Anyone finish 'Under the Dome'? It's next in my 'to-read' pile, but it's intimidating me. -- nm - Dread Pirate Vermin Jan 5, 10:35 15
- I have zero desire to read this. it looks hackneyed and boring to me. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:43
- yes - did you already get a copy? do I need to send mine to you - ? - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:38 5
  - Yeah, I got a copy for Xmas. I'm looking forward to reading it, I guess... - Dread Pirate Vermin Jan 5, 10:40
  - You didn't like Insomnia?!?!?! -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:38 3
    - It's the only one I wanted to quit on - I almost did. The Stand is at the top, Insomnia is at the bottom - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:40 2
      - Wow...I really liked Insomnia. My ultimate favorite of his novels is It. The Mist is probably my favoritest of anything he's written... - Jim Jan 5, 10:41 1
        
        lover, loved...what's the difference really. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:42
- it's in my next five or so books to read. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 10:37
- We're going to start The Girl With -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:37 5
  - The Dragon Tattoo. I have also been instructed to read Peter and Max very soon. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:37 4
    - I have that as well. - Remlik Jan 5, 10:39 1
      - Oh, I got it for her for XMas, she's already finished it. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:40
    - You can't read this. (I'm starting Infinite Jest on Monday) -- nm - Max Jan 5, 10:39 1
      - I am very interested to know what you think. - Callisto Jan 5, 10:40
- Just started it. Like most recent King's...he wastes no time getting to it. I'm about 100 pages in, I like it so far. - Jim Jan 5, 10:36
I hope Tiger goes full "heel" for his comeback. *chair shot to Mickleson* -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:34 3
- I want John Daly to be his next best man -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:37 1
  - Tiger and Daly are gonna be best friends. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 10:39
- have his caddie wear Road Warrior armour too -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:35
off to sleep, thanks for the Lasik support guys! -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 10:29 2
- p.s. Max, ygm -- nm - ty97 Jan 5, 10:30
- See you later. - Shaun Jan 5, 10:30
Heh, once again I'm below average :/ - MojaveMeg Jan 5, 10:26 1
- you can easily rectify this - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:27
Vanity Fair's been holding on to this picture of Tiger Woods since 2006. -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 5, 10:25 32
- it's kinda getting out of hand. So he nailed some chicks, big fucking deal. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:26 31
  - I wouldn't have a problem with nailing some chicks if he wasn't in an (apparently) exclusive relationship. everyone has a past, if your're exclusive - mafic Jan 5, 10:40
  - [deleted]
  - A) He was a vaccuum of personality beforehand, B) he's arguably the biggest name athlete in the world, C) it was A LOT of chicks. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 10:30 17
    - [deleted] 16
      - Same as Obama, but Tiger had a lot more fun getting there. -- nm - Late Night Talk Show Host Jan 5, 10:33
      - People hate them some cheaters like woah. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:32
      - Dollars are wasted on this crap for celebrities? Who the hell cares what their approval rating is. They're not the president. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:32 13
        
        Truth be told, why bother tracking the President's ratings that closely either? It's more for media coverage than actual impacting on agenda. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 10:35
        
        Tiger Woods had gotten paid like $850million dollars to endorse products based pretty much on how the public likes/respects him - Will Hunting Jan 5, 10:34
        
        I would say that it matters to their sponsors a great deal. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 10:33 7
        
        right there is why you're the brains of the BOP. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 10:34 6
        
        oh I see, three of us come up with the idea and Callisto gets the credit. :( -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:37 5
        
        She's an idea-slut. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 10:49
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I wasn't serious. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:42
        
        no slight intended at all. I just saw her post first. -- nm - Remlik Jan 5, 10:40
        
        All posted at exactly the same time...and last I checked, she's one of the 2 people looked at as "running" BOP. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:38
        
        Companies who hire them to endorse their products. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 10:33
        
        advertisers paying millions of dollars care a lot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:33
        
        We've been debating the approval rating of people who post engagement photos for a week. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:33
  - Dude...he nailed A LOT of chicks though. And apparently spent quite a but of dough in the process. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:27 10
    - meanwhile Charlie Sheen gets to do commercials with Michael Jordan. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:29 4
      - He had no good image to ruin. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:33
      - Charlie Sheen's always been a douchebag. Tiger was supposed to be the shiny gold star example of how an athlete/celebrity SHOULD be. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:32
      - he shot a chick, "allegedly" held a knife to his wife's throat and has banged more hos than most people have seen -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:30 1
        
        It fits his profile. Ditto Robert Downey Jr. falling off the wagon again or Matthew McConahy getting stoned and playing bongos while naked. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 10:33
    - was it really that many. I mean, if he were single, would it matter? -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:29 4
      - Vows matter to people. He's young rich and single, do whatever he wants with any woman who wants him - Will Hunting Jan 5, 10:35 2
        
