HumpDay Question: Why do things like "Maxoderm" and "Enzyte" (the smiling Bob commercials I think) *still* exist? I mean, they don't work.....right? - JaxSean Feb 17, 10:15 8
- The placebo effect, random chance (things really *did* go a bit better, but only coindicentally), wanting to believe, etc. Many reasons. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 10:21
- because stupid people buy them. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 10:19
- Who's going to voluntarily admit and warn you that they wasted money on penis pills and their penis is still small? -- nm - Max Feb 17, 10:18 2
  - *starts to raise his hand, looks around, pulls it back down* -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 10:20
  - I mean, not me. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 10:18
- Let me show you -- nm - Dignan's Broner si Feb 17, 10:16
- (The reason I ask is the radio station I'm listening to has had Maxoderm commercials about 10 times so far today.) - JaxSean Feb 17, 10:16 1
  - People are stupid. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 10:17
why don't my friends get married in Mexico? dammit. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 10:15
ok, Google buzz you're shut off. you actually suck more than google wave....nm - x Feb 17, 10:11 5
- But it's Google, so it must be awesome. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 10:18 1
  - they should change "don't be evil" to "lets throw everything we can against the wall and hope to god something sticks"....nm - x Feb 17, 10:21
- but . . . i was going to follow you :( -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 10:14
- agreed, I think it's horrid. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 10:12 1
  - I don't at all understand what it's criteria are for collapsing posts. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 10:14
5' 11", 114 lbs siearm knuckleballer wins a game in the AWL. Oh yeah, and the pitcher is a woman. (link) - musubi Feb 17, 10:10 6
- Oh yeah, and she's 18 years old. (nm) - musubi Feb 17, 10:12 4
  - *calls her up* -- nm - Coach Lane Kiffin Feb 17, 10:14
  - I remember hearing about her when she pitched in the minors in Japan last year -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 10:13

wap? Concert barricade collapse at Olympics leaves 19 people injured -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 17, 10:04 17
- Well at least there are no surfing competitions or tarantulas running amok in Vancouver to really suggest a curse is at play. - HdnAgnda Feb 17, 10:17
- is Vancouver built on an old Indian burial ground? - poochinski Feb 17, 10:09 1
  - Yes, it is. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 10:10
- [deleted] 13
  - i actually think this free concert is more a city responsibility. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 10:08 3
    - Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people will make that distinction -- nm - prayformojo Feb 17, 10:14 2
      - with all the other stuff, a concert barricade collapsing seems like a non-issue. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 10:16 1
        
        And honestly a trip to the hospital sounds more fun than seeing Alexisonfire. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 10:20
  - "Nine people were taken to a hospital for further evaluation, none with serious injuries" Disaster! -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 10:07 8
    - [deleted] 1
      - Heh. Yeah, sure. "getting there". riiiight. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 10:13
    - 1 dead Luger, this, the opening ceremonies screw up, no snow...peachy. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 10:08 5
      - "this" hardly seems to rate. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 10:10 3
        
        It's the cumlative effect though. This isn't really a big deal, but there's plenty of screw ups VANOC should be owning up to. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 10:25
        
        you canadians are so callous. what about the skinned knees of those 19 victims?....nm - x Feb 17, 10:12 1

apropos of nothing, I learned today that there's a German word for "a face that needs a fist" that English should steal like schadenfreude - Reagen Feb 17, 09:48 3 1
- "Wow, those Germans have a word for everything." -- nm - David Feb 17, 09:52
- Or "Guy" for short. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:49 1
  - no, that's the word for neck that needs a cock -- nm - zork Feb 17, 09:53
Could someone on chatzy answer a question for me: - Beaker Feb 17, 09:45 11
- ok - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:47
- Death in the family. We want them to go on vacation mode, which I think i sonly fair. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:47 9
  - Serioulsy. I think we're unanimously infavor of leaving him alone while he tends to his business, but why he can't he just go into vacation mode? - musubi Feb 17, 10:13 2
    - yup, and if he does hesitate to do this makes me think something is fishy -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 10:16 1
      - sounds fishy to me, but that's par for my course. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 10:18
  - I have misgivings about this (feel bad for them definitely) but... -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 09:51 5
    - As do I. That is why I think it is not unreasonable for them to go into vacation mode. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:52 4
      - vacation mode sure, allowing them to "leave" should be a non-starter - Beaker Feb 17, 09:55 1
        
        I think the second is why they are fighting it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:58
      - for the remainder of the war. -- nm - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:55
      - Yeah, they should be able to make sure their troops are no longer in combat. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 09:54
Time: The Ten Worst Figure Skating Outfits -- (link) - MDH Feb 17, 09:38

      - [deleted]
  - (In another country) -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 09:35
  - He obviously does not have a girlfriend that rides his ass about this stuff. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:34 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - er, there are people who do this? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 10:02 3
        
