i'm volunteering as a photo shoot assistant tomorrow. they are shooting hockey skirmishes, (full uniforms, skates, refs) at various public locations - Andie Mar 4, 09:35 4
- Hottie Hockey Players! (or Hottie Models Pretending to be Hockey Players!) -- nm - Dano Mar 4, 09:45 1
  - both, i think. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 09:46
- given the nature of the sport, I first assumed "skirmishes" meant brawling and was going to suggest a raincoat to protect from the teeth and blood. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 09:37 1
  - i was going more for a 'brisk head to head encounter' type meaning, but you never know. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 09:39

Pam has her baby on The Office tonight. Coincidence?? -- nm - Max Mar 4, 09:28 1
- dammit, Reagan -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 4, 09:29
LIR - Loosi - hope your back is better soon ... I fell asleep after asking you on last night's board and never got the chance to reply. -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 09:24 1
- it's a bit better today. Thanks for asking. :) -- nm - loosilu Mar 4, 09:29
So, is now the time that I admit that I was getting really nervous about the Reagens yesterday afternoon? - ty97 Mar 4, 09:17 21
- Hooray! I was getting concerned too. -- nm - Dano Mar 4, 09:46
- there's a reagenette? I love that band! -- nm - amanda Mar 4, 09:26
- oh wow - new ST baby? COOL -- nm - JenBro Mar 4, 09:23

    - Our oldest took 10-11 hours. Youngest took a similar amount of time, but that was only because they slowed it down to - Jim Mar 4, 09:36
  - if men had babies, it would never take that long -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 4, 09:24 8
    - with how long some of you spend in the bathroom.. um.. -- nm - b. Mar 4, 09:29 7
      - I don't know about the single guys...but for married guys with kids...the bathroom is the only place where we can be guaranteed to left alone. -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 09:32 6
        
        Heh in my house that's not always a guarantee - Stephen Mar 4, 09:41 4
        
        Kelly got upset at Murphy Tuesday...he followed me in and wouldn't leave. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 09:44
        
        our cat likes to sit on the rad and watch you have a shower. she won't leave the room if she knows you are getting in. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 09:43 1
        
        See?! She's *evil*!! -- nm - Harvey Cat Mar 4, 09:46
        
        Oh, the cat is a given. My kids are 10 and 11...they have no desire to be anywhere NEAR the bathroom when dad goes in with a book or magazine. -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 09:43
        
        heh, I get that; but... -- nm - b. Mar 4, 09:36
- Me, too. I kept telling myself just because it was induced it doesn't mean it goes any faster or easier. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 09:18 5
  - Actually...being induced makes it go slower in a lot of cases. The drugs used to induce the labor, actually slow it down...if that makes any sense. -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 09:20 4
    - yah, it depends on what's in the mix. - b. Mar 4, 09:25 3
      - like if you put baby oil in the mix, it slips out faster. -- nm - Max Mar 4, 09:27 2
        
        heh, a natural tip for women to help induce is castor oil. - b. Mar 4, 09:32
        
        *wheeeee* -- nm - Baby Edward Bloom Mar 4, 09:29
From tRuMaN's post below about the song You're So Vain. With the second line being "You probably think this song is about you" wouldn't it stand to - HdnAgnda Mar 4, 09:14 7
- They'd be right *and* vain. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 09:17 5
  - yup, even though it sounds like Carly is trying to have it both ways with the way she worded the sentence. "You're so vain, you probably think this - HdnAgnda Mar 4, 09:25
  - but is it really vain if the song actually is about them? -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 09:24 3
    - I remember asking my mom this many years back... she said that the irony is kind of the point. - Dr.Vermin Mar 4, 09:44
    - Sure, if it's true that the incidents referred to in the song were fictional, as I think I heard. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 09:25 1
      - Is that where we're at with this song now? I am probably way behind because I heard it CS was writing/singing about Warren Beatty. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 4, 09:28
- Not necessarily. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 09:15
So I come back into the office after hearing the band Rogue Wave on the car radio to see the article on B2 about the rogue wave. - HdnAgnda having a LOST moment Mar 4, 09:11

