  - even better are the google docs proselytizers i work with. they think it's the greatest thing ever and are always appalled when i tell them.... - xi Sep 10, 07:36 4
    - I love Google Docs, but yeah, I've *never* been able to get anyone else to consider using it. They really just don't get web apps, as you said - oblique Sep 10, 07:40 2
      - yeah, i think it's a good product too. but most people have office or some such preinstalled and couldn't be bothered....nm - xi Sep 10, 07:42 1
        
        It's mostly the document sharing for me but people are just so used to emailing docs around -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 07:43

- *nods* I was hoping for more from Bush also on the return side -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 07:21 3
  - I actually benched Bush this week in favor of starting Shiancoe. That's right, the rarely seen fantasy 2 TE set. -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 10, 07:29
  - we could all use more Bush. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 07:22 1
    - We have Bush!! -- nm - Booger si Sep 10, 07:43
Oooh, well this thank you e-mail I just got is definitely going in my 'Notable' e-mail folder for use at review time. -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 10, 07:17 2

- When you call her have Jonny Cash playing in the background -- nm - decline Sep 10, 07:24
- Seriously? -- nm - mara Sep 10, 07:15 1
  - I'm clueless what the note means, but it can't mean actual prison. -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 07:19
- Wow. Maybe we should clear a posting path for ML? -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 10, 07:10
- That's hilarious. Did your mother and brother ever settle things? -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 07:09 2
  - One day a couple of weeks later, Mom just started to him like nothing happened. - ty97 Sep 10, 07:11 1
    - That's good. Sometimes just letting it go is best. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 07:13

I'm going to go ahead and say the Airborne put off being sick, but inevitably did not succeed in preventing it overall. -- nm - Qale Sep 10, 06:42 5
- I've never found it to be preventative but it does seem to reduce the severity/length for me -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 07:00 4
  - that placebo effect is a wonderful thing....nm - xi Sep 10, 07:08 2
    - I'm fine with it either way. It's the same reason I drive on the interstate vs back roads to work. It feels faster even though they both take about - oblique Sep 10, 07:18 1
      - Exactly. I've tried to convince myself that green M&M's will prevent me from getting sick. -- nm - Dano Sep 10, 07:31
  - I think this is a mostly accurate description of what's happened. I'm 5 days out from Con. I so would have been doomed sooner without. - Qale Sep 10, 07:07

- I shall call her... Mini-me -- nm - Rihanna Sep 10, 06:37
- Jay-Z signed her. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 10, 06:33
- I like the verses a lot. The hook is horrible and WAY too long. -- nm - Jim Sep 10, 06:29 1
  - Yeah "I whip my hair" is the worst line, but the verses crush it. -- nm - MDH Sep 10, 06:30

Normally when my wife tells me I forgot to do something, it's true. But I take a little bit of pleasure those times I can say "oh no, I sent you that - oblique Sep 10, 06:12 1

I know you are dying to know this: I smell pretty good today. ginger orange soap that left my skin kind of slimy so I rewashed with honey soap. - chromanda Sep 10, 06:11 10
- and how do you look? jeans? -- nm - Max Sep 10, 06:38 2

  - Flaky? -- nm - Don Draper Sep 10, 06:33
  - should it not be whispered? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 06:32 1
    - Sort of. In the tone of muttering to yourself a phrase like "I can't believe I lost my checkcard again." -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 07:12
- Semi-related. I have a new favorite shirt that my wife wears...and I bought it for her. It's a pink T from a local cupcake shop with brown lettering - HdnAgnda Sep 10, 06:29

B2: Media bias! -- (link) - Strongbad Sep 10, 05:02 3
- This isn't the counter I would have expected. - ty97 Sep 10, 06:08 1
  - yeah, I'd rather see the totals for just the news employees. - Kim Pine Sep 10, 06:40
- *shrug* it's an opinion piece. I'm sure they've also slanted that article to meet their requirements as well. - JaxSean Sep 10, 05:58
Way to start out the year. I had the Saints at -5.5 and they win 14-9. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 10, 04:59 6
- Was 14-9 the final score? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 05:44 4
  - No, they won 14-9 but the final score was different -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 05:59 3
    - I didn't know if that was some "spread" thing. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 06:08 1
      - ETERNAL FLAME!!!!! - groiny Sep 10, 06:57
    - People always forget about the Favre Bonus. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 06:08