        I disagree. The fact that they just had a child makes it 10 times worse. - groiny Jan 5, 10:36 1
        
        I mean, if he's young and single.....but he's not. Which is why he's an epic asshat. - Will Hunting Jan 5, 10:38
      - That's the point. He wasn't single. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:33
The Iron Man 2-disc Blu-ray is $19.99 at Future Shop now. About time they dropped the price from $32.99. -- nm - Shaun Jan 5, 10:21
I'm beautiful - groiny Jan 5, 10:18 8
- That Johnson&Johnsons 24 hour baby moisturizing cream is about the best thing. ever - Trisha Jan 5, 10:30 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Hee! I saw it in a store last week. I bet I picked it up, looked at the iinside covers and put it back 6 times. - Trisha Jan 5, 10:42
    - Sweet. I got this for Xmas. -- nm - Dread Pirate Vermin Jan 5, 10:35 1
      - [deleted]
- *casts you in a Dove commecial* -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 5, 10:25
- No matter what they say! -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 10:20
- agreeance -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:18
another timekiller: HWDYK 2009: The Year in Movies -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 5, 10:16
mafic: My gradfather tried tracing the family tree and it was damn near impossible. Everyone has multiple given names and very few last names. There - loosilu Jan 5, 10:14 10
- this is why Quebec officailly asked people to stop naming their children jean/marie [blank]. logistical nightmare. - mafic Jan 5, 10:28 1
  - my mom and all of her sisters are Marie something. So am I, for that matter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:34
- We did some geneology over Christmas. I got a bunch of info but haven't started organizing it yet. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 10:23 2
  - *waving arm* -- nm - Max Jan 5, 10:23 1
    - Yeah. I was going to go to you once I had looked through what I have. -- nm - Dano Jan 5, 10:25
- Yours is like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree too, yeah? -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 5, 10:17 1
  - it's milliosn of needles on the floor and you don't know which are yours. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:18
- I wish I could trace my family record beyond even my grandparents. The Chinese are horribly undoumented. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:16 2
  - Yeah, I was so surprised that my wife, who is european decent, knew all about her great-grands - SyrDragon Jan 5, 10:26
  - I can't trace it on my dad's side for the same reason. (German & Irish working class) -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:17
mafic - I've been to two weddings in the past few years where the couple had been together since HS - Reagen Jan 5, 10:13 3
- not really related: I have a friend who was the last man Yellowknife's Only Two Open Lesbians (1999) dated. - mafic Jan 5, 10:20
- *cues up Dead Ringers in the VCR* -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:14 1
  - she apparently has an extremely specific type. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 10:14
Syabas, makers of the Popcorn Hour, announce the Popbox settop box. -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 5, 10:12
Survey finds average woman has eight sex partners - and is drunk for at least five of them -- (link) - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:10 84
- *giggles uncontrollably* - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:16 1
  - right? - groiny Jan 5, 10:18
- That's bullshit. That's a bunch of chicks playing the "I was drunk" card so they don't have to play the "I'm a slut card". -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:15 65
  - Booze is great! It excuses all kinds of behavior! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 5, 10:23
  - Yup. -- nm - David Jan 5, 10:22
  - I can honestly say I was drunk or buzzed for the majority of my hook ups -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:17 20
    - I'll give it a solid none. if I thought there was a chance, I avoided things that might alter my performance. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:32
    - I think I'm at 50% on this one. But making out is at a good 80-90%, probably. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:22 9
      - yeah. making out the percentage goes way up. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:36
      - I am fairly sure I made out with a Jukebox once when I was drunk. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 5, 10:22 7
        
        I pretty sure Marlowe screwed a Gallaga machine while drunk. -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:24
        
        Oddly, it fit in the change slot. (nm) - Will Hunting Jan 5, 10:23 5
        
        "made out" - groiny Jan 5, 10:24 4
        
        "fairly sure" - Will Hunting Jan 5, 10:27 3
        
        I do not doubt that at all. - groiny Jan 5, 10:30 2
        
        Just the other day I had a "do you remember that one night when you...." conversation with the boy. - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:31 1
        
        *makes a note to go drinking with hotkiss* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 5, 10:33
    - [deleted] 1
      - well yeah, but you could probably say that about your everyday life. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:34
    - same here. -- nm - decline Jan 5, 10:19
    - I can honestly say that I haven't been for any of mine. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:18 5
      - bet you I lasted longer! -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:19
      - oh, I have had plenty. - groiny Jan 5, 10:19 3
        
