Crap. Just got my student evaluations. - nubby May 20, 08:15 6
- ST Poll: What do they say? -- nm - Mel Profit May 20, 08:19
- Senior year my school switched to computerized evals. Before that, I would write lists and draw graphs and diagrams for my professors -- nm - Hotkiss May 20, 08:19
- Is there anything that would be a surprise? "A" students - he's great........."F" students - he sucks. -- nm - CrankYanker May 20, 08:18
- They're not personal ad replies, nubby -- nm - oblique May 20, 08:18
- I'd laugh as I collected my paycheck -- nm - budice May 20, 08:16
- Okay, Mr. "I don't give A's" - It's my turn. -- nm - Student May 20, 08:16
This bugs me a little more than it should but if you' -- nm - the liioulu with mail May 20, 08:09 2
- re a tourist it's sightseeing. - the liioulu with mail May 20, 08:10 1
  - and a sight inspector would be an eye doctor. -- nm - CrankYanker May 20, 08:15
znu's post makes me wonder "has anyone been fired for an inappropriate out of office message?" -- nm - CrankYanker May 20, 08:07 2
- googling only came up with this - funny -- (link) - CrankYanker May 20, 08:13
- Here? Probably not. In all of history? There's a good chance. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 08:11
Hee hee -- (link) - the liioulu with mail May 20, 08:05 1
- But.... - the liioulu with mail May 20, 08:07
Who do you root for with Deadliest Warrior's episode of Waffen SS against the VC. - Mel Profit May 20, 08:04 4
- The VC. They were just playing defence. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 08:06 3
  - Good point. -- nm - Mel Profit May 20, 08:09 2
    - yeah, although it's hard to back someone who uses pooped up punji sticks, plus I'd rather wear Hugo Boss -- nm - zork May 20, 08:12 1
      - they were immortally evil fuckers but the Waffen SS knew how to put a wardrobe together. -- nm - Mel Profit May 20, 08:18
SATC2 ads just make me want to go shopping. Very dangerous. -- nm - Andie May 20, 08:02 6
- The whole desert business makes me think the series has jumped shark -- nm - budice May 20, 08:17 1
  - The guest star is the jump the shark moment - Will Hunting May 20, 08:19
- Ads. Very dangerous. You swipe your card first. -- nm - Sallah May 20, 08:05 1
  - [deleted]
- The gay inhale is so audible every time this trailer comes on at a movie. - MDH May 20, 08:04
- The search is on for cute boots! -- nm - nubby May 20, 08:04
Does anybody here do Foursquare? Opinions? -- nm - nubby May 20, 07:58 20
- Unrelated: I've been using this free GPS app. Very very cool (also supports Foursquare) in that it's data is all user generated -- (link) - oblique May 20, 08:08
- I don't see what the point would be for me, but then I never go anywhere. -- nm - Dano May 20, 08:04 1
  - It kind of encourages me to get out more. Pathetic, really. -- nm - mara May 20, 08:07
- Only when I can find the right court, 3 other people and a big bouncy ball. -- nm - the liioulu with mail May 20, 08:01 1
  - *likes* -- nm - znufrii May 20, 08:01
- ugh please don't -- (link) - Hotkiss May 20, 08:00 12
  - Like anything, you don't have to share the information with the world, just people you choose to friend -- nm - oblique May 20, 08:04
  - This is kind of bullshit. When I check in, it doesn't "tell everyone in my network" (well, depending on how you define "network"). -- nm - mara May 20, 08:03 6
    - Maybe because of how you have it set up? I am sure I get updates daily from college buddies who are apparently buying a burrito in Albequerque. -- nm - TFox May 20, 08:07 5
      - Gosh, maybe that's it!!! Yes, of course it's because of how I have it set up. My point is, articles love to say that something works a certain way - mara May 20, 08:09 4
        
        or else in practice the majority of users do not use the settings you describe, so its an accurate depiction of how it is used. -- nm - TFox May 20, 08:11 3
        
        It's not accurate if they imply it always happens when in fact it doesn't. -- nm - mara May 20, 08:12 2
        
        but it does always happen until you lock it down if that's what the default is -- nm - zork May 20, 08:18
        
