      - Now I understand LaRussa's motivation. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:46
      - whatever you do, don't get him started on Stern Lecture Plumbing -- nm - prayformojo Aug 30, 19:44

LIR - Stephen - Golumke soup is wonderful ... it's polish ... a very tasty paprika flavor with cabbage and meat and rice and I think maybe onions and - JenBro Aug 30, 19:27 20
- You lost me at cabbage! - Stephen Aug 30, 19:30 13
  - It's funny ... I don't generally mind cabbage - I don't seek it out though - but cole slaw, corned beef & cabbage, golumkes &/or golumke soup, sour - JenBro Aug 30, 19:35 1
    - cole slaw sounds good, everything else sounds yuk. Hate cooked cabbage. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:37

        let's assume I don't give a flying eff about Notre Dame. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:43

- This post would have made a fine board roll. *shakes head* -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:28 5
  - it's a horrible post for a roll - milky Aug 30, 19:30 4
    - I'm still perfecting my "firsts" - I think ideally they should reflect something in a witty fashion from the prior board's discussion when ever - JenBro Aug 30, 19:38 2
      - firsting is an art - milky Aug 30, 19:39
      - never bothered Jim. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:39
    - Shoo! -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:33

Man, if I was into religion, this weekend's spectacle would have me believe Beck was the anti-Christ. - Mop Aug 30, 19:14 21
- he's got a devil's haircut in my mind... -- nm - samara Aug 30, 19:25 3
  - dude, I had forgotten how much I love that CD. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:26 2

    - oh, oh! jacen learned a joke! and its hilarious to me, probably just because he's so cute. - TFox Aug 30, 19:31 1
      - ha!!! did you teach him the interrupting cow joke? It is a guaranteed hit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:38
- Bitch you betta reconize -- nm - Zippy the Chimp Aug 30, 19:20
- Honestly ... My first reaction to him is that he has gone insane. If he's not insane, then, theologically, he is completely, utterly screwed up. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:18 6
  - It's a Howard Stern act based in politics. Fox News gets artificial ratings from the hype, so Beck and them make more money. -- nm - David Aug 30, 19:21
  - He's Marilyn Manson. Fake crazy to make millions off of lost souls. -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:21 4
    - The thing is, I think he truly believes his own bullshit. I see no irony in his eyes. - loosilu Aug 30, 19:22 3
      - I was struck by the hugely different persona he's taken on since I watched him sometimes when he was on CNN. - b! Aug 30, 19:38 2
        
        I'm serious when I say I think he has a brain tumor. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:40 1
        
        rush limbaugh made a major persona change after he went national and got more attention. - b! Aug 30, 19:47
- Like the lady with the sign, I choose to believe all this fuss is about noted sixties guitarist and rock icon Jeff Beck -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 19:17 4
  - what about 90s alt rock icon Beck Hansen? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:19 3
    - Are you kidding? That would be silly. -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 19:20 2
      - Baby I'm a loser, so why don't you kill me? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:20 1
        
        ~soooy un perdidooor~ -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 19:21
I'm | | this close to just saying screw it and driving off with just my cat and leaving the rest of my stuff here. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 19:11 25

- okay. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 19:13
- seriously ... what would be the consequences? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:12 21
  - I'd probably lose my deposit. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 19:12 20
    - a few years ago, a guy i know wanted to get rid of everything, he had a "yard giveaway" (instead of a yard sale.) - Andie Aug 30, 19:14 1
      - I love this. My best friend did this years ago when she was about to go live in Africa for a year. She invited all her friends to her goodby party - loosilu Aug 30, 19:28
    - is it such a big deal? I always assume I'll lose mine. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:14 17
      - If you live in one of those mega corp complexes, the deposit is only the beginning, they will come after you for all kinds of inflated costs. - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:22 5
        
        they can't really come after you. When I worked for my dad's law practice he did collections for a big apartment complex. It's not worth it for - loosilu Aug 30, 19:26 4
        
        read the contracts, collection and legal fees are added on to the amount owed -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:36 3
        
        these days they'll come after anyone. - zork Aug 30, 19:39 1
        
        ok, your mistake was co-signing. But realistically speaking, if someone is broke, it is not worth the legal fees. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:44
        
        oh, and they report to the credit agency, heck the only way to get in those places is to have a good credit rating. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 19:37
      - The carpet is going to have to be cleaned this time for sure. (stupid cat) -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 19:16 2
        
        to hell with it, then. Leave whatever you want. They can't do anything to you. - loosilu Aug 30, 19:21 1
        
        they can charge you cleaning and disposal charges and send it to a collection agency which will show on your credit report -- nm - zork Aug 30, 19:33
      - really? i have never paid a penny for damages in my life. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 19:14 7
        
        hmmm, I think I have gotten it back most of the time. Might have been one or two times I didn't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:23
        
        I always assume the deposit is lost and if I get anything back, it's a bonus. - David Aug 30, 19:20 2
        
        Hmmm. I've rented so many places in so many cities, I am really not sure. I do believe there are local trends. - loosilu Aug 30, 19:30
        
        That is my thought also. - amoxy Aug 30, 19:22
        
        i have very rarely gotten mine back in full, but i've never lost the whole thing either. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 19:15
        
        in maryland, i got mine back with interest -- nm - milky Aug 30, 19:15 1
        
        we don't really pay a 'deposit' but we pay last month's rent in advance and you are responsible for damages. - Andie Aug 30, 19:17
damn you, wrong element. - TFox Aug 30, 19:10 2
- sperm milkshake? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 19:14 1
  - I don't think TFox hates milkshakes. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 30, 19:22
Sceire, Nudie, amoxy -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 19:10 4

- time to douche again - milky Aug 30, 19:11
- You really only need to be concerned if your daughter starts talking about her new friend "Jody" nm - ralph wiggum Aug 30, 19:10
- Did the basement get completely dried out? -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 19:10 3
  - flies need something to eat. Moisture alone shouldn't do ti. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:12 1
    - I know I was just expressing a concern -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 19:14
  - I am fairly certain. - groiny Aug 30, 19:11
- That means one thing: carcass nearby. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:09
- Stop shitting on your carpet -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:09
- bury the bodies deeper -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 19:09
These are the Tates and these are the Campbells - eag Aug 30, 19:07
TFox, most of us panicked you'd come back. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 19:05 10
- he was gone? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:06 6
  - This is my question as well. How long? -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:07 5
    - four days! according to the rules of pixiewatch, there should have been friggin search parties. - TFox Aug 30, 19:08 4
      - you told us you were going away. -- nm - b! Aug 30, 19:36
      - I knew it, znu was pontificating and strutting around like he owned the place. -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 19:11
      - your mistake was not flouncing off dramatically. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:10 1
        
        i've never done this -- nm - milky Aug 30, 19:18
- Don't worry, the woods made me very calm and serene. - TFox Aug 30, 19:06 2
  - Looking for the Blair Witch? -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 19:07
  - any chance we can get you to go back? -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 19:07
The last 5 minutes of The Closer was teriffic (spoiler) - prayformojo Aug 30, 19:05
Jenbro!! -- nm - I'm Bacon Aug 30, 19:03 3
- This board needs her Care Bear Stare to blast the unpleasantness away. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 19:04 2
