hilarious. the thing that set off the fight between Charlie Sheen and his wife? Train's song "Drops of Jupiter" - chuckles Aug 9, 11:40 11
- that could have been me! -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:43
- ~she's like the wind~ -- nm - Max Aug 9, 11:42
- What if he liked it then..... - Will Hunting Aug 9, 11:42 2
  - apparently he was upset that it was the "special" song between Brooke and their daughter, and why didn't he have a special song with her? -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 11:45 1
    - Probably becuase Hit Me With Your Best Shot sends the wrong message? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 11:47
- charlie, alec, mel, and tiger should make a movie together. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:41 4
  - out of that list, I think Alec Baldwin is the one getting a bum rap -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 11:43 3
    - I don't disagree, but I just think he would really be able to anchor that cast. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:46
    - ditto. - Mel Profit Aug 9, 11:45
    - *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 11:44
- heh -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:40
"That's right, folks. A steak made out of bacon." -- nm - David Aug 9, 11:36 4
- We are only halfway through the episode, so we can't read spoilers yet. -- nm - Callisto Aug 9, 11:56
- sounds like a "master chef" rejected attempt -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:40

  - spoiler - Krusty Aug 9, 11:41
Doesn't look like anyone wanted my Hulu Plus invite. So I'm just gonna post the link here. First to click gets it. -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 11:32 [hulu] 1

- what is "paying"? i put 10 bucks on my account for the int'l calling i need to tell my brother in london to skype me - chuckles Aug 9, 11:32
- 250,000 - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:31
- 5 mil? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:29
- 2 -- nm - decline Aug 9, 11:28
Back from Vegas, got the final settlement statement on my new house, along with a check for the overage. Nobody has caught the mistake yet. - ceregon Aug 9, 11:26 7
- are you sure you are not forgetting something yourself? put it in a savings account for a couple years till the statute of limitations on stupidity - zeitgeist Aug 9, 11:35 4
  - Yeah, it's pretty cut and dried, in return for them lowering the price of the house (to get it under 124k and a different loan category) I would pay.. - ceregon Aug 9, 12:22
  - There isn't a statue of limitations on stupidity. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:37 1
    - but they have one or 3 years to sue -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 9, 11:59
  - I think that once they sign, they sign. Not his problem they didn't catch it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:37
- I dunno, I'd be concerned about potential future blowback, myself ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:33
- There are so many different numbers that it may be hard to catch. Plus the realtors probably don't pay much attention, not their money. - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:30
start the draft -- nm - budice Aug 9, 11:25
Related to the convo below, I saw a review/preview of the Volt on TV yesterday. Me likey. - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:23
AT&T UVerse app available for iPhones and Blackberry Torch. Watch your recorded content on your smartphone -- (link) - oblique Aug 9, 11:22 16
- so AT&T offers streaming video, but also removes unlimited data? - decline Aug 9, 11:38 12
  - The vast majority of most smartphone data usage will be over wifi. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:39 11
    - I rarely use wifi. They don't have it at either job. so I can use it at home? No thanks I'll get out the laptop or walk to the PC for a bigger screen -- nm - sycor Aug 9, 11:41 2
      - I use wifi very often at home on my iPhone. My laptop is crap, and my PC is in an awkward location at the moment. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:42 1
        
        Right. See this recent study, which says Verizon users averaged just 421 mb/month and AT&T 338. -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:43
    - only if you live in an area that has lots of free wifi - which many people don't -- nm - decline Aug 9, 11:40 7
      - Think home. People use them at home even with a computer nearby. It's just easier. - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:42 6
        
        if sitting at home, why not use your TV? -- nm - decline Aug 9, 11:46 5
        
        Multitasking? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:46 4
        
        I guess... doesn't make any sense to me though. -- nm - decline Aug 9, 11:47 3
        
        I use my iphone while watching TV all the time -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:48 2
        
        You watch tv on your iPhone while watching TV on the TV - decline Aug 9, 12:11
        
        (I have to inflate my ST stats *somehow* ...) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:48
- Correction. It's a selection of content, not your DVR library -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:24
- Pfft. Wake me when it's Android. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 11:24
- *twitch* -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:23

