"Why didn't you tell us what 'VD' meant?!" *NM* - Ender Sep 2, 20:20
This one is for TFox *raises glass of Stone IPA* - JD Sep 2, 20:09 7
- i welcome your blame. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 20:12
- heh. Stone is good but I like Dogfish 90 better. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 20:09 5
  - I agree with both loosi and TFox. - ReluctantCynic Sep 2, 20:16
  - even if it was better (it isn't), 90 runs $9-10 a *four* pack. - TFox Sep 2, 20:13 1
    - *and* if you're going to skip past the 60 to the 90, then i can skip past the regular ipa to ruination. - TFox Sep 2, 20:18
  - Dogfish 90 is my guy's favorite. I still don't like IPAs, myself. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 20:13

- wha? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 20:03
- I did too! But what does it do? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 2, 19:59 6
  - Tries to assign priority to your mail based and show those at the top and then group anything you star below that and then the rest - oblique Sep 2, 20:04 5
    - that sounds annoying. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 20:08 3
      - I get alot of different stuff in my inbox so it's kinda busy. But yeah, for the average person with just a few emails, not so much -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 20:18 1
        
        Also, I rock filters enough that there's little getting missed by me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 2, 20:23

      - better yet, send spies to the shows. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 20:02
- hmm. I dunno if it's ever even happened. -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 19:24 1
  - I'm sure there are low level dress people taping the show and making knock off's of some of the dresses....also spoiler from tonight - peglegpete Sep 2, 19:26

    - It was in Bremerton for years. -- nm - the liioulu with left pedal Sep 2, 18:37 8

        why'd it have to be towed? -- nm - loosilu Sep 2, 18:39 6
