Jim Cantore would have made that cauldron work if he had to push it up with his bare hands. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 18:41 3
- Jim Cantore could make the speed skating ice surface refreeze by just breathing on it. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 18:42 2
  - Jim Cantore is not much of a skier or a marksman, but the biathletes know damn well not to mess with him. -- nm - Diva Feb 16, 18:47 1
    - Jim Cantore is the reason ice skaters fall. -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 18:51

- ok - question for you - the interview with that Button guy ? - JenBro Feb 16, 18:11 7
  - Plushenko. The part of the video that he was doing commentary on was really only a fragment of the story. - Qale Feb 16, 18:13 6
    - gotcha - thanks for filling in the gaps ... I just was sort of lost -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 18:17 5
      - NBC is apparently lost too. They've only shown men's figure skating for about 20 minutes all night so far. Lame. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 18:31 3
        
        this is the first time I've watched Olympics with reading ST comments and I have to say - it sounds like the Canadian TV coverage is better ... - JenBro Feb 16, 18:36 2
        
        I'm only breaking my NBC hatey for Weir. (Though some of the others are quite nice to look at... WHEN THEY SHOW THEM.) -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 18:44 1
        
        You're probably way too young to remember Jim McKay - but I thought he was great at announcing olympics -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 18:52

- did he get rid of his shopping cart or something? -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 18:10
finally, a tiger key. -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 18:01 8
- Still haven't gotten the rabbit mask - Stephen Feb 16, 18:20 1
  - those wascally wabbits -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 18:22
- what can we do with them? -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 18:06
- woohoo -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 18:04 4
  - now all I need is the rabbit mask. -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 18:06 3
    - this is some sort of depraved fetish, isn't it? -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 18:21
    - me too ... I am in the Lagoon tho - not sure if the masks give you anything for having all 3 - and Beaker - see inside - JenBro Feb 16, 18:09 1
      - merci -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 18:12
Previously on Lost -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 18:00 3

  - heehee -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 18:01 1
    - If there is a HWDYK Quiz on Lost, everyone would score a 0/25 except JJ Abrams. -- nm - Qale Feb 16, 18:04
boom -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:55
A Chevron gas card that was in Charlie Sheen's car when it was stolen and driven off a cliff has been used 7 times since........ -- (link) - MojaveMeg Feb 16, 17:51
Well, the Temporary Restraining Order was not granted. - Stephen Feb 16, 17:45 6
- It will be interesting to see the results of the actuarial review. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 18:01
- I heard about the case on a KGO newsbreak earlier. - b. Feb 16, 17:48 2
  - Was it a news story? Did they mention his name? Or was it the interview he did? -- nm - Stephen Feb 16, 17:49 1
    - it was just a little blip when I was out driving earlier... said a local person was asking for a tro. -- nm - b. Feb 16, 17:52
- And probably the TRO. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:47 1
  - It is hard not to believe that the Application for the TRO had at least something to do with their decision since it was announced 2 days after - Stephen Feb 16, 17:51
I hate spawn. he and I are *no longer friends.* -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 17:44 3
- join the club -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 17:56 2
  - I think it's a Facebook group. nm - Dignan Feb 16, 17:56 1
    - "Let's see if spawn can get defriended more than this inanimate carbon rod" -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 17:59
Looks like Plushenko just nailed it -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 17:37
I forgot how hot women curlers are. I hope team japan does a tour to my hometown -- nm - dogbert Feb 16, 17:33 2
- "women in hot curlers" -- nm - what loosi saw Feb 16, 18:10
- right. they brought the effin sexy back. There's one Swede (shocker) who's sweety sweetness too -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 17:34
i just watched last week's Chuck. I'm about to break up with it, that show is so dumb - Guigue Feb 16, 17:31 3
- It was one of the weaker eps IMO, but overall I still very much enjoy the show. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 17:42 1
  - the one thing that irks me about the Olympics right now is that it means no Chuck for two weeks. -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:45
- Disagree. However, there are plot elements at play right now that I wish they would ditch. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 17:35
The police records of Amy Bishop's shooting of her brother back in 1986, which had been thought to be missing since the late 1980s, have been found. -- (link) - mara Feb 16, 17:31
So let's see if I've got this right - Pretty much everywhere in North America has got snow in the last week or two, except Vancouver? - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:25 10
- And Victoria. 50F and sunny today. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 17:27 9
  - people were playing golf....GOLF! -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:33 4
    - Eh. I've seen people do that here in the snow. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:34 3
      - You know what else you can do in the snow? - Tiger Woods si Feb 16, 17:37
      - (there was no snow.) -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:35 1
        
        We know. ;) - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:36
  - Well, you're sort of close by. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:30 1
    - Heh. Yeah, with the jetstream the way it is this winter, I get the weather about 4-6 hours before Vancouver does... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 17:32
  - (if we ever get the summer olympics, it will rain the entire time. Probably with hail, thunder, and fury) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 17:29 1
    - I think that's what would have happened if Chicago had gotten them. -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:30
I wonder if there actually is an Orville Whistetop Skydiving Monkey, or if it was just invented for the song ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 16, 17:25
nmb d - a TFO ce soir - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 17:22
spend $25 at Canadian Tire and get the first Canadian Tire dollar coin -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 17:15 2
- i mildly regret not getting a coin while i was there. but only mildly, because the bills are so awesome. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 18:04
- didn't they have them a couple months back? -- nm - J Feb 16, 17:24
I believe ! Canada has to score - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 17:11
I think I'm signing a lease on the merrimack apartment tomorrow. (miss mary mack, mack, mack, all dressed in black, black, black...) -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 17:08 1
- Is there a Monitor building nearby? -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:09
almost NCIS time! -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 16:53 10
- almost NCIS:LA time! -- nm - J Feb 16, 16:59 9
  - actually, I think the road to hell is paved with NCIS:LA -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:00 8
    - Snake will escape from LA -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 16, 17:28
    - 24 hours a day no commercial breaks! -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:01 6
      - ...once they get to season 5 -- nm - J Feb 16, 17:04 5
        
