Lil' Vermin has an ear AND a respiratory infection, thanks to that four-walled petri dish that calls itself a daycare. - Daddy Vermin Jan 19, 14:42 1
- dude, get used to it. - groiny Jan 19, 14:44
Voice of Florida Gators indicted for child porn. - David Jan 19, 14:42 8
- I saw this earlier. "One Count" leads me to give him the possibility that it was something emailed and he's getting punished for it. - JaxSean Jan 19, 14:46
- There are many terrible jokes that shouldn't be made. -- nm - the nubbyphone Jan 19, 14:46 1

    - (is this as big a story in Bama as it is here?) -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:46
  - lets not get carried away here. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:45
  - heh -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:45

"Think of it this way. If the Democrats lose badly in November � as seems likely, with their current weak and unconvincing narrative about the - Loyola Jan 19, 14:34 6
- just as a matter of perspective, Obama is in pretty much the same position Reagan was in during his first term -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:35 5
  - This is a good point. Even if Obama struggles going into 2012, who his opponent is will matter. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 14:43 2
    - There just seems to be... no one on the Republican side for President in 2012 that I think is valid -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:47 1
      - Define "valid". At this point in the '08 election cycle Obama probably wasn't "valid" yet. -- nm - Ender Jan 19, 14:52
  - And Clinton iirc. -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 14:37
  - minus the failed assassination attempt... -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 14:36
I knew author Robert Parker had passed, but did not know about Erich Segal. -- (link) - Diva Jan 19, 14:30
Any exit polling in Mass. yet? -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 14:28 1
- [deleted]
That's just... an awful nickname. -- (link) - Reagen Jan 19, 14:28 2
- "dude, you're TOAST!!!" nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:29 1
  - I have to admit when I saw his picture the other day I wondered if he choked on a doughnut -- nm - zork Jan 19, 14:41
Cnet's interview with Ford CEO Alan Mulally is actually pretty darn good. The guy's smart and entertaining. -- (link) - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 14:26
SITWAP: Fox registers conanonfox.com - howie Jan 19, 14:24 7
- registered on Jan. 12 -- (link) - zork Jan 19, 14:46
- If he really can't compete until September, he will be on vacation as long as he was Tonight Show host. How random. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:29 5
  - In keeping with a theme, he'll be the Roger Lazenby of the Tonight Show. -- nm - Diva Jan 19, 14:33 4
    - *George* Lazenby (as if there's not enough confusion down the board) - Roger More Jan 19, 14:35 2
      - Also, that's *not* how you spell Roger Moore. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:43
      - i'm the silly. whoops! -- nm - Diva Jan 19, 14:37
    - *swoon* And Lee Majors! Hrrrrrm. -- nm - Marge Simpson Jan 19, 14:34
"Mom. Librarian. Bellydancer. Warrior Princess." heh -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 14:23 1
- add: Spiderman -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:23
Speaking of receivers, the house I'm looking at has in-wall wired for TV, so I may finally buy that damn receiver, but... - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 14:22 9
- if all sound will be through the receiver, then only one hdmi cable is needed to the tv - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:26 4
  - and yes, there are 1.4 hdmi receivers out (or at least shown) but i dont think you want to spend a couple of grand for one. - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:27 3
    - i think more like 6 months from being in the new models of mid range recievers - stewie Jan 19, 14:29 2
      - cept 3dtv is probably years away too, so why rush? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 19, 14:43 1
        
