- What Shaun said. More detail inside. - Subversive Feb 16, 09:36 1
  - more: the last rock is called The Hammer. to get a point while the other team has The Hammer is called a steal -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:37

        there is no obvious in curling - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 09:37 1
        
        cause too many games were being one by whoever had the Hammer the longest. Teams got too good and could peel off rocks every shot -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:42
      - within the rings of course -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 09:36
Hmm ... I think that if Chuck gets a cash boost from NBC, they should bring back the original Ass Man. - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:29 4
- Why bother? Show is running great without him; bring back Anna Wu first cuz that show is lacking in the hottie department - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:32 3

    - He's got spoils - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:37
    - Or, an Awesome Sister -- nm - flavorize Feb 16, 09:36
Just a few episodes into Dexter S1, the show has one of the better lead characters, and supporting casts, I've seen. (question inside) - prayformojo Feb 16, 09:27 31
- She smells. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 16, 09:36
- Deb is probably in the Top 3 of awesome things about the show. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 09:32 1
  - In Season One? blah. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:34
- Yeah, I thought she was pretty awful in season 1 but improved marginally each season. - Subversive Feb 16, 09:31
- she is horrible. totally horrible....nm - x Feb 16, 09:30
- Doakes?!?! By far my least favorite character. And the actor is terrible IMO. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:29 7
  - Doakes is awesome. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 09:33
  - Interesting. Among other things,..... - prayformojo Feb 16, 09:31 5
    - I'd agree that someone should be suspicious of Dexter, yes. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:34 4
      - he was a bit to much over the top without any real reason for him being wary of Dexter. - Remlik Feb 16, 09:40 2
        
        spoils - Beaker Feb 16, 09:41 1

- I liked her -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:28 13
  - I never got all the sister hate either. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:30 11
    - And you hate Doakes. See, you're wrong. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:31 10
      - See, now you're wrong. -season 2 major spoiler- - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:35 9
        
        Season Two spoiler - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:38 8
        
        FWIW, in the books (show and book spoilers) - Jim Feb 16, 09:47 6
        
        I checked out the latest book from the library but couldn't get into it and returned it. maybe another time -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 09:53 1
        
        The guy's a horrible writer. He just happened to create a phenomenal character. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 09:55
        
        I read the first two. I need to finish the other two. -- nm - Tiger Woods Feb 16, 09:48 3
        
        wow - I completely misread this post -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 09:52
        
        sfan, but it works. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:48 1
        
        The 3rd one sucked pretty bad. Haven't tried the 4th one yet. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 09:50
        
        (don't read these, prayformojo) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:39
  - from the start -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:29
- yeah that was her. She was horrid and shrill in in season 1 to me at least. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:28
- She rubbed some people the wrong way. Others, she rubbed exactly the right way. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:28 1
  - (like Masuka, for example ...) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:28
- yes, Dexter's Sister. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:28
Abbey Road put up for sale -- (link) - budice Feb 16, 09:20 1
- At the auction, what will they use for the gavel? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 09:26
sitwap? I like the Google logo today -- nm - prayformojo Feb 16, 09:19
Isn't the drinking/non-drinking dilema just a symptom that the 24-year old is still in "young party mode" and the 28-year old is "settled down"? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 16, 09:17 25
- SECRET MUSLIM! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 09:27
- They both got issues, IMO. -- nm - Reagen Feb 16, 09:19 6
  - What I love about ST on these is almost always believing the letter writer. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:28 3
    - i think you sort of have to. you have to respond to them, extrapolating new info isn't fair. -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 09:30 2
      - Agreed, but this one pretty clearly has omitted some relevant details. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:32
      - sure is fun, though. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:31
  - I bet he likes the sex, though. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:23
  - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:20
- Given what she wrote, it didn't seem like the diff between a partier and partier w/ discipline....it seemed like a person who was totally shut down - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:18 12
  - Some people do not like what drinking does to themselves. And what it does to others. Especially when it is to excess. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:26
  - why does everyone here that people choosing to not drink is so weird? some people just don't want to. - Andie Feb 16, 09:24 10
    - I don't think it's so weird to be a non-drinker. I do think it's weird to be completely against socializing where there's booze. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:33
    - It seems as though she describes him as someone who will not go anywhere there is alcohol. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:30 6
      - I think it's significant that his friends know not to call if there will be alcohol. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:31 2
        
        I'm guessing that means "his friends don't call if they are going out drinking", not "his friends don't invite him out for dinner if someone will - Roger More Feb 16, 09:33 1
        
        it would help a lot if she clarified that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:35
      - i think he just sounds anti-social all together. which is a problem. making it about HIM not drinking is a mistake -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 09:31 2
        
        That's how *she* justifies it. Maybe he's just antisocial, but she chalks it up to not going near alcohol. She is looking at the wrong thing, agreed -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:40
        
        NWBR's question came from a 24 year old drinking vs a 28 year old settled into 'mature' drinking/not drinking. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 09:35
    - I'm with you on this one. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 09:26
    - ,,, *think* that.... -- nm - Andie Feb 16, 09:24
- The 28 year old sounds a lot more than just "settled down". -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:18 3
  - (In fact, from what little I skimmed, the 28 year old sounds like a slightly more whiny version of me) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:18 2
    - However, I'll still go to pubs and hang out with coworkers and stuff. Not clubs, though; hate the dance crap. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:19 1
      - I agree. I don't like noisy places (never have) but that doesn't mean no going out. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 09:20
finally realizes the curling is on USA -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 09:16 2
- HURRY! HARD!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:16 1
  - I'm loving the CCA "Go Curling" commercials this season with a bunch of folks (including hotties) screaming that out. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 16, 09:18
max, where'd you go skiing? - poochinski Feb 16, 09:15 4
- Hidden Valley in Somerset PA, about halfway between Cumberland and Pittsburg. -- nm - Max Feb 16, 09:22 3
  - i went to Seven Springs once - poochinski Feb 16, 09:24 2
    - I'm trying to figure out what state forest we went to for snowshoeing. Laurel Hill maybe. -- nm - Max Feb 16, 09:39 1
      - Wisp has the most snow of all the locals. and they're getting another foot or two tomorrow and thursday - poochinski Feb 16, 09:41
And the best part of Spawn's 3 day anny? he made Amy shovel the driveway! -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:15 3
- I have been sick! And she likes to shovel every few hours, I like to let it build up and do it all at once. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 09:19 1
  - good man! -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:20
- hold on to that one, amy. he's a keeper -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 09:18
Rules? There are no *rules* for Risotto ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:13 10
- *kicks you in the groin* -- nm - Butch Cassidy Feb 16, 09:16 1
  - *ding* :) I just watched this for the first time a few weeks ago -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:17
- I'm not sure that I've ever had risotto in my life -- nm - prayformojo Feb 16, 09:15 5
  - The kind I made was superfino arborio rice simmered in chicken broth with sauteed onions and finished with generous amounts of parmesean -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:17 4
    - mmm... - znufrii Feb 16, 09:22 3
      - I have frozen crabmeat I need to use. Maybe I should try a *real* experiment ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:32 1
        
        Mmm...crab guacamole -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 16, 09:49
      - they both sound excellent!! -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 09:24
- ("worst topping ever" is quite funny, but I honestly almost tried "mashed potatoes and gravy on top of risotto" for lunch yesterday.) - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:14
- right. -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 09:14
