  - The magazine is sitting out here. - David Oct 19, 11:24 1
    - thanks! -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 11:31
  - you cannot ask mara for it? gosh you are lazy. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 11:19
- It'll be on its way in a few minutes! -- nm - mara Oct 19, 11:17
Poll: what's the most controversial speech you've ever heard in your presence at an organized event? - Max Oct 19, 11:13 12
- A few conservative speeches where I felt uncomfortable being in the room during the speech. Luckily, only a handful of times and nothing recent. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 19, 11:19
- Never really heard one. The best I got is the Chancellor of the University of Missouri at St. Louis calling it the University of Missour-uh. - Jim Oct 19, 11:17 1
  - burn him! -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 11:17
- that david duke fundraiser but i swear he said it was "all races welcome" -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 11:15
- Santorum's commencement speech to us 3 weeks after Columbine where he blamed Clinton for instilling leadership that led those 2 kids to be leaders. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:15 3
  - did you guys boo him? -- nm - Diva Oct 19, 11:18 2
    - Some people did. "Yeah, I have 3 kids, I'm used to not being popular when I'm talking." - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:19 1
      - Yell back, "Your kids are right to hate you!" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:20
- KKK rallying at Bradley University. The weird part for me at the time was when they got done (they had to stay across the street) they took off - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:14
- uh. I dunno, OLP ranting about Bush or something? No idea. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:14
- "i'm cured!" -- nm - college max Oct 19, 11:14
- What followed "If anyone here objects to the joining of these two in holy matrimony speak now" -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:14
Better Off Ted is/was a worse title than Cougar Town. - Spawn Oct 19, 11:09 16
- Not really. BOT had the benefit of being based on a phrase. It was just generic, not actively off-putting, like CT. (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:11 3
  - I find Cougar Town more rewatchable than Modern Family although the latter show is better. - David Oct 19, 11:16 2
    - I couldn't say, as I've never saved a CT episode to rewatch. I sometimes let it delete without watching. - musubi Oct 19, 11:20
    - Hmm. I don't really like to rewatch comedies that much as you already know the jokes. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:19
- This would mean more if you weren't the pinhead who refused to watch Cougar Town due to the title. - David Oct 19, 11:10 10
  - it is a little silly not to watch it because of the title....nm - x Oct 19, 11:12 8
    - Why must you provoke me? -- nm - David Oct 19, 11:14 7
      - I mean, even they are mocking their own name on the title screens, now. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:17 2
        
        Exactly. Better Off Ted never did that. Do you even mean which side of the muckraking you're on? -- nm - David Oct 19, 11:18 1
        
        Uh, which one got shit-canned? -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:19
      - i'm not sure. it may be a simple flaw in my character.....nm - x Oct 19, 11:16 2
        
        You didn't even comment on my FB link the other day...and I mentioned you by name! *sniffle* -- nm - David Oct 19, 11:17 1
        
        what the hell. i totally missed it!....nm - x Oct 19, 11:19
      - When you have a stick, everything looks like roadkill. (That's how the colloquialism goes, right?) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:14
  - David's Back Yard Adventures XXVII: David Takes the Garbage. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:11
- I agree. It made it sound like a companion show to "Dead Like Me" or something. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:09
Can fandango tickets be refunded or exchanged? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:07 3
- Not without extreme difficulty, which is why I'm currently feuding with Fandango. - David Oct 19, 11:09
- don't take away kelly's sing along sound of music happiness -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 11:08
- I've done it before but you go to the theater, get the tickets and then exchange them at the boxoffice - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:08
Oh, and only ST would understand but when I bought my map of Louisiana for my office I secretly yelled "Get me a map of Louisiana" -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:05
(Oh, yeah: Greatest hits albums were made for people like me.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:04 5
- An movie soundtracks. (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:06 2
  - well, obviously. take the Wayne's World soundtrack, for example ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:07 1
    - oh dang, it just occurred to me that I lost my copy of Sikamikanico. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:08
- In some cases, I agree with this. Example: Britney Spears. All of her hits are catchy ass tunes. I don't care to hear the shit that didn't make - Jim Oct 19, 11:06
- ditto -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 11:04
I really hate Bejeweled Blitz -- nm - amoxy Oct 19, 11:03 6
- but somehow you can't stop ? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 19, 11:11
- What happened now? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:04 4
  - My guess is he spent a half-hour playing and didn't break 100,000. Or maybe that was me. -- nm - mara Oct 19, 11:06 3
    - you got ahead of me this week, dammit! -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 11:06 2
      - FINALLY!! -- nm - mara Oct 19, 11:10 1
        
