~Nothing lasts forever, even hot November rain~ -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 11:58
WTF November? - Spawn Nov 8, 11:48 9
- Meanwhile, I had to wear pants this weekend. That's not supposed to happen until Christmas. -- nm - David Nov 8, 12:01
- I've been alternating heat and AC the last week. - Will Hunting Nov 8, 11:54 2
  - Me extra blanket and open up the windows -- nm - amoxy Nov 8, 11:56 1
    - Yeah, I hate turning the AC back on. I'd rather keep the house on the cold side to prepare for predicted heat. -- nm - mara Nov 8, 11:59
- Ask mandypants about the temperature in NH after dark. - Max Nov 8, 11:54
- Jeez. We had the heat on a lot this weekend. Just 35F when I left for work this morning. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 8, 11:51
- play some Guns 'n Roses -- nm - zork Nov 8, 11:49
- [deleted] 1
  - crazy indded -- nm - Beaker Nov 8, 11:58
Reports that Wade Phillips has been fired. -- nm - mara Nov 8, 11:43 2
- *sees thread below* Duh. -- nm - mara Nov 8, 11:47 1
  - dumbass, whispered by mara -- nm - ty97 Nov 8, 11:53
LIR: mrs. zork saw Obama on Oprah back in 2006 (before any announcement of running for POTUS) and she says that he came across as extrememly arrogant. -- nm - zork Nov 8, 11:42 1
- Yeah, I buy that. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Nov 8, 11:52
A full NaNo excerpt will come during the night hours, but I'm particularly proud of this groan inducing gem. - Qale Nov 8, 11:42
Was there a recent movie that had a fight scene choreographed to ABBA's "Fernando"? - amoxy Nov 8, 11:40 6
- this will be stuck in my head for days now. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 11:45 2
  - Which is fine for today, because it does remind me of the aforementioned Community scene :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 8, 11:48
  - *pulls a blade* -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 11:46
- Wikipedia has movies listed -- (link) - oblique Nov 8, 11:41
- community kinda had one -- nm - dogbert Nov 8, 11:41 1
  - That's what I was thinking of. VG Mr. D -- nm - amoxy Nov 8, 11:44
Things could change anytime, of course. But as of 10 minutes ago, the Cowboys had not fired HC Wade Phillips. -- nm - budice Nov 8, 11:37 24
- [deleted] 23
  - This accomplishes *nothing*. - Spawn Nov 8, 11:42 21
    - It does accomplish something. Garrett's contract states he will be the next coach of the Cowboys. - David Nov 8, 11:48 6
      - Ohhh, did not know that. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 11:49 5
        
        This is why you should never promise a coordinator the job in the pros. - David Nov 8, 11:51 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I'm wrong. - David Nov 8, 12:00 1
        
        YOU LIED!!! -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 12:08
        
        Well, that same personnel for the Cowgirls won 12 out of 18 games last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 11:53
    - Which is perfect given he'll now have 7 games to do something or they can cut bait and start fresh like they should. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 11:47 11
      - [deleted] 1
        
        And until he actually DOES blame himself, the Cowboys will continue to struggle. -- nm - Jim Nov 8, 11:49
      - It gives Jerry the chance to see how Garrett is as a head coach, without actually committing to him. - Jim Nov 8, 11:48 8
        
        My guess is that he takes a run at Belichick first then Cowher. -- nm - David Nov 8, 11:49 7
        
        Is Belichick's contract up after this season, or something? If so, I could see that. nm - Jim Nov 8, 11:50 2
        
        He is under contract through 2013 but his name has been tied with the Cowboys some. - David Nov 8, 11:54
        
        I can't imagine him working for Jerry Jones. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 8, 11:51
        
        MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!! -- nm - Nick Saban si Nov 8, 11:50 3
        
        I found it interesting that Tom Izzo says Saban told him to stay at his job. - David Nov 8, 11:52 1
        
        heh -- nm - Don Homer Nov 8, 11:52
        
        Must be funny! -- nm - ABBA Nov 8, 11:52
    - Well, it puts them first in line for all the big name coaches out there. - Jim Nov 8, 11:44 1
      - Oh yeah, I told Remlik before the games yesterday that Cowher will be a Cowboy next year. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 11:47
  - Press conference scheduled for 4pm (2.5 hours from now). -- (link) - not2fast Nov 8, 11:41
Thanks for the suggestions below everyone, I'll make sure to put them to good use. -- nm - samara Nov 8, 11:26 12
- Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting Meatloaf's movies, just his music. - David Nov 8, 11:45 1
  - To your IM...he will do ANYthing for love, ya know. nm - Jim Nov 8, 11:46
- Most people obviously joke at my music taste but Robyn's album is actually really solid. - MDH Nov 8, 11:30 9
  - I definitely have my specific tastes, but far be it from me to criticize anyone elses. If that's what you like, more power to you. -- nm - samara Nov 8, 11:36
  - I have the one that was her big first hit album in the US and I dig it. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 8, 11:34
  - Sparkles? -- nm - oblique Nov 8, 11:32 4
    - What? -- nm - MDH Nov 8, 11:34 3
      - Robin Sparkles? --nm - oblique Nov 8, 11:37 2
        
