"That means the Cardinal lose five starters on defense and seven on offense" -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 09:01 1
- so other than Luck, 3 returners.... -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 09:01
fwiw: my McD's drive through says either "truck toy" or "doll toy" on the drive through screen, not girl or boy - crash davis Jan 7, 08:50 18
- "adult happy meals"? -- nm - Mop (215 lbs) Jan 7, 08:59 3
  - they come with sex toys. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 09:05
  - I think they're officially listed there as Big Kids Meals -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 09:01
  - yes -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 09:00
- [deleted] 6
  - There is some website out there that lists them all from the beginning for collectors. -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 09:02 3
    - by collectors you mean hoarders -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 7, 09:04 2
      - actually, by collectors I mean collectors -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 09:05
      - heh, if you watch Hoarders more, there is a difference. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 09:05
  - I don't think they started differentiating "boys" and "girls" meals until the 2000's. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 09:01 1
    - I don't know when it was, but they started having dual toys. Hot Wheels and Barbie, etc. - Jim Jan 7, 09:04
- Dude. Always specify Batman. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:52 6
  - so the dude can rub his junk in your quarter pounder -- nm - y kant pixie read Jan 7, 08:56
  - I should have, because even though I love her, she ain't getting my Batman in exchange for a Hello Kitty -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 08:54 4
    - I stocked up on the Batman toys (both Lego and Brave and the Bold) and have been recently giving them to The Bub. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:57 3
      - That is cool. Trish fell in love with the little Madame Alexander Wizard of Oz series a few years ago. - crash davis Jan 7, 09:01 2
        
        I get a $1 Coke for my daily drive, so I ask what toy they are on. - Spawn Jan 7, 09:02 1
        
        I hate it when you have everything in a collection except the really cool one. -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 09:04
I must have a really slimming outfit on today (black cords, light olive green knit 3 button pull over shirt). Some people - HdnAgnda Jan 7, 08:38 8
- What's the difference between pull over and polo? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 08:42 7
  - I don't know. I just said pull over because this is more sweater-like. Not polo-like to me. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 7, 08:43
  - polo has a collar. Pullover may or may not have a collar. - loosilu Jan 7, 08:43 5
    - Ah. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 08:43 4
      - if it has buttons at the top, but no collar, it is a henley. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:44 3
        
        This has a collar. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 7, 08:47 2
        
        (gotta have a collar at the workjoint) -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 7, 08:48 1

Half court buzzer beater? Piece of Cake -- (link) - amoxy Jan 7, 08:33

- How old is Pinch now? -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 08:33 1
  - little over 7 months -- nm - CQ Jan 7, 08:36
- [deleted] 6

  - That kid is like in his 20s now. - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:34 3
    - yep, he's in college. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:42 2
      - ugh...exactly where I was when that album came out. - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:44 1
        
        You and Deevs should reinact that scene when you rent your hot tub. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:53
  - Dollar bill? No. Coors Light? Yes -- nm - prayformojo Jan 7, 08:34
I can't wait until it's revealed somehow on the next board that Complaining Blog McDonalds Lady - prayformojo Jan 7, 08:29 1
- or that she's jessamyn. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 08:29
Apparently lions and penguins live on the same continent -- (link) - Beaker Jan 7, 08:29 2

- pssst ... Africa. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:29
Bery: Any reason the subject box could not be expanded to show all of what is typed? Either wider, or two or three lines? Or both? -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:26 7 1
- Sorry, you got the girl subject line -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 08:37
- No! - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 08:36 4
  - I did? - znufrii Jan 7, 08:56 2
    - a second temporary handle box ... or moving the handle below the user info so it's closer to the subject ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 09:04
    - Avatars, silly. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:57
  - Awesome. As someone that does not "type" I watch my fingers a lot so I don't see the words I type. If I could look up and see, I would correct typos. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:52
- this is an excellent suggestion - thanks for making it -- nm - JenBro Jan 7, 08:34
mmmm - Co-Worker B-Day - German Chocolate Cake - best served before lunch? absolutely! -- nm - JenBro Jan 7, 08:24
My kids don't like McDonalds anymore and I only go there for my every 6month craving for a Big Mac -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 08:22
Meredith's LL response to: He Got Naked w/Others... - Diva Jan 7, 08:21 16
- Meredith is a dirty girl -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 08:31
- nice -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 08:23
- wait...there are places in Boston where you can rent a hot tub by the hour? -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:22 13
  - probably in Cambridge. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 08:23 12
    - Why didn't I know about this when I lived there? - znufrii Jan 7, 08:24 11
      - Because you did not frequent prostitutes? -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:31
      - I just googled - one of the hotels around the corner does this. And it's a nice one. Intriguing. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 08:26 9
        
        I'M STILL TAKING MY TALENTS TO SOUTH BEACH! -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:26 8
        
        No need to yell, Sweet. The hot tub rental is at the Intercontinental on Atlantic. I'm looking to see if the one in Miami does this too. - Diva Jan 7, 08:28 7
        
        The Intercontinental? That's a surprise. - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:33 6
        
        Just so long as it isn't the Incontinental. :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 08:43
        
        nmbmel - Diva Jan 7, 08:34 2
        
        get your dollars ready. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:44 1

