CBC News: Woman awarded $7K for unwanted hugs and kisses -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:41 1
- ...from Tiger Woods -- nm - Dano Dec 9, 14:42
I don't understand the opposition to tagging posts on ST. People are being contrarian to the point of irrationality. - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:37 17
- First, I think people were bitching about you using annoying hashtags for no good reason since there's no tagging system yet - Guigue Dec 9, 14:45
- i dont understand why ST needs to become yet another information site. people come here for a wide variety of discussion. not just 3 topics. - Guy Dec 9, 14:42 1
  - Because people complain about all the "fantasy" posts and people complain about all the reposts and people lament about... - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:46
- FWIW, I'm not averse to tagging, but it ought not be in the subject and should probably be restricted to searching, not applied to how boards are - TWuG Dec 9, 14:41 1
  - I have no desire to use hashtags in my post, but right now I'm fired up enough to poke in the eye anyone so adamantly opposed. - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:43
- imho, it's a great solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 14:40 2
  - This concise, sensible post is obviously an attempt to throw ST off its game -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:41 1
    - I like to throw a curveball every once in a while. -- nm - znufrii Dec 9, 14:42
- Did you see my post down below? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:37 8
  - (And what you're suggesting, a filter beside the board jumper, would completely break the "board" concept) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:39 5
    - Disagree. 150 posts and the board rolls. Nothing changes there. - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:42 4
      - but, to use your example... - znufrii Dec 9, 14:43
      - Except you didn't write the logic for board rolling. You don't know how it's handled on the back end. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:42 2
        
        Plus it's a message board, not a blog. If every post about Tiger Woods is tagged, you'll get the original message and all subsequent answers on the - Guigue Dec 9, 14:47
        
        Can you make pre-defined Dr. S. Talk search links like the one I'm going to put below in the link section? -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:45
  - I don't see what "GUNT" has to do with anything. - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:38 1
    - A little further down than that. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:40
yeah, seeger's little drummer boy cover is great -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 14:36 1

- bery has gone plaid. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 9, 14:33
- Mop has done and broke Bery -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 14:33 2
  - He's inventing new words by the minute. "Thundersex" will be M-W Word of the Year for 2010. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:38 1
    - It's not Thundersex. It's *THURDERSEX*. It's from SNL. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:39
this is great - "The True Story of Orrin Hatch's Hanukkah Song" nm but: -- (link) - b. Dec 9, 14:16 2
- nice articlee. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 14:23
- nyt story on it. nm but: -- (link) - b. Dec 9, 14:19
director of New Moon coming to the defense of the girl arrested for taping during the film... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 9, 14:15 4
- I actually didn't mind the parts of New Moon that Edward wasn't in. I've decided that he's the weak link. -- nm - Dano Dec 9, 14:20 3
  - He's definitely the one I have the most issue with, casting-wise. - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:31
  - i think I agree with this, sort of. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 14:28 1
    - I kind of liked (spoilers) - Dano Dec 9, 14:33
Best post on B11 -- (link) - Todd Manning Dec 9, 14:13 [Backboard] 5
- You're welcome. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 14:33
- "She's pretty," said one 17-year-old who took French with her. - Guy Dec 9, 14:24
- "they both look well above the Tiger Line" heh - *golf clap* -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 14:21
- Here's hoping Alini Brito does some photo shoots. -- nm - David Dec 9, 14:21
- I'm pretty sure it was all downhill from that STPOTD. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:14
ugh. i hate 'hitting a wall' at 2 PM. i was fine this morning, but ready to pass out at my desk now -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 14:11 2
- Doesn't your employer have 2pm nap time?? - amoxy Dec 9, 14:13 1
  - i would take a pay cut for that -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 14:19
[deleted] 5
- yes, cause I go by the billable hour -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 9, 14:33
- That billable number also understates by a good bit actual time (especially when you become a partner). - pmb Dec 9, 14:31
- 37.5 a week officially probably 33 - 35 real -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 14:17
- at the location? probably 45. working? I bet it's closer to 55. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 14:13
- 45-50 a week. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 14:07
In college, I had a friend who referred to white women that dated black guys as "mud sharks". I've never heard this before or since. You? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 14:07 23
- no, but it's easy enough to gain meaning from context. - znufrii Dec 9, 14:32
- white supremists call non aryans 'mud people' so I'd consider your 'friend' to be neo nazi, was he a skinhead? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 14:09 3
  - "mud eople" you mean like the once God created in his own image from mud? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 9, 14:25
  - Air Force Reserve. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 14:21
  - i wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly not the least racist term I've ever heard. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 14:12
- I have seen like one black person in the last 5/6 years. Not counting tv. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 14:09 9
  - I saw a black person today. In fact, he served me food at McDonalds. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:29 5
    - Oh no wait, I got a taxi home a few months ago and a black guy was driving. - Loyola Dec 9, 14:36 1
      - All the cab drivers here are east indian or persian -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:37
    - It's posts like these that remind me I live where I do, and it's waaay different than most of ST :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 14:32 2
      - There's a growing number of hispanic people in Victoria, which I find interesting. Still, they're easily outnumbered by the asians :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:34 1
        