        Oh wow, not surprised she has a Facebook page -- nm - amoxy Nov 8, 11:37 1
        
        HIMYM is actually pretty good in using social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc) to promote the show -- nm - oblique Nov 8, 11:38
  - I have two of her earlier albums and a pandora station dedicated to her music. -- nm - Max Nov 8, 11:32 1
    - She's released 2 Body Talk albums this year and 1 more to go. They are incredible. -- nm - MDH Nov 8, 11:35
The epitome of good news / bad news: 69 children, 99 pimps found in national bust -- (link) - not2fast Nov 8, 11:24 1
- So 30 pimps with no hookers.....sounds like a really crummy Halloween party. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 8, 11:24
Because ST could use a laugh: Ke$ha has released her most ridiculous song yet "Cannibal" -- (link) - MDH Nov 8, 11:22 [youtube] 2
- Jennifer's Body 2: Electric Boogaloo! -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 11:37
- "But now that I'm famous, you're up my anus" Wow, high school has changed since I was a kid. -- nm - not2fast Nov 8, 11:27

- You will become a *pacrat* of academia... -- nm - con_carne Nov 8, 11:10 1
  - why not ... i'm already a pacrat of a bunch of other craps hehehe -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 8, 11:27
- Of course - you *can* do it. Don't forget to check for any potential scholarships. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 8, 11:10
- of course. -- nm - loosilu Nov 8, 11:10
- sure, what state are you going to college in? -- nm - ceregon Nov 8, 11:06 2

Oxymoron: Humble politician. -- nm - znufrii Nov 8, 11:03 10
- [deleted]
- As I posted on B2, this is very much true. No matter how humble you are, you still believe you know better than others and should dictate... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 8, 11:20 8
  - You're confusing confidence with arrogance in your b2 post. - David Nov 8, 11:23 2
    - Sure they aren't. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 8, 11:28 1
      - It's suggestive of someone with self-confidence and a belief in himself. You need to look up the definition of arrogance. -- nm - David Nov 8, 11:44
  - Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think this is the simpliest test of whether he's in a selection group of "ego" pols. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 8, 11:22 2
    - [deleted]
    - That's like saying that anyone who wants the ball for the last shot is arrogant. It's just silly. -- nm - David Nov 8, 11:25
  - are we talking about politics or st advice threads?...nm - x Nov 8, 11:21 1
    - Heh. Well, as a wannabe political hack... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 8, 11:23
hmm, any canadians here tried out Netflix? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 11:01 9
- or, alternatively, anyone know how well Netflix performs on the Wii? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 11:03 8
  - The Wii version was one of the better UI that I've seen (Roku, my DVD player, Wii, Windows Media Center) - oblique Nov 8, 11:07 7
    - hrm. Just torn on whether I should get a PS3, for bluray+dvd+netflix+NAS-streaming ... or a blu ray player, and maybe a media box later -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 11:08 6
      - I'd go for a Bluray player with Netflix if I was buying something. I wasn't terribly impressed with Samsung's performance (kinda sluggish) but it - oblique Nov 8, 11:17 3
        
        which is what the ps3 offers -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 11:18 2
        
        Except I got mine for about 1/3 of the price of a PS3 -- nm - oblique Nov 8, 11:22
        
        Maybe I can talk a sales guy into letting me try it and see if it works for me and then return it if it doesn't, or something. - Beryllium Nov 8, 11:20
      - PS3! PS3!! PS3!!! -- nm - Stephen Nov 8, 11:09 1
        
        $299 is just a bit steep, especially since we wouldn't really be planning to use it for games very much at all -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 11:09
Vaccination done. Kids and wife in about half an hour... -- nm - Beaker Nov 8, 11:00
What's currently in heavy rotation on your iPod or whatever music listening device you use? I need some fresh ideas. -- nm - samara Nov 8, 10:59 19

i wonder if anyone tracks the songs used in movie soundtracks. cause i think ACDC would be having a great year. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 8, 10:59 2
- I've been saying this for years, but I would love for there to be a nice - complete - database style site (a la imdb) that tracks songs in movies and - Don Homer Nov 8, 11:01 1
  - Max has a spreadhseet for this. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 11:19
ahahaha! Lottery ticket purchased at adult book/toy store nextdoor to a strip club. Would YOU claim the ticket? -- (link) - CrankYanker Nov 8, 10:59 19
- If you had no problem purchasing it from there in the first place why would you have a problem claiming it from there? -- nm - Stephen Nov 8, 11:06 2
  - Some people don't think that far ahead. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Nov 8, 11:07
