- C+ -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:30
- Did you like the Hangover? Were you particularly amused by the extremely raunchy bits? -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:30 5
  - I liked the Hangover. didn't find the extra raunchy more funny than the rest. -- nm - Andie May 19, 13:31 4
    - OK, so that nails down one aspect. Did you like the Hot Shots movies? -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:32 3
      - have i seen a Hot Shot movie? (wait, is that the Andy Samberg thing? didn;t like it at all.) -- nm - Andie May 19, 13:33 2
        
        no, the Charlie Sheen movies -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:33 1

- I've carried it in my front ever since as a kid visiting Manhattan, a NYer tapped me on the shoulder and said "Here we carry our wallets in the front" -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:30 4
  - My father told me that when I was a teenager. Carry it in the front pocket so you don't get pickpocketed. - Krusty May 19, 13:37

    - actually, I could have been pickpocketed and not have noticed -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:33
- I believe it. I have a Costanza wallet and actually it's like there's a permanent bruise on my butt where the wallet sits. -- nm - pmb May 19, 13:29

- oh no. nm -- nm - groiny May 19, 13:25 1
  - you know it's hard to pretend. -- nm - b. May 19, 13:26
ok thats crappy scienceTV "the sun is source of all life on earth....." -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:19 14
- You think there'd be life without the sun? Seriously? -- nm - mara May 19, 13:28 9
  - technical term is Chemosynthesis - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:33
  - Would there be life without the Earth? - TWuG May 19, 13:30 7
    - Would there be an Earth without the Sun? -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:31 6
      - no probably not but yet to be determind - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:34
      - Possibly. -- nm - TWuG May 19, 13:32 1
        
        Based on current theories of stellar formation ... it doesn't seem likely. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:33
      - *ding* -- nm - Nightcrawler May 19, 13:31
      - no because we'd be living on Raisa or something if we orbited a different star -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:31 1
        
        Vega -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:36

- Poor guy. -- nm - Don Homer May 19, 13:27
- at a certain point those numbers become pretty meaningless in a practical sense. - Reagen May 19, 13:27 1
  - The other thing is that $2.5 billion properly invested over six years could make up a lot of the difference. -- nm - David May 19, 13:33
- hindsight is 20-20 -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:21

  - you mean the one he had seen at Rank Xerox? - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:24 3
    - yeah, Xerox's decision to dump it was rank -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:24 2
      - the process is always more interesting then the invention itself - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:26 1

- AL - David Price NL - Halladay -- nm - groiny May 19, 13:23 12
  - Halladay over a dude with a 1.12 ERA and a no-hitter and a better record? -- nm - Will Hunting May 19, 13:25 6
    - it is close, Halladay gets the reputation vote. nm -- nm - groiny May 19, 13:25 5
      - I don't even think it's close. - Will Hunting May 19, 13:27 4
        
        Philly best team, Halladay best pitcher on best team. - groiny May 19, 13:36 3
        
        How'd that work for Greinke last year? Oh yeah....he won, rather easily. - Will Hunting May 19, 13:37

        I realized that after I posted. I was going with who I thought would win at the end of the season. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 13:38
  - Same picks for me. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 13:24 4
    - Halladay can't even beat the Pirates, boys. -- nm - David May 19, 13:25 3
      - he beat 6 teams. - groiny May 19, 13:26 2
        
        But not the Pirates! -- nm - David May 19, 13:33

    - Most wins and ridiculous ERA = winner. -- nm - Will Hunting May 19, 13:27
- Greinke will win with a 2.30 ERA and a 3-22 record. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:19 4
  - at this rate, winning 3 might be a stretch. though 22 losses is probably a bit much - tRuMaN May 19, 13:26

    - #4 on your depth chart, but #1 in your ass. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:23
just arrived from amazon: "Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook. Strategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking" - crash davis May 19, 13:17
dang pixie, now I wish I'd begun a systematic study years ago - (though I think I could throw down with Rachel Ray right now) -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:08 5
- You mean, you think you can do better than cheese wizz on a Ritz cracker with a basil leaf on top? -- nm - Roger More May 19, 13:25 4
  - it sounds arrogant of me, but yeah - just a tad -- nm - crash davis May 19, 13:26 3
    - I think you could, of course I think Spawn could cook better than her. -- nm - Remlik May 19, 13:29 2
      - NO WHITE FOOD, YOU DONKEY! -- nm - Chef Spawn May 19, 13:32 1