        Hopefully they'll get better writers by then. -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:05 4
        
        and actors and characters -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:24 3
        
        I like Linda Hunt. And the ones who aren't the leads. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:26 2
        
        I hate everyone except for O'Donnell and the black haired girl,,,LL is tolerable, the rest suck -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 17:27 1
        
        It's actually the first time O'Donnell hasn't irritated me. -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:41
SITWAP: Coney Island is going to get a sweet upgrade! - Krusty Feb 16, 16:50 9
- and how much of it did he give away to the real estate developer? -- nm - znufrii Feb 16, 17:47
- why not get an NYC brewery to make the beer? -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 17:00 6
  - Good point, Brooklyn Brewery is missing an opportunity there. -- nm - Krusty Feb 16, 17:03 5
    - Speaking of: *cases* of Brooklyn Winter Ale at my beer store, $15 tonight. - TFox Feb 16, 18:00
    - I think the park is subconsciously alienating locals by not using a local brewer. it's a HUGE faux-pas. - sluttella Feb 16, 17:06 3
      - I'm not sure about microbrews. They're not very popular here. - Krusty Feb 16, 17:10 2
        
        Also, locals don't really go to Coney Island anymore. They probably will if they increase safety and make the park fun again. - Krusty Feb 16, 17:12 1
        
        this is my point. a move that's seen as partnering with the public can't possibly hurt - sluttella Feb 16, 17:17
- For a second I thought this was about Georgia's new nuclear reactors. Then I realized, that would be Three Mile Island, and it's not in Georgia. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:57
Preapproval acquired and initial offer made. Now begins the negotiation. - TWuG Feb 16, 16:50 1
- *fingers crossed* good luck! Don't push too hard, though ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 18:25
*wonders why the swiss team moved that rock* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:43
liioulu: What corners did they try to cut? They were trying to live up to their promises, not cut corners. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:29 25
- Next time, don't pay in Canadian Tire Money. Thanks, -- nm - Olympia Feb 16, 16:46
- That was a joke. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 16:32 22
  - the Olympia cost $80K more -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:32 21
    - Yikes. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 16:34
    - Yah, but you get that Tru-Coat sealant there -- nm - Jerry Lundegaard Feb 16, 16:34
    - (basically double, from what I heard. But it can resurface the ice for 1/12th the cost, when it works, and with zero emissions.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:33 18
      - It's been sitting there with its flaps open and "guys" standing there scratching their heads. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 16:36 16
        
        at least they aren't scratching ... other things :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 17:34
        
        I feel like you're being so negative here. they *tried* to be green. it was maybe not the best call. but they tried. - sluttella Feb 16, 16:45 14
        
        The road to hell is paved with good intentions. - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 16:54 12
        
        I think having contingency plans in place was called for, but the lack thereof is the only real error here. -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 17:00 9
        
        I think it would take them less than six hours to get a zamboni on site if they really wanted to - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:00 7
        
        well of course not. but when the stakes are this big, you have a plan B. like there's not a zamboni or two in - sluttella Feb 16, 17:04 2
        
        they needed a Plan C. I think they might just have been hoping they wouldn't need to resort to it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:09 1
        
        (Perhaps to the point of actually having one, but constantly delaying acting on it) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:10
        
        they're getting one. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:03 3
        
        Yes, it's definitely a bit of a screwup. Add it to the list. - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:08 2
        
        Swiss timing was off? -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:10 1
        
        Yes. An official IBU representative screwed up the order in which some competitors left the gate, and also when (a handful of failures) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 17:10
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 16, 17:00
        
        actually, I think the road to hell might be paved with this saying. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 16:57
        
        or the ice track, in this case -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 16:56
        
        No, not being negative. They tried and I think it was two that broke down. - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 16:50
      - 75k per nyt in may -- (link) - sluttella Feb 16, 16:36
- seriously. the olympic machines are green. that's why they were selected. not because of cost. -- nm - sluttella Feb 16, 16:31
Curling is such a turn-on. -- nm - David Feb 16, 16:24 14
- i prefer humor, intelligence, and confidence - poochinski Feb 16, 16:25 13
  - So, you prefer qualities you don't possess? -- nm - David Feb 16, 16:28 12
    - she (hypothetically) completes me -- nm - poochinski Feb 16, 16:30 10
      - *head tilt* ... she? - JenBro Feb 16, 17:33 9
        
        seriously? - b. Feb 16, 17:46 8
        
        I thought he did, too. Wiggum is his Sandra Bullock in this scenario. -- nm - David Feb 16, 18:17
        
        I'm so dumb sometimes -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 17:50 6
        
        it's okay. i'd be equally repulsive no matter which team i played for - poochinski Feb 16, 17:57 2
        
        dang - I was hoping the board would flip and you'd miss all of this (grin) -- nm - JenBro Feb 16, 18:08
        
        hmm, funny but a tad tortured. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with tu dors Feb 16, 17:58
        
        aww. - b. Feb 16, 17:54 2
        
        Was this because of your friendship with OTT? -- nm - David Feb 16, 18:25
        
        so true ... I have my moments where I'm wrong and I have to say - I laugh the hardest at myself. - JenBro Feb 16, 18:00
    - I was going to sing him a Paula Abdul song, but this works too. -- nm - TFox Feb 16, 16:29
I Believe! -- nm - zamboni Feb 16, 16:22 1
- in a thing called love. just listen to the rythm of my heart. -- nm - CQ Feb 16, 16:23
