I think Truman just mistook *survey* asking for *invite* asking. - Max Feb 26, 09:50 2
- (I'm also entertaining a mutiple personality theory. Look out when she finds out Truman's been cheating on her with herself.) -- nm - Max Feb 26, 09:55 1
  - oof. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:57
forgive me for my ignorance but while Molson is the most famous, its not the best in the country, eh? -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:49 28

  - eh. Most people drink one of the big two. - Reagen Feb 26, 10:00 2
    - What are the big two? Canadian and Lucky? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 10:01 1
      - Lucky Lager! Hehe. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 10:01
- It's OK for mass market. I don't think I've had one in years. - Reagen Feb 26, 09:52 8
  - I'm not a beer drinker, but if I were - there are so many microbreweries in BC that I wouldn't have to resort to name-brand crap -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 10:00
  - (also there's microbrews, but that's not exactly a fair fight) -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:56 2
    - microbrews are why I am not as knowledgeable about Canadian beers, I'd moved to Seattle where the US microbrewing had really taken flight - crash davis Feb 26, 10:00 1
      - There's a couple good local ones here - Reagen Feb 26, 10:02
  - I think I've heard of Sleeman's, but I've never heard of Keith's -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:52 2
    - We talked about Keiths in depth when the spokes-stereotype was charged with child porn or something -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:58
    - Brewed in Nova Scotia. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:53

    - NO... -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:56
- I'd like the Budweiser of Canada. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:50
- Of course it's not the best. They should be drinking Glacier Fresh Kokanee. - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:50 8
  - I haven't seen Kokanee in years, but what was the mountain on the label they used in the 90s? - crash davis Feb 26, 09:51 2
    - Grays Peak, apparently. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:53 1
      - thanks - that didn't help rule it out because I learned glacier climbing out of Nelson BC - Grays Peak is apparently just out of Nelson -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:58
  - Kokanee sucks too. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:50 4
    - Kokanee Gold is Bigfoot piss, I think. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:52 1
      - crash will love it -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:54
    - Congratulations on reading my IM. heheh -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:51 1
      - You just said it wasn't the best. I clarified :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:51
Oh Mr. Drysdale, you ass-kissing schemer. One day, the Clampetts will learn about investing and then you'll be screwed. -- nm - David Feb 26, 09:43 6
- There Might Be Blood, But Probably Not -- nm - Max Feb 26, 09:57 3
  - that would be a funny short. There Might Be Blood done in the style of the Beverly Hillbillies -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:58 2
    - I'll take a Story By credit. And I have a casting blacklist. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 10:01

- homework assignment at a SEC business school? -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:45
- Why didn't they just tie Gilligan up until it was time to launch their latest escape scheme? -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:45
speaking of robes and wizard hats, this cyber conversation is hilarious - zork Feb 26, 09:40 1
- oh my -- nm - Don Homer Feb 26, 09:52
I'm not ready to swap a medal drought in womens figure skating for dominance in Nordic Combined - crash davis Feb 26, 09:35 4
- another thought: Tara Lipinski looked kind of hot last night. Some age has done her well. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:41 3
  - yeah - she's grown into that mouth. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:42
  - not as hot as Peggy or Dorothy - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:42 1
    - well if I commented on Peggy & Dorothy, I might stray into "fantasies best left unposted" territory -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:43
For tRuMaN - crazy chick, an inkling on her "attachment style" - Facto Feb 26, 09:33 1
- Addendum (more dry, technical stuff) - Facto Feb 26, 09:36
I trust my wife, but if she tells me she's pregnant, I blow a gasket. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 26, 09:33 4
- "that halo team over there? they just said your wife is pregnant" - crash davis Feb 26, 09:44 2
  - "Groiny, that was an MLG team you just obliterated ..." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:46 1
    - "... in SWAT" -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:46
- Yep, me too. And she would understand my feelings. But then I go get my stuff checked a.s.a.p. - JaxSean Feb 26, 09:43
The only problem I have with the Canadian women's hockey team celebration is that there's a pic of one of them with a can of Coors Light - Reagen Feb 26, 09:24 21
- I love Canada -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 09:40
- I was going to say something about the underage drinking but then remembered I got ejected from RFK stadium for handing a beer to an underage patron,. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 09:30 13
  - you're a regular Lampwick -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:31
  - I think the legal drinking age in BC is 18 -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:31 10
    - not according to the article I read... she's legal in Quebec but not BC. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:31 4
      - ah - I read the article this morning, and must have gotten them round the wrong way -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:34 3
        