        Does it read like an unbiased dry presentation of fact to you? Or more a commentary on how it is used, and why it blows? -- nm - TFox May 20, 08:15
  - Heh, I was asking because of this -- (link) - nubby May 20, 08:03
  - PleaseRobMe.com - TFox May 20, 08:03 2
    - Yeah, I'm turning off sharing features. -- nm - nubby May 20, 08:03 1
      - Nubby is the Mayor of classroom 315! -- nm - oblique May 20, 08:06
- I do. I'm pretty "eh" about it. Although if places tie in discounts and other benefits to "mayors," it has marketing potential. -- nm - mara May 20, 08:00
- Remlik does. I'm tempted as more business are starting to use it as an incentive program. Starbucks is doing one now where it gives Mayors discounts -- nm - oblique May 20, 07:59
former WCW champ knocked out at after Lakers game.... -- (link) - Remlik May 20, 07:55
first LaLa (or whatever her nickname is these days) was blaming the volcano for not being able to get to court, now someone has "stolen her passport" -- nm - zork May 20, 07:54 10
- [deleted] 7
  - Last night's news said there'd be a bench warrant issued if she didn't show today. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 20, 08:21
  - Maybe she'll pull a Polanski. - HdnAgnda May 20, 08:04 1
    - that would be sweet -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 08:46
  - yep. she's afraid to show because it seems pretty inevitable. -- nm - zork May 20, 08:04 3
    - This may be the best thing for her (see RDJ) -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 08:04 2
      - maybe. Has the jury come in (so to speak) about whether it was good for Paris? She's been somewhat under the radar (in comparison) but ... - zork May 20, 08:16 1
        
        How long was she in jail? A couple of days, right? RDJ had a longer time to get his head straight. -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 08:19
- Lilo, but Lala fits just fine. -- nm - the liioulu with mail May 20, 07:55 1
  - and sometimes Blohan -- nm - zork May 20, 08:14
LYC: Our Payroll system is being updated and as a placeholder my current job title is "Admin/Processing Clerk - Level C"..... - Walt_Disney May 20, 07:53 2
- Those titles sound like they downloaded a list from "Free Work Titles.com" -- nm - CrankYanker May 20, 08:05
- I don't put much stock in titles, but yeah, that naming convention is odd. - JaxSean May 20, 08:00
STIS: I could use some suggestions for a long weekend (4-day) trip for my wife and me. - Fuzzy May 20, 07:47 20
- during that time you can get great deals for 3 or 4 nights in Nassau. - zork May 20, 08:06 1
  - Now we're talking! I just sent her a text suggesting this (among a few others). -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 08:16
- hiking and possibly camping in West Virginia. *gorgeous* in the fall -- nm - Hotkiss May 20, 08:02 1
  - that's a little early for the fall colour though. (even here.) -- nm - Andie May 20, 08:03
- Road trip through the Finger Lakes wine country -- (link) - znufrii May 20, 07:56
- Savannah, GA. -- nm - JaxSean May 20, 07:53 4
  - This was her first suggestion. And decline's question was my concern as well. - Fuzzy May 20, 08:03 1
    - Eating. And...eating. :) - JaxSean May 20, 08:18
  - isn't Savannah kind of icky in August? -- nm - decline May 20, 07:56 1
    - Hmmm, yeah, it might be a little muggy. But you could spend a day or two at the beach on Tybee Island. -- nm - JaxSean May 20, 07:59
- Hiking in state parks! -- nm - mara May 20, 07:52
- drive somewhere. and drive back. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 07:48
- what budget level are you thinking of? -- nm - zork May 20, 07:47 7
  - and what area are you in now? -- nm - zork May 20, 07:48 6
    - And do you enjoy city site-seeing or more relaxing resort-like vacations. -- nm - pmb May 20, 07:50 5
      - We're in Pittsburgh. Budget doesn't concern me tremendously. She prefers relaxing; I prefer site-seeing and activities. -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 07:57 3
        
