- It's outside the box, but I would also bet that Oakland is a pretty safe play. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 09:36 5
  - You're right and Nuditarian, amoxy, and samarra should follow your advice in the ST Yahoo survivor pool. -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:44 1
    - *bookmarks this post for Sunday evening follow-up...* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 09:59
  - Actually...I was thinking about them as well...but I worry that after such an explosion last week - Jim Oct 29, 09:37 2
    - If this was college football, I would agree. - Spawn Oct 29, 09:43
    - And watching Pete Carroll's celebrating on the sidelines would just rub salt on the wounds. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 09:38
- ML is pixie. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:33
*sigh* I can tell my cat isn't feeling well and he's old enough that I worry that it's the start of the end. - Dano Oct 29, 09:26 3

    - Second vote: IT -- their budgets are the least vulnerable. -- nm - OAE Oct 29, 09:38
    - Charge the department that you're doing the work for. Make them go after IT for a refund :) -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 29, 09:38
- My vote would be IT, but my guess it'll end up being Presidents office. (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:26
- Who pays you now? Them. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:26

  - 1st place individual costume went to the guy dressed up like Fat Jesus from the Hangover - Epiphany Oct 29, 09:48 1
    - That prize could have been yours if you hadn't spat on holiday tradition. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:48

- Do you watch Modern Family? -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:16 1
  - Not this week -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:17
I'm quite surprised at the number of "Don't tell him" responses. (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:15 12
- I just don't think it's any of his concern. -- nm - dr. frankenloosi Oct 29, 09:57
- Everything she says there a) speaks to anger in her own space and b) that he's not much different. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:18 2
  - word -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:28
  - I completely disagree. Their worlds are intertwined, like it or not. If warmth and friendship isn't possible, civility and courtesty should be the - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:21
- I was only half joking with my alimony answer. With the number of times she mentioned money or "official business", I'm thinking it possibly could - crash davis Oct 29, 09:17 6
  - The house aspect sounds very, very War of the Roses. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:23 5
    - I'm trying to figure out the timeline. Apparently, this guy couldn't sell a house in 2004-2006. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:27 4
      - Mr. Moneybags, no less. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 09:31
      - Hee! That's a funny point. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:31
      - Wrong, but so funny: Nova Bar and Restaurant, near AT&T Park, put up a sidewalk sandwich board, �Josh Hamilton Drinks Free". (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:31 1
        
        Whoops, was supposed to be a new thread. (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:31
- I would be in the Don't Tell Him camp if they had no contact or mutual friends in the last year. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 09:17
holy crap, i'm in a serious meeting, but the building keeps making noises like farting and I'm barely avoiding cracking up. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 09:13 6
- Blame it on the doghouse. -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 29, 09:15
- Yeah, it is the *building*. Sure. Uh huh. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:14 2
  - It's the ceiling, which is a bit disconcerting. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:15 1
    - Are you the key master or the gate keeper? -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:15
- These alternatives are poop! -- nm - Max Oct 29, 09:14
- Wait until they start talking about duties -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 29, 09:13
Saw the first Harry Potter when it came out, and that's it. Wondering if I should work my way through the DVDs now and go see the last 2. -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 29, 09:11 16
- the alfonso cuar�n one is not bad....nm - x Oct 29, 09:37
- I would love it if you did a mini-column series of catch-up reviews. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:20 5
  - I thought this was in response to love letters column. - Spawn Oct 29, 09:22 4
    - Everyone knows I want Andie to do the love letters. She's smarter than most of the scrubs here like you. -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:32 3
      - That is why she is my ST wife. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:32 2
        
        Your virtual ST house contractor has some bad news... -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:36 1
        
        Doh! -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:39
- Maybe ST can do a poll on which are the essential ones Dano should watch between HPs 1 and 7?... -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:12 5
  - e.g. Just off the top of my head, I'd say you can go ahead and skip Chamber and Goblet... -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:13 4
    - EPIC FAIL -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:15
    - I'm iffy on that. One thing that Rowling did that I found very good was use elements from all previous six books in resolving book seven -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:14 2
      - So at best, for me, this means Dano should go ahead and rent those, but only bother watching the last half hour of each so he wouldn't be lost - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:19
      - Exactly what I'm saying below. The first 2-3 were so intensive detail-wise becuase I'm convinced they didn't wanna miss something vital from Book 6/7 -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:16
- I would, but I'm a fan -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:12
- Yeah. It's interesting if for no other reason imo than to see the process of adaptation - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:12 1
  - Never read the books. It's always been the plan to just watch them all at once. -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 29, 09:14
another reason I'm going with KC in the survivor pool, I have to start Sam Bradford in the Feud - crash davis Oct 29, 09:10
Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 09:10

- I always heard: ~i am still living with your goat ... lonely and dreaming of a wet coat~ -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 29, 09:11 1
  - Why do you hsve the treble turned off on your speakers? -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:23
- LYC: I have recently added this song to my karaoke repertoire -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 09:11
- /~ With my big black boots and an old suitcase ~/ -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 29, 09:10 1
