- She has *webbed toes.* -- nm - Dr. Hibbert Oct 1, 13:48 1
  - DEVIL! -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 13:55
- no. Writing with it would be hard. Picking it up is easy. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 13:47 1
  - that's what I thought until I tried. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 13:48
- Not in my house. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:46 3
  - your pencils are sticky? -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 13:47 2

    - (Although I'll admit that I wouldn't really want to write with it, either way ... :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 13:48

- sorry life is given you this crap right now to deal with. -- nm - ty97 Oct 1, 13:45 2
  - well, it *has* been building for some time (dad, for example) ... - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 1, 13:54 1
    - for her, remember that it's not about Muse. and again, I'm really sorry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 14:00

- Don't walk. - Spawn Oct 1, 13:41

- " " " " " " " " " " -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:36
I love my Apple Airport express for music streaming but it is kind finicky as an access point -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 13:34 3
- Can it be used as a repeater? -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 13:36 2
  - It just kinda flakes out once in a while. I need to probably just let it handle music and printer duties and get a new AP that's more reliable -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 13:37 1
    - I was thinking of using it as a wireless adapter. Have my xbox 360 plugged into it. -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 13:38
I could see PSHoffman as The Lizard more than I can see him as Venom. -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 13:32 13
- this Spiderman reboot is the stupiest thing ever -- nm - Jovian Oct 1, 13:49
- Yeah, I don't see him as Venom at all -- nm - Stephen Oct 1, 13:38
- I know. I can't really see him taking it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 13:34 10
  - he'd be a great Doc Ock. -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 13:35 9
    - he would. and i realize this is a reboot, but I loved Molina so much as Ock before. - Diva Oct 1, 13:36 7
      - I like him but disliked him as Ock. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:43
      - I really can't wrap my head around a reboot of Spiderman. It's so ludicrous. 200*2*. WTF, Sony? -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 1, 13:40 5
        
        It's ridiculous. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 1, 13:49
        
        Hey, if we can reboot The Punisher every other ye... oh. right. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 13:43 2

Lesson of the day: Don't let people use your USB memory stick. For the past hour I have been recovering the data on the now corrupt drive. - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 1, 13:32 4
- he might not have "ejected" the stick. that can corrput them pretty easily from what I've been reading about the WDTV I got. -- nm - sycor Oct 1, 13:46
- I thought this was kind of basic. You gotta be careful where ou stick your stick. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 13:35 2
  - Gay guys are good about protecting their sticks. Us straight dudes, we jam them wherever we want without protection. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 1, 13:36 1
    - Sadly, I think this is becoming less true. -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 13:38
28614 -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 13:29 9
- well said -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 1, 13:31
- how many posts have elapsed until someone asks you what the hell you are doing? -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 13:30 7
  - Go to the link and type in the Konami code -- (link) - lileve Oct 1, 13:31
  - unicorns - oblique Oct 1, 13:31 4
    - linky dinky do -- (link) - oblique Oct 1, 13:31 [Backboard] 3
      - what is the konami code and where specifically do I enter it? (i'm obtuse) -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 13:41 2
        
        Click on a blank spot on the page. Use arrows: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, then hit B and then A -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 13:44 1
        
        Bah, I can't make it work. I blame my work network. - Dr.Vermin Oct 1, 13:56
  - Wasn't znu the last? I figure it is Facebook game scores. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:30
Oh, also there was a longer True Grit trailer before The Social Network than there is online. Very good with more story. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 13:23 3
- have they changed the story? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 1, 13:26 2
  - The scene where Rooster Cogburn tweeted about chasing a fugitive seemed like an odd change. -- nm - Dano Oct 1, 13:32 1
    - totally unrealistic IMHO - Danedukenuuk Oct 1, 13:34
DMWinterVacation/Honeymoon: Looking for a good resort to go to this February... Suggestions? Suggestions for websites to start looking? - Name Withheld By Request Oct 1, 13:21 9
- we really liked the dreams resort in neuvo vallarta. it was less than $2000 for both of us, all inclusive, including air, for a week - kare Oct 1, 14:05 1
  - thru us airways vacations, by the way. i've found consistently good vacation packages through those guys over the past couple of years. -- nm - kare Oct 1, 14:05
- Jamaica Super Clubs (they have 3 resorts, the package we got was cheaper cause they sent us to the emptiest) was great for our Honeymoon -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 13:57
- check out the Dominican Republic. Cheaper than Mexico. Punta Cana is the nicest beach. - Andie Oct 1, 13:48 1
  - ooh, good to know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 13:51
- Mexico has many resorts geared toward couples. Either coast. -- nm - loosilu Oct 1, 13:46
- Nowhere on your list do I see "potential for making dozens of FFB trades". -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 1, 13:29 1
  - February....Not August. (And it's almost time to start harassing people during the season. Starting to know what we do and don't have.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 1, 13:37
- You should vay-cay with Guy. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:23
I hate to say it, but I just may have to give up on The Avengers main title. - Stephen Oct 1, 13:18 5
- hate the art, way too many Avenger titles. -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 13:50
- Hmm. Might be my fav of the group. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:24
- I like New, Secret, Prime and Avengers...can't stand Academy -- nm - Remlik Oct 1, 13:20 1
  - I think New is my favorite so far, followed by Secret (though I didn't care for the art work of #5), Prime (though the artwork has been hit or miss in - Stephen Oct 1, 13:23
- mmm Diana Rigg -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 1, 13:20
Halo note, while it is true, Spawn and I won a doubles game last night.... - groiny, in a sheet Oct 1, 13:14 13
- heh. Did you look at the stats? I did not realize they kept track of kill/death distances. As you noted, I am a brawler. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:16 9
  - which is a bad bad habit to have in halo -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 1, 13:18 8
    - Not necessarily -- nm - Griff Ball Oct 1, 13:23 1
      - Yeah, my sword kills brought the average down a bit. Camo Armor + Sword = Spawn Heaven. Today I finally learned the sword location on that map. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:26
    - Depends on the map/game. - Spawn Oct 1, 13:22 5
      - not really. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 1, 13:27 4
        
