I want to see transporter 3, but I would have to drive 30 mins to see it, and that just doesnt seem worth it. -- nm - truman Nov 28, 10:02 7

- Unless you get a gaming system that you want that is also a Blu Ray player, I don't see the point. -- nm - Dano Nov 28, 09:47 6
  - true, I might get myself a ps3 next year, so I dont need to get a regular player, good point. -- nm - truman Nov 28, 09:50 5

    - You're wearing that dress even if you have to go out with your dad. -- nm - Amy Nov 28, 09:47 5

  - Oh yeah, I figured we'd have to go with the dog. (My parents have done obedience training with their dogs and it has seemed to work well.) -- nm - kelly Nov 28, 10:00
  - Oh, and hit the library. Carol Lea Benjamin, Brian Kilcommons, and Ian Dunbar are highly recommended. -- nm - Amy Nov 28, 09:15 1
    - I love Brian Kilcommons. -- nm - mara Nov 28, 09:19
- i think it's good for both dogs and their owners. you learn what works, new techniques, and it will help establish boundaries. good luck! -- nm - El Fandie Nov 28, 08:55

I don't think there anything inherently unworkable about a coalition government, but what's funny to me is who's brokering it. - Reagen Nov 28, 08:46 6
- If they did get their shit together and form a coalition majority ... that would be hilarious. - Beryllium Nov 28, 08:48 5
  - heh, I can see the steam coming from Harper's ears now :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 08:49

    - The opposition parties will blink....they will oppose it but when the vote comes up, there will not be enough opposition members.... - Walt_Disney Nov 28, 08:58
    - Now that talks are underway the 3 may do it just to get rid of Harper. Steve never should have let it get this far along IMO, serious mistake... -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 08:50 1
      - I think he's gambling that it would only be a couple months back on the opposition bench and by March he'd have a majority. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 28, 09:03

  - NanoSale. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 28, 08:47
- That's huge. For Apple. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 28, 08:44 4
  - They don't need big sales to sell iPods I guess... - Guigue Nov 28, 08:49
  - That's like saying "OMG, Amy Winehouse went a day without coke. It's huge ... for her." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 08:45
  - I hate them so. -- nm - David Nov 28, 08:45 1
    - If their customers didn't pay extra for nothing they wouldn't charge extra for nothing - Stewie Nov 28, 09:03
Zork, more on Datura. This potsherd was in the collection I used for my thesis. It's from a small pot, and depicts the fruit of the Datura. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Nov 28, 08:43 [flickr] 1
