- Speaking of the World Cup, a local firm has provided the grass seed for the pitch (pitches?) - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:55
- Delist Date: Jul 1, 2006 -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:55 4

  - Bummer. -- nm - LMS Jun 3, 09:56 2
    - the idear still holds up IMO - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:57
    - it was very enjoyable and a fair bit of fun...something HSX simply cannot allow to continue. -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 09:57
Has anyone seen dignan recently? Another Golden Girl passed away. RIP Rue. (link) - musubi Jun 3, 09:46 8

  - I'm sure dignan will be very please that you think he needs both hands for that. (nm) - musubi Jun 3, 09:54 1
    - One to hold the magnifying glass. -- nm - pmb Jun 3, 09:56

- I had to find out from Drunk Hulk, but apparently Budice beat you both. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:47
[deleted] 28
- of course, he was also told if he did show up, he'd need to bring his drumset. -- nm - znufrii Jun 3, 09:52
- I wonder what his fan reaction will be at the start and if, God forbid, he misses another call. - David Jun 3, 09:44 1
  - [deleted]
- At least it didn't happen in Philly. They'd need to throw him into the witness reloaction program. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:37 1

  - It's the only way he could get close to Joyce. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:47 1
    - *laughing* -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 09:47
  - I realy wish the media would focus more on how upstanding Galarraga has been through this whole deal. - musubi Jun 3, 09:41
  - and the thing is that it's virtually official. - Mel Profit Jun 3, 09:40 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - Braden is kind of looking like a punk now. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 09:56
      - Actually, I bet Braden, Halladay and Galarraga's games all get remembered together. - musubi Jun 3, 09:55
  - classy -- nm - znufrii Jun 3, 09:39
  - Awwwwww. Maybe we'll have a scene in the stands like the one at the end of Naked Gun after Frank Drebin's speech to Jane. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 3, 09:38
  - Galaragga is an overnight sensation for how he has handled this. - David Jun 3, 09:36 3
    - He has handled this so well. From his smile after the call to the interviews about it, class all the way. Stand up guy. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 09:40 1
      - Joyce also, I agree. He took responsibility as soon as he knew he blew the call and gave Leyland his say without walking away. Well done. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 09:43
    - This all reminds me of Cuba Gooding's character in Rat Race. -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 09:37
  - VNS. - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:35 8
    - Yes, this is an example that should be shown to all of our kids. Great example of professionalism. -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 3, 09:39 3

I've seen headlines today about how 40% of teens have had sex, like it's some kind of shocking statistic. When that figure includes 18-19 yr olds... - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:29
Is one of mandy's friends flirting with me on her Facebook wall? -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 09:26 1

Not at all like Muslims: Conservative Christians come out against possible Comedy Central cartoon starring Jesus. -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:26 9
- We got 63,000 complaints when we screened Jerry Springer The Opera, at least 45,000 was before it was screened. -- (link) - LMS Jun 3, 09:42
- How many people are they telling people to kill? -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 09:27 7
  - not all muslems that protested mohammad cartoons also advocaded killing people - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:46
  - And there's the difference. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 09:29 5

I actually stopped the 1500 calorie a day thing, for a week. - groiny Jun 3, 09:24 9
- I have a hard time counting calories when it comes to home cooked meals. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:27 8
  - google has a great calorie counter program. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 3, 09:37 2
    - where? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:42 1
      - nmbl -- (link) - mara Jun 3, 09:46
  - Nutritional info is on everything though. Do the math lazybones. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:28 4
    - OK, it's not on the cafeteria's lunches. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:34 1
      - Start crotch kicking people then! Do I have to do all the thinking around here? -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:35

