- Was it like Indian spicy or Mexican spicy? -- nm - portable jones Nov 5, 09:05
"I'm going to google myself. Can I use your computer?" -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 09:01 4

Here's my spin on a Back to the Future remake... - Mop (220 lbs) Nov 5, 08:59 8
- Is this a real thing or just Mopmusings. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 09:05 1
  - Since it is mop, and it has not already been made, it must be musings. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:05
- Here's my spin on a Back to the Future remake ... - Beryllium Nov 5, 09:02 4
  - this -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 09:02 3
    - Cowards. I'll get right on it after Ghostbusters 3 wraps. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Nov 5, 09:03 1
      - Too much time has went by. I would put a remake/reimagining a couple points higher, but still. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:04
    - word -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:03
- Well, more of a sequel, really. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Nov 5, 08:59

When you go onto google maps, how does google know what country you're in? - Loyola Nov 5, 08:55 4
- Google Knows. -- nm - Mop (220 lbs) Nov 5, 09:00

- I don't know why. I love horse stories - oblique Nov 5, 08:57
- thanks, i hadn't seen that....nm - x Nov 5, 08:54 2
  - I'm just watching the Classic from last year. The move she made reminded me of Big Brown in the Preakness - Will Hunting Nov 5, 08:57 1
    - yeah, amazing. i love how she almost never wins by more than a length..... - x Nov 5, 08:59
TFox, not sure if you saw this (or are interested): Lil' Wayne's latest album I Am Not A Human Being is $4.99 on Amazon -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:46 2

  - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 09:05
Dawson: Fortunately, I think closing in Illinois is easier than NY. - ty97 Nov 5, 08:44
It's the final episode of Sherlock this weekend and the pre-credit sequence should get ST's approval (provided it isn't cut). -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:44 3
- I'm kind of souring on Sherlock. The last episode was a drag. (spoilers) - JaxSean Nov 5, 09:06
- Dumb question: that's at the beginning of the ep, right? -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:52 1
  - Correct. I should have specified opening credits really. The rest of the episode is great too. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:54
robert sietsema (who will eat anything) names the 10 most challenging dishes in nyc.... - x Nov 5, 08:43 3
- Interesting. (I assume he is related to the Washington Post's food critic Tom Sietsema?) -- nm - Don Homer Nov 5, 08:47 2
  - i actually don't know. robt has been writing in the voice for as long as i can remember....nm - x Nov 5, 08:53 1
    - I just did a quick search and it seems they are no relation. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:55
ST - Please do me a solid and forgive me for asking a question that gets asked a lot around here... - Diva Nov 5, 08:43 22
- Jealousy? Self absorbed? Letting petty differences up to the surface? -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:59
- because society has placed such importance on the day, people tend to project their expectations of what a wedding should be. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:53
- You being opinionated and judgemental? People can be like that about pretty much everything. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:48 8
  - Put "mean" after "you." Please! -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:49 7
    - no -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:54 2
      - Pleeeeease? -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:56 1
        
        OK -- nm - amoxy Nov 5, 08:58
    - (or not.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:50 2
      - "Dammit Sean!!" -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:51 1
        
        hee -- nm - JaxSean Nov 5, 08:51
    - *laughing* -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:50
- I think that will remain one of life's mysteries. - ty97 Nov 5, 08:45 7
  - it's so odd, because if someone you loved was throwing any other sort of party, you would just show up, be nice and that's it. -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 08:48 6
    - I think weddings somehow "formalize" your relationships to some people. So if they aren't asked to perform a certain role, it's terribly hurtful. - loosilu Nov 5, 08:51 3
      - And that is about as selfish as it gets. Unless your director's chair has "Bride" or "Groom" on it, it's not about you. - Jim Nov 5, 08:53 2
        
        At my wedding I was fourth in line - amoxy Nov 5, 08:58
        
        I'm certainly not defending it. :) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:53
    - I think it brings out the worst in some very sad bitter people. They see someone being happy and it highlights their own miserable existence in - Loyola Nov 5, 08:51
    - Exactly!!! -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:50
- No idea. I still don't understand how hard it is to, just for one day, allow the day to not be about them. - Jim Nov 5, 08:45 1
  - the IM made me snort. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 08:46
- I think people act strangely about weddings, full stop. It brings out every dysfunctional dynamic imaginable. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:44
Cool, I have a Twitter follower from Alaska... -- (link) - oblique Nov 5, 08:39
Excellent. It's mandy day on Twitter! :) -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 08:29

      - gracias -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 08:58 1
        
        that should be "triple winner", fwiw....nm - x Nov 5, 09:05
- Nothing tonight, hot date Sat night, lazy Sunday. -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 08:39
- making a list of things to get done, being overwhelmed by size of said list, playing video games instead -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 08:38
- I'm running a 5k tomorrow (with absolutely no training), so I expect sunday will just be spent in pain. -- nm - pmb Nov 5, 08:36 1

        I actually thought he was joking that he didn't know it. yes, it's a must go. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:38 8
        
        The Unicorn Tapestries alone are worth the trip -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:40 7
        
        Heh. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:57

        yep, best museum of its kind in the US. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:36
  - Did you get to see any of The Choir in the end? -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:32 1
    - I caught a bit of it once - znufrii Nov 5, 08:33
- swim drills. baby shower. brew day. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:30
- Try and get over my cold Saturday, Sunday morning seeing Harry Potter, then a 'Marilyn' set visit in the afternoon. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 08:30

        Sounds interesting. I'll look at it when I get home. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 5, 08:36
- Art gallery crawl tonight in a nearby town; not sure about Sat; working Sun. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:29 8
  - Nice. It's still somewhat customary here for galleries to serve free food and booze during such events. -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:35
  - I know someone doing the same thing in NC tonight. - MDH Nov 5, 08:34 6
    - It's the season for such things -- nm - con_carne Nov 5, 08:38 1
      - Pre-holiday is a great time for selling art. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:39
    - I don't think it's a national event or anything. :) -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:35
    - Didn't realize there were that many art galleries in NC to do a crawl. -- nm - sycor Nov 5, 08:35 2
      - sure, just about every city has them. some small arty towns as well. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 08:36 1
        
        And some of these will be temporary -- abondoned buildings use to exhibit stuff just for this event. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 08:38
