I have not yet been there, but I think my default bar in the MHT is going to be millie's. - sluttella Feb 26, 19:22 3
- This is right near our new hacienda -- (link) - ty97 Feb 26, 19:33 1
  - Oh boy - I could have fun with that menu :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 26, 19:38
- I'd go there with you. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 19:30
so I finally took the advice of people here and watched shakespeare in love - dogbert Feb 26, 19:14 2
- you probably think viking means excellence -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 19:15
- yes, yes it ddi. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:15
If Hurt Locker looses best picture you may blame it on this guy -- (link) - eag Feb 26, 19:10 3
- Ha! Ha! -- nm - Nelson Feb 26, 19:16
- is it supposed to win? -- nm - J Feb 26, 19:16 1
  - For the last month or so the pendelum has swung strongly into its favor almost to the point of overkill. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 19:17
well it's not 6-0 - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 19:08
And...my assignment just changed. - ty97 Feb 26, 19:03 3
- how many more cities till you earn your saucer? -- nm - dogbert Feb 26, 19:08
- where to? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:04 1
  - Still US, I'm not certain on the city yet. - ty97 Feb 26, 19:05
wow -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 19:00
A local-ish movie theater is playing every Oscar-nominated short film....maybe I should do that this weekend. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 18:57 22
- how are these not playing in Chicago?! -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 19:15 1
  - psst. Check out the Landmark Century Centre Cinema -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 19:24
- (also, question for the DC-area folks - I'm assuming it's easier to take the Metro to any DC-area theater, rather than drive, right?) -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 19:12 6
  - Not if it's Shirlington. No Metro here. (it's the only arthouse I know in NoVA) -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:19 1
    - No, it's the E Street Landmark. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 19:21
  - hells yeah - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 19:19
  - If you're going to the Landmark, you can find parking around the corner from TT-endorsed Harry's Pub on Sunday, but Sat's going to be hard to find - Max Feb 26, 19:16 1
    - Ok, thanks to you and Dano. I think I might just try the Metro anyway, as I just found this: - kelly Feb 26, 19:18
  - When I would go to E Street Cinema I would drive. They have a reduced parking rate for the garage. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 19:14
- yeah, short films. They're a ball. I'd rather throw up pork rinds -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 19:01 2
  - ?? I love a good short film. - ty97 Feb 26, 19:02 1
    - I've never seen any, just being an ass for ass sakes :) I wanted to use pork rinds in something -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 19:03
- They are doing that at the Cable Car. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:00
- This is a great idea. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 19:00
- take your Paxil - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 18:59 5
  - All of them? - kelly Feb 26, 19:01 4
    - The animated ones aren't all depressing. (Wallace and Gromit!) -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 19:02 3
      - Ooh! "Program also features three bonus shorts: Pixar's Partly Cloudy (USA), Poland's The Kinematograph and Canada's Runaway." -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 19:05
      - yeah, i just heard that about the live action. Wallace & Gromit are aces -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 19:03 1
        
        I LOVE Miracle Fish (we showed that as well) (spoilers) - Dano Feb 26, 19:10
- I've seen 2 of the animated and 1 of the live action and would recommend them highly. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 18:59 1
  - (One of the short films qualified for the Oscars by winning the Best Animated Short Film Award at our festival) -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 19:00
Here is the link to the beer carnival at our offices tomorrow. -- (link) - Dano Feb 26, 18:57 2
- Here's the beer list. I must have missed some. I should go take a photo. -- (link) - Dano Feb 26, 18:58 1
  - oooh, if you like coffee, try Kona Pipeline Porter. It was one of my favorites this winter. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:59
Work, the war, and this snow have been taking my ST time away, but I havent mentioned that I really like Caprica. - Jovian Feb 26, 18:55 2
- haven't seen todays yet, but I'm still watching it -- nm - dogbert Feb 26, 18:57
- watching, yes. enjoying, sometimes. both kids are fantastic -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 18:56
what country made their speed skaters look like they are in Tron? -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:55 1
- Australia -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 19:00
good job! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 18:54
In an e-mail to my manager, I suggested he buy me a jetpack. And it wasn't even off-topic. - ty97 Feb 26, 18:49 13
- travel -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 18:52 4
  - if only there were a single category for this, I would love my life -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 18:53 3
    - after the initial purchase, most all expenses will be fuel or repair. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 18:55 2
      - he'd have to depreciate it over time, like a car. -- nm - sluttella Feb 26, 18:56 1
        
        exactly -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 18:57
- I have to admit I am jealous of you now. I miss traveling. - loosilu Feb 26, 18:50 7
  - The funny thing is, we're trying to figure out how I can get from home to Deerfield, IL. - ty97 Feb 26, 18:53 6
    - cities are crazy. rental car + parking probably = train + hotel + cabs. -- nm - sluttella Feb 26, 18:56 3
      - I'm guessing parking should be free in the burbs, and I have free street parking near me. - ty97 Feb 26, 18:57 2
        
