- sounds like she was pulling a Jack Dawson and lying about her location. -- nm - Guy Feb 5, 11:24
- she obviously wanted the person on the other end of the line to think she was somewhere she wasn't and you ruined is for her. - znufrii Feb 5, 11:20 1
  - she totally ignored what I said, then realized about a minute later that she was giving the wrong directions. I didn't say it loud enough for dude on - mafic Feb 5, 11:24
- maybe she was intentionally fibbing about where she was -- nm - zork Feb 5, 11:20
- ooooooh, the olympics politeness police will be all over you for this one. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:19
- i'm not sure why people who are talking loud enough for you to hear think they're having a private conversation... - x Feb 5, 11:19 2
  - word (so to speak). I appreciated someone I worked with who when on a private convo would talk very quietly and cover her mouth. - zork Feb 5, 11:22
  - tell her that mafic. tell her that to her face -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 11:20
- Moral of the story? MYFB :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:17
Looks like AMC Best Picture Showcase has been announced - and they're letting voters decide the lineup. - evil crash davis Feb 5, 11:15 3
- so they actually are showing less movies in a year when there are more nominees? weak -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 11:19 1
  - wait, what? No, it's over two Saturdays. They're showing all 10 nominees, but you get to vote on what gets shown on Feb 27 with Avatar. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 11:23
- sfan -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 11:16

- whoa. -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 11:17
- Seriously? This is your severance award from the last job? Call out the hounds! -- nm - TWuG Feb 5, 11:16 4
  - I'm on the phone with the hounds right now. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 5, 11:17 3
    - Make sure they pay the bounce fee. That's bullcrap. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:17 2
      - I can't believe how fucked up these people are. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 5, 11:18 1
        
        that's putting it mildly -- nm - JenBro Feb 5, 17:27
- whoa. seriously? Did they cancel it, or are they just tards? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:15 1
  - Wachovia is checking for me right now. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 5, 11:22
In a shocking ruling (for Australia), court rules that ISPs don't have obligation to enforce copyright on its users. - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:12 6
- That seems surprisingly rational. Good for them. Would that we would do the same. -- nm - TWuG Feb 5, 11:16 4
  - It's just a call for them to change their laws. I don't expect this to last. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:22
  - we do -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 11:16 2
    - Do we? Then why is the RIAA so successful in getting ISPs to do their dirty work? - TWuG Feb 5, 11:18
    - nm, i'm thinking libel/defamation, not copyright -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 11:18
- Download away bitches! -- nm - mafic si Feb 5, 11:15

- hah, there's one for Ignatieff called "Can this Inanimate Carbon Rod get more fans than Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff?" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:15 2
  - trick question. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:17 1
    - *ding!* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:17
I just got an email from the AFI theater in Silver Spring saying they're closed tomorrow, I wonder if AMC and Regal will do the same here. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 11:10
Dude! Fuzzy!! You gotta spill! How was Disney World? - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:06 5
- It was great! - Fuzzy Feb 5, 11:25
- Disney World as always sucks ass. I still never get the draw of that place -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 11:12 3
  - You're on the list! Go stand in the corner! -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:17 2
    - heh, glad to be on that list. -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 11:18 1
      - Yeah, but now you gotta stand in the corner. Fair warning: nubby was the last one in that corner, and we haven't had janitorial services since. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:19
Andie's the "winner". Yup. Layton's got prostate cancer. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 5, 11:05 8
- Taking a leave of absence as NDP leader. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 5, 11:12 5
  - *goes to U.S. for treatment* - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:20 2
    - no reason to. - Andie Feb 5, 11:40
    - that would be political suicide for Layton. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:22
  - comments a cesspool, but then what's new? -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:12 1
    - Exactly. It's like winter. Nasty, but nothing can be done. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 5, 11:22
- Yeah, when you start taking back pain, cancer is always a scary possibility. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:06
- Cancer sucks. -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 11:06
Has anyone tried Star Trek Online yet? How do you like it? -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 5, 11:04 1
- I'd like to, but I don't think I'll ever find the time. -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 11:10
The kidlet was quite upset that school wasn't cancelled. Nada on the ground when she left at 7:20. Now, there's 2 or 3 inches of heavy white snow - TWuG Feb 5, 11:04
Forever's gonna start tonight. -- nm - nubby Feb 5, 11:01 2
- When you start dancing for the reckless and the broken-hearted? -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 11:03
- Nothing's gonna stop us now. -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 11:03
Kovalchuk traded to the Devils. Guy Incognito does happy dance. -- (link) - Guy Feb 5, 11:00 10
- they gave up very little too, great trade for NJ -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 11:04 9
  - except he's a rental. When's the last time a blockbuster rental deal made the difference for a cup winner? -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:05 8
    - he fills a needed role though. Pens didn't really need Hossa. too often those trades try to force a marquee player into a lineup that was already - Guy Feb 5, 11:23 1
      - my philosophy though is that if you don't have the team to make the run, one more guy isn't putting you over the edge. - Reagen Feb 5, 11:25
    - Hey man, I tried really hard OK? Geez. -- nm - Marian Hossa Feb 5, 11:06 5
      - That wasn't a rental deal. He signed for less money to go there. - Reagen Feb 5, 11:07 4
        
