Jeebus. It cost Canada $105 million to convict Robert Pickton (pig farmer who moonlighted as a serial killer) -- (link) - Beaker Nov 16, 10:25 5
- why is the Canadian Government paying 12 million for Pickton's defense team? -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 10:26 3
  - probably cause he couldn;t foot the bill himself "if you can't afford one etc etc" -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 10:27 2
    - that is fine, I'm just wondering why they cost more than the prosecution, expert defense witnesses? - crash davis Nov 16, 10:29 1
      - this sounds likely. The prosecution's expert witnesses would likely be investigators. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 10:35
- given how many people he killed, more like serial killer who moonlighted as a pig farmer -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 10:25
Hey Dawson, this apparently just came out today with regards to UA/CO - ty97 Nov 16, 10:24 4
- [deleted] 3

    - [deleted] 1
      - ugh, that sucks. I only have ~1000 miles in UA so it really doesn't impact me. - ty97 Nov 16, 10:31
argh. How did Sara Cox ever have the morning show slot? - ty97 Nov 16, 10:21 4
- Blow jobs, most likely. -- nm - Dano Nov 16, 10:40
- Yeah, back when I listened, she was the indicator it was time to change stations. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:21 2
  - She's been relegated to weekends,so I normally don't here her, but she's sitting in for Scott -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:25 1
    - Oh great, As if it couldn't get worse, the Whip My Hair horror is on now -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:26
Philadelphia just scored again. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:18 4
- Be honest, were you at all worried I'd catch up? - Will Hunting Nov 16, 10:30 2

  - he'll get it backward there too. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 10:19
- aww man. i *knew* you were going there but i clicked anyway. -- nm - kare Nov 16, 10:18 6
  - well, there *was* a warning there and stuff -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 16, 10:21 5
    - it said "poss" as in possibly tmi. there is no possibly about it -- nm - dogbert Nov 16, 10:22 2
      - yeah that's true! - kare Nov 16, 10:23
      - once read cannot be unread. Need brain scrubber stat -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 10:23
    - oh, i know. i have only myself to blame. -- nm - kare Nov 16, 10:21 1
      - when it says TMI, it is always TMI, and yet I always click and regret it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:34
- Nope. For the fork. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:18
"Two Beavers are better than one..." -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 10:09 14

  - *leans back, puts hands behind head* -- nm - Alan Thicke Nov 16, 10:15 1

  - *bluescreen* -- nm - Max Nov 16, 10:12
  - Her beaver can eat 8 inches of wood every 45 minutes. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:11 1
    - ::gets out his ice cream cone:: -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:12
- 23 times 3? -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:09 4
  - heh. I missed that one. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 10:16 1
    - Right before Barney turned the DVD off -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 10:18
  - that was great how they let that one hang out there -- nm - dogbert Nov 16, 10:15 1
    - Yeah, just long enough to give it the chance to dawn on you. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:17
Tim's thing makes me realize that we ought to do some group projects wherein we do Match.com pages for single folks here. - David Nov 16, 10:06 30
- lemme see, what assemblage of words are catnip to a Mary Lynn Rajskub clone? -- nm - crash davis Nov 16, 10:45
- also, Tim, that's really sucky, dude. I'm sorry that happened. total bullet-dodge, for what it's worth. -- nm - kare Nov 16, 10:14 2
  - Thanks kare and everyone. Writing the whole story was definitely cathartic. -- nm - Tim Nov 16, 10:16 1
    - the good thing, which is admittedly not very helpful, is that in the future you'll spot this behavior in the future. Trust us. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:23
- a couple of months before i met jeff, i had the fleeting desire to have my friend Vix write up a profile for me. - kare Nov 16, 10:13
- well, I guess I can lose hope on ever dating again -- nm - dogbert Nov 16, 10:11
- And this is where I run and hide. -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:06 3
  - You and Dano are two people I think we'd do a much better job of selling that either of you would do on your own. - David Nov 16, 10:09 2
    - "$2.00" -- nm - Max Nov 16, 10:10
    - agreed on both counts. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:10
- I would also suggest to Tim that he dodged a bullet. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:06 17
  - A WoW friend who's not in the guild has made me aware of this. - Tim Nov 16, 10:12 8
    - Put me in, Coach. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:13
    - the bullet is never worth it. trust me. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:13 6
      - That's debatable. It's all in how you choose to handle these situations. -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:15 5
        
        hmmm. well, put it this way. If you *know* it is a bullet, it's time to dodge it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:36
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:20
        
        it also helps you to learn and do better next time. (insert wise comment about bullet proof vests and others only being able to shoot blanks in time) - kare Nov 16, 10:17 1
        
        it's definitely a learning experience. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:22
        
