quick q: how long should my old series 2 tivo take to power up? - musubi Dec 22, 21:00 3
- It's hung. Unplug it, give it a bit for the hard drive to power down then re-try. - David Dec 22, 21:06
- Ours crapped out about 2 months ago. Just sits at that screen forever. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 21:05
- hmmm, it does take a while, not sure if it's that long -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 21:03
ah, Elf -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 20:58
LIR for Pixie how about strangers who look like your family? - Pippy Dec 22, 20:44 20
- related: THere needs to be a signal when freckled people see each other. Like a salute or a thumbs up. It's so rare when we see each other. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:46 19
  - Uhm.. What? Freckled people aren't rare and they certainly aren't invisible. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 20:47 18
    - freckled all over like a leopard? not so common. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:49 17
      - So how would one tell if they should signal another? Are you going to go around signalling random people until you find one who knows what you mean? - TWuG Dec 22, 20:53 16
        
        uh no .... we see the freckles. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:56 15
        
        How do you see that they are freckled *all over*? Are you living in a nudist colony or something? -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 21:00 10
        
        ohfer. when it's on the arms, it's eveyrwhere. - loosilu Dec 22, 21:03 9
        
        And you need a special signal to let her know she has freckles all over and so do you? -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 21:04 8
        
        tell you what, spend 40 years with a pattern all over your body, then we'll talk. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 21:05 7
        
        I think you might be projecting a personal hangup on the whole freckled population. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 21:08 6
        
        absolutely not. I'm not the only person who's been stopped in the street and asked if I have a disease. - loosilu Dec 22, 21:09 5
        
        So, you hate being focused on because of your freckles and your answer to that is a special "focus on my freckles" signal? -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 21:11 4
        
        um, no. - loosilu Dec 22, 21:13 3
        
        And you know this is a common experience because you attend freckle conventions? Read the newsletter? - TWuG Dec 22, 21:19 2
        
        also,... I am at a loss as to why you care. - loosilu Dec 22, 21:21
        
        because if I get stared at every day (and I did today), - loosilu Dec 22, 21:20
        
        so then you don't really need a secret signal to each other -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 20:57 3
        
        we look at each other. it would be nice if there were an official thing. - loosilu Dec 22, 21:00 2
        
        "Uh, yeah, sorry, I was looking at you because you have freckles and I bet they're all over your body... But I wasn't thinking of you naked!" - TWuG Dec 22, 21:01 1
        
        you nonfreckled people just don't understand. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 21:04
I'm obviously 6 months late to this party, but the Sucker Punch trailer looks fun. -- (link) - JaxSean Dec 22, 20:44 [youtube] 1
- I was late too, wf -- nm - Pippy Dec 22, 20:45
"Love the Nubs" should be *the* slogan of 2011, right? (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Dec 22, 20:37 [youtube] 2
- Those nubs penetrate. Oh yeah. Lasting relief. Ohhhhh yeah. -- nm - nubby Dec 22, 20:43
- HELL. YES. -- nm - nubby Dec 22, 20:41
So I watched last week's two episodes of Psych: What happened to the funny? - TWuG Dec 22, 20:28 11
- They may have been saving it up for tonight. Tonight's was excellent. -- nm - Ender Dec 22, 20:37 5
  - I hope so. If it sucks as bad as the rest of the season I won't even bother to watch it next year. -- nm - TWuG Dec 22, 20:39 4
    - wait, what? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:42 3
      - I'll drop it from my DVR. It's stopped entertaining me. - TWuG Dec 22, 20:44 2
        
        I thought the beginning of the season was a bit down, but the second hafl the writing got much tighter and funnier. - JaxSean Dec 22, 20:51 1
        
