Hey, colleague who's involved in a long IM question and customers at the desk, while I sit here doing nothing, why do you keep answering the phone? - mara Oct 28, 09:01 4
- In my experience, some people are just like that. They find things to do, hoard them, and have no qualms taking them from other people. - Lon_cHaneY Oct 28, 09:07
- Because you are on ST? -- nm - steve411 Oct 28, 09:02 2

- do you know my story? my house was egged in 8th grade. my dad heard them hit and chased the people down who did it. - chromanda Oct 28, 09:11 1
  - Sorry to hear. I never eggeds houses with kids. Which is odd because our garage door got egged and The Bub was *way* upset by this. - Spawn Oct 28, 09:13
- god, i hate halloween. -- nm - TFox Oct 28, 09:01
- nope. but I have tp'd trees/houses -- nm - decline Oct 28, 08:57
- No -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 28, 08:55
- [deleted]
- I actually corned a lot of houses (and some cars) but egged very few. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:54 1
  - ... and the houses I egged actually had a lot more reasons then just the candy stuff. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:56
- Yes. but as an adult. (trust me, they deserved it.) - Jack O'landie Oct 28, 08:54 2

- Ryan Leaf -- nm - decline Oct 28, 08:51
- Manning -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:48 8
  - Peyton. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:48 7
    - you came so close -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 08:50 6
      - What is his record? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:50 5
        
        Not sure, that little tidbit came in the form of a player update on Eli. I said you were close because you got the last name right. -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 08:51 4
        
        I knew what you meant, but it seems like he would have a pretty good record. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:55 3
        
        He's probably got a good record, but he's got way more games in October than Eli. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 09:06 2
        
        Prior to 2004, the Colts would start slowly. His record up through 2003 for Oct is 15-11 -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 09:09 1

So my city has suggested trick or treating hours. This year, they're saying Saturday and Sunday both. Seriously? We're supposed to hand out candy to - bloody mara Oct 28, 08:38 26
- I am still amused that for many of you the city/town sets the conditions for Halloween....Its always October 31 and its from dusk until 9 pm. - Walt_Disney Oct 28, 09:02

    - anywhere i've ever lived it's been Halloween night. Period. (tangent - i have to change my nick, even I think i'm Jack.) -- nm - Jack O'landie Oct 28, 08:48
    - this. It's dark here at like 7pm anyways and our official hours are never much past dark so who cares if it is Sunday? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 28, 08:47

  - You have to bring hookers? -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 28, 08:46 1
    - No, they bring Johns, silly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:49

  - ... in bed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44
- It's Saturday from 6-8 here. I'll have to put out a bowl, I fully expect the second person to take it all. -- nm - Ender Oct 28, 08:42 5
  - Put up a sign that says they are being videotaped. -- nm - Dano Oct 28, 08:44 2

  - Did you watch Modern Family or Cougar Town? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44 1
    - Yeah. My plan is to get a couple bags of good stuff and then a whole bunch of the generic stuff people wouldn't want to steal. -- nm - Ender Oct 28, 08:49
- They do both nights right across the river from us in Alton, IL. Something about the Halloween parade on 10/31... - Jim Oct 28, 08:41
- Uh, it actually means you can choose to do either one. If we were going to be home, we would take The Bub out one night and give candy for the other. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:41 4
  - and a large number of kids will go out both nights...I know I sure as heck would of -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 08:42 3
    - Hell yeah. The beauty of it is, your house is safer if you are not giving out candy this way. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:43 2
      - This is amusing. I suspect it might be a bit naive and idealistic, but I like the logic. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 08:45 1
        
        heh. It would have got me to not egg a house (unless it was nearby and I knew what they were pulling). -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:48
- that is crazy town. no way should it be 2 nights -- nm - Beaker Oct 28, 08:41

Have we discussed the Askmen.com Top 10 Misleading Career Paths? I think it is right on point. -- (link) - not2fast Oct 28, 08:32 13

ST Excel help needed: I have two spreadsheets to compare and mark all differences. Any favorite ways to do this? - Lon_cHaneY Oct 28, 08:24 6
- two separate files, or two sheets in the same workbook? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 08:26 5
  - Two separate files, but I assumed that didn't matter. I was thinking of just pasting them both into a third sheet. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 28, 08:28 4
    - From what I recall of the last time I did it (four years ago) it takes a lot of extra effort to load data from separate files. Whereas you can just - Beryllium Oct 28, 08:30 3
