        book? not comic? something something about one of his stories from 20th Century Ghosts -- nm - Epiphany Dec 23, 10:33 1
        
        it's a comic one shot. He's doing a series of it in 2011. I honestly don't know where it comes from -- nm - Remlik Dec 23, 10:40
- oooh, shiny... -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:21
- If you get ahold of Pusher Man, ask him to go over and get a bottle of Crown Royal for me. - Spawn Dec 23, 10:21 7

    - I prefer bourbon. - znufrii Dec 23, 10:31 4
      - I don't believe I've ever had Rye. I may have to try it! -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 10:33 2
        
        Canadian whiskeys (such as Crown Royal) are mostly rye (as opposed to bourbons which are mostly corn) -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:41 1
        
        Old Overholt is a really good American rye. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:41

MHers: Did you get your Ronza Voucher when you caught the boss? - TWuG Dec 23, 10:17 21
- Not yet. What kind of trap are you using? Am I reading the difficulty correctly in that a hydro base is most effective? -- nm - Stephen Dec 23, 10:30 2
  - For Squeaker? All types (except parental) have equal effectiveness. You want power and luck and - TWuG Dec 23, 10:34 1
    - OHHHHHH I Completely forgot about my frozen cheese - THANKS!!! -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 10:35
- is the Toboggan Hydro trap a good one? I don't have a hydro one yet, thanks -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 10:24 7
  - Here's how it compares to others - TWuG Dec 23, 10:33 4
    - (after seeing that, I'm a little letdown by the Double Diamond stats, honestly.) - TFox Dec 23, 10:35 3
      - 3500 power, 0 power bonus, 18 luck, 5% attraction, insanely fresh -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 10:40 2
        
        yeah, that sounds like kind of a wash with ASG. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 10:41 1
        
        These event traps are usually not meant to be the most powerful (though some are) but to have the best luck modifier. - TWuG Dec 23, 10:43
  - it has UBER high LUCK - not sure what the trap upgrade will do for it's power, etc. - but the luck is high -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 10:31
  - yes, its awesomely better than the intro hydro traps. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 10:26

        *points and laughs* He doesn't know how to use the shells -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 10:27 1
        
        Oh, I can use them I just don't need any more. - TWuG Dec 23, 10:37
    - you don't think? - TFox Dec 23, 10:21 2
      - She usually has 2 traps and assorted unusual items (IIRC) and, darn it, I want everything she can sell me. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 10:23
      - just over 2M here -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 10:22
I love Radiohead almost as much as life itself, but even I'm a little surprised at how much mainstream success they've had. - Reagen Dec 23, 10:14 5
- They're no Train. - David Dec 23, 10:18 4
  - But both are superior to How To Train Your Dragon. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 10:20 2
    - Even Meet Virginia isn't on that level of greatness. - David Dec 23, 10:22 1
      - The nap thing is the high point of the movie. - Spawn Dec 23, 10:23

Started watching Raising Hope last night. Damn that show is dark - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 10:14 5
- it's gets lighter -- nm - Epiphany Dec 23, 10:28 4
  - We had a couple bad DVR recordings but the little bit I saw of Maw Maw breastfeeding the kid nearly killed me -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 10:29 3
    - well Maw Maw never gets any lighter - buwhaaa - she is a real pistol -- nm - Epiphany Dec 23, 10:30 2
      - The dad was in that Terminator show. Now I keep seeing him as a death robot -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 10:32 1
        
        better that then me picturing him as the rapist from Last House on the Left - Epiphany Dec 23, 10:34
MUSTACHIO THE CHARMER! -- nm - pixmas Dec 23, 10:13 2

- The link of what loot you need is here - TWuG Dec 23, 10:14
so... Pryor has to go pro now right? That's the part that doesn't make a lot of sense for the NCAA cartel -- nm - stewie Dec 23, 10:12 8
- Yes. If he'd been a sophomore like I was thinking, I expected him to go to the CFL then supplemental draft. - David Dec 23, 10:14
- so does newton basically. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 10:13
- Unless he wants to stay and miss 40% of his senior season, he's gotta. I can't fathom how this penalty works at all. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:13 5
  - The only way it makes sense (other than NCAA wanting their coin) - TWuG Dec 23, 10:16 4
    - NCAA says so? - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:29 2
      - And Pryor will meet no punishment whatsoever when he goes pro. (nm) - musubi Dec 23, 10:31 1
        
        I'm with you, I hate the NCAA more and more every day. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:32
    - Punishing a team for the mistakes of a few players has never stopped the NCAA before. (nm) - musubi Dec 23, 10:25
i think i could do two hours standing on my head - pixmas Dec 23, 10:12 5
- I used to use the down time thinking of cool things to do when I finally saw him. -- nm - Diva Dec 23, 10:31 2
  - I used to use the down time thinking of cool things to do to him when I finally saw him. -- nm - what znufrii read Dec 23, 10:32 1
    - this too. -- nm - Diva Dec 23, 10:33
- I know I couldn't - Epiphany Dec 23, 10:29
- I dunno ... when you're really REALLLLLY head over heels ... 2 minutes is too long! - JenBro Dec 23, 10:24
out of curiosity, for the LDR couples: how long was the long-distance component? and was there a light at the end of the tunnel or not? - TFox Dec 23, 10:11 18
- Just about a year of being ~2500 miles apart. (nm) - musubi Dec 23, 10:28 2
  - Oh yeah, and like Diva said, it didn't really occur to me that it wasn't worth it. - musubi Dec 23, 10:30 1
    - It's this. (18 months, 10,000 miles) -- nm - Roger More Dec 23, 10:41
- with my exwife, we had an ldr with 3.5hour (drive) for a year and a half. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 10:17
- A year and a half or so. The light at the end of the tunnel was discussed then approached as the relationship grew. - Diva Dec 23, 10:16
- As I said, 90 minutes. And after our history, the odds did not seem like we would work it out. - Spawn Dec 23, 10:15 5
  - i meant the other long. how long y'all was separated by the distance. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 10:16 4
    - Not quite a year, I think. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 10:17 3
      - And the idea of me moving away was unheard of (grew up/own a business here). - Spawn Dec 23, 10:19 2
        
        you moved away for Amy? (sigh) ... that's so romantic ... -- nm - JenBro Dec 23, 10:41
        
        smartest thing you ever did, dummy -- nm - pixmas Dec 23, 10:21
- 4 months total, 2 hours away, 2.5 weeks of it left to endure. -- nm - znufrii Dec 23, 10:14
- Like 8 hours. There wouldn't have been a light at the end if she hadn't found a job here. - David Dec 23, 10:13 3
  - Parole officer jurisdiction? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:13
  - I don't mean in drive time. I mean in months/years. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 10:13 1
    - That's not particularly easy to answer in our case. I guess six months would be about right. - David Dec 23, 10:17
- 13 months....we got serious about solving our LDR about 9 months in. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:12 1
  - And then there's been the past 6months of business travel. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:29
You know what's a motherf*cker? - znufrii Dec 23, 10:09 7

  - Was she on Prodigy or Compuserve? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 23, 10:13
- Yes. Yes I do. -- nm - Oedipus Dec 23, 10:11
- i got dumped via a post-it-note that was suck under a windshield wiper. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 10:10 2
  - These are still better than someone just... disappearing. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 10:11 1
    - *ding* at least he knows -- nm - pixmas Dec 23, 10:12
