- See, when he inhales, Obama's magic lungs turn the carcinogenic smoke into CO2-neutralizing Hope Vapor. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 1, 12:57
- I think it refers to smoking cessation measures, and not smoking itself. So he's taking medication (gum?) but not smoking. -- nm - Max Mar 1, 12:52 3

  - "Smoking is bad. Unless you live a stressful life, then what the hell, eh? Light up!" - Name Withheld By Request Mar 1, 12:47 1

- EW informed me that the movie is not Alice in Wonderland, as in the book, but is actually a sequel. - Spawn Mar 1, 12:38 15
  - Lewis Carroll didn't write a book called "Alice in Wonderland" anyway. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 12:49 10
    - Hence my lack of "s. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 12:56 8
      - I'm just not sure what you mean by "as in the book." Which book? -- nm - mara Mar 1, 13:02 7
        
        Really? -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 13:05 2
        
        there are two. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:06 1
        
        But only one of them sounds like "Alice in Wonderland". The other sounds like Through the Looking Glass. nm -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 13:08
        
        Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I was afarid if I said that, half of ST would not be sure I meant the original. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 13:04 3
        
        which already has a sequel. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:06 1
        
        Two. And this is not those, either. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 13:09
        
        And even wiki gets it: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to "Alice in Wonderland") is an 1865 novel written by English author - Spawn Mar 1, 13:06
    - And even previous adaptations have lumped in stuff from the sequel book willy-nilly so it's all a mishmash anyway. *NM* - Ender Mar 1, 12:53
  - Yeah, she's returned to Wonderland. It's also how the Hatter has more than just a cameo. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 1, 12:48

- Should've listened to me then, suckas. -- nm - Sen.Chafee Mar 1, 12:45
- what's missing from that chart is a comparison of the Dem's reform bill in 1993... -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 12:39
- So, who voted down the '93 bill? Do the Dem's have any room to talk? -- nm - scorpion Mar 1, 12:38 1
  - I see. Never went to the floor. -- nm - scorpion Mar 1, 12:40

re the PS3 glitch, and specifically as it relates to Netflix, we started watching Primeval Season 3 on it last night with no problems at all. -- nm - Stephen Mar 1, 12:17
Spawn, that happened to me. I mean, not Japan, but in the UAE. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:16 3
- Ouch. Did they cancel your ticket? -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 12:21 2
  - Technically I didn't have a ticket but they flew me home. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:34

- very interesting crop of RBs on the free agent market come Friday. Can't wait to see where they all end up. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 12:16
- Imo, any team that was considering LT will take Thomas Jones first. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 12:15 8
  - Easily. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 12:20

    - I think your team is a possible exception. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 1, 12:52 3

        Where do you put Sproles on that list? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 1, 12:59 1
        
        [deleted]
    - I wonder if he'll and in San Diego. Sproles and Jones would be a great combination. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 12:22 1
      - Word around the campfire is that Diego is letting Sproles go too. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 12:24
[deleted] 1
- that's actually a very interesting distinction... -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 12:12
My favorite recent comment was that the game where Nebraska beat Texas made Suh and I quote "look too good". - David Mar 1, 12:10 15
- Word...and to your B2 post. I mean...that quote was ridiculous. Sure, he's the better player, but we think mcCoy is the better pick. - Jim Mar 1, 12:13 14
  - People want to like QBs more. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:17 12

        Their GM had a phenomenal reply to that: "It was nice of Dr. Schefter to medically clear him for us." -- nm - David Mar 1, 13:03 1
        
        That's awesome. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 13:05
        
        If they do, i think it's a certainty that the Rams pick top 5 again in 2011. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 12:25 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        This is true...I just don't think you can waste the #1 pick and all that money on a guy who hardly played this year... - Jim Mar 1, 12:31 1
        
        Nobody wants to trade up, and everybody wants to trade down. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 1, 12:56
    - [deleted] 2
      - oh. Well then that's doubly stupid. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 12:35
      - Sorry...yeah Gerald McCoy. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 12:21

- I'm 18 hours out (might not help in the short term), should I still send what I have? -- nm - Stephen Mar 1, 12:15 8
  - As long as you can afford it, and are aware that the ships might only be used to block a port (Their ships might already be gone), sure. - Inigo Mar 1, 12:24 5
    - Yeah, i've got gold in reserve, and can afford to send. - Stephen Mar 1, 12:43 2
      - great! -- nm - b. Mar 1, 12:45
      - Sweet. Amazing how many STers are actually playing. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 12:44
    - stephen, if you do send, send them to pow (guigue's mwc) on that island first. - b. Mar 1, 12:26 1
      - ok, will do. -- nm - Stephen Mar 1, 12:43
  - I'm just a fill-in helper: what say you, mel or inigo or..? -- nm - b. Mar 1, 12:20 1

  - yes, but we're not letting them amass ships there. - b. Mar 1, 12:09 38
    - I'm thinking it's time to lock down both ports. - Mel Profit Mar 1, 12:15 36
      - I think they will complain that it's not what we agreed on (even though I don't think the leadership made that deal) - Guigue Mar 1, 12:17 34
        
        *blink* *blink* they have odd interpretations of war. - Mel Profit Mar 1, 12:36 20
        
        There entire handiling of this war has been odd - eag Mar 1, 12:46
        
        They attacked Pow? I missed that -- nm - Guigue Mar 1, 12:41 1
        
        Yes, they attacked POW's harbor earlier (they got crushed). -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 12:43
        
        Wasn't this the guy who was all "Give me 3 days to get my military upgraded and then I'll show you what I can do!" Finish Him! -- nm - Lady MacDiva Mar 1, 12:39 15
        
        I think that was their diplomat, sull. - b. Mar 1, 12:44 14
        
        konias said almost exactly that to me, b. - Inigo Mar 1, 12:46 12
        
        "This war that we declared on you is awfully inconvenient for us." - Reagen Mar 1, 12:49 6
        
        But - eag Mar 1, 12:53 3
        
        I love that part. - Mel Profit Mar 1, 13:00 2
        
        Well we were already ready and prepare - eag Mar 1, 13:04 1
        
        I agree... - Mel Profit Mar 1, 13:08
        
        my favorite so far may be the person who said someone should stop attacking her because she never wanted the war. - b. Mar 1, 12:52

        We need to crush them before some of there big players decide to come off vacation -- nm - eag Mar 1, 12:31 2
        
        I'm sure that's their plan. Wear down your gold reserves to the point that re-arming will be timely and costly. -- nm - Lady MacDiva Mar 1, 12:37 1
        
        That seems to be there plan - eag Mar 1, 12:40

        I tried on my bb - it's... challenging. -- nm - b. Mar 1, 12:38 2
        
        My enV Touch will not let me use the pulldown menu. It used to, but months ago something changed. - Spawn Mar 1, 12:40 1
        
        I can pull-down but can't use some buttons, so more than checking messages and actions is ughy. -- nm - b. Mar 1, 13:02
        
        iPad? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 12:27
        
        We can say we are doing it since they attacked POW because POW was to be our entrance point. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 12:22
      - I agree. We should let them know beforehand too. That will really piss konias off. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 12:16
    - Ah. I am still rebuilding from last night. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 12:15
