  - i'd be all for the hashmarks if there was an option to "filter" those out of sight. "hide all # posts" -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:50 1
    - But not put them in the subject rather than the IM? -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:52
The situation is still fluid but the Tampa Bay Rays may be acquiring Rafael Soriano here in the next little bit. - David Dec 9, 13:42
I picture Tiger boning the liposuctioned fat ala Peter Griffin in Family Guy "yes, it's exactly what it looks like" -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 13:40 13

        The putting surface is a little moist, so you should stroke it a bit harder to get it there. nm -- nm - Tiger's Caddy Dec 9, 13:45 3
        
        I hate fixing the ball marks. -- nm - Tiger's Caddy Dec 9, 13:48 2

        What is the #5 tag? -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:45 1
        
        Like 5 iron only Number 5 Durex, see? Like there'd be a different condom depending? - TWuG Dec 9, 13:48
      - if you think I am cleaning THAT up, you are crazy. nm -- nm - Tiger's Caddy Dec 9, 13:43 1

On reading the alleged Tiger texts/sexts: If his golf game was as weak as his mack he'd still be trying for his Tour card. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 13:28 11
- it's like he wanted to remain a rookie. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:41
- He may have bad form, but he apparently gets it in the hole with pretty great frequency. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:34 7
  - That's only because the holes are the size of ice cream tubs. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:35 6
    - ew. I haven't paid attention to all the stories - are they all skanky-seeming? -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:41 5
      - He's got a hottie at home. The criteria for pickin' up strange isn't looks. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:46 3
        
        I was referring to Bery's comment. -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:53
        
        they all kept their mouths shut *really* well... until it was pointless. - TFox Dec 9, 13:47 1
        
        Stupid trashy culture. Mistresses used to be happy with a little hush money. Now book deals pay more. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:49
      - So far they all look kind of skanky (to me) except for the one with Mr. Ed's teeth. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 13:43

So, ST, it looks like I have a weird decision to make. - Jelly Dec 9, 13:26 33
- Take your Mom if your GF doesn't know the person. -- nm - lileve Dec 9, 13:49
- ask if you can have 2 guests -- nm - peglegpete Dec 9, 13:42
- Also, I love the sheer volume of posts asking me who I'd rather nail after the ceremony. - Jelly Dec 9, 13:42 4
  - My answer was as to kelly, because apparently I can't read. - con_carne Dec 9, 13:45 1
    - because we have established that Will is retarded. nm -- nm - Tiger's Caddy Dec 9, 13:46
  - after? -- nm - TFox si Dec 9, 13:44
  - #priorities -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:43
- Which one would you rather have sex with in the coat closet at the reception? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:41 1
  - been there, done that.... - groiny Dec 9, 13:42
- who are you gonna get more action from? - groiny Dec 9, 13:40
- Thank you everyone, for your thoughts and time. -- nm - Jelly Dec 9, 13:40
- GF. No decision. -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 13:38
- The GF. It's up to your friend to invite mom. - musubiwillnotbowdowntopublicpressuresosuckonthat Dec 9, 13:31 4
  - this was my thought as well. -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 13:38
  - this. -- nm - kelly Dec 9, 13:38
  - I like this. My girlfriend and my friend aren't close, so she isn't an automatic yes. -- nm - Jelly Dec 9, 13:33 1
    - girlfriends go to weddings with you regardless of who is getting married. that's the rule #sex -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:41
- Take your girlfriend. If they want your mother there, but expect her to come as your plus 1, that's a bit presumptuous. -- nm - TWuG Dec 9, 13:29
- I wouldn't think it's strange. I would just assume your mom knows people there as well. Invite your mom. -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:29
- perhaps you mother is invited seperatly -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 13:29
- i'd say that it's not on you that your mom didn't get invited. bring the gf. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:28 2
  - exactly, it's not up to him to ask them to add to the guest list, -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:29 1
    - Additionally, it's probably is pretty bad taste to ask to add to the guest list. - musubiwillnotbowdowntopublicpressuresosuckonthat Dec 9, 13:33
- Mom. But maybe drop a hint to the friend and see if you can get her on the guest list. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:27
- why didn't they invite her? if you think your mom really reall wants to go, invite her. your gf will understand -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:27
- have you suggested they invite your mom separately? then you can bring both -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 13:27 2
  - that's what couples getting married like. suggestions from the peanut gallery on who to invite. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:28 1
    - "Can I invite my Mom? #prettyplease" -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:31
- It would seem odd, if your mother is that close to the family in question, that she wouldn't be invited in her own right... -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:27 2
  - One of the biggest families in town - father is the fire chief, etc. - Jelly Dec 9, 13:28 1
    - In that case, take who ever you would feel most comfortable going with. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:30
- i think you should invite your girlfriend. - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:27 1
  - plus, post wedding sex is the best. Option A = good. Option B = creepy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:27
Sweet...the nearby WV racetrack voted over the weekend to add table games (craps, blackjack, roulette and poker). -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:25
it's not realy any of you'r business but for the last couple of houers Will Hunting has been in my living room - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 13:25 2
- This is a family website. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 13:26 1
  - flick - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 13:27