- You obviously have not been to a Vegas ST gathering. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:22 2
  - he passed out in ditch near brads gold club -- nm - Remlik on the 'droid Aug 9, 11:48
  - I agree with Cumberbatch. -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 11:31
Fun column on Smucker's Uncrustables.... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 9, 11:15 23
- this is the first I've ever heard of this and it gives me a great sad. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:22 11
  - Agreed. because I can make a killer PB&J in under 30 seconds -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 11:35
  - they've been out for a few years now, I helped do some local marketing for them about five years ago - crash davis Aug 9, 11:29 3
    - but since then you've felt a strange undefinable emptiness within yourself - Reagen Aug 9, 11:30 2
      - it might have been that, but I still suspect vampires -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 11:37 1
        
        (this is at least 60% hysterical.) -- nm - workmanda Aug 9, 11:46
  - it surprises me you've never heard of them. I think they;ve been around for a decade. And it makes me sad too. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:28 3
    - I don't think they've migrated north. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:30 2
      - i've never heard of them either. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 11:33 1
        
        ST discussed them maybe a year ago but that's the only time I've ever heard of them -- nm - zork Aug 9, 11:38
  - they also have them for grilled cheese now too -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 11:27 1
    - oh dear. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:27
- anyone buys uncrustables should just give up on life. that's throwing in the towel of motivation -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 11:17 10
  - Kare used to rave about them -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 11:31
  - They're good for kid's lunchboxes that won't be refrigerated. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:25
  - I used to buy them sometimes to keep at work incase I over slept and didn't have time to make anything to bring in. -- nm - sycor Aug 9, 11:22 7
    - *laughs and pionts* -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:23 6
      - yeah yeah. I work 65 hrs a week. I like to sleep in sometimes. and I'm lazy. there I said it. -- nm - sycor Aug 9, 11:24 5
        
        I had a pb sandwich for lunch. - Spawn Aug 9, 11:32
        
        PB&J takes, what, 45 seconds? 90? -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:31 3
        
        I must say, I haven't had a pb&j sandwich in years. Since maybe high school. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:38 1
        
        good god, boy. make yourself a little piece a heaven! -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 11:42
        
        takes me longer. I'm a prefectionist. -- nm - sycor Aug 9, 11:34
"After several months of bashing their heads against the wall... Of course, this was a bad move as the husband was recovering from brain surgery." -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:14
LIR: I think that baby stroller photo is misleading. This is what it looks like uncropped -- (link) - Andie boyfriend SI Aug 9, 11:13 4
- Good god!! -- nm - mara Aug 9, 11:41
- That is not at all what I expected - zork Aug 9, 11:40 1
  - See what 5 minutes in Paint.net can do :) -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:41
- SFAN -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:13
dammit, i posted my big long dog and baby story on B2 and it rolls. -- (link) - Andie Aug 9, 11:13 [Backboard] 7
- maybe they were just taking the kids and dogs for a test drive, to see how they would do as parent/grandparent -- nm - chuckles Aug 9, 11:16 3
  - Sounds like they *wanted* a kid to go in, to me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 11:17 1
    - yeah, the only reason she was close enough to save the dog was because she was sneaking up behind the kid to push him -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:37
  - "Oh, he's not mine. He's a rental." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:17
- What I read: "I posted my big long dong and baby story" What I thought: "She's pregnant...again" -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:14
- that has nothing to do with dongs -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:14
- that's a subject header you don't want to give to musubi to type. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:14
somebody needs to lighten the f*ck up... -- (link) - znufrii Aug 9, 11:12 4
- "Fine, I'll take it down. You have to pick your battles. They could have...the health department on us all the time." Then go to the media? - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:17
- I'm glad this was not a post about me. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 11:15
- yes it does -- nm - the makers of T\he Watchmen Aug 9, 11:14 1
  - Watchmen, not The Watchmen - my cat posted that before I could correct - crash davis Aug 9, 11:15
[deleted] 36
- now give me the GT-R for $50,000 under MSRP please. -- nm - Max Aug 9, 11:26
- 8K cheaper than Volt. Like I said, Volt is overpriced. (Yes, Volt is gas+electice) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:22 19
  - [deleted] 18
    - Plus: it's Chevy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:28 1
      - [deleted]
    - partially? 95% of my annual driving is within the electric range of the volt. That's substantially more than "partially". -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:25 15
      - How much do you spend on gas per year? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:28
      - Then why not get the Leaf? It's 100% electric. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:26 13
        
