for the second day in a room, my suit pants are, well, sticking to my legs (from the knee down) - tRuMaN Oct 7, 11:51 11
- sigh, just noticed that, second day in a row (not room) -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 7, 11:57
- Get out of the room? -- nm - jnine Oct 7, 11:56
- static guard, or a dryer sheet. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:56 6
  - so i tape it to my leg? or do I use staples? - tRuMaN Oct 7, 11:56 5
    - you rub a dryer sheet over them. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 12:02
    - Turn your pants inside out and spray the bottoms with Static Guard. Temporary solution, get your hands wet and dampen your socks. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 12:00 1
      - hmm, guess i need to visit targey and see if they have his. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 7, 12:02

- "...it's the pleats." -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 7, 11:54
- let the ladies draw their own conclusions? -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:52
*flushes 10+ years of planning and $3 billion of federal funding down the drain* -- (link) - Gov. Christie Oct 7, 11:47 11
- I don't know if it mentions it in the NYT story, but it looks like he's trying to repurpose that $3bill for other transit projects. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 11:52 9
  - the federal $$$ goes bye-bye. he's trying to get the $3bil committed by the Port Authority of NY and NJ to go to other development projects in NJ - znufrii Oct 7, 11:55 8
    - Deficit fighter! - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 11:56 7
      - but at the cost of an opportunity to double the transit capacity into NYC. - znufrii Oct 7, 11:58 6
        
        A 25%-60% cost overrun on an already $9 billion project is nothing to sneeze at either though. -- nm - Ender Oct 7, 12:04 2
        
        Of course his team of analysts put it way over the initial budget. It's exactly the answer he wanted - decline Oct 7, 12:09
        
        but unless you decide you'll never need it, it's even more expensive at some other future date. - Reagen Oct 7, 12:08
        
        Boo! You're supposed to be *reducing* your carbon footprint! - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 12:03 2
        
        the tunnel would've been for NJTransit trains which are all electric. - znufrii Oct 7, 12:06
        
        "transit" -- nm - Reagen Oct 7, 12:03
- tea power! -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:48
the only dessert i would be cooking for these clowns is something with garlic and avacodo -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:45 9
- I'm assuming that since you expressed your feelings about garlic to me, that you feel the same about avocado? -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:49 8
  - bugsy is dumb -- nm - Dano Oct 7, 11:49 1
    - this -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:53
  - never having eaten an avocado, i don't have any feelings (other than i will never eat one) -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:49 4
    - this just makes my head explode. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:54
    - how does it feel to achieve epic fail? (the I had avocados just last night nm) -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:50 2
      - They are indeed amazing. - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 11:55 1
        
        sounds great - if he tells me that he hates sauteed mushrooms, I'll begin to lose all hope -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:59
  - I would like this phrase and similar ones to appear in a line of greeting cards. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:49

stormchasers show starts up next wednesday, anyone going to watch? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 7, 11:38 3
- It depends. - Spawn Oct 7, 11:47 2
  - no, but from the looks of the commercial, you get to see them run into homes after tornados destroy them. - tRuMaN Oct 7, 11:52 1
    - Only the homes that paid their storm chaser fees, though. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:54
Ha. Reading the article on Dykstra and not at all surprised to see Jim Cramer. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 11:35
Hey David...one thing about Survivor this time that IS surprising me is that (spoils...sorta) - Jim Oct 7, 11:30 32
- Survivor spoils - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 7, 11:38 1
  - Yeah it was. When they come up with these ideas, they never know if it'll actually work or not. (spoils) - Jim Oct 7, 11:40

    - I like the older blonde...the one that started the fire on Day 1. She could be a hoot if she got more face time. -- nm - Jim Oct 7, 11:40 1
      - yeah, fair enough. she hangs around the other one too much, is the problem. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:41

      - spoils - Roger More Oct 7, 11:44 5
        
        Against someone like that...I don't think a blowup would be held against them. (Spoils) - Jim Oct 7, 11:46 4
        
        I have to play catch-up on this season, but... - Roger More Oct 7, 11:53 1
        
        Vecepia and Brian are others. -- nm - David Oct 7, 11:55
        
        I do not remember seeing him at all on last nights show -- nm - amoxy Oct 7, 11:50 1
        
