Hello. Work is da poop! -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 17:20
I haven't been around that much lately so I may have missed something, but - has anyone heard from amoxy? Looks like he last posted on the 8th. - kelly Feb 17, 17:11 1

This sport NEEDS to be added to the winter games. Crashed Ice. most insane race EVER. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 17, 17:05 25
- They make it a really good show. In Quebec, it's in the very centre of the city and the lighting is insane. At night, it's really impressive -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 17:20 9
  - I would love to see it in person. Also, that neighborhood is where my mother is from. :) - loosilu Feb 17, 17:24 8
    - When was the last time you came here? -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 17:30 7
      - ou est-ce que tu vies? Si je visitais la ville, on pourrait peut-etre se rencontrere? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 18:06
      - too long!!! I'm ashamed. I think eight years. - loosilu Feb 17, 18:03
      - I know you weren't asking me, but I was in Montreal in 2005. I haven't been to Quebec City since I was 12. -- nm - psilotum Feb 17, 17:50 4
        
        Quebec City is a magical romantic place. Too many people don't know. Its beautiful. - loosilu Feb 17, 18:04 3
        
        Been there when I was kid. - the liioulu with Feb 17, 18:15 1
        
        That's the best place to ski. - loosilu Feb 17, 18:30
        
        Like Scotty, for example. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 18:13
- Not half-pipe snowball? -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:09 14
  - that's for girly-men. Crashed Ice is for guys who are all balls. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 17:11 13
    - And no brains? -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:11 12
      - the good ones are big, dumb scandinavians. You do the math. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 17:25 11
        
        Ahem!!! - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:26 10
        
        what, that they're hot? - loosilu Feb 17, 17:27
        
        big, dumb & attractive? :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 17:27 8
        
        I am not! Okay, maybe the second one. ;P -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:28 7
        
        I'm sure you're the third one as well. - loosilu Feb 17, 17:29 4
        
        1/2 Finnish. Okay not technically Scandinavian in some ways. - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:42 3
        
        ah, I love Finns. are you a blondie? - loosilu Feb 17, 18:07 2
        
        Dark blonde/light brown. - the liioulu with Feb 17, 18:11 1
        
        And... - the liioulu with Feb 17, 18:14
        
        nmbL - peglegpete Feb 17, 17:29 1
        
        Everyone else gets it wrong, why not me? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:38
pretty soon every new movie is going to be a reboot of the last movie: American Pie! -- (link) - poochinski Feb 17, 16:56 9
- they were foolish for not doing American Family movies. That was money left on the table right there. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 17:58
- also, what the hell were all those DTDVD sequels for, then? -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 17:00 2
  - they had a story that just had to be told, man! -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 17:03 1
    - And more cash to squeeze out of the fans. -- nm - the liioulu with Feb 17, 17:08
- Starring Tara Reid as the MILF. - Reagen Feb 17, 16:59 1
  - and dakota fanning as stifler! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:59
- rebooting American Pie into a noir-ish mystery like Brick would be genius -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:57 2
  - not really -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 16:57 1
    - no, you're right, it would be like it was written by manatees with beach balls. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:58
wow. the US men's curling blew it again -- nm - Guy Feb 17, 16:55 4
- Please don't spoil curling for those of us with TiVos. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:10 2
  - sorry! i was wrong anyway. (as is expected) -- nm - Guy Feb 17, 17:19 1
    - and by that i mean wrong that particular shot blew it - games still on -- nm - Guy Feb 17, 17:20
- the american fan with the full face paint and giant cowbell is hilarious -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 17:03
A Fresno man has been denied a bus pass because he and his wheelchair are too heavy for the bus lift. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:54
Steve Geppi, owner of Diamond Comics Distribution, sued for $500 million.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 17, 16:52 5
- That guy attracts lawsuits the way my belly-button attracts lint. -- nm - TWuG Feb 17, 17:12 4
  - he buys lottsa stuff, and never pays. I almost had to sue him for $250k 3 years ago -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 17:15 3
    - Do you need me to rough him up for you? -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:17
    - I remember you posting about that. -- nm - TWuG Feb 17, 17:16 1
      - yeah, he consigned some of the art he bought to Heritage, I called their owner and said Geppi does not have clear title, the next day I was paid off -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 17:26
I gave up for Lent what I've always given up for Lent. - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:51 1

LYC: My friend Dirk is running a satellite truck at the bottom of the downhill run. Anything that goes wrong or is unsatisfactory is - loosilu Feb 17, 16:41 3
- so they really ahve to watch for yellow snow -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 17, 16:42 2
  - yikes, I didn't need that image. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:43 1
    - So many of the images I'd rather not have in my head have come from ST. -- nm - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:44
Bah, the price has gone up on the cruise I've been tracking. Less than $30 increase so far but I'm still not really ready to commit. Bigger concern - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:36 10
- So excited for you! -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:38
- Biggest concern: all our glaciers will probably be melted by September anyway. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 16:38 8
  - So looking forward to it. Looks like there are bus tours out to various glaciers? I'm not keen on helicopter tourism - actually in most cases I'm - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:45 7
    - I would make this the exception. :) - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 16:51 3
      - No, Juneau and Skagway this trip. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:57 2
        
        oh, too bad, Seward is fun! no Anchorage? that's a lot of fun too. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:58
        
        kid got his own town? -- nm - poochinski Feb 17, 16:58
    - I'm not into helicopter tourism in general, but I think this is one of those cases where it's the only way. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:46 2
      - That's probably true if you actually want to walk on them. I may be satisfied just to see them from the deck or the visitor center across the valley. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 17, 16:50 1
        
        I do recomment visiting in person. It's thrilling. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:57
Some cast returns for Lost.... - Remlik Feb 17, 16:32 7
- spoiler from last night? - loosilu Feb 17, 16:37 6
  - from the temple... - Remlik Feb 17, 16:39 5
    - hmmm, so a couple of seasons back? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:40 4
      - yeah somewhere when Walt and Daddy leave. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 16:44 3
        
        I remember now. thanks. Also, in retrospect, I think last night was a very good ep. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:45 2
        
        another chess piece show. But damn good. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 16:49 1
        
        I loved (spoil) - loosilu Feb 17, 16:56
men's halfpipe is today? the final is apparently at 7:15 pacific. Seems a touch late (it'll be dark!) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:31 4
- it's better at night -- nm - J Feb 17, 16:45
- spoils - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:33 1
  - ohoh. -- nm - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:34
- Don't they have lights? - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:33
the Swedes also have kickass glide wax. I need that so bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:30 11
- Bu you need the grippy sticky for those kicks around the curves. - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:32 10
  - You need the kick uphill as well. The only time you don't need is when you're double poling. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:35 9
    - oh...wax for your skis. *phew* -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 16:36 8
      - The one I buy is MaxiGlide. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:36 7
        
        and that helps with the double-poling? or for everything else? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 16:38 6
        
        It helps for everything but uphill. You don't want to have too much glide or you'll backslide. For double poling, glide is critical. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:39 5
        
        You put the gliding wax on the ends, the grippy sticky stuff goes in the middle under the feet. - the liioulu with cowbells Feb 17, 16:43 1
        
        yes indeed. For us low-rent skiers, we use "waxless" skis which have some treads for the kick, then we add glide wax. - loosilu Feb 17, 16:45
        
        oh, and for Freestyle skiing, you need all glide, no kick. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:42
        
        It sounds like those poles ... *puts on sunglasses* ... were SMOKIN'! -- nm - Horatio Caine si Feb 17, 16:41 1
        
        I got a pole here for ya, babe. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 16:46
*applauds politely for the winner* - Andie Feb 17, 16:30
