- sriracha -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:52

    - *adds 1 to Jax's column* -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 08:47 7
      - 3 now. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 08:47 6
        
        It doesn't count nested replies with another user in between, only direct self-replies. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:49 5
        
        Really? Wow, I do find that hard to believe then. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 08:57 4
        
        I could output a list of URLs to all 925 instances, you could tell me if there was a glitch :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:58 3
        
        I post too much anyway, I'm sure over the years it's added up. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 08:59 2
        
        Yep. I could do stats for september, if you want :) - Beryllium Sep 17, 09:01 1
        
        At least Pippy is in my top 10. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 17, 09:02
    - You probably make a ton of grammatical errors and self-correct. That's it. -- nm - oblique Sep 17, 08:45 1

- You bet Mr. Loosi?! -- nm - lileve Sep 17, 09:03 1
  - bet=beet -- nm - lileve Sep 17, 09:03
- Checks list again...nope...Spawn's not on there. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:49 5
  - loosi's not on spawn's top 10 repliers list, either -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:50 4
    - I bet David is pretty high up on that list. nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:52 3
      - David is 4th. Chris, me, and Remlik are the top 3 (in descending order). You aren't in the top 10. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:52 2
        
        heh, pixie is Spawn's stalker -- nm - crash davis Sep 17, 08:54

    - damnit man, I want my ST ad hoc report writer. get on it! :) - oblique Sep 17, 08:43 5
      - *smack* It's almost as though you've been working in corporate software development or something. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:44 4
        
        *puts on open source hat* Really you need a SOAP API with jQuery support - oblique Sep 17, 08:45 3
        
        f*** SOAP. f*** it in the bunghole. - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:45 2
        
        OGG! - oblique Sep 17, 08:46 1
        
        This may be the geekiest sub-thread in history. - pmb Sep 17, 08:56
    - That must be you posting, then someone responding then you responding to that still being grouped as a response to you, right? -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 17, 08:42 2
      - no, just direct self-responses. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:43
      - no, dude talks to himself all the time -- nm - crash davis Sep 17, 08:43
i'm much more aggravated that i'll give a lifetime of stupid wedding presents and will never, ever get any in return....nm - xi Sep 17, 08:37 3
- Um...do you have to have a wedding to have a "gifts-required" reception? -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:49
- *buys xi a case of yacht club to celebrate his long-term non-marriedness* -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:38 1
  - "as i have attended all your weddings in the past and will never have a ceremony of my own, i will accept either gifts or cash in return"....nm - xi Sep 17, 08:41
Weekend plans? Hopefully go see The Town tonight. Carolina Hurricanes carnival tomorrow. Watch them practice, get autographs etc. Art festival - HdnAgnda Sep 17, 08:36 13
- Ween tonight in Central Park, concert tomorrow, J moves to Philly on Sunday. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:49 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - none in the short term - znufrii Sep 17, 08:52 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Ummm...the same way I've done for most of the past 9 years I've been here, or for that matter the 15 years I've been on the East Coast? - znufrii Sep 17, 09:03
- [deleted]
- Chilling tonight, trying to feel better. TIFF matinee tomorrow, maybe. 5K on Toronto Island on Sunday. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:47
- watch the new polanski on dvd, read, farmer's market/cooking, barcelona-atletico madrid, jets-pats, test out the new audubon preserve in town....nm - xi Sep 17, 08:44
- I have Abby all day by myself tomorrow-so, if you all could scrape together to finance a quick 1-day trip down to Disneyworld, she'd think that grand. - prayformojo Sep 17, 08:38 2
  - OPEN THE ATTIC! -- nm - oblique Sep 17, 08:44 1
    - WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! -- nm - lileve Sep 17, 08:46

- A cookout after the baptism of a good friend's daughter on Sunday. Probably a lot of nothing other than that. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:37
Poll: Go to "your stats". Who responds to you the most? - loosilu Sep 17, 08:29 24
- loosi and groiny as of late -- nm - MDH Sep 17, 08:48
- 1 Zork, 2 Jax, 3 Bery. -- nm - lileve Sep 17, 08:43
- [deleted] 1
  - that means that you are a prince among posters -- nm - prayformojo Sep 17, 08:36
- system load is currently too high. - znufrii Sep 17, 08:30 19
  - [deleted] 15
    - go to "your stats". Read your stats. - loosilu Sep 17, 08:33 13
      - "the most" would require scanning 50,000 posts for hundreds of thousands of replies ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:34 4
        
        It's really just a simple SQL statment :) - oblique Sep 17, 08:36 1
        
        well, no, it requires a join, but it's relatively simple, yes -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:39
        
        fine. the most *in the posts listed* -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:35 1
        
        Go to Jack's question. "read" the question. -- nm - Max Sep 17, 08:39
      - So I have to go through all of my responses and tally up who responded to me the most? -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:34 5
        
        no, it's conveniently listed at the bottom of the page. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:35 4
        
