sweetness, got some striped bass for dinner tonight. It's almost impossible to cast off the beach and not catch one early morning or early evening. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 21, 09:10
I just left a speech by GWB. It's oddly like watching a guy do an impression of himself. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 09:05 6
- Or was it Will Ferrell on tour? Those two could go on the road together. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Oct 21, 09:11 1
  - The height thing becomes an issue then. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:12
- I wonder if that's because we' ve seen people do impressions of him, or simply because he seems like a very ideosyncratic speaker. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 09:08 2
  - I think it's because you really expect that the impressionists are exaggerating the ideosyncracies for humor and effect . . . but they're not. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 09:14 1
    - I'm actually .... surprised that no..one has really done an...impression of Obama's ... speaking patterns. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 09:25

- "fuck you San Diego" -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 09:06
I love commenters calling Politico liberal for publishing something critical of Palin. First time reading the site, is it? -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 08:55 15
- And I love the comments about Juan Williams NPR firing - amoxy Oct 21, 08:58 14
  - IT'S A LOVE FEST! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 21, 09:04
  - It's just as well he's off the air, IMO. Everyone pronouncing his name as "Won" Williams is like nails on a chalkboard to me. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 09:01 12
    - This coming from Lon. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 09:10
    - how is his name supposed to be pronounced? -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 09:04 10
      - The Spanish "j" has an "h" sound along with it. Not unlike the way English-speakers are supposed to pronounce "wh." -- nm - mara Oct 21, 09:07 9
        
        yes, I know, I took Spanish. But pronounciations vary. Hence Matt "Die-az". -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 09:09 8
        
        Of course they vary, but if you asked a Spanish speaking person "Donde esta 'Won?'" they will probably think you said "one." Which is dumb. - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 09:14 2
        
        But here's my point - it's a name. There is no "wrong" pronounciation. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 09:18 1
        
        As I've said before, I'm no pronunciation Nazi. Whichever pronunciation gets the message across, go with that one. - Lon_cHaneY Oct 21, 09:22
        
        So you think it's possible con_carne thinks it's supposed to be pronounced Jew-an? -- nm - mara Oct 21, 09:12 4
        
        No, but perhaps Juan Williams himself pronounces it "won". - musubi Oct 21, 09:21 2
        
        He's just saying it bugs him. -- nm - mara Oct 21, 09:22 1
        
        Fair nuff. Matt "Die-az" sounds weird to me too. (nm) - musubi Oct 21, 09:30
        
        No, I'm asking a rhetorical question. - Reagen Oct 21, 09:13

- Sounds like my soulmate. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 08:48 2

- And BTW, I LOVE the Atom map. - Spawn Oct 21, 09:21 1
  - Which map is this? Did they already release DLC? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 09:26
- And surviving a round of Firefight (no deaths) is only worth 500? Did they forget how freaking long they last now? -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:05 2
  - I do not evenbother if it is under 750. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 09:14 1
    - Yeah, a lot of the small ones just *happen*, but that one is insane. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:24
- I don;t mind it but 200 is insane. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:43 18
  - that's two gruntapocalypse games -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 08:55 12

      - score attack single player. I got 4 of the 5 challeneges in two games. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 08:56 10
        
        Hmm. Have yet to try that one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:57 1
        
        easy way to rack up points at least 1100 a game. That's not including commendations. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 08:59
        
        I need to do this tonight. I got one of yesterday's challenges. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:57 7
        
        there are several places to find it - bungie.net forum, bungie.net personal service record, in game at the menu screen or matchmaking screen hit start -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 09:10
        
        it is usually the challenge at the bottom of the list on screen. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 09:07
        
        There is an advanced list or do you mean the daily ones? -- (link) - Spawn Oct 21, 09:03 3
        
        I only ever see you doing campaign at night. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 21, 09:12 1
        
        This week. I do the challenge stuff at the end of the night. Think I did 2 or 3 last night. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:13
        
        Oh, if groiny is right then it is there, too. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:10
        
        Tru can tell you easier than I can. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 09:00
  - It will be more time consuming for sure. Does Bungie realize how much time they will be forcing me to play on my wife's birthday? -- nm - crash davis Oct 21, 08:45 4
    - Well, they know of her love of Tombstone so they wanted to pay her tribute. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:46 3
      - this is true. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 08:55 2
        
        I mean, two days in a row so it would be obvious worked. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:56 1
        
        I think Bungee hangs out on ST. truman caused them to drop tanks, groiny said he wanted more maps and that same day got them... -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:57
NY Politician rigged the bidding process for a casino in NYC in favor of a political contributor? -- (link) - znufrii Oct 21, 08:41 3

"Racy" GQ photoshoot for Glee (the PTC saying it is like pedophilia when the stars are in their 20's/30's is funny) -- (link) - Beaker Oct 21, 08:35 11

    - Wasn't she actually 17 then? -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 08:47 7
      - Uhm, read the thread. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:48 6
        
        Oh, I see. That is twisted. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:49 5
        
        Depending on when the filmed the video, she could have even been 16 -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 08:52 4
        
        In my mind, there is no difference between a 16 yo dressing/acting like a slut on film and a 25 yo looking like one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:54 2
        
        it didn't hurt Britney at all! -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 09:13 1
        
        That is not the point of this thread. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 09:14

- yep....nm - x Oct 21, 08:35
i think this is one of the least discussed reasons why the u.s. doesn't create jobs off of recession the way it used to... - x Oct 21, 08:33 2
- I figured this was commonly known (perhaps because it's so visible to me) - ty97 Oct 21, 09:13 1
  - given how it's almost never discussed (even with u6 over 17%) I don't believe it is at all... - x Oct 21, 09:29
Argh...the vicodin's do nothing! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:31 7
