Brother lost the bidding war. Maybe third time's the charm to find a place? -- nm - ty97 Feb 5, 16:22 5
- from what you were saying about this one it's probably for the best. - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:27 4

Guy: I'm still not clear on the root of this discussion. Are you saying that you're a Ke$ha fan? Or a hater? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:01 1
- Well, Ke$ha clearly falls in the "requires work to listen to" camp. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 16:03
Speaking of refined tastes, here's my first beer for the night. -- (link) - TFox Feb 5, 16:00
Saw over on the Movies Board from the HSX game: Flash Forward's David Goyer leaving job as showrunner to focus on directorial and writing projects. - Diva Feb 5, 15:57 3

  - I was thinking it was Patrick Dempsey/Shonda Rhimes. - Diva Feb 5, 16:03 1
    - from this, I think it could be FF - and brandon braga is working on 24, too. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 5, 16:07
TT knows best: While drunk last night,I fell and hurt my thumb a little. Now I can't fully move it.Does something like this warrant medical attention? - Facto Feb 5, 15:57 36

  - You *are* home. -- nm - Penny Lane si Feb 5, 15:59
  - GO TO THE WHEELHOUSE ROOM!! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:58
- Ice and a compression bandage. -- nm - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 15:58 32
  - I slipped on the ice, btw, that was under some snow. I don't normally get drunk enough that that enough makes me fall. Thanks, as for the advice, is - Facto Feb 5, 16:01 31
    - How hard did she come down on it? Did you hear a crack? Is it bent? - TFox Feb 5, 16:06 5
      - Well now that would've been... - Facto Feb 5, 16:08 4
        
        Holy crap! I'm not alone! - TFox Feb 5, 16:11 3

        oh my. I guess newcomers won't know the story of ST's favourite band, "Bruise Ring" featuring lead vocalist "The Snapsite" ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:12
    - It's something you can do yourself. Sounds like a sprain or jam. - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:05 12
      - I hate to admit.. I have no clue about putting ice on.. Ice melts. What's the best technique? - Facto Feb 5, 16:30 11
        
        have a bag of frozen peas handy? - b. Feb 5, 16:34 1
        
        Thanks also -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:38
        
        You can stick a cube or two in a plastic bag or wrap a washcloth around it. - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:34 2
        
        Thanks. The response time here is impressive, btw :-) -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:36 1
        
        You're welcome. Sometomes it's a good thing I'm a klutz. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:39
        
        Step 1: Find a face cloth. Step 2: Put ice in it. Step 3: Wrap it up into a ball (or a ring, if you're talented). Step 4: Apply directly to the thumb. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:32 1
        
        Thank you kindly -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:39

        (no one ever thanks me.) - nm - TFox Feb 5, 16:40 2
        
        Ok, thanks for the comic relief ;-) -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:43 1
        
        damn right! (see, everyone? I'm *funny*.) -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 16:46
    - you'll probably live. and you don't have to be drunk to slip on ice covered in snow. :) -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 16:03 10
      - Well, I was drunk and I guess the point of that is that I didn't fully notice the thing with the thumb until today.. - Facto Feb 5, 16:05 1
        
        Yeah, doesn't sound too bad. if it was bad you probabl;y would've noticed sooner. -- nm - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:10
      - and hey, being drunk enough to just fall randomly isn't exactly uncommon around here ... :D -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:05

        My last winter in Canada I fell and tore up my knee...one more reason I've never gone back :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 5, 16:16 3
        
        Ok and then there was Liam Neeson's British wife..... Now that was just horrible. Odd how it can happen. -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:23 2
        
        Natasha Richardson was her name -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:27 1
        
        Indeed. Too tragic and hard to fathom. -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:31
      - andie is *clumsy* -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 16:04

  - A well-timed nitro boost. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 5, 16:49
The Carpenters covering "Help" is all kinds of ironic -- nm - amoxy Feb 5, 15:51 2

I think at this point, I would miss the ringing in my ears if it went away... - Jovian Feb 5, 15:45
Someone has to be able to kill me before they can teabag me, so that rules groiny out. -- nm - Dav5id Feb 5, 15:43 8
- *nods* I could kill you, but I dont teabag (much) so it wasnt me. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:45 6

