- Which means you move on to Twitter. Then when she wants to Tweet, you move to the next thing. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 18:34

- Is it the same principle as breaking a slab of concret on somesones chest with a sledge hammer -- nm - Karl_S Dec 8, 18:32 1
  - Yep. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 18:40

  - Your not wrong. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 18:19

        senbt back -- nm - eag Dec 8, 18:35
- A friend has. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 18:12
- Apparently there are no "pieces" involved so far. Just one tactical drap BP dropping off Worker Mice - celedhring Dec 8, 18:01 22
  - Not more as in different, but more as in "less rare", I think. Though there's supposedly a Gingerbread Base, so maybe it means both. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 18:20 14
    - I am debating wether to stay and farm the plans or go farm gold for Ronza and come back later. - celedhring Dec 8, 18:23 13
      - Yeah, I'm going to bounce between the Comet and Derr Dunes. - TWuG Dec 8, 18:26 12
        
        Do you have the ACRONYM? - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:29 11
        
        I got a question - eag Dec 8, 18:33 6
        
        Go sell them in Gnawnia, they really aren't worth hunting with IMO. - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:37 2
        
        How do I sell them? -- nm - eag Dec 8, 18:44 1
        
        Never mind -- nm - eag Dec 8, 18:50
        
        You can go back to a lower area and burn off the cheddar and marble. I think mice in the Lab will eat anything, too. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 18:34 2
        
        If you have a good trap, you can use the target base to make up for the lesser attraction rate of the cheese. -- nm - celedhring Dec 8, 18:37 1
        
        I should probably make the dehydration base even though I have the stone one -- nm - eag Dec 8, 18:46
        
        Not yet. I have the parts, but not the plans because I lack the gold. Now I need the gold for Ronza, so probably early next year for - TWuG Dec 8, 18:30 3
        
        Can I also add how much I love the fact that the... - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:32 2
        
        I like the game's sense of humor. -- nm - celedhring Dec 8, 18:35 1
        
        Some of the decscriptions crack me up. Laughed out loud at the gingerbread cheese description. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:37
  - Ahhhh... then I'll wait to head back until later. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:08
  - Nope but ive now caught my 3rd troll mouse in the last 30 hours - eag Dec 8, 18:07 5
    - I have caught a Worker mouse, it only dropped wood :( -- nm - celedhring Dec 8, 18:12 2
      - All I keep getting as drops are icing - eag Dec 8, 18:15 1
        
        I think that once the plans drop, the other ingredients will start dropping more frequently. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 18:26
    - I just got my 2nd Abominable. Attracted an Ornament, but failed to catch. Pissed. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:08 1
      - Ive attracted several gargoyles but havent caught one -- nm - eag Dec 8, 18:11
It's an annual right of movie studio stupidity... the first oscar screener leaked to the internet on dvd is... - stewie Dec 8, 17:57 8
- Maybe it's not for Best Picture -- nm - Guigue Dec 8, 18:05 5
  - could be... but even a win is a net loss of millions in stolen dvds you created when you didn't have to - stewie Dec 8, 18:08 3
    - I don't know if I buy that a leaked screener equates to millions of lost DVD revenue anymore. - TFox Dec 8, 18:12 2
      - Plus you can't say everyone that downloads a movie wouldn've paid to see it in the theaters, rented it or bought it anyway. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 18:39
      - Redbox has devalued a viewing to $1 a guess...so it's hard to say - stewie Dec 8, 18:15
  - "And the Oscar for Best Thematic Use of a Linebacker Blitz goes to......" (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 18:06
- I've heard of dumber attempts at a candidacy. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 18:00
- "Best Picture nominee Transformers 2" - celedhring Dec 8, 18:00
I think Josh Johnson is great but Neftali Feliz great? Fuck. No. - David Dec 8, 17:56 2
- Honestly, it makes no sense for the Marlins to turn that down. - musubi Dec 8, 18:00 1
  - The Rangers confuse me. The O's inquired about Millwood, and the Rangers asked for Tillman. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 18:37
I am disappointed that World War Z audio disks, doesnt contain all the text from the book -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 17:55 12
- you bought the abridged version? -- nm - J Dec 8, 17:58 4
  - nah. this is the only version -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 18:00 3
    - or maybe not...it says in microscopic print on the back in the bottom left corner: this abridgment was approved by the author -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 18:01 1
      - I hate that, I've accidentally piced up the abridged versions of audiobooks and didn't realize it until the narrative got all jumpy and bare. -- nm - Trish Dec 8, 18:47
    - odd -- nm - J Dec 8, 18:01
- Agreed. I would have loved to hear the Paris Underground or the Chinese Submarine stories -- nm - amoxy Dec 8, 17:57 6
  - Pairs Underground story? I don't remember that. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 18:23
  - gahh, see, I didnt even get that far and I was hoping the Chinese Sub story would at least be -- nm - Jovian Dec 8, 18:07 4
    - Did you hear Mark Hamill describe the battle of Yonkers? - amoxy Dec 8, 18:16 3
      - Loved the mercenary one. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 18:23 2
        
