- He coulda been a contender.. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:38
"The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:30 13
- Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. -- nm - budice Jul 12, 19:38 1
  - It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:42
- Whitney? That's one of the most annoying songs in the history of mankind. Pure formula over the top self-indulging dreck -- nm - zork Jul 12, 19:36 1
  - ... oh sorry, I thought you said "crack". -- nm - Whitney Jul 12, 19:36
- Sexual Chocolate! -- nm - Callisto Jul 12, 19:33

well, if they need to recast Sabretooth -- nm - zork Jul 12, 19:13
I may be overly nostalgic and poor taste inflicted today, but.. best Huey Lewis & the News song? - facto Jul 12, 19:03 30
- They are too loud - zeitgeist Jul 12, 19:20
- word ... Heart and Soul probably ... i loved the girl in the video -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 12, 19:19 2

    - I think I only care for Say It Isn't So and Private Eyes. -- nm - Tim Jul 12, 19:27 3
      - And the latter only when it's sung by the cast of Psych, right? -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:29 2
        
        or when Vinnie van Lowe is taunting Veronica Mars -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 19:31 1
        
        Veronica Mars only has one season available on Unbox. It's like they're toying with me. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:34
- Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own... -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 19:07 11
  - Video for Heart & Soul - real 80ies nostalgia gem -- (link) - facto Jul 12, 19:09 [youtube] 1
    - (the guy Huey brushes aside to his right, on the dancefloor at 2:08 - 2:10, especially) -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:25
  - Picture This (especially Working for a Living) was one of my favorites as a teen. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:08 8
    - I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 19:09 7
      - I have to return some videotapes. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:15
      - You sound like you have a spectacular business card. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 12, 19:13 3
        
        It's bone. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 19:21
        
        THIS IS NOT AN EXIT -- nm - nubby Jul 12, 19:14 1
        
        I'll have you know, I listened to about 5 or 6 Phil Collins songs, right before logging on.. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:23
      - What to say to Sports dissenters in the long run? Nine million people can't be wrong. - nubby Jul 12, 19:12
      - "That song is so lame." "So lame that it's cool?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 19:11
- Now we're talking. - David Jul 12, 19:04
- I Want A New Drug. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:04 4
  - I agree! Now how about that law suit - did Jamie Parker really steal the song, or what happened? I like Huey's one better -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:05 3
    - Ehrr... Ray Parker, Jr. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:06 2
      - Ray Parker has a song called Jamie, fwiw - synapses keep misfiring, didn't even catch Quale's first Bateman-reference... -- nm - facto Jul 12, 19:17
      - I don't know. however, totally unrelated, I used to deliver the paper for Huey's uncle in Massachusetts. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:07

