sigh, my test questions are pissing me off - tRuMaN Oct 20, 14:34 3
- By putting the decimal in the wrong place :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 20, 14:39
- We need the whole question. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:36 1
  - ok, you asked for it. - tRuMaN Oct 20, 14:40
longest taco bell commercial ever. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:33
ALCS spoiler - musubi Oct 20, 14:31 4
- The announcer just said... - David Oct 20, 14:34
- That's .250 higher than any Mets players in the postseason. -- nm - Frenchy Oct 20, 14:33 2
  - To hear the media report, you'd think Frenchy was still a Met. - musubi Oct 20, 14:35 1

This is ST -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 14:23
in Vermin's defense, I guess, if he asked me to do that..... - groiny Oct 20, 14:23
Holy crap, the antibiotics pills are the largest pills I've ever seen - Will Hunting Oct 20, 14:20 5
- can the ST medical staff explain why this is? Why not make them smaller and say "take 2"? -- nm - Max Oct 20, 14:27 3
  - We need to flag down Tim when he logs on this evening. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:36
  - Possibly to control the rate of absorption. Larger pills dissolve more slowly. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:29 1
    - Given how long it took them to put them in a bottle, i'm not sure the pharmacists didn't have to construct the molds and bake this batch. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 14:30
- suppositories? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:22
You people and your undying devotion to a certain brand of cola is baffling to me. - musubi Oct 20, 14:18 41
- I know, I'll drink whatever diet soda is cheapest......I'll admit I have no taste :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 20, 14:40
- i drink diet, i dont care what brand it is. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 14:35
- I will drink either one, but Coke is definitely better. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 20, 14:34 1
  - (oh, and Diet Coke is a billion times better than Diet Pepsi). - Kim Pine Oct 20, 14:38
- worse than that, it's diet...ugh. -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 14:30
- there is a taste difference, and it's noticeable (otherwise there would have been no Pepsi Challenge) -- nm - hachiko Oct 20, 14:26 5
  - Yes. I said it's negligible, not unnoticable. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:28 4
    - that's wrong too -- nm - hachiko Oct 20, 14:29 3
      - Actually I'm correct. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:30 2
        
        just because your own palate is inadequate, doesn't mean everyone's is. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:38 1
        
        Yes, you've got me. Fight the good fight, refuse to drink [other brand] cola, because it's clearly inferior! - musubi Oct 20, 14:41
- I will drink an occasional soda, don't really care which, except i can not drink diet - amoxy Oct 20, 14:25 1
  - This, I can understand. The taste between diet and regular is very large. - musubi Oct 20, 14:29
- I'll take Pepsi over Coke, but Diet Coke over Diet Pepsi. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 14:23 3
  - Exactly. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:33
  - Pepsi Max trumps both diet coke and diet pepsi though. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 14:26
  - you are my cola soulmate - groiny Oct 20, 14:24
- slight? whatever. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:21 1
  - I take your "whatever" as a concession of my point. Thank you. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:24
- bah, I like regular Pepsi, but Diet Coke. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:21
- It's a case, so there's also a principle involved. - con_carne Oct 20, 14:20 10
  - If one or two is ok, is seems beyond baffling that a case is somehow un-consumable. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:23 9
    - I wouldn't think it's un-consumable, but why? Take it back and get what you want. Life is too short. - JaxSean Oct 20, 14:24 8
      - Seems to me that life's too short to waste time taking one brand of cola for another. - musubi Oct 20, 14:26 5
        
        not if one tastes like ass sweat. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:27 4
        
        well, it's diet, so that's a given regardless... -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 14:37 1
        
        well, one tastes like freshly washed ass, the other tastes like a dirty ass. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:38
        
        then don't drink it, but life is definitely too short to wait in line returning ass sweat. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:28 1
        
        if I paid for it, and it ain't what I wanted, it is going back. - groiny Oct 20, 14:28
      - I hate taking stuff back. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:25 1
        
