I need to do a better job of focusing on one thing. I see six things I'm fascinated in and and I try to learn them all at once. It's poor strategy. -- nm - David, hero of turkeys Nov 26, 13:31 13
- I do that too alot. Jack of all trades, master of none. -- nm - Loyola Nov 26, 13:35

        He was just another victim, in no way memorable other than for his fake bravado. -- nm - David, hero of turkeys Nov 26, 13:40 6
        
        ::out of curiosity, checks how our teams did this past week... as suspected:: - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 26, 13:43 5
        
        3 out of 12...figures you'd brag about 25% success, Mr. Francoeur. -- nm - David, hero of turkeys Nov 26, 13:44 4
        
        2 out of 3. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 26, 13:49 3
        
        Math test: pick the larger number between 1446 and 1316. I mean, it's not like you're Reagen or anything. -- nm - David, hero of turkeys Nov 26, 13:51 2

      - *nods* At least an extra pair of undies. (The intervention reply cracked me up, BTW.) -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:34
    - This started out as such a small, casual, non-event type of thing, I hate to make a big deal out of it. I really want to do both, though. :-) -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:32 6
      - I'm surprised noone has suggested you do the "Naked Man". - musubi Nov 26, 13:42 3
        
        not if other people are going to be there, obvie... -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 13:43 2

        NIKE? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 26, 13:35
Oh, one more wine question -- price range? We're just humble librarians, remember. -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:29 1
- the 2008 beaujolais shouldn't be more than $15, though it's a couple ticks more expensive than previuos years. -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 13:30
I AM NOT CIRCUMCISED! - Mop Nov 26, 13:29 21

  - I avoided that process. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:32 3
    - Well, if your mom was just cut open to unleash you the least you could do was take a snip. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 26, 13:34 1
      - No can do, buddy. I'm a professional avoider. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:35
    - Me too. Couldn't be bothered I guess :) -- nm - Loyola Nov 26, 13:34
- okay. -- nm - znufrii Nov 26, 13:30
- this is definitely more than I needed to know. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 13:30 11
  - My apologies. I could certainly have been more tactful. - Mop Nov 26, 13:32 10
    - The prevailing theory is that infants (esp. newborns) are like goldfish. They don't yet have the capacity to form and index memories. However, - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:34 7
      - i wouldn't do it if i had a son. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 26, 13:42
      - Watch a baby cry after it's done to him. Tell me that doesn't matter. - Mop Nov 26, 13:36 2
        
        Logan had quit cry in the time it took him to get back to our room. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 26, 13:40
        
        I was stating a medically accepted "fact". You'll note that my position came out against it. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:38
      - Not being able to remember it is a pretty lame excuse for causing pain, IMO. -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:35 2
        
        and the theory is pretty much bullshit. - znufrii Nov 26, 13:39

  - haven't the foggiest. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 13:30 4
    - It's a quote from Gigli, for starters, but what it refers to transcends that. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:32 3
      - You mean the circumstances in which the line was uttered? The action, I guess I mean. -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:33 2
        
        Yes. I'll have you know, though, that I totally misread "circumstances" and merged it with the above conversation. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 26, 13:36 1
        
        Understandable. -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:38
  - I recognized it immediately, and I've never seen the movie. -- nm - mara Nov 26, 13:29
