  - Ummm....did he not pick in the first round? - Will Hunting Aug 30, 13:05 2

      - *grin* - Will Hunting Aug 30, 13:07
"(Facebook friend) wishes Obama would just come out and admit he's a Muslim terrorist. We all know it anyway." - David Aug 30, 12:58 9

    - it is possible to have FB friends in places other than where you live. just sayin. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 13:03 1

- Facebook is so great! -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:58 3
  - You've done it. You've finally convinced me with your brilliant, very coherent, well-thought out critiques of Facebook. - con_carne Aug 30, 13:01 2
    - *beams* -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 13:04 1
      - And you should. All of your repetitiveness has been very productive after all, and it's not tiresome at all. -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 13:07

I swear, one of the most frustrating thing about being married is trying to figure out how to do laundry... - Stephen Aug 30, 12:53 28
- no you don't. just use the 1 detergent a few times on spouses clothes, and you will never do laundry again :)) -- nm - peglegpete Aug 30, 13:02
- laying out a flowchart doesn't sound like a bad idea -- nm - crash davis Aug 30, 12:56 1

- I am married and we still have one bottle. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:55 1
  - Yeah but you chose wisely -- nm - ceregon Aug 30, 13:02
- uh, I use one bottle. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:55
- huh. one of the awesomest things about being married is not having to figure out how to do laundry, i thought. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:54 15
  - "I put my new 49ers jersey in with the good white sheets. More efficient that way." -- nm - Sceire si Aug 30, 12:56 10
    - oh hell no, those and my Notre Dame jerseys get washed by hand, with love. -- nm - Stephen Aug 30, 12:57 9
      - Is "love" the detergent you're using? -- nm - David Aug 30, 12:59 1
        
        *thread ends* -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:59
      - By you. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:59
      - With an attitude like that, you'll always get stuck doing the laundry. -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 12:58 5
        
        uh, what attitude? - Stephen Aug 30, 13:00 3
        
        I think it's my initial si post that wasn't clear - it was a joke that you should do a bad job with the laundry so you don't have to do it any more. -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 13:05 2
        
        (and with an attitude like "I take care of my laundry", of course you're going to be stuck doing more laundry) -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 13:07 1
        
        ah...gotcha now - Stephen Aug 30, 13:10
        
        this -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:58

  - Some guys are just helpless that way. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:55 1
    - so are some chicks. - groiny Aug 30, 12:56
  - uh oh. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 12:55
- I'm married, and I still use one bottle of detergent -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 12:54 4
  - Word. And we have whites and non-whites. -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 12:56

  - me too. -- nm - sycor Aug 30, 12:55
Our film booker is a moron. We have 1 digital proj. current playing Despic. Me and Step Up both in 3D. We are dropping them this week to play Salt?! - sycor Aug 30, 12:52
Oh, that XBox Live increase is official, email from Micro$oft - budice Aug 30, 12:48 9
- Sidenote: I've seen 12-month cards at Costco for $34 not long ago. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 13:02
- so I guess Canadian prices won't go up because some of those services don't work here -- nm - J Aug 30, 12:57 1
  - according to this, yesa Canadian prices are also going up -- (link) - decline Aug 30, 13:03
- so we should all start looking for deals on the cards and buy at least one each. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 30, 12:53
- I want a gold membership that doesn't include any of the extras, just the ability to play multiplayer. Such crap. - Krusty Aug 30, 12:52 2
  - The whole thing is stupid. They'll take more of a PR hit than they'll make back in 2010 monies. -- nm - David Aug 30, 12:58
  - Agreed, but cheap cards wilil be out there. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:54
- *buys 2 years of cards on payday this week* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 12:51 1
  - M$ is paying their employees in Xbox Live cards. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Aug 30, 12:52
I;ve been around a few addicts and let tell ya, you'll never find one, active or recovered that doesn't smoke heavily - zeitgeist Aug 30, 12:48 24
- more of a last resort than a gateway, imho... -- nm - znufrii Aug 30, 12:51 1
  - Sounds right. I mean, would he be asking that question if they resorted to, say, overeating instead of smoking? -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 12:53
- I know a couple, at least.. one who smoked, too, but quit, another never smoked. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 12:50 15
  - right. its an asinine assertion. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:51 14
    - never, always, no one, everyone. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 12:52
    - asinine? I have no doubt that the smoking rate is very, very high. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:51 12
      - heh. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 12:52
      - "you'll never find one" -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:52 10
        
        just because he overstated it some, doesn't make it asinine. he exaggerated for emphasis. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:53 9
        