        all the tv manufacturers are going to start selling it this year -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:47
- I think this is english...... nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:26
- HDMI 1.4 receivers aren't out yet I don't think... they will support 3D, 1.3 doesn't - stewie Jan 19, 14:25 2
  - That's what I've been reading. If you're using HDMI 1.3, then you need to run an optical back to the receiver. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 19, 14:28 1
    - I'd rather just keep my uncompressed audio and not buy a new tv... -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:32
LYC: I hate how slow my computer is at printing pdfs -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 14:22
Dammit, my friggin receiver the Onkyo 606 gives me a damn No Signal error for tv. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 14:20 3
- does the cable box straight to the tv work? -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:22 2
  - I gotta take it all apart to find out. - Will Hunting Jan 19, 14:24 1
    - try it with a different cable too -- nm - stewie Jan 19, 14:33
voter turnout in Boston strong early (55k v. 24k for the whole special primary) -- (link) - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:19 4
- I'm intrigued why a larger turnout is supposed to help Coakley, if the polls show Brown ahead. - Dr.Vermin also has two guns! Jan 19, 14:24 3
  - Pixie's mostly right. It's the "Oh wow, the Republican might win, so I better get out and vote," mentality. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 14:49
  - Polls rely on "likely voter" models. Greater than expected turnout screws with those models making the results suspect. - TWuG Jan 19, 14:35
  - mostly the overwhelming Dem registration advantage in the state -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:30
This seems too good to be true. Harvest the power of Wifi hotspots to charge your phone. - Ender Jan 19, 14:15
Day shift repost! It's been a long time since I've posted a DJ set I've done on the internets. I am proud of this one. Please enjoy. - Qale Jan 19, 14:15
I think it's a fine goal to not raise your voice around your kids. - Inigo Jan 19, 14:04 56
- Hopefully they will learn, as Roger More did yesterday... - Dr.Vermin Jan 19, 14:13 26
  - it was James Bond, not Roger More -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:15 24
    - are we sure it wasn't ian fleming? - dogbert Jan 19, 14:23 9
      - The guy who threatened to sue because somebody made a pedophilia joke about him. -- nm - mara Jan 19, 14:33 8
        
        I just want to note, that it was not me that made that comment. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:34 7
        
        man, Dr. Tron started logging TT posts *right* after this happened - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:41 6
        
        Wasn't it RKD? (nm) - musubi Jan 19, 14:43 4
        
        it appears from the later posts you might be right - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:45 2
        
        One of the original prophets and ML's future political rival. You probably knew him as Earl the Car. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:45 1
        
        honk! -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:46
        
        He was first but ian fleming threatened to see *several* people. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:45
        
        had I been around, I probably WOULD have made the comment. - groiny Jan 19, 14:42
    - (I can see where you might be confused, though) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:15 13
      - I give up. Same color eyes? -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:22 9
        
        (hint) - musubi Jan 19, 14:29 8
        
        I was joking -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:33 2
        
        I was wondering - that was a tough one to pick :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:36 1
        
        I mean, eyes. I kinda reached for that one. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:39
        
        Kids today *shakes head* -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:30 4
        
        I don't know how you put up with it. You're a saint. nm - Dignan Jan 19, 14:32 3
        
        *throws rotten vegetables* -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:33 2
        
        People are starving in Haiti, pixie. nm - Dignan Jan 19, 14:35 1
        
        They drink the sand because they don't know the difference, Dignan. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 14:39
      - No kidding! I even went to Dr.STalk before posting! -- nm - Silly Vermin Jan 19, 14:18
      - ha -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:16
      - *laughing* -- nm - mara Jan 19, 14:16
  - *furiously searches Dr S Talk* - Roger More Jan 19, 14:14
- I honestly believe a lot of it stems from experience and maturity. My older brothers had a much different childhood than I did. -- nm - David Jan 19, 14:12 3
  - I watched my little brother basically run the house... - Mel Profit Jan 19, 14:13 2
    - Yeah, I think for most parents it's what David said combined with not having as much energy. -- nm - Inigo Jan 19, 14:20 1
      - ...for how they treat their youngest, I mean. -- nm - Inigo Jan 19, 14:20
- but how are they supposed to know when you're mad then? -- nm - dogbert Jan 19, 14:12
- I don't know how my parents could have managed raising six of us without *raising* their voices -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 14:08 3
  - (should be "*without* raising", obvie) -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 14:10 2
    - *I'm* Ron Burgundy? -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 14:10 1
      - will he get that reference? -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:10
- This is the thing I always think about. Prior to having kids, I though I'd never raise my voice with my kids. - musubi Jan 19, 14:06 12
  - Ashlee is jealous of the effect my stern, somewhat raised, voice has on Connor. - Stephen Jan 19, 14:23 5
    - Ashlee is jealous of the effect my *stem*, somewhat raised -- nm - what dogbert read Jan 19, 14:25
    - moms can not be stern with little boys. - groiny Jan 19, 14:24 3
      - This is true. Ashlee has a hard time being stern with Connor. - Stephen Jan 19, 14:37 1
        
