This isn't going to look good in their court hearing: The haitian missionaries' lawyer is accussed of 'human trafficing' in El Salvador -- (link) - zeitgeist Feb 14, 01:44
I don't think I've ever seen the speed skating relays before...that's just weird with the pushoffs and sync'ing. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 14, 01:28

- what Marcel said :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 14, 03:33
I hate how my hands smell after cutting onions. Does anyone else have that problem, or a solution to it? - Beryllium Feb 14, 00:19 8
- Lots of stuff turns up when you Google it. -- (link) - mara Feb 14, 05:54
- Dip your fingers in gasoline and set them on fire to burn off the onion residue. - Loyola Feb 14, 02:38
- lemons, slice and squeeze, let the drips onto the counter to freshen it too - zeitgeist Feb 14, 01:37
- use gloves? - psilotize Feb 14, 00:22 4
  - hrm. worth a shot; I might also change the type of onions I buy (from white to red) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 00:23 3
    - Red onions are great fresh (on salad or sandwich). I would never intentionally use them in most sauteed cooking applications, though. -- nm - psilotize Feb 14, 00:24 2
      - No? Ok. Good to know. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 14, 00:31 1
        
        Because their flavor is milder, they lose their effect when cooked. I have used them in a pinch, though. -- nm - psilympics Feb 14, 00:34
what the hell are those pads they wrapped around those poles gonna do for a body flying a freeway speeds? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 23:50 2
- I was just watching a video on the modifications made and they sheeted off the whole section where he left the track. -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 23:54
- Not nearly enough. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 23:50
Wait, Canada has never won a gold medal when the Olympics have been in Canada? -- nm - Tim Feb 13, 23:40 4
- Really? Wow, I didn't know that. *wry face* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 00:18
- it's like the seagull around everybody's neck here - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 14, 00:10
- Once again we see Canadians there is nothing that you can possess that we cannot take away -- nm - United States Feb 13, 23:52
- which has to be very unusual as host countries usually do quite well -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 23:48
I adore the visuals and filmography of Solaris. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 23:01 4
- pardon me for asking - are you referring to Tarkovski - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 23:18 3
  - Soderbergh. I prefer the Tarkovski for drama and story, but Soderbergh just nails the visuals. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 23:44 2
    - it rivals only Moon for gripping edge of your seat sci-fi thrills -- nm - poochinski Feb 13, 23:47 1
      - I agree with ... wait, who the hell are you? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 23:50
Johnny Weir: fabulous. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 22:16
does candy at the grocers get discounted tomorrow or monday? -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 22:16 6
- We'll do Monday. -- nm - Jelly Feb 14, 03:40
- I'd like a discount from the Girl Scouts! It's Thin Mints season & those green-sashed hoodlums get me every time I walk in a store. -- nm - flavorize Feb 13, 23:19 1
  - Yeah, me too -- nm - Ian Fleming Feb 13, 23:22
- around here the grocers won't mark it down until the day after - 'lia Feb 13, 22:23 1
  - and half price V Day cards afterwards -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 23:25
- Probably tomorrow. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 22:16
I love the winter games but short-track speedskating is a silly event. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 13, 21:59 5
- I like it a lot. Combines strategy with speed. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 22:06
- I need someone to explain to me about the Final A and Final B - J Feb 13, 22:01 3
  - They just explained it on NBC. The Olympic charts always rank the top 8 finalists. So we need 2 groups to fill out that chart. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 22:28 1
    - Another win for the US! -- nm - psilympics Feb 14, 00:26
  - consolation final. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 22:05
I hate that I don't have access to television and have to miss the Olympics. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 13, 21:30 16
- no bars with a TV? (no tv in your room? I guess mexico isn't big on sports besides baseball, socccer and bullfighting) -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 21:35 13
  - Bar is a good idea, didn't think about that. Otherwise, I'm in a dorm room with 9 other dudes right now, no tv. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 13, 21:42 9
    - obviously you need flotv. -- nm - tRuMaN, not a paid spokesperson Feb 13, 22:06
    - And you have a hand free to type? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 21:58 2
      - For the record, my joke wasn't *sexual*, it was simply about gender identity. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 22:04 1
        