        Such is the zeitgeist way. -- nm - Stephen Aug 30, 12:55
        
        I disagree. frequently, the use of absolutes/broad-brushes is indeed asinine. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 12:54 7
        
        are you saying it's *always* asinine? - loosilu Aug 30, 12:57 6
        
        in this instance, i will vehemently disagree. to say that "you'll never find a recovered addict who doesn't smoke heavily"... - TFox Aug 30, 13:02 1
        
        fair enough. It's not as if anyone has any numbers here, anyway. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 13:03
        
        well, it usually is when you do it. - b. Aug 30, 13:02 3
        
        because it's natural. Because in real life it NEVER (hah) gets that negative reaction. - loosilu Aug 30, 13:05 2
        
        ok then, you'll just keep getting the response here from those of us for whom non-absolutes are the natural thing. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 13:06 1
        
        been happening for years. it seems to be a losing battle. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 13:09
- I don't know if it's the gateway drug ... there are millions of smokers who never touched an illegal drug. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:49 5
  - duh obvie, the point was tobacco makes you more suspepible to other addictions and i'm talking about serious addicts - zeitgeist Aug 30, 12:56 3
    - I disagree... I think you're talking about addictive personalities. If tobacco didn't exist they'd just go straight to the horse. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:58 1
      - the horse is the source, of course, of course -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 13:08
    - you're confusing correlation with causation... - znufrii Aug 30, 12:58
  - *raises hand* - Stephen Aug 30, 12:50
Does this video work for you guys? I thought it was pretty funny -- (link) - oblique Aug 30, 12:47
"I've got coupahns for the Dress Bahn and after that I'm going to the 99!!" - Lady That Screams In Diva's Cube Farm Aug 30, 12:45 3
- they gaht a wikked sale goin ahn -- nm - milky Aug 30, 12:56
- you mean the Cube Fahm? - loosilu Aug 30, 12:54 1
  - She was letting Best Buy have it all last week when they didn't deliver her washerd/dryer on time. -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 13:12
Is this addict in question a renter? Because I'm sure they are -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 12:43 4
- i had assumed no, because someone seemed to care if they lived or died. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:45 3
  - they're definitely not unemployed, then. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:48
  - Despite their anti-social and sloth-like ways, renters have at times shown tendencies to care for the well being of other renters. - National Geographic Aug 30, 12:47 1
    - yo, i don't usually just kill a man on a humbug... but you're saying if i do, i get this pack of Newports *and* free DVR service? -- nm - a renter Aug 30, 12:49
If you write a song about how much you don't care what critics/fans/non-fans/haters/ex-lovers think, it means you do. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 12:43 1
- wwwwwhhaaaaaaaat?! -- nm - all rappers Aug 30, 12:44
Weekend Movie: 8: The Mormon Proposition B (has one of the best quotes ever), Just Friends (re-watch) A - MDH Aug 30, 12:42 1

Will, Baron, Evil one -- nm - budice Aug 30, 12:38 2
- Kelly's pick is posted. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 12:39 1
  - Enjoy folks, see y'all in Round 3..(whenever that happens) -- nm - budice Aug 30, 12:42
Looking like I might want to move one 2nd rounder down. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 30, 12:34
I told you dudes, way back when, you shoulda taken my phone calls..... - Zippy the Chimp Aug 30, 12:34 2
- So fitting that the Zoo Crew DJ is the de facto voice of the Tea Party. -- nm - David Aug 30, 12:35
- heh -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:34
TFox, kelly, Baron, "Evil B---h" -- nm - budice Aug 30, 12:32 2
- That 1st round went better than I could have hoped. Very happy to not draft again for 3 rounds. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:41
- *swoon* you're doing it correctly!! -- nm - samara Aug 30, 12:37
define "lots". i think if a coke addict stops doing coke, but drinks and smokes some, then sure, they can be "clean". - TFox Aug 30, 12:26 23
- I'd have to say if someone is just doing lots of pot and alcohol, then they're "clean" - Loyola Aug 30, 12:42
- Not "clean" without context, no. -- nm - Dr.Vermin also unclean Aug 30, 12:30
- How many orgies can a sex addict cut down to in order to qualify as recovering? -- nm - David Aug 30, 12:27 2
  - 2 -- nm - David Duchovny Aug 30, 12:28 1
    - Oh, well played. -- nm - David Aug 30, 12:29
- if they are addicts, they are not clean. they are using -- nm - milky Aug 30, 12:27 17
  - sure, but they aren't pot addicts. they're coke addicts. and lots of people can drink or smoke without being addicted to either. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:28 16
    - addicts find their drug, be it coke, pot, alcohol. it's a pattern of behavior used as a defense mechanism to their psychological problems - milky Aug 30, 12:30 10
      - I've noticed on shows like Intervention that a lot of recovering addicts still smoke tobacco. I guess that doesn't count? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:32 5
        
