Doodle Earth CC Tourney, couple slots open -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 16:39 3
- i just signed up, but Escalating on that particular map is INSANE -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:44
- surprised they didn't change that map too - just for safe measure. :) -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:42
- Another big one I'm in looking for players (fillins) -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 16:41
Isn't there a point where the price of a stock drops below the stock's projected dividend? - Mop Oct 16, 16:34 1
- Usually not without splitting. -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 16:40
OMG, I just noticed the "beer" sign in the new ST banner. -- nm - mara Oct 16, 16:30 4
- And Laughing Cow. Sweet. -- nm - Callisto Oct 16, 16:34
- hahahahaha ... I was wondering how long it would take :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:31 2
  - (The source image was taken from my flickr feed, from January 2008 ... in fact, I think I put the pic in TT365) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:33 1
    - I wish I'd been more dedicated to TT365. - ty97 Oct 16, 16:34
So *if* Obama wins, I am thinking that years from now the yard signage I have might be worth something. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 16, 16:14 9
- I sold my soul to MoveOn for a t-shirt which I haven't got yet. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 16:27 2
  - I've been trying to get an official t-shirt for months now in a certain style but they are always out of my size no matter which shirt I choose -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 16:30 1
    - Geez, look at that. No wonder he made so much money off his web site. There's a million different t-shirts. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 16:48
- It's probably worth something now. I've been trying to get a yard sign for nearly two months. -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 16:22 5
  - they want $8 for one at the local obama and democratic office -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 16, 16:23 4
    - Can't get one in Waco. Not even for ready money. :( -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 16:26 3
      - They probably ceeded texas and are spending their time and money where there investment can swing some votes and the whole state's delegates -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 16, 16:33 2
        
        *sigh* I know. I just wanted to piss off my oh so Republican neighbors. :) -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 16:37 1
        
        how about I buy a couple and mail you one? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 16, 16:55
*sigh* Voicemail left at my home saying that John McCain and the RNC want me to know that Obama "works closely" with domestic terrorists. *Sniff* You - HdnAgnda Oct 16, 16:09 14
- It's a stinky cologne. -- nm - nubby Oct 16, 16:20 6
  - speaking of eau de toilette - i lmao every time that "Bond Girl Perfume" commercial comes on. - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:33
  - (whispers) desperation... by john mccain -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 16:22 4
    - Nice. -- nm - mara Oct 16, 16:30
    - L3 -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 16:26
    - *pictures old guys with walkers, wearing tighty whities and leering at Sarah Palin ... then loses her dinner* The John McCain diet program. yum -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 16:25 1
      - *lunges at sheba, tongue lolling out, grabbing with both arms* -- nm - John McCain Oct 16, 16:30
- Hmm... The Chicago Machine's been called a lot of things but that's a new one. ;) -- nm - the liiouilu with extra i Oct 16, 16:18
- the underlying message here is that we need to invade Chicago - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:17 1
  - I heard that they were doing tests at the University of Chicago in preparation for an atomic bomb! -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 16:30
- You've been robocalled! Congratulations, voter! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 16:12 2
  - Daily. But still it is interesting to be in a battleground state for the first time. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 16, 16:13 1
    - I'm thrilled to be leaving Colorado tomorrow. - ty97 Oct 16, 16:16
- Doesn't that just prove that he's a uniter? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:10
Better game tonight, Sox/Rays or Caps/Pens? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 16, 16:09 9
- Sub-Poll: starting Kazmir and saving Shields for a possible Game 6? -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:16 6
  - Brilliant. Kazmir has the best stuff on the team and the umpire for game 6 ejected him previously for arguing balls and strikes. -- nm - David Oct 16, 16:25 3
    - ah... i did not know about the umpire issue, but i agree on all points - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:34
    - Well, the latter point I agree... he hasn't had the best stuff on the team lately. -- nm - TFox Oct 16, 16:26 1
      - He hasn't pitched the best but he still has the best stuff. -- nm - David Oct 16, 16:43
  - Good move. From what I've read Shields is near unbeatable at home and human on the road...Planning ahead for the worst never hurts. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 16:18 1
    - that was my primary arguement. maybe Kazmir brings his A-game and wins it, if not, you've got your best bet to finish it off at home -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:35
- agreed on the IM. Baseball izzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 16:12
- I am hoping for the Sox to make it interesting and not just fall on their bats. I have two friends who are respectively Phillies and Sox fans and I - HdnAgnda Oct 16, 16:12
Hrm, this was an interesting post. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:08 [Backboard]
Google - $1.35 billion profit -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 16:03 9
- and according to the news last night, they feed their employees for *free* lots of gourmet food -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 16:07 8
  - this isn't news to anyone who's ever heard of news. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 16:08 7
    - well it was the first I'd seen or heard of it and I live right next to silicon valley and watch the news every day. -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 16:11 6
      - I hadn't heard that before, either, but I'd assumed Google had such a program in place. - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 16:15
      - it's been on the best places to work list for years and that's one benefit that's always mentioned. - keanu reeves loves mandy lane Oct 16, 16:14 3
        
        yep -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 16, 16:36
        
        IU never read those lists really other than to find FedEx on it, thats all I cared about, that was my whole life. Now I got nothing other than - Stacy Oct 16, 16:19 1
        