        Spoilers - David Oct 7, 11:51
  - I don't get it either. The worst to watch (spoils) - Jim Oct 7, 11:34
- And from B2, in response...(spoil) - Jim Oct 7, 11:32 [Backboard] 2
  - Her hatred is primal. That's why it's so unsettling. -- nm - David Oct 7, 11:43 1
    - It is unsettling and completley irrational - amoxy Oct 7, 11:53
Another year, another subway fare increase. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 7, 11:30 8
- cash fare here is $3 -- nm - zork Oct 7, 11:39
- my monthly metro pass went to $111 a month from $100 in October. - Andie Oct 7, 11:36 5
  - two-ride GO train ticket to/from Whitby is $15.10 -- nm - zork Oct 7, 11:38 3
    - wow, that's quite a bit. does Go do monthly passes? -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:39 2
      - they do plus they do 10-ride tickets, which are very popular. Turns out that the gov't ... - zork Oct 7, 11:44 1
        
        the two and ten ride tickets have to be punched in a machine before getting on the train but the monthly ones just stay in your wallet until ... - zork Oct 7, 11:46
  - however, it would cost me $121/month if i didn't subscribe apparently - i just checked. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:38
- six dollar footlongs? -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:32
I like to imagine real chefs like Tom Colicchio watching that show and thinking - crash davis Oct 7, 11:30 28
- There's no crying in the kitchen. -- nm - David Oct 7, 11:32 27
  - At least the contestants have personalities this time. It's miles better than last season of TC. -- nm - Ender Oct 7, 11:34 2
    - After they got rid of the crazy people last season, I liked the core group save for Angelo. - David Oct 7, 11:41
    - it certainly lends itself to is it better to have too much of a negative thing or nothing at all? -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:39
  - I just loved how on episode one they said they were the equals of "savory chefs" - crash davis Oct 7, 11:33 23
    - sure they are. they're just different. -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:34 22
      - in a lot of ways, being a pastry chef is much harder, imo....nm - xi Oct 7, 11:44 8
        
        the pastry princess! -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:47
        
        I was going to say, there's no messing around with baking. You have to know your chemistry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:46 1
        
        plus, things change a lot depending on conditions like the relative humidity. it's a pain in the ass...nm - xi Oct 7, 11:49
        
        I won't dispute your IM. Baking is tough for me. But equal to a perfectly crafted main course? I say nay. -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:46 4
        
        how many things can a pastry chef make by salting it and throwing it on the grill? -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:46 3
        
        I wouldn't trust these people on this show with grills. It takes longer to hurt yourself with freezers. -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:47 2
        
        try melted sugar sometime. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:55 1
        
        I've had to use a candy thermometer before. Still desserts pale to a perfect piece of salmon -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 12:00
      - no they really aren't, they are good at what they do, they are creative - but where you can require a TC "savory" contestant to make a dessert - crash davis Oct 7, 11:36 12
        
        how many times do you hear the savory chefs complain that they're not a pastry chef? - kare Oct 7, 11:38 11
        
        lots, but then again, they can still do it. Also, can you live without dessert, yes. Can you live without real food, no :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:40 10
        
        Without dessert you exist, it's not really living. -- nm - jnine Oct 7, 11:49 1
        
        I like this :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:55
        
        crash bandit davis! you're just talking nonsense now. dessert *is* real food. - kare Oct 7, 11:41 7
        
        heh - when we went to a seafood buffet, Trish asked me if I was going to get dessert. I said "No, Its either that or more king crab legs" - crash davis Oct 7, 11:45 2
        
        Amen brother! -- nm - Stephen Oct 7, 11:46

        his middle name is "bandit"? - bugsy Oct 7, 11:42 3
        
        it is now. -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:44 2
        
        I like it -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:46 1

bang -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:28 2
- sirens -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:29 1
  - explosions -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:30
Hmm. After thinking about it, if I was a dog owner I might be tempted to fling the poop I cleaned up after my dog into your yard. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:28 7
- wait a sec... if you were? (Petey?) -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:29 5
  - If I were a dog owner (that was your neighbor). -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:29 4
    - ah. okay. that totally makes sense. - kare Oct 7, 11:31 3
      - spoiler - mara Oct 7, 11:35 2
        
        Sign *and* the cacti parts. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:49
        
        oooh. - kare Oct 7, 11:37
- and then pegleg would release the bees. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:28