True Beauty! -- nm - nubby Jul 12, 19:02
TFox's letter seems to have really fired up Ortizzle. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:01
You people are all closet Hallraisers. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:55 8
- I've chosen to view these last two boards as an especially vivid fever dream. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:58 3
  - The last couple of weeks, Kim has been obsessed with some Hall & Oates cover album. - David Jul 12, 19:00 2
    - maybe you need to ... relax. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:01 1
      - Frankie say...huh? -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:05
- I can't go for that. (nm) - nubby Jul 12, 18:57
- nothing wrong with good pop. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:56 2
  - When you're 14! -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:00 1
    - no way. You're in denial. Good pop is always good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:01
Dinner break, 1480 left. -- nm - nubby Jul 12, 18:54
Say It Isn't So -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 18:54 2
- One on One, Kiss on My List, I Can't Go for That, Method of Modern Love (maybe that's just me), Private Eyes.. - facto Jul 12, 18:57 1
  - oooh, I have to say Kiss on my LIst. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:04
"Brent, take Michael to the bathroom" -- nm - amoxy Jul 12, 18:50
hmm, early excitement seems to have simmered down. Guess that counts as a false alarm :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:50 14
- when's the due date again? and pls remind me of the gender. - loosilu Jul 12, 18:56 3
  - July 18th. Boy. :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 12, 19:03 2
    - I hear that David is a great name. -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:26
    - awesome. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:06
- but, we got a free gift in the mail today. Some sort of Nestle promotional diaper bag and change pad, with a formula "starter kit" inside - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:52 8
  - good call. - Andie Jul 12, 19:11 2
    - I had that problem. Pediatrician asked me if she sucked or chewed...guess he knew something I didn't - she had teeth at 3 months :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 12, 19:27
    - My sis is breastfeeding her twins. God bless her. She says it's all she does all day. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:13
  - I have to tell you ... my brother hates Nestle with a passion because of that. He is a very strong believer in nursing. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:02
  - I like giving the little baby kits - thermometer, that bulb thing that I think clears noses?, and the leeetle teeeeny tiny nail clippers ... so small. -- nm - JenBro Jul 12, 19:02 1
    - hee. You use that bulb thing once, then the next time you use it the kid will act like you're going to chop off his finger. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:03
  - Bery, you're talking to yourself again. -- nm - the liioulu with recharging battery Jul 12, 18:54 1
    - It's his board. *giggle* -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 18:59
- Until about 2:00 am :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 12, 18:52
I'd say Rich Girl is a hot candidate for the top 3 all time Hall & Oates songs. Best album overall? - facto Jul 12, 18:50 1
- I think I missed something. does ST love Hall and Oates all of a sudden? -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:56
Mmm, grilled pork chop and sliced apple....very yummy! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 12, 18:48
"What?! WHAT?!" - Mel Profit Jul 12, 18:43 27
- He's trying to make a goddamned spiritual connection, you [expletive deleted] -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:45 4
  - nothing says spiritual connection like knocking out a few teeth. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 12, 18:52 3
    - go eff the jacuzzi -- nm - CQ Jul 12, 18:58 2
      - You have ONE MORE CHANCE! -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:59 1
        
        or else it's the Rose Garden for you. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 12, 18:59
- I think he's wonderful -- nm - CQ Jul 12, 18:45
- Has he passed Alec Baldwin yet? -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:45 20
  - Long time ago. -- nm - the liioulu with recharging battery Jul 12, 18:45 19
    - But Alec ranted for 10 minutes to his own young daughter, like a madman. Oksana is an adult. -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:47 18
      - I think just about anybody with a teenaged daughter can totally relate and are willing to cut him some slack -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 19:22
      - true, but Gibson is somehow crazier. I can't explain. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:52
      - Alec, I think, just threatened to slap his daughter... - Mel Profit Jul 12, 18:51 8
        
        Seems he wasn't actually acting, in Mad Max or Die Hard, as much as being himself - although restrained -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:52 7
        
        In Die Hard he was being Bruce Willis. - Reagen Jul 12, 18:54 5
        
        I KNOW! It was way better than Samuel L. Jackson as Lawrence Fishburne in The Matrix. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 12, 19:09 2
        
        or Bill Pullman's Bill Paxton in....whatever the hell it was the other starred in -- nm - prayformojo Jul 12, 19:14 1
        
        While You Were Frailty -- nm - David Jul 12, 19:16
        
        Quality. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:59
        
        *laughing* -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:57
        
        I have actually heard for YEARS that he is insane, but I didn't know what it meant. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:53
      - Alec apologized, his daughter never took out a restraining order, and they still talk. - the liioulu with recharging battery Jul 12, 18:49 6
        
        Ok, I guess you're right.. Also Alec's was over the phone. How old was she then? Not sure kids can file restraining orders? -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:53 5
        
        Not to defend Alec but I don't think it's uncommon for a parent to lose it and make a threat like that... - Mel Profit Jul 12, 18:58 1
        
        I have to agree. Gibson reaches another level. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:59
        
        It can be done for them. -- nm - the liioulu with recharging battery Jul 12, 18:55 2
        
