i hate my boss so much right now but don't have time to rant. suffice to say, i was not unhappy she both got a nasty hijack virus on her computer - pigby Nov 17, 17:42 3

- Patryk should hire Crank Yanker for you & your road trip - peglegpete Nov 17, 17:11 4
  - it's polish. it's stupid, but it's polish. and patryk wouldn't go anywhere with a limo driver who reserved the right to pass judgment on him. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 17, 17:17 3
    - no. I meant that patryk pays for you to have the limo. he does not deserve CY -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 17:39
    - so ... he relieves himself in soda bottles? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 17:36 1
      - if he's paying for a limo, I think he should be allowed to as long as he doesn't spill. see? -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 17, 17:41
- this was my reaction when I saw the "I need another car" post. - mafic Nov 17, 17:02 3

- What kind of support line is this? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 17:11
- This made a very bad day a lot better. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 17:05
- I kind of want to call and hear his answering machine. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 17:00 1
  - Oh, maybe I'll do that tomorrow and record it! Hopefully he won't be home. - Subversive Nov 17, 17:08
- For soup and stuff! -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 16:56 2
  - I want one of those answering machines with a girl that you can get like that. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 17:00 1
    - "that's the way you buy 'em" - Subversive Nov 17, 17:07
God as my witness, I didn't know NFL games could end in a tie... - Beaker Nov 17, 16:50 4
- I went to a Redskins game that ended in a 7-7 tie and also featured Gus Frerotte going to the hospital after purposely ramming his head into a wall -- nm - Stewie Nov 17, 17:01 1
  - classic -- nm - Gwaahjo Nov 17, 17:03
- This would be useful if and only if you could play football as well as Donovan McNabb. -- nm - David Nov 17, 16:54
- I'm still a little irritated that Hockey games can't anymore. -- nm - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:51
nmbLiioulu - peglegpete Nov 17, 16:47 1
- It's cold out there and snowing. - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:50
BTW, I don't care how many people tell me Russell Brand is an up and coming star, he'll never amount to anything in my book. - Mop Nov 17, 16:35 4
- He was probably my 2nd favoirte part of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. - Will Hunting Nov 17, 18:10
- From this side of the Atlantic perhaps - JD Nov 17, 16:46

Thank you folks for the positive B2 thoughts, but I feel better now (LYC, more details) - con_carne Nov 17, 16:29 4
- What did I miss this morning? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 16:42 1
  - spoilers - con_carne Nov 17, 16:47
- Meeting 1: not fired. Meeting 2: fired. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 16:29 1

Twug = wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. He's wrong! - Stephen Nov 17, 16:27 4
- I'm with you guys. Marvel is creating events that actually have an impact. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 16:34
- Define "lately". Civil War was crap and the complete and utter inability to have characters - TWuG Nov 17, 16:34 1
  - totally agree on the Spider-man thing. I think that and Ultimates 3 was two major mistakes that Marvel has made in the last 7 years.... - Remlik Nov 17, 16:36
- copycat - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 16:29
Remlik: The question is, does it say something about the script, or does it say something about Nimoy? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:22 34
- I think it says a little of both. I think it says the script moved him enough to come out and do the role one more time.... - Remlik Nov 17, 16:26 33
  - I stand by my fellow Trek fan, Remlik, in everything he's said on B2 and B1. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 17:04
  - One thing that ST has going for it that the Prequels did not ... is the fact that George Lucas didn't touch the fucking script. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:34 2
    - Uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:39 1
      - And he's also not directing. -- nm - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:40
  - I hope it doesn't suck. But Abrams was a Trek neophyte. You don't hand over the franchise to a know-nothing and get good results. - TWuG Nov 17, 16:31 25
    - We've seen glimpses of Enterprise B, C and J in past series/movies. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 16:44 13
      - I don't recall B (though I know it's been mentioned). C was in Yesterday's Enterprise (Next Gen) and seems to have a limited shelf-life. J I'm not - TWuG Nov 17, 16:48 12
        
        Maybe if you were a *real* fan, you'd have a little more optimism. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 16:53 8
        