    - oh my god, you still have that? :) - Andie Mar 4, 09:09
Not bad. Clear 4G in Chicago. My speedtest says 3MB down, 512k up. Advertised speed is 6 down/1 up but we know how that goes - oblique Mar 4, 09:01 4
- what network is this on; I have in my head that only Sprint has 4G right now (in select places)? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 09:02 3
  - Clear. It's essentially the same 4G network as Sprint -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 09:03 2
    - ah -- nm - Don Homer Mar 4, 09:04 1
      - I went with them because they still sell the "desktop modem" which I can connect a router to. Sprint is only selling USB and WiFi devices - oblique Mar 4, 09:05

  - Jim, here's an example of what I'm talking about. Core 2 Duo, 500GB drive, 2GB ram, etc. etc. for $300 -- (link) - oblique Mar 4, 09:14 3
    - but he'd still have to throw in another hundred or so for a monitor -- nm - decline Mar 4, 09:22
    - heh, walmart has an emachines laptop for $300 - tRuMaN Mar 4, 09:19 1
      - thanks to both of you. -- nm - Jim Mar 4, 09:35
  - They're cheap because the processors are whimpy and their CPUs are too. Plus small screen/keyboard. Don't get it as a PC for a kid (plus they lack - oblique Mar 4, 09:03 1
    - I guess i sorta agree with kilbo. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 09:04
- Windows CE isn't really the same as mobile. CE was specifically designed for lightweight computers. -- nm - Ender Mar 4, 08:50 4
  - The only "mobile" OS I'd run on a netbook is Android or an iPad for the iPhone OS -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 09:06 2
    - ehh, i like my stripped down Ubuntu linux on my eeepc, but thats just me -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 4, 09:08 1
      - I don't consider Ubuntu a mobile OS by that definition, however stripped down -- nm - oblique Mar 4, 09:08

  - And getting worse thanks for full body scanners. Don't you feel safer? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 4, 09:13 1
    - than without them? yeah, i would feel safer -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 4, 09:40

  - You're most welcome...and if I don't, you can always find them at the website :) - MojaveMeg Mar 4, 08:45
I was wondering last night why truman never told us he worked for Simon Cowell. Anyone else notice him having playtime with his nipple? -- nm - zork Mar 4, 08:20 1
- pretty sure i dont, simon cowell doesnt pick his nose on national tv and wipe it - tRuMaN Mar 4, 08:29
Who is the Count punching here? I'm hoping it's that smarmy teenage vampire, but it looks more like a Batman villain or something. -- (link) - mara Mar 4, 08:19 2

    - See...I don't care for it cuz they find too much stuff. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 08:07
- I saw that on Anthony Bourdain's show. Creepy. (nm) - howie Mar 4, 08:04
- creepy indeed -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 08:04 1
  - [deleted]
- I don't think inanimate objects can mutate. Did you mean mutilated? -- nm - mara Mar 4, 08:03 1

FoxNews has a video of the rogue wave hitting that ship in the Med. - Will Hunting Mar 4, 07:56 15
- First hundreds of people get sick on a ship, now giant waves smoosh another one. When is CQ going on his cruise? - decline Mar 4, 08:12 2

    - It's pretty amazing the person filming didn't get swept off the ship. -- nm - pmb Mar 4, 08:06 1
      - i don't know how they were on deck. cruise ships have pretty tight guidelines and i'm amazed someone could get by them. -- nm - Andie Mar 4, 08:40
  - I assume it's the one on their front page. -- (link) - mara Mar 4, 08:03 4
    - heh, I saw that one on youtube ... I think it might be fake. But I could be wrong :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 08:06 3
      - I wouldn't put it past Fox News not to vet it. -- nm - mara Mar 4, 08:15 2
        
        I just scanned Youtube; found the same video posted in Nov 2008. FoxNews got had. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 4, 09:31
        
        It just looks so much like the deck of a BC ferries ship, and slightly worse weather than usual -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 4, 08:17
  - There are a few previous incidents on youtube, but I'm also interested in seeing this new one -- nm - Beryllium Mar 4, 08:00

- just cut it up and resplice it together randomly. -- nm - mafic Mar 4, 07:48 1
  - It was Edge of Darkness. I'm not sure no one would even be able to tell since no one comes to watch it. hehe -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 07:57
- Oops! Did a platter not get put in place or did it just spool out of control? -- nm - TWuG Mar 4, 07:47 1
  - splice snagged in the failsafe so it just started piling onto the floor. -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 07:48
