Can a URL have a space in it? Do browers fix that nowadays? - JaxSean Jan 20, 08:15 2

- LOVE the albino python. -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 08:11
Book club question: I'd like to nominate books, but don't know where to look for a list of books that are out right now. Or past books. Suggestions -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:07 22 1
- Thanks guys, these are great suggestions. I just don't pay attn to the book scene if it's not nonfiction. -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:19 1
- http://www.goodreads.com/book/explore -- (link) - mara Jan 20, 08:10 1
  - Similarly: The LibraryThing zeitgeist -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 08:12
- Go to Amazon. Click on Books. Click on one of the lists. Browse. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 08:10
- Here's the NY Times Bestsellers lists -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 08:09 10
  - Here's Paste Magazines Top 20 Books of the Decade. (but znu is right...nominate anything you want, there are no restrictions) -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 08:11 9
    - I nominate The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I want to read that,. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:21 2
      - Thirded -- nm - LMS Jan 20, 08:25
      - Ooh, I second this. (Is that the first book?) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 08:23
    - Ty97, now that I think about it, I thought of a nomination, if I may. Crichton's posthumous "Pirate Latitudes." - con_carne Jan 20, 08:15 5
      - noted. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 08:17
      - [deleted]
      - seconded -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:16 2
        
        I recently heard an uncharacteristically enthusiastic review of it on NPR. Got my psyched to check it out. -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:17 1
        
        (I think the review used the word "fun" about half a dozen times) -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:22
- look at your bookshelf, go to the library, or nominate something you've always wanted to read. there's nothing saying it has to be a recent release... -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:08
- if only there were places that let people look at books either in person or on line... -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:07 4
  - in that: try amazon or your local library -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:08 3
    - (Bah.) If left to just that, I would constantly nominate nonfiction, which I have a hunch might result in me wasting my votes. - con_carne Jan 20, 08:11 2
      - non-fiction is a completely valid nomination. - ty97 Jan 20, 08:13
      - I think a non-fiction choice would be great. certainly not every month, but once in a while... -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:12
- ? -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:07
Alphaville's Forever Young always evokes a strong sense of melancholy and sadness. - ty97 Jan 20, 08:05 2
- yep. nuclear war is like that. - zork Jan 20, 08:08 1
  - down at the *gay bar* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 08:09
9: B. I thought it was pretty awesome actually. Simple plot, but totally awesome looking. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:04 1
- It's one of those that would probably look awesome in Blu-ray / HD. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 08:11
Wrestlicious Announces TV Deal - Todd Manning Jan 20, 08:03 13
- I am not sure I can take it seriously with that name. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:09 12
  - yeah, GLOW would be a much better name -- nm - CQ Jan 20, 08:14 1
    - one of the people behind GLOW is working on this. -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 08:23
  - It's women's professional wrestling. How seriously are you supposed to take it? -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 08:10 9
    - A tad more than this. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:15 7
      - they would all have to wrestle naked for me to even consider watching it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:16 6
        
        I'm trying to figure out how Jimmy Hart hasn't ended up with TNA since every person Hogan's ever met is there now. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:17 5
        
        there's just not much call for managers. He'll show up at some point in the background I'm sure. -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 08:24
        
        maybe he is not interested? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:18 3
        
        Seems odd given this endeavor. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:19 2
        
        you never know, he might have a higher stake in this. - groiny Jan 20, 08:21 1
        
        *nods* Possible I guess. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:22
    - well, even moreso then. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:14
boston.com Love Letters - He won't do distance. - Diva Jan 20, 08:02 26
- she should bang his best friend. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:12 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I have a lot of friends. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:15
- He's just not that into you. - pmb Jan 20, 08:08
- Honestly, while it sucks, she should appreciate his honesty. She doesn't have to like it... - Jim Jan 20, 08:07 1
  - men can't win. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 08:17
- ummm, "waiting for those three words"??? Is she actually making a decision based on a girl who hasn't told her that he loves her? -- nm - zork Jan 20, 08:07
- *agrees with Diva* -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:06
- Calling Boston to RI "distance" is pretty funny, in all honesty. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:06 1
  - In his defence, if he lived where I do, 2 hours would be the other side of the country. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 08:09
- *Quietly takes Boston.com Love Letters away from Diva* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 08:05
- Take the job, forget about him. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 08:05 12
  - word. if 2 hours away is a deal breaker ladies he has bigger issues. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:05 11
    - I don't know exactly where they live, but I bet it's not even two hours. -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:06 10
      - Saugus - znufrii Jan 20, 08:12 9
        
        Google Maps calls it 1 hr, 1 minute. That's not distance. That's "a typical area commute". -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:15 8
        
        maybe he's got a really slow car, or is afraid of highways... -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:21 4
        
        Maybe he's 8000lbs and can't stand up. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 08:22
        
        If only the commuter rail was easy as shit... -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:22 1
        
        would be if Boston ever got their sh!t together and built the North-South rail link. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:23
        
        damn horse and buggy! -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:22

ST Parents might be interested in this product recall (Graco Strollers, from retailers including ToysRUs/BabiesRUs) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 20, 08:01
Upcoming porn parodies from Hustler - Todd Manning Jan 20, 07:59 4
- mmmm Glee -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:02 2
  - I'd watch some Rachel and Quinn porn. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 08:09 1
    - their parodies from the pictures I've seen try and get their actors/actresses to look alot like the real deal so...... -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:09
- *holds out for This Ain't Jersey Shore XXX* -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 08:02
Watched the first half of Julie and Julia last night. Julia had an annoying voice. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 07:58 2
- that's true to the real life Julia, no? -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 20, 08:04 1
  - I imagine so. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 08:05