        You know, this could either mean better restaurants, or restaurants that will kill you :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 14:36
  - where do you live? -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 14:29 1
    - Ireland. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 14:36
  - they are like Oompa Loompas. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:10
- [deleted] 7
  - potato queens -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:13 6
    - that sounds like women who like irishmen, not black men. - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:16 1
      - (This is true. We literally have to break branches off trees to beat them away) -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 14:20
    - [deleted] 3
      - I think I first heard it about seven or eight years ago? (in Australia) -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:15 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Oh well. Poor RC -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:26
sigh, I cannot remember where to get single audit requirements based upon a cfda number. - tRuMaN Dec 9, 14:06
dear etailers: enough with the daily/more-than-daily messages. thanks, b. -- nm - b. Dec 9, 14:00 1
- it annoys me when they say its to be notified of special deals etc but instead its a daily sameo sameo nothing special at all -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 14:08
The reason that twitter had to resort to hashtags, and the new /via and /cc notations, is because the twitter concept itself is so limiting - Beryllium Dec 9, 13:57 6
- I insist on both "favourite" and "favorite" links. Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I feel like a Canadian. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 14:40
- Can you explain to me why they are called "hashtags" and not just "tags"? - musubi Dec 9, 14:11 2
  - the octothorpe symbol (#) is commonly referred to as the hash mark or the pound symbol. hashtags are tags that start with a hash mark. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:11 1
    - Thank you. That was really bugging me. - musubi Dec 9, 14:13
- Perhaps tagging in the sense of how blogger does it would be more appropriate? - scorpion Dec 9, 14:09 1
  - that's something that I could implement. However, I'm not totally keen on that interface ... but I do like the idea of making it not-in-your-face. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:10
tiger related: has anyone noticed that none of the women Tiger has allegedly been with is black? Is that surprising or no? -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:56 45
- None are Asian either. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 14:34
- Yeah, you'd think, statistically speaking, he'd have had one by now. -- nm - Loyola Dec 9, 14:07 2
  - They probably have the good sense to keep quiet. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:09 1
    - that's racist! -- nm - Max Dec 9, 14:28
- black guys like white girls?! -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 14:01 5
  - So Undercover Brother tells us. But it also tells us that black people don't like mayonnaise. -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:05 3
    - "where all the white women at?" nm -- nm - Blazing Saddles Dec 9, 14:05 2
      - Word. Credit where credit is due. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:15 1
        
        But that was really about stereotypical white insecurity, more than anything -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 14:18
  - thay it ain't tho! -- nm - Ice T Dec 9, 14:05
- [deleted] 1
  - I was wondering. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 14:12
- No more so than that none of them is Thai. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:58
- Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tiger does not identify as black -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:58 4
  - He was always my example when I was doing classes, and had to explain HMDA Regulations for asking race. - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:01
  - sure he does. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 13:58 2
    - he's called himself "Cablinasian" -- nm - b. Dec 9, 14:02
    - (Hmm. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else...) -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 14:01
- more surprising: none of them are good looking. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:58 24
  - Yup. I'm really disappointed in Little Tiger. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:58 23
    - I don't get this. I think people are more commenting on their skankiness than looks (it's not the same). - pmb Dec 9, 14:05 22
      - I haven't found any of them but the porn stars attractive. -- nm - David Dec 9, 14:09 8
        