        I like to stay current. people differ. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 16, 16:20
      - I read about that years ago, i was looking through their office and whatnot - Triumph Oct 16, 16:14
sitwap? BSG set to come back Jan 16. (link) - Jovian Oct 16, 15:55 4
- Enough! ST needs a policy. Either repeat posts are automatically forgiven (thus, no more SITWAP) or repeat posts are punished with electric shock. - Mop Oct 16, 15:56 3
  - Yeah! And a second violation results in a flight on one of those CIA planes that doesn't file an official flight plan. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 16, 16:06
  - Actually, I have an idea for this. *adds to the top-secret list* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:03
  - *shocks Mop* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 16, 15:57
The media must be bored. All Joe the Plumber, all the time! Is this helping or hurting McCain? Or neither? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 15:55
Breaking: Joe the Plummer is not really named Joe --nm - rollo Oct 16, 15:52 8
- And I bet your name is really rollo, right? -- nm - JoeThePlumber Oct 16, 16:08 2
  - My real name is Calvin Trager -- nm - rollo Oct 16, 16:10 1
    - Awww, don't you look cute talking to your stuffed tiger. -- nm - JoeThePlumber Oct 16, 16:12
- I mentioned that below. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:54 4
  - I mentioned that as well :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 15:58 3
    - I dub you both comedy geniuses! -- nm - rollo Oct 16, 16:01 2
      - Hey, I claimed that title first. - Beryllium Oct 16, 16:02 1
        