        HE was traded to Pittsburgh, he took less money to go to Detroit. -- nm - AJRimmer Feb 5, 11:14
        
        He was a rental for Pitt that year. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:08 2
        
        Pittsburgh didn't win it all -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:09 1
        
        And they didn't win. See? -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:10
friday hax chat not really a q: her SO is seriously judgmental about her tastes in everything (judge away!) - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 10:58 7
- She's dating Guy? - pmb Feb 5, 11:10
- he's pompous, that's the problem. -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 11:05
- Kick him in the balls then fuck the Doorman -- nm - amoxy Feb 5, 11:03 1
  - When did you get a job as a doorman? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:08
- shutup, JackDawson! -- nm - znufrii Feb 5, 11:01
- sounds like a condescending prick -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 11:01

One bad thing about wearing Chuck's All-Stars in winter. Your feet are always freezing. hate cold -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 10:54 2
- The high price of fashion! -- nm - TWuG Feb 5, 11:02
- And if there's snow on the ground, it creeps into your socks through the little holes on the side. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 5, 10:56
The Super Hero Bowl: Marvel vs. DC -- (link) - Shaun Feb 5, 10:51 9
- yeah that was a Micheal Turner art based version. thankfully they've moved away from that. -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 10:57 7
  - Explain. Did they make her not as slutty looking? -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:59 6
    - yes. they toned down the slut factor and eliminated the panty shots in her comics. They made her more teenage like.... - Remlik Feb 5, 11:01 5
      - a step in the wrong direction if you ask me. -- nm - Greg Land Feb 5, 11:04
      - "Panties"? Is that what cheerleaders, figure skaters, and bikini models are wearing? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 11:04 1
        
        it was pretty blatant what they were doing. In fact it was so bad the head of the Superman offiice had to issue an order... - Remlik Feb 5, 11:10
      - Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:02
      - when Sterling Gates took over as writer the book really shot up in quality (story and art wise). -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 11:02
- Super Lift and Separate. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 10:57
anyone speak chinese and panda? they're looking for a butterstick translator -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 10:50
Possibly the greatest 3 minute game on the internet today. (I scored 6 under) -- (link) - Loyola Feb 5, 10:49 3 1
- i actually tried, but i can't make the balls do more than go a few feet -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 11:04
- -5 with 2 triple bogeys -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 11:00
- +2. I got a ho' in one (on a par 5), but missed the last 3, so triple bogeys on all three -- nm - flavorize Feb 5, 10:59
x: I will grant Bioshock that it has an extremely unique "Lost art deco nuveaux" era feel to it. They nailed that. It was other aspects that I didn't - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:49 37
- i guess i should clarify that the reason i'll probably never play bioshock has little to so with subject matter.... - x Feb 5, 10:52 25
  - [deleted] 3
    - i do realize that bioshock is supposedly a cut above. i just don't think i'll ever get around to it.... - x Feb 5, 11:03 1
      - does ralph wiggum ever have a game for you -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 11:04
    - agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 10:58
  - while I acknowledge your comment inside as extremely fair, I'll posit that in videogames its not the destination but the journey that matters -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 10:56 15
    - my general reaction to that journey is a hearty "are we there yet?"....nm - x Feb 5, 11:06
    - In this regard, games like Halo tend to fail. Yet somehow, games like MW1 and MW2 and Half-Life 2 succeed. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:57 13
      - When the story is between 6-8 hours, the story really needs to matter. This is why Halo fails. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:01 6
        
