Did we see Fire & Ice from The Big Picture? (Ice comes off *way* better) -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 20, 07:30 2
- Several very cool pics in there. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 20, 07:31 1
  - Monday's "Haiti six days later" collection has some outstanding shots (and some that are rather gruesome) -- nm - prayformojo Jan 20, 07:33
Speaking of Ben Affleck, I've had this urge to watch Bounce again. It has one of my favorite character moments ever. -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:14
Okay, here's how we'll do this Book Club thing: - ty97 Jan 20, 07:08 13
- Nomination: The Book of Lost Things -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:19 1
  - link -- (link) - znufrii Jan 20, 07:27
- Possible amendment that might work well for this group: Only pick books that are being adapeted into upcoming movies? - Dano Jan 20, 07:09 10
  - I think there may be an interest in books that are becoming movies, and I encourage their nomination, but don't want to limit. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:11 5
    - ok. Soon I Will Be Invincible, by Austin Grossman. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:12 2
      - did you see the clip I posted last night? -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:30 1
        
        yes, it's what made me want to read the book. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:31
    - There's this book I've been wanting to read. Something about Calamity... -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:12 1
      - I look at the glowing reviews of that book at LibraryThing and am still flabbergasted. - ty97 Jan 20, 07:18
  - That might mean we end up with graphic novels and Nicholas Sparks. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:10 3
    - At least we'd all be married to Amy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:11 2
      - You could ahve a different theme every month though - nominate books being made into movies / books set in Africa / books written in the 1920s etc -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:20 1
        
        I think we could have fun with some themes, after we get things up and running and 'healthy' -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:23
well, just got my comp review. - znufrii Jan 20, 07:01
Holy Shit, I just pulled the nutritional values from Jason's Deli...... - groiny Jan 20, 06:53 17
- heh. the 'Club Lite' has more calories than the Reuben. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 06:57
- IIRC, they have a few manageable things, but yeah. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:54 9
  - I was getting the ranchero wrap (grilled chicken, wrap shell, veggies), thinking how bad can that be? - groiny Jan 20, 07:01 8
    - Is there some sort of lard sauce on it? -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 07:08 1
      - right??? - groiny Jan 20, 07:09
    - what the....how many calories are you eating in a day? - ty97 Jan 20, 07:01 5
      - between 1100 and 1200, I allow a bit of flex there. - groiny Jan 20, 07:02 4
        
        When I did my calorie restriction diet, I allowed myself one day per week of maintenance level calories. -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:07 3
        
        I try to be as strict as possible between 1100 and 1200.... - groiny Jan 20, 07:08 2
        
        that's some dedication there. - ty97 Jan 20, 07:12 1
        
        yeah, I tried the points for a bit. - groiny Jan 20, 07:14
- Or belly. 'Cause that's what probably gets through the door first. -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:54 5
  - actually, aim a tad lower. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 06:59 4
    - McAlister's? -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 07:01 1
      - *smack* nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:02
    - Those are some impressive kneecaps. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 07:00
    - Jason's is good, but you should not be that excited for it. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:00
[deleted] 22
- Also, I'm pretty sure the "have" is fucked up too. Should be "has". -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:49 10
  - or, i dunno. If it was "neither... nor", it would be "have". but written like this, it looks like it ought to be "has". maybe not. - TFox Jan 20, 06:51 9
    - I also had that reaction. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:53 8
      - Ready... aim... -- nm - Pinkcoat militia Jan 20, 07:07
      - i do *not* listen to rape music! - TFox Jan 20, 06:55 6
        
        I think a lot of what you listen to rapes the ears -- nm - zork Jan 20, 07:32
        
        oh yeah? What do you call Slipknot then? -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 07:01 1
        
        noise. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:12
        
        yikes, that's an unfortunate typo. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:56 2
        
        "Stop muffdiving me!" "I can't! The music, it compels me!" -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:57 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 07:02
- Sure. But lose the commas. -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:47
- don't think I've ever seen it used like that, always in conjuntion with "neither". -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 06:46
- Why wouldn't you use "Neither" there as well? -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:46 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - Not acceptable. Everyone missed it. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 06:48
    - This says it can be used independently, but I would suggest not in the manner he used it. -- (link) - TFox Jan 20, 06:48 4
      - Nor always has to be paired with another negative, like 'neither' or 'not' - Roger More Jan 20, 06:51 1
        
        oh, this is a good point. so in the sentence Dawson is quoting, it's totally off. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:52
      - [deleted]
      - This was going to be my answer. Nor can be used without neither, but I don't like this specific usage. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:50
- neither nor -- nm - Don Homer Jan 20, 06:46