        I'm just impressed I was able to refute someone's claim with proof dispelling their claim.....that doesn't actually happen often -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 16:04
I fvckin' knew there was some more Sisko fans out there. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 15:47 3
- dont get me wrong. I love Sisko. But again, Picard owns. nm - Jovian Oct 16, 15:54
- The Man. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:48 1
  - The dog. -- (link) - Subversive Oct 16, 15:50
I've been stalked! - nubby Oct 16, 15:44 4
- I will be utterly tickled inside if it was sent FedEx. -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 15:54
- Yay!!!!! It obviously took the looooooonnnngggg way around. -- nm - the liiouilu with extra i Oct 16, 15:50
- This reminds me I need to send my summer stalker t-shirt. This weekend, for sure! -- nm - Subversive Oct 16, 15:47
- He traveled to Australia just to get you a gift? Krikey!! That's dedication! -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 15:45
Joe the Plumber is not a licensed plumber. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:38 4
- Plumb you, Canuck bastard. -- nm - JoeThePlumber Oct 16, 15:39 1
  - Hey man, guys like you used to worship me, for I controlled the accuracy of their wholesale accounts. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:40
- ^-- Thus begins Plumbergate. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:38 1
  - Plumbergate 2! Remember, he's distantly related to Charles Keating, so he must be a crook. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 15:54
Sex-on-beach trial Britons guilty -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 16, 15:37
Hey Mop - eag Oct 16, 15:32 3
- Which time? - Mop Oct 16, 15:53 2
  - I guess I was reffering to this last time like 2 months ago the one your wife suprised you with -- nm - eag Oct 16, 16:13 1
    - That was the Animal Kingdom Lodge. - Mop Oct 16, 16:25
LYC: For the Canadians who still like politics....here is an e-mail I got from the President of the Liberal Party today.... - Walt_Disney Oct 16, 15:24 3
- It's this type of direct fundraising they badly need. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 16, 15:25 2
  - Did you see this from this morning? -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 15:49 [Backboard] 1
    - Dang. Wish I had a screen shot caught of that. Would make for many funny blog posts over the next few months. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 16, 16:16
Stacy, or whoever else in the Fantasy Hockey... - the liiouilu with extra i Oct 16, 15:23 5
- I hope this issue is fixed soon :( -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 15:36 4
  - Just took care of it. -- nm - the liiouilu with extra i Oct 16, 15:49 3
    - heh, yeah my posted tip was mainly for you when I checked your team :) Glad it's working -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 15:59 1
      - I wasn't even changing it day to day. I haven't been able to get in since I added the next tol ast player. - the liiouilu with extra i Oct 16, 16:04
    - yay!!! :) -- nm - Stacy Oct 16, 15:50
Rome. -- (link) - Loyola Oct 16, 15:20 4
- Think of it more as a condensed treatise of the economic problems of the Roman empire. -- nm - Loyola Oct 16, 15:49 2
  - crash -- nm - Loyola Oct 16, 15:50 1
    - still my comment stands, it really is condensed as to be an oversimplification, another example is it ignores the political instability and civil wars -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 16:09
- that really is a vast oversimplification of an immensely complex subject, for example it almost reads like Roman expansion stopped with Augustus -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 15:38
SITWAP: Playboy laying off workers. Not a euphemism. - Qale Oct 16, 15:15 5
- They still have clubs? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 15:59 1
  - I believe they have one in Vegas. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 16, 16:26
- You know things are serious when the porn industry starts losing money. -- nm - sheba Oct 16, 15:18 2
  - Playboy's business model went to hell in the 90's and Hef was too busy nailin' Playmates to notice it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 16, 15:24 1
    - Hrm, I wonder what could have happened in the 90s that could have messed with their business model? - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:39
Joe the Plumber *is* registered to vote, that blog was wrong. -- (link) - Stacy Oct 16, 15:10 1
- The long national nightmare is over. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:11
dangit, now I want pizza for dinner -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 16, 15:09 3
- Have you all tried Dr. Oetkers pizza? It's really quite good. I actually think grocery store pizza is usually better than the major delivery outlets. - Subversive Oct 16, 15:22 2
  - nope -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 16, 15:30 1
    - Try it! Mmmmmmm. -- nm - Subversive Oct 16, 15:40
CNetTV reviews the Google Phone (T-Mobile G1). Video and text review. -- (link) - Mop Oct 16, 15:04 5
- it's a brick....way too bulky looking -- nm - J Oct 16, 15:10 2
  - and drowning slowly. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 15:12 1
    - *giggles* -- nm - Tim Oct 16, 15:20
- Walt Mossberg (Walt Street Journal, all around tech guru) reviews G1. He's kinder than CNet. -- (link) - Mop Oct 16, 15:07 1
  - While Mark Wahlberg interviews Timbuk3. "Hey, what's up Timbuk3. I like your sunglasses. Sometimes I wear shades when I'm producing Entourage." -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:09
HSX.com: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" Placeholder is down; is something new about to go up? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:03 3
- oh, placeholder is down at work. Interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:04 1
  - HSX.COM has been dow a couple of houers now -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 16, 15:30
- placeholder is up for me, but given that they seem to be doing this via DNS, anything is possible -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:04
I will give Pizza Hut credit for this Pizza Mia thing, of being able to market substandard pizza with less toppings as a premium offering - Reagen Oct 16, 15:02 21
- I had Pizza Hut last night, 3 topping large Pizza for less than $20...great pizza but it was cold when I picked it up. I live too far away for deliver - Stacy Oct 16, 15:41
- Well, thanks a ton, Reagen. This pizza board broke me, and I've just ordered Papa John's. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:30
- I can imagine that it is in fact substandard, but I am now ravenous for it in any case. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:05
- You're absolutely right. Pizza Mias are terrible. Not even worth the 5 dollars. -- nm - Qale Oct 16, 15:05 17
  - Little Caesar's is better. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 15:06 16
    - my intestinal track begs to differ. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:13 8
      - perhaps if you ate LC pizza it would help your halo skills. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 16, 15:22 7
        
        please. I saved your ass so many times last night it wasn't even funn.y -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:31 4
        
        pfft. "saved it for later", you mean. -- nm - trumon SI Oct 16, 15:32 3
        
        we were pretty solid last night. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:38 2
        
        That 50-21 round on Boundless from a week ago, that was awesome. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:40 1
        
        yes yes it was. But last night due to lag I think, we lost David as a teammate and we beat a foursome..Tru,J and I. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:45
        
        now you tell me -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 15:29
        
        what is this, the "david theory of gameplay improvement"? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 15:24
    - They don't really exist very much around here. I think Pizza Hut is better, but you have to actually get the real thing. -- nm - Qale Oct 16, 15:07 6
      - I'm only comparing LC to the PM offering here in the "how cheap can you get for chain pizza" category. - Reagen Oct 16, 15:11 5
        
        Oh there's always CiCis. (barf!) -- nm - Qale Oct 16, 15:12
        
        I really miss LC, though. There are a few on the outskirts of town, but for the most part they evaporated. I loved their crust. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:12 3
        
        I *love* their crust (the edge part only). it's always far undercooked in the middle, though. -- nm - keanu reeves loves mandy lane Oct 16, 15:29 2
        
        totally agreed. The crunchy crust was terrific. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 15:46
        
        I think that was why I liked it: the crunch vs chewy dynamic. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:32
Like this? -- nm - emoticripple Oct 16, 15:00
