  - Chickenpox is on the short list for damaging my hearing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:53 18
    - Un-fucking-believable. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 13:03
    - way to make Beaker feel better. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 12:59 16
      - the vaccine probably means she'll have a mild case. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 13:01 5
        
        that still doesn't make it a thing that people say. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 13:04 4
        
        OTOH, it's not like she actually causes anything by saying it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 13:07 2
        
        yeah, didn't bother me any. no sweat -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 13:08
        
        I could cause him to worry unnecessarily. it was wrong. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 13:07
        
        You're right, I shouldnt' have said it. Sorry Beaks. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 13:04
      - but on the plus side, doesn't loosi normally say that rubella or mumps or measles or yellow fever were the most likely cause? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 13:00 9
        
        No, I never had any of those. It's a very short list. - loosilu Mar 9, 13:01 8
        
        but here you didn't name names. You just said "a fever". -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 9, 13:04 [Backboard] 5
        
        we're doing ST forensics now? - loosilu Mar 9, 13:06 4
        
        Ah, I see where my confusion came from: You got a yellow fever *vaccine* a few years ago, and that tidbit stuck in my head. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 13:08 1
        
        yeah, that was in 2008. it was unpleasant. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 13:09

        or maybe just bad genes. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 13:02 1

      - andie was *virulent* -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 13:07
      - mine was pretty bad. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 13:01
      - Both my boys had mild cases. I was like your brother...spots everywhere. It was horrible. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 13:01
- sorry dude -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 12:48
- even with the vaccine? wow. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:47 6
  - same thing happened to our 2 nieces as well. -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 12:56
  - better to find out that the vaccine didn't take sooner rather than later... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:49 3
    - she got it in what, 2005? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:50 2
      - maybe the virus has mutated since -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 9, 12:52 1
        
        it's not known for that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:54
  - Which is why so many docs don't bother with the vaccine. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:48
- aww :( sorry to hear that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:46

- as much as it bugs me, I can smile that the photo is on the front page, and these sad people are a dwindling breed. - ty97 Mar 9, 12:56
- People are f*cking stupid. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 12:53 4
  - For me, the real story is "27 people cancel their subsrcitptions. Everyone else deals with it" -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 12:55 3
    - The comments sicken me. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 12:59 2
      - Ah, I just read the article. Newspaper comments always sicken me. -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 13:01 1
        
        The article quotes the comments, doesn't it? I thought that was the point of the article. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 13:04

  - this post is full of so much win -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 9, 12:43 1
    - I missed the word 'someone' when I read it -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 12:51
- 15% of americans need to get their priorities right - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:41 1

Not sure how anyone could call themselves analysts, and coming up with this: PS3 to eventually sell 127 million units, outselling the Wii and XBox. -- (link) - Inigo Mar 9, 12:37 17
- Brooklyn's Finest will eventually catch and surpass Alice in Wonderland's box office, too. -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:46
- To put this in perspective, this would require it to sell 23.5M units each year for the next four. In its first four years, it's sold 32M. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 12:40 11
  - The *idea* is that the PS3 is on a ten year release plan. - Inigo Mar 9, 12:43 10
    - PS3 still hase price to work with, the 360 & Wii have already spent most of that sales capital - scorpion Mar 9, 12:50 8
      - After three and a half years. if the sales were going to skyrocket, they already would have. - Inigo Mar 9, 12:53 7
        
        Problem is, that in order to do future titles, the 360 is goingt o have to have a hardware update, or a new generation, much faster than the PS3. - scorpion Mar 9, 13:01 2
        
        No, they really won't. Sony will release a new console within a year of when Microsoft and Nintendo does. - Inigo Mar 9, 13:06 1
        
        I'll take that bet on 2 years. What are they going to add besides power? - scorpion Mar 9, 13:39
        
        it did outsell the 360 by 2M in the past 52 weeks. But at that rate it'll just catch up in 2014. - Reagen Mar 9, 12:56 2
        
        And with Halo: Reach looming... -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:57 1
        
        Natal as well. -- nm - Inigo Mar 9, 12:58
        
        People just don't like arrogant dictators. "Our hardware is superior, you're clearly dumb for not buying it." - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:54

- *come* -- nm - Inigo Mar 9, 12:39 3
  - Look, I don't know what kind of relationship you think we have but... -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:47 2
    - Heh. Did you post that seeing the IM? -- nm - Inigo Mar 9, 12:50 1
      - I did not. -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:55

- good location, bearable hotel...i'd stay there but not spend much time there -- nm - ceregon Mar 9, 12:52
- free is always good. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 12:39
- fair at best, but with free rooms, it's perfect as a basecamp in the middle of the strip -- nm - peglegpete Mar 9, 12:37 1
  - Cool. it's not where i wouldve picked, but for free I can't say no. -- nm - strongbad Mar 9, 12:39

- (Fashion and me? We come from different planets.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:33 4
  - how can it be white and tartan? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:37 2
    - tartan-like pattern, but using white and green as the colours. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:40 1
      - oh man, and I just got new glasses a few months ago. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:40