        True. But I can't help thinking that a young daughter may not know that a dad's behaviour is truly out of line. - facto Jul 12, 19:00 1
        
        certainly, after it got out, she knew. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:34
GM's bold new plan: Bringing back the El Camino! -- (link) - Reagen Jul 12, 18:43
Kelly, you will love your GPS. (and I always accept money for babysitting because it's hard) -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:37 32
- Today was a long day - 3 under the age of 2 (including a 6 month old with acid reflux issues who did nothing but spit up all over me ALL.DAY.LONG.) - kelly Jul 12, 18:39 22
  - ack!!!! I feel for you. and yeah, I would not have taken money for that either. - loosilu Jul 12, 18:58 12
    - (spoils) - kelly Jul 12, 18:59 11
      - it's not in my general vicinity. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:00 10
        
        Oh, and the town is somewhere in Fairfax County. - kelly Jul 12, 19:05 3
        
        Fairfax Co is shockingly big. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:07 2
        
        (spoils) - kelly Jul 12, 19:13 1
        
        yeah, just about everywhere in Fairfax is wealthy. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:27
        
        I have a (temp) job interview tomorrow, so I am hoping I am not available... :) - kelly Jul 12, 19:01 5
        
        ah, I'm out of town this weekend. Brooklyn and Long Island for family stuff. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:05 4
        
        Oh, I just meant in general. - kelly Jul 12, 19:06 3
        
        ok. well, let me know if you want to meet up. spoil. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:09 2
        
        Heh, okay. - kelly Jul 12, 19:14 1
        
        I'm out of town for the next two weekends, unfortunately. - loosilu Jul 12, 19:26
  - yeah, i babysit for two of my friends pretty regularly (including twins who will just be 2 next week.) i wouldn't let them pay me either. - Andie Jul 12, 18:46 4
    - My friends pay me. I think this is partly because they know I'm strapped for cash. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:59
    - I guess I feel like we help each other in different ways. - kelly Jul 12, 18:58
    - I liked Kelly's friends' solution of the gift. -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:48 1
      - oh, those are nice friends! and i'm sure she earned it. -- nm - Andie Jul 12, 18:49
  - You are kind, but I think the only people I would ever NOT pay to watch kids would be family who were doing it because they offerred to do it. - landbeck Jul 12, 18:45 2
    - Oh noooo. - kelly Jul 12, 19:17
    - barfy babies, very tough. Also, one kid I babysit for is Asperger's. He usually is good for me, but when he's not, watch out. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 19:12
  - You should have stopped talking about Varitek. It makes me want to vomit, too. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:41
- Babies are annoying. They're all "Feed Me" and "Bathe me" and "Do something with my waste." - David Jul 12, 18:39 8
  - I think of it as an investment. Sure, there's a lot of work on the front end, but then they get skills. I love being able to hand the new equipment - landbeck Jul 12, 18:47 5
    - Don't forget Facebook! -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:48 4
      - "Here kid, post to the forum for me." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:49
      - That's the dark side of it... -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:49 2
        
        (but truly hilarious...I crack up every time I think about that) -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:49 1
        
        :) My son would be delighted to know that. -- nm - landbeck Jul 12, 18:50
  - Can't go two hours without a major crisis. And for what? Cause the birds woke them up? Grow up, kid. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:40 1
    - Seriously. If Tippi Hedren can deal with it, I think you can, junior. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:41
I find the whole Apple thing odd in that I would expect the iPad, the new product, to be the flawed one. The iPhone 4 is just an upgrade. -- nm - David Jul 12, 18:37 1
- They didn't want to admit to the problem on the first one, so.... -- nm - the liioulu with recharging battery Jul 12, 18:42
Does one of the Law & Orders bring back Chevy Chase to revisit their "Mel Gibson" episode now? -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 18:37
Totally You Make My Dreams Come True. -- nm - loosilu Jul 12, 18:36 1
- Strange how I hadn't really noticed that one before, although I've heard it many times. It's tight. Radio friendly. Happy hour at the bar. Dance floor -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:43
~My face ain't looking any younger~ -- nm - facto Jul 12, 18:35
