Speaking of lifestreaming, I need to document this life event. I played my first game of bar trivia this afternoon! At Buffalo Wild Wings. -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:41 5
- Ignore. -- (link) - David Dec 31, 13:42
- Excellent (if I ever make it to a big ST event, an ST pub trivia night is on the cards) -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 15:50
- I hope you kicked ass. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 15:42 2
  - Sadly, we came in second. -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:42 1

  - We called that "shark" when I was a kid. :-) -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 15:48
  - Fun! Do you get to arrange furniture first? Are there rules? -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:44 1
    - I guess, but as kids, we were too small to move furniture anyway. Go about your business, but if you touch the floor, you burn. It's lava, you know. - con_carne Dec 29, 15:51
  - OMG, this sounds like a most excellent game. seriously. -- nm - mary christmas Dec 29, 15:44

- Play -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:40 2
  - Um, sorry. Play "guess the song I'm tapping out with my knuckle." -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:40 1
    - yeah, that could work. we'll need more beer for that though, I do think. -- nm - mary christmas Dec 29, 15:41

insignificant Mouse Hunt question - con_carne Dec 29, 15:36 2
- They should be on the Pages tab. The pages sometimes have interesting info about how to proceed, what cheese/traps to use, etc. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 15:40
- (as opposed to the *significant* ones, natch) -- nm - con_carne Dec 29, 15:38
Planning on drinking, driving & dying on New Year's Eve? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Dec 29, 15:27

- Heh, and is there something weird about using a search engine to keep track of your life events? :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 29, 15:28 2
  - TT/ST invented "lifestreaming"! -- nm - mara Dec 29, 15:39
  - not in the least ... I for one admire the strength it takes to move on after losing loved ones - for me it's only been Grand Parent and Parents so far -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 15:34
Apparently last night when I was beyond wasted, I told my sexy study buddy exactly what I thought of him. Oops. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 29, 15:24 4
- *stops self from giving advice* -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:28
- Is he any good at Mousehunt though? -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 15:25 2
  - eh? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 29, 15:31 1
    - Only joking. You couldn't be as bad as me. - Loyola Dec 29, 15:35 1

Hey TFox - just got your IM - what did you need? -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 15:09 7
- oh, nothing, it was actually an attempt to avoid more mouse posts here. :) - TFox Dec 29, 15:12 6
  - don't worry - there was "uber" football posting all day :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 15:28
  - I think it *could* mean something like that. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 29, 15:20
  - You people aren't blowing the horn on the comet enough! - JaxSean Dec 29, 15:14 3
    - I'm trying! :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 15:21 1

kare, you probably missed it when I linked to pics of the pups with Santa -- (link) - zork Dec 29, 15:01 [Backboard] 4
- omg. LOVE! very cute. :) -- nm - kare Dec 29, 15:04 3
  - Blue has come such a long way nerve-wise since we got him (at 1 yr. old) but is still shy around people. Seems he had to let us know he wasn't happy. -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:06 2
    - oh wait, did you see both pics? - zork Dec 29, 15:09 1
      - lol - no - i didn't see the second. *awesome* - kare Dec 29, 15:10
Redmond, you getting snow up in PDX? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:59 1

groiny, IRYS is just an expression -- (link) - zork Dec 29, 14:50 [Backboard]
The final round of Newsarama's "Favorite Writer" poll has Geoff Johns vs. Grant Morrison?! - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:50 4
- this year....Johns. No question. -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:57 2
  - No doubt. Just wondering how Morrison scores 2nd place. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:57 1
    - well he was pretty high profile with Bats and Final Crisis but he's got a large online cult that loves him. -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:58
- I killed Batman! I pwned him but good! - Grant Morrison Dec 29, 14:53
So my facepalm moment today came when I was told that we're extending the 10 dollar pizza deal past New Years into February. nmbnooooooooooooooo - Qale Dec 29, 14:43 26
- Do you have any problems with tips paid by credit card? - not2fast Dec 29, 15:04 1
  - Nope. In fact, I kind of prefer it, since it shows right there on the slip what I'm supposed to get. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 15:22
- Now, all that being said. 10 dollars IS a really good deal since you can get a large speciality which normally costs like 17-18 bucks. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 14:56
- How does this impact you? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:52 6
  - Philosophically: I'm of the opinion a cheapening of a product to such a great degree, lowers the image/quality. - Qale Dec 29, 14:54 5
    - Is $10 for chain pizza earth-shatteringly cheap? - TFox Dec 29, 14:56 3
      - i expect to pay at least $15 for a large with toppings -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:57 1
        
