Do we know about Lanbeck's shop on Etsy? He's trying to raise a little cash. Not sure if I should link it here, but it's on his Facebook page. -- nm - mara Mar 15, 13:12
Mel alert: Pearl Jam is coming to Boston on May 17. - TFox Mar 15, 13:03
Really folks? An $11 expense report in the middle of the month? Really? -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 12:56 4
- I don't mind those as long as they're filled out properly. An expense report is an expense report, regardless of whether it's $11 or $1100. -- nm - Max Mar 15, 12:59 3
  - not as much fun though! -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 13:01
  - I wouldn't care either, but they all have instrux from the Corp to please not do this until the end of the month if it's under $100. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 13:00 1
    - ah yeah, I can see unnecessary frequency being a nuisance. -- nm - Max Mar 15, 13:03
Toyota press conference saying the driver of the Prius must have intentionally depressed the gas pedal to keep the car accelerating...how many times - CrankYanker Mar 15, 12:56 6
- well, he did say he thought putting it in neutral would flip the car. personally, I think he is full of crap. - internet-based spell-checker Mar 15, 12:59 3
  - Sometimes just getting into the car with driver and have them do exactly what they did will provide the answer. "My car is sluggish, no power" - CrankYanker Mar 15, 13:03
  - Oh yeah, I saw that guy on the news. We laughed and laughed. - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 13:02 1
    - When I saw him when the story first broke, nothing about him seemed genuine. But I'm cynical. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 13:13
- cars should have black boxes. -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 12:57 1
  - The Prius has an "event recorder" but it wasn't activated because there was no accident. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 12:58
ST Help needed: I need to get my fiancee (whos upset that shes not getting a B-day party) a B-day present.....under $50 pls.. Thanks. -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 15, 12:56 5
- what does she like? (because, something to do with that) -- nm - Roger More Mar 15, 12:59
- a birthday party. - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:59
- Video clips of her friends and family saying Happy Birthday to her. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 15, 12:57

- Vibrator. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 12:57
i forgot my mp3 player at home today, the silence (as it is, which it really isnt) is making me mad -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:50 2
- Does your workplace frown upon streaming music? -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 13:10
- I did the same thing, but have the opposite problem. - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 12:58
anyone else having trouble with the yahoo tourney pick'em? -- nm - zork Mar 15, 12:50
I'm at 8.5 on a 1-10 Scale of Non-Motivation today. - JaxSean Mar 15, 12:43 2
- at this point, i have been at work since 6am, my motivation level on that scale is about a -25 -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:47
- I am about that. - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:44
STIS: Somebody has offered me Jason Kubel in a trade. Who? - Strongbad Mar 15, 12:43 7
- [deleted] 1
  - *ding* -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:49
- Guy? -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:43 4
  - don't get me started. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:51
  - It's a non-ST league -- nm - Strongbad Mar 15, 12:44 2
    - Bizarro Guy? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:47 1
      - Analog Guy? -- nm - zork Mar 15, 12:51
~You - your sex is on fire. So were the words to transpire~ -- nm - Epiphany Mar 15, 12:33 16
- There's not one song by these guys that doesn't irritate me. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 12:45 8
  - me too. I'm always so irritated when they're played on my 2 XM/Sirius channels that I listen to most. - Callisto Mar 15, 12:55 7
    - Hmm. The XM stations I hear them on they seem rather built for. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:57 1
      - They fit fine on Alt Nation, I guess. I just don't want to hear them. -- nm - Callisto Mar 15, 12:59
    - I just don't understand the fandom for them. I guess we are that starved for rock. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 12:56 4
      - I really think that is what it is. Drove six hours over the weekend and listened to a lot of 90's rock. Felt like a lot more depth in good to great.. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 15, 13:06 3
        
        Rock's only had brief periods of supremacy in music. Usually it's pop that wins out by a lot. - Reagen Mar 15, 13:12
        
        Every generation says this. And they always will. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 13:10 1
        
        I guess that's it. The era defines your tastes for the most part. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 15, 13:15
- It sounds like he's saying your sax is on fire. - Inigo Mar 15, 12:44 1
  - *giggles* -- nm - Epiphany Mar 15, 12:55
- I should send you a Biffy Clyro song. I think you'd dig this album *a lot*. -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 15, 12:36
- excellent earworm ... *starts grooving* -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:34 3
  - Only thing that annoys me is that it is so *old*. - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:35 2
    - i know! but it's coming back around again. - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:38 1
      - US is an infinite ear worm for me. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:40

- I don't get a lot of DBacks games on TV, so I'll admit to not having seen Reynolds play much... - TFox Mar 15, 12:38 15
  - [deleted] 5
    - but fluky how? like he might regress to a 35/15? isn't that still buttsex nasty at 3B? -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:41 4
      - He's Rob Deer-ian. -- nm - David Mar 15, 12:53 2
        
        ahem. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:53 1
        
        This is what happens when I multi-task. -- nm - David Mar 15, 12:59
      - [deleted]
  - it's the 220 K's. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:40 8
    - do strikeouts count in willynelson? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:42 1
      - no. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:43
    - not a fantasy stat unless your league sucks. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:40 5
      - no, but if he hits .200 he is Rob Deer-esque. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:43 4
        
        I just don't see it. Deer never stole more than 12 bags, never hit close to .260 in a season (ok, once), and topped out at 33 HRs. - TFox Mar 15, 12:56 3
        
        I agree with you, I love Reynolds, but the strikeouts are seen as a negative - groiny Mar 15, 13:01 2
        
