if you were playing 25000 pyramid this morning and someone said "amanda jones," you could say - workmanda Aug 13, 07:09 3
- round and round she goes -- nm - Max Aug 13, 07:11
- That last one is so not amanda jones. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 13, 07:11 1
  - I know, right?? but I found it in the jacket of a sweater I stole from ross, so you know it's true, -- nm - workmanda Aug 13, 07:11
Not to speak ill of the dead, but this has been bothering me. Two guy in robot suits start fighting in front of you and all DJ AM can think of to play - Reagen Aug 13, 07:03

  - linky -- (link) - decline Aug 13, 06:59
- I love the fact that they're calling it a "tablet" and everyone is comparing it to the iPad. WTF? -- nm - oblique Aug 13, 06:56 8
  - you can get it without a phone contract and just use it as a 'tablet' -- nm - decline Aug 13, 06:57 7
    - so it's a tremendously overpriced 5" tablet? I don't consider 5" to be tablet sized -- nm - oblique Aug 13, 07:00 6