        Not on mine, it's not. I get the people that most recently responded to me. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:36 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Same here -- nm - amoxy Sep 17, 08:37
        
        the most recent 20 are listed, yes -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:36
      - My page doesn't contain that information -- nm - oblique Sep 17, 08:34 1
        
        indeed. But it might in the future. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:35
    - Word. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:33
  - If there are any unix-aware people around, the load is 3.68 right now ... heheh -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:31 2
    - (And it's looking more and more like I need to fix that page. It does too much on-demand right now, it should be pre-calculating data aggregations) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:32
    - hahahaha....nm - xi Sep 17, 08:32
I don't see the issue with the monetary request on the invite. Bottom line, people give gifts at weddings. We all know that. - Jim Sep 17, 08:28 3
- I read the message as little more than a heads up. "Given the tradition, it would be likely that people would want to give gifts. - Max Sep 17, 08:56
- This is my take too. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:29
- precisely. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 08:29
it doesn't say "no one gets in without a cash donation". - Reagen Sep 17, 08:28 30
- it does however imply that a gift is expected... - znufrii Sep 17, 08:30 13
  - a gift *is* expected. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:34 12
    - understanding that people are going to give you gifts is not the same as expecting them to. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:35
    - absolutely not. it never should be. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:34 10
      - you know how many people would be thrilled if they left their wedding and there were zero gifts? - TFox Sep 17, 08:35 9
        
        Oh, plenty of people would be thrilled so long as they had already been delivered to their home. - Ender Sep 17, 08:38 1
        
        yeah, I never bring a gift to the actual wedding. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:39
        
        and even if that is the case, it's still impolite to communicate that expectation to your guests. -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:36 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        exactly. - znufrii Sep 17, 08:44 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        huh? -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:45
        
        then they are jerks. Gifts are *never* required. all etiquette books are crystal clear on this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:36 1
        
        luckily, no one ever required a gift. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:36
- that's not the point. As Andie said, it's fine for them to tell people they prefer cash, if asked. But not on the invite. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:29 15
  - The only way to stop people from brining 17 toasters is to put it on the invite. Very few will call them and ask what they want/need. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:32 1
    - related: Out of all my friends/family who got married, I do not know anyone who got a single toaster. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:33
  - I'd prefer it on the invite, rather than a note later saying the same thing. -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 08:31 12
    - you men are etiquette heathens. You don't get a note later. You ask them directly (or their family or friends) what they prefer. -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:32 11
      - no one actually does this. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 08:33 4
        
        your wife does, of course. - loosilu Sep 17, 08:34 2
        
        no, we had like, five people ask where we were registered. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 08:35 1
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:37
        
        also, this. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:33
      - Sure...because leading up to my wedding, there's nothing I want more than 200 phone calls asking me what I want. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:33 1
        
        Of course, we included the info in our invitation, and still had to deal with phone calls. Often secondhand too. -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 08:44
      - etiquette is dumb. someone needs to write a book of practicality, and then follow that shit. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:33 1
        
        [deleted]
      - the reason i always give cash is i know it will never be unwanted. but i still don't like to see gift requests in writing. -- nm - Andie Sep 17, 08:33
      - Or if the couple wants to be proactive, they ask people (parents, bridesmaids, etc.) to spread the word on their behalf... -- nm - znufrii Sep 17, 08:33
Want to see the new Freakanomics movie? -- (link) - znufrii Sep 17, 08:28
There's a part of me that wants to make a bet that Moss has more receiving yards than Sanchez has passing yards. - TFox Sep 17, 08:25 11
- I like the stat that I saw today that Denard Robinson from Michigan currently has more total yards than 87 of the 120 Division I schools. -- nm - pmb Sep 17, 08:31
- I think that will happen. Reavis is not 100% (hamstring) and Moss wants to bust his ass - amoxy Sep 17, 08:30 5
  - [deleted] 3
    - wait for it. its going to look like a nasty game of Bejeweled Blitz on that scoreboard. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:35 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I believe in the truthiness of my statement. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:39
  - Revis Island is going to look like Atlantis by Monday morning./ -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:32
- the thing you posted about over the defensive line being too far made me chuckle for half an hour -- nm - crash davis Sep 17, 08:27 1
  - if i were so inclined to make a humor Twitter feed, i'd have a hard time picking between #renterthoughts and #marksanchezsarm. -- nm - TFox Sep 17, 08:31
- If you said Welker, I might agree with you. -- nm - Jim Sep 17, 08:27 1
  - If I could do it as "any Pats receiver", I'd make it in a heartbeat. - TFox Sep 17, 08:28
I know you've always wanted to hear a Dolly Parton/JayZ mashup. I know it. -- (link) - Reagen Sep 17, 08:25
here we go, Canadian David versus Goliath -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 17, 08:24
*taking cash donations* -- nm - loosilu Sep 17, 08:24 1
