- Simon Pegg's book Nerd Do Well? -- nm - LMS Oct 15, 08:42

Top Gun 2? -- (link) - oblique Oct 15, 08:39
I just thought of a song I haven't heard in a long time and need to put on my iPod. World Party's -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 08:35 1
- (sfek) 'Is It Like Today.' -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 08:35
22 years ago, Kirk Gibson hit his famous homer off Eck. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:34 12
- That's another reason we need to go back to two divisions, and no wild cards. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:37 11
  - heh. As it is, around 20% of the baseball teams make it into the play-offs. - Spawn Oct 15, 08:41 1
    - NBA is more than 50%, and NHL is up there too. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:42
  - no thanks -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:39
  - No thanks. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:39

    - It's more the calendar year aspect......NFL weather doesn't matter, NBA/NHL = indoors - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:43
    - baseball playoffs are actually laughably short, compared to the enormity of the season. - TFox Oct 15, 08:40 3

        hell, if it were me, I would throw in a handful of double headers during the season - groiny Oct 15, 08:43
        
        Yes, the days off issue is problematic in the postseason. I especially hate it... - TFox Oct 15, 08:43
  - (ugh. no thank you.) -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:38
I can't believe it took me so long to figure this out, but: refrigerated cupcakes taste waaay better than ones left on the counter. - Beryllium Oct 15, 08:30 4
- This works well with cream cheese-based icings, IMO -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 15, 08:43
- Nice-- -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Oct 15, 08:40
- Really? I can get with the icing but the fridge tends to sap the moistness out of the cake. It's also why I don't put bread in the fridge. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 15, 08:31 1
  - It was only in the fridge for about 12 hours, seemed to be perfect. (Inside a plastic case) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 08:40

    - Ever try a Riesling? Goes great with dessert. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 15, 08:36 6
      - if you like riesling, check out gewurztraminer... -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 08:37 5
        
        if you like gewurztraminer check out ice wine -- nm - decline Oct 15, 08:39 4
        
        I *heart* ice wine -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 08:39 3
        
        it's nice in very small doses. it's like desert itself. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:40 2
        
        indeed... - znufrii Oct 15, 08:41
        
        *nods* -- nm - decline Oct 15, 08:40
- I have two contenders for you: sister cookies (thumbprint cookies rolled in pulverized walnuts with seedless red rasp jam) and topher (my DOA) cookies - chromanda Oct 15, 08:32 1
  - nice. speaking of sugar cookies, i made some last year and put some jamaican all spice is some of the dough - they were delicious. sweet and clove-y - Andie Oct 15, 08:33
- Kahlua and Baileys with coffee, instead of wine, would be my vote. Way better with cookies near the holidays. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:31 2
  - would prefer the wine, myself... -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 08:36
  - ooh, good point. i think i'll have both options on hand. : ) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:32
- sounds good to me. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:28
- Of course you are. And of course you will. -- nm - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:28 3
  - i've never even been to one. we discussed having prizes for 'best decorated, best tasting,' etc. - Andie Oct 15, 08:29 2
    - Decorated?!?! Dare I say: - mara Oct 15, 08:31 1
      - : ) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:32
LYC: So I debated posting this but could perhaps use perspective... - oblique Oct 15, 08:24 16
- 1) I agree with your sentiment but you should only offer it when asked, be empathetic till then 2) I'm stealing your situation for a very special - crash davis Oct 15, 08:34 3
  - so when you say you sucked that game in Halo, we should not agree with you? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 08:37 2
    - don't be clubhouse cancer -- nm - crash davis Oct 15, 08:39 1
      - clubhouse std? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 08:39
- I remember hearing once "guys try to fix when a woman just wants to vent" (something to that effect). - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:33 7
  - I've been way down that road and learned that lesson well. For some reason, especially in this situation - oblique Oct 15, 08:36 6
    - I don't think you're wrong on that point, and I'd at least try to let her know that she shouldn't bring up having seen the notes when she meets. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:37 5
      - yep. at this point it's about moving forward. -- nm - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:41
      - Agreed, and his reasoning(s) are sound. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:41
      - Yeah, she's already made that point. *shrug* - oblique Oct 15, 08:40 1
        
        "let that go" - oblique Oct 15, 08:42
      - this -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 08:40
- I'm going to bet she needs listener kilbo more than she needs problem-solving kilbo today -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 15, 08:31
- My thoughts: - TFox Oct 15, 08:29
- I tend to agree, you have to sneak a peak, but be prepared to not like what you see. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 08:28
- I would suggest she go in with an open mind. Maybe the suggestions are actual improvements. -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:26
Ohh, there's a Halloween screening of American Werewolf in London... at London Zoo. - LMS Oct 15, 08:23 1
- Can you sleep naked in the wolf cages afterwards? - TFox Oct 15, 08:24
[deleted] 6
- To be fair, you do talk fast. -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 08:29
- Yes. I have a partner now that when he was an associate did this a lot. - pmb Oct 15, 08:22
- that is a very good and direct way of handling the situation. - znufrii Oct 15, 08:21
- If you're a fast talker, that would leave him extra time to say things! -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 08:21
- *pats you on th head* Yes, you did a good job, Jack. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:20 1
  - [deleted]
Mel, you should get a smartphone. Then they can never take Ika from you. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 08:18 19
- I'd have to use the public wifi... - Mel Profit Oct 15, 08:27 10
  - Our Sprint deal is unlimited data, so you don't need wi-fi for your phone. - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:29 7
    - thank you. sometimes it sounds better when it doesn't come from me. -- nm - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:33 4
      - huh? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 08:37 3
        
        she's saying you look terrible in bike shorts. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:38 2
        