- That's not what I've heard -- nm - JD Feb 5, 15:45

I have to tell you all that the seared cod recipe came out awesome. Damn good. I waited until tonight to do it, but man was it worth it -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 15:36
Did Guy just fairly eloquently lay out on B2 why he is likely to never get it? - TFox Feb 5, 15:36 22
- i think so. he seems to think the offended people are jealous. - Andie Feb 5, 15:44 7
  - I'd like whoever this tire snob is to post more about it on ST. -- nm - Max Feb 5, 16:48 1
    - you really don't, he's insufferable. -- nm - Andie Feb 5, 17:14
  - nah, people are tryin' to take away his joy, man. - b. Feb 5, 15:53
  - i may have told this story before, but it's the best lesson on snobbishness I ever got. - TFox Feb 5, 15:50 3
    - I get into issues with my wife with this, because we line up on about 80% of stuff - Reagen Feb 5, 16:00 2
      - When people don't appreciate the stuff that I appreciate (District 9, Boondock Saints, Tropic Thunder), it makes me sad. *sad panda face* - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:04
      - SheFox and I have similar struggles, but ultimately, it's good for me and I love it. - TFox Feb 5, 16:02
- Basically. "They're angry because they don't get more out of music" is pretty up there as far as hubristic sentiments go. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:39 5
  - yeah, I'm sorry if I don't like Ben Folds dude. He sucks, now give my Kid Rock, a beer, a gun, and a hot tub and leave me the eff alone -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 15:45 3
    - See now, liking Kid Rock may just make you a lesser person. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:47 1
      - well, we all knew I was going in -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 15:51
    - Southern Culture on the Skids! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:46
  - I'm not even saying I'm 100% right, but I'm still glad I outlined the idea if it generated something that 100% wrong. -- nm - TFox Feb 5, 15:43
- I'm not sure what the discussion is about. Is this in regards to people laying down a beat track, autotuning a single sentence, and making millions? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:37 7
  - I hypothesized that music snobs raving about music sung in Anne Heche space language, or film buffs deriding people who can't appreciate Synecdoche... - TFox Feb 5, 15:42 4
    - Can you provide me with a popular, recent example of Anne Heche space language? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:43 3
      - FWIW, they named it "Hopelandic". -- (link) - TFox Feb 5, 15:45 [youtube]
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Dude sings in a made up language called "Hopelandic". -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:45
  - If I see layer upon layers upon hearing Bubbletoes by Jack Johnson does that make me a "snob" -- nm - CQ Feb 5, 15:40 1
    - I think it makes you high. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:42
interesting, Citigroup changed the terms of their checking accounts to state that they may "require a 7 day notice before withdrawing funds" - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:35 4
- I would bet that is to cover people who come in and try to close a $100,000 account and want it in cash. - TFox Feb 5, 16:22 2
  - colour me weird, then... -- nm - OAE Feb 5, 16:24 1
    - fwiw, i don't think the request is weird. i think when people get surprised that the branch in their neighborhood doesn't have half a million in cash - TFox Feb 5, 16:31
- I think I'd move Major Money to another bank and leave only working capital with Citigroup... - OAE Feb 5, 16:20
sitwap: McDonald's will be selling 50 Chicken McNuggets for 9.99 during superbowl weekend. - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:31 2
- I could do that. It would be like a half-centurion for teetotallers. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:36 1
  - (Oh, you said 2 in the IM - that would be like a Centurion. d'oh.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:36
He recruited a 13 year old?? -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 15:28 3
- [deleted]
- everyone loves a winner -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:31
- he probably also goes to concerts by The Who! burn him! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:29
sitwap: Sweet Tomatoes / Souplantation Coupon (bogo offer) -- (link) - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:28

TT Poll on a Friday afternoon/evening: Best David Lynch movie, or effort in general? - Facto Feb 5, 15:26 16
- I'm w/you: Peaks and Drive -- nm - OAE Feb 5, 16:21 1
  - Cool. Btw, I know the guy who filmed most of "Inland Empire". He's a festival buddy of mine, we see movies together at festivals, chat during breaks.. -- nm - Facto Feb 5, 16:33
- Eraserhead - a college "cult" classic -- nm - JenBro Feb 5, 15:34
- Mulholland Drive, though I enjoy Lost Highway nearly as much. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:28 9
  - This is my answer as well. Once I figured out MD I absolutely was floored. - Mel Profit Feb 5, 15:32 8
    - this is funny in context with the snobbery/unaccessible crap conversation because MD was chock full of meaningless, abstract shit - The Hammer Feb 5, 15:41 5
      - The difference is that I'm not saying anyone who doesn't like MD is jealous of my awesome taste in movies. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:48
      - you can read David Lynch's mind now? impressive -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:44 3
        
        I can't imagine anyone could do that and not be damaged eternally. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 5, 16:33 1
        
        I'm pretty sure this is what happened to Meat Loaf. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 16:41
        
        But at least he got the plot. Myself, I haven't even seen it yet ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 15:48
    - I'm pretty sure part of it is him just appealing to the puzzle solving portion of my brain, but at the end of the day it's ridiculously entertaining. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 15:34 1
      - I cheated and used IMDB. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 5, 15:42
- umm, umm, umm, umm, umm. i have no idea - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:27
- movies? Elephant Man -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:27 1
  - also, Straight Story -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:28
I want calzone for dinner, but after ann's calzone in seattle fiasco, I am terrified of calzones in new cities. -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 15:24 5
- Hmm...Out there is where I first had a calzone. Way before they ever appeared in Chicago. - the liioulu with the wrong season Feb 5, 16:01
- what was ann's fiasco? -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:30
- pizza hut used to sell them (not sure if they still do) they werent bad. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:26 2
  - that's a pzone. I want a calzone. see? -- nm - amanda Feb 5, 15:28 1
    - ok, fine. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:29
pixie, after much consideration, I am willing to allow you to retain your #1 spot on trish's hate list. - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:21 1
- i'm sorry, I misspoke, it isnt a hate list, its a "threat awareness board" whatever that means. - tRuMaN Feb 5, 15:23
Crazy Heart people should rent Tender Mercies for another good take on the same story - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:19 1

she's the trash! you're just a fool -- nm - pixie in a Lane Kiffin outfit Feb 5, 15:17
