  - I thought abou tjust giving her your number :P -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:08
So happy to see the Phins beat the Pats yesterday, several sports writers asking if this is the beginning of the Pat dynasty decline -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 09:57 14
- they were saying this after the first game this year too. - groiny Dec 7, 09:58 13
  - first time they have lost back t back in 37 months - I do think the cracks are showing -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 09:59 12
    - you know what we haven't done in even longer than that? - TFox Dec 7, 10:01 4
      - Until Gisele and Elin have a knock-down-drag-out that ends in the pool, it's not Dynasty. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 10:04
      - agree. - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:02 2
        
        You, go sit in the corner with Bery. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:05
        
        nice. aTrue but I think it was the Brian B era not the Brady era? -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:04
    - They ain't great anymore; but that's judging them off the basis of what they've done in the past 8 years. - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:01 4
      - You compared the Pats to those two teams *specifically* to make me break something, didn't you? -- nm - TFox Dec 7, 10:02 3
        
        No....but let's be honest....both of them win most years 10-12 games, they throw up 1-2 WTF losses a year and generally are among the better teams. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:04 2
        
        I can almost see the Chargers argument, even though I despise them. - TFox Dec 7, 10:04 1
        
        What's the difference? - Will Hunting Dec 7, 10:06
    - bah. - groiny Dec 7, 10:00 1
      - I guess I dont think of it as good or bad luck - you get beat you get beat -- nm - Capstern Dec 7, 10:03
Not that anyone cares, but I score the retired Lego Duplo Castle last week on eBay (in box!) for less than the new Duplo Castle retail. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:55 7
- in box but unopened/unused? -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:56 1
  - Unopened. The box is banged up but the items are still in-bag inside. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:58
- Billund cheers you -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:56 4
  - Hey, you're Danish, right? You must know some people who work at the factory. You can help me get some rare Lego sets, can't you? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:57 3
    - sure i know lots - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:59 2
      - I bet you can score some pretty sweet breakfast pasteries, too. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 10:00 1
        
        ahh yes i've got a frend who is a backer and "konditor" - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:01
urge to kill. RISING. - x Dec 7, 09:51 16
- unlike you, he's not going there as a tourist. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 10:06
- I wonder if maybe ty97 has simply had his fill of gastrointestinal adventures in his travels? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 09:56 4
  - The first couple of months in this job, I ate out all the time, had a blast, and gained back 25 of the pounds that I had lost. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:59 3
    - eat more Japaneese then - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 10:00 1
      - but where will he hide their skeletons? -- nm - zork Dec 7, 10:02
    - yeah, that's pretty understandable -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 09:59
- oh, I wonder what the NEA has done now? - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:56 5
  - My head also asplode. Never eaten sushi? Surely you've had a california roll/maki-sushi or something before? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 09:58 4
    - never ever. Not a seafood fan (thus, Tokyo and I are not fast friends) -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:59 3
      - Well, there's non-seafood sushi ... vegetarian and egg sushi ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:02 2
        
        the question ultimately is: do you like rice? (and even if you don't, sushi rice is different than normal rice, so you might like it anyway) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 7, 10:03 1
        