        I'm so glad I chose to drive up here when I did. the rental car policies at my company are *insane.* three layers of approval. - sluttella Feb 26, 19:00 1
        
        We're lucky, normal stuff doesn't require any special approvals.... - ty97 Feb 26, 19:01
    - heh. Sounds like renting is the only way. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:54 1
      - that, or I could see him re-assigning me. - ty97 Feb 26, 18:56
Dano is in the midst of a lot of good beer. Midas Touch is the beer I saved to be my 200th when I earned my saucer. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:43 49
- *backboards and whimpers at the list* -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 19:18
- Please to explain the saucer. Also, in the midst of that beer, I would probably die of alcohol poisoning. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:46 33
  - link below. The Flying Saucer aka the place where I learned beer. Need to drink 200 different beers to get a golden saucer on the wall. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:50 32
    - do you have to drink them *there*? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:51 31
      - but of course. and you can only get credit for 3 a night. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:53 30
        
        3?!? what are they promoting, lightweights? - dogbert Feb 26, 18:59 26
        
        you know some of the good beers are over 10%? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:01 24
        
        that's why I said 2 weeks ;) -- nm - dogbert Feb 26, 19:03 1
        
        The issue is, do you want to actually taste them? If I've blowing $13 on a bottle of Chimay, I want to start it sober. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:05
        
        very few really. even stone IPA is only 8 or 9, I think. I mean, they're not miller lite, but they're not poison. -- nm - sluttella Feb 26, 19:03 21
        
        the Belgians get up there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:05 20
        
        I actually really dislike belgians so I wouldn't know this exactly. I just know that there are very few over 10 at zeno's besides - sluttella Feb 26, 19:06 19
        
        Fair enough. I hate barleywines. Dogfish 120 minute is what, 18%? Insane. They have some other crazy strong ones. - loosilu Feb 26, 19:07 18
        
        well, yeah. but that's a total exception. dogfish 60 kicks my ass and that's below 8. (nobody cares inside) - sluttella Feb 26, 19:11 8
        
        a keg of 90. we got a keg of 60 once and instantly decided we had lost our minds. :) -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:12 1
        
        I remember all but about half an hour of that night. it is one of my most wonderful, tragic drinking stories ever. - sluttella Feb 26, 19:20
        
        60 is the best one IMO. The others are too hoppy for me. - loosilu Feb 26, 19:12 5
        
        I *love* hoppy (stone IPA is a top five for me) but I feel like 90 and 120 are just "get me drunk" not "let me enjoy a beer." - sluttella Feb 26, 19:14 4
        
        we are IPA buddies. stone ipa regular is good. stone ruination is fucking orgasmic. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:15 2
        
        we have to get together. as soon as I start moving around up here, you and my stepsister martha are going to cage match - sluttella Feb 26, 19:18 1
        
        after a Ruination, 60 Minute tastes like Bud. Fact. The name is well earned. - TFox Feb 26, 19:19
        
        I am a hop addict but apparently I have limits. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:14
        
        you must go. Dogfish is my hands-down fave. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:09 8
        
        have you had flying dog? it's so perfect. I can't find it up here. it's almost the only thing I miss about MD. - sluttella Feb 26, 19:12 6
        
        apparently they own Spanish Peaks brewery out west, and we are desperately - loosilu Feb 26, 19:14
        
        flying dog is another one of my early "finds" that got me hooked. it's readily available down here. - TFox Feb 26, 19:14 4
        
        *really*? as soon as my stuff is here, I'll feel better about traveling. I'm putting you on my list. I tried the FD pale ale first and was instantly - sluttella Feb 26, 19:16 2
        
        we will fill a box and send you back north with it. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:17 1
        
