- thing is, the tea baggers hate Wall Street as much as they hate Obama. he should make the GOP go on record before the elections either for or against - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:41 2

  - I don't believe that. I believe teabaggers are more anti-Obama/democrat than anything else. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:43

Over 80 U.S. Companies Call on President Obama & Congress to Enact Comprehensive Climate and Energy Legislation -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jan 21, 09:31 8

  - [deleted] 2
    - you may be right... - Mel Profit Jan 21, 09:45
    - I blame the system. How can you get anything transformational done when 41% of Senators can block anything. Forget about it. -- nm - Loyola Jan 21, 09:44

I had no idea that Jay Leno is Musubi's father. -- nm - David Jan 21, 09:29 9
- If I defended Leno's humor, this shiv might make sense. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:33 6
  - now make fun of his wife! -- nm - Jay Leno Jan 21, 09:34 5
    - Which, I might point out, Leno didn't do. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:37 4
      - Wait a second, is this *actually* Jay Leno using moose's account? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:39 3
        
        I'd be even less funny if I were Leno. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:41 1
        
        So we do have some common ground. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:44
        
        that would explain the spelling mistakes and the fascination with mystery meat -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:40
- "Lover." - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:30
- It actually makes sense. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:30
Ika.org: a sent out a couple pillaging fleets to some new Inactives with a 0 military score...almost 1000 boats later they are still paying off. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:29 10
- on dot com I found a little group of islands with a small alliance - all who seem to have quit. I've been farming it for weeks. - decline Jan 21, 09:34 2
  - I don't even bother on .com. My area is freakin' crazy with pillagers. OK for a couple farms but new Inactives get torched right quick -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:36 1
    - I found it over 10 hours away from me. I set up an MWC there to harvest - decline Jan 21, 09:39
- not just new production either, 3/4 different resources. No idea if the person who cracked them gave up or quit or what. - Beaker Jan 21, 09:30 1
  - My last victim (for over a week) suddenly is in vacation mode. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:32
- In-game details me? - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:30 3
  - MINE! It would probably be a loooong trek for you though. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:32 1
    - if you're interested I will shot you the coors. I did some checking it looks to be a bout a 10 hour one-way trip for you though. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:35
  - where free and I are is D-E-A-D. WAR dominates the area and they seem content to buy and mine. I seem to be the only guy who will farm in my area. -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:31
- My newest lesson learned. We have all faced cities with cooks left behind. No bigee. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:30
it angers me to no end that netflix is blocked at work. Especially since blockbuster is not - sycor Jan 21, 09:27 2
- Can you use sites like logmein.com? Just log onto your home PC -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 09:36
- I guess they're confident no one will go to BB. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:28
I've always liked the idea of doing an 8 or 9 season television "series" that adapts one Robert Heinlein novel per season. - David Jan 21, 09:26 1
- I like the idea of doing a 7 season TV series of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. - Jim Jan 21, 09:30
PSA reminder: Burn Notice premiere tonight. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:26
I will be halo'ing at roughly 9:00 central tonight gents. - groiny Jan 21, 09:26 14
- What is the heart thing? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:26 13
  - scroll down a bit to where it tells you about changing your emblem -- (link) - J Jan 21, 09:27
  - for every person who plays online tonight, and has the red heart emblem - groiny Jan 21, 09:27 10
    - Red Heart emblem? And this is only ODST, right? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:28 8
      - no, Halo3 *or* ODST, but you have to be playing online (matchmaking or custom games both count, as long as XBox Live can see them) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:28 1
        
        i.e. None of this "just practicing" shit, Jax. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 09:29
      - no, Halo3 or ODST. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 09:28 5
        
        So what's the red heart emblem? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:29 4
        
        when you fit your character with differnt armor and stuff, you can select a heart emblem. - groiny Jan 21, 09:30 1
        
        I'll have time tonight to play. I'll have to try this out. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:31
        
        look at my post with the link above -- nm - J Jan 21, 09:30
        
        The link has instructsion on changing your 'patch' design. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:29
    - That's awesome....I'm in for a bit. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:27
  - B3 or 4. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:26
thanks to mafic for the t-shirts! - Guy Jan 21, 09:20
No high-speed internet access makes CT something something... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mobilized Jan 21, 09:20