        *likes this* -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 08:35

is The Ready Set's song "Love Like Woe" popular on the radio? it's catchy -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 7, 08:20
[deleted] 3
- He statys at Stanford. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:20 2
  - I think so too...but Elway still wants to interview him. *shrugs* - Jim Jan 7, 08:21 1
    - Luck knows. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:21
I do feel bad for her kids in one way ... they go to McD's twice a month and aren't even allowed to get fries? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:18 5
- I agree, that defeats the purpose. If you're going to go to McD's, don't lie to yourself about what you're doing -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 7, 08:21
- Now THAT part, I think she's lying about. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:19 3
  - what kid is going to put up with that? the fries are more important than the toy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:20 2
    - The Bub gets apple dippers and I give him some of my fries. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:21 1
      - Best of both worlds right there. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:31
I think you misunderstand the concept of substitutions. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 7, 08:13 6
- L3. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 09:04
- Hee! -- nm - nubby Jan 7, 08:48
- " Air is not a substitution!" -- nm - Epiphany Jan 7, 08:17
- Your kid either has a penis, or not. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:16 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I'm confused as to exactly what this is supposed to imply... -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:40
It's no coincidence that the HVAC in the building kicks in and I start sneezing shortly after about 75% of the time, right? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:10 7
- no. have you talked to the facilities people? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:11 6
  - They smile, send the maintenance/janitorial guys up into the ducts who make a lot of noise and then climb down and glare at me specifically while... - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:12 5
    - heh. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:12 4
      - If I get beat with a tire iron in the parking lot one late night you guys know who to start questioning. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:13 3
        
        heck, if I were them, I'd just turn on the HVAC. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:14 2
        
        I'm going to have to get one of those TV Lawyers. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:15 1
        
        I hear Charlie Crist has set out his shingle. -- nm - Diva Jan 7, 08:23
Speaking of Happy Meals, you all saw Aasif Monvi's report on the San Francisco ban on toys in Happy Meals this week, right? -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 7, 08:09 2
- I did. I thought he skewered that city councilman very handily. -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 08:57 1
  - His look into the camera when he's speechless is *priceless* -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 09:02
for Jim ... replied to you on b2. I think you make a good point. McD's just doesn't care. I do get mad about that sometimes. - loosilu Jan 7, 08:09 1
- It's real simple and was summed up best by Leo Getz. "They fuck you at the drive thru, ok? They fuck you at the drive thru." -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:15
[deleted] 9
- very nice -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 08:45
- This reminds me of something you'd hear about from a Disney cast member - Strongbad Jan 7, 08:37
- [deleted]
- ahhhh. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 08:21
- nice. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:21
- Wow, that is an incredible story - amoxy Jan 7, 08:20 2
  - Me too. (spoils) - Jim Jan 7, 08:30 1
    - (spoiler) - JaxSean Jan 7, 08:45
- great story. -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 08:19
Has issue with service. Takes issue to employee at store with no satisfaction. Takes issue to store management with no satisfaction. - TWuG Jan 7, 08:08 15
- It is a fast food restaurant. Not a think tank. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:17
- So she went through all those steps? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:11 10
  - You're assuming she didn't. She at least went to the corporate rep on Twitter if not to Corporate - TWuG Jan 7, 08:16 9
    - a lot of other assumptions as well: We don't know if it's one McDonalds or many. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:17 8
      - Didn'Wt she say something about when traveling? - Spawn Jan 7, 08:20 2
        
        when I am traveling, I go from one place to a different place, with places in between. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:21 1
        
        We always got to the same one, but if she stops while on road trips, it would probably different locations. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:25
      - This. If it's the same McDonald's...then she's an idiot. It's not like McD's are hard to find. - Jim Jan 7, 08:20 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Honestly, I'd feel different. Good for you...they keep screwing you, so you don't go there anymore. Well done and stuff. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:32
      - It could be many but all through the same franchisee, which means consistent practices across stores. - TWuG Jan 7, 08:20 1
        
        right, my point being, we don't know, but some people here are assuming. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:21
- you're forgetting *hyperinflates the issue to a broad cultural critique instead of a simple sh!tty customer service issue in the process* -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:10 2
  - [deleted]
  - I don't think she did, honestly. I think the reaction is what's overblown. (and fully admit to participating) -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:11
Here's a challenge: can you find in your workplace a single-hole punch? - prayformojo Jan 7, 08:07 15
- I have one here on my desk at home, but haven't been able to find my 3-hole for months :/ - MojaveMeg Jan 7, 08:57
- I doubt it. I have one at home, but no where around here, I don't think. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 08:15 1
  - When I was a kid I used to see how long it took one to eat a full size piece of paper. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:19
- For what? Paper? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 7, 08:14
- in my desk drawer....I "acquired" it when someone left -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 08:12
- I have one. - Spawn Jan 7, 08:12
- No. just use the corner of a three hole. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:10 2
  - doesn't work in this case -- nm - prayformojo Jan 7, 08:11 1
    - what are you punching? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:12
- i bet there isn't one in the whole place. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 08:08 3
  - As coworker Wayne pointed out, about the only person that would be likely to have one these days is - prayformojo Jan 7, 08:10 2
    - do they even still punch tickets? -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 08:10 1
      - yes -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:26
- Is that anything like a slotted spoon? -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 08:08
- never seen one here. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 08:07
More importantly, WTF is a Bakugan? - znufrii Jan 7, 08:06 7
- Bakugan is essentially Pokemon but with cool little toys to represent the characters instead of just cards. - Jim Jan 7, 08:14 3
  - and a little graphic novel series as well -- nm - Remlik Jan 7, 08:18 1
    - nmbR - Spawn Jan 7, 08:29
  - In other words, sorta cool as opposed to the lameness of Pokemon. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 08:18
- Hard on the feet at night. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 08:08
- Battle Brawlers! -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 08:07
- it sounds like something Qale does to club kids. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 7, 08:07
I keep reading your McD discussion but it seems to be more about Pippy's visit to Big Al's Escort Emporium - oblique Jan 7, 08:06
Good morning -- nm - con_carne Jan 7, 08:04