Divorcees Question: my friend says she just spoke with her ex-husband (of 1.5 years) and he's introducing his new girlfriend to their kids today. She - JaxSean May 19, 13:07 39
- My mother gave me veto power over anyone she dated. My dad did not. - Nightcrawler May 19, 13:26
- For me, if Meg brought a woman home to meet the kids, it'd be way more column B than column A. - Inigo May 19, 13:23
- It's not an easy thing. It is the realization that there is going to be another person that you have to share your role with (even if it's really not - pmb May 19, 13:20 6
  - ( I just got a text from her, and apparently it *is* a little bit of both: he's in a happy relationship, plus worried about/for her kids.) -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 13:24
  - Interesting; she was upset even though she was engaged? -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 13:23 4
    - Very much so. - pmb May 19, 13:28 3
      - Very interesting. Thanks. (And that sucks.) - JaxSean May 19, 13:32
      - A lot of it is that you never know how a person will react in a crisis situation until they're in it. Your remarrying was that for her. - David May 19, 13:31 1
        
        I think this is essentially right. - pmb May 19, 13:51
- what if the new girlfriend doesn't force the kids to eat a vegetarian diet? -- nm - dogbert May 19, 13:20
- For me it would be an issue of how can I as a parent protect them from this person. - Fuzzy May 19, 13:17
- The kids will be asked to view her in the mother role, meaning she'll have a say in how they are raised, etc. - TWuG May 19, 13:10 12
  - Hmm. I guess I just don't get it. It's "dad's girlfriend." It's not "new Mom." -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 13:12 11
    - Depending on the kids' ages, that's not a distinction they're likely to really understand. - Dr.Vermin May 19, 13:17
    - it's a woman with their dad and someone with whom they will be spending a significant amount of time, most likely. - b. May 19, 13:16
    - not yet - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:15
    - even if it's not at that point, it's not unreasonable to assume it's headed in that direction... -- nm - znufrii May 19, 13:14
    - Not every 5 yr old is going to grasp that immediately. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:13 6
      - I see. I guess it's how they deliver the news. -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 13:14 5
        
        I'll be honest, picturing it happening to me to answer the question is almost enough for me to puke on my own balls and then punch 14 people. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:16 4
        
        well, it *is* wednesday -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:18

        Hey, I had no warning that someone was going to turn Glee on. Had I prepared myself, I could have reacted better. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:18 1
        
        *golf clap* -- nm - Fuzzy May 19, 13:28
- I'd be upset too. She's certainly going to be a new mother figure to the kids. - Dr.Vermin May 19, 13:09
- he is moving forward she is perhaps not -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:08
- it's almost certainly the Mom thing. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 13:08 3
  - see, i'd say its almost certainly not the Mom thing (i.e. getting replaced) and far more certainly the Mom thing (i.e. worrying about her kids). -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:09 2
    - I would say it is a bit of both. nm -- nm - groiny May 19, 13:14
    - not so much getting replaced, as her role being diminished by the introduction of another adult authority figure into the equation. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 13:11
- Never been through it as the divorcee, but as the kid, it's a big deal. How old are the kids? -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:08 3
  - I think 5 and 8~ish? My parents got divorced when I was 8, and my (now) step-dad moved in soon afterr. - JaxSean May 19, 13:10 2
    - Even if it wasn't a big deal to you, it would still probably be a big deal to the people worrying about you, I'd think. -- nm - TFox May 19, 13:12 1
      - this post makes no sence - Danedukenuuk May 19, 13:17
- A little of column A and a little of column B. I can see that being a big deal. -- nm - David May 19, 13:08 4
  - She knew he had a girlfriend, and she's met her before and that's she's nice. -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 13:11 3
    - That right there goes a long way. She needs to chill a bit. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 19, 13:36
    - i'm sure it's a lot of things - this woman will be spending time with her children and Mom can't know how that will go. - Andie May 19, 13:16
    - Knowing he has a girlfriend and knowing it's serious are different things. -- nm - David May 19, 13:15