        You don't think Jack might be exaggerating? I doubt if he's claiming she goes to weddings she didn't get invited to. Going to as many as you can that - mara Feb 17, 10:03 1
        
        No, I'm taking him 100% seriously. - loosilu Feb 17, 10:04
        
        No. It has never happened in the recorded history of mankind. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 10:02
      - *raises eyebrow* -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 09:47
ok, so, I got one of those red light tickets a while back for a right on red.... - groiny Feb 17, 09:32 17
- [deleted]
- did you go back to the intersection and take a picture to show there is no such sign? -- nm - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:36 4
  - Or go there and remove the sign before taking a picture? - Spawn Feb 17, 09:37 2
    - I have been driving that route for 15 years, and there has never been a sign there. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:39 1
      - See my IM. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:45
  - Yes. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:36
- Wait a minute. Was there a NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign or not? - Jim Feb 17, 09:34 10
  - [deleted] 5
    - Not in Missouri and Illinois. Right turns are permitted on red, unless specifically noted otherwise. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 09:42 4
      - NYC is actually a rare case where right on red is prohibited except where noted. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 10:06
      - And Indiana! -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:45
      - [deleted]
      - there are rumblings of them removing these cameras because they cause more accidents. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:43
  - What part of "no NO" don't you understand? -- nm - mara Feb 17, 09:38 1
    - Missed the little "no". -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 09:39
  - the court date passed. You could either contest by mail or go to court. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:36 1
    - Is there a chance they think you didn't come to a complete stop? -- nm - mara Feb 17, 10:08
Did we talk about LOST? -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 09:27 16
- note to self, you need to start catching up on the previous seasons... -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 09:31 2
  - biggest question from last night for me (spoilers) - znufrii Feb 17, 09:49 1
    - Prediction (though maybe it's obvious to those who have been watching the entire run): - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 09:52
- There was surprisingly little talk last night. Question (spoils) - Jim Feb 17, 09:31 1
  - yeah, there's probably something to that... knowing the LOST writers... of course we won't find out until... - i'm not dead yet ! Feb 17, 09:46
- i'm loving the non-island storyline almost as much as the island this time -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 09:28 9
  - Remind me (spoils) - pmb Feb 17, 09:33 3
    - (spoils) - Jim Feb 17, 09:38

      - "Now *there's* a gentleman's drink." (spoils inside on my favorite moments from last night and a Locke question.) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 09:47
  - I was kinda pleased with how much I have enjoyed it so far. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:30 4
    - I'm really liking it through 4 hours. You can really tell that it's going somewhere (no spoils) - Jim Feb 17, 09:33 3
      - agreed, it's been fun. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 10:03
      - agreed. the Sideways storyline is pretty solid. and the Island stuff is as well. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 09:58
      - Coolness. Will probably knock off the other two tonight. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:36
- I *finally* started watching this season last night. - Spawn Feb 17, 09:28

Dear Illinois, you suck -- (link) - oblique Feb 17, 09:21 6

- They have Mrs. TWuG and, therefore, by definition cannot be bad. - TWuG Feb 17, 09:24 4
  - Where is she at. I could pay here a visit and make her feel at home -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 09:24 3

  - Yeah, but who wants a handle of OrlSean? -- nm - oblique Feb 17, 09:21 3
    - Actually, it would be McoSean. - JaxSean Feb 17, 09:28 1
      - McoSeanographer? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 09:31
    - Lando Seanrissian -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 09:23
- crappity crap crap. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 09:17 1
  - I knew it was coming, but didn't know when (until last night). At least it wasn't an "out-of-left-field shocker." -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 09:21
- blowing shit up tonight will make you feel better. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:16
I will admit that it's nice that NBC's live feeds let you rewind the live feed, even past where you started watching. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 09:13
Listen, just because you are killing our troops, pillaging our cities and destroying our navy doesn't mean you are winning. - Beaker Feb 17, 09:08 12
- Yeah, I'm pretty sure jasper doesn't have a clue. - TWuG Feb 17, 09:16 1
  - I don't know how they lasted in their previous war with LAZY. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 09:29
- Also we may be spending more resources then they are, but it's all good if we can afford it - Guigue Feb 17, 09:14 5
  - We are outwitting, out playing but clearly they think they will (somehow) out last us. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:16 4
    - they are like the crash davises of halo. -- nm - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:17 3
      - "Sorry, I sucked that game." - krash Feb 17, 09:18 2
        
        so whats your excuse mister sniper with only 2 kills? -- nm - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:20 1
        
        clearly they fear my mad sniping skills, and stayed in the base. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:20
- sounds like something i heard last night in modern warfare2 - tRuMan Feb 17, 09:13
- And another thing. I don't want to get any reports that we are "holding our positions." We're not holding anything, except WTF. We're gonna hold - General Mel Patton Feb 17, 09:11 2
  - you are like another Napoleon. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 17, 09:17
