From the "People have too much time on their hands" files: World of Warcraft expansion level limit reached in 27 hours, cleared of content in 3 days -- (link) - oblique Nov 17, 08:16 1
- in nongeek terms? -- nm - nubby Nov 17, 08:19
I had an experience over the weekend that made me think of Dano - ty97 Nov 17, 08:14 2
- dude. iphone. iphone. why do we have picturemail if not for random hotties? -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 17, 08:17

LYC: as expected, neither my parents nor anyone else has my immunization record. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:07 24
- can't you just call your doctor? I'd start there. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:12 12
  - *smacks forehead* why didn't I think of that? - loosilu Nov 17, 08:12 11
    - And they just said "sorry, can't help you?" -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:17 4
      - not in those exact words, but they do not have my record. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:18 3
        
        I'm not sure how it was when we were kids, but today when take our kids to a new doctor, they request info from the previous doctor. - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:21 2
        
        childhood pediatrician: dead. adolescent doc: also dead. Schools: do not keep records that long. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:22 1
        
        Well then, I guess - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:23
    - you are starting to develop some type of weird st-immuno reaction which causes unpredictiable forehead slapping. did you get your immunization shot? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 17, 08:15
    - they can do a blood test and see if you have antibodies and be able to tell you if you need certain ones. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 08:13 4
      - yeah, that's the next step. I'm on hold with the travel clinic to see if I can do that. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:14
      - Wow...neat. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:13 1
        
        yep, when I got Hep B vaccine at the blood lab, they did a test to be sure the vaccine worked. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:14
      - (that's how i got mine updated - the test indicated i had already got twinrix and something else.) -- nm - El Fandie Nov 17, 08:13
- sorry. The only place I know of that would have those records would be my elementary school and, yeah, - CrankYanker Nov 17, 08:11 2
  - wow, that's a long way for my records to go. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:12 1
    - ;-) I deserve that. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 17, 08:14
- Isn't the easy answer "go get them all and then you have a record"? -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:09 4
  - indeed, I was just hoping not to get injected with 8 vaccines. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:11 2
    - Well, there is a good chance you need them if you can't remember being vaccinated. - TFox Nov 17, 08:13 1
      - oh, I remember being vaccinated, I just don't have the fucking yellow card. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 08:19
  - Uh... this is loosi. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:10

- Considering EW gave it a D-, I would not bother. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:07 5
  - EW is staffed with sour grouches. - colin Nov 17, 08:13
  - That's one of my films! And reviews have been mostly good. -- nm - LMS Nov 17, 08:13 1
    - Ah. Well, with that subject matter it was a pass for me. And agreed, EW is seldom right. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:17
  - hmmm, Yahoo critics gave it a B and Yahoo users gave it an A. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 17, 08:08 1
    - Has shades seen it yet? -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:10

  - oh, I'm wearing jeans. this mod is all about jeans. I have way too many classes to give a rat's ass how I look. - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 17, 08:13
  - That is her outfit. -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 08:03

As far as procedural shows goes, I think Cold Case casts the hottest 1-episode guest stars - ty97 Nov 17, 08:01
I choose live oral. -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 17, 08:00 2

LYC: apparently my DAD does not hang up on me. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 07:57
SITWAP: Your list of the 75 movie adapations of comic books currently in some stage of development. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 07:57 5
- Actually, Remlik let COMIC go inot hands of someone that doesn't even post to TT/ST. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 07:58 4
  - That's ... very sad. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 08:02 3
    - I agreed, until the collapase of HSX. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:05 2
      - It's like the ending of an era, though. I mean, that's like Bear Bryant handing the reigns to Ray Perkins. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 08:12 1
        
        I'll admit, I kinda wanted it back and was annoyed when I learned the DMac had outsourced it (so to speak). - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:16
I'm not sure what 24 degrees celsius is, but it's toasty in this room. - ty97 Nov 17, 07:56 5
- google "24 celsius in fahrenheit" - JaxSean Nov 17, 07:58 3
  - yeah, I know, but it's fun to *not* know. (btw googling 24 c in f works too) - ty97 Nov 17, 07:59 1
    - knowing the conversion formula and figuring it out in your head works, too. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:02
  - hah, I win. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 07:58
- approx. 75 degrees F -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 07:57
Looks like I'll be at Target on Black Friday. Dual screen 7" portable DVD player, $88 -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 07:56 12
- what does dual screen even do -- nm - Gwaahjo Nov 17, 08:00 1
  - One screen on each headrest in the car for each kid -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 08:07
- I'm still upset that your other ones only last 2 years - wtf? -- nm - Pippy Nov 17, 07:59 3
  - For all the abuse it took, I'm suprised. The device has reached throwaway status for us. One per year, if it lasts more, we're happy - oblique Nov 17, 08:07 2
    - I see. -- nm - Pippy Nov 17, 08:08 1
      - I should say that our current one still works but the cables have been jerked around so much by kids and dogs that any little bump causes it to lose - oblique Nov 17, 08:10
- I think they were $99 last week. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 07:57 5
  - Hmm. If you see any like that online let me know. I'd spend the $11 not to go to the store on that day. -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 07:58 2
    - check buy.com - I thought I saw a deal over there a couple days ago -- nm - decline Nov 17, 08:01 1
      - The problem I have with them is they've gone the road of eCOST.com and most good deals are reconditioned - oblique Nov 17, 08:11
  - Yeah, there's a bunch at that range now. -- nm - budice Nov 17, 07:57 1
    - Any links? -- nm - oblique Nov 17, 07:58
I think ST is one of the funniest places on the net. - nubby Nov 17, 07:56 6
- Some of the best come from things that go awry. Right, Jax? (The rice post). -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 17, 08:03
- You're welcome. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 07:59 4
  - That last line was for you. -- nm - Nubby Nov 17, 08:00 3
    - I was pretty sure it was a self-shiv. -- nm - TFox Nov 17, 08:02 2
      - Right on! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 08:04
      - No, after three times yesterday and twice the day before, I'm pretty tired of self... - nubby Nov 17, 08:04
Just looked at the weekend numbers: Wow....$70M -- (link) - budice Nov 17, 07:56 1
- Damn it. 75 was what I had. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 07:57
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go where there is no path and leave a trail. - CrankYanker Nov 17, 07:54
*hangs up on loosi* -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 07:53 8
- Pure Gold? What is this Pure Gold? I don't shop at that jewelry store. -- nm - loosi's mom Nov 17, 07:55
- mom? -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 07:54 6
  - even my mom doesn't hang up on me. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 17, 07:55 5
    - ORLY? *click* -- nm - Mel's Mom Nov 17, 07:56
    - I'm pretty sure loosi's mom would hang up on you though - ty97 Nov 17, 07:56 3
      - I guess it depends where he's calling from. -- nm - loosilu Nov 17, 07:57 2
        
        I'll just start talking about my distrust of organized religion... -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:12
        
        THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!! -- nm - nubby Nov 17, 07:59