        There's the perception I think too when you reach a dollar level once, it's really hard to go back up without a lot of pushback. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 14:59
      - Yeah, just posted that it's a savings of 7-8 dollars which is a pretty big deal. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 14:57
    - Ah. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:55
- Have they added it to the website? - not2fast Dec 29, 14:47 1
  - Probably not. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 14:51
- don't you get bigger tips? -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 14:43 13
  - It has not translated to more or larger tips. In fact, I'd say it's made it more "accessable" to those who couldn't afford it before, - Qale Dec 29, 14:52 2
    - man - I'm sorry to hear this - usually when I order and it's a lower than normal cost I boost the tip. -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 15:12 1
      - When I'm getting a deal I try to base the tip on the regular price. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 29, 15:30
  - don't most people tip percentage? -- nm - mary christmas Dec 29, 14:45 9
    - papa johns adds it to your order. -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:50 8
      - isn't that a delivery fee vs. a tip? -- nm - mary christmas Dec 29, 14:51 6
        
        I've always wondered what the $2 delivery fee was for. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 14:56 2
        
        I think it goes to the "If the driver gets stabbed and sues the company" fund. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 14:58 1
        
        Dammit, Caleb! -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 29, 15:01
        
        yeah, I think he is thinking of the delivery free. hmm, Remlik is a cheap skate. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 14:53 2
        
        yeah it is a delivery fee. It's a gas tax! They started that crap last year and I cut down ordering from them because of it. I still tip. -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:59 1
        
        meh, all the pizza chains have that. little ceasers did that 10+ yrs ago when I was a delivery driver for them -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 15:01
      - well, you can say how much you want to pay for a tip online, but it doesnt add it to the order for you. - tRuMaN Dec 29, 14:50
Here's a pet question. I bought a insulating blanket thing for the inside of the garage door. Unfortunately, my golden retriever likes to jump up... - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 14:37 37
- really though, how cold can it get in Alaska? -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:52
- Mittens. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 14:48
- 1) sell dogs. 2) buy cats. 3) breathe sigh of relief. nm - Dignan Dec 29, 14:47 7
  - after housesitting for days in a house in which a cat was trapped silently in a bedroom, I'm going to disagree. -- nm - mary christmas Dec 29, 14:50 6
    - You look at it as trapped. He looks at it as barricaded. nm - Dignan Dec 29, 14:52 5
      - I feel like such shit. the cat never made a noise. I should have known when I didn't see her. I should have known. - mary christmas Dec 29, 15:01 4
        
        did it die? if it didn't die, it's cool. cats are down-ass dudes like that. -- nm - TFox Dec 29, 15:02 3
        
        no. but as soon as patrick walked in and called it, it started meowing. it had destroyed the carpet under the door trying to scratch out. - mary christmas Dec 29, 15:04 2
        
        it's not your fault. cats live to get humans in as much trouble as possible -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 15:06 1
        
        *nods* - Epiphany Dec 29, 15:16
- build a bench that drops off the door when it is closed, so that the dog can stand on it and look out the window. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 14:46 1
  - he'd be so happy. Lizzie loves to spy. I feel kind of bad for her at my new place now though. much less to see. - kare Dec 29, 14:47
- let the dogs inside -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:42 17
  - also a good point. can be more difficult with younger dogs though. angel has done great for years - kare Dec 29, 14:43 16
    - Hmm. She's almost two and hasn't had an indoor accident in at least a year. They're alone for like 8 hours, tho... -- nm - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 14:49 15
      - does she ever have accidents in the garage? -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:50 14
        