        Love how he rips to shreds, Paris Hilton, Bill Maher and Ann Coulter -- nm - amoxy Dec 8, 18:32 1
        
        yep. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 18:38
Passed the big job exam today, it was on English and image recognition (x-ray). -- nm - Stacy Dec 8, 17:46 3
- It's nice to see positive job news on ST for a change...Congrats!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 17:48 1
  - now I start part 2 of the background check going back the last 10 years, then the health exam, then I'm hired and placed into a job and begin training -- nm - Stacy Dec 8, 17:50
- congrats! -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 17:46

LIR - Tru - who's Woodstock? - JenBro Dec 8, 17:33 5
- hmm, yeah pixie would work. -- nm - Truman Dec 8, 17:37 1
  - And of course you picked Snoopy he was the smartest one even smarter than the kids -- nm - eag Dec 8, 17:43
- If he says me im kicking his kansas ass:) -- nm - eag Dec 8, 17:36
- he's a yellow bird in Peanuts, but that's not important right now. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:34 1
  - wisenheimer ( grin ) -- nm - JenBro Dec 8, 17:35
Thanks guys on b2 Im sure she will be ok - eag Dec 8, 17:32 1

NFL fines Ochocinco $30k for wearing sombrero after scoring TD -- (link) - Beaker Dec 8, 17:32
Tacoma is not that big a town, and now there are 20,000 police officers who have been participating in a memorial service that started 9am and just... - zeitgeist Dec 8, 17:27 3
- Be interesting to see the crime statistics for tonight :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 17:29 1
  - well they are all off duty, but still seeing 2 or 3 cop cars on every street would be unnerving, you realize that those 4 were about 5% of the LPD - zeitgeist Dec 8, 17:36
- The line at Dunkin Donuts will be absurd. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 17:27
Remlik is a disgrace to Midwesterners with his cold-wussiness. Discuss. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:26 6
- Agreed. "Bitter" cold doesn't start until you hit the teens. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 17:31 2
  - I'd argue not even then, that's merely "cold." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 17:44 1
    - I'm using the popular vernacular. -nm - TWuG Dec 8, 18:23
- he is. It may not be the coldest part, but it gets plenty cold. -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 17:30
- he's got no hair on his head - let's let him slide if he does a snow angel - Epiphany Dec 8, 17:29 1
  - that would be a snow archangel. Anyway, don't they have hats in Indy? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:30
Guy, you realize US population grew in that time, right? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 17:26 32
- and Will - my post was that Cowboys v Patriots beats Saints v Colts. - Guy Dec 8, 17:32 3
  - Not even close, not this year -- nm - Stephen Dec 8, 17:45
  - If you give me two undefeated 18 & 0 teams, one involving the Colts....biggest game ever. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 17:33 1
    - Colts vs The City That Was Almost Atlantis? Ginormous. - TFox Dec 8, 17:35
- yes - and you were the one who posted about 2009 having the most viewers. - Guy Dec 8, 17:28 27
  - the point is that of course there are more viewers now, there are more people. - Reagen Dec 8, 17:32 26
    - Where are you getting the 1988 thing? first thing I saw said it's sorta comparable through the last 30 years -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 17:37 1
      - 1978 through 1987 averages a 47.0 rating. 1988 to now averages a 42.2. - Reagen Dec 8, 17:41
    - I don't disagree with your IM. I thought we were debating what matchups bring the biggest % relative to the NFL now. - Guy Dec 8, 17:35 23
      - some teams bring more viewers, but better stories bring even more. - Reagen Dec 8, 17:37 22
        
