- That whole link to things you like/your interests etc sucks. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 3, 06:29 1

i didn't find a minute of tonight's Pacific boring - black dynamite May 2, 23:42
My original nickname is not based on this movie, but nonetheless, I am exteremly interested in it (despite only learning about it ten seconds ago) -- (link) - Beryllium May 2, 23:29 2
- What about this? -- (link) - psilotum May 2, 23:47 [youtube]
- in turn, it is based on this book that I also had not heard of -- (link) - Beryllium May 2, 23:30
What...does..a...yellow...light...mean? -- (link) - amoxy May 2, 22:50 [youtube] 2

PLP, did you see my pics of the original Walt Disney studio? -- (link) - MojaveMeg May 2, 22:15 [flickr] 1
- thanks, and that's typical of corporate thinking :) -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:25
Slopping scripting in the opening to Desperate Housewives tonight. They just tied up a bunch of lose ends in the opening narration. -- nm - Mop May 2, 21:55 1

I saw the Marmaduke trailer before "Dragons" today, and I think I actually seethed in anger. -- nm - Mop May 2, 21:53 1
- that's so unlike you -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 21:55
So when I was walking by Keyes Mercedes today (on Van Nuys) the owner of Keyes was there showing off his brand new Lambo to the dealers. - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 21:50 13
- only practical reason i can think of is what the italians police do - moving donor organs around as fast as possible by road -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 3, 05:06
- when I lived in Vancouver and commuted across one of the bridges I'd see a guy in a Diablo almost every day. he never looked upset to be stuck there. -- nm - mafic May 2, 22:10
- Yeah, we have a traditional SoCal 'dip' in the road outside our place. People scrape on that around the clock :) - MojaveMeg May 2, 22:03 1
  - Yup, a dip like that would just kill the front end on the Lambo. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:04
- aren't they just west of the 101? if so, he had to pull out at 10 mph. you're right, the traffic sucks there -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 21:54 4
  - Van Nuys blvd is pretty empty and wide, for about 2 blocks. And then you hit traffic. And there are cops around there usually. Yeah, not a very fun - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:02 3
    - there used to be a good cheesesteak place further west on the same block as Ken Cranes -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:06 2
      - *shrug* All I know is the car dealerships around there. :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:07 1
        
        there is a good Greek place at Reseda & Victory. they are the old fire station on the SE corner -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:27
- It's a toy, for show. He may never drive it again after he puts it in the garage. -- nm - Mop May 2, 21:53
- plus the monthly payments are like $5,000 -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 21:52 2
  - I've heard that few are ever financed, most are purchased with a check or wire transfer -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 22:50
  - You should see the new Keyes Lexus dealership. That place is insanely nice. Probably makes huge money. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 22:03
Hollywood Reporter was surprisingly harsh on Conan for his 60 Minutes interview. -- (link) - Mop May 2, 21:39 9
- They seem to have taken everything he said much more seriously than I did at the time. And then the mere act of writing it down masks the irony. -- nm - Ender May 3, 06:28
- I think they're grossly overestimating the intelligence of 60 minutes viewers. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 22:13 6
  - ugh. -- nm - b! May 2, 22:15 5
    - would it help if I changed it to "average" intelligence of 60 Minutes viewers? -- nm - loosilu May 2, 22:33
    - *hands you an Andy Rooney drool rag* - black dynamite May 2, 22:20 3
      - I totally dismissed him of having any opinion I could appreaciate after his Cobain commentary. -- nm - Remlik May 2, 23:00
      - Hey, be nice. there are not too many WW II vets still on tv :) -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 22:50
      - I don't want to touch andy's drool, but thanks. -- nm - b! May 2, 22:21
- that's 95% crap. ugh. - b! May 2, 22:10
Can you please have a seat? When isn't old episodes of To Catch A Predator NOT on MSNBC at night? -- nm - Qale May 2, 21:36
Blind Side = solid A, wow. -- nm - CrankYanker May 2, 21:24
I... just... Charisma Carpenter... wha? no words. -- (link) - Reagen May 2, 21:23 [youtube] 18
- I give her bonus points for not holding back any. I give her tears for her participation. -- nm - David May 3, 06:27
- um, wow. -- nm - Andie May 3, 05:45
- I thought for sure that "puppies" was refering to her boobs. I've never been so wrongly misguided. -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 23:11
- didn't she used to have a job? -- nm - loosilu May 2, 21:53 2
  - I believe Veronica Mars was her last steady gig -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 21:55 1
    - she's Stathams girlfriend in the Expendables. -- nm - Remlik May 2, 22:06
- Hey, it's a paycheck. She doesn't have to do Playboy for another month. -- nm - Mop May 2, 21:48
- *doggy head tilt* -- nm - b! May 2, 21:42 2
  - *tosses you a pupperoni* -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 21:43 1
    - *spits it out and tries to bury* only organic for me, woof. -- nm - b! May 2, 21:52
- i don't know why but i was expecting her to actually be Claudia Christian -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 21:36 4
  - no...that would be here... -- (link) - Remlik May 2, 22:05 [youtube] 3
    - I have been diminished as an individual by suffering through this atrocity. - David May 3, 06:32
    - you would know about this, nerdlinger -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 22:10 1
      - it's called customer reasearch. Gotta talk to the customers. -- nm - Remlik May 2, 22:13
- *mind explosion* -- nm - Tim May 2, 21:33
- Guh? nm - ralph wiggum May 2, 21:32
- The Sir Mix-a-lot video in the suggested links isn't much less insane. -- nm - TFox May 2, 21:28
Carmax is pretty awesome. They are willing to buy my mom's car for only 13% below what they will sell it for. Regular dealers lowball the number so - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 21:14
I am the only person in my household who isn't vomiting. This has been a difficult day for my family. -- nm - Fuzzy May 2, 20:58 5
- ugh. I'd be wearing a mask and rubber gloves if I were you. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 21:01 1
  - or if you weren't him -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 22:20
- So you should look forward to, oh, say, Tuesday? -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 21:00 1
  - Fuzzy's gonna take an early lead in the Biggest Loser. - Mop May 2, 21:22
- eep. hope everyone gets well soon, and that you don't join the crowd! -- nm - b! May 2, 20:59
It's been another fun filled computer day. - Qale May 2, 20:57 2
- Xmarks.com!!! -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 21:01 1
  - I could have avoided it if I'd been thinking more clearly as well. -- nm - Qale May 2, 21:08
Our Tivo is 100% caught up. I'm scared. -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 20:45 1
- time to load it back up, then ! -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! May 2, 21:13
I used to drink Vernor's. It was mighty tasty. -- nm - Diva May 2, 20:35 2
- This belongs in the peppery ginger ale sub-thread. -- nm - Diva May 2, 20:35 1
  - the Vernor's i remember was not peppery - black dynamite May 2, 20:42
I watched the entire season so far of Modern Family in 4 days. good stuff -- nm - Hotkiss May 2, 20:30
Speaking of blood: True Blood S1 Disc 1 shipping for Monday. -- nm - nubby May 2, 20:27 1
- S2 is better, but I guess you got to muddle through S1 to get to it. -- nm - Qale May 2, 20:57
Hmm, I've got a blood draw in the morning and nobody's told me to fast before - I probably should :/ - MojaveMeg May 2, 20:22 20
- Tequila isn't a food . :) -- nm - H-Mogul May 2, 21:40
- I think the important one is the fasting blood sugar test, where they take one tube, have you drink some sugary goo, then do another in an hour -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 20:41 14
  - I guess that's never been a concern. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 2, 20:43 1
    - it's done to test for diabetes or insulin resistance. maybe other stuff as well. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 20:44
  - you fast for regular blood sugar testing, too. -- nm - b! May 2, 20:42 11
    - What do you know about medical tests??? -- nm - nubby May 2, 20:45
    - hmmm. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 20:43 9
      - nm but: -- (link) - b! May 2, 20:47 8
        