        If Hotkiss was a dude, she'd be *fierce*. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 22:35
    - Make sure you stick the dismount, otherwise you may not medal. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 13, 21:44
    - "9 other dudes" ... uh oh. That phrasing will raise a few eyebrows around here :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 21:43 3
      - I was about to say ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 21:45 2
        
        how you wish you were there? -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 22:12 1
        
        Word. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 22:16

    - Prince Hubertus of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (age 51; born 2 February 1959 in Mexico City) -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 13, 21:40 1
      - this is actually kind of funny haha -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 13, 21:41
- I believe ctvolympics.ca might be a choice - although they don't tend to stream live -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 21:34
- you can find stuff online -- nm - poochinski Feb 13, 21:34
and there goes our other chance for gold -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 21:23
I believe it's the year of the Tiger - Happy Chinese New Year -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 21:03 3
- Happy Chinese New Year! -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 13, 21:29
- lone canadian leafs fan also dropped the following loot: - Cuzzin Todd Feb 13, 21:08 1
  - 2 Tiger Stripes -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 21:22
happy VD east coast! -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 21:00
oh well - yay Jenn ! -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 20:47
I forgot how many major characters they killed off in Season 1 of The Tudors. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 20:32 8
- 2! -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:35 7
  - Okay, major and "pretty significant supporting" characters. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 20:43 6
    - Note: I have never seen a minute of that series, -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:47 5
      - It's worth watching. And it's free on Netflix streaming right now. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 20:51 4
        
        Oh, I am sure I would like it. A matter of time I don't have now. -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:54 3
        
        buy the blu-rays - they're like spectacular -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 21:03
        
        Howya like Caprica so far? -- nm - Dr.Vermin, hasn't started it at all Feb 13, 20:58
        
        it's really really really fucking good -- nm - mud Feb 13, 20:55
Fuck a duck. - Subversive Feb 13, 20:27 5
- wow that crowd cleared pretty quick there - mud Feb 13, 20:38
- Yeah, the best run won that one. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 20:32 2
  - Yep. - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:35 1
    - (women's moguls spoilers above) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:35
- yeah, it was just a "good" run by Heil. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 20:29
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!! -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:24 1
- heh - mud Feb 13, 20:34
bold prediction: if an actor doesn't know what emotion words like "glee" or "catty" mean, they're probably going to have a hard time doing improv - poochinski Feb 13, 19:48 2
- "Glee? You want me to sing?" -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 19:50
- she's playing a character that takes everything literally! -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 19:49
Cuba has an interesting way of licensing their vehicles. -- (link) - TWuG Feb 13, 19:41
That was nuts. Had my heart racing for a bit. -- nm - Krusty Feb 13, 19:38
Oh my God! -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 19:37 10
- Whoa. -- nm - mara Feb 13, 19:38 9
  - When you guys react like that, I just switch channel to NBC, right? -- nm - Guigue Feb 13, 19:41 8
    - Well, by then it's usually over. (twss) -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 19:53 7
      - *pats his DVR* -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:17 6
        
        I get the Olympics on 5 different channels here - Guigue Feb 13, 20:27 5
        
        don't forget the two OMNI channels in Toronto -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 20:48
        
        I am just realizing that Saturday Night Live will not be on. - Spawn Feb 13, 20:31 3
        
        fyi, there was no new episode last night -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 20:40 1
        
        I know. Had not watched the first two. Started the first one while stair mastering earlier. Starting the second one now. -- nm - Spawn Feb 13, 20:49
        
