- 2 (maybe higher depending on the condition of the couch before and after) -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 14:40 1
  - Nevermind. I misread. If it's not my couch, then 1 -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 14:41

- If I was insane enough to agree to such a thing? An irrational 2-3, though I'd have no basis for anything but a 1. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:38
so Genesis is going into the RnR HoF - no peter gabriel appearance (he said in jan. he's too busy or something), and no phil collins singing? odd. - b. Mar 15, 14:35 2
- no surprise on Gabriel, he's been very hesitant ever since the re-united back in 82 or 83 for a fundraiser he did... - Remlik Mar 15, 14:38 1
  - I get Peter more than Phil. (heh, there's an ad to the left for Peter's new release, but it has a typo: sratch my back) -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:41
now i'm wondering if Kate/Sam fit any of the blind items in the recent past -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:32
Diva News Network: Pride & Prejudice & Zombies:Dawn of the Dreadfuls trailer - Remlik Mar 15, 14:30 [youtube]
The line for the screening of Canal Street Madam is surprisingly large -- nm - ty97 Mar 15, 14:24
Mary J. Blige, Randy Jackson, Steve Vai and Travis Barker will cover Zep's Stairway to Heaven - Remlik Mar 15, 14:23 4
- I'm actually more interested to hear her on Whole Lotta Love. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:27
- it's news when someone covers that? -- nm - loosilu Mar 15, 14:24 2
  - I thought people would be interested. Granted it's no Blue Sky, but no one besides you knows that song. - Remlik Mar 15, 14:26 1
    - pfffft. - loosilu Mar 15, 14:26
Whew, 80 deg, 'feels like' 83. I may have to start wearing my field hat and carrying water when I take my walk :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 15, 14:23 1
- it was *nice* out -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:23
Glenn Beck on Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" - Remlik Mar 15, 14:19 6
- At least they finally figured out what it means. IIRC Reagan used it at campaign rallies (which Bruce denounced). -- nm - pmb Mar 15, 14:27 1
  - Everything America has ever done is right, pmb. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:32
- it cewrtainly made him quite popular here among the socialdemocrats - Danedukenuuk Mar 15, 14:25

andie's never seen one episode of oprah before today? - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:18 4
- nope. -- nm - Andie Mar 15, 14:34 1
  - (i have, however, seen clips of her guests on other shows. Like Tom Cruise, etc.) -- nm - Andie Mar 15, 14:35
- If you were actually home during the time her show was on, would it really be the one show you tune in to? -- nm - Max Mar 15, 14:33
- Neither have I. -- nm - mara Mar 15, 14:33
anyone else have a shamrock shake for dessert at lunch today? - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:14 8
- don't think I've had one in 20 years. -- nm - loosilu Mar 15, 14:21
- nabisco 100 calorie pack fudge petites cookies. they're ok, but they really mean the petite. -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:18 3
  - i wised up to that scam the first package i ever ate -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:22 2
    - I like some of them quite a bit, this was just remarkably petite. -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:25
    - Eat two! -- nm - loosilu Mar 15, 14:23
- No, but I may make my own tonight. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 14:17 [Backboard]

- And how much jail time? - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 14:21

STIS: I had a phone interview last Tuesday, went for an (in)formal interview on Thursday at 3 pm. Everything went very well and the recruiter had me - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:11 2
- I would wait until tomorrow. - MDH Mar 15, 14:14
- no problem in confirming receipt at all -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:12
So, I'm catching up on Community on OnDemand....this show is funny. - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:10 22
- How has he not died from lack of service?! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 14:34
- Yep. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Mar 15, 14:23
- It's the best ensemble comedy (true ensemble) since Newsradio. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:12 10
  - Plus, Annie is hawt. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:15 9
    - And Britta is a very odd looking woman - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:16 6
      - Yep, she started out the hot one, and ended up secondary to Annie. - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:17 5
        
        *rips off your mask to reveal Abed* -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:18 4
        
        "What's her name, from the Breakfast Club.... you broke me." -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:19
        
        "Why can't he be the white Abed" "Well sure, if you want to be racist." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:19 2
        
        "It's a big world, yeah with 5 billion other women. Good luck." - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:31 1
        
        sidenote: Katherine McPhee was smoking hot in that episode. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:37
    - I'm still about Britta. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:16 1
      - (also, we can;t just write off Professor Slater.) -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:22
- yep -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:12
- their Halloween episode is easily in my top 5 favorite tv episodes of the season. -- nm - Max Mar 15, 14:11
- It's neck and neck with Modern Family as the best new show of the season. - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 14:11 6
  - I stopped after the first 3-4 episodes were so uneven and it changed times - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:14 3
    - ever since they really established all the characters, it's been on fire. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:14 2
      - Abed is awesome. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:15 1
        