        Seems like the garage has been pretty clear for awhile now. Hard to say lately with the puddles from melted snow. :) - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 14:52 13
        
        they probably feel the same way about the garage as they do the house - they will do whatever they can to only ever go outside - kare Dec 29, 15:03 7
        
        and leave a radio going on a talk station -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:04 6
        
        i used to leave it on animal planet until i realized most of the time, those animals are in distress -- nm - kare Dec 29, 15:05 5
        
        "oooh, cool, shark week OHHHHHHHHHMYGOD!" -- nm - kare's dog Dec 29, 15:07 1
        
        this is funny. actually mine almost never watch tv but sometimes react to noises on it -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:10
        
        you are mean! -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 15:06 2
        
        we won't talk about how i used to let angel eat grapes - kare Dec 29, 15:09 1
        
        we used to give chocolate to my previous sheltie once in a while. Guess it didn't harm him much because he lived to 16 yrs. -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:12
        
        they can do it. one of mine could last 24 hours or more if he needed. i think their bladders are actually stronger than ours - zork Dec 29, 14:55 4
        
        Or we could even leave the indoor door to the garage open... - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 15:00 3
        
        can't be good for your gas bill. do you ever park in the garage? - zork Dec 29, 15:03 2
        
        Oh yeah. IM: oh yeah. -- nm - Auld Lang Vermin, dumb X2 Dec 29, 15:13 1
        
        also, check (on the weekend, I guess) with a thermometer just how cold it gets in there on a windy day. I can't imagine they are too comfy in there. -- nm - zork Dec 29, 15:24
- is there something you can do to make it easier for her to look out the window? a table or chair? -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:39 5
  - (may as well make it easy for her, as likely you won't be able to stop her.) -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:41 4
    - yah - and duct tape the heck out of the bubble wrap around the window :) -- nm - JenBro Dec 29, 14:42 3
      - Hmmm. A couple layers of cardboard and duct tape might do the trick! -- nm - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 14:49 2
        
        at this piont, why not get an old quilt/comforter from goodwill, cut it into pieces to fit the panels of the door, sew each piece closed, then - tRuMaN Dec 29, 14:52 1
        
        They're pretty adept at shredding fabric. Duct tape might prove toenail-resistant... -- nm - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 15:14
- Door without a window? -- nm - Loyola Dec 29, 14:38
I'm making a nice honey/brown sugar pork loin with mashed red potatoes and a salad. -- nm - CQ Dec 29, 14:35 7
- take that, hazel bloom -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:42 6
  - CQ = Algae Bloom -- nm - con_carne Dec 29, 14:45
  - psh. everybody knows that honey with pork is blasphemy. CQ's a loser. -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:44 4
    - heh -- nm - CQ Dec 29, 14:55 3
      - start your own blog for cooking dudes. suggested title: hazel bloom sucks -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:56 2
        
        >:| -- nm - kare Dec 29, 15:05
        
        *laughing* I could never do that to our dear kare. -- nm - CQ Dec 29, 14:58
Glee Flash Mob - Italian style -- (link) - CovingtonCat Dec 29, 14:35 [youtube] 2
- That's a special kind of spectacular. -- nm - David Dec 29, 15:51
- Awesome. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:45
sitwap: Is the reason we have not seen pictures of Tiger is cause Ellin took the the 9-iron to his face? -- (link) - Remlik Dec 29, 14:34 11
- Can anyone find Woods's public message on his web site? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:51
- Well, we knew from the initial accident that he was bleeding profusely from the face, no? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:47 2
  - Any facial damage and reconstruction would explain why he's taking time away from golf to work on his marriage even though Elin has already left him. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 29, 14:49 1
    - that's my thinking as well, but the article says that the story may be an internet hoax so who knows. -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:50
- one rumor was that she threw the cell phone and busted four of his teeth -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 29, 14:44 2
  - that's an impressive arm. -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:45 1
    - Or a cell phone from 1988. -- nm - Auld Lang Vermin Dec 29, 14:50
- i usually love dogs (obvie) but that... thing... on the beach walking with that Rachel chick is.. just.. *shudder* -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:42 3
  - yeah what was that thing she was with? -- nm - Remlik Dec 29, 14:45 2
    - It looks like a Chupacabra. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 14:49
    - whatever it is, it's channeling Tammy Faye. -- nm - kare Dec 29, 14:49
