boston.com Love Letters: He Got Naked w/Others... - Diva Jan 7, 07:33 21
- "It's still eating away at me that he was naked with girls I don't know in a hot tub." - Spawn Jan 7, 08:02 3
  - Possibly. Though I'm having trouble thinking of people that wouldn't make it worse or creepier. - TWuG Jan 7, 08:04
  - she thinks it might be - but I can tell from the letter - she would not be okay with that either - Epiphany Jan 7, 08:04
  - "Let's invite them over next weekend." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 08:03
- if she really trusts him (and I see no reason why she shouldn't) she has to let. it. go. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 08:00
- she needs to go to a gym, find 3 muscle bound droid ridden guys, find a hottub, get nekkid - tRuMaN Jan 7, 07:58 1
  - "Seriously, honey, they weren't the droids I was looking for, I have no idea how we ended up in the hottub together." -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 08:00
- she likely feels " left out" and maybe she and the Doorman need to meet up at the roof top hot tub. - Epiphany Jan 7, 07:52 1
  - This -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 07:53

- she's just jealous she missed out on a possible opportunity to go back in time to her glory days -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 7, 07:38
- [deleted]
- He was fairly honest about it. Get over it, Jealous Tubthumper. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 07:37 2
  - Sure, but at the same time, he needs to recognize that she ain't cool with that shit and not do it again. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 07:37 1
    - Oh, sure. She needs to get over it - but it better not happen again. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 07:45
- she needs to chill. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:36
hmm. it maybe snowing during the cheifs/ravens game. - tRuMaN Jan 7, 07:27
Am I the only person on the board that owns both Lupe Fiasco albums? - TFox Jan 7, 07:22 4
- I was a fan until I saw him live. He was such a douche to the fans I won't support him. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 07:24 2
  - As in, he has the same "I am the greatest ever and eff y'all if you don't get it" attitude that Talib Kwali has most of the time? - TFox Jan 7, 07:32 1
    - He showed up really late to start. - MDH Jan 7, 07:35
- I've got a couple of the songs, I just don't buy whole albums anymore -- nm - decline Jan 7, 07:23
Listening again, I was wrong. ALL city data is more-or-less correlated to population. -- nm - nubby Jan 7, 07:20

You're taking your kids to McDonald's. What do you expect? -- (link) - znufrii Jan 7, 07:17 68
- I used to be offended that they would give Logan the 3 and over toy, even though he was under 3. - Spawn Jan 7, 07:59 5
  - what if they gave him the girl toy, over and over? just curious. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:00 4
    - No problem. SOmetimes he wants the girl toy (those little pets things), and other times the boy toy. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:03 1
      - so he gets what he asks for. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:04
    - *stockpiles the toys and uses them on the playground to make friends* Silly woman, I gots this. -- nm - Logan Jan 7, 08:00 1
      - oh yeah, a 3 year old will accept that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:02
- not much and less and less from experience -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 7, 07:51
- I actually weep for the number of typed characters we are wasting on this nonsense -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 07:48
- Sorry, I'll side with her. She wasn't bitchy about it. As a customer she asked for something specific to be done that doesn't even rise - TWuG Jan 7, 07:35 47
  - Actually, in several cases, it could make the job harder. A lot of McD's have boxes of toys...boys and girls. - Jim Jan 7, 07:37 45
    - I think the harm is that it's causing employees to disregard customer requests. "see a girl, pull out girl toy" - TWuG Jan 7, 07:44 2
      - that sounds more like a staff issue than an issue with the toys. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:45 1
        
        It *is* a staff issue. She wasn't complaining about the toys, but how the staff distributes them. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 07:46
    - [deleted] 41
      - I don't know dude...when I used to go through the drive through, they'd ask "Boy or girl toy" and I'd tell them 2 boy toys. - Jim Jan 7, 07:56 5
        
        well, since that happened to you, clearly she's lying. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:00 1
        
        Yep. That's what I said. I SO enjoy these little conversations with you. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:01
        
        Apparently this drive through has employees who do look and then override the customer's stated desire. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 07:59 2
        
        So bitch to high heaven about it right there at the drive thru window. - Jim Jan 7, 08:02 1
        
        right, when they handed me the girl toy, i'd just say 'no, sorry, i asked for three bakugans.' they aren't going to waste time arguing with you. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 08:04
      - OK, but that means she's just like all of us, in that a dumbass McD's worker effed up our order. - TFox Jan 7, 07:43 27
        
        [deleted] 25
        
        Sure...but they eff up my kid's ketchup and pickles only request at least 60% of the time...why is this different? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 07:57 7
        
