    - spoil. - loosilu Dec 8, 08:36
  - I wonder if he got the surnames mixed up - think about it. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 8, 08:29 3
    - indeed, but it's not making any more sense. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:30 2
      - Friends with ty and TFox -- nm - amoxy Dec 8, 08:33 1
        
        I'm friends with an Amy Sanders? Hmm. I wonder what her maiden name was. - TFox Dec 8, 08:41

    - Nice. I'm skipping the book additions in favour of the actual story. Should I read them as I go? -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 08:27 3
      - Perhaps on the second readthrough. It does add to the story I think.... - Remlik Dec 8, 08:29 2
        
        It must be nice to be able to read this. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 8, 08:33
        
        Ok, I'll skip them for now. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 08:31

Happy election day, Quebec! -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 08:15 10
- Canada has so many elections, it confuses me. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:21 8
  - About 1/5th as many as the U.S. -- nm - Mop Dec 8, 08:26
  - funny coming from the country that votes on *everything* and takes 2 years to do it. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:22 6
    - but we do it all on one day, see? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:24 5
      - not true. - Reagen Dec 8, 08:26 2
        
        it's a minority and doesn't make much news. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:27 1
        
        ps. and the governorships are still fought on election day. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:27
      - I'm sure we'll get there eventually. But I'm sure some states have elections on a different day, for various reasons, and this is about the same. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 08:25 1
        
        nothing major, really. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:26

Anybody have thoughts on when it's best to fix your car and when it's best to just give up and get a new one? - Ender Dec 8, 08:11 12
- That's about when I changed. I got a great deal on a new car and this was even before the current mess. I spent just about $11k on the car. -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 08:25
- This might help. -- (link) - mara Dec 8, 08:19
- sounds like it's about time to get a new car. Bonus: Car dealers are desperate. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 08:18
- now. maybe try and donate it to charity for a tax deduction if you can't sell it (kidney foundation does it in canada, not sure about the US) -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 08:13 5
  - there's numerous charities that will do it here, though I had heard that the IRS was cracking down on some of the more egregious abuses - znufrii Dec 8, 08:15 3
    - I could be wrong, but pretty sure it's not the charity that values the car, it's the donor who is filing. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:16 2
      - I can only speak for us, but we are not allowed to put a value on our tax reciepts when people donate to the library. -- nm - Amy Dec 8, 08:18 1
        
        We certainly don't bother with it when my charity gets in-kind donations. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:19
  - Places do it here, and it's a good time to do it since you might get the money faster this way via tax rebate than selling it. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:15
- New-to-you equivalently priced cars are at least fun for a while. That one's fun is all used up. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:13
- time to call it a day with it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 08:12
- I think this is the time. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:11
I was once accused of coming to work hungover, when I had not had a single drop of alcohol the night before. - kelly Dec 8, 08:06 8
- My co-workers think I drink constantly - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 08:27
- Were you still drunk/hungover from two nights before? - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 8, 08:11 6
  - I have *never* been that drunk. -- nm - kelly Dec 8, 08:12 5
    - /me looks at TT photo files -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 8, 08:13 4
      - I have *never* woken up still drunk. - kelly Dec 8, 08:15 3
        
        But I did sleep for 3 days once -- nm - kelly si Dec 8, 08:19 2
        
        I believe that's technically a coma. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:21
        
        when I saw who actually posted this, I LOLed. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:20
what do you mean, "how do you justify it legally"? - Reagen Dec 8, 08:06
i love seeing before and after photoshop pictures (Jessica Alba) -- (link) - El Fandie Dec 8, 08:06 11
- speaking of PS I need a favor from ST... - Mel Dec 8, 08:28
- I love it too. Although, I wish I had real life photoshop for myself! - Amy Dec 8, 08:15 3
  - Especially if it has the power to take us to a beach! -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 8, 08:19
  - I keep wanting to be able to Ctrl-F newspapers and books. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:17 1
    - I keep wanting to use the tivo rewind button for the radio, and sometimes in real conversations. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:20
- I doubt those are real before and after. I'm pretty sure the after is from a different picture - Guigue Dec 8, 08:13 3
  - i'm sure the after pics are composits and air brushed and photoshopped. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 8, 08:13 2
    - But the angle on the 2nd set is so different. - Guigue Dec 8, 08:17 1
      - right, that's why she said composites. taken from multiple source photos. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:18
- She's plenty hot in the pre-tweaked version. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:07 1
  - she sure is. this is how girls turn into anorexics. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:09
How kickass would Milwaukee have to be, for CC to visit there for 3 months and then give up $40M for it? - TFox Dec 8, 08:06 6
- it's not 40mil. It's 17mil and whatever he'd get in the 1st year of a new contract. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:10 5
  - Given New york's track record, they might very well make him a similar offer 5 years from now, so why should he rush to get here? -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 08:12
  - Anytime someone is willing to pay you $23M for a season 6 years away, I don't think you can bank on that being there again. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:11 3
    - If guys like Vincente Padilla are getting 11mil, there'll be money - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:28
    - especially if you're a lardass...nm - x, riding a unicorn of happiness over a rainbow Dec 8, 08:13 1
      - Kid, I will kick your ass..... oh. You mean CC. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:13

  - Sometimes we know too much, don't we? :) -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 08:13
Open a window and a breeze rolls in, and I.... - TFox Dec 8, 08:03
I think I'm actually posting hung over... - Mel Dec 8, 08:03 6
- As am I -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 08:20
- It's totally acceptable. And posting drunk is actually preferable. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:04 1
  - agreed -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 08:07
- sure. I'm posting jet lagged. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:04 2
  - and OK, yeah, you're not drinking Canadians under the table. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:06 1
    - they won every time. I had to learn to fake-drink. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:08
*calls in to B2 drunk* -- nm - kelly Dec 8, 08:01 2
- *decides to be manhungover today* -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 08:04 1