        The holiday episode was so forced. Every bit of humor was a stretch. - TWuG Dec 22, 20:54
- urdumb -- nm - David Dec 22, 20:31 3
  - True, but not nearly as stupid as Psych has been. I don't know what changed, but the humor is forced, the plots are insipid and - TWuG Dec 22, 20:37 2
    - I'm still enjoying it, but I see where you're coming from. -- nm - nubby Dec 22, 20:42
    - dumbdumbdumb -- nm - David Dec 22, 20:39
- hmmm, I thought they were fine. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:29

This is why I hate George Lopez. - nubby Dec 22, 20:26
*loved* Easy A. Great movie. -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 20:24
"...oh, so you guys decided to do a ham for Christmas dinner? I was really hoping you'd do a turkey, cause that's what I was looking forward to..." - Ashlee's Grandma Dec 22, 20:22
belatedly and probably going to missed but nmbMDH - Qale Dec 22, 20:21
Top Chef All Stars ... the quick fire challenge was like they had Pixie in mind! -- nm - JenBro Dec 22, 20:21 2
- is this going to be on the quiz? -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 20:29 1
  - you bet your sopping wet butt it is :D -- nm - JenBro Dec 22, 20:34
Mel did you post a fight girl video on FB? -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 20:10 14
- Damn, I wanted to watch the Girl Fight video -- nm - amoxy Dec 22, 20:28
- crud. No. Why? - Mel Profit Dec 22, 20:24 10
  - yikes, did you recently click on a FB link? maybe "When I watched this video, I cried"? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:25 9
    - I clicked on something. - Mel Profit Dec 22, 20:27 8
      - it's going around this week. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:30 7

        "foo*d* fetish! damn autocorrect" -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 20:38 2
        
        fool fetish -- nm - Dano Dec 22, 20:53 1
        
        ouch. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 20:58
- I was just going to post this. - Stephen Dec 22, 20:16 1
  - I did like the Galaxy. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 22, 20:25
for kelly: TOtal Wine in my area is still selling Cranberry Lambic as singles. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:09 8
- ahh, thanks. I am going to have my mother look for them tomorrow. - kelly Dec 22, 20:15 7
  - if she doesn't succeed, let me know and I will pick some up next week. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:18 6
    - ok, thanks. -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 20:19 5
      - and I'll pick up some other fruity beers I think you'd like. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:22 4
        
        Can you pick up my laundry? -- nm - amoxy Dec 22, 20:24 1
        
        is it beer flavored? -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:26
        
        but...but...I *like* the inferior ones! :p -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 20:23 1
        
        exactly!! ;P -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 20:26
Chipper Jones has begun running hills around his suburban Atlanta, Georgia home. - nubby Dec 22, 19:59
HTTYD: A/A+ -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 19:46 3
- It encapsulates everything that's great about pet ownership. -- nm - David Dec 22, 20:28
- agreed. -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 19:47 1
  - spawn's dislike of this movie will just shows how incredibly wrong he is. -- nm - tRuMaN hasn't met you yet. Dec 22, 19:49
LYC: Today is my MMO's 5th Anniversary. (Flyff) So they had a 5x exp event for 1 day. Even playing for 6 hours, in 2 hour bursts, according to Koreans - Qale Dec 22, 19:39 3
- I don't even know where to start to ask what all this means. :D clue less -- nm - JenBro Dec 22, 20:27 2
  - That's what makes for perfect LYCs. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 20:31 1
    - heh ... even the ST wikki would be stumped I bet :D -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 03:39
Why, on earth, do I have the song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" stuck in my head? -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:37 9
- :) My dad had that 45 and I used to play it alot -- nm - amoxy Dec 22, 19:42
- how many verses do you know? -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 19:38 7
  - 4 or 5... -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:39 6
    - which begs the question "why?" (and also, even the racist verses?) -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 19:40 5
      - *especially* the racist verses - znufrii Dec 22, 19:42 4
        
        But that song is squeaky clean compared to "My Boomerang won't come back" -- nm - amoxy Dec 22, 20:09
        