- heh, was looking at that this morning. There are actually some reasonable ones out there - decline Jan 20, 06:51
sitwap - Shaq wants an Ultimate Dunk Contest with half the proceeds going to Haiti (Lebron pussed out after promising to enter last year) -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 06:34 4
- Shaq is still a genius. - TFox Jan 20, 06:35 3
  - ST is nothing if not repetitive -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 06:36

    - #sitwap -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:38
Food for thought: I'm really thinking of making a go at ST Book Club again. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:28 10
- Just don't let me pick the book. -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:04
- The "Pick a book a month" club? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 06:39 4
  - (This is me soliciting input, but I will be fistish with decidering on the answer) Would ST be up for a book a month, or one every two months? -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:41 3
    - I liked the book a month. I tried to keep up. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 06:43
    - I would be up for it if it was every two months. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 06:43
    - What I'd suggest: a book a month, but set the calendar a few months in advance. - TFox Jan 20, 06:43
- i endorse this plan, and especially endorse the fist. - TFox Jan 20, 06:34 1

  - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 1
    - It's about as crazy as half the serious shit I heard on the radio coming in. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 06:46
- I didn't know there were that many gay people in MA. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 06:38 2
  - Provincetown has a militia now, and they've been annexing towns and moving east at a rapid clip. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:39 1
    - "The Pinkcoats are coming! The Pinkcoats are coming!" -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:40
- I'm not pissed and $10 bucks says Scott Brown is gay. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 20, 06:35
- Note to the Republican Party: you piss *on* the gays, and success is youtrs! -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:28 3

    - ST is nothing if not repetitive. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:36
    - just riffing on what you hand me, broseph. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:33
ST Poll -- At what age did you get your first cell phone? - znufrii Jan 20, 06:21 22
- 32 or 33 -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 07:05
- It was probably 21. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 07:00
- 25. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 06:45 1
  - Only cuz I was traveling 75miles for a job and woman and needed soemthing to avoid the stranded nature. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 06:45
- My daughter got hers at 13. I don't count since I'm old and don't remember. - JaxSean Jan 20, 06:41
- 21. -- nm - Jelly Jan 20, 06:40

- 21 or 22 -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:26
- [deleted]
- 25 or so. -- nm - decline Jan 20, 06:26
- 43, which means I've had a cellphone for 16 years. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 20, 06:25
- Hmm. 21, I think. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 20, 06:25
- 20 -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:23

[deleted] 19
- *considers registering with one of the parties for voting purposes* - ty97 Jan 20, 06:17 18
  - all the cool kids are doing it... - znufrii Jan 20, 06:21 6
    - This is a good point. I'm moving, probably, in 6 or less weeks. That throws a kink. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:25 5
      - and it's a good thing I checked just now. - znufrii Jan 20, 06:34
      - you're moving? didn't you JUST movie? -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 06:33 3
        
        Moving 1.5 miles. My brother/roommate is buying a place. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:35 2
        
        Wait--I thought him buying a place was to get away from you. -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:42 1
        
        ha! He looks at me and sees dollar signs to offset his mortgage. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 06:44

  - Why my state is silly: they openly endorse affiliating with a party at the polling place on election day, voting, and then unaffiliating as you leave. - TFox Jan 20, 06:18 9
    - I'd just as soon do away with the party primary system altogether - znufrii Jan 20, 06:25 2
      - (we know.) -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:26 1
        
        ST is nothing if not repetetive. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 06:34
    - I wish I could do this. I certinaly see downsides to it though. - ty97 Jan 20, 06:24 3
      - on a similar point, I voted for John McCain in 2000 in the MA primary. - znufrii Jan 20, 06:26
      - My state is lucky if even one person runs in the Republican primary for most races. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:25 1
        
        (but I'm pretty sure my dad did this in 08 at Rush's behest.) -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:26
    - Your state is silly for way more reasons than that. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 20, 06:19 1
      - This is the truthiest thing you will say all month. We are mad silly. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 06:23
Ben Affleck is great in Extract. He's really a better actor than people give him credit for. More like a history of choosing mediocre scripts. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 20, 06:13
When is nubby -not- pantless? - ty97 Jan 20, 06:12 2
- Only around you. -- nm - nubby Jan 20, 06:25

Today's 'people are dumb' story: - Andie Jan 20, 06:08 4
- The best part is that she thinks *you're* stupid. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 06:39
- well, it's probably what happened -- nm - marcel Jan 20, 06:15
- ignore all the typos in the IM, thanks. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 06:12
- heh, probably a lot fewer words to mobile text than the explanation. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 20, 06:11
I would hate to have the name "Don Glover". -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 20, 06:07