        Mel owes him a murder. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:41 1
        
        Him? You. - nm - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:42
    - Ah...right. I'm a luddite. And... - Mel Profit Oct 15, 08:31 1

- netbook + tethered cellphone :) -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 08:25 2
  - that's some serious dedication to an (free) internet game -- nm - decline Oct 15, 08:26 1
    - You're talking about people that essentially post on the game boards creating what amounts to a soap opera of war - oblique Oct 15, 08:28
- Have you played Ika on a phone? I don't know if there's an app, but just going to the website wasn't that fun on my Android HTC. -- nm - mara Oct 15, 08:25 4
  - A year ago, it rocked. Now, I can't get it to work. -- nm - Spawn Oct 15, 08:43
  - It's been easy enough to check messages on my Incredible. Building and pillaging is more difficult. -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 08:28 1
    - I used to play ika on my ipod touch. -- nm - lileve Oct 15, 08:36
  - I kinda do it a lot as Mel's town manager. it's not optimum but I can pillage as much as I want and build once I'm done stealing. -- nm - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:27
[deleted] 1
- I'm haggling with the guy. Just feeling him out on how much he trusts Max Hall. If I can get Fitz instead, the deal's done. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 15, 08:20
Remlik: you have any Gotham Police Department t-shirts? -- nm - sycor Oct 15, 08:15
Thanks for a couple of the suggestions on b2. - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:15

- lemon poppyseed muffins or loaf -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 08:25
- I just made some crock pot baked apples last night. - groiny Oct 15, 08:18 4
  - Andrew would absolutely love that I think. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:20 3
    - it is super simple, just takes 8-10 hours on low to make. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 08:25 2
      - We still have a bunch of apples from the other week, so that might a good idea for this weekend. :) -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:27 1
        
        some water, raisins (optional) cinnamon, butter, sugar. - groiny Oct 15, 08:30
- Probably nothing, honestly. If we did, maybe some nice bread. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:16
- myself -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:16 1
  - alternatively - bacon -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:16
- fruit and yogurt -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 15, 08:15
- SheFox would probably bake muffins. -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:13 5
  - ooooh, good idea... -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 08:19
  - Banana nut or blueberry?? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:17 2
    - banana bread would also be a huge hit. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:21
    - Blueberry. Or coffee cake muffins (which are more like cupcakes, but passable for breakfast.) -- nm - TFox Oct 15, 08:21
  - actually, the muffin mixes + fresh berries are really good and easy. (if you aren't up to doing them from scratch.) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:14
- condoms. -- nm - Appalachian citizen Oct 15, 08:12 1
  - hee - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:13

- I guess she wants to get dirty. -- nm - lileve Oct 15, 08:08
Ugh. (LYC) Sunday regional train schedules are the suck. - znufrii Oct 15, 08:07
Huh, the Yankees were worse at stopping stealing than the Red Sox? - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:07 9
- [deleted] 2
  - So in his logic-world...he should be roiding up, right? - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:21 1
    - [deleted]
- He's laughing at home while Posada's in Texas so that's okay. -- nm - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:15
- VMart is the only Red Sox decision that I hope is automatic: don't bring him back. - TFox Oct 15, 08:13 4
  - When we were in Fenway in August, I got to watch him throw in warmups out in CF. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:15 3
    - Assuming that Wakefield has made his last start in a Red Sox uniform, it won't be *quite* as bad, but... - TFox Oct 15, 08:19 2
      - historically, Wakefield is pretty decent at holding runners - groiny Oct 15, 08:26
      - Kelly's mom just felt a tremor in the Force and doesn't know why. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 08:25
This is kind of fun. How good are you at judging people's mood based on their eyes? (nmblink) - ralph wiggum Oct 15, 08:04 4

There are times I'll miss Steve Carrell on the Office. Last night was one of them. His final conversation with (spoilers) - oblique Oct 15, 07:56
Has ST seen the brouhaha over a joke in a Vince Vaughan film trailer? -- (link) - TWuG Oct 15, 07:55 8
- Vaughan's response -- (link) - TWuG Oct 15, 07:56 7
  - I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:06 6
    - No rating yet. Perhaps not trailer fodder, but if it's pulled from the movie, well, that's just chickenshit - TWuG Oct 15, 08:12 5
      - this offends us -- nm - The Association of Francis' Oct 15, 08:22
      - i actually really don't like the usage that way (the same way i hate the used of 'retarded') and i think if it's used in a mainstream way like this, - Andie Oct 15, 08:16 3
        
        My daughter was talking about "the r word" one day. Took me awhile to figure out what she meant. - TWuG Oct 15, 08:21 1
        
        See, it treads a fine line (to me). Stop using it in mainstream media, it (most likely) stops getting used in mainstream society. - JaxSean Oct 15, 08:28
        
        It's a vince vaughn movie. How mainstream can it be? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 08:19

    - Maybe I'd start playing again. Right now it's just too boring - Guigue Oct 15, 08:23 4
      - just start attacking players with low military scores/hideouts. Every Alliance needs a coconut :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:27 1
        
        I didn't want to put Mel in any kind of trouble. But now I think he wants trouble! :) -- nm - Guigue Oct 15, 08:34
      - Brak the CTs with NTR since they're not above poaching the big point players and...Anna. - Lady MacDeeve Oct 15, 08:25 1
        
        If they did actively try and poach I might break the CTs actually. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 08:30
    - the worst thing that happened to us was how easily we dismantled WTF. we were nobodies and they were an established Alliance and we crushed them - Beaker Oct 15, 08:02 1
      - I'm filing my last 6months as "Careful what you wish for!" -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 08:12
