- Seems like quoting someone else's work is a good example of writing without thinking. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 11, 10:33
MH - is anyone competing in the SB+ contest - $50. worth of SB+ for the winner is an awesome prize! -- nm - JenBro Mar 11, 10:25 4
- To catch 100+ senseis in a month? No. I'll be happy with one. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 10:28 3
  - yeah. I had 3 extra onyx and made 9 omg - 0 catches. - decline Mar 11, 10:29 2
    - I made 12, caught one on the last or second to last piece. - Stephen Mar 11, 10:34
    - *nodding* -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 10:30

Hey Sugar Bush, did you get that updated list? -- nm - zork Mar 11, 10:21 1
- Sugar Tits can get it quicker -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:24
LIR: Jump the Shark is when ratings have been low and the writers/producers decide to do something outlandish to raise them. Like burying someone aliv - zork Mar 11, 10:20 21
- casting Ted McGinley isn't outlandish -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 10:22 7
  - no but Fonzie jumping a shark is. Looking at his real track record, Ted actually does not kill shows -- nm - zork Mar 11, 10:24 6
    - I think the longevity of Married w/Children actually broke McGinley of that curse. - Diva Mar 11, 10:29 2
      - There was a lot of worry when he had a guest role on The West Wing though -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 10:31
      - Yes he was. As Jefferson D'Arcy. He was so much better than the guy playing Ranger Steve. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:30
    - Unfortunately, jumptheshark.com is no longer active, but casting Ted McGinley was one of the ways a show could jump the shark - Roger More Mar 11, 10:27
    - This is true. You only get Ted after your show is on life support -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:25 1
      - Married w/ Children did one helluva job lasting another 7 seasons then. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 10:30

  - I disagree. - spoilers - Beaker Mar 11, 10:23 4
    - The Stewie Griffin one was really bad. - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:28
    - That wasn't a JTS moment for me, what has been though (spoils) - Stephen Mar 11, 10:26 1
      - yeah, that has been dumb...one reason I have stopped watching -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 10:26
    - Even if something feels like a JTS moment, if the show does not indeed JTS, then it's not a JTS moment -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:25
  - I was remembering that ... but, there's a difference with bones ... - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:21 4
    - Not my fault zork didn't make any qualifiers -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:23 3
      - yes, I did. Have Bones ratings been tanking? Did they do it specifically to rescue their ratings? -- nm - zork Mar 11, 10:25 2
        
        All shows do something during sweeps months to boost ratings -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:27
        
        it wasn't for those reasons. -- nm - b. Mar 11, 10:27
- CSI buried someone alive in an episode directed by Rob Zombie. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:20 1
  - dammit. Tarantino. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:20
In honor of TheIdol, I offer this *flex* - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:12 6
- When I first saw the stuff about Jersey Shore on The Soup, I immediately thought of him. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:13 2
  - The time I met TheIdol, with the artist now known as WeekendWarrior, he thought I was a New York native, even though I had only lived there 6mos - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:15 1
    - I know - I met him in Orlando and talked with him a few times. - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:29
- no monsters? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 10:13 2
  - Only if I drop my pants -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:13 1

Does anybody watch America's Next Top Model or whatever Tyra Banks' show is called, and saw last night's? -- nm - mara Mar 11, 10:09 7
- My wife watches it. I saw quite a bit of it. - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:10 5
  - Will you know what I'm talking about when I say I was disturbed by certain race-related aspects? It was hugely disturbing. - mara Mar 11, 10:15 4
    - that's not really out of the ordinary for the show - prayformojo Mar 11, 10:24
    - I was more disturbed by the pending/declined scene. That shit was cruel. (But then, so is the entire industry) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:16 2
      - Ugh. I saw that as a stupid attempt to make the Facebook/social media connection just for the trendiness. -- nm - mara Mar 11, 10:18 1
        
        Indeed, I thought that aspect of it was lame. But I thought the setup, on top of that, was just plain cruel. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:19
- oh yes girl you know it. -- nm - tRuMaNetta Mar 11, 10:10
workplace poll: have you ever felt included/excluded with the rest of the office because of your age? - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 10:06 20
- Pathetically, of course. - Old Antarctic Explorer Mar 11, 10:22
- yes. - b. Mar 11, 10:20
- No. -- nm - ceregon Mar 11, 10:19
- oh, I was excluded because I was married and because of age, but it didn't bother me......they're amateurs, I'm in the pro league. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 11, 10:17
- Yes. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 11, 10:14
- I've only felt excluded because I am so awesome and everyone else was so incredibly jealous of my awesomeness -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:13 2
  - "What's that? Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:14 1
    - The biggest attribute to my greatness is my modesty -- nm -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 11, 10:16
- We're a young office, so I'm on the good side there, but in the last year's worth of growth, it's become more clichey. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 11, 10:11 2
  - clich�, or cliquey? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 10:12 1
    - "cliquey" Knew it didn't look right. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 11, 10:53
- no, but people always think I'm a lot younger than I am. -- nm - Ki3m Mar 11, 10:10
- age, no. but when i was in banking, at two different branches I was the only male employee. that was odd. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 10:10
- Some. When I was at Chase, the group was mostly 18 - 24 year olds who partied some. - JaxSean Mar 11, 10:09
- If there is exclusion, it must be pretty rare for young people to feel excluded. - Max Mar 11, 10:09 1
  - well i know at law firms there are associate/partner strata that tend to break down along age lines -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 10:11
- age and race. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 10:08 2
  - you old cracker -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 10:10 1
    - no, yes. - tRuMaN Mar 11, 10:11