    - and if they lose I bet at least half blow it off anyway -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:57
Hit-and-run driver's escape is halted ... by the bus I take every day. Glad I was already home when this happened. :) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:55
Things you learn: Frank Goes to Hollywood had at least three #1's in the UK. -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:51 11
- Theres often a huge difference with UK versus US music. One of my favourite groups had five number one albums in the UK but barely charted in the US - Walt_Disney Jan 20, 08:00 7
  - This has always been the case, since at least the British Invasion -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 08:04
  - I think part of it goes to BBC's requirement to play 50% British acts (I believe) - ty97 Jan 20, 08:03 3
    - But it's also that people like good, local products. There's no requirement in Australia that radio stations play x% Australian content, but there - Roger More Jan 20, 08:08 2
      - A lot of huge acts wouldn't have broken through if not for Canadian content rules -- nm - zork Jan 20, 08:09 1
        
        Sure, but Canada's a lot closer to the States geographically, and Australia is more of a monoculture than Canada is. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:12
  - We got a pretty good blend of the UK and US releases, and usually got UK ones before they went to the US -- nm - zork Jan 20, 08:03
  - Oh I love the Stereophonics. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 08:02
- Relax, Two Tribes and what? -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 07:54 1
  - "The Power of Love". Also: "FGTH became only the second act in the history of the UK charts to reach number one with their first three singles" -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:57
- So he's like Rick Schroeder now? Doesn't want anyone to call him Frankie anymore? - zork Jan 20, 07:54
Polanski's lawyers might have a point...if he hadn't raped a child. -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 07:49 2
- ... drugged and ... (right?) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:51 1
  - right -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:51

just to bring it forward from b3, Happy birthday WaltDisney! -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 20, 07:43 1
- Thanks everyone :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 20, 08:00
A gem from Awkward Family Photos. Gotta wonder if maybe they just don't like the kid in the red shirt. -- (link) - mara Jan 20, 07:43 23
- This one rocks!! -- (link) - Jim Jan 20, 08:16
- and the geekiest thread of the month goes to... -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:59
- I love this site. One picture a day. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:57 [Image] 3
  - The anatomical furry suit family still makes me laugh hysterically -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:59 2
    - oh gawd, yes, but uncomfortable at the same time. - zork Jan 20, 08:04
    - my favorites... - Mel Profit Jan 20, 08:01
- TNG uniforms, so he's the only command officer there -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:45 16
  - What's really awkward is that only the one on the bottom left is wearing proper rank insignia. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 07:55 1
    - The pips are expensive to order. (Authentic ones, at least) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:56
  - Am I a geek for also knowing this? He is dressed like Picard and the Jonathan Frakes character -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 07:47
  - Correct. Blue is Science, Yellow is expendable. Not sure what purple dress means in terms of rank, but it's a great dress :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:45 12
    - The real question isn't "what does the purple dress mean", it's "what the hell kind of dress code did Counselor Troi have anyway?" -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 07:49 3
      - She does have a blue uniform but the dress makes the patients...comfortable -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 20, 07:59 1
        
        I believe she only started wearing the uniforms after she passed the bridge officers' exam. Before that she was ineligible as indicated by her title - zork Jan 20, 08:01
      - "anything that shows the twins" -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:51
    - Yellow was security in TNG.... -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:47 7
      - And red was security in TOS. That's the point. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:49 6
        
        (Actually, it was security and engineering ... I think( -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:57 5
        
        Yeah, Geordie wears yellow -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:00 4
        
        And scottie wears red -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 08:01 3
        
        I think you guys are agreeing TNG swapped red and yellow -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 20, 08:08 2
        
        Yes, but ST thrives on the perception of conflict -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:13
        
        Yes, we are -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 08:08
I'm going to leave a Book Club nomination thread here. Am about to go to bed, but will pick up noms from the thread in the morning -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 07:40 1
- my unrealistic suggestion is 2666 by Roberto Bolano - Callisto Jan 20, 07:59
well, sure. - Andie Jan 20, 07:39 4
- but look at the bottom-feeding life they are condemned to live -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:39
- i swear this was under mara's post. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 07:39 2
  - The ST Shrimps moved it up here -- nm - Redmond Jan 20, 07:39 1
    - See?? Effin shrimps! I hate 'em! -- nm - God Jan 20, 07:45
lyc, I am having extra difficulty typing coherently today. not just at st, but for work stuff. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 20, 07:39 6
- it's cause you're old now. you start to deteriorate. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 07:39 5
  - probably. my fingers do seem to not want to function correctly. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 20, 07:40
  - I am still in shock that tru is younger than I am -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:40 3
    - heh. - tRuMaN Jan 20, 07:40 2
      - I can't believe ... - zork Jan 20, 07:42
      - Happy B-Day+1! -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:41
God hates shrimp. -- (link) - mara Jan 20, 07:34 6
- I read the "About" page. That's pretty damn thorough for a parody site. Me likey. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 07:43
- on the contrary, he loves them so much he wants us to leave them be and not eat them. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:40 1
  - so why does he let them be "unclean" -- nm - zork Jan 20, 07:43
- holy crap, that's so ridiculous. BTW, Moses should have hired a better editor. - zork Jan 20, 07:39 2
  - I know, right? To make a long story short, Too Late! -- nm - CQ Jan 20, 07:44 1
    - I guess that's what you get when you have 400 years to keep going back to it -- nm - zork Jan 20, 07:47
