I like that the auto CEOs / private jets thing is getting so much news attention. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 14:11 42
- Likely cuz the news people can't actually figure out what's news; they go for the tabloid hit. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 14:13 6
  - it's like Woodward & The Berenstein Bears - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:15 5
    - Reading to moose jr the other day, I just realized that it's Berenst*A*in Bears. - musubi Nov 19, 14:20 3
      - Yup. Weird. But watch out, the son is going to publish Christian themed Bears books -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 14:24
      - Oh, wow. Heh. I didn't realize that. (The authors' family name) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:22 1
        
        (And yes, to the best of my knowledge, that is the correct placement for the apostrophe) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:22
    - Clever. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 14:16
- Seems stupid since its company policy -- nm - Stewie Nov 19, 14:12 34
  - it doesn't matter if it is. it's an example of the typically out of touch and foolish management decisions you get from the clowns who have.... - x Nov 19, 14:18 4
    - that whole AIG retreat waste of money seemed like a real example of this - Stewie Nov 19, 14:24 2
      - i'd agree it's not a huge example of waste. that is not the issue. the issue is, they are too stupid at management to realize that the public ... - x Nov 19, 14:32 1
        
        *nods* at least be smart enough to hide your flagarant abuse of company funds - Pippy Nov 19, 14:34
    - Bingo. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 14:19
  - Being Company Policy doesn't make it any less wasteful -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 14:14 28
    - Making them fly coach might make you feel better but I think its reasonable that CEOs of corporations this size needs more flexible travel - Stewie Nov 19, 14:23 10
      - I also think its interesting the same people that want to deregulate all business and let corporations grow exponentially massive - Stewie Nov 19, 14:27 4
        
        Actually, I've been seeing the opposite. The same people that want to deregulate all business and let corporations grow massive .... - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:29 3
        
        Yup. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 14:37
        
        [deleted]
        
        right. that's a much more widespread phenomenon. free market capitalists who run for the nanny state when times get tough... - x Nov 19, 14:35
      - They need flexible travel why? Because the big three are stuck in the twentieth century - con_carne Nov 19, 14:27
      - Who said coach? Even first-class is a fuck of a lot cheaper. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:26
      - It starts at the top...If the CEO and upper management shows they are serious about cutting costs - amoxy Nov 19, 14:25 2
        
        Their side says they are profitable in almost every market except America - Stewie Nov 19, 14:41
        
        Cuz the workers there are making a killing doing their jobs. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 14:27
    - But is it not also wasteful to have the CEO stuck in some podunk town waiting for some stupid airline to release tickets? - Justification Squad Nov 19, 14:17 16
      - Detroit? "podunk"? It cost $20,000 for the GM exec to fly from Detroit to DC...coach fare at the same time $300 - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 14:23 1
        
        Perhaps you didn't catch the sarcasm value of that post. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:24
      - What with today's telecommuting ability, I'd think that the need for business travel for non-hands-on work is relatively low. - musubi Nov 19, 14:22 13
        
        And as a CEO...there isn't much "hands on" work. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 14:24 9
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Noone said it has no value. Noone here at least. Just that those goals can still be accomplished through commercial travel. - musubi Nov 19, 14:39 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        That's my point. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 14:31
        
        If I were a stockholder, I would want my CEO to visit all the factories and some showrooms every year. - psilotum Nov 19, 14:25 4
        
        So would I, but I'd also not want him to not be wasteful. - musubi Nov 19, 14:33
        
        ... and would you want him to do that at an expensive of $20,000 per trip, just for the flight? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:28 2
        
        Depends on how much I'm paying them per day. -- nm - psilotum Nov 19, 14:32 1
        
        In the age of the iPhone, you think it really matters *where* they are when they do business? :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:32
        
        The corporate jet also means they don't have to schedule their day to the airlines. And if something changes, the jet is still there. -- nm - VMan Nov 19, 14:24 1
        
        You think a CEO won't be able to buy a ticket? Even if it costs and extra couple hundred to change a ticket it's still an order of magnitude cheaper. - musubi Nov 19, 14:30
        
        Exactly. It's only important for dinosaurs and douchebags. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:23
Apparently the CEO of Cenemark gave 9,999 dollars to Yes on Prop 8 so now organizers don't want us to see MILK at his theatre chain. -- (link) - Qale Nov 19, 14:10 5
- very appropriate. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:11 4
  - There aren't any Cinemark locations here. I'd normally see such a thing at Landmark which is a different chain. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:13 3
    - Most likely it will end up at our Art House...Otherwise, Cinemark is all we got here -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 14:18 1
      - Some AMC theatres show art house films as a part of their AMC Select. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:23
    - yeah, they don't have any here either. Still, a really great idea. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:14
And some good news today in Ireland. Handguns to be banned. -- (link) - Loyola Nov 19, 14:06 8
- They'll be sorry when the zombies attack. -- nm - Ender Nov 19, 14:14 3
  - Yeah. Pistols have unlimited ammo. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:18
  - :) ah we might get lucky and get slow zombies -- nm - Loyola Nov 19, 14:15 1
    - Slow or fast, they still eat your brains. Better pack a lot of torches. -- nm - Trish Nov 19, 14:20
- I may have to go to the shooting range next weekend just to celebrate. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 14:10
- interesting...will be interesting to see how this plays out... -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:09 1
  - I'm sure they have a surplus of assault rifles and molotov cocktails and rocks to even th ings out -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:10

