- OK, who broke the salt circle? -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 12:43 3
  - I told you all we should have set bronze into the concrete. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:44

- sweet...way to call him out in front of everyone. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:42 1
  - ah, he's probably not even watching right now. Probably off selling houses or playing COD4 or something. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:44
OK the MouseHunt thing is honestly a silly game but why did I get so excited when I caught a burglar and bionic mouse back to back -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:39

Are the Lasik people around? My surgery is tomorrow, and I'm slightly nervous (as is normal, I figure) but have a question. - ty97 Jan 4, 12:32 8
- Really the next morning. You can see sooner but they want you to keep your eyes closed as much as possible until the next day. - pmb Jan 4, 12:39
- My friend's was the next day, but he slept the rest of the first day so it didn't matter. - Max Jan 4, 12:39
- I'd never let a doctor implant some convicts eyes in my head -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:37 1
  - John Anderton? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 4, 12:38
- my sil had it done and was seeing normally that day -- nm - decline Jan 4, 12:36
- No, it will not imbue your eyes with a super-powerful gaydar system. - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:34 2
  - [deleted]
  - (Disclaimer: I've never had it done) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:34
Dawson, I need a clarification of your definition ... - zork Jan 4, 12:30 12

  - BTW, your entrails post made me actually LOL. -- nm - zork Jan 4, 12:33
- *warning* -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:31

- because God never lets anything bad happen to believers of his Word! -- nm - zork Jan 4, 12:31
Oh pippy, Tex Mex is tough to manage, I feel for you -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 12:29 1
- I am still trying to find good MEX_MEX in texas - Tex Mex seems sorta foofoo -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:41
Bachelor tonight means one thing to me..... - groiny Jan 4, 12:27 3
- [deleted] 1
  - WHOSE COCK IS THIS!?!?!?!?!?!? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 12:31
- Series record? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 4, 12:29
I think I've seen one episode of Six Million Dollar Man (probably the pilot) ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:27 8
- It's funny I found Bionic Woman on reruns before 6Mil$Man but I love both - SyrDragon Jan 4, 12:44 2
  - I went to Universal Studios in '77. Seeing the set of her apartment was both one of the most awesome, yet sad experiences of my preteen life. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:46
  - I did like the remake of BW, sad it didnt last. Her shows (Wagners) were obviously more touchy feeley (70's version of girl demographic targeting) -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:45
- Spawn: What season did the bionic sound effect finally make it into the show full time? So far season 2 - they are intermittent -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:32 2
  - Hmm. I thought it was season 2, but I guess season 3. I keep thinking I will read Cyborg (by Martin Caidin), which it was based on. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:37 1
    - I bought that in a used book store. Good quick read. Show pretty true (in the first 4 eps from season 0) -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:44
- this post makes baby Big Foot cry. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:28 1
  - And Bionic Showdown was one of Sandra Bullocks first big parts I think. -- nm - Capstern Jan 4, 12:33
Heh. James Roday and Dule Hill are guest hosting Raw on 1/25. -- nm - Callisto Jan 4, 12:25 4
- between this and Bret Hart's return, I may start watching wrestling again. -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:27 3
  - I would be worried that Brett is a shell of his former self. - groiny Jan 4, 12:29 2
    - depends on how they play it, he could be good as a mouthpiece/manager role, just severely limit his in-ring role -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:29 1
      - I do not think they are capable of keeping him out of the ring. - groiny Jan 4, 12:33
[deleted] 30
- Yeah, I called that when I was watching. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:27 27
  - [deleted] 26
    - So, the fact that the Patriots lost one of their biggest weapons this weekend doesn't seem to have changed anyone's opinion on the Indy thing? - Jim Jan 4, 12:30 24
      - [deleted] 15
        
        I just don't get what good 16-0 would be if the Colts lost, say...Reggie Wayne...getting there. -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:37 14
        
        [deleted]
        
        playing for 16-0 guarantees the loss of Reggie Wayne? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:37 12
        
        That's not what I said. You missed the "if" in my post. Again...what good is the undefeated regular season if you potentially jeopardize the - Jim Jan 4, 12:39 10
        
        well, if it didn't have a little jeopardy involved in it, then it wouldn't be worth getting, would it? - TFox Jan 4, 12:40 9
        
        And this is where we differ, I guess. I play to win the Super Bowl. I don't care what my record is, as long as I win the last game of the season. -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:42 8
        
        Because you are sort of scared of having an A+ season, and would rather say "Deal" with Howie Mandel and just take the B+ season. - TFox Jan 4, 12:44 4
        
        So you'd rather have 18-1 with your loss in the Super Bowl...than 18-1 with your loss in Week 17? -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:46 3
        
        unequivocally yes, if the loss in Week 17 is us laying down and forfeiting. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:46 2
        
        You so funny. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:47 1
        
        I'm not lying. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:47
        
        Problem is there's more evidence that if you rest key players, you probably won't make it to the Super Bowl. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 12:44
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        FWIW, I wouldn't have pulled Manning either. I just don't understand the grief this dude has taken. - Jim Jan 4, 12:45
        
        (playing for 16-0 even makes the loss of Reggie Wayne probable?) -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:37
      - he lost it running. not via a big hit or something like that -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:31 2
        
        So? We've yet to see how resting starters will help/hurt Indy. We have definitely seen how playing starters will hurt NE. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:32 1
        
        well, you've sort of seen how resting starters will hurt Indy, in that Earth, Gaia, and the Easter Bunny all hate them now. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:36
      - What happened to Welker could have happened in practice. He was untouched. It just happens. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:31 4
        
        It almost did happen in practice to 85. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 12:32
        
        Couldn't have happened if he was on the sideline. That's all I'm saying. -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:31 1
        
        No, not during that hour of that day, it couldn't have. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:32
        
        It also happens while palying games. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:31
    - They are the only team that I would not be mad if we lost to. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:29
- heh -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 12:26
- laughing at the last line. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:25

Also, Lee Majors' role on Jake 2.0 was genius. -- nm - David Jan 4, 12:16 10

JD/znufrii/Krusty: you guys doing the no-pants subway ride this year? -- (link) - Hotkiss Jan 4, 12:14 10
- Not sure I could recover from that visual. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 12:24
- I don't think so... - znufrii Jan 4, 12:20 5
  - Do they actually advertise for this event in the subways, or what? If virally, where do most NYCers hear about it? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 4, 12:21 4
    - the improv everywhere mailing list is fairly extensive, they had 2,000 people show up to the imaginary dog-walking in Brooklyn. - znufrii Jan 4, 12:23 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        brilliant! - znufrii Jan 4, 12:37
    - No advertising. I get emails from them and I'm sure it's a lot of word of mouth that gets the people there. -- nm - Krusty The Shylock Jan 4, 12:22
- I like the sit in the park on a nice day and do stupid shit that they tell you improv. - Krusty The Shylock Jan 4, 12:19

  - Yup. -- nm - David Jan 4, 12:16 2
    - I used those about four years ago at work. I was surprised at how well they worked. 48KB/sec sustained bitrates is pretty impressive. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:17 1
      - (I mean, sure, it's not as fast as bittorrenting a film ... but for avoiding the hassle of fishing cable? Priceless.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:17
  - (Or are you just using standard fished cable?) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:16
In Plain Sight should do a youtube promo where Marshall Mann does the "henhouse, whorehouse, outhouse" speech from The Fugitive -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:14