        Throughout the summer we do a fair amount of camping. For this trip I'll probably avoid the camping/hiking type of trips. -- nm - Fuzzy May 20, 07:59 1
        
        Pick a B&B a few hours away. There are some great ones in the Brandywine valley near Philly -- nm - decline May 20, 08:02
        
        Cedar Point! -- nm - TFox May 20, 07:59
      - He can site-see at home. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with mail May 20, 07:54
My favorite coworker pretty much lost her job today... - Guigue May 20, 07:43 2
- Mergers suck all the time - sorry your cohort is moving -- nm - Epiphany May 20, 07:45 1
  - In the end I think it will be a good thing for us, we'll be much bigger, have access to more resources and a much better office - Guigue May 20, 07:47
meems. -- nm - Mel Profit May 20, 07:41
What do we think of "What Would You Do?" - znufrii May 20, 07:41 2
- I've found it enjoyable when I've watched it. However, with what we see on the news nowadays about how some people are acting, it's not as surprising - JaxSean May 20, 07:45
- It's Candid Camera with a bit more of a social experiment twist. -- nm - Dano May 20, 07:42
Danish documentary about the Afghan War, Armadillo, becomes a buzz title at Cannes. Trailer isn't subtitled but visuals are stunning (but disturbing) -- (link) - Dano May 20, 07:41
Funny out-of-office message from one of the managers... - znufrii May 20, 07:30 2

Longer espn.com article on Landis admitting to drugs/doping and throwing Lance under several buses. -- (link) - Beaker May 20, 06:58 3
- Amazingly I have more disgust for Landis now than before. -- nm - pmb May 20, 07:51

  - 1, 3, 20, 55, 32, 18, 6, 55 (55th is the two flight airports). -- nm - mafic May 20, 07:10 4
    - I bet you didn't think anyone would get Yellowknife. How about Whitehorse, O'Hare, JFK, Trudeau, Gander, Bogata, Santiago, Rio -- nm - zork May 20, 07:15 3
      - wasn't sure if anyone would pick yellowknife. as for the rest, 7, 0, 32, 13, 0, 0, 23, 0. -- nm - mafic May 20, 07:20 2

- He didn't get enough. -- nm - nubby May 20, 07:02
MacGruber rating: C. - Andie May 20, 06:50 13
- oh Jax wins btw - he's the only one who guessed 'C' -- nm - Andie May 20, 07:11
- I haven't seen any of the summer movies so far but am I correct when I say that IM2 was in large part a letdown? - HdnAgnda May 20, 06:53 9
  - It was fun and I didn't think it was that big of a letdown. It was way better than Transformers II or X3 for instance - decline May 20, 07:26
  - I enjoyed it. -- nm - Diva May 20, 07:23
  - I wouldn't agree with that, no. - Thugnificent May 20, 07:09
  - why don't i know what IM2 *is*? - Andie May 20, 07:05 4
    - RDJ's latest movie? -- nm - zork May 20, 07:08

  - The impression I got is not as good as the first, but still enjoyable. -- nm - LMS May 20, 06:56
- Did you go with anyone? If so, what grade did they give it? -- nm - JaxSean May 20, 06:51 1
  - she would have rated it lower i think. -- nm - Andie May 20, 07:04
Dane was the closest - the correct answer is there are estimated to be 900 music festivals in the UK this summer. -- (link) - LMS May 20, 06:46 7
- Are they sure they didn't add an extra zero accidentally? Even if you say 'summer' is 120 days long, that's nearly 7-8 festivals *every day*. - JaxSean May 20, 06:50 6
  - It does seem rather high, although 'summer' starts this weekend. -- nm - LMS May 20, 06:54 5
    - they are probably counting every little street fair and such. Does anyone even do festivals there outside the summer? - zork May 20, 07:09 4
      - Music festivals will go as far as September, possibly October, then you've got Guy Fawkes night, then Xmas fayres in December. We expect it to be cold -- nm - LMS May 20, 07:15 2
        
        I love that spelling (fayre). There is a rollercoaster here called that was called Dragon Fyre but stupidly they renamed it to Dragon Fire. -- nm - zork May 20, 07:33