        *shakes fist at you* - loosilu Oct 19, 11:14
Chuck officially gets the full season order. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 11:01 20
- jesus they gave Chase a full season and ordered more Undercovers (those 2 shows suck)... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 19, 11:08 5
  - And Chuck gets 11 instead of 9. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 11:10
  - You're nuts. Kim and I are in a constant state of lust when Undercovers is on. -- nm - David Oct 19, 11:09 2
    - sure the people are really pretty. but the show lacks....something. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 11:18 1
      - Nudity. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:20
  - NBC's 10p dramas have now fallen below Leno's average for the same time slot -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 11:09
- yet again? -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:08 3
  - Psst, this isn't rumor, this is the first official news. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 11:10 1
    - With no link, it is rumor, silly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:11
  - The last 9 episodes will be the hunt for Tom Bosley's killer. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:08
- meh. More Casey/Morgan, Lester/Jeff and less whiny Chuck and Sarah talking about their feelings please. -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 11:02 4
  - well, they can talk about it but only if she's trying on bikinis or trying to text with her toes -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:03 3
    - foot fetish much? -- nm - sycor Oct 19, 11:08 2
      - "Man, I really want to put my feet in your mouth." -- nm - Lutz si Oct 19, 11:08
      - I was looking up her skirt, what were you looking at? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:08
- Yeah, we admit it...we have nothing worth watching even in the pipeline. Nothing. Not a damn thing. -- nm - NBC Oct 19, 11:02 4
  - "Hey ST, want to make some shows for us?" - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:03 3
    - Step 1: Bring back Journeyman - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:03 2
      - I don't know how they didn't try for Better Off Ted - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:04 1
        
        Bonnie Hammer would have gotten it! Seriously someone give her the job. She gets it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 11:09
I'm thinking of taking a girl to St. Moritz, Switzerland for 5 days in January, just to, you know, whisk her off somewhere and win her. - Loyola Oct 19, 10:58 13
- Only if you act completely charmingly, and wait for her to make all the first moves. - OAE Oct 19, 11:09 6
  - I don't think he wants her forever, just 5 days. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:15 4
    - I don't know mate, I think I might. -- nm - Loyola Oct 19, 11:19 3
      - Forget the other advice. As soon as you arrive you say, "Think of these five days as your audition..." -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:21 2
        
        :) I'll tell her someday you said that. -- nm - Loyola Oct 19, 11:28 1
        
        Confess the same to her: this is your audition, too! - OAE Oct 19, 11:29
  - Ok thanks a million. And everyone else. -- nm - Loyola Oct 19, 11:14
- It would be impressive but ultimately it has to be *you* that wins her over. Your personality and what not. -- nm - lileve Oct 19, 11:03
- pics? -- nm - CQ Oct 19, 11:01
- well, as long as she likes winter/skiing and, you know, *you*. Sure. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 10:59
- I'd do you. -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 10:59
- with her consent? -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:59 1
  - Shut up, she will enjoy it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:01
[deleted] 2
- True. But that was Big Obvious analogy. (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:17
- Right, if she wrote a letter to the editor of the school paper complaining, we'd all applaud her. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 10:58
I dunno if I'd say whiny, but it was a pretty immature-sounding comment. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:56 23
- I'm trying to project the reaction if the valedictorian had been a supporter and used the podium to support the guy & condemn the protesters outside. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 19, 11:02 7
  - well it would be a less popular opinion, so... - Reagen Oct 19, 11:12 1
    - I'm willing to give anyone on here the benefit of the doubt that they would be consistent. I'm trying to figure out what the broader audience.... - Name Withheld By Request Oct 19, 11:16
  - the reaction of others isn't the point. - hachiko Oct 19, 11:06 1
    - That's a fair comment, and like I hinted at in my first post, I completely disagree about granting the honour on him at this time (if ever). - Name Withheld By Request Oct 19, 11:11
  - [deleted] 1
    - I think the reaction would have been certainly more one-sided against the choice to politicize the speech, yes. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 19, 11:09
  - I bet someone agreeing with someone they share the stage with happens waaaaaaaaaaay more often. -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 11:03
- I think she should have not mentioned it but backstage she - amoxy Oct 19, 11:02
- Without further context, that single quote could be interpreted that way. - musubi Oct 19, 10:59 4
  - I'd love to hear her speech. it might be quality. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:01 3
    - That's what I'm saying. Based simple on what was presented on B2, there's no reasonable way to say it was either appropriate or inappropriate. - musubi Oct 19, 11:04 2
      - The Harper Govt are blaming her for not getting the UN Security Council seat now. - Beaker Oct 19, 11:06
      - *nods* - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:05
- as most 22 year old college students' comments are -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:57 8
  - Thats why most 22 year olds aren't valedictorians and asked to speak. (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:00 3
    - in college? seniors are usually going to be 22 by definition -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 11:01 2
      - sure, but not most college students are valedictorians. *ONE* person in each class is. Therefore, most 22 years olds don't get that forum. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 11:04
      - Reagen, Venn Diagram, stat! (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:02
  - Yeah. All the more reason to not go there. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:59
  - this -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 10:58
  - I think most 22 year olds wouldn't have the "balls" to do what she did -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 10:58 1

