And here I thought the heading of the post "Chickens & You" was just a ploy to get you to look at the apartment listing... -- (link) - znufrii Aug 3, 11:55 6
- My dad thought he was a chicken, the mental hospitol said they could cure him but we were poor and mom said no.... - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:04
- That's great. Would you be required to keep the hen house? -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 12:00 4
  - probably... -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 12:00 3
    - At least you'll have fresh eggs. Quick question... - Krusty Aug 3, 12:05 2
      - ooh, my SO's daughter lives in a decent nab in Portland and she bikes to work all the time, I'll find out where - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:08 1
        
        Sweet, thanks. I've been looking but I'm not happy with what I've seen. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 12:09

- I suppose a more important question is: Is it a better belt than what up started with? - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:06 1
  - officer thinking right here -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:06
- fashion ninjas can strike at any time. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 11:58
- just make sure you are wearing the same pants -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:58
- I could've sworn I grabbed my belt and put it on this morning... -- nm - znufrii Aug 3, 11:58 5
  - he -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 12:02 1
    - did something naughty? -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 12:04
  - ha! -- nm - Diva Aug 3, 12:02
  - Love it! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:01
  - Winner! -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:59
- There's a glitch in the matrix. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 11:57
- I am missing a laundry basket. Searched high and low, it is not in the house - amoxy Aug 3, 11:57
- Don't you hate those blackouts when you're certain you have forgotten something good? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:57 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - he said she said -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:01
    - You're repping Big Ben now? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:59
STIS: Which poilitcal party am I? - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:54 31
- This largely depends on what you mean my "small government". - not2fast Aug 3, 12:31
- Either old-school moderate Republican or a classic libertarian. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:02
- Pastafarianist -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 12:00
- [deleted] 2
  - Oh come on. Those are as real as Sasquatch, Nessie and ROUSs. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 12:01 1
    - *pounces onto your shoulder* -- nm - Moderate Republican Aug 3, 12:02
- You sound like a GOP member except for that last sentence. Not sure you fit into either big party or a fringe party. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:57 8
  - I have long considered myself GOP, but they seem to have abondoned fiscal responsibility and embraced religious nutcasery. I don't like that. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:58 7
    - This is why when people ask me, I respond Conservative, not Republican. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 12:03 1
      - Sure, I consider myself conservative though I know my opinion on hookers & crack doesn't fit with that. I also don't believe in censorship. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:07
    - Maybe you should be an independent. You wouldn't get to vote in a primary but if you don't agree w/the party I see no point in - Krusty Aug 3, 12:03 2
      - the problem with that is when the primary is de facto the general election, due to one party having an overwhelming majority - znufrii Aug 3, 12:04 1
        
        Sadly, you're right. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 12:11
    - where do you stand on gun control? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:02 1
      - I think the current laws are reasonable in intent. I know there are some god-awful gaps, but generally I'm ok with the waiting period, license, etc. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:05
- Possibly Libertarian. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 11:56 2
  - Ooh...forgot about the Libertarians. I'd say this. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:57 1

  - The legalization and regulation of prostitution, really? So government regulation is a-okay after all? -- nm - mara Aug 3, 11:59 10
    - [deleted]
    - Is this for ML or for me? -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 12:00 8
      - For anybody who thinks you're a match for any brand of libertarian. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:01 7
        
        People retain their freedom to act as they desire within their own person - Will Hunting Aug 3, 12:04
        
        Alternatively, if somebody can link me to something that plausibly makes a libertarian case for more government regulation, I'd be very interested. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:02 5
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm not at all missing that. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:06
        
        Well... the change from prohibition to regulation is at least in the libertarian direction. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 12:03 2
        
        Not as much as it's in the liberal direction, IMO. -- nm - mara Aug 3, 12:04 1

If you call someone's cell phone locally but their area code is Loooong distance, do you get charged for a long distance call? - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:54 5
- if yo uare using a local, land line it will be a long distance call - even if he is in the same room as you. -- nm - decline Aug 3, 12:01
- it depends on your phone plan -- nm - peglegpete Aug 3, 11:56 1
  - I have to 'plan' my phone? sigh, "he who fails to plan, plans to fail" -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:59
- From cell to cell? I think most cell phone plans do not have a "long distance". It's just a call. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 11:55
- Are you calling from a land line, if so, yes you will get charged long distance. Call from your cellphone and no charge. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:55
If the Twinkies beat TB tonight I *might* consider taking my conditioning test tomorrow morning. - Diva Aug 3, 11:53 2