- Avatar, Crazy Heart......Victoria. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 09:26
- I won't watch any, but based only on what I have read: An Education,Crazy Heart, A Single Man -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 09:26
- Avatar, An Education, A Single Man. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:25
- An Education, Crazy Heart, A Single Man -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:25 1
  - i think these are going to be my 3 picks. very little waiting time with the showtimes. thanks all. -- nm - kelly Jan 21, 09:28
- hmmm... - kelly Jan 21, 09:25
- Are those real movies? - oblique Jan 21, 09:24 1
  - Crazy Heart just won 2 Globes. (song & actor) -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:24
- Crazy Heart, -- nm - Don Homer Jan 21, 09:23 1
  - An Education, Broken Embraces, A Single Man. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 21, 09:24
- A Single Man. Broken, Embraces An Education. -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 21, 09:21
- 1 - Young Victoria, 2 - An Education, 3 - Crazy Heart -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 09:20
- crazy heart, an education -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:20 2
  - You only gave me 2....you must really not like me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:23 1
    - i haven't seen the others but they would be a coin flip for me in terms of interest -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:23
this is the best January ever. it's barely been below freezing, and it's going up to 46* on Monday. - Andie Jan 21, 09:18 1
- I agree ... hope the same is true for February - should be lower heating bills! -- nm - JenBro Jan 21, 09:47
Assassins Creed II for the XBox 360 is the current Gold Box Deal for $38.98. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:16 9
- Completely worth it -- nm - J Jan 21, 09:25 2
  - and it's very easy to get 100% completion....my first platinum trophy -- nm - J Jan 21, 09:28 1
    - My daughters friend is lending it to us soon. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:32
- I'm thinking next will be Dragon Age or Darksiders. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:20 2
  - Darksiders is great. It's like Zelda, but with better character. -- nm - Shaun Jan 21, 09:29
  - I just finished Dragon Age, it's good. - celedhring Jan 21, 09:23
- Worth. It. -- nm - Shaun Jan 21, 09:17 2
  - So, there is no shooting in it? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:18 1
    - well technically there is a bit but no the majority is some cool blade deaths -- nm - J Jan 21, 09:25
TAR contestants announced -- (link) - oblique Jan 21, 09:14 3
- "Jet" and "Cord" (amanda's gonna die) -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:18 1
  - and the Pious brothers - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:18
- Jeff and Jordan! -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:16
Hee. Nice, znu. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 21, 09:13 [Backboard]
LIR: Moose, I'm so not a Jay-hater. He's been my favorite 11:30 host until he left. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:11 44
- Then you're just wrong. Also wrong about Leterman not using stuff from the past. - musubi Jan 21, 09:15
- Letterman's totally injected himself into the NBC mess and done so with such glee that he's become a part of the story. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:14 42
  - maybe cause NBC and Jay f'd him out of the show that Carson wanted him to take over? -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:16 27
    - I agree he did get screwed about it, but he can't pretend that last night's joke was out of bounds either. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:18 26
      - Thing is, afaict, Dave never pretended it was over the line. Will seems to think it is, which is just silly. - musubi Jan 21, 09:19 24
        
        If you're going to go personal (not business), you better be funny. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:22 6
        
        That's BS. *Some* business is personal when you're a celeb. Late night comedians skewer celeb personal life *every day*. - musubi Jan 21, 09:26 5
        
        how is it not involving letterman's wife, when it's his marriage that's mentioned? - b. Jan 21, 09:39 4
        
        Because the humour is about the flaws in his life, not hers. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:47 3
        
        you can't have one without the other there. --nm - b. Jan 21, 09:48 2
        
        So are jokes about Tiger's infidelity an attack on Elin? John Edwards jokes an attack on Elizabeth? Of course not. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:50 1
        
        so much depends on how things are phrased. (that said, I'm not changing your mind; and I give up.) -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:52
        
        it's like someone on ST (who is not lafarrow) going after your mother b/c you zinged them with an st-based shiv -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:21 16
        
        Oh hardly. Letterman set it up because of his own philandering story just three and a half months old. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:25 15
        
        the only reason it became public knowledge is b/c he fell on the sword when the dude tried to blackmail him - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:28 1
        
        And the only reason Lewinski's is known is because Linda Tripp. So what? - musubi Jan 21, 09:35
        
        and he himself made Clinton intern jokes for how many years? -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 09:28 12
        
        Exactly. This stuff about Leno crossing the line cause it's not currently topical is silly. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:32 11
        
        I don't know how to make it any clearer. Letterman has been ruthless on Leno for several days. - Jim Jan 21, 09:38 10
        