        Next time, ask him to him sing "I want to have a beer with Duncan" -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 20:04 1
        
        I will mention that next time I see him. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 20:33

Hey pixie: If a tax lawyer forgets to send a document to the IRS, which results in the IRS charging a late fee to the client, is the - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 22, 19:07 6
- liable to who? -- nm - tRuMaN hasn't met you yet. Dec 22, 19:26 4
  - the client -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:26 3
    - yeah, maybe, depending on their agreement. -- nm - tRuMaN hasn't met you yet. Dec 22, 19:45 2
      - i don't think lawyers can contract their way out of breaching a fiduciary duty -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:53 1
        
        well, i cannot think of anything in circular 230 that - tRuMaN hasn't met you yet. Dec 22, 19:54
- without knowing more of the facts, probably - pixmas Dec 22, 19:21
Friend wants me to ask you: Friend's best friend (female) is now married. For Christmas does my friend give a gift to the couple (say house items) or - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 22, 18:57 34
- friend. -- nm - kelly Dec 22, 20:14
- either is appropriate, depends on how friendly she is with the husband. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:28
- Friend. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:18
- naked pictures -- nm - Beaker Dec 22, 19:01
- that or lingerie -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 18:58
- is your friend male or female? -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 18:58 25
  - My friend is female, her best friend is female too. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 22, 18:58 24
    - Oh, I thought it was a guy giving a gift to a married woman. Either -- nm - Chip Kelly Dec 22, 18:59
    - then she can do either -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 18:59 22
      - although i guess the more proper gift would be for the couple -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 18:59 21
        
        if by 'proper' you mean 'old-fashioned', then yes. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:35 12
        
        or just the more considerate gift when someone is part of a couple -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:39 11
        
        mmm, i disagree with this. i only gift them as a couple (or buy a separate gift for the spouse) when i consider the spouse a friend too - kare Dec 22, 19:49 2
        
        I love the plate of cookies idea... -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:51
        
        as I said in another post, the best friend's job is to give her girly things. No one else will do it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:50
        
        I think it comes down to facts and circumstances. - znufrii Dec 22, 19:40 7
        
        I agree with this. And FWIW, if I'm giving gifts to my married friends, I give it only to hte friend most of the time. - loosilu Dec 22, 19:44 6
        
        totally. and the spouse generally doesn't give a shit anyway. i wouldn't. -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:50 1
        
        frankly, it lets him off the hook a bit. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:51
        
        Perhaps the ideal solution is to get two gifts, one for the couple, and one just for the friend. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 19:46 3
        
        you could do that, but they should get you two gifts in return. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:48 2
        
        oh no you din't! -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:52 1
        
        I'm joking! mostly. :) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:52
        
        no way, friend needs to be treated as if she is still an individual (at least by her BFF) -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:19 7
        
        except she's not single any more. think of them instead of yourself -- nm - pixmas Dec 22, 19:23 6
        
        *she* needs to be treated as an individual. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:35 5
        
        she gave up that right when she got married. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 19:39 4
        
        oh man. you guys don't know Girl Rules. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:40 3
        
        right? good christ man! -- nm - kare Dec 22, 19:52 2
        
        I was joking! -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 22, 19:54
        
        I'm so happy there is someone else here who knows the rules. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:53
- To her friend. -- nm - the liioulu with cookies for someone Dec 22, 18:58
- A gift to the couple -- nm - Chip Kelly Dec 22, 18:57 1
  - agreed, she should give the couple a threesome -- nm - dogbert Dec 22, 19:05
Great final question. -- nm - Jovian Dec 22, 18:55 5
- MATT DAMON!!! -- nm - iNubby 4 Dec 22, 19:02
- I drank what? -- nm - Max Dec 22, 18:58
- Who wants my baby? -- nm - Chip Kelly Dec 22, 18:56 2
  - for the last time, no. -- nm - loosilu Dec 22, 19:39