        (not, like, immediately. after we hang.) -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:18
        
        we have a lot of it too. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:15
        
        it's good shit. I want to go with Tempe (our brewmeister). We're trying to arrange it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:10
        
        probably safety. :) -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 19:00
        
        ah, the zeno's passport.plaque on the wall if you get through one. I? did not. -- nm - sluttella Feb 26, 18:58 2
        
        yet. There's always time. - ty97 Feb 26, 18:59 1
        
        zeno's is *awesome.* regulars shun the passport. we don't need validation. we have the check card statements and - sluttella Feb 26, 19:01
- i started to whimper reading the list -- nm - mara Feb 26, 18:44 4
  - I wonder where he is. Dano! Where is this festival at? -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 18:49
  - mara: can I put you in our brewery fan club? I'd love you to try our beer. We will have to find a way to get it there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:46 2
    - sure. i'll try to get into fb soon and accept. -- nm - mara Feb 26, 18:53 1
      - we will get you some, somehow. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:54
- I thought that said you had a 200 when you saw your saucer. - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:44 8
  - I made it into the ring of honor here: -- (link) - TFox Feb 26, 18:47 7
    - why did you not inform me of this place when I was going to Nashville? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:50 6
      - I would be floored if I didn't. It's one of my first recommendations always, honestly. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:51 5
        
        I promise you did not. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:51 4
        
        I'm trust I didn't, but that's weird and sucky of me. It's right next to the Frist Art Museum. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:54 3
        
        Admittedly I did not have free time in Nashville. I had to send someone out to get me drive-thru food. - loosilu Feb 26, 18:55 2
        
        this may have been why. i dunno. next time. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 18:56 1
        
        God knows if I'll go there again. I loved it though. - loosilu Feb 26, 18:59
LYC: I went to my endocrinologist today, and he didn't tell me I was too fat. - loosilu Feb 26, 18:40 24
- maybe he was hitting on you? -- nm - dogbert Feb 26, 18:54 1
  - I... doubt it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:54
- This is another pet peeve of mine - eag Feb 26, 18:49 4
  - I'm still debating whether I should go for a final 10 lbs. I'm within the healthy range right now, but that - MojaveMeg Feb 26, 19:01
  - I could lose a few pounds, I won't deny it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:53 2
    - Well - eag Feb 26, 19:02 1
      - doctors get a pass on that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:02
- my parents went to an endicrinologist once -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 18:48 4
  - and it turned out they were autistic -- nm - mara Feb 26, 18:51 3
    - oh, you are mean. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:51 2
      - heh, it just amuses me. you're lucky i'm not around more, i'd be trying to memify it. -- nm - mara Feb 26, 18:55 1
        
        It's ok, it's a fair shot. and I am mean sometimes as well. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:57
- if you don't have a keyboard with extra-large letters like me, you're not fat honey, let alone too fat. :) -- nm - Kevin Smith Feb 26, 18:45
- You know, I haven't had a fast food burger in ages and tonight I'm yearning for a Wendy's double. -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 18:43 6
  - sometimes you just gotta do it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:44 5
    - tomorrow we have to go to Riverhead to some outlets for stuff, I might break down. Probably not though. I'll definitely get a frosty though -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 18:46 4
      - what you need to do is get the fries from Mickey D's, and the Frosty from Wendy's. then you dip the fries in the frosty. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:52 2
        
        and thanks to you, I will not get any of this trash food. I owe you one -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 18:59 1
        
        I didn't get fat! -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:00
      - if I can find a Wendy's. Hopefully the GPS will steer me in the right direction -- nm - CQ Feb 26, 18:47
- It's you beer diet. -- nm - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:42 3
  - ... - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:44
  - I'm quite shocked I didn't gain weight. The beer must be good for me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:44 1
    - Darn my timing. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:45
Brian Johnson hit one of the most dramatic HR's in SF Giants history -- (link) - amoxy Feb 26, 18:39 1
- The Giants win the Pennant, The Giants win the pennant!!! - Redmond, Canadian Hockey Fan Feb 26, 18:53
Good lord, people. Go take a shower or something. -- nm - David Feb 26, 18:33 11

  - get showerin, stinky -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 18:49
- a bath would be nice. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:37

  - "Bear rug" -- YIFF IN HELL! -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 18:43
- I have to leave soon anyway. - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:36 3
  - what happened to your yarn and what are you knitting? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 18:38 2
    - I dropped it at home and I don't know yet. - the liioulu with rickrack Feb 26, 18:41 1
      - MMM, Cherry Tree Hill is good stuff. I like Noro too (much more flashy). I got some Lorna's Laces today. - loosilu Feb 26, 18:57