        FYI, I got him in the 4th round of ML's draft yesterday IIRC. NM -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 13:02 1
        
        (Only because I passed on him when I realized I'd own him in every single mixed league I play.) -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 13:02

- Brr, that's cold ;-P -- nm - con_carne Mar 15, 13:10
- thats funny, its 46 and cloudy here. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:32 5
  - I'm currently ecstatic that the temp will be in the upper 30s by the end of the week. - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 12:34
  - I was about to post this. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:32 3

      - Our snow cover is gone. Three weeks ago, it was 18" thick. - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:36
      - it started raining thursday here, stopped sometime late saturday, hasnt reached 50s since last tuesday I think -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:36
- it is decidedly not like that here at the moment. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:30 9

    - I was wondering if you noticed that you went through an entire draft last night, only choosing three legit starting pitchers? -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:33 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        and your SP2, iirc, is Edwin Jackson? - TFox Mar 15, 12:37 1
        
        [deleted]
    - my draft list went ok.... - groiny Mar 15, 12:33 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Words of the jilted. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:37
      - Autodrafts tend to ignore bench pitchers, because Yahoo default ranks tend to leave bats as the highest ranked leftovers. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:33
The new house continues to surprise... - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 12:25 7
- FYI, you are not supposed to use soap in a jacuzzi tub. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:27 3
  - bah, killjoys -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:27 1
    - that would be a $2000 oops. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 15, 12:30
  - That is what hotels are for. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:27
- Cool. You and Shaun are new house buddies! -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:26
- [deleted] 1
  - I thought I heard that somewhere, but it was still fun. - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 12:55
/enters 3 caucasians, 7 Alaska Natives, and 14 African Americans living at this address/ - Dr.Vermin, filling out census Mar 15, 12:24
Census related: I think SheFox would boycott filling out the census over their TV commercials if I let her. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:21 7
- I feel like it should be a throwback to the Bible. By law, you should have to return to your birthplace to be counted and such. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 15, 13:03
- Hmm. Have not seen one. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:25
- As ridiculous as people are being about the census, I don't think getting Ed Begley Jr for the ads was smart. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 12:24 2
  - I'm waiting for FOX News Infopinionheads to start telling people not to fill out the Census. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 12:34 1
    - Beck is close to that point. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 12:40
- the Christopher Guest ones? -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 12:23 1
  - aka the ones that are full of suck? yes. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 12:28
My pie is gone, and I am not full. - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:18
RAW fans...is tonight the Stone Cold guest star episode? -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 15, 12:16 3
- Yes. -- nm - pmb Mar 15, 12:19 2
  - WHAT? -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 15, 12:32 1
    - ok, so my hope would then be - tRuMaN Mar 15, 12:35
prediction game: i arrived at the social security office at 11:50 am, checked in, and got number E538. when will my number be called? - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:13 10
- 3:12:50 -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:14
- Wednesday -- nm - oblique Mar 15, 12:14 8
  - oh! wait one minute! we have a startling development! - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:16 7
    - E334? Uh oh. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 15, 12:28
    - Great! Tuesday, then -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:16 5
      - they just called E536. - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:23 4
        
        But is that to actually help them, or to find out why they're there to assign the correct window? - MojaveMeg Mar 15, 12:37 3
        
        oh, and there are four windows, but i can't see a pattern for assigning numbers to particular windows. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:44 1
        
        Ours were divided by type of business and language. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 15, 12:59
        
        i'm trying to figure that out. - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:42
Two equally funny football reports... - David Mar 15, 12:13 6
- Have any more Ducks been arrested? -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 12:23 2
  - you, me, and redmond should join the team as walk-ons. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:29 1
    - I don't have a record... yet. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 12:54
- And... (hi ML!) - David Mar 15, 12:14 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - It's from Sporting News. Here is a Reuters version. -- (link) - David Mar 15, 12:54
From b2, MojaveMeg, the sooner you return it the better. And znu: the census is just "short form" now. Long form is now an ongoing survey (ACS). -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 15, 12:12 [Backboard] 2
- Yeah, but how can I be sure how many people will be living in my house on that date? :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 15, 12:35
- yeah, I knew that... -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 12:23
The WaPo headline about the rain/flooding on the website, before they changed it. -- (link) - MDH Mar 15, 12:11 2
- I'm sorry, but I don't speak The Rap. - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:14
- how embarassing. We all know the correct spelling is "fo'" -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 12:12
Woman purportedly trying to break record for fattest woman. Not sure I believe it. -- (link) - mara Mar 15, 12:11 2
- fwiw, the exact same story was out a couple of years ago. not sure why it's been reissued. I would link, but no one wants to see the photo w/it.-- nm - b. Mar 15, 12:24
- While beer and lemon donuts are indeed fattening, I doubt amanda is *consciously* trying to beat the record. nm - Dignan Mar 15, 12:15
when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot, hang on, and swing! -- nm - b. Mar 15, 12:11 3
- word. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Mar 15, 12:14
- Meow! -- nm - Hang in there kitty Mar 15, 12:12
- heh. When you get to the end of your rope ... tie a monkey's fist in it and start cracking some skulls. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:11
How do I cancel my Geico insurance? - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 12:10 7
- kill the gecko -- nm - G.waa Mar 15, 12:18
- I believe that's pretty much it. I'd probably call them and advise them you are cancelling as of your end date also - oblique Mar 15, 12:13
- Call them? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 12:13
- Ask them by calling 1-800-861-8380 -- nm - mara Mar 15, 12:12
- those guys love to steal customers from each other, I'm sure you could find out from them -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 12:11 2