        I stopped being a "real" fan when they stopped employing "real" writers. - TWuG Nov 17, 16:58 7
        
        Voyager crap. 1st 3 seasons of DS9 crap then awesomeness. Enterprise rocked it's last season. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 18:04
        
        Last couple seasons of... don;t let Remlik hear you say that!!! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 17:41
        
        Hey! HEY! First Contact rocked! -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 17:24

        2 was action. But it was "submarine warfare" type action. This looks like Star Wars battles action. - TWuG Nov 17, 17:03
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        No. Precious little has held up. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 17:01
        
        Enterprise J was briefly in an episode of the Scott Bakula "Enterprise" series (part of the time war storyline). -- (link) - Mop Nov 17, 16:52 1
        
        Geeks!! - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 17:01
        
        B was Harriaman's Ship in Generations. The one that Kirk 'died' on. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:49
    - [deleted] 2
      - True, but what I've heard Abrams talk about doing and trying to achieve and such sounds anti-thetical to what Trek is. - TWuG Nov 17, 16:47 1

      - To bad they seem to have been told to make it look like Melrose Place crossed with BSG. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:42 1
        
        [deleted]
    - I would have been fine with those ideas as well..... - Remlik Nov 17, 16:34 1
      - Excellent point in your IM. I agree with you and Spawn. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 17, 16:38
    - I completely disagree with all your points. Look at Ironman. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 16:32 2
      - Iron Man has had 42 years of TV and movies that the general public knows well? No. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:35 1
        
        Nope. He had some cartoons, but no movies really excpet for an animated pos. People 'knew' him. But not like Spidey and Bats -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:38
  - And... - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:30 1
    - What's a "sacrve"? -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:39
  - word -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 17, 16:27
Fallout 3 has now froze up xbox a dozen times. nm - Jovian Nov 17, 16:22 5
- wow. and so it seems that this entire game save is glitched. nm - Jovian Nov 17, 16:25
- Between "loading" different areas? I've had that problem with it quite a bit. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 16:23
- it's done that to me 3 times over the weekend. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:23
- well, maybe things will get better on the 19th. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:22 1
  - ( ... whenceupon your console shall be endowed with the ability to install games to the hard drive) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:24
Decide my life: I have been trying to convince the building people that my office is too cold. - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:18 21
- can the vent directional vanes be aimed another direction, or can you hang some cardboard louvers to do so -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 16:30
- have a cord of wood delivered to them tomorrow :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 16:30
- i'm thinking that the solution to your problem has something to do with nipples -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 16:29
- Tell them you'll be forced to bring in a space heater, increasing their electric bill -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 16:22 2
  - Oh, I've had the heater for a long time. It's just kind loud and I would prefer not to waste the electricity. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:24 1
    - I'm not saying start using it. I'm saying that's what you could *tell them*. They don't know you don't like to use it. :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 16:31
- That might make them make it even hotter then you would like. -- nm - lileve Nov 17, 16:21
- The first should not raise red flags. The second would result in you getting so much extra heat that you'd have to show up in swimwear -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:20 11
  - My fingers have gone numb, but I don't want to turn on my portable heater because I don't want them to think my office is actually warm. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:22 9
    - If they can't fix it, then get a screwdriver and take the grill off the vent and block it with carboard or a blanket. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:25 3
      - I've gotten in trouble for that before when the cardboard blew into the vent. Apparently it's some kind of fire hazard or whatnot. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:27 2
        
        Large pieces of magnetic sheet also work. As long as the vent is metal. - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:37 1

    - isn't it almost summertime there? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:23 4
      - Hence the blowing of AC down her backside. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 16:24 3
        
        Exactly. It's always worse in the summertime. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 17, 16:25
        
        I was just wondering how unusual it would be to have a hot chocolate ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:24 1
        
        *snort* -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 16:39
  - I'm not seeing the downside. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 16:21
- "Wow! It's 40� in here? What the hell?!? -- nm - Building Supervisors Nov 17, 16:19
- They might over compensate in the other direction. ;) - the liioulu with two sacrves Nov 17, 16:19