        of course he does. - groiny Jan 19, 14:40
      - HA! -- nm - con_carne as a lad Jan 19, 14:25
  - True and yet, I still don't think I *really* raise my voice that much. My kids will say I yelled at them and I always think "they have no idea". My - pmb Jan 19, 14:16 3
    - I don't think I do it a lot (and yeah not with the fury that it *could be*) but still more often than I thought. - musubi Jan 19, 14:26
    - Same here. I don't think I've ever lost my temper, but sometimes my voice is louder, and has a bit of anger to it. -- nm - Inigo Jan 19, 14:18
    - I yell. - groiny Jan 19, 14:17
  - heck, I thiought I would never raise my voice to my nephews, but damned if the oldest one acknowledges anything someone says quieter than a - dogbert Jan 19, 14:15
  - better to raise your voice than your hand. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:14
- When I lived with the magician and his son, he would rarely raise his voice, but explicitly apologize to the boy when he did. - con_carne Jan 19, 14:06 3
  - How does the line "when I lived with the magician and his son", go on TT and not get commented on? - musubi Jan 19, 14:08 2
    - Yep, that's his trade. He was usually gone on Fri/Sat nights, and the boy would be with his mom. Which meant place to myself! -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 14:13
    - Sounds like the 8th Narnia book. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 14:10
- I plan to keep my kids in line with tickling and the threat of tickling. -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:05 2
  - Mine will understand the gravity of the pepper spray holster at a very young age. nm - Dignan Jan 19, 14:07 1
    - "Son, when a girl has pepper spray, you just move on to the next target." -- nm - Dignan si Jan 19, 14:09
Dano - i haven't seen Shark Tank - Andie Jan 19, 14:01 15
- It's on right after Supernanny here so that's why I asked. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 14:11
- and it's much much better - J Jan 19, 14:09 13
  - screw you. our sharks can eat your dragons any day of the week -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:09 12
    - nuh uh, dragons breath fire -- nm - J Jan 19, 14:10 11
      - Which is going to be useless under water. -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 14:12 10
        
        water dragons breathe lightning. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 14:19
        
        nope they will fly above the water then breath fire to evaporate all the water leaving the sharks helpless and dying -- nm - J Jan 19, 14:15 6
        
        you know how just plain stupid this plan sounds, right? -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:16 5
        
        you started the stupid -- nm - J Jan 19, 14:18 4
        
        sharks eating dragons is hardly stupid -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:18 3
        
        sure it is, their stomachs aren't nearly big enough -- nm - J Jan 19, 14:20 2
        
        The sharks are hunting in packs! -- nm - Dano Jan 19, 14:21 1
        
        so are the dragons.... -- nm - J Jan 19, 14:25
        
        The makers of Mega-Shark vs Giant Octopus have just found their sequel -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:12 1
        
        since the first one so clearly ends with an underwater orgy, are we talking Humungous Octo-Shark versus Fire-Breathing Dragon? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:14
I want full veto authority on all new members. (nm) - musubi Jan 19, 14:01 9
- maybe I could just make it a mandatory minimum quota of posts that other people have favourited. :D -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:02 7
  - But that would mean we would have to *gasp* read the other board -- nm - Roger More Jan 19, 14:04
  - You know it'd be easier if you just let me rule TT with an iron fist. - musubi Jan 19, 14:04 4
    - memo to bery: do *not* do this - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:08 3
      - As King I'll need a court jester. You may do a funny dance as your audition. (nm) - musubi Jan 19, 14:09 2
        
        and it'll still be funnier than anything in "Dr. Horrible" -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 14:10 1
        
        This right here is why we can never meet in real life. - musubi Jan 19, 14:11
  - (However, the odds of us having to withstand such an influx are extremely slim) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:03
- I want veto authority on old members. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 14:01
The Human Centipede clips -- (link) - Dano Jan 19, 13:59 [youtube] 4
- I can't imagine how filming a movie like that must be like - Guigue Jan 19, 14:15 1
  - how=what -- nm - Guigue Jan 19, 14:16
- I should have had the foresight to detect all Human Centipede posts as "POSITIVELY not safe for work". heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 14:01