        the 'story' is important, but so subjective - and my underlying point is that all NFL fans watch the game. that number might grow marginally - Guy Dec 8, 17:41 21
        
        They only care about a "name" because there is a story attached to it. It's absurd to say they don't care about stories. - TFox Dec 8, 17:44 6
        
        you clearly don't understand women -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 17:49 4
        
        you're right. i should learn that their interests can be easily categorized into "knitting", "cats", "things i can fuck", and "sad family dramas". -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:51 3
        
        Then you jump to the next qualifier: how hot are particular players, especially their asses.(Hi Troy!) -- nm - Trish Dec 8, 18:06 1
        
        Silly woman, that falls into the third category. - musubi Dec 8, 18:08
        
        Don't forget "Oprah"! (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 17:53
        
        ("rakishly") -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:47
        
        I think you're wildly underestimating the number of casual fans. Those are precisely the people who'll watch because of a story. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 17:43 13
        
        the other factor worth mentioning is how good the NFL's marketing has become at turning ANY matchup into a 'story' - Guy Dec 8, 17:51 12
        
        so why didn't it work for TB/Oak or NYG/Bal or Phi/NE? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 17:53 11
        
        Women must have been busy knitting. - musubi Dec 8, 17:55 10
        
        excuse me - read my posts - TFox is the one who brought the focus on women. - Guy Dec 8, 18:00 6
        
        Did I miss you posting at least twice on b2 that Romo & Brady are hawt and would bring in women? - Will Hunting Dec 8, 18:03 2
        
        i mean to say "back on women". my case is the casual or non- fans cares about celebrities more than storylines - Guy Dec 8, 18:08 1
        
        I'm not saying you're sexist. I'm saying your argument is nonsensical and wrong. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 18:12
        
        Oh, so this post by you wasn't you posting then? (link) - musubi Dec 8, 18:03 [Backboard] 2
        
        you c&p faster than me. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:03 1
        
        I do a lot of things faster than y....wait, nevermind. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 18:05
        
        That we are trying to discuss casual watching of the Super Bowl without saying the word "commercials" is even funnier. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:56 2
        
        Honestly, ever since the commercials have become such an "event", they've kind sucked. - musubi Dec 8, 17:59 1
        
        This year, I demand more pothole. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 18:00
The transition to Chrome is almost complete. - nubby Dec 8, 17:25 3
- Chrome is the most stable browser I've ever used. IE was twitchy. FF seemed to break with every update - TWuG Dec 8, 17:30 2
  - And provided you have plenty of RAM it fast -- nm - Karl_S Dec 8, 17:43
  - word. no matter how much i overload it, it never crashes on me. - Guy Dec 8, 17:32
Yes! It's the Grinch medley! (I was wrong, "You're a Mean One" isn't a seperate selection, I remember now -- it's in the medley.) -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:25 3
- I like the brass in that. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:27 2
  - Yes! And a really neat chord progression. Really a great song. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:28 1
    - you should learn it for uke! -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:28
"An error occurred while processing this request." Ahhhh the world is going to end -- nm - Karl_S Dec 8, 17:25
erp -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 17:25
here I am, startin' a conversation. - kelly Dec 8, 17:24
Hilarious video from a sumo wrestling computer game. Apparently the characters are so fat, the players find them difficult to control. -- (link) - mara Dec 8, 17:24 [youtube] 1