        You read pretty. nm - Dignan Feb 26, 09:35 1
        
        apparently so! -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:46
        
        the = "a similar" -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:34
    - 19. nm - Dignan Feb 26, 09:31 4
      - and quebec, where the "underage" drinker lives, has it at 18. Crazyness. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:32 3
        
        Alberta is 18 as well. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:33 2
        
        MB too. nm - Dignan Feb 26, 09:34 1
        
        19 here. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:35
  - If anything, the underage drinking is just a sign that canada needs to unify the drinking age - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:31
- You'd think Molson would step in and supply the free beer, even if it was *gag* Canadian. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:29 3
  - Molson owns Coors up here, and most of it was Molson. But any Coors is too much. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:31
  - Are you referring to the Molson-Coors Corporation? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:30 1
    - I'm aware of that. It would just be good PR for them to only supply Canadian. Maybe the ladies are lightweights like CQ though :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:34
- RINGERS! I KNEW IT! -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:27
- My sistah! -- nm - CQ si Feb 26, 09:24

Good lord loosi, no wonder women are seen as such vindictive b****** - Stephen Feb 26, 09:17 18
- i'm gonna quote Spawn and say: You are dumb. -- nm - 'lia Feb 26, 09:45 1
  - Typical woman... - Stephen Feb 26, 09:49
- I blame Lynda Carter. -- nm - David Feb 26, 09:38
- well, loosi, is in fact, single..... nm -- nm - groiny Feb 26, 09:27
- Right, because people never use hyperbole when suggesting ways to deal with hypothetical situations... -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 09:21 6
  - Right...cause there's no way that might have been what I was doing too... - Stephen Feb 26, 09:26 1
    - sounds to me like we should all drop it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:27
  - [deleted] 1
    - So if he'd stuck to just calling Loosi a "vindictive b*tch" we all could have just agreed and moved on. :) *NM* - Ender Feb 26, 09:27
  - I do it a billion times a day. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 09:21
  - and it's not hyperbole to go from me to "women". -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:21
- That's... quite the generalisation -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:19 5
  - No, it's true. Women are crazy. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Feb 26, 09:23 2
    - "All men are jerks, all women are psychotic." - Vonnegut Feb 26, 09:24 1
      - I'm not in total disagreeance. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 09:29
  - Not really. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times -- nm - Dignan Feb 26, 09:21 1
    - :Women are *vidictive bitches.* nm - Dignan Feb 26, 09:22
- jeez, it was just an off the cuff reaction without knowing more details. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:18
This sounds awesome. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 09:15 1
- nice. This place is fun too, for a bit broader perspective... -- (link) - znufrii Feb 26, 09:19
Stan Lee & Joe Rubenstien are on Big Bang Theory this coming monday. enclosed is Joe's note to the comic art list - peglegpete Feb 26, 09:13 1
- nice! -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 09:22
Men scorned aren't hardly as impressive as women scorned. -- (link) - Mop (226 lbs) Feb 26, 09:12
Dad Fail: Ordered item from Amazon for kids birthday this weekend. Ordered from wife's account with one day ship so it would arrive today - oblique Feb 26, 09:11 2
- sounds like you can pin it on the wife. dadputation saved -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:14 1
  - You fail to understand the level to tech responsibility I hold in the house - oblique Feb 26, 09:15
tfox: i still live in attleboro, but i consider it providence metro.... - x Feb 26, 09:11
Jim, I think his manner of saying she's being unfaithful determines how easily the damage can be undone. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 09:10
deevs, did we talk long program yet? - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:08 27
- I felt the same way. Couldn't argue w/the scoring. (spoilers?) - Diva Feb 26, 09:14 21
  - as much as I'd have loved for Joannie to finish higher, she just didn't skate as well as those two. - zork Feb 26, 09:28
  - also, Mao needs to *lighten the f up* - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:20 3
    - I imagine if she wasn't so pressured she wouldn't have been so miserable up there. it's sad when such a wonderful accomplishment is seen as a failure. - Diva Feb 26, 09:22 1
      - it was a great accomplishment -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:39
    - I think the Japanese would prefer losing to a Russian or an American compared to the country they lost to -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:22
  - this Olympics has made me more aware of the coaches than the previous ones - my hat is off to Brian Orser -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:15 10
    - Tarasova did Mao no favors with that music selection for the long program. It was so Russian and not in a good way. - Diva Feb 26, 09:19 6
      - I see your argument, and I respect that. But I thought it choreographed well were as I thought Kim's music sucked ass for skating. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:21 4
        