        I think the difference is, they make a choice taht overrides what the parent asked for. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:58 2
        
        I don't think that's the case. I think it's the fact that they pay NO attention to anything you say. - Jim Jan 7, 08:05 1
        
        That's actually a good point. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:07
        
        Condimentists! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:58
        
        if ketchup had a gender, people could freak the fuck out! -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 07:57 2
        
        mustard - chick. ketchup dude. relish - bi -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 08:00
        
        L3! -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 07:58
        
        OK sure, but I can't get that upset if a McD's cashier in a busy line defaults to giving little girls Hello Kitty toys. - TFox Jan 7, 07:49 7
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        if we can't mock the dumb on ST, what do we have left? - TFox Jan 7, 07:55 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Sometimes a cashier in a busy line gives me real Coke instead of Diet. That pisses me off. I don't drink real coke, and I asked for diet. - loosilu Jan 7, 07:50 3
        
        Wait a minute...they're sexist and soda-ist? - Jim Jan 7, 07:58
        
        to the Consumerist! -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 07:51 1
        
        I guess she's asking whether it's a policy. that's legit. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:53
        
        which begs the question of why she keeps going back if they keep screwing it up... -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 07:48 8
        
        2 times a month as a treat while travelling. And if it's a choice between McD's, BK and Wendy's, I choose McD's. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 07:51
        
        probably because the kids like the toys. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:49
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        Yeah...but there's a McDs every couple blocks. Stop going to that one. We have a Jack in the Box down the street that hasn't gotten an order right - Jim Jan 7, 07:59 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        exactly. you know what you're getting yourself into. - znufrii Jan 7, 07:51
        
        It's yummy! - Will Hunting Jan 7, 07:49 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        yeah, I won't even pull away from the window until I check. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:44
      - *nods* - Will Hunting Jan 7, 07:42 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        i hate when i ask for "no tomatoes" and they give me tomatoes, but i can deal with the frustration all by myself. -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 07:46 4
        
        If my order is constantly wrong like that I start shopping elsewhere. I hear there's a burger joint that'll fix it my way. - TWuG Jan 7, 07:49
        
        Becuase you have an outlet as well. You take off the tomatoes. How do you give your child what they want when you don't have it? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 7, 07:48 2
        
        walk... back... to the counter? or check the bag? -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 07:49 1
        
        well, she doesn't say how she fixed it. But it does seem clear that it keeps happening and it pisses her off. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:52
  - that's not how it was framed, though. it was framed as "why do the toys have to be sexist"? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:37
- I really LOVE the direction our society is going in. It's awesome. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:27
- oh my god. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:22
- sweet Jesus get a life -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 07:20 8
  - I knew she was nuts when she interjected with "(I get them apple slices, 2% milk, and all white meat chicken nuggets" no one cares what you order - MDH Jan 7, 07:22 5
    - that was preemptive. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:27
    - That's to quell the instant reaction of "you're a moron for taking your kids there" posts. And to assuage the guilt. - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 07:24 3
      - the comments are pretty funny anyway. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:27
      - Haha. You know those kids aren't getting any sauce on the nuggets. -- nm - MDH Jan 7, 07:25 1
        
        not even BBQ? -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 07:34
  - "they called me ma'am; I'd much prefer human!" -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 07:22 1
    - I'm sorry, the best I can do is huma'am. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 07:23
- oh, shut *up*, overthinking parent. -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 07:18
Google tactic question: How many of you find wiki entries by googling "[your search term] wiki"? based on google's autocomplete, seems to be common. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:16 12
- i usually just search. Wiki is normally first or second, but then I get all the other hits as well -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 07:22 2
  - this -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 07:33
  - this. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 07:23
- I just type "wp [search term]" into the Firefox address bar and it takes me right there. -- nm - Ender Jan 7, 07:22 2
  - my tag is "wiki" instead of "wp," but otherwise, this. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 07:30 1
    - I created a button on my toolbar that picks up hilighted content and does a wikipedia search of it - decline Jan 7, 07:34
- i do it all the time (but i generally put the wiki first). -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 07:19
- I search from the wikipedia homepage directly. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 07:18 2
  - I do it in google because there are wikis other than wikipedia for some topics. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:21 1
    - fair enough, I'm usually not looking for that specialized a level of information. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 07:32
- wikipedia [search term] -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 07:17 1
  - you can save those five letters. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 07:22

    - The Chiefs are tough at home and they've been proving me wrong all season.. - Jim Jan 7, 07:38
- Saints, Ravens, GB and Colts -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 07:17