        I haven't seen the porn stars. But others are good looking. - pmb Dec 9, 14:22 7
        
        I don't agree. The ones I've seen are fair to middling attractive-wise. - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:27
        
        I've seen you say this a couple of times, but I'm just not with you on this. Both Jungers and Uchitel are skanks in too much makeup. - David Dec 9, 14:26 5
        
        In the photos I've seen, Jungers look very cute, not skanky at all -- nm - Guigue Dec 9, 14:35 1
        
        The one from Vegas (or that I saw photos of her in Vegas) was cute. *Cute*. - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:41
        
        I think your reaction would be different if you saw them in real life. - pmb Dec 9, 14:28 2
        
        I'm just not with you on this. I'd find them more attractive in real life only if I liked them personally. Physically, they're meh to me. - David Dec 9, 14:36
        
        If anything, I'm betting they look better in the touched-up photos than in real life. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:29
      - I haven't seen all of them, but the first few I saw were not very good looking. - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:08
      - some of them have good camera angles, sure. Some of them are Jennifer Tilley scary. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:07
      - I think one out of 8? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:06 1
        
        It's more than one. - pmb Dec 9, 14:08
      - [deleted] 8
        
        I am just saying, if you are gonna ruin your marriage, make it worth it. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:07 7
        
        If I'm a billionaire, I'm getting hotter tail chasing me (than those I've seen), that's for sure. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:09 6
        
        Rich people *stay* rich by spending smarter. The hotter the chick, the more she will cost you in the long run. - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 14:26 1
        
        heh -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:28
        
        I have better looking women than this hit on me and that's not hyperbole. WTF, Tiger? -- nm - David Dec 9, 14:21
        
        I tried explaining this yesterday and was looked at all dumb like. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:10 2
        
        It helps if you don't say that without rubbing yourself at the same time. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 14:18
        
        ... on account of your face. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 14:15
- Are any Japanese? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:57
- no. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 13:57
Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Love Actually" can be considered a Christmas movie, yes? -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:54 12
- a GREAT Christmas Movie (IMHO) -- nm - JenBro Dec 9, 13:59
- Absolutely! -- nm - kelly Dec 9, 13:56
- sure -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 13:56
- Thanks all. It's about time I've seen it, and seems like a good time now. -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 13:55 1
  - the g/f wanted to watch it the other night. in David approved Full Screen and I said hell no. so I ordered the wide screen one -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 14:11
- yepyep. -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:55
- yes. and it's dude approved. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 13:55
- barely. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 13:55 1
  - keep it up, and you'll be '/~all alone on christmas..'/~ -- nm - b. Dec 9, 13:56
- Oh sure. -- nm - Diva Dec 9, 13:54
- It certainly is in our house. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:54
- Yes. -- nm - Callisto Dec 9, 13:54
What's with the # marks? -- nm - lileve Dec 9, 13:53 6
- don't say pound. nm -- nm - Tiger, post 7 iron to the head Dec 9, 13:54
- #Mopper -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:53 4
  - No, just would like to know what it's about. -- nm - lileve Dec 9, 13:55 3
    - Kind of hard to explain. It's a Twitter thing called hashtags, used to classify posts. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 13:56 2
      - It's how Twitter tracks "trending" topics. Mop is trying to institute it on ST, basically. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:57 1
        
        Thanks. We're not twitter. Thank god. -- nm - lileve Dec 9, 14:00
#hash# -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 13:52 3
- OpieHo - JenBro Dec 9, 14:00
- Yes please. Got a light? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:53
- #smoke# -- nm - Guy Dec 9, 13:53
Let's just call them 'Visting Pre-Citizens'. #sarcasm #immigration #first - Agent.Vermin Dec 9, 13:52