        I am consistently better on indoor maps. My close quarter skills are improving much faster than range. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:30 3
        
        indoor maps take some stuff out of the equation. - groiny, in a sheet Oct 1, 13:41 2
        
        Will agree with most of this. Remember, just because you got all those assists, does not mean *I* was the one to get those kills. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:54 1
        
        I should have saved the game file and reviewed. - groiny, in a sheet Oct 1, 13:59
- Spawn and I went on a double date last night.... -- nm - what the Dane read Oct 1, 13:15 2
  - *fumes* -- nm - remlik Oct 1, 13:16 1
    - i agree -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 1, 13:18
With Caprica returning next week. My sci-fi itch will be pretty satiated. - Jovian Oct 1, 13:13 1
- I dug her pics in Maxim. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:15
No mention on SunMountain.com about their US PGA sponsorship. Gee, I wonder why. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Oct 1, 13:13
Well, I guess that's one way to determine the effectiveness of the help you give to the homeless -- (link) - znufrii Oct 1, 13:12
sigh, why me. audit for a client with $10mil in assets, materiality (ie the number we arbitarily decide to which things are important) is around $60k - tRuMaN Oct 1, 13:12
yep. -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 13:08 17
- wow. what a nut. -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 13:29
- It was her? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 1, 13:24 7
  - not sure - this is actually a mispost. - Diva Oct 1, 13:29 6
    - The only way to be sure is just post on her wall: "Bitch, I see you and your flat hair. Don't think I don't know." - FoxtoFail Oct 1, 13:32 5
      - Hurricane NaDiva -- nm - pixie, awesome april baby Oct 1, 13:34
      - I would love to, but she may be coming to my Jack and Jill next year so I probably shouldn't. -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 13:33 3
        
        Whatever that is, it can't be as fun as calling her bitch. Or send her a piece of flair with a drumset on it. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 1, 13:37 2
        
        i did jsut post to her that I noticed how different her hair was but in a totally non-chalant/complimentary way. - Diva Oct 1, 13:40 1
        
        or go on a killing spree... -- nm - Beaker Oct 1, 14:00
- *nods* -- nm - amoxy Oct 1, 13:14
- yep. (nm) - Big Mouth Alien from Sesame Street Oct 1, 13:10 6
  - uh-huh, uh-huh, yup, yup, yupyupyup.... -- nm - znufrii Oct 1, 13:13
  - god, i still want a ring tone of them saying doing the phone sound. -- nm - Andie Oct 1, 13:12 4
    - If you have a way to make ringtones from mp3 files.... - JD Oct 1, 13:30 3
      - if it's an iphone: import to iTunes, create AAC version, rename .m4a to .m4r, then it should be a ringtone -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 13:32 1
        
        *bookmarks this post for when i get i my iPhone.* - Andie Oct 1, 13:35
      - hee, thanks! -- nm - Andie Oct 1, 13:32
All right, all right, I will try to watch Charlie Wilson's War this weekend. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 1, 13:08 4
- I'd say it's essential to wear pink bunny slippers, a mansion robe, pour yourself a good healthy whisky or gin & tonic, and then watch it comfortably -- nm - Facto Oct 1, 13:20
- [deleted]
- I would slot it in as a B-, so don't expect a masterpiece, but it's a fun story told well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 1, 13:11 1
  - indeed. Just, given the content (and the historical ramifications that resulted from the content of the movie), it seems like they would like it :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 13:22
Facebook just stole my ikariam account! -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:04 5
- htf did that happen? -- nm - Diva Oct 1, 13:34
- how/why did that happen -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 1, 13:08 2
  - did your name get changed to hegemon? v more importantly, hhhoe to keep it from happening to me -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 1, 13:13
  - Didn't. They sent out a warning message. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:13
- Social Network 2 -- nm - pixie, awesome april baby Oct 1, 13:04
25612 -- nm - oblique Oct 1, 13:03
October babies rock! -- nm - con_carne Oct 1, 13:00 10
- my wife, my dad, my mom, and my best friend's wife were all October babies -- nm - crash davis Oct 1, 13:06 2
  - My dad, my sister, my wife and my son are all left handed. - Spawn Oct 1, 13:14 1
    - I'm the only lefty in my family. I'm all alone. :( - lileve Oct 1, 13:16
- Booyah! -- nm - Qale Oct 1, 13:05
- But as hard as you rock, you can not make up for not being September babies. -- nm - Spawn Oct 1, 13:04
- hah hah, you guys are cute -- nm - pixie, awesome april baby Oct 1, 13:04
- True. (nm) - musubi Oct 1, 13:03
- Damn right we do -- nm - amoxy Oct 1, 13:02
- Heck yes. -- nm - lileve Oct 1, 13:01
- I agree. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 1, 13:01
