heheheheheheeee! You're so fraskal! -- nm - Trish Nov 15, 05:12
- Finally getting*something* about it online...most stations are still pre-occupied with the Montecito fire. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Nov 14, 23:14
- Up in Sylmar...started 40 minutes ago...some homes threaten -- nm - BAD Nov 14, 23:13 3
  - how is it even fire season there still? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 23:22 2
    - Until we get rain this is the worst time. Homes are burning in Sylmar now. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 14, 23:27 1
      - After the fire season, we get rains and then have mud slide season...houses sliding downhill -- nm - BAD Nov 14, 23:40
So I finally caught the new Hilary Duff music video, Reach Out. One would think a pop princess wouldn't get Jenna Jameson for her video - Mr. Havens Nov 14, 22:55 1
- Dude, it's your birthday... what the fuck are you doing watching Hilary Duff videos? One more hour... go out and get your drink on!! -- nm - secretslacker Nov 14, 22:59
getting caught up on the back boards since i went to work... the HSX Beta site is screwed? - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 14, 21:57 16
- They must have hired mickpix to write code for it. -- nm - secretslacker Nov 14, 22:51
- Nothing special here. It makes sense that after weeks of testing, they'd take it down to apply fixes. -- nm - Mop Nov 14, 22:13 6
  - Sadly, it reads like they don't even *have* fixes. It's just so fubared that they have to scrap it - TWuG Nov 14, 23:52 1
    - Sadly? I'd think that would make some people happy that they might scrap the whole thing. - secretslacker Nov 15, 05:28
  - But this was supposed to be the 'live' version. Testing was in the earlier beta stage. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 14, 22:16 3
    - The beta testing was pretty much a joke. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 14, 23:28 1
      - It was more of a "play with our fancy toy" test, followed by an almost-audible gasp of "oh crap" when they realized we didn't like it -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 00:01
    - No, the private beta wasn't handled properly because it wasn't a working market. - secretslacker Nov 14, 23:07
- Toby is *so* diplomatic...... :) - MojaveMeg Nov 14, 22:03
- I wonder what happens to the poor saps that stuck it out? If they worked their beta ports, it wasn't reflected in their alpha ones, so a whole months - zeitgeist Nov 14, 22:00 1
  - that was going to happen anyway -- nm - TFox Nov 14, 22:02
- And...fraskal is back to posting, under one of his other nicks. -- (link) - Trish Nov 14, 21:59 3
  - So HSX Classic is screwed, too? -- nm - psilotum Nov 14, 22:05 2
    - Well it IS on the movie board and it's not like it was exactly known for intelligent discourse. - Trish Nov 14, 22:09 1
      - One of a set of points on a scale arrived at by dividing a group into parts in order of magnitude. - Cuzzin Todd Channeling Airplane Nov 14, 22:32
- That is an amzing level of failure right there. -- nm - TFox Nov 14, 21:58
does the Max Hotel have any rooms avail for the inauguration? -- nm - pretty awesome pigby Nov 14, 21:50 5
- Probably, but why would you want to be in Seattle for the inauguration? -- (link) - psilotum Nov 14, 22:04 1
  - That's the Hotel Max. He's talking about the Max Hotel. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 14, 22:24
- Can't you just ship yourself in your box? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 14, 21:53 1
  - oh i won't be able to go (Tuesday inauguration?!). just wondering if he's fleecing any poor other suckers who might want to attend -- nm - pretty awesome pigby Nov 14, 21:55