- Go Twins! -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:54
Here's a hypothetical (I'm asking without having "correct answer" in mind) - prayformojo Aug 3, 11:47 16
- not sure - does barney know what's in the boxes in the attic? -- nm - Diva Aug 3, 11:59
- I'd abstain from the decision as you were forbidden from asking the elephant in the room question - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:57 3
  - Otherwise, clearly state he's the best for the job, but you can't feel comfortable without answers to a very possible Conflict of Interest. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:58 2
    - If there is a way to do this, it is what needs to be done. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:00 1
      - this - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:04
- I think that if the person deserves the job, you have to offer unless the relationship will assuredly create issues down the line. -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:57
- All things being equal, don't hire Barney. - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 11:55
- Nothing good could come from his hiring. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 3, 11:55
- While qualifications are obviously important, they aren't everything. I'd remove Barney from consideration. -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 11:54
- Why would Barney be privy to Debra's information? - musubi Aug 3, 11:50 2
  - It's necessary for the day-to-day running of the department -- nm - prayformojo Aug 3, 11:53 1
    - Huh. I honestly don't know what I'd do. Theoretically, Barney shouldn't be dinged by his marriage to Samantha. - musubi Aug 3, 11:59
- This is why companies should have nepotism rules -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 11:49 3
  - Yikes. Aren't families a cornerstone in the business world? -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 11:57 1
    - You try to avoid it in companies that have this level of size. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:59
  - This -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 11:51
Hey ST folks, which of you are in the Bay Area? And are you closer to SFO or SJC? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 11:46 4
- I am 3 hours away from the Bay. SJ would probably be better for me - amoxy Aug 3, 11:48
- b! and amoxy are both NorCal-ers. - musubi Aug 3, 11:47 1
  - I'll be working in SJC, but have flexibility on which airport I can fly into. - ty97 Aug 3, 11:48
- Resurrection Bay? -- nm - Dr.Vermin, formerly near Chesapeake Bay Aug 3, 11:47
Five days later, the 360 immediately goes to the two red lights overheating error. Play N Trade said it'd probably be $85 to fix. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 11:43 2
- That sucks but that's the best price I've heard to fix it. Sorry. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:48
- my PS3 doesn't overheat. -- nm - decline Aug 3, 11:44
LIR: 1600 points = $20.00 us dollars -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 11:37 1
- It is. -- nm - sycor Aug 3, 11:41
LYC but I started playing Prey the other day. It's okay in an old school FPS kind of way. Oh, and I decided to get the points. Tron is on XBLA! -- nm - sycor Aug 3, 11:36 4
- The XBla versions of Tron arnt quite that good I hear -- nm - eag Aug 3, 11:49
- see? better. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:40 2
  - yeah yeah no need to gloat. :P -- nm - sycor Aug 3, 11:45 1
    - heh -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:51
Two-fer Tuesday Poll: What do you want two of today? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:33 11
- boobs -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 12:23
- light sabers -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 12:06
- hours of free time to finish my deck benches. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 11:41
- million dollars -- nm - peglegpete Aug 3, 11:37 5
  - why wouldn't you go with billion, Austin Powers? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:41 3
    - That would just be unrealistic. He's much more likely to get this. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 11:42 2
      - along with his "Death Star" and the "Alan Parsons Project." -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:42 1
        
