- without looking, i'd say yes, she has the right. it was a gift. -- nm - kare May 10, 17:30 10
  - the only issue with that is this. It's a gift if she says yes. If she says no he doesn't give it to her most likely. -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 10, 17:33 5
    - "no? well... oh hell, here, have it anyway." -- nm - kare May 10, 17:36 4
      - every single time this has happened, the guy has headed directly for the nearest bridge to leap off. :) -- nm - TFox May 10, 17:37
      - I could see a guy doing that too. He's like totally crushed and dosen't want to even look at it. -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 10, 17:36 2

      - agreeance right back atcha -- nm - kare May 10, 17:35
  - That was my first thought, too. -- nm - mara May 10, 17:30

        I love that he's doing a movie with Paul Walker. Every struggling actor in LA should picket that one. -- nm - David May 10, 17:28 3
        
        As Dano called it, "the anti-Heat" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 17:29 2

My XP machine keeps playing dead. When I hit the power button sometimes it doesn't start, but sounds much like a car trying to turn over in cranking. - Qale May 10, 17:10 3
- I'm thinking air supply. - mafic May 10, 17:18 2

  - thanks. he really is very handsome but I think his plant makes him look more so. -- nm - workmanda May 10, 17:02 1
    - indeed. he is well accessorized. -- nm - mafic May 10, 17:04

Even as half-baked as Shrek 3 was, I actually am looking forward to a 4th. -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:39 10
- the Pinocchio stuff kills me. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:45
- Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be so good they'll want to do a sequel of it, (last shrek? don't believe it) -- nm - zeitgeist May 10, 16:42
- heh, this was another of the trailers, I actually laughed out loud at a couple spots. - Stephen May 10, 16:41 7
  - I didn't even chuckle at the trailer. It looks *horrible* -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 17:09 1
    - In other words, it's staying true to the franchise -- nm - con_carne May 10, 17:11
  - I only laugh at fat Puss in the trailer. I don't think I'll be seeing it in 3D or anything, but why not another go around on the Shrek spoof carouse. -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:44 4
    - Logically, wouldn't fat Puss be funnier in 3D? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:44 3
      - I cannot afford to fatten Hollywood purses with every 3D flick they want to throw at me. -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:46 2
        
        but at least this one could be done in legitimate 3D, not faux crap -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:47 1
        
        True. I do believe this one along with Despicable Me is in legit 3D. -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:49

  - From his wikipedia page: - David May 10, 17:04 1
    - ah. so he was such a choade, he created a rule. i'm cool with that. -- nm - TFox May 10, 17:06
- Wait. He's still elligible, but they're re-voting? That's pretty BS if you ask me. - musubi May 10, 16:41
- if he tested positive in September, how is this all coming out now? why wasn't he suspended at the time?? - sherlock homie May 10, 16:40
Also, after finally seeing the trailer for Prince of Persia, I don't think Jake looks nearly as "gay" as everyone has been saying he does... - Stephen May 10, 16:37 7
- Some of the early production pics were of him shirtless. And of course, because he also has long hair, stubble and strange clothes, - con_carne May 10, 16:41 2
  - There was that whole Cowboy thing. (Not to mention Bubble Boy.) -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:42 1
    - You know, I never made that connection. :) -- nm - con_carne May 10, 16:44
- He looks out of place, but I'm looking forward to the flick hopeful it can be something like Pirates. -- nm - Qale May 10, 16:41
- i don't know about gay but he looks as Persian as my left nut -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:38
- I think it looks kind of fun, really. -- nm - Callisto May 10, 16:38 1
  - Yup. (spoilerish question about the movie/game) - Stephen May 10, 16:44
Stephen your facebook friend is a movie spoiler! -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 10, 16:27 7