        He is, but I think he pretty clearly was going to be from the offset. It's the emergence of Troy, Annie, etc as a comic goldmine that elevates it. IMO -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:17
  - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:12
  - (IMO, of course) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 14:11
Chace Crawford (some CW actor) just tweeted that he is no longer in the running for Captain America -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 14:09 16
- He *should* have been Edward Cullen -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:16 1
  - Yeah - that would have made more sense. Either of the Vampire Diaries brothers could have done it as well - Epiphany Mar 15, 14:20
- the word over on the HSX Board is that Ryan Phillippe is being considered. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 14:12 5
  - I am not opposed to this. -- nm - MDH Mar 15, 14:16
  - I know he was in the running for it, and still may be. Last I read last week that it was Jim's from the Office, role to lose. -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 14:13 3
    - Worst choice ever. -- nm - MDH Mar 15, 14:15
    - The transformation there would have to be somewhat spectacular I think. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 14:15
    - ugh. -- nm - Callisto Mar 15, 14:13
- Mmm...Chace Crawford. - Callisto Mar 15, 14:11 7
  - heh -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:18
  - Cap'n Awesome seems right for this but for whatever reason they keep looking at...guys who aren't too Cap'n America-ey. -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 14:14 5
    - Street from FNL/Caprica is on the list as well for being seriously considered -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 14:20 4
      - Is Street this person's real name or a character name? -- nm - Diva Mar 15, 14:24 3
        
        character name. His real name I believe is Scott Porter. -- nm - Remlik Mar 15, 14:25 2
        
        Pop goes his heart! -- nm - David Mar 15, 14:27
        
        oh and Mel...make her watch Friday Night Lights! - Remlik Mar 15, 14:25
So where's the NIT Pool? -- nm - Dano Mar 15, 14:07 5
- We often do client development events around the NCAA tourney. I thought this year we should do one around the NIT and invite second tier clients. -- nm - pmb Mar 15, 14:30
- Illinois and Illinois State in the same bracket. Rough, man. -- nm - Callisto Mar 15, 14:10
- Im in ur hairz, drinking your blood -- nm - LOLlice Mar 15, 14:09
- [deleted] 1
  - I loved that. The NIT is so weird because so many of the 1 seeds give up after the letdown. -- nm - TFox Mar 15, 14:13
I sold my biggest stock position today for an obscene 14 month gain... guess the stock -- nm - stewie Mar 15, 14:04 27
- C -- nm - znufrii Mar 15, 14:07
- P&G -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 15, 14:07
- apple -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:06 16
  - that was my second guess -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 14:07
  - *ding* -- nm - stewie Mar 15, 14:07 14
    - *wonders if Pixie ever gets tired of always being right?* -- nm - JenBro Mar 15, 14:10 13
      - well, there's my req. for unintentional comedy for the day. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 14:18 4
        
        seriously. -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:19 3
        
        don't hate her because she know's what's what! -- nm - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:20 2
        
        I could never hate her, especially since she's clearly delusional. ;p -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:22 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - JenBro Mar 15, 14:27
      - as much as you might think i would? - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:11 7
        
        I have a friend that is very similar - I cannot ever surprise him with anything. He tells me life can be very boring at times - he gets the movie - JenBro Mar 15, 14:14 6
        
        I'm with him on the plot thing with some frequency, but that doesn't make life boring - just gotta branch out for entertainment. :) - -- nm - b. Mar 15, 14:24
        
        That just means he thinks the same way as everyone else on the planet. How boring. - Beryllium Mar 15, 14:21
        
        are you at least prettier than him? - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:17 3
        
        I dunno ... he's a pretty darn handsome man ... dark hair, dark eyes, long eyelashes ... I could go on but it would get depressing :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 15, 14:26 2
        
        are sure he's not me? - fairway frank Mar 15, 14:31 1
        
        D'oh ... there cannot be two of you surely? - JenBro Mar 15, 14:32
- Avatar! -- nm - JenBro Mar 15, 14:06 1
  - oh ... you mean REAL stock ... never mind! - JenBro Mar 15, 14:06
- Ford -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:05 4
  - heh... not that obscene -- nm - stewie Mar 15, 14:07 3
    - I should have bought it when it was at $2. I could have - and should have. - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:08 2
      - back at the bottom every piece of news was that the world was ending - stewie Mar 15, 14:12 1
        
        crap - why do I never listen - buy low, sell high -- nm - Epiphany Mar 15, 14:18
- sony! :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 14:05
*pets his Josh Johnson* - groiny Mar 15, 14:01 3
- He's going to be in the mix. - Will Hunting Mar 15, 14:10 1

VA's AG is delivering the crazy yet again "SS #s are used to track you" and "It's possible to challenge Obama's birth certificate" -- (link) - MDH Mar 15, 14:00 1
- Vag's are always crazy. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 15, 14:03

Who's on first? -- nm - Lou Costello Mar 15, 13:58 4
- Who. -- nm - Ender Mar 15, 13:59 2
  - on first...who's on first -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 15, 14:00 1
    - what's on second, I don't know's on third -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 14:00
- Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 13:59