        rice is fine, but it's somewhat packed with calories -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:03
- this is an excellent title for a book or movie - zork Dec 7, 09:56 2
  - yogurt is breakfast. blueberry, if they have it, though there's been a derth of it at my normal AM/PM lately. - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:57
  - heh, so it is -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 09:57
- Hmmm, that's not the person I expected to push hyde over the edge. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:52
Sudden thought....do 10-year old boys in colder climes wear scarves/mufflers, or is he just gonna roll his eyes when he opens gramma's package? -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 09:51 4
- he'll roll his eyes, but he'll also wear it. :) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 10:01
- he may roll his eyes at the time but will use it when he has to - zork Dec 7, 09:54
- Face it, if it's not a Bukugan, he's gonna roll his eyes. At least it's not underwear. - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:54
- Yeah, I would say so. can't be uncool looking, though. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:52
Listen to live Air Traffic Controller communications. (an apparent repost of a ty97 post from February) -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:47 9
- oh, cool! I don't think John Wayne Airport was on this the last time I looked..... now I can hear the planes AND the pilots as they fly over us! -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 09:57
- You land one million planes safely. Then you have one little mid-air and you never hear the end of it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:50 3
  - Dr. Loosilu Fever? -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:52 1
    - psst... - zork Dec 7, 09:59 1
  - and one of the parents of the dead kid visits you with a long knife -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:51
- I think listening to this would physically cause my hair to fall out -- nm - con_carne Dec 7, 09:48 2
  - You need to fly United and listen to Channel 9. It's cockpit/tower radio. Awesome. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 7, 09:51 1
    - My favorite is the Jetblue flight with broken landing gear circling LGB, while the passengers watched the news about their flight on TV. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 10:01
- FS X -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:48
ST Poll: You have the first NFL draft pick, but you have to draft a QB. You can force any college QB to declare early if you want. Whom do you pick? -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:45 5
- Tebow! -- nm - Beaker Dec 7, 09:58
- Someone angry. -- nm - Loyola Dec 7, 09:50
- I think I'll take Locker. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:49
- The Georgia who doesn't wear a cup. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:47
- What are our job prospects? Are we under "Win now" or do we get 3-4 years to see how the QB develops? - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:47
DMMP: which medical plan would you choose? - SyrDragon Dec 7, 09:44 3
- Depends on your expections. The first plan out of pocket max for families is higher than the additional cost per month for the second plan. If - pmb Dec 7, 09:48
- all i understood was "another dragon kid in April" - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:47 1

My Stalker kicks all kinds of ass. Thank you, sir. - Agent.Vermin Dec 7, 09:31
speaking of inkjets, I have owned two inkjet printers and both started printing badly after using non-manufacturer's ink cartridges, even if I switche - zork Dec 7, 09:31 25
- it's cheaper to buy a new printer then new ink -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:32 23
  - actually no. The cartridges in new printers are not full, plus that's very bad for the environment. -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:35 22
    - I have had two dead printers setting in my office for... ages. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 09:37 20
      - recykling them saves CO2 -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:37 19
        
        I wonder if they really get recycled? A lot of computer waste gets dumped in Africa. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:41 11
        
        yes thats highly illeagal to do -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:42 2
        
        I'm sure they stop now that you have pointed that out! -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:43 1
        
        well they usually take their licence to trade if they can figure out who send it -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:44
        
        no kidding? -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 09:42 7
        
        no kidding, primarily West Africa (Ghana and NIgeria). -- (link) - loosilu Dec 7, 09:47 4
        
        let Nigeria take it all as punishment for all the spam they send to us -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:50 2
        
        they rebild new PC from the waste put a supid Open Licence mailserver on it and send even MORE spam -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:52
        
        it's the kids scavenging for copper who pay the price. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:51
        
        and another article from NIH. -- (link) - loosilu Dec 7, 09:49
        
        container upon container of waste CRT or PC go that way every year - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:43 1
        
        it's a booming business. they send out the toxic parts. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:51
        
        Electronics recyclers are still a bit of a novelty here. However, if you buy a Dell product they will recycle the old product if you send it back - TWuG Dec 7, 09:39
        
        Sadly, the one place I can take them is semi-far away and has the dumbest hours of operation imaginable. - Spawn Dec 7, 09:38 5
        
        call your local computer place in Bloomington, I bet they might... - Remlik Dec 7, 09:43 3
        
        I don't know if the BestBuy program extends to printers but they take most small electronics... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Dec 7, 09:47
        
        but will the gas burned to drive there and back cause more damage than is recovered by the recycling? -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:44 1
        
        bike ? :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:45
        
        well in my condo building i put the "large" waste at the garbage bins and the janitor takes care of it - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:42
    - electronic waste get's recykled here -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:35
- *fails to see how this is related to Tiger's hos* -- nm - Loyola Dec 7, 09:32
Tiger married in 04. His dad died in 06. Tiger's first kid was born in 07. It's quite possible, if you accept that he was very concerned with his - TWuG Dec 7, 09:29 2
- both my first 2 were wrong reasons but taught me the right reasons fo the 3rd - Capstern Dec 7, 09:36
- given the dicorce rate lots of people get married for the wrong reasons -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:31