- there was a great episode of 30 Rock about this. (My answer to you question is no.) -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:25
why separate vets? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 13:24 2
- the cats go to a "cats only" vet. -- nm - Callisto Dec 9, 13:25 1
  - (and they are *wonderful*) -- nm - Callisto Dec 9, 13:25
I'm not much of a Coldplay fan, but their "Have Yourself a Merry..." aint half bad -- (link) - Guy Dec 9, 13:21 5
- this is my favorite Sufjan Christmas song -- (link) - Guy Dec 9, 13:25 4
  - and here's a Bright Eyes Christmas track for TFox to shit on -- (link) - Guy Dec 9, 13:26 3
    - you do know that I love Bright Eyes, right? love. a lot. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:26 2
      - i know - i tease - Guy Dec 9, 13:29 1
        
        who is Conor? i only know a dude named Bright Eyes. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:30
I will say this. In reading that Nic Cage article, it sounds like he went above and beyond with her. - David Dec 9, 13:20 [Image] 1
- wowwwww ... isn't he interesting -- nm - JenBro Dec 9, 14:06
Diva, you know you want to read these; -- (link) - Loyola Dec 9, 13:20 4
- "Playgirl magazine claims to have appear to be nude photos of the Woods" (I hope they just mean him, and I hope the NYDN gets a proofreader soon.) nm - b. Dec 9, 13:39 2
  - I hope they mean her. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 13:40 1
    - I understand that, except from her perspective. ;p -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:42
- oh my. you're right. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 13:25
Mop, if you absolutely must use them, put the hash tags in the IM. They'll still get picked up in the search. -- nm - TWuG Dec 9, 13:20 4
- mop, I mean this in the best way possible: you're already annoying enough without hashing. please do not do that. -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:34
- Nothing on ST will ever look as eye-poppingly bad as musubi and zeitgeists Halloween autonicks *shudders* -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:24 1
  - Really? (nm) - musubiwillnotbowdowntopublicpressuresosuckonthat Dec 9, 13:28
- Mop, if you absolutely must use them, I will show no mercy. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:20
I don't see what a hashtag does if every word is already searchable. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:19 41
- CELEBRITY. GOSSIP. CRAP. to me it reads like making everything in caps. -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:22 14
  - i will also note that whoever decided the "look at me!" beginning of the post placement was the smart spot for it was a goofball/idiot. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:23 13
    - It should obviously be in the IM. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:24
    - is this a twitter gripe? Because I agree. Hashtag stuff belongs at the end on twitter, not the beginning. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:24 11
      - i refuse to even entertain the concept of hashtagging on ST by suggesting IM placement. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:25 9
        
        So if somebody does it for their own posts, you'll .... what? Like if I want to make it easier to tron something later, which I have actually done. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:28 6
        
        Yeah, I probably won't hashtag myself, but I don't see the harm if it's in the IM -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:31
        
