- Um, may want to look into Blood Music by Greg Bear. Biotechnology, nanotechnology and how it impacts one man. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 14, 14:46

    - Word. We bought the cheap Costco brand last trip. Never again. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 14, 14:30 6
      - 2 more weeks til I get my Costco membership! whoooo! - kelly Oct 14, 14:34 1
        
        *nice*. We just got our Executive Membership 2% cash back check for the year: $112. - JaxSean Oct 14, 14:40
      - Huh, that is all we use. - amoxy Oct 14, 14:32 3
        
        Dude. - JaxSean Oct 14, 14:37 2

        [deleted]

  - Mad props to Kirkland Signature, yo. - Vermintown Oct 14, 14:29

- paper goods - znufrii Oct 14, 14:20 1
  - and shampoo and body wash -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 14:20
- There's a specific store brand cola that I like better than Coke Zero. - Reagen Oct 14, 14:19 8
  - maybe Coke Zero means something different in your country -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 14:21 6
    - should I resay it in semaphore? - Reagen Oct 14, 14:23 5
      - in my country Coke Zero is a horrible liquid that passes for a beverage among those missing at least one of their senses - crash davis Oct 14, 14:25 4
        
        I think that will hunting disagrees with you. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:40 3
        
        No, I haven't tried Coke Zero. Pepsi Max however is about 90% the taste of normal Pepsi. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:41 2
        
        oh, so it still tastes gross then. Got it. (nmb) - kelly Oct 14, 14:46
        
        oh! Heh. I get the two confused. (And I agree with your assessment.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:44
  - oh, and ice cream. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:20

- steeplechase, now that is a sport and you can bet on it -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 14:18
- You're making that up. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:17
Signs VH1 Divas is even more irrelavent: the next special features: Katy Perry (this I'm ok with), Keri Hilson, Sugarland, Nicki Minaj, Haley Williams -- nm - MDH Oct 14, 14:15 5
- [deleted] 4
  - I'll agree with what you are saying, but I don't think it qualifies as Diva -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 14:18 3
    - Honestly they're stretching the concept for 90% of the singers they've ever had. I think the list starts to thin out pretty quickly after Aretha, - pmb Oct 14, 14:43
    - I just wanna know when a 50/50 genders split qualifies as Diva. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:38
    - Exactly. -- nm - MDH Oct 14, 14:33
Today's reason I love SheFox: I offer that we can use some of our dining budget to order pizza tonight, because we could use a break. - TFox Oct 14, 14:14 17
- SheFox is pretty fantastic. -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 14:25 9
  - Please. The first thing she ever said to me was a complete lie. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:29 8
    - What did she say? -- nm - kelly Oct 14, 14:41 2
      - She was all "I'm gonna buy you a present". I hope her Taco Bell is lackluster. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:46 1
        
        That's a mighty thick branch of hope you're stepping out on there. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:46
    - "So you're the guy who likes all those inferior sports teams." isn't a lie. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:39
    - "Hi, nice to meet you." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:38 3
      - *rolls 20-sided die* - David Oct 14, 14:46

      - *golf clap* (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:42
- You love her for an Epic downgrade? A true Patriot fan, indeed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 14:22
- Sorry kid, you are done...I am pulling you -- nm - Joe Giradi Oct 14, 14:21
- dude, making your own tacos is better, just use the "taco bell bathroom" wink wink to score some sauce packets on the way out -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 14:17 4
  - that's not a break. that's work. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 14:18 3
    - It takes about 15 minutes to make tacos. -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 14:22 2
      - Stop getting in the way of my XXL Chalupa, yo. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 14:22 1

- #5 -- nm - Jovian Oct 14, 14:24
- #5 -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 14:09
- #1, but if she's taken, #4 -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 14:07
- I really would need to see #5's eyes, but as is, probably #1. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 14:05
- #5 -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 14:04
- #5. Easy. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 14:03 4
  - Tell me more. nm -- nm - Redmon Oct 14, 14:04 3
    - I was expecting the same response as you gave to Ray Ray. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 14:05 2
      - ??? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 14:06 1
        
        Oops! Vermin. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 14:21
- I can't decide between #2 and #5. No I can. #2 -- nm - Loyola Oct 14, 14:01 1
  - why thank you -- nm - beth si Oct 14, 14:05
- #5 looks pretty tight, but I DQ for the sunglasses. I'll go #4. -- nm - Vermintown Oct 14, 14:01 1
  - how can you tell how tight she is from a photo? - groiny Oct 14, 14:03
- Tough one cuz I'm not impressed with the picture clarity....5-1-2-4-3 -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:00
- The right but the middle has the best bikini. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:00 5
  - And the worst body for it. #5's bikini is nice. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:01 4
    - #3 looks like a witch in a bikini. -- nm - Loyola Oct 14, 14:05 1
      - *gets an idea* - Cinemax Oct 14, 14:06
    - She hasn't been out in the sun long enough. Otherwise, it'd be fine. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:02 1
      - Or miracle-grown her chest enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:22

- hee. The icon for "Native Muslims" made me laugh. - JaxSean Oct 14, 14:09
- I laughed too hard at the Helen Kellar one -- nm - amoxy Oct 14, 14:05 1
  - ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 14:06
- You son of a b!#ch. -- nm - EPA Oct 14, 14:02
- In retrospect, the whole "Let them eat Cake" comment was ill-advised -- nm - amoxy Oct 14, 14:01
I'm still cracking up at Francoeur taking shots at the one MLB team willing to employ him this year. -- nm - David Oct 14, 13:58 24
- Who knew he would turn out to be such a tool? Regardless of baseball skills, I thought he was supposed to be a stand up guy. -- nm - Dano Oct 14, 14:09 6
  - By all accounts, he's a hard worker and an affable guy. - David Oct 14, 14:12 5
    - I think part of it is that he's very accessable to media, so the press likes to emphasize the affable aspects of his personality. - musubi Oct 14, 14:13
    - (He did not, for example, choke his woman in the family clubhouse.) - David Oct 14, 14:13 3
      - Who did that? - musubi Oct 14, 14:15 2
        
        Evil is evil. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:21 1
        
        I'm not defending, just clarifying. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:23
- Word. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:03 16

    - I'll be rooting for him to get beaned in the head with the bases loaded, forcing in the winning run for the Rangers. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:11 10
      - [deleted]
      - Mmm, potato chips. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:12 8

        Homer at the Bat! -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:20 6
        
        D'oh! (it's good to hear Mike Sosscia got over his radiation poisioning, tho) (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:22 5
        
        "I also demagnetize credit cards." -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:24 4
        
        Such a sublime callback. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:24 3
        
        The hat gag amused me. All round, even though I have no idea who the guy is, it was a superb cameo. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 14:46
        
        "It's OK, kid you just didn't have it today." "Not everything is baseball!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:27 1
        
        "YES IT IS!" (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 14:34
    - Yankees fans have grandfathers, too. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 14:05 3
      - [deleted]
      - That's the line that sells the whole piece, the one that makes it self-aware. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:06 1
        
        I found it alternated between making me laugh, and choking me up a bit. -- nm - TFox Oct 14, 14:09
*beats Excel to a bloody pulp* -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 13:57 2
- This is what it sounds like when Reagen cries. -- nm - David Oct 14, 13:58 1