        But would you play the "i was drunk" card? or the "i'm a slut" card? - Jim Jan 5, 10:19 2
        
        there's a difference? -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:20
        
        I played the "I would have never hit that sober" card. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 5, 10:20
  - Oh lookie here I got a full house! - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:16
  - [deleted] 40
    - I know guys I'd consider sluts - Reagen Jan 5, 10:17 3
      - as do we all, I'm sure, but the number tends to be lower for women than men. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:31
      - I can think of three easy. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 5, 10:23
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:18
    - I really don't think that many people feel that way anymore. nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:17 35
      - If a woman screws around, she will get called a "slut" by her peers, some of whom will also be sluts -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:20 22
        
        And? -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:23 21
        
        I'm saying the stigma is still alive and well, and it is almost exclusively used on women -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:24 20
        
        I'd say it's not as overtly pervasive as it used to be, but certainly still present, and reflected in the media, etc. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 10:28
        
        This is where we disagree. I know the stigma is still there and the word "slut" is used primarily for women... - Jim Jan 5, 10:27 18
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        A male slut is either a dick or a douchebag or something like that. - Jim Jan 5, 10:36 9
        
        "Da man." -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:38
        
        player, but that's almost an endearing term between some guys -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:38 2
        
        so is slut between some girls. you're right, player is the best analogous word. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:38 1
        
        I know a lot of women that call their friends "hooker", "whore", etc. - Jim Jan 5, 10:40
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        you always hear it in the jerk/asshole meaning, but there's an entire website for the slut meaning, IIRC -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 10:38 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        that's why i love inventing my own. "that doesn't mean that." "oh yeah? says who?" -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:36
        
        manwhore. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 10:36
        
        Mimbo! -- nm - Jerry.Vermin Jan 5, 10:33
        
        "mutt" -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:33
        
        Note how the Jersey Shore guys are never called sluts but "Slut" is practically all the girls' middle names in the media. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:28 4
        
        I don't even know what that means. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:35 2
        
        I don't know how it relates to what you were saying, but ... she's talking about frosted-tip blooming-onion haircut new jersey douchebags -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 10:36 1
        
        Heh...oh, ok. I keep hearing the words "Jersey Shore" but I honestly have no idea what that even is. -- nm - Jim Jan 5, 10:43
        
        they're called fucking douchebags, because that's what they are. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 10:34
      - [deleted]
      - whether individuals believe it or not, it's still a fairly prevalent part of our culture, if somewhat less so than it used to be. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 10:18 10
        
        I know some pretty judgy 18-19 y/os. It's god damn ugly out there for an active chick. - Pippy Bells Jan 5, 10:22 1
        
        this post requires a couple things: 1) more details 2) pictures 3) yes please. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:23
        
        although weirdly, the increasing hoishness of girls is making me think I need to caution Jacen to be more chaste. - TFox Jan 5, 10:20 7
        
        Women have always been this way. Right now, it just seems fashionable to do so, so less women hide it. -- nm - con_carne Jan 5, 10:21 6
        
        sure, just look at how much a part of many cultures, historically, is based on repressing female sexuality -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 10:24 3
        
        Dan Brown made a fortune writing about it -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:24 2
        
        I wouldn't know about that. -- nm - znufrii Jan 5, 10:27
        
        Yeah, I *loved* walking with his disciples. Loved it! -- nm - Mary Magdalene Jan 5, 10:26
        
        I doubt that this is 100% true. I agree that female nature hasn't changed miraculously, but the behaviors I think have somewhat. - TFox Jan 5, 10:23
        
        Women can be proud of scoring too. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:22
- you give me drunk and desperate and you'll get lucky. guranteed -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:14
- Wow. I guess enough time passed to sober up before the next three had their shot. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 5, 10:13 1
  - you've got to keep drinking in between. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:15
- I would have guessed at least 7. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 10:13
- Women are *reckless.* nm - Dignan Jan 5, 10:13
- does it distinguish between "dnacing and having a good time drunk", "barfing in her pants drunk" and "passed out drunk"? -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:13 5
  - all viable avenues -- nm - CQ Jan 5, 10:14 2
    - it makes me think of 40 Year Old Virgin. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:17 1
      - the scene in Observe and Report with Anna Faris was hilarious -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:18
  - it also needs a subcategory for "I told my girlfriends I was drunk to hide the embarrassment of the choice, and I'm not changing tunes for a survey." -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:14 1
    - it's not a lie if you believe it. -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 10:15
- "One in six women admitted they did not have the confidence to sleep with someone when they were sober." - TFox Jan 5, 10:13 3
  - For me, it's not that I wouldn't have slept with them eventually. Alcohol just sped up the inevitable. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 5, 10:14 2
    - They must have huge penises to develop their own gravitational pull. -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 10:15 1
      - *laugh* -- nm - b. Jan 5, 10:16
- I like those odds! -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 10:12