Holy smokes, our external auditor is one attractive young lady... -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 10:56 6
- boobs? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:02 1
  - eyes and legs actually -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 11:04
- photos or she's not real. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 10:59
- jam session -- nm - CQ Oct 19, 10:58
- you can win her over by ratting out cheating coworkers -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:56
- Give her an internal audit. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 10:56
See Jack, New is Better! :) While I don't use my tablet PC for an extensive amount of note taking, I have used it on occasion - kilbooooo Oct 19, 10:55 7
- [deleted] 6
  - it has a keyboard -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:58 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - C'mon. You know you'd just hand it to your secretary and say "Fill it up with my stuff" and pick it back up at the end of the day with all your briefs -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 19, 11:01 3
        
        like his secretary would know how to do that? -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 11:04 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        this is how he packs for trips, too. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:03
"You can't kill a bad mood in four minutes." - This is true. But in my case, I can't kill a bad mood with music. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:54 7
- SOAD is the sound of channeled, focused weaponized mental overload and stress. listening to this is like pushing the brain strain out of my face. - TFox Oct 19, 10:59 5
  - This post reminds me so much of znuffri. (nm) - musubi Oct 19, 11:06 1
    - i would pay to watch znufrii get down on some soad. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 11:07
  - if only it didn't have the two singers in that band. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 10:59 2
    - serj has one of my favorite instruments in rock in his throat. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 11:01 1
      - he's awful. I mean he's straight out terrible. He ruins any good musical buildup that band starts... - Remlik Oct 19, 11:03
- (Reading or sleeping work for that.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:55
luddites unite! -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:54 5
- how 'bout that wayne rooney?....nm - x Oct 19, 10:57 4
  - He didn't start the other day, and I laughed a little bit when they sent him in late and the announcers acted like he would save the day. - Kim Pine Oct 19, 11:13 1
    - heh. the way he's playing i'd much rather see el chicharito play anyhow....nm - x Oct 19, 11:18
  - La Liga here he comes -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:59 1
    - i can't see that dude playing in spain. but it's either there or man city....nm - x Oct 19, 11:01
sitmop: Tom Bosley has passed away. -- (link) - Krusty Oct 19, 10:54 2
- For crying out loud....can't the man rest in peace without dying over and over again? -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 10:54 1
  - he's Zombie Tom Bosley now. -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 10:57
FREE NELSON MANDELA! -- nm - Code Vermin Oct 19, 10:53
the one song I kept from the super mario brothers soundtrack is playing right now ... Was Not Was - Walk the Dinosaur -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:53 14
- listen to track 9 here -- (link) - Remlik Oct 19, 10:56
- there needs to be clockwork orange style music reeducation camps -- nm - hachiko Oct 19, 10:55
- But see, it is nice to like a song that was not *from* something, except an album you listened to. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 10:54 11
  - Sure. I have the entire No Doubt collection, a perk of a concert I attended, and I recently learned that I liked a song from it that I hadn't heard - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:56 10
    - See? And that could happen, a lot. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 10:57 9
      - It could, but I'm not willing to outlay the cash for it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 10:58 8
        
        Yeah, not having favorite bands will screw you that way. - Spawn Oct 19, 10:59 7
        
        I do have a few collections queued up in my iTunes wishlist. - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:02 6
        
        A greatest hits collection does not really count. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 11:10 2
        
        (See my post higher up) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:11 1
        
        Uhhhh, what does Dead Like Me have to do with this? - Spawn Oct 19, 11:13
        
        HIP CD is great. -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 11:06
        
        spoils: you definitely want clutch. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 11:06 1
        
        I'm very tempted. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 11:06