- until Godzilla comes! -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 09:25
Mop - distilling the previous thread. Cut back on the carbs, but don't cut them out completely. Use whole grains where possible (bread, pasta, etc). - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 09:17 5
- a spoonfull of peanut butter a day will help a bunch. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 3, 09:21 1
  - Hee, you're sharing my brain again. My regular bedtime snack is peanut butter on a rice cake :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 09:31
- I have to say, this is getting too technical. I was eating crap and losing weight. I stopped eating crap and I'm gaining weight. - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:20 1
  - if you eat little protein (on a low calorie diet), you will lose muscle mass, just fyi. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:21
- and really, really limit fried foods. -- nm - decline Jun 3, 09:20
LIR: Zork, I'm so sorry you had such a shitty day. -- nm - lileve Jun 3, 09:17 1
- I hope you find the bracelet - maybe someone turned it in - retrace your steps - 1989? good grief. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:19
LYC: Ever get the odd feeling that vendor you've never meet in person is hitting on you? -- nm - lileve Jun 3, 09:14 8
- Heh, years ago I had a real telephone crush on a vendor. I just knew he was tall, blonde, and handsome. Then he came to visit..... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 09:25
- It's just Redmond being Redmond. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 09:22
- Yes - it happens. - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:18
- If he's a dude, he's hitting on you. Oddly, I am pretty sure I got hit on at Lowe's yesterday by two female (much younger) cashiers. - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:17
- i've been to greece -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:15
- Sure, but then again, I'm me so it's the default setting - Will Hunting Jun 3, 09:15 1
  - You're just looking for a free lunch! -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:15
- he's trying to sell you something, right? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:14
Drill, baby, drill! -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:13 1
- you whish -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:14
for Reagen: THere are many places/circumstances around DC where people are asked not to take pictures in public places. I have to think there must be - loosilu Jun 3, 09:13 42
- I think the far bigger issue is that the cops in Maryland think they have a right to privacy during encounters with the public. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 09:23 1
  - And as we've seen recently, there's eminent reasons that they shouldn't. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:26
- I got my film yanked once for taking a picture of a customs agent rifling through my friend's car on our way into Canada. - Dr.Vermin Jun 3, 09:22 2
  - I don't agree with them doing that. Customs laws are an entity unto themselves though. - Reagen Jun 3, 09:25
  - that would be covered by Canadian law, not US. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:23
- In DC it is technically illegal to take picture/film in a metro station without prior approval -- nm - MDH Jun 3, 09:21 2
  - IIRC, the language that requires that is specific to productions involving setting up lights, sound equipment, etc. The law specifically allows - TWuG Jun 3, 09:24 1
    - Ah thanks. I know they were given a lot of student films troubles, but that explains it. -- nm - MDH Jun 3, 09:26
- Security guards and cops have been harassing people for doing legal stuff, yes. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 09:15
- asked not to. But legally prohibited from? -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:14 32
  - [deleted] 2
    - exactly. A tourist isn't going to press the issue. - Reagen Jun 3, 09:22 1
      - from observation: Bullshit they aren't. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:23
  - [deleted] 26
    - like I said on B2, there may be some specific laws passed in different locations. I'm not familiar with every jurisdiction. - Reagen Jun 3, 09:19 18
      - One example not related to security - in Australia, there are laws making it illegal to photograph certain Aboriginal sacred sites. -- nm - Roger More Jun 3, 09:21 3
        
        On the Hopi Mesas in Arizona you can't take photos. I'm not sure what the legalities are but I wouldn't want to try it. - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 09:28
        
        I can see the argument for that not being public property. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:24 1
        
        Yeah, I was thinking specifically of Uluru which is in a national park, but the land was returned to the local Aboriginal tribes on condition it be - Roger More Jun 3, 09:36
      - generally speaking, the rule is that if you're on public property, you can take a picture of whatever the hell you want -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:19 12
        
        I invite you to come to Arlington, and take pics of the Pentagon. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:20 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        this was, in fact, my original question. (good grief) -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:22
        
        Is the Pentagon on public property? -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:21 8
        
        damn i hope so - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:23
        
        sure. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:22 6
        
        Link rule. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:23 5
        
        it's .... owned by the US governemnt. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:24 4
        
        So is Area 51. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:25 3
        
        people take pictures there all the time, don't they? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:26 2
        
        not according to the discovery channel from the late 90s. No, people were arrested for trying to get to the ridge to take photos. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:33
        
        [deleted]
      - [deleted]
    - for the subway at least, photography is explicitly allowed. - znufrii Jun 3, 09:18 6
      - here's the applicable section -- (link) - znufrii Jun 3, 09:22
      - This is the big thing. Cops may not know the law, or know it incorrectly. Or could just hassle people because they can. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:20 1
        
        of course, after they get hit with a few lawsuits, they generally get their sh!t tight... -- nm - znufrii Jun 3, 09:23
      - clearly, just based on cameraphone pics. On the other hand, there are definitely places in DC where the cops will come get you if you're taking pics. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:19
      - I'm sure that if they ask you to stop and you don't, they'll keep pestering you until they get you on obstruction or some other trumped up charge. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Jun 3, 09:19 1
        
        ah, yes, the old "contempt of cop" charge -- nm - znufrii Jun 3, 09:22
  - don't know. they're pretty convincing. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:15 1

What's the big deal? It's just poop! -- nm - Jim Jun 3, 09:11 16
- [deleted] 12
  - I promise the further distance you grow from it - the ickiness will come back. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:20
  - I imagine dogs are nowhere near the level of kids, but I've got 3+ years under my belt with dog stuff. Just breathe thru your mouth. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:20 4
    - Smells are actually tiny particles entering your body. The nasal system filters them a bit ... breathing through your mouth brings the particles - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:23 3
      - I always wondered about this. If so many diseases are passed via fecal matter, doesn't that make farts rather dangerous? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 3, 09:33 2
        
        Pink eye! -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 09:36
        
        uh oh. now someone is going to weaponize them. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:34
  - Yup. That first time you get it on your hand is the worst, but it's all downhill from there. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:19 1
    - face > hands. - Mel Profit Jun 3, 09:20
  - Yep. When you back-to-back diapers, you do get desensitized to it all. -- nm - Jim Jun 3, 09:14 3
    - when diapers arent enogh it is bad -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 3, 09:15 2
      - Human Diapers - The Movie. Or would it be Oral Diapers - The Movie? -- nm - Jim Jun 3, 09:15 1
        
        Human Diaper just cracked me up. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 3, 09:21
- I fell like I'm the BP undersea pipe and I need a Top Kill stat! -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:12 2
  - you can tell a whole lot about your diet from your poop tendancies. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 3, 09:25