        From what I hear, it is cheaper to run the whole panel test than to pick and choice tests. The whole panel is now pretty much all automated versus - James Bond (aka Igor) May 2, 21:13 2
        
        so sad. I once knew how to do blood counts. I could make a perfect smear. - loosilu May 2, 21:55
        
        that matches what I've noticed for myself in recent years. - b! May 2, 21:38
        
        makes sense. normally they don't write it on the lab order, but I fast anyway. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 20:51 4
        
        odd. I've been given the instructions for it multiple times since I was a kidlet. -- nm - b! May 2, 20:53 3
        
        yep, just checked the order for my next test. Metabolic panel, doesn't say fasting. - loosilu May 2, 20:59 2
        
        I don't think I had to for that, either. - b! May 2, 21:03 1
        
        I get basic. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 21:54
- depends if they're doing cholesterol. I think the techs ask that by default. They always ask even though I only get cholesterol done 1/2 the time. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 20:33 2
  - Yep, this is my oncology appt so I don't think it includes cholesterol and stuff. She ordered a liver panel in the past, and seemed a little put out - MojaveMeg May 2, 20:40 1
    - I get a metabolic panel twice a year, with lipid panel once a year. fun fun. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 20:42
- Depending on what they're testing for, I think. -- nm - nubby May 2, 20:29
I could live with how the Cold Case 2 parter ties up the series (it's currently on the bubble) but I hope it gets renewed it would be (spoilers) - H-Mogul May 2, 20:16
post it like you plagarized it -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 20:14
I have now had 2 of the 3 new Mountain Dew flavors and I'd be ok with either of them getting added. - Stephen May 2, 20:02 6
- I haven't seen any of them for sale here :( -- nm - Beryllium May 2, 20:49 1
  - because of the caffeine and canada's weird soda laws, they have to market them as an energy drink, so they probably won't bother. -- nm - mafic May 2, 21:12
- It's the best one. I *think* it's got a hint of grapefruit, so it takes the sweet away and makes it somewhat tart. It's my favorite of the 3. - JaxSean May 2, 20:43 1
  - I tried the punch one. It was disgusting. -- nm - TFox May 2, 21:17
- wait ... isn't that the one that's lemon lime though? -- nm - JenBro May 2, 20:03 1
  - Nope, the lemon lime one is called Distortion -- nm - Stephen May 2, 20:24
Iron Chef Spoilers - JenBro May 2, 20:02 3
- there is a reason he is a legend, and do give a strong/peppery ginger ale a try sometime. huge difference -- nm - peglegpete May 2, 20:05 2
  - I love to make my own, take an inch or so ginger and grate to a much, pour a tall glass of tonic and a squeeze of lime, oh so refreshing - zeitgeist May 2, 20:16
  - a huge, awful difference -- nm - black dynamite May 2, 20:10
