- You misspelled WALL-E -- nm - ceregon Aug 1, 08:40 6
  - Nope. The second half is flawed. It's good, but nowhere near TDK. -- nm - TWuG Aug 1, 08:50 3
    - The flaws in the 2nd half of WALL-E pale before the flaws of the 2nd half of Dark Knight. -- nm - ceregon Aug 1, 08:51 2

        If TDW wrapped up around the 100 min mark or even stretched it to two hours, it would be fine (spoilers). - ceregon Aug 1, 09:28

- I just watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"...B (spoilers) - amoxy Jul 31, 21:22 1
  - I loved the movie, but watching it with both the dub and subtitles on... not recommended. - the darcy Jul 31, 21:25
What a wasted day. I think I napped off and on for 4 hours today - amoxy Jul 31, 20:55 9
- I used to never nap. Now I have doctor's orders to nap as much as possible. - Trish Jul 31, 21:59
- Will it make you feel worse that we ran a 5K tonight and our whole family is jogging/walking a 10K in 7 hours? - JaxSean Jul 31, 21:26 2
  - that's awesome. I napped AND walked 4 miles today, so there. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:30 1
    - We should have napped. Too much running around and errands. - JaxSean Jul 31, 21:43
- We did our weekly shopping (takes about 3 hours) and I was so wiped out I came home and took a 3 1/2 hour nap. Which is why we ate dinner at 8. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 31, 21:15 2
  - The only time I nap is when I am not feeling well. - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 21:16 1
    - Yeah, i'm usually the same way, but Connor fell asleep on the way home and we plopped him in our bed and we laid down to watch some Psych... - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 31, 21:19
- I do not believe in "I'll sleep when I'm dead." I'm a big fan of sleep. -- nm - Qale Jul 31, 21:04
- I napped too. napping is good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:56
LYC: I just became FB friends with a 15 year old who was named after me. (true story). her mom just told her how she was inspired for her name. - loosilu Jul 31, 20:45 12
- Very cool -- nm - amoxy Jul 31, 20:55 11
  - most of my siblings' and friends' kids are boys. I think Mikaela may end up being the only kid named after me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:01 10
    - Ok, I guess someone has to ask...how is "Mikaela" being named after you? -- nm - Jim Jul 31, 21:08 9
      - excellent question. Her middle name is Lucine. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:10 8
        
        Ok, I guess someone has to ask... is your name Lucine? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 21:10 7
        
        Lucienne. however, when Jo was preggers, she emailed me and specifically told me she was going to name her daughter after me. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:12 6
        
        that's a very pretty name -- nm - peglegpete Jul 31, 22:02 1
        
        it is -- nm - zork Aug 1, 00:02
        
        Ok, I guess someone has to ask. What beer are you drinking tonight? -- nm - I'm Bacon Jul 31, 21:15 3
        
        hi Bacon! just our homebrew. and yes, Jo named her daughter after me. why is that so hard to believe? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:16
        
        I'm drinking Ice Tea -- nm - amoxy Jul 31, 21:15 1
        
        I keep forgetting I have Crown Royal downstairs. - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 21:18
Heh, D's singing the hell out of some Shania Twain--"Any Man of Mine" - Trish Jul 31, 20:34 5
- And now, the Gaga. -- nm - the darcy Jul 31, 20:37 4
  - We should marry -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 21:58

Hey Pixie - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 31, 20:10 7
- so you're a doctor and a lawyer....sounds like a premise for a cable show -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 21:05 3
  - Pixie.. start writing! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 31, 21:20 2
    - make sure I get a good car -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 31, 21:21 1
      - a Dr.Esq really could rip them a new one -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 21:35
- there is a fancy legal way to say that but i don't have the boilerplate in front of me at the moment -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:33 2
  - Okay.. any keywords in there that I can google? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 31, 20:38 1
    - any form contract is generally going to have those "authority to enter" clauses buried near the end of them -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:40
help, which ocean is warmer? Pacific or Atlantic? I'm getting conflicting answers. -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 31, 19:13 34
- the atlantic was about 80 degrees today when i swam in it -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 19:34 27
  - Geez, if I were to drive a straight line to the Pacific, I'd have to wear a parka and fuzzy flipfllops on the beach. - Trish Jul 31, 20:31 9
    - I have always (apart from grad skool) lived within an hour drive to the beach. I think it would freak me out if I wasn't. - loosilu Jul 31, 20:33 8
      - I grew up about 4 four miles from the Indian Ocean, now I live about 10 miles from the Pacific. I haven't been to the beach in years :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 20:50 4
        
        I think I missed where you grew up! -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:57 3
        
        West coast of Australia. Up country, on a farm, until I was 10, and then on the coast until I left for England at 19. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 21:03 2
        
