    - seriously. that's some serious bullshit. I know this is a family-friendly board, but even big bird knows BS when he hears it. - workmanda May 20, 10:12 1
      - they should give him a girlfriend. Cakey Monster -- nm - pixie krakow May 20, 10:13

- well he was. when they let him eat cookies -- nm - pixie krakow May 20, 10:06 3
  - Honestly, have you watched it recently? It really is exemplary children's programming, imo. - musubi May 20, 10:09 2
    - no i get that. it always had that subtext. i just hate how Cookie Monster can't be Cookie Monster and Oscar can't be a real Grouch - pixie krakow May 20, 10:11 1
      - I really don't know what you mean when you say CM isn't CM and Oscar isn't a grouch. - musubi May 20, 10:13

- Apology time! -- (link) - nubby May 20, 10:00 3
  - Not exactly. Regrets talking to Madow, doesn't regret what he said. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 20, 10:02 2
    - Okay, not so much an "apology" as a "clarification". An "apolofication". -- nm - nubby May 20, 10:06 1
      - Well, that's the last time he talks to someone who tries to get him to clarify his position! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) May 20, 10:09
- tangentially, apparently one of the things that Utah Republicans turned on Bob Bennett for was his support of the 17th Amendment - Reagen May 20, 09:55

        Paul's lead over Conway was already low single digits to start with -- nm - pixie krakow May 20, 10:12
So Landis is gonna be cycling's Jose Canseco, isn't he? - musubi May 20, 09:47 8
- testosterone messes with you brain apparently - Danedukenuuk May 20, 10:03
- landis is grosser. -- nm - b. May 20, 10:01 2
  - oh like you haven't been doping your entire career either, b-rod -- nm - pixie krakow May 20, 10:02 1
    - *smacks you in 'roid rage* -- nm - b. May 20, 10:07
- I dont' think so. No one believes cycling's clean as it is. At least with baseball for years, we hoped it wasn't bad till it became indisuptable - Will Hunting May 20, 09:59 1
  - I was thinking more of his role as scummy inside whistle blower, ala Jose, rather than actual effect on the sport. - musubi May 20, 10:03
- How far did Canseco go to deny it? Did he hack into doping labs' systems to alter his results? - nubby May 20, 09:50 1
  - yup and I blame Jack Daniels! -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:04

- The local legal system has become much less sympathetic to celebrities. They used to be treated much more gently, but the public won't - MojaveMeg May 20, 09:56
- They should have put quotes around "Actress" -- nm - amoxy May 20, 09:52 1
  - I'm sure she can still act. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:54
- Is it too much to ask that she go Bonnie &, uh... Bonnie? -- nm - Reagen May 20, 09:51 1

- they haven't budged on making the iphone hearing aid compatible, though. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:42 17
  - is this a law? -- nm - workmanda May 20, 10:00 14
    - we went through this before, I'm sure you remember. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 10:02 13
      - I'm not hearing impaired so I didn't write it down. I can google. -- nm - workmanda May 20, 10:03 12
        
        To sum up: There is a law that says every manufacturer has to make at least one device that is HA compatible. - loosilu May 20, 10:06 11
        
        I remember looking at their site when this came up in the past, but I don't recall seeing this: - b. May 20, 10:12 1
        
        heh, I posted that same link, and with similar wording. at least I'm consistent? nm but: -- (link) - b. May 20, 10:13 [Backboard]
        
        only physically flawless people are welcome to use apple devices. obviously. - workmanda May 20, 10:07 8
        
        kinda seems that way. It irks me because they paint themsleves as super progressive. - loosilu May 20, 10:08 7
        
        in fairness, most people with perfect hearing can't hear phone conversations on iPhones either. so it's sort of equal. -- nm - TFox May 20, 10:11 1
        
        heheh, this is true -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:13
        
        The newest incarnation of Apple the company does strike me as quite arrogant. - Reagen May 20, 10:11 2
        
        reagen, if that's your attitude, you can either surrender your iphone or change. it's a problem with you, not with us. -- nm - workmanda May 20, 10:13 1
        
        Mapple. Think Differently. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:15
        
        maybe they want you to have surgery and not use an (scoff) external device. -- nm - workmanda May 20, 10:11 1
        
        there's no surgery. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 10:14
  - but there must be hearing aid compatible BT headsets, right? -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 09:45 1
    - not as such. With some hearing aids you can get a BT attachment. Not the type I have (which is the most common). -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:49
From the perspective of someone not involved, B4's oil well discussion with Dane was pure comedy gold. -- nm - Ender May 20, 09:40 3
- oh wait. "Can't you for once stay on topic?" Ironymometers around the world just went crazy. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 09:57
- "You only call us a cow school because we were founded by a cow!" -- nm - Reagen May 20, 09:53

  - I found my gems last week. this weekend when maxine is here I'm going to GT his shoes. -- nm - workmanda May 20, 10:06
- Yep, there are just a few of these big ticket items, and then there are thousands of cheap knockoffs. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:39
- agreed. The popularity of shops like H&M have been soaring -- nm - Hotkiss May 20, 09:36 6
  - SJP herself had a line of inexpensive clothes. Like mega cheap. I don't know how well it did. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:40 5
    - then the whole company went bankrupt, that's how good it went. -- (link) - Hotkiss May 20, 09:47 4
      - oh, hang on. She didn't own S&B, which is the store than went bankrupt. She just had one line of clothes. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:50 1
        
        from what I read at the time, her line and the stephon marbury shoes the store was known for did fine - - b. May 20, 09:59
      - The clothes were too cheap. I didn't see how it could work. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:49 1
        
        her clothes were *more* costly than S & B's other offerings. the store worked for years before SJP. SJP's line could have worked as well. - workmanda May 20, 10:10

        I have never liked the show (in childhood or adults). The Bub does not like people in costumes, as he has already determined them to be fake/lame, - Nightcrawler May 20, 09:37 3
        
        I was scard of people in costumes. can't see their eyes. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 09:41