        wow - I thought the exact opposite. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:23 3
        
        her music's rhythym and her skating rhythym rarely aligned -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26
        
        it was classy! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:24 1
        
        the music -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26
      - i thought that too! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:21
    - We're definitely claiming half of that gold. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:16 2
      - I'm going to ask you not to, because then Russia would demand a huge number of medals :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:20
      - *pops a Molson's and takes Kim on a Zamboni ride* -- nm - Brian Orser Feb 26, 09:17
  - *falls again* -- nm - Carolina Kostner Feb 26, 09:14 4
    - I was referring to the top flight of skaters. NBC didn't show her, but I hear she was spectacularly bad. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:16 3
      - three falls and a touch down. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:19 2
        
        all in all, this competition was much better than the last one as far as falls go - crash davis Feb 26, 09:24 1
        
        yep. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:25
- The backstory on Nagasu has me convinced that there should be more financial support from the USFSA for athletes. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:11 2
  - Her performance in Vancouver should help her a lot with $$, but yes - there are plenty of other good skaters out there who could use the help. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:15 1
    - I can't believe her parents almost were unable to make the trip from California to Vancouver. - crash davis Feb 26, 09:19
- lemme guess: you backed a loser again....nm - x Feb 26, 09:09 1
  - my Joannie is no loser! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:10
"Life finds a way." -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 09:08
Wife: "I'm pregnant" Husband: "Cheating whore!" - oblique Feb 26, 09:08 3
- The correct reaction is to get his vasectomy checked and slip the Dr a 20 so HE suggests a paternity test at the same time. -- nm - Ender Feb 26, 09:20
- As far as I know, he didn't go that route. It's such a tough situation. I trust my wife more than anyone. - Jim Feb 26, 09:13
- Heh maybe not but I can certainly understand why it would -- nm - Stephen Feb 26, 09:12
"The bankers are available between 2 and 4pm for the call." - znufrii Feb 26, 09:07 7
- What all these guys below said. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 09:16
- Honestly, why don't you just say "they're available between 2 and 3:30? -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:12
- query: this has seemingly happened to you 4,962 times. have you considered tightening up the language a bit? -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 09:08 1
  - In other words, reading quickly, what you wrote could be taken as "the available times to schedule this call range from 2 to 4." -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 09:11
- [deleted] 2
  - How could I be miscomunicating?! I know perfectly well what I mean! - znufrii Feb 26, 09:42
  - exactly. I would also include an estimate of the length of the call. - decline Feb 26, 09:11
Stephen...it's actually more like less than .1% of the time that they can reverse. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 09:07 6
- Even though it's a super-small probability, there's also a super-small probability that asking for a paternity test won't damage the relationship -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:14 4
  - I'm pretty sure you can get a paternity test done without the other person knowing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:19 3
    - Sure, but (I'm assuming) only after the baby is born. But you can get yourself checked out any time, and it could save you months of worry and stress -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 09:24 2
      - And of course there are legal ramifications as well... - Stephen Feb 26, 09:28
      - oh of course. You can see that was the first thing I posted on b2. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 09:25
- Ah, yeah i figured it was low but wanted to give some reasonable leeway - Stephen Feb 26, 09:10
Jim, that new TNA show is the same show they've been running the last 4 years on Thursdays - Will Hunting Feb 26, 09:05 3
- I dunno. Easier to get people not liking what's happening on RAW to switch over. Channel flipping capture potential. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 09:22
- Hogan just mentioned the tag match and that it hadn't actually been announced yet...so i figured I'd share. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 09:22
- I'm curious that's for sure what Unlce Eric and Hogan will do, if it gets some notice for AJ and Somoa Joe.... - Remlik Feb 26, 09:15