  - yep a Superman Banana Hammock. -- nm - Remlik Nov 19, 14:06
BTW, everything you put in a "to my stalker" post could also be added to your twiki page. I'm just sayin. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 13:56 2
- I've been sayin that for years! -- nm - Max Nov 19, 14:01 1
  - I won't call it a comeback. You've been there for years. -- nm - crash davis Nov 19, 14:16
I'm running a non-scientific poll on my site about Twilight. Only 25 results yet, but here's what we got. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:56 16
- Holy vampire - this is priced for a $61M opening on HSX?!? - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:59 2
  - I tried that with PASON -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:07
  - Waaaait for it. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:00
- Er, 24 results, and sfek. Results inside. - Qale Nov 19, 13:56 10
  - It's cute that Max visits your site so much. -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 14:13 1
    - I read it for the articles. -- nm - Max S.I. Nov 19, 14:14
  - Now ask them what they thought of Harry Potter and Titanic. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 14:04 1
    - They probably love Harry Potter but only for the fanfiction and fan created artwork and likely don't think much about that old boat movie. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:06
  - I was like the 50% but the trailer doesn't look bad. Still though, was going to short at 150 if it was there Friday. No idea what it is now. -- nm - Loyola Nov 19, 14:00 3
    - $171. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 14:03 1
      - Crazy. -- nm - Loyola Nov 19, 14:06
    - I think the trailer looks like a David DeCoteau film with less nudity. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:01
  - I can't imagine your site's visitors are the demographic? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:57 1
    - Oh but they are. GLTanimeC. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:59
- nuthin'? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:56 1
  - Pretty much. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:56
Pippy, How about - amoxy Nov 19, 13:54 4
- *giggles* yes - it does. We need to talk Senior Pictures as well. LOL!!! - Pippy Nov 19, 13:56 3
  - Ouch! More than the ticket...I have not seen the bill as it went over to Mom's house - amoxy Nov 19, 13:58 2
    - I am mildly curious when you find out - if none of my beeswax, just ignore that request -- nm - Pippy Nov 19, 14:01 1
      - Sure I will let you know when I hear -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 14:05
Mos Def's "Black on Both Sides" is $1.99 on amazon today. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:52 1

tenant: "ouch, banged my finger. My wife had a colleague at Bethesda high school who chopped her finger off on a drawer like this." - Max Nov 19, 13:52 3
- "I see, well, since you know what can happen, I'm sure you'll be smart enough to move your hand before closing it." -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 13:55
- Finger banging really can hurt if you aren't careful. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 13:55 1
  - especially with long fingernails and no warning -- nm - TFox's anus Nov 19, 14:17

  - You just wanted to check out the Longshoremen...(nm) - amoxy Nov 19, 14:01 1
    - Asian longshoremen are *hawt* ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 14:09
- and Japanese automakers are having to lease space at the Port of Long Beach because the dealers won't accept new deliveries -- (link) - znufrii Nov 19, 13:54 1
  - I count numerous hybrids in those pictures. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 13:59
I'm so totally applying for this job -- it's the perfect want ad to read on Hump Day. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:51 4
- [deleted] 3
  - Seriously -- what could be more perfect right now? I just need a temp job for a month or two. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:54 2
    - Should I send for the French Maid outfit? -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:57 1
      - I think clothing and accoutrements might be some of the "additional perks." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 14:05
Hmm, my blog's host is down. Weird. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:50 10
- You should blog about it..... oh, shit. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 13:51
- McColo? - oblique Nov 19, 13:51 6
  - Vodahost. Their main site is down for me, too. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:52 5
    - Hey berry, it might be a routing issue! - oblique Nov 19, 13:57
    - I can reach vodahost.com. Maybe it's a routing issue? -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 13:56 1
      - I'm pretty sure it is - either that or they've botched the DNS, and it's only partially propagated. Usually Shaw is slower, though, so that's unlikely -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:57
    - Ha! Now I'm glad I didn't pick them and I'm still procrastinating on mandy's hosting. Hi mandy! *kisses* -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 13:53 1
      - Looks like a routing issue to Shaw, because it works at work. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:54
- (I guess I really *should* have done that full backup I was thinking of) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:51 1
  - .... actually, internetpulse.net isn't working either. Oddly, this is a good sign. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:52
Hawk Apache Double Prop R/C Helicopter $39.99 + $5 shipping -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:50 3
- is it a hawk or is it an apache? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 13:59 2
  - Looks like an apache to me. - psilotum Nov 19, 14:03 1
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 14:06
The backboards are cracking me up. -- (link) - mara Nov 19, 13:49 [Backboard] 4

  - Seize this, honkus! -- nm - Gregory Hines SI Nov 19, 14:23

  - JUST like my mom. too funny. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 14:02
  - Wait ... what? - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:56 3
    - oh he knows - he knows how I feel about this stuff. It is better if I stay away. -- nm - Pippy Nov 19, 14:03 2
      - my dad won't even let my mom talk to the police officer that ticketed her. she tends to go off screaming in French. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 14:09 1
        
        LOL!! I love her -- nm - Pippy Nov 19, 14:12
  - I had an ex that tried to get out of some ticket by going to court. Ended up costing her like 3x as much in court costs - oblique Nov 19, 13:56
- Put a decimal point in there, and I'll think about it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:49 7
  - $18.50? -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 13:50 6
    - Got change for a twenty? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:51 5
      - There'd better be a six pack of beer in this arrangement -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 13:51 4
        
        How 'bout ten bucks and a six-pack of Leinies? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:53 3
        
        Burritos after? -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 13:54 2
        
        Nah ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 19, 13:54 1