        This is *ridiculous*. Letterman *WAS* unfaithful. It's fact. This isn't some random poke. This is like taking offense at Tiger Woods jokes. - musubi Jan 21, 09:41 4
        
        timing matters, man. addressing something from *months* ago as retaliation for something unrelated is cheap. -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:45 2
        
        Letterman constantly refers to Leno taking over the Tonight Show which happened *years* ago. - musubi Jan 21, 09:46 1
        
        jay uses old targets all the time, too. you're missing that my focus was the retaliation tactic. -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:47
        
        Sure...he was unfaithful. So what? It's like getting into an argument with someone at work because of their poor job performance... - Jim Jan 21, 09:44
        
        not every bit of it. There was one reference about how Leno has cars, not kids ... and then there's Big Jaw -- nm - Beryllium Jan 21, 09:40 3
        
        fwiw, I thought he meant the cars thing more as a knock on overimportance of things. -- nm - b. Jan 21, 09:46
        
        Didn't hear the cars not kids thing. And I don't care for the whole "big jaw" thing either. Dave doesn't have to go there to get his point across - Jim Jan 21, 09:41 1
        
        The Chin has been a running joke for *years*. Nothing wrong with that. - musubi Jan 21, 09:44
        
        Yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 09:39
      - He is part of this *because* of the history. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:19
  - He was already part of the story, because of his history with Jay. My point is not that Letterman crossed any lines too, rather that neither have. - musubi Jan 21, 09:16 13
    - Yes, Leno's not funny, but the joke itself is. "How do you get this guy to leave you alone? Marry him." is funny. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:19 12
      - it's not even funny on a funny level -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:22
      - Wow. pixie level humor is funny to you? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:20 10
        
        And humor that is milder that half the jokes made everyday on late night is over the line to you? (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 09:21 9
        
        I don't care about the line. It was not funny. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:24
        
        Exactly. In the context of the last two weeks and with Letterman's recent history, how is that not a good shiv? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:23 7
        
        I believe that if any of the other guys said it, no one would be saying boo. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:26 6
        
        Because either of them would have made it *funny*. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:27 5
        
        So say that it was unfunny, not that he overreacted (shotgun per you B2 post). - musubi Jan 21, 09:31 3
        
        The IM was the key to my message. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:35
        
        it can be both -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 09:33 1
        
        So make a cogent arguement for it being over the line. So far the only rational arguement has been it's unfunny. - musubi Jan 21, 09:36
        
        Word for word. Yet it would be a different reaction. Hell, it's funnier than some of the lines Kimmel did last week that got him tons of praise. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 21, 09:30
This explains the entire late night talk situation better than anything I've seen. -- (link) - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:10 [youtube] 7
- Same guys who did the Tiger thing, no? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Jan 21, 09:15
- I like the realted videos. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:15
- and in English... (but I think it's better in Chinese) -- (link) - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:14 [youtube] 1
  - "Zooker had a bright idea..." -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 09:25
- sure but the 深夜脫口秀大風 argument is stupid IMHO -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 21, 09:12
- Conan actually showed this the other day. -- nm - David Jan 21, 09:11 1
  - I wouldn't know. -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 09:14
Spoiler free Final Fantasy 13 review. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 21, 09:09
I hate "lunch meetings" that don't provide lunch, but just eat up my noon hour because it was available. - TFox Jan 21, 09:09 6
- That's not cool at all, actually. If they have a meeting during that time frame, they pretty much HAVE to provide food, IMO. -- nm - Subversive Jan 21, 09:43
- a lunch meeting is not a lunch meeting unless it's a lunch meeting at a resturant -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 21, 09:14
- so bring lunch to it. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 21, 09:09 3
  - a hot lunch that smells delicious and makes everyone else hungry -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 09:11 2
    - And shake up some cocktails. -- nm - LMS Jan 21, 09:13 1
      - bourbon manhattan, up. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 09:14
Why does everyone hate XP 64 bit? - Subversive Jan 21, 09:08 4
- no itunes, no google calendar sync, and no upgrade path to Windows 7. -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 21, 09:11
- XP 64-bit was kind of a bastard product and not very well supported. Vista was really where 64-bit came into it's own and obviously no Win7 -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 09:09
- no itunes, no google calendar sync, and no upgrade path to Windows 7 -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 21, 09:09
- Also, you are all free to hate me for this terrible first. -- nm - Subversive Jan 21, 09:08