        I will wield my snark sword, and its blade will fly swift and true! -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:29 4
        
        You are a dork. #mopisharmless (nm) - musubi Dec 9, 13:34 3
        
        if i was being rational.... - TFox Dec 9, 13:38 2
        
        You are still a dork. - musubi Dec 9, 13:42 1
        
        #laughing -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 13:44
        
        ditto -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:25
        
        that's why I was careful to say twitter twice. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:25
      - I think I can happily go through life without knowing what a hashtag is. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 13:25
- It's more a categorization of the post. Tag it "gossip" and you'll see all the Gossip instead of having to know - TWuG Dec 9, 13:21 18
  - Anyway, a bigger problem is some people would use "gossip" and others would use "celebrity news." Without a set of predetermined tags,it's useless. - mara Dec 9, 13:26 1
    - I agree - oblique Dec 9, 13:29
  - But why type the # in front of the word? Instead of just typing the word? - mara Dec 9, 13:22 15
    - to differentiate it from content for the sake of clarity? -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:23 14
      - Maybe that's the case on Twitter. It wouldn't be here. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:24 13
        
        Because: "gossip. Did you hear about Tiger" isn't as friendly as "Did you hear about Tiger? #gossip" -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:26 11
        
        or just "did you hear about Tiger?" people search for gossip more specifically i'd think, - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:28 10
        
        Amen -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:34
        
        I personally don't see the need for tagging here but I also don't see the "Favourite" link being needed but it's there... - oblique Dec 9, 13:30 8
        
        I personally like the favourite system. I use it to keep track of links I can't click on at work so I can check them at home -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:32
        
        Favourite and NSFW use the same system, and it could be easily extended to allow full tagging. - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:31 6
        
        I daresay, you have the more elegant solution. It blends the concept of "starring" in GMail with something like a pos rep vote in other forums. - TFox Dec 9, 13:33 4
        
        I do feel a need to extend it slighty, though. So that we can differentiate L5s and *golf claps*, as it were ... and also "do not like" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:34 3
        
        L5 is the easiest search metric on Dr. STalk possible, golf claps don't need categorization, and neg rep is so... negative. - TFox Dec 9, 13:35 2
        
        I just feel that "Favourite" and "NSFW" need some companionship. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:37 1
        
        You should put a "Favorite" up there for non-canadians. - musubi Dec 9, 13:39
        
        (Your Favourited posts show up on the Your Stats page in the sidebar, and I recently added pagination so you can scroll back ...) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:33
        
        sure, it also helps that we're a fairly insular group with a common and well understood vernacular. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 13:26
- But what if I want to read every post made about Mousehunt? Tagging them with #mousehunt would let me do that -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:21 2
  - So would tagging them with "mousehunt." -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:27
  - Even a post like "That mouse game on Facebook is dumb #mousehunt" -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 13:26
- #dumbass. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:20 3
  - Actually, I am a dumbass. Librarians should know that. It's for when the tag isn't already used in the post. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:21 2
    - No, wait, I'm really a super-duper dumbass. My original thought was use the word as the tag, without the # -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:23 1
      - #superduperdumbass -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:40
I'm at work Hunting! Of course I'm slow -- nm - Remlik, Girl Whisperer Dec 9, 13:19 1
- of course you're slow... - znufrii Dec 9, 13:22
scorpion, Dr S Talk will pick up everything, you just have to select how far back you want to go. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:18 5
- I just saw that, must be new... though I am generating more results on Google still - scorpion Dec 9, 13:23 4
  - see where is says Number of Results: 100? change that -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 9, 13:24 2
    - I should really pay more attention -- nm - scorpion Dec 9, 13:26 1
      - the default search profile is set up that way for quick searches of recent posts, to reduce system load -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:35
  - because there's also a drop-down menu to limit the number of results returned - znufrii Dec 9, 13:24
sitwap: Amazon expanded their 50 for $5 each CDs to 100 $5 albums for December: -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:18 1
