some kind of John Lennon special on CNN just now -- nm - Lady JenBro Jan 1, 22:06 7
- Fox news isdoing one as well -- nm - Remlik Jan 1, 22:27
- ah ... title is "losing lennon ... count down to murder" ... they just interviewed one of his record guys that told a story about him being on a boat - Lady JenBro Jan 1, 22:09 5
  - totally weird coincidence, they were planning a bio movie, the actor to play john was not only a dead ringer but could also sing like him, yoko killed - zeitgeist Jan 1, 22:17 4
    - this is going to seem really odd maybe but I find the story about him going through a storm on a sailboat and having that sort of epiphany moment - Lady JenBro Jan 1, 22:35 3
      - i assume he would probably have had a career pretty similar to Paul's if he had lived - new years pixie Jan 1, 22:39 2
        
        I think if he had been around, like Paul the 80's would have seen him going all over the place in terms of style.... - Remlik Jan 1, 22:42 1
        
        this is more what I mean when I say I wonder what would have come next ... in terms of "message" or whatever. -- nm - Lady JenBro Jan 1, 22:51
Twilight Zone: It's funny to watch this episode about the "obsolete" librarian, in a world where there are no more books. - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 21:58 2
- I just watched the Henry Bemis episode - amoxy Jan 1, 22:07
- Books are dead! -- nm - TFox s.i. Jan 1, 22:01
why why why, do the local papers have their yearly wrap up article of their favorite restaurant meals ....just when I'm the brokest -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:57 3
- I found the local food bloggers far superior to the paper critic, and they just put out a book of the top 50 rest. in town, and a bunch of others - peglegpete Jan 1, 22:11 2
  - pS, the top 50 include a Mexican hole in the wall dive, so not everyone is $$$$$$$ -- nm - peglegpete Jan 1, 22:12 1
    - I've always thought the best mex is usually a roach coach - zeitgeist Jan 1, 22:26
ugh...now it's my e-mail that's been hacked... - Fighting Stephen! Jan 1, 21:31 8

    - d/l now. - Fighting Stephen! Jan 1, 22:10
- Do you and Ashlee share a computer? -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 21:34 4
  - For FB, sometimes, but not for her e-mail. -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Jan 1, 21:47 3
    - Very odd that accounts would get hacked on different computers. This implies you're being targeted. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 21:54 2
      - Or that one of you forwarded an infected email to the other. Did you get the one from Ashlee's original hack? -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 1, 22:06 1
        
        Yes. But I didn't click on the link. -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Jan 1, 22:09
I negotiated another car sale! Woohoo. Got my friend a Nissan Rogue. Got it $200 below the lowest price on truecar.com. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 1, 21:27 10
- well, if this whole doctor thing ddon't work out, hell I'll be a client, I *hate* car buying bs and would dfinately get a buyer agent - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:32 3
  - Yeah, I got a pretty good deal but I still know they made money. I love the "we are losing $1,500 on this deal" yeah the freaking right. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 1, 21:38 2
    - offer him a discount if he ever needs his spleen removed -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:43 1
      - Hehe.. yeah, I will give him a special price. If he wants anesthesia, he will need to pay extra. :P -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 1, 21:44
- I still remember the one who accused me of backing out on a commitment. Um, until I sign the sales agreement we don't *have* a commitment :/ - MojaveMeg Jan 1, 21:31 5
  - we need you to intial this proposed offfer, 20 minutes later, "the manager agreed, but he just changed a few numbers" -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:35 4
    - I contacted 3 dealers. One won't budge from his overpriced quote. I found that to be quite interesting. I stopped negotiating with him quickly. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 1, 21:41 3
      - that first guy figured he'd never compete on price, so why waste time? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:45 2
        
        Yeah, actually that is what I figured. However, it is also a dumb strategy. My friend ended up getting an extra feature in the car that we get "at - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 1, 21:49 1
        
        dude, its the financing whre most of the sleezy tricks come out -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 21:55

Resident Evil is the series that has the least sensible story universe continuity, but I've come to expect that and don't care, I just watch anyway. -- nm - Max Jan 1, 20:33 2

    - The key is to inject horizontally (parallel to the back) so that the needle just goes into the skin and subcutaneous fat. - ceregon Jan 1, 20:32
Loosi, did you find it? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 1, 19:01 2

Relating to a discussion earlier today -- (link) - nubby Jan 1, 18:41 4
- I don't like this guy. We're about the same age and he tries to present himself as a youthful hipster. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 18:42 3
  - you're just bitter because you've never been either. - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 19:00 1

    - The ibuprofen knocks it down to about 100. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 18:41 3
      - so, you haven't actually seen anything near 104? because that's serious. no shit. -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 18:42 2
        
        I'm guessing since the ibuprofen "knocks it down..." that they have... -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Jan 1, 18:50 1
        
        point being, 104 is Er worthy. -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 18:51
- What the crap? ( my new phrase for 2011) that sounds like some Jacob's ladder type stuff -- nm - Pippy Jan 1, 18:34
- Ouch. Any other symptoms? -- nm - amoxy Jan 1, 18:33 5
  - Fever, sore throat, and almost constant sleep. May be the flu, although she got the flu shot. - Mop Jan 1, 18:36 4

      - it's probably already too late for tamiflu (needs to be within the first 48) -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 18:39 2
        
        Nothing to do but plenty of fluids, rest, and fever reducer. -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 18:40 1
        
        I['m not kidding, 104 (if accurate) is serious. I almost want to say go to the Er. -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 18:41

Oh, Chris Parnell, if you needed the money surely you could have retained more dignity by performing some tricks. -- (link) - Dano Jan 1, 17:40 [youtube] 2

  - heh. She's the smart one. I just have useless stuff in my head. -- nm - CQ Jan 1, 17:41
- to be fair, there were 2 categories on animals and they both had daily doubles. Easy peasy -- nm - CQ Jan 1, 17:32 1
  - oooh, share the questions? -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 17:32

  - It's $22 here. It's kind of like it's fine but it's nothing special. "really expensive for no good reason," Patryk says. - miss amanda phones Jan 1, 17:31 3
    - The label is gorgeous. If it's really sweet I probably wouldn't like it. I wish you had said it was like a dry champagne. -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 17:35
    - We're basically drinking it really fast to get to the next beverage. I give it a thumbs down. -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 1, 17:34 1
      - what's next? -- nm - new year's resoloosi Jan 1, 17:36