        and his Moon Units. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 11:43
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:40
- Two chicks at the same time -- nm - Lewis Aug 3, 11:34
- BJs and Steaks, of course -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 11:34
Why would Baltimore trade their best QB? -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:31 25
- Zombie Johnny Unitas? -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 11:53
- You're such a provacateur. -- nm - Dano Aug 3, 11:47 1
  - Are you taking notes? -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:01
- Did I miss something, is Flacco's name out there in trade talks? - Krusty Aug 3, 11:39 5
  - What you missed is David's dislike of Flacco. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:43 1
    - Disliking Flacco makes me sad. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:46
  - No, David's trying to stir the pot that Troy Smith is the Ravens best QB. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:42 2
    - It's the same situation as Leftwich/Garrad. -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:59
    - With some of David's other football evaluations, he might actually believe that Troy Smith is the better QB. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:48
- There's been no talk of Flacco trades. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:37 6
  - From what I've been reading about the Ravens it seems they're going to go with only two QB's. - Krusty Aug 3, 11:45 5
    - I agree with Inigo, but Revis is hardly going broke. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:54
    - I think those Revis trade rumors are made up. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 11:46 3
      - Okay, good to know. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:47 2
        
        To be clear, I don't think the Jets would trade him, and definitely not to the Ravens. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 11:52 1
        
        I also don't see anyone wanting to deal with him and his contract issues right now. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:54
- You're a Falcons fan.....what do you know about good quarterbacking? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 3, 11:35 6
  - As a fan of neither team, I'd take Ryan over Flacco -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 11:45 5
    - One of them progressed last year, one of them regressed. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:56 4
      - If I were building a team, I'd take Ryan. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 12:02
      - Of this, there can be no doubt. Remember how a Ravens fan would come home complaining after every game? -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:58 2
        
        it was terrible when they crushed the Pats in the first round of the playoffs - chuckles Aug 3, 12:00 1
        
        I'm sure he thought "I wish we'd been in the AFC where 9-7 gets you in." (nm) - David Aug 3, 12:02
- Avoiding the obvious bait there, I think it shows they can't get anything in return for Troy Smith. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 11:33 1
  - I think that's been pretty obvious for a while. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 11:39
Which reminds me, I absolutely died laughing during the last Psych when - musubi Aug 3, 11:28 11
- That's great news. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 11:41 4
  - except he's not actually dead :( -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 11:42 1
    - See if I suggest you don't get tased again. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:46
  - He'll still post from the grave. -- nm - Inigo Aug 3, 11:42
  - Good morning sunshine! It's a wonderful day don't you think? (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:42
- blided? -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 11:34 3
  - If only that were the worst gramatical attrocity my typos commited in that post.... (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:43 1
    - My cat is sleeping peacefully on the floor next to me...It is a soothing sight -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 11:45
  - "blided", verb, to bide one's time while not looking at anything. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 11:41
- It never gets old. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 11:33
- Yup. -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:31
From B2 regarding the States Borrowing, I am surprised that Alaska has borrowed any money - amoxy Aug 3, 11:26 9
- I like how budget deficits all of a sudden matter to people now -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 11:31 6
  - Yeah, nobody talked about runaway federal spending during W's tenure. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 11:32 5
    - The right didn't seem to care much. I guess because they were in power. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 3, 11:36 2
      - Yes, R's are clearly the only hypocrites on this issue. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 11:38 1
        
        six years - chuckles Aug 3, 11:40
    - i talked a lot about how i missed the Clinton surplus -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 11:35 1
      - Yup. I commented often, maybe not here, about how the deficit was growing out of control. I miss the days of the surplus. Thanks Bill! -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 11:41
- Bridges to nowhere don't just build themselves. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:30
- I'm a little surprised by that as well. I will have to investigate. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 11:29
it's about time to quit playin games -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 11:24
I'm gonna stage a board roll to see how B2 reacts. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:24 12
- *shoots musubi* -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 11:29
- Oh, this is where everybody went, we were having a fine conversation till you rolled the board -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 11:26
- luckily I was planning to tase you anyway. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 11:26 5
  - Don't tase me, bro. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:26 4
    - no, tase him, bra -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 11:27 3
      - Nuh-uh, bro. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:28 2
        
        it's singles night at the Dodgers game this friday (hint hint!) -- nm - chuckles Aug 3, 11:30 1
        
        Don't get tased, bro. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:31
- *punches you in the face* -- nm - B2 Aug 3, 11:25
- I want my money back -- nm - amoxy Aug 3, 11:24
- *grabs pitchfork* -- nm - Don Homer Aug 3, 11:24 1
  - It was for science! (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 11:26