        Donate it then. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 14:25
- I don't like Pepsi in a cap *at all*. I can drink it from a glass bottle or a fountain. RC from a fountain is even better. But nothing beats Coke. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 20, 14:20 1
  - maybe it is the sweat from the cap that makes it taste bad? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:21
- well, that could be said of crap watered down cheap frozen orange juice vs fresh squeezed. they're both juice. - Andie Oct 20, 14:20 3
  - I'm saying that the difference in cola brands is negligible, completely unlike cheap frozen, and fresh squeezed OJ. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:22 2
    - The only thing you've been drinking is Diet Wrong. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:24 1
      - So it's 50% less wrong than what all y'all have been drinking. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:25
- Pepsi is easily my fave. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 14:19
- I like all kinds of soda. - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:18
- Heathen. Pepsi is clearly inferior. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:18 1
  - This. -- nm - Stephen Oct 20, 14:19
If I said "4.0L V8", what kind of vehicle comes to mind? -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 14:17 11
- Thanks, all. -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 14:26
- Maybe the Chrysler 300 but I think that might be upwards of 6L -- nm - Max Oct 20, 14:22
- SUV or pickup? -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:22
- mid sized sedan (big assed caddies from the 70's had 450 cubic inches which would be about 7 or 8 liters -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 20, 14:20 3
  - Yep. A 455 is ~7.5 L. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:24 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Oh, I agree with you. I don't think in Liters. I hear V-8 and think big old beast from the 60;s and 70s or a sports car of some kind. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:28
- Speaking as somebody fairly vehicle illiterate, a sports car or large pickup? -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:18
- Geo Metro. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:18
- [deleted] 1
  - ~Rollin' in my four point oh, with the drop top down, so my hair can blow~ (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:19
hah. bigbangtheory plug on the team coco webcam. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:12
It's like someone took the cork out of their butts and they finally remembered how to swing their bats. -- nm - Diva Oct 20, 14:09 9
- they're alive, they're alive, THEY'RE ALIVE!!! -- nm - Dr. Frankenstein Oct 20, 14:15
- they put it in their bats instead? :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 14:13
- I have no bone to pick in the game, but I hope the Rangers win. based purely on that story from last week. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:10 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - yes, you missed it. :) An STer's friend posted to FB about a letter to the Rangers asking for them to do something for his grandfather -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:21
  - [deleted]
- word -- nm - Jovian Oct 20, 14:10 2
  - Cork. Butt. -- nm - Diva Oct 20, 14:11 1
    - This made me laugh and I'm not even sure why. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:12
[deleted]
okay, this is weird... - znufrii Oct 20, 14:07 5
- They're moving... -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 20, 14:07 2
  - yes, but *why*? -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 14:11 1
    - Nanobots -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 14:15
- CHECK YOUR PENIS!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:07 1
  - yup, still there... -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 14:08
hopefully the people viewing our condo right now are not stealing stuff. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:06
Andie, I'm sure the person offering was asked nicely. "Well, it's a bit much but would you mind...?" "Sure, no problem." - TWuG Oct 20, 14:04 15
- Nicely? this is Vermy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:09 8
  - oh, i'm sure he was nice. but she still probably was thinking "seriously? you want me to carry what?" - Andie Oct 20, 14:11 7
    - exactly. Come on, carrying anything with your own lunch is a pain. And for the record I agree with you (and others) - loosilu Oct 20, 14:12 6
      - Some people say Coke and mean *any* kind of soda. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:13 5
        
        maybe where you live. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:14
        
        Those people don't exist. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:14 1
        
        I wish! -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:20
        
        people who don't know how to use their words don't get to complain. - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:14
        
        we call them "southerners." they don't count. -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 14:14
- "would you mind stopping at the car dealer and haggle me a good price on a new SUV?" nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 14:07 2
  - Yeah, cause that's exactly the same thing. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:11 1
    - well, it *is* exactly the same thing if they say yes. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:11
- unless you were lying -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:05 2
  - Then you deserve to be told you screwed up. Rule 1: don't lie. Rule 2: if you lie, be prepared to suffer the consequences. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:07 1
    - Rule 3: If you lie, make sure to rub it in and then call the person a jackass when they whine. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:08
[deleted] 1
- rolling outages. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:04
Thanks for the feedback, y'alls. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:01 12
- a man doesn't make a girl carry a case of coke with her lunch. that is all. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:09 9
  - And now we know why you are single. High maintenance. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:12 7
    - oh, that's low. - loosilu Oct 20, 14:14 6
      - And you would be honest. *If* this person lied and said "sure" then she's a liar who deserves to be stuck carrying it. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:16 5
        
        some people have a hard time saying no to a request. that doesn't mean you should request it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:23 4
        