I audibly gasped when I saw it was Ryan Phillippe's birthday. - nubby Sep 10, 04:58
@sportsguy33 I am staring at Chris Berman's mustache the same way stoners stare at fish tanks. This is ESPN's biggest addition in years. -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 04:40
I haven't checked Slick Deals for a while, but the top deal today is almost irristable. 46" Toshiba 46G300U 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV--$623.00 -- (link) - Trish Sep 10, 04:40

Happy Friday!! -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 04:11
Disgusting media move of the day: "Swift Justice with Nancy Grace" - wasn't America founded to get *away* from kangaroo courts like that? :) -- nm - Beryllium (laptop) Sep 10, 00:11 3
- if only someone could invent a "remote conrol" that would allow people to change the channel if desired.....nm - xi Sep 10, 03:08
- she doesn't actually get to push the button, its just sitting in judgement like any gossip circle in a neighborhood or talk show of millions -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 01:12 1
  - Unless your name is Melinda Duckett -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 06:10
Is ST familiar with weeklycinema.com? If you still go to movies in theaters, it may be worth checking out. - David Sep 9, 23:50 4
- Shame it's just Fandango, all my local theaters use movietickets.com -- nm - Ender Sep 10, 06:38
- Interesting. I don't like how they don't accumulate, though. 4 tickets on Fandango for $20 is a pretty good deal. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 06:33 1
  - Though they're good for 90 days after redeemed, so you could conceivably have up to 12 available at any given time. - Ender Sep 10, 06:40
- whoa, movies in theaters? what do you think we are, luddites....nm - xi Sep 10, 03:09
Chris Klein is a very bad actor -- (link) - amoxy Sep 9, 23:28 5
- To be fair, "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is hardly Shakespeare to begin with. -- nm - Ender Sep 10, 06:21
- your link title is how he keeps getting rolls me thinks -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 04:52
- Horrible, almost beyond compare -- nm - Facto Sep 9, 23:43
- He's still a working actor? After seeing that he should find some other line of work, that was terrible. -- nm - Krusty Sep 9, 23:40
- He lived in my neighborhood in Venice for years. Used to see him all the time. -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 23:31
i don't get it. in this episode of Superman, Clark Kent is actually *participating* in the kidnapping of dumb Jimmy and Lois! - bugsy Sep 9, 23:15
Krusty, that's why I didn't want to paint with too broad a brush :) - Stephen Sep 9, 23:11 7
- I didn't think you were, I just felt like throwing my 2 cents in. :-) - Krusty Sep 9, 23:18 6
  - That's what Tums are for! heh - Stephen Sep 9, 23:30 1
    - Mmm...strawberry flavord chalk. - Krusty Sep 9, 23:38
  - I listen to talk radio and watch MSNBC. I figure the crazy starts balancing out after that. -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 23:24 3
    - HOW DARE YOU SIR -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 23:50
    - I used to watch Olbermann daily but he's a bit too nutty for me. His baseball blog is good reading, his show not so much. - Krusty Sep 9, 23:29 1
      - Love Rachael, watch her when i can. I will still watch Olbermann on occasion, not as much as I used to - amoxy Sep 9, 23:31
I know this is just nitpickey, but San Bruno is not a suburb of San Francisco. -- nm - Stephen Sep 9, 23:05 8
- quick how many songs can you come up with with san bruno in the lyrics or name -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 23:11 4
  - Well, there's I Left My Heart in San Bruno, San Bruno Blues, Save Me San Bruno, oh, and We Built This City was totally about San Bruno -- nm - Stephen Sep 9, 23:20 3
    - Don't ignore the liberal hippy folky side: And all the houses on the hillside, all made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 23:44
    - :) - -- nm - b! Sep 9, 23:25
    - Hee! -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 23:23
- what do you think it is then? 'cause I'd totally say suburb. -- nm - b! Sep 9, 23:08 2
  - I guess technically i'm incorrect. - Stephen Sep 9, 23:16 1
    - Technically San Fran could be called a suburb of San Jose now, as I'll bet a lot more commute to jobs down there than come up to SF to work -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 23:46
i wait in this place where the sun never shines, i wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 23:04
Postcards from Hollywood. -- nm - Facto Sep 9, 23:04 5
