        You can't hide your dirtiness, mara. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 10:01 1
        
        :-( Not even on the internet? -- nm - mara Mar 3, 10:03

ST Poll: Would you patronize a Starbux [public shoppe] if other patrons wore guns? - OAE Mar 3, 09:38 42
- 100% Nope if I had my kids with me. 75% Nope if it was just me. - JaxSean Mar 3, 09:55
- First tell me whether there can be a wrong answer. -- nm - mara Mar 3, 09:47 1
  - Good catch! There is No Wrong/Right Answer -- nm - OAE Mar 3, 09:48
- Unrelated? I was amused in Kansas by the international "no guns" symbol on the door of a credit union. - MojaveMeg Mar 3, 09:47 1
  - "sh!t, we have to try a different bank. This one doesn't allow guns!" -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:47
- absolutely...you never know when a Latte is going to go after some kid and need to be put down. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:45 3
  - "Oh crap, it's the Orange Mocha Frappucino Gang ... this shit just got *real*." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:47 2
    - you never bring non-fat creamer to a coffee fight. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:48 1
      - Rules?! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:49
- Sure. -- nm - Ender Mar 3, 09:43
- I have on a military base. -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 09:43 7
  - I think I might on a military base. But in a generic random Starbucks? - musubi Mar 3, 09:47 6
    - for me it depends who's carrying. -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 09:48 5
      - Yes. And thus at a random Starbucks where you have no idea who the person is...my answer is hell no. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:57 3
        
        so, for all I know, I go to Starbucks all the time where people are carrying guns. -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 09:59 2
        
        That wasn't the question though, now was it? (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 10:01 1
        
        the question didn't specify that I had to know about it! -- nm - loosilu Mar 3, 10:02
      - that does make a big difference. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:50
- no -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:42
- yeah, there's another group of citizens that wear guns everywhere.....the police. - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:41 18
  - Police aren't exactly citizens. They're police. 100% different. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:43 17
    - because we know police are never involved in domestic violence or other incidents involving illegal use of their firearms. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:44 16
      - I was in a place one time when the cops came in to do a shake down for protection money. I feel safer with "Average Joe" having the gun. -- nm - scorpion Mar 3, 09:46 8
        
        Everyone should carry shotguns. That'll solve everything. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:50 7
        
        Your equation of having a gun to there always being a crime going to take place is simply not true. - scorpion Mar 3, 09:53 4
        
        I never made any such statement, but feel free to make the arguement. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:55
        
        which is why you so frequently hear about those workplace stabbings and club beatings when someone gets fired -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:54 2
        
        I'm sure in fantasy land that no guns equates to no murder - scorpion Mar 3, 10:01
        
        Oh pixie, don't be so naive. The Man just doesn't want you to know about all the workplace stabbings and beatings. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:59
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Exactly. When the zombie hordes arrive, if you don't have shotgun, you're f***ed. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:55
      - on duty in public? -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:45 6
        
        I thought the issue was carrying guns.....you know they carry them when off duty too, right? -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:46 5
        
        if they do i've never seen it -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:47 4
        
        Years ago, our office manager's husband, a cop, was wearing his at our office Christmas party. It looked like it was going to fall out of its - jnine Mar 3, 09:57
        
        You never watch TV, do you? -- nm - oblique Mar 3, 09:51
        
        exactly. I'd rather *know* who has the gun in Starbucks, but I'm not really concerned with who has it. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 3, 09:50
        
        I know a few officers (and former officers) and the ones I know carry off duty. - loosilu Mar 3, 09:50
- Hell no, but then I don't drink coffee so the odds of me going to one are slim...now Jamba Juice would be a tough choice. -- nm - ceregon Mar 3, 09:41
- Hell no. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:41
- i never go to starbucks anyway but just another reason not to now -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:40
- I probably wouldn't shop at any store where that was allowed. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:40

- I want to die RDJ's hair white and make him Mr Howell. - ty97 Mar 3, 09:48
- Who's the woman on "Mad Men" with the amazing breasts? She has to be Ginger. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:47 5
  - She's on the cover of NY Mag this week. Looking ... - OAE Mar 3, 10:05
  - Oh and my first college dorm-mate has to be Gilligan. - Mel Profit Mar 3, 09:54
  - Christina Hendricks. spot on (but still not enough to get me watch this guaranteed shitfest) -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:50 1
    - correct. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:50
  - this -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:48
- Bill Murray as the Professor -- nm - eag Mar 3, 09:46 2
  - no, he'd be a good Mr. Howell though imo. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:47 1
    - Agree on this. Alec Baldwin too. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:51
- If Michael Cera is cast, I will never watch this. I hate him. -- nm - MDH Mar 3, 09:43 2
  - i like him, but i wish he'd play a *slightly* different character, just once. if his next movie is just another Michael Cera part, i'm out -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:44 1
    - This is like asking Will Ferrell to not be Ron Burgundy. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:52
- David Hyde Pierce as Mr Howell -- nm - amoxy Mar 3, 09:43
- George Clooney as the Professor. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:42