        I was hoping for some Olympic highlights covered by Sudekis and Forte's sportscaster characters. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 20:36
*checks his fantasy speed skating team* -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 19:34
Well, my risotto experiment was *awesome*. Delicious! Next time I'll have to try mixing in some extra stuff (mushrooms, maybe?) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 19:33 4
- saffron -- nm - peglegpete Feb 13, 19:51
- yum, mushrooms are soooo good in risotto -- nm - 'lia Feb 13, 19:34
- Roger More: The instructions on the bag said to do the rice-in-olive-oil thing, so i did that (it really wanted to stick to the pan, though. Very dry) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 19:33 1
  - Cool. Or stops the rice from clinging together. There's also some chemistry thing with frying the rice bit I forget the details -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 19:38
Hey Redmond - eag Feb 13, 19:13 2
- thx :) I have a gift of annoying the enemy, AND my friends -- nm - Redmond Feb 13, 19:20 1
  - Your a natural - eag Feb 13, 19:26
I simply cancelled out of Google Buzz until they fix the privacy problems fully. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 19:10 34
- Thanks. Was worth it if only to get rid of the stupid link on the left side. - Spawn Feb 13, 20:14 1
  - You don't have your monitor set to display only B & W? - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 20:27
- how do I do that? -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:22 12
  - At the very bottom of your inbox is a link to turn it off -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 19:28 10
    - thanks. I hate how they hide that -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:29 9
      - That isn't "hidden" you just didn't see it. Hidden would be 3 or 4 clicks inside the settings for Buzz. -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 19:30 8
        
        OK, Captain Literal. I hate how they made it so damn hard to see. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:39 7
        
        (and as a former interface designer, I can guarantee that's not random placement) -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:40 6
        
        It's placed right beside "turn off gchat"; intentional placement, sure, but not unprecedented -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 13, 19:43 5
        
        Given everything that's beside it, it's right where I would expect and want it to be. -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 19:44 4
        
        I looked for it. I couldn't find it. It's not prominent. Theyh don't want me to turn it off. - loosilu Feb 13, 19:55 3
        
        and for that matter, they don't want me to turn off Gchat either. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:56 2
        
        I'm sure they would, if they knew you better. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 19:58 1
        
        oh, zing! No wonder you were the first person I unfollowed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 20:00
  - Go to Buzz, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on "Cancel Buzz" -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 19:28
- I've done nothing with buzz. I know it has me following people, but if I do nothing, will anyone see anything - ty97 Feb 13, 19:20 18
  - apparently yes. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:22
  - I have no idea. After reading some of the news reports, though, I simply don't trust it. So I dumped it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 19:22 16
    - I can also point you to some web pages that report your microwave is out to get you. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 19:23 15
      - you apparently have no idea what it's like for your privacy to be compromised. - b! mobile. Feb 13, 19:29 7
        
        You have obviously never been chased into your own backyard by a rogue microwave. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 19:35 5
        
        You know, Fox News warned against the privacy risks of Google Buzz. (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 19:59 2
        
        Thanks!. I missed that story. - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 20:17 1
        
        Glad I could be of help! - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 20:23
        
        Yeah, I think you're missing some clues here and should probably step back and reassess. -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 19:40
        
        Seriously, Vermy, don't tell b to lighten up. She's had it happen for real. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:39
        
        which is odd, for a libertarian. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:30
      - I don't trust Buzz based on the fact that it added my lawyer and other people I would never have allowed, given the choice. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:28 3
        
        If you can't trust your lawyer, whom can you trust? - zeitgeist Feb 13, 19:30 2
        
        I trust people I choose to trust. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 19:41 1
        
        sounds like I'm not in your inner circle of trust -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 20:13
      - We know how to find Sarah Palin's blog. -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 19:26 1
        
        You know, the title "On The One Hand..." suddenly makes sense! -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 19:29
      - "News reports" are not "web pages." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 13, 19:26
back to team relay - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 19:08
easy time waster: One Button Bob. -- (link) - JaxSean Feb 13, 19:07 2
- 368! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 13, 20:57
- i won it in 451 clicks -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 20:44
even CTV Brian Williams says the game is ugly -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 19:07
are we there yet? -- nm - b! mobile. Feb 13, 19:06
Go Team Canada! -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 13, 19:05
