Subscription to WIRED magazine for $3.99. Was posted within the hour, so not sure if still available or not. -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 7, 08:01
this story is sad, yet at the same time it shows the true strength of someone. - tRuMaN Sep 7, 07:56 5
- All that pain and loss, because some drunk-ass druggie chick decided to change her sweater while driving a Chevy Blazer. - Beryllium Sep 7, 08:40
- wow. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:58 3
  - Disappointed overshare - oblique Sep 7, 08:00 2
    - possibly - tRuMaN Sep 7, 08:06
    - Plus her memories of the crash itself may be a little skewed and I don't think what he did or didn't do can be accurately reproduced down to the secon -- nm - mara Sep 7, 08:03
YDC: I may day trip to Niagra Falls one day this weekend. - ty97 Sep 7, 07:50 11
- Maid of the Mist! -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 07:52 7
  - ummmm.....huh? -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 07:56 5
    - There's no point going to see the Falls if you don't do this. -- nm - Roger More Sep 7, 08:23
    - First, you're going to need a chiffon dress and a spray bottle -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 08:01
    - its a boat. the boat goes up close to the falls. shit gets mad real. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:57
    - Did you watch The Office marriage episode? -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 07:57 1
      - I've never watched The Office (other tan catching snippets in passing) -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 08:08

- is this hockey? making cakes? -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 07:50
- so...you loved doing it? -- nm - ty97 Sep 7, 07:50 1
  - it was better than sitting through a combined 6 hours of flight delays at the airport, but only just... -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 07:52
borderlands: free dlc/update will give you 8 more levels to attain - tRuMaN Sep 7, 07:49 3

- Heh. 69. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:51 1

[deleted] 4
- me i'd pick the guy that'll boost ratings 30-40% too....nm - xi Sep 7, 07:50 2
  - though IIRC, the ratings were just as strong the last time he didn't play. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 08:01 1
    - i'm just going by the summer's ratings with tiger out of contention, which pretty much have the pga in a panic.... - xi Sep 7, 08:18
- of course -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 07:47
[deleted] 1
- I don't think either of them should lose it. Were they the best players in the country or not? - Jim Sep 7, 07:47
[deleted] 29
- I might not say this right. Either one needs to move closer or they need to break up. -- nm - lileve Sep 7, 08:55
- eh, more of my close friends here are straight taken females than males. I wouldn't have a problem with it. - mafic Sep 7, 07:58 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - that's actually pretty good. I still think unsustainable if there's no end in sight, but pretty good. -- nm - mafic Sep 7, 08:06
    - that's some major frequent flier miles there... -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 08:03 1
      - Yeah, not exactly a carbon-nuetral relationship. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 08:05
- If he's not going to be there to take care of her social needs in the relationship, she's going to look elsewhere for the time being. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 07:46
- It's a fine line to tread, that's for sure. What does "hanging out" entail? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:44 6
  - [deleted] 4
    - she does, however, get a ton of credit for being up front about it and telling him all about it. - TFox Sep 7, 07:48 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Yep. I think his fears are understandable. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:52
        
        yes it does. and if he does in fact get attached and make a play... well... - TFox Sep 7, 07:50
  - Twister, body shots, Truth or Dare, the usual hetro-friend things :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 07:45
- He definitely wants to see her naked. She's likely either shopping for a new boyfriend or just likes the attention. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 7, 07:41
- It's also not normal for a married/taken woman to have her SO be that far away for three years, so the normal rules don't fully apply. - TFox Sep 7, 07:41 13
  - [deleted] 12
    - well, it'd probably happen less. -- nm - mafic Sep 7, 08:07
    - Oh wait, so they're currently living in different cities? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:46 1
      - [deleted]
    - His argument is 100% correct imo... but that would necessitate one or the other biting the bullet and joining the other. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:43 8
      - [deleted] 2
        
        i figured, which means (to an extent) they are both choosing career over each other, and if that ends up breaking things from time to time... - TFox Sep 7, 07:46 1
        
        [deleted]
      - or, in other words: people need actual relationships, with people who they share commonalities with and can relate to on a simple day-to-day level. - TFox Sep 7, 07:45 4
        
        I agree with TFox. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 07:47 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        who wouldn't? -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 08:05
        
        its because i wrote "commonalities", isn't it? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:48

- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest...B, maybe B+? - Kim Pine Sep 7, 07:47
- Ummm......She's Outta My League (B+), Book of Eli (D).....some others that slip my mind. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 7, 07:43
- 11:14 - C - Tried to be smarter than it was. Not a bad movie though -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 07:41
- Finished up watching Dead Snow (B-), first two episodes of Ken Burns' National Parks (B). - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:40
- Danielle Harris grew up to gain membership in the club of "implausibly hot daughters of Bruce Willis". -- (link) - Reagen Sep 7, 07:40 3
  - And yet his own daughter...well, she's spunky! -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 07:47
  - So that's who that chick was in Psych. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 07:44
  - too bad she isnt on any shows anyone watches -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 7, 07:42
- Steal this Movie (C+), Leviathan (C), Last Night (B). -- nm - Don Homer Sep 7, 07:39
- Talk to Her, A- -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 07:39
- "touch me again I'll kill ya" such a great movie awesome quotes too -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 07:37 1
  - I almost ruptured my hernia at "We're getting beat up by the inventor of Scrabble!" -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:39
- er, B. I might have gotten a wee carried away there. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:37 2
  - It's an A- for me. Shane Black writes awesome action movies, imo. -- nm - Inigo Sep 7, 07:40 1
    - The writing was an A. The direction was a little dicey. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 07:41
[deleted] 12
- pretty unsurprising and i'm sure apple doesn't care. all they really want are the high profit margin folks....nm - xi Sep 7, 07:39 5
  - I do think it's getting to Jobs a little judging by the pissy little comments he's making. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 07:42 2
    - perhaps. but this has always been his preferred strategy....nm - xi Sep 7, 07:46 1
      - Yes, pissy little comments have always been his preferred strategy, I agree. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 7, 08:36
  - "I don't care." - Apple Sep 7, 07:41
  - Elitist! -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 7, 07:40
- the "don't make cats homeless" ad campaign really struck a chord. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 07:34
- I find the low RIM share interesting since I think they have the share lead in actual smartphones. Guess BB users just use them a lot more for e-mail than web. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 07:33
- I love my Droid Phone. Love it! - I'm Bacon Sep 7, 07:31 3
  - I have the same phone. The new one is the Samsung Epic, right? - JaxSean Sep 7, 07:35 1
    - Ah I didn't know the name changed for the 4G version. Could be that one. -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 7, 07:36
  - Oh the reason. I like the touch screen like the iphone. But I need to also have the slide out qwerty board. - I'm Bacon Sep 7, 07:32
Jenbro where are you? -- nm - I'm Bacon Sep 7, 07:28