        Just a few miles south of where Mafic's based these days. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 21:05 1
        
        very cool. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:13
      - I think I was a sea captain in a past life. I go to the ocean as often as possible. - Trish Jul 31, 20:47 2
        
        ironically, I am the worst sailor in the history of Erf. I get seasick in 10 minutes, and the least wind freaks me the fuck out. - loosilu Jul 31, 20:51 1
        
        When you drive on I-10 out of New Orleans, go across the causeway over the gulf, just on the other side is miles and miles of white beaches on the - Trish Jul 31, 22:21
  - Bath day! -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 20:23 1
    - they are nice. you should try them -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:34
  - pixie and I were in the same ocean at the same time today! -- nm - nubby Jul 31, 20:02 6
    - Cool. How far away? - amoxy Jul 31, 20:23 3
      - about 200 miles. -- nm - nubby Jul 31, 20:37
      - Not far enough. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 20:24 1
        
        here's hoping - Trish Jul 31, 20:49
    - Is that why the water is blue? - CrankYanker Jul 31, 20:19
    - ewww - chuckles Jul 31, 20:03
  - That was the one thing I loved about Florida. I've never known water so warm. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 20:00
  - I hate you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:56 6
    - imagine how Nags Head Max feels -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:01 3
      - what about NH Max? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:26 2
        
        he texted me that it was freezing up there. i laughed at him -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:33 1
        
        the hilarious thing is that French Canadians think Maine is really warm. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:34
    - The usual hate? - eag Jul 31, 19:57 1
      - different. Normally I hate him for being him. This time I hate him for doing something I would like to do. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:05
- wikianswers that based on average temps, Pacific is warmer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:15 5
  - I saw that one, then read another one that explained how the Gulf waters warm the Atlantic and the Polar water cools the Pacific. - CrankYanker Jul 31, 19:23 4
    - the pacific is larger and has relatively more of its area spread over the tropics, so it makes sense that it'd be warmer on average. - mafic Jul 31, 20:05 1
      - it was nice and cool in Guam and Hawaii... god that was wonderful. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:15
    - as wikianswers says, they are both vast oceans and the temperature varies greatly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:26
    - Coastally in the US the Atlantic is warmer. -- nm - Dano Jul 31, 19:24
If I were going to rent suitcases, I would only rent Louis Vuitton, because the tensilary strength goes to 200 pounds. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:10 22
- for the cost of what it would take to rent a bag you could buy a whole set of decent bags new - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 19:22 5
  - uh, I'm sure rental cost is less. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:27 4
    - wedding dresses and tuxedos iirc rent for a third retail or basic wholesale cost three times then sold - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 19:37 3
      - if it costs $4K to rent a suitcase, that is a really stupid business model. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:55 2
        
        head/desk...ok let's walk through this one more time.... - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 21:31 1
        
        oh, you said rent was $4k. whatever. anyway, I would not do itl. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:36
- Are they really made better? I think getting a LV suitcase is just asking for it to get lost. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 31, 19:15 15
  - that's from Three Kings. :) I don't know. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:16 14
    - Indeed. When you're carrying millions in Kuwaiti bouillon, you really need to know the fabric strength. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 31, 19:28 2
      - Kuwaiti? I thought it was Saddam's gold. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:30 1
        
        that he stole from Kuwait -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 21:09
    - This is the one I've been looking at. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 19:20 10
      - I don't know how often you fly, but in my experience it is worth getting better quality for flying. Have seen too many suitcases arrive at JFK - loosilu Jul 31, 19:29
      - size of suitcase depends for me if I'm driving or flying, and what I plan to do when there. - loosilu Jul 31, 19:28 6
        
        also, for flying, I never ever buy black. Always a color. The black suitcases all look alike. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:32 5
        
        That's why I'm looking at the green. I have a larger one which is a little too large. I'm thinking the 25" and a carry-on will work best for me. - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 19:41 4
        
        I think my biggest suitcase is 25". can't deal with bigger no matter what the length of the trip. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:55 3
        
        ps. Don't turn into my mom! she carries like 8 or 12 small bags on road trips. it is a family joke. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:16 2
        
        Trust me, I travel light :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 20:47 1
        
        I keep trying to tell Mom, you are not going to Mars. You don't have to bring the ENTIRE medicine cabinet. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:52
      - that looks like standard carry-on size...you wouldn't necessarily be bound by that max unless you expect to fly one day -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 31, 19:26 1
        
        does the description explicitly say it is carry on size? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:30
so is crash going to start watching Dark Blue now? - tRuMaN Jul 31, 19:07 2
- Crash is about to play Rock Band with me, as soon as he downloads Lady GaGa. - Trish Jul 31, 20:01 1
  - please tell me he's singing poker face right now. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 20:06
Mmm, Navajo taco. Well worth walking back across the street for :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 19:02 2
- I am going to this next weekend in Santa Fe -- (link) - peglegpete Jul 31, 19:10 1
  - Nice!! I'm going to miss going to the southwest this year, but can't do everything :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 19:16
Cano! -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 19:00