- nope -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:31
- Define "rich"... -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 09:30 2
  - I think it's what you want it to be. I'm sure Ivana Trump has a different definition than I do. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:32
  - gwen stefani earworm -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:32
- there is a different set of rules when you marry a celebrity. - groiny Dec 7, 09:30 29
  - I don't think it's a differenty type of rule....as yoru baseball example....just different types of challenges. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:35
  - really? how would we know that? -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 09:30 27
    - let's say you marry a baseball player..... - groiny Dec 7, 09:32 25
      - and what if he works 8 houers a day ? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:34 1
        
        they are still accessible to you every day. - groiny Dec 7, 09:38
      - oh, i agree, and i'm sure it's *hard*. - Elf Andie Dec 7, 09:33
      - on the other hand, some women are in it for the conquest of getting the guy every girl wants. So why is she upset when every girl still wants him - CrankYanker Dec 7, 09:33 1
        
        Becuase he's actively giving it up to those other women when he vowed to be hers alone. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 7, 09:36
      - Yeah, but you'd have the same issue if you married ty. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:33 1
        
        except you know I wasn't get any, so you'd have nothing to worry about -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:34
      - This isn't much differen than any traveling spouse relationship -- nm - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:33 16
        
        possibly, except for the millions of dollars thing. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 09:33 14

        only millionaires get horny or lonely? - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:35 11
        
        gold diggers do not target IT professionals. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 09:38 2
        
        There are gold diggers, and there are star fuckers. - Spawn Dec 7, 09:39
        
        thats is so last decade yes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:39
        
        I bet they have more opportunities and temptations. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:36
        
        People or not throwing themselves at business travelers. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 09:36 6
        
        and I've never met a business man at the airport bar that looked like George Clooney - Epiphany Dec 7, 09:47
        
        oh, those poor helpless victim baseball players. - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:39 4
        
        No one (I think) is saying that it makes it right, just that it's a different situation than most marriages face. -- nm - Dano Dec 7, 09:40
        
        when you are worth 200 million dollars - groiny Dec 7, 09:40 2
        
        nah, you might try to seduce to me and I couldn't possibly control myself. - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:41 1
        
        in order to avoid A, he'd need to quit the thing he is best at and loves most in the world pretty much. - TFox Dec 7, 10:04
        
        so the difference is the size of the wallet and not ant other size? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:34
        
        But your IM says it all. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 09:33
      - If he cheats, would you rather them bang a ho or someone your equal? -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 09:33
    - (i think for some people this is true, but not all) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 7, 09:31
- All other things being equal among the two men, no. - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:29 5
  - why would it necessarily be men we're talking aobut? -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 09:37 3
    - "It is just as easy to love a rich man as a poor one." - adventy97 Dec 7, 09:40
    - (and would your answer change if you we were talking about a rich woman versus a poor one?) -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 09:37 1
      - [deleted]
  - [deleted]
- In general, I agree, all other things being equal. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 09:29
- Shrek is rich. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 09:28
- I agree. - Spawn Dec 7, 09:28
LIR: Yeah, I have lightscribe, I was referring to the printers that print on inkjet CDs (full color and all) -- nm - oblique Dec 7, 09:27 5
- I have a set of those disc because they were on sale but not the printer -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:36
- IIRC most do paper label for those -- (link) - budice Dec 7, 09:30
- well if you can get the ink to dry correctly you would need a printer with dirent go thrugh and suitable for thick cardboard -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:29 2
  - actually, there are printers built to hold, carry, and print on the disc itself, but it seems that nobody here has one. -- nm - zork Dec 7, 09:33 1
    - well there is bound to be :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 7, 09:35
Love means never having to say you're sorry. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 7, 09:25 5
- worst relationship advice of all time. -- nm - loosilu Dec 7, 09:28