        for instance: catch the bullet in your teeth. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 10:16
  - Yep...that's a selfish person. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:10
  - Agreed. It was an indescribably hurtful move to pick someone in his own group. - David Nov 16, 10:08 2
    - The only saving grace is that he can totally kill her in WoW when he gets over this. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:10 1
      - oooo....he can kill both of them and start a new group! -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 10:20
  - I agree completely. whole lot of bullshit there. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:08
  - Yeah, I thought the same, but figured it was too soon. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:07 2
    - you were right, way back on B2 it was too soon, now that enough time has passed the time has come for things to be said -- nm - dogbert Nov 16, 10:13
    - maybe he can get some "what if" sex and then thank the gawds he didn't get more involved. -- nm - zork Nov 16, 10:09
- I will write yours for you. - Spawn Nov 16, 10:06
- let's start with Redmond. -- nm - loosilu Nov 16, 10:06
And that TX Democrat that won in 1990 barely won after the GOP nom made a gaffe that could be interpreted as 'women should lay back and enjoy rape' -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:04 1
- yeah but only 6 of 47 governors have been republican -- nm - Capstern Nov 16, 10:29
[deleted] 32
- I mean that it took us down the wrong path. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:05 31
  - I don't know that I agree with some of this... - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:13 28
    - If everything else was the same except (for example) we made women wear headcoverings and didn't eat pork or drink alcohol, would things have changed? - Reagen Nov 16, 10:22 11
      - nope it would change nothing - Danedukenuuk Nov 16, 10:45
      - I think if you did those things and lived under Shria...I think a good portion of the Jihadists would leave us alone, yes. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:30 8
        
        They'd have no reason to act if we weren't over there. The fact that we wouldn't be Muslims wouldn't enter into it. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:34 7
        
        If it weren't US Troops in Saudi Arabia it would be some other pretext. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:40 4
        
        Disagree. If the US and NATO pulled every bit of personnel and aid out of those countries and said "we're never coming back" - Max Nov 16, 10:45 1
        
        (personnel, financial aid, and lip service) -- nm - Max Nov 16, 10:46
        
        I think you have it precisely backwards. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 10:41
        
        But who does he convince to be his foot soldiers? -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 10:41
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm not sure what you mean. They acted for a very specific reason but "our freedoms" don't enter into it. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:39
      - [deleted]
    - There's an interpretation of Jihad that makes all Non-Muslims fair game for attack... just for being non-Muslims -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:19 4
      - and there's an interpretation of passages in the Bible that justifies slavery. - znufrii Nov 16, 10:22 2
        
        I'm fairly certain the Koran contains no mention of Jihad (that's a later invention), so I'm not sure how apt this is -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:28 1
        
        I'm honestly not familiar enough with it to say one way or the other - znufrii Nov 16, 10:30
      - My second favorite West Wing bit - David Nov 16, 10:22
    - They don't hate us for our freedoms as much as hate us for how our freedoms affect "their" societies and way of life -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 10:16 9
      - No...I think part of it is that they hate us for having an open society plain and simple. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:21 5
        
        Personaly, I think the people we're talking about could care less about what the corrupt decadent West does, just as long as they keep their corrupt - Roger More Nov 16, 10:31 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Yes. From our perspective it means "might as well not exist" because in the West we (generally) believe in an open society - Roger More Nov 16, 10:48
        
        I don't see anyone strapping on a bomb over CSI Miami. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 10:40
        
        This, exactly. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 10:34
      - [deleted] 2
        
        it affects their feelings of ownership over the society they belong to. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 10:24
        
        Yep - that's why I used the inverted commas around their. -- nm - Roger More Nov 16, 10:22
    - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 1
    - The weird thing is that we actually seemed to be over it to some extent - Reagen Nov 16, 10:09
Meanwhile, could someone maim Katy Perry's vocal cords? -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:02 16
- Glee got it's highest selling single thanks to her (the acapella version of Tennage Dream) -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 10:07
- If that means we will see less of her, no. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:05 1
  - She'd be a beautiful spokesperson for the Mute League of America -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 10:07
- Stop listening to Radio 1. 6Music is where it's at. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 10:05 2
  - If I hear anything more about this engagement, I might vomit. - ty97 Nov 16, 10:06 1
    - There's always the podcast or iPlayer. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 10:07
- Hi there! I'll gladly work on it. -- nm - Russel Brandt's Penis Nov 16, 10:05 9
  - This is a phenomenal joke. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:13
  - L3 -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 10:06
  - Tangent: Amy read his first book. From what she mentioned, I am intrigued. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 10:06 6
    - I saw an interview where he was promoting his latest book. He has interesting things to say about fame, pop culture, the media -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:08 3
      - He's like the straight Kenneth Williams. -- nm - LMS Nov 16, 10:09 1
        
        as in the Carry-On guy? -- nm - zork Nov 16, 10:19
      - esp. in England -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:08
    - He seems to be an interesting person. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 10:07 1
      - The only part she told me much of was his meeting KP. spoil - Spawn Nov 16, 10:09
And then there's the whole "cyberterrorism" thing -- nm - con_carne Nov 16, 10:02 1
- [deleted]
boy, it's crazy to think we used to settle questions of paternity by dunking a woman in water until she admitted she made it all up. -- nm - dogbert Nov 16, 10:01 3
- police interrogation rooms often are not much better. If they think you did it, they dog you until you admit. -- nm - zork Nov 16, 10:03
- The DOJ Lawyers say that's ok too. -- nm - Dubya Nov 16, 10:02
- hey, if it works ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 10:02
caller: "Have you made the robot (robonaut.jsc.nasa.gov/) play video games?" host (Kojo): "Anything you can say on air, he means." - NPR Tech Tuesday NASA interview Nov 16, 10:00 5
- "Come quick, Morpheus is fighting Neo!" - Will Hunting Nov 16, 10:02 1
  - It sounds meta. Ideal for a BoingBoing post. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 10:21
- which fight sequence? the Dojo? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 10:01 2
  - who cares! it's a *robot* that knows *kung fu* -- nm - whoa Nov 16, 10:02 1
    - Historians will call it "Robot Zero" -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 10:03