  - aren't you dead? -- nm - Admiral Kirk May 10, 16:46 1
    - Because knowing Spawn is a no win scenario? -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 10, 17:18
- Technically he's only a after the credits roll bonus footage spoiler! -- nm - Iron Man May 10, 16:30 3
  - In this day and age it's almost my own fault for not seeing any movie on the midnight show. - Redmond of Persia May 10, 16:33 2
    - cause really, the subtleties and nuances of the Iron Man 2 viewing experience are totally ruined if you know about the post-credit scene -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:43 1
      - Spoilers - Redmond of Persia May 10, 17:03
Besides getting my Jeep stuck on the beach, it was a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. - CQ May 10, 16:26

    - I loved that game! -- nm - Krusty May 10, 16:38
    - This reminds me that Dodgeball has probably been updated for iPad or DS or XBox Live or something. -- nm - David May 10, 16:29 4
      - definitely on the DS -- nm - TFox May 10, 16:33
      - That was another good one. Stupid Chinese kids. - Reagen May 10, 16:31 1
        
        I'm really looking forward to seeing how games play on the iPad. -- nm - David May 10, 16:33
      - Hmm, now I wonder about River City Ransom. -- nm - David May 10, 16:29
Ketchup is only technically food. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:23 5
- australians call it tomato sauce, I find it confusing, because what I'd call tomato sauce, so do they. ketchup is just like a sweet end member. -- nm - mafic May 10, 16:56 2
  - Italian-Americans call spaghetti sauce "gravy." -- nm - mara May 10, 17:34 1
    - yep, and it's weird as shit. grew up around it all my life, and i still can't get used to the term. -- nm - TFox May 10, 17:36
- alternatively, food is merely a ketchup conveyance. - Beryllium May 10, 16:24 1
  - Ketchup is a perfect condiment.....for 5 year olds. - musubi May 10, 16:26
Mooooooooom, Andie yelled at me. (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:20

  - do you need advice re the IM? -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:36 2
    - well, yeah. what's the right temperature for a fridge so that carrots stay nice and cold but don't freeze? - workmanda May 10, 16:45 1
      - does the little thermometer dial have a "carrots" setting? -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 16:49
  - sued? huh? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:35
I checked the office fridge: ketchup - net weight (ounces and grams). Mayo - volume (fluid ounces and millileters). -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 10, 16:19 4
- I wonder if it is indeed due to the classification as a vegetable ... :) -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:20
- the plot thickens. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:19 2
  - this ... this counts as a pun, right? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:20 1
    - I'll take that as a condiment. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:20
what is the density of ketchup?? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:17 19
- (1.4 g/ml) -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:29 2
  - source? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:30 1
    - google "ketchup density" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 16:31
- And you call yourself a scientist? For shame. For shame. (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:19 15
  - besides, if they have a different recipe in Canada, the density may not match. - loosilu May 10, 16:20 14
    - Does everyone one know their favorite brand's density? I mean really. (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:21 7
      - I could work it out! just need ... a new bottle of ketchup. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:22 2
        
        Did you just put on sunglasses when you said that? (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:23
        
        sorry, I seem to have displaced my last bottle ... -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:23
      - Er, "Doesn't everyone...." (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:22 3
        
        Doncha hate it when you correct a typo, only to notice a second typo? Eff me. (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:23 2
        
        you made another typo. - loosilu May 10, 16:23 1
        
        Like I said, this is why I usually don't bother correcting 'em. (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:25
    - I thinkthe only difference is the sugar they use. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:21 5
      - fwiw, I find that store-bought Heinz and in-restaurant Heinz tastes different here. I don't know why. - Beryllium May 10, 16:22 3
        
        I'm betting the restaurant stuff is the bulk generic brand poured into heinz bottles. -- nm - mafic May 10, 17:20
        
        my nephew did a cross Canada country trek and loves the stuff, brought some back & now my whole family loves it. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:33 1
        
        I think y'all are just gonna have to move up here -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:35
      - exactly, and sugar affects density. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:22
Here's the litmus test: Was the tax collector a nigerian prince? (nm) - musubi May 10, 16:17
