David, going to see Hoover pitch again tonight. -- nm - nubby Jul 2, 13:23 1
- dam -- nm - Dano Jul 2, 13:25
In case you missed it (and only if you care) all CX derivatives will delist on Tuesday. - MojaveMeg Jul 2, 13:17 2
- I wonder if that opens for speculative price swings in the meantime... They should halt, perhaps? -- nm - facto Jul 2, 13:20 1
  - Was wondering the same thing - will people with existing profits liquidate to protect them. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 2, 13:30
538 on Steele's Afghanistan comments. Calls from his resignation from the usual suspects. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 2, 13:14
From below: Is Borderlands multiplayer only or is there solo play? Is it as much fun when you're playing solo or with people you don't know? -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 13:14 19
- Yes, yes, and yes. I really like it. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 2, 13:17 8
  - Is there a point to the game? A goal? Or is it a kind of endless battle/item grab? -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 13:25 7
    - I haven't quite figured that out yet myself. It's not endless battles, though. - JaxSean Jul 2, 13:33
    - [deleted] 1

      - You're trying to gather things so you can open a vault. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 13:27
    - Exactly. It's like real life, but with cell shading. [nm] -- nm - hose311 Jul 2, 13:26
- Solo campaign can control your life for 25 hours. It's addictive albeit occasionally repetitive. -- nm - David Jul 2, 13:16 5
  - Yup, so very right. Addictive yet repetitive at times. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 13:18 4
    - "What do you mean my vehicle blew up and now I have to run across this landscape for 5 minutes to get another one?" - JaxSean Jul 2, 13:19 2
      - A bit glitchy at times too. I've had enemies disappear and reappear or seem to float in the air. - Krusty Jul 2, 13:23 1
        
        But were they a half human/half bird hybrid? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 2, 13:26

I think that goalkeeper on team Ghana looks a tad bit like Jamie Foxx.... Make a movie of it? -- nm - facto Jul 2, 13:03
Did anyone actually post a link to Slacker Talk for the various returning old timers at HSX? - David Jul 2, 12:52 43
- I googled "slacker mojave meg" to find it...lol -- nm - tealfan Jul 2, 12:55 1
  - Really got me pegged, huh :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 2, 13:03
- The HSBRers know about the place. Can't speak for the other old-timers. -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 12:55 3
  - I'm talking about the Beer Wenches and Hawthornes of the world. -- nm - David Jul 2, 13:00 2
    - Uh, Hawthorne just doesn't love us anymore. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 2, 13:01
    - Hawthorne knows where we are...we just started to post beneath him. - Jim Jul 2, 13:01
- its been done before... - Zeitgeist Jul 2, 12:55
- I thought about it, but they all seemed to know of the troubles at HSX so quickly that I assumed they were networked in with STers already -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 12:55 5
  - it looked like most of those are hsb&r'ers and/or people who still lurk. -- nm - b. Jul 2, 12:59 4
    - Heh - I joined TT/ST after the site wars and couldn't tell you who was on which site. Except for David of course. -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 13:03 3
      - David's on a fansite? Which one? (nm) - musubi Jul 2, 13:03
      - Well, sure. Everyone knows David founded The Trades -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 13:03 1
        
        Shut down The Trades! (nm) - Dignan si Jul 2, 13:04

    - Dude! You are on Facebook, but not here? - Black Rabbit Jul 2, 13:00 17
      - Well, let me ask you this, does ST have pointless quizzes like What flavor Jelly Belly are you? [nm] -- nm - hose311 Jul 2, 13:06 13
        
        Better: ST has arguments over why a caramel corn jelly belly poster is smarter than a strawberry cheesecake jelly belly poster. -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 13:08 6
        
        Viking jelly beans are better than Cheerleader jelly beans. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 2, 13:09 5
        
        Only in Ralph Wiggum's dreams. -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 13:12 1

shameful confession - Beryllium Jul 2, 12:42 11
- to sell it visually you'd need a bevy of beauty queens to escort you plus one guy in a neru jacket -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 2, 13:16 1
  - I know someone who would look very menacing and convincing in a Neru jacket. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 13:17
- You could get all that on a single button you could pin on. - OAE Jul 2, 12:56
- will it be gray enough? it is salt n peppery....you'd just look like a muslim terrorist -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 2, 12:51 2

We are having a small cookout tomorrow - I am making potato salad and baked beans for the first time (which is odd, considering some of the stuff I do - kelly Jul 2, 12:41 13
- put a hamhock in with the beans. mmmmm. -- nm - workmanda Jul 2, 13:29
- Kelly (waves) - I JUST made baked beans (super easy) for a cook out (2nd time actually) and they were a big hit again. Recipe inside: - JenBro Jul 2, 13:11 1
  - very nice, i'll have to try it some time - 'lia Jul 2, 13:16
- You can add sliced canned apricots to the beans, which makes them... - OAE Jul 2, 12:57
- Undercooking the taters is a good way to ruin the salad. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 2, 12:45
- Only if you put potato salad in the baked beans. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 2, 12:44
- You can probably screw up the potato salad. Beans are pretty hard to mess up. -- nm - Jim Jul 2, 12:43 6
  - Well, the only thing that worries me about the beans is that the recipe says to soak them overnight, then cook for 8-10 hrs on low. I don't have the - kelly Jul 2, 12:45 5
    - then you do the quick cook method - 'lia Jul 2, 12:56

      - Word. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 2, 12:49
Last night at Best Buy I had 3 different ppl try to sell me on some promotion with Direct TV they were doing. Was annoying. - sycor Jul 2, 12:39 3
- If AT&T or DirectTV could match the deal I'm getting through Comcast, I would switch in a heartbeat. -- nm - Star Spangled Strongbad Jul 2, 12:48 2
  - AT&T easily beats and Comcast deal I have ever seen. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 2, 12:51 1
    - Not mine. We get a group discount in our complex from Comcast. I'd switch if they even got within $10/mo -- nm - Star Spangled Strongbad Jul 2, 12:52

97, have we talked about a postcard deal? when can we have that talk? is that why your phone called mine? -- nm - workmanda Jul 2, 12:33 5
- I'd participate in a postcard Open Stalker, where you send postcards to 5 TTers. That wouldn't be any more expensive than a tshirt for one. -- nm - Max Jul 2, 12:45 1
  - MAX!!!!!!!!! *glomp* -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 12:45
- we do need to have this talk (work [bleh] is on my phone at the moment) -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 12:37