        Especially true with ODST. I got bored and haven't finished it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:07 3
        
        I liked ODST's story better, but it's nothing to write home about. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:07 2
        
        the sad thing is, I think the Halo universe is pretty intense and interesting. It just seems like a game isn't the best medium for it :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:09 1
        
        Maybe they will snap out of it for Reach. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:12
        
        "I do know how to pick 'em." By which I mean WRONG! -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 11:04 1
        
        I don't really care for the story of Halo. But i've gotten more value out of multi-player than any other game I've ever played. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 11:06
      - I haven't played MW and probably won't. However, the journey thing is especially important in things with RPG elements -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 11:01 5
        
        RPG games annoy me with the stop in play. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 11:02 4
        
        Sounds like my wife in regard to Mass Effect 2: "This game is really talky and boring." -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:03
        
        what stop? -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 11:02 2
        
        I'm thinking of stuff like Final Fantasy where you select what weapon to use and what character to attack with. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 11:05 1
        
        FF has evolved greatly. In FF12, you could program macros for each character. Battles were in real-time. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 11:09
  - it's a quest. a quest for this thing. -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 10:55
  - It's about 15 hours from what I've heard. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:54 2
    - that's time i could spend on two good movies, one bad one and a 200 page novel!....nm - x Feb 5, 10:58 1
      - Your and my reasons for avoiding BioShock differ greatly, I'll say that much. - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:00
  - bioshock's not exactly bioschlock, in that regard, from what I hear -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:53
- It's the most philosophical game I've ever played in addition to being among the most stylish. There's just no downside to it. -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 10:52 10
  - It's borderline boring, IMO. There's really no depth to the gameplay. nm - Dignan Feb 5, 11:01
  - the one quibble I had with the little time I played it was the darkness and flashing lighting - crash davis Feb 5, 10:57 3
    - I loved the atomosphere and claustrophobic aspects of Bioshock. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 11:00 2
      - of course you do - you probably hate wide vistas and sunshine -- nm - crash davis Feb 5, 11:02 1
        
        and kittens! -nm - evil crash davis Feb 5, 11:07
  - "...looks like the guy on the cover of Atlas Shrugged. See what they did there?" -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 10:57
  - videogames just take too damned long to get through for me. i realized last year that i'm mostly not interested in spending the time on 'em... - x Feb 5, 10:56 2
    - I'm actually the same way and had this epiphany early on in Borderlands, but Bioshock is the rare exceptioin. -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 10:58 1
      - I've started trying to use MW2 as a reward for accomplishing stuff on the home front. - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:59
  - (And Hyde is one of those people the game was designed for.) -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 10:52
Breaking Bad - season 1: episodes 1-4: A (what a fantastic show) -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 10:49 8
- I have zero clue what this show is even about. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:54 4
  - cancer-stricken chemistry teacher fears what will happen to his family upon his death, so he sets out on a mission to provide for their future - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:55 2
    - this is helpful, thank you. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 10:56 1
      - and it's the dad from Malcom in the Middle, playing completely against type. And he's *awesome*. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 11:12
  - drugs and bad stuff. -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 10:54
- True. I'm going through these myself. Just finished Disc 2. Really like this series. One episode on Disc 2 was boring, but the last one rocked - flavorize Feb 5, 10:52
- Yep. Once you get one episode down, you crave more ... - Beryllium Feb 5, 10:50 1
  - One word, about the first few episodes: bathtub. - flavorize Feb 5, 10:53
I already pre-ordered the limited edition Bioshock 2. It will remain unopened until I finish Mass Effect 2. - Jovian Feb 5, 10:48 1
- How far are you now? -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 10:52
Cool interactive chart on unemployment since 1948. -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Feb 5, 10:48
noobs ruin everything. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 10:47 2
- That was a long string of swears I just released. -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 10:51
- boobs perfect everything - zork Feb 5, 10:50
maybe it was a boating accident -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 10:47
[deleted] 6
- oooooooooh, now there's something that'll keep me up at night!.....nm - x Feb 5, 10:49 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - let's not say stuff we can't take back!....nm - x Feb 5, 11:04 1
      - Why don't you two get a room and do the nasty like you want to - amoxy Feb 5, 11:06
    - you're risking an angry grudge uckf there -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 10:55
- he's people? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 10:48