        Because that last 5% is a long way to walk. -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 11:33
        
        What happens when the charge runs out then? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:29 10
        
        Exactly, I won't risk that. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:30 9
        
        I'm certainly not supporting it. I'm just saying if 95% of your driving is within that range, it seems like a cheap alternative. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:38 7
        
        Yeah, the range would have to be huge for all-electric; alternatively, the charge time would have to be instantaneous. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:41 4
        
        "This is our new 200,000V instantaneous charge station. For your safely, please remove your clothing, jewelry and fillings before entering." -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 11:46 1
        
        "... or they will be removed on your behalf." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:47
        
        Well, not necessarily instantaneous. But not much longer than a gas fillup. 5 minutes would be nice. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:44 1
        
        I'd settle for 30. If you're driving somewhere longer than 500 miles, you can stop for lunch/dinner and charge your car. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:46
        
        yeah -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:39
        
        Word to the IM -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:39
        
        blah enter key.. this car isn't for families with only 1 car. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 9, 11:31
        
        Well, mostly because I'm not in the market for a new car - the current one is too small as is :) - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:27
- which five states? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 11:12 14
  - [deleted] 12
    - grazi -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 11:27
    - Wow. Florida by April? That surprises me. I still don't think you can get the Altima Hybrid here yet. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:21 8
      - I don't understand why they don't just make these things national. Also: I really want a Mini-E. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:30 7
        
        limited supply, also limits the amount of dealers you have to equip to support it out of the starting gate. -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 11:32 4
        
        The Altima Hybrid has been out for at least 4 years (I was thinking of getting one when I got my 2007 Hybrid Camry). - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:36 3
        
        I saw one this weekend on 95. Seems like a poor long-term strategy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 9, 11:37 2
        
        My suspicion is that they leased the hybrid technology from someone (Toyota I think?) and are waiting for that to expire. - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:39 1
        
        Looks like my suspicion is correctish. 2012 will probably be nationwide. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 9, 11:42
        
        Infrastructure -- nm - Roger More Aug 9, 11:32 1
        
        does the Leaf charge from a wall socket like the Volt can, or do you need a special charging station? -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 11:35
    - Arizona? Boycott Nissan! heheh -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:16 1
      - WTF, Arizona?! -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 11:17
  - One of them is Denial, not sure what the other 4 are. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 11:15
I've been a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch ever since Starter for 10. -- nm - Max Aug 9, 11:09
LYC: I just got some very very good news about a job lead I've been working. Nothing is signed yet so I'm not sharing details. But it's very good. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:07 15
- just a little detail: It's a 20% pay cut but it's *exactly* the work I'm looking for, so I'll take it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:24 1
  - I hope this works out for you! -- nm - zork Aug 9, 11:41
- GL -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 11:19
- WTG - best of luck!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 9, 11:16
- Don Domer! Unrelated, did you see my Hanson post from last night? -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:15 4
  - no!! what b? -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:22 3
    - Linky -- (link) - oblique Aug 9, 11:23 [Backboard] 2
      - did he win the opening band contest? They're doing that at every show for local bands. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:27 1
        
        Perhaps. Just popped up in my Facebook stream the other day -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:28
- best of luck, and it's Scully's birthday. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 9, 11:14 1
  - :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 12:01
- very good. - Mel Profit Aug 9, 11:09 2
  - I'm sending out more, don't worry. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 11:22 1
    - excellent. break a leg. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 9, 11:33
- awesome! - znufrii Aug 9, 11:08
Verizon has just published the full text of their joint proposal with Google which doesn't exist. Someone read it for me. -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 11:05 2
- Actually, the text is the opposite of what the rumors were saying. They're proposing enforceable neutrality -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 11:26
- It's basically what we've been hearing. Net neutrality for "wireline" internet, but not for wireless. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 11:10
Word. -- nm - Jim Aug 9, 11:04 1
