  - here - J Jan 6, 13:17 7
    - I've heard both rachael and paula say they don't consider themselves chefs, but what's a better term for that? -- nm - b. Jan 6, 13:22 3
      - Cooks? -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:24 2
        
        that sort of diminishes the chefs. -- nm - b. Jan 6, 13:24 1
        
        de-snootyfying edit: not diminishes - they're two different types of cooking, at which people can excel. -- nm - b. Jan 6, 13:25

2 million fish found dead in Maryland? -- (link) - decline Jan 6, 13:02 12
- Of note: when actual weird things started happening that killed all the bees, no one cared this much. -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 13:07 10
  - This is shark attack crap. "Large winter kills of spot fish have occurred at least twice before in the state, in 1976 and 1980, the department said." -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:11
  - I cared and so did Nic Cage. A lot. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 13:08 2

  - I cared, TFox, I cared. -- nm - decline Jan 6, 13:07
  - I cared. -- nm - Luke Skywalker Jan 6, 13:07
- are they English? -- nm - peglegpete Jan 6, 13:04
Issa says when he called Obama corrupt, he meant like a computer's hard disk. Not that he did anything illegal. -- (link) - mara Jan 6, 13:01 18
- He's a politician out of Chicago. Is corruption even illegal there? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 6, 13:10 2
  - So technically... it was a compliment. -- nm - Isaa Jan 6, 13:11
  - Thought it was a prerequisite, personally... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:11
- I'm not sure that's an improvement... - znufrii Jan 6, 13:03

  - You are an asshole. - Isaa Jan 6, 13:04 1
    - I meant that you were the asshole of a flower." -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 13:07
- Honestly, that's how I read it in the first place. Corrupt as in, "not the way it's supposed to be". Not corrupt as in "criminal." -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 13:02 10
  - corrupt as in, "Hey big business, which of these pesky federal regulations can I get rid of for you to reward your political support"? - znufrii Jan 6, 13:05
  - It's a pretty unusual way to use the word in the political arena. If I rant about "corrup Louisiana officials," you think I mean mistaken, and not - mara Jan 6, 13:04 8
    - Yeah, but he even said something about a corrupt floppy disc. - Jim Jan 6, 13:05 7
      - Wait, he thinks Obama is floppy? -- nm - decline Jan 6, 13:06
      - He said that originally? I thought that was part of his next-day explanation. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:05 5
        
        Um...someone linked him this morning. Maybe that was his next day comment where he tried to explain himself. - Jim Jan 6, 13:06 4
        
        It was his lame explanation. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 13:07
        
        yes, that was the second comment. - Reagen Jan 6, 13:07 2
        
        To your IM. Surprise, surprise.... -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:08
        
        In that case...never mind. I just looked up the original comment...yeah, the floppy disc thing...that's a bullshit backtrack. -- nm - Jim Jan 6, 13:08
Now i'm not going to say it's the best comedy on tv, cause it's not, but I will admit that Cougar Town has grown on me. - Fighting Stephen! Jan 6, 13:00 9
- I just started watching it after being urged by the DC STers. It's growing on me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 13:07
- It is good, and it is consistent. It and Modern Family are on top of consistent. -- nm - Spawn Jan 6, 13:03
- Sadly, the more I watch it, the less I like it. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 13:02
- She's wrong - Will Hunting Jan 6, 13:01 5

      - I thought for sure - TFox Jan 6, 13:05 2

        Little eyes? - Spawn Jan 6, 13:06
LIR Human Target was good last night - Ms. Pucci is so pretty! - Epiphany Jan 6, 12:58 26
- Guerrero is easily my favorite. "Why is my full legal name on this envelope?" -- nm - TWuG Jan 6, 13:25
- Ms Pucci is horrible, I hate the character. Naming her after the Simpsons' Poochie was so apt. - Ender Jan 6, 13:21
- *sigh*. This is like the fourth different show that my PVR has just decided not to record. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 13:06
- We're only a half hour in but that episode is amusing to me in that I had confused Leonor Varela and Indira Varma for years. - David Jan 6, 13:00 18
  - one can act and the other can't - Epiphany Jan 6, 13:05
  - the reason I don't mix her up with anyone else is I was such a Rome fanboy -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:04 16
    - This goes way back to Cleopatra and Kama Sutra. -- nm - David Jan 6, 13:07 3
      - yeah, I didn't see Kama Sutra until after Rome -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:09 2

    - which one was in Torchwood? rome girl? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 6, 13:05 11
      - Indira was in both Torchwood and Rome -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 13:13
      - I gave up on Torchwood fairly quickly so I can't say for sure -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:08 9
        
        DTM -- nm - Spawn Jan 6, 13:19 1
        
        not all sci-fi is good sci-fi -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:21
        
        She was in the 1st episode Crash! Serioursly skip all but watch the Torchwood:Children of Earth. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 13:14 6
        
        I really liked all the Torchwood episodes I think. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 13:16 1
        
        Some were jsut ok (1st season) and some were excellent. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 13:18
        
        I've repressed all memories, except Gwen -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:15 2