        He didn't *ask* for a *case*. He asked for "a couple". She took initiative to get him more than he asked for of the *WRONG* product. - TWuG Oct 20, 14:27 3
        
        "get a bunch of Diet Coke..." -- nm - b. Oct 20, 14:33 2
        
        Fine. But not "a case" either. What it falls to is don't accept an errand you aren't willing to run. "I can't carry "a bunch" but I can get you two." -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:36 1
        
        I missed, did she complain about the case? I thought it was the content that was the possible contentious thing. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 14:39
  - I thought Vermin worked in Advertising? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:10
- Paradoxically, I think you did nothing wrong, but I'm betting she still thinks you were a bit of a jerk - con_carne Oct 20, 14:06
- still, the capitalist thing to do would be to sell the diet pepsis at a markup to willing consumers. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:02
andrea, are you still here? -- nm - chromanda Oct 20, 14:00 9
- *waves* -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 14:02 8
  - if you go under budget one day, can you spend the excess the next? -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 14:30 3
    - Yes, it's actually a weekly total. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:31 2
      - I have actually rolled forward weekly. last week, I had $60 but spent $4 less. this week I would consider that $4 fair game. - chromanda Oct 20, 14:33 1
        
        The psychology of this whole project is kind of fascinating. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:35
  - I have a job interview on friday in a place I don't live. I have friends there, yes, but I would like to stay in a hotel thursday night. is this unrea - chromanda Oct 20, 14:05 3
    - because it is an expense being incurred in order for you to make future monies, the hotel is 'outside budget.' -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 14:09 1
      - this was my thought. (obvs I am not staying at the ritz. we're talking $60.) -- nm - chromanda Oct 20, 14:10
    - i am not andie but no - hachiko Oct 20, 14:08
WTF. Zach Snyder directed Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 20, 13:59 2
- Yes. You should see the abs on Metalbeak! -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 14:00 1
  - LMAO--- pretty there's a Zombie Owl in there somewhere too. -- nm - Matrix_Mafia Oct 20, 14:22

- Would never have guessed that our robot overlords would be made of legos. -- nm - pmb Oct 20, 14:00 1
  - yeah it doesn't seem very threatening. -- nm - sycor Oct 20, 14:04
MH whine ... I cannot log in to get the Halloween Cheese Dammit! grrrrr -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 13:58 2
- nobody likes a halloween cheese whiner, jenbro -- nm - hachiko Oct 20, 14:04
- Patience. The even runs through Halloween at least and probably longer. -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 14:02
passengers aren't the only ones fed up with airport security procedures -- (link) - znufrii Oct 20, 13:57 2
- if I'm ever offered the choice between backscatter and strip search, I think I'd take strip search. - mafic Oct 20, 14:35
- I read the guy's post yesterday. I dunno. The airport has two options, and he declined both. - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 20, 14:06
Question for the B-Day Bery ... will the cake be for you OR designed for Kieran to partake? Happy B-Day!!! - JenBro Oct 20, 13:57 2
- *but*, serious answer .. I never did specify. I usually like DQ log cakes, or black forest cake. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:05
- kieran is not on solid foods yet, and I don't particularly want a boob juice "cake" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:02
dancing robot cowboy taco. entertaining webcam feed. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 13:57
(Bioshock 2 is $17.99 on Amazon Lightning Deal right now.) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 13:53
Is that a drainage Ditch? -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 13:53 2
- No, she is just happy to see you. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 13:55 1
  - L3 -- nm - sycor Oct 20, 14:04
I am just a new boy, stranger in this town. Where are all the good times? Who's gonna show this stranger around? -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 13:52 2
- Will some woman in this desert land, make me feel like a real man? Take this rock'n'roll refugee - Oooh, Babe, set me free.. -- nm - Facto, full of young lust Oct 20, 13:56
- Did you register first? -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 13:53