RIP Merlin Olsen -- (link) - Andie Mar 11, 10:04 2
- i'm about a half day behind today, aren't i? i blame it on last-day-ness. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 10:04
- Father Murphy??!! -- nm - Diva Mar 11, 10:04
uh oh, ....."I just wanted to let you know that I have moved on and found a new love." - dogbert Mar 11, 10:01 1
- I emailed her Redmond's profile and contact info. Dude wanted a woman, so whats a friend for, if not being a wingman. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:03
So I hadn't realized this, but the ending of Remember Me is something of a twist and after reading it, it seems Orphan bad. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 09:49 13
- (spoils) - Reagen Mar 11, 09:51 12
  - spoilerish - Diva Mar 11, 10:01
  - So David's feel-good movie of the year? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:59 2

      - "But I was going to Toshi Station to get some power converters!" -- nm - Master Chief Robert Pattinson Mar 11, 10:24

    - Nelson DeMille rocks. But I haven't read a book of his in a while. -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:05 3
      - The Charm School is one of my all-time favorite books -- nm - Stephen Mar 11, 10:13 2
        
        I'm not sure of the title, it might be In Country, but the one where a character of his revisits Viet Nam was superlative -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 10:15 1
        
        Close, Up Country, and yeah that was really good too. -- nm - Stephen Mar 11, 10:16
  - Heh - after your post I went to find out and yeah, yeesh! -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:53
  - wait, really? - znufrii Mar 11, 09:53
Maybe crazy chick *is* one of tRU's other personalities, and he doesn't know it! - musubi Mar 11, 09:40 20
- I would draw a connection with her appearance and Stacy's disappearance but only one is gay - zork Mar 11, 10:23
- Did the lunch meeting ever happen? -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 11, 09:57 1
  - no -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:59

  - we have this conversation in the Mel/Diva house. [nm] - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:51 6

    - *shakes head sadly* - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:53 3
      - no, no, no...it has nothing to do with this and everything to do with events within the Mel/Diva household. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 10:12
      - oh lord no, just joking about the situation because the alternative is just too scary -- nm - dogbert Mar 11, 10:02
      - No one believes this, it's just a joke -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:54
  - Speaking of crazy chicks, has spamlet ever migrated over here? - musubi Mar 11, 09:44 1
    - yes, but he cannot post on st from work. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:45
- wait, at least find a competent writer - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:42 1
  - "Band of Crazies" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:43

  - I think Hunter is a better name, but maybe that's just me -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:43
  - right, dogbert did. i figured it was there somewhere -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 09:43
  - That's what prompted my post. (nm) - musubi Mar 11, 09:43

I can't decide my favorite ST/TT Character... - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:40 34
- Crazy Chick climbed the charts at an unprecedented rate. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 09:45 7
  - Honestly true. It's been an impressive display. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:47 6
    - Pretty much unmatched I think. She brought it hard right from the start and then upped her game when there seemed like the character arc was done. -- nm - pmb Mar 11, 09:49 5
      - hmm, maybe this girl is field testing a movie script on me.... - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:50 4

- Stacy's GF's were always entertaining -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 09:43 2
  - forgotten gems for sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:52
  - Did the TSA put nher in Gitmo? I haven't seen her around in awhile. -- nm - TWuG Mar 11, 09:44
- the idol -- nm - oblique Mar 11, 09:41 11
  - he was good -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 09:42 10
    - I liked that The Idol was a normal guy here for the longest time who got told he was being a jerk and then turned into...The Idol. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:44 9
      - We really should have made that trip. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 09:45 2
        
        which one? - Mel Profit Mar 11, 10:12 1
        
        The Great Drink Off. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 10:27
      - question - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:45 4
        
        I think that was his original name, yes. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:46 2
        
        maybe, this was like 8 yrs ago or so, and my memory is fuzzy about last week. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 09:48 1
        
        big daddy was different. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:52
        
        no -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:46
      - And he was a great guy (in person). -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:45
- yo yo -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 09:40 9
  - that's it. I loved YoYo. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:43 8
    - I did too, but crazy chick is better. She has never ever not brought her A game to the table. -- nm - TFox Mar 11, 09:43 5
      - If I didn't fear for his safety I'd have liked for Tru to have gone on a first date. - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:48 1
        
        I agree. Though the potential danger keeps an edginess in the humor that is riveting. -- nm - pmb Mar 11, 09:54
      - actually, I think all that we've seen is her B game. When she goes incendiary ... *that* will be her Level A Crazy(tm) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:48
      - Agreed. The crazy-signal to noise ratio is off the charts. (nm) - musubi Mar 11, 09:46 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 09:47
    - Gogo was in Kill Bill Vol 1 :) -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 09:43 1
      - she's also an action figure on my desk but that's not important right now. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:45
- Bippy -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 09:40
*hands head in shame* I have been bested by some kind of computer malfunction - oblique Mar 11, 09:40 3
- you can install the OS one more time in a different folder and try to save the data, then format and install fresh -- nm - marcel Mar 11, 10:13
- how long did you leave it on black screen and cursor? (and I assume you tried safe mode/recovery console) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:42
- it's like Tron failed to get the disc into the MCP :( -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 09:41
"Man, you really rocked the casbah that round, truman." ..... "Who is truman? This is Hunter." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 09:39
[deleted] 6
- I for one welcome... -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 11, 09:55
- that's totally a sci-fi horror movie right there -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 09:47
- I'm not RC about spiders, etc but that's friggin' creepy. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 09:42
- Fricking wasps. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 09:39
- thus engendering an entire new argument over which all ST members must take sides -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 09:39
- GO WASPS! - Will Hunting Mar 11, 09:38