        they're pretty much giving up enough already... - znufrii Aug 30, 12:34
        
        in my mind it probably still counts to some degree but if that's the worst you can get them down to, you probably take it - milky Aug 30, 12:34 1
        
        my only point is, the draw of coke is closer to the draw of nicotine than the escapism of alcoholism and marijuana. - TFox Aug 30, 12:37
        
        As I said on B2, legal vs illegal. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:34 1
        
        but they aren't considered "clean" if they still drink. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:34
      - i think that overgeneralizes the addict. that's not everyone. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:31 3
        
        someone with that behavior pattern usually can't use anything recreationally. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 12:33
        
        everyone else is not an "addict" if they can (and i do believe many can) use recreationally -- nm - milky Aug 30, 12:32
        
        I think it is more that you are undergeneralizing. It *is* most. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:32
    - They are still using it as a crutch to take the place of the other. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:29 4
      - Maybe. Maybe not. Like I said, it depends on the volume of the usage (to me). -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:30 3
        
        Let's say, every day, afterwork/5 days a week -- nm - flavorize Aug 30, 12:33 2
        
        with addicts, it's as much about the "why" of the usage as it is about the "how much" - milky Aug 30, 12:36
        
        What about weekends? If theya re not doing it on weekends, then they may be clean. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:34
The SFO radio station I listened to last week had Sublime's "What I Got" in regular rotation. In 2010. - ty97 Aug 30, 12:24 17
- Here's the sad thing it's probably not Sublime. Bret Michaels recorded a cover for his solo album, and it's his single. -- nm - MDH Aug 30, 12:31 4
  - It was definitely the Sublime version. - ty97 Aug 30, 12:33 2
    - Haha nice. And to Spawn below the producers did their best to make it sound very similar. -- nm - MDH Aug 30, 12:35 1
      - "Lipstick on a pig" comes to mind. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:36
  - And if someone can not tell the difference they need to have their ears removed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:32
- Like, a radio station at the airport? -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 12:29
- 105.3? -- nm - Stephen Aug 30, 12:28 3
  - 92.3 Technically, not certain if it was an SFO or SJC station -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 12:30 2
    - they used to be good, lately notsomuch. also, I saw on a waybb last week that you were hearing a lot of adam lambert... - b. Aug 30, 12:43
    - You just tainted this sample. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:31
- spamlet would be pleased -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 30, 12:27
- it's a staple of corporate playlists (alternative "Jack or whatever) - milky Aug 30, 12:26 4
  - That station was a bit repetitive (as radio is in general) playing the new Linkin Park and new Jimmy Eat World a ton. But Sublime was...odd. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 12:32 3
    - really, jack is just a corp slogan, they just play pop crap of the '80s -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 12:51
    - our alt rock station never took Sublime out of regular rotation. still there, always been there. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 12:46
    - oh, they definitely do the playlists thing. all of a sudden, something like the above will be in the rotation for days on end, then go away. -- nm - b. Aug 30, 12:45
- Thanks for the update. -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 12:25
Just realized - w/floating holiday I have 15 more paid days off this year. - Diva Aug 30, 12:24 2
- I read paid as laid - ty97 Aug 30, 12:25 1
  - for that I'd be shaking even harder. -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 12:29