  - this -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:49
- How about Jay Baruchel for Gilligan? -- nm - amoxy Mar 3, 09:40
- Rachel Bilson as Mary Anne. -- nm - pmb Mar 3, 09:39
- I love your Gilligan choice -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 09:39 1
  - yes -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:46
ST, help me to make a travel decision please. - ty97 Mar 3, 09:36 9
- Thanks guys, all booked on the early flight -- nm - ty97 Mar 3, 10:01
- Earlier flight, sleep on the flight to Zurich. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:45
- take the earlier flight -- nm - decline Mar 3, 09:42
- take the earlier flight. (also, what if your meeting is nowhere near Zurich?) -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:39 1
  - if it's not Zurich, then it has to be Basel, which is 60-90 minutes by train, I think) - ty97 Mar 3, 09:40
- At 2 or 4 hours sleep as the differential I'd take the earlier flight. You can try to sleep on the plane. -- nm - pmb Mar 3, 09:38
- How easily do you sleep on planes? -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:38 1
  - When I'm exhausted, I sleep like a baby in first, and sleep okay in coach. - ty97 Mar 3, 09:42
- Second one. -- nm - Jelly Mar 3, 09:38
Question for people familiar with The Biggest Loser... - ceregon Mar 3, 09:32 9
- Part of me watches and thinks "Thank God I never reached that point." On the other hand I relate to the struggle and the dedication of - MojaveMeg Mar 3, 09:40
- I'd say it's much more inspirational than exploitive. I think they push their products a little too heavily (and some I think are more questionable - pmb Mar 3, 09:37 2
  - I've noticed the product placement a lot more in recent seasons, and agree with you. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 3, 09:41 1
    - "Oh, you weren't thinking of having that cake were you? have this 5 calorie piece of Extra gum instead!" -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:45
- I watch it, and it is certainly done in an effort to help people. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:35
- I've only seen a few episodes, but both. The contestants seem to get a lot out of it, but some of the challenges (like tempting people with junk food) - Roger More Mar 3, 09:35
- i watch it. while i can't say it's not exploitative, they really do stress the 'get your life back' , 'get healthy', 'inspire America' angle. - Andie Mar 3, 09:34 1
  - (i'd allow it, if it were me.) -- nm - Andie Mar 3, 09:35
- I don't think it's exploitative; they test these people though to see how quickly they'll revert - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:33
[deleted] 8
- Well, he does deserve it. Kick-ass goalie. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:24
- In America, he's probably the third most famous (active) hockey player right now. -- nm - David Mar 3, 09:24 6
  - Who do you consider the top two? - musubi Mar 3, 09:31 5
    - Crosby, and Ovechkin, I would assume. Which means about 3% of the pop know who they are. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:32 4
      - Yes and yes. -- nm - David Mar 3, 10:02
      - I honestly think that right now, Miller is more famous than Ovechkin to the general public. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:33 2
        
        Ovechkin gets so much play on PTI that I think he's a celeb of a sort. -- nm - David Mar 3, 10:02
        
        You are probably right. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:54
Alex had his 4 month dr checkup this morning. The monster was over 27", which means he's grown over 8" since birth, when he was tiny. 16 lbs, 11 oz. -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:22 4

  - ... or to combat the fictional Half-Life Combine ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 09:24
- take that, reagen -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:23
Here's an interesting blog post for healthcare wonks - How Maryland has contained healthcare costs while keeping hospitals profitable -- (link) - Roger More Mar 3, 09:20 5
- They took away all the free parking and made a $2 valet fee.... - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:22 4
  - Most (all?) of the local hospitals have con artists working in the hosp. administration. Slimey as hell. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 3, 09:26 1
    - FMH built a 5 story garage on the only corner of the hospital without a direct entrance - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:28
  - (a state commission that sets prices for acute treatment) -- nm - Roger More Mar 3, 09:26 1

Moose...the O's are pretty much set in the OF with Reimold getting 500 AB's. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:19 7
- Don't you guys still have Luke Scott? Did he go somewhere else? - musubi Mar 3, 09:30 6
  - We still have Luke Scott (he's the full time DH) - Will Hunting Mar 3, 09:32 3
    - Hmmm. Interesting. I still can't see Reimold getting 600 ABs though. - musubi Mar 3, 09:36 2
      - did you look at his numbers for 400 AB's last year? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:40 1
        
        Yeah. That's why unless he gets 600 ABs, I probably don't keep him. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:43
  - he is horrible in the OF. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 09:31 1
    - So is Jason Bay. It's LF, and he's got a bat. If he's on the roster, I assume he'll steal ABs. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:33
Ok, not I'm suspicious that TFox and ML are trying to make me waste a keeper slot. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:16 9
- that's like trying to game theory your strategy against Dumb & Dumber -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 3, 09:26
- [deleted] 5
  - Except from what I read he's probably not really a catcher by the time he makes the bigs. -- nm - Subversive Mar 3, 09:30 1
    - Different Montero. ARI's catcher, not the NYY prospect. (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:32
  - Curse you (and my paranoia). (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:29 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Argh! (nm) - musubi Mar 3, 09:39
