    - agreed, but I will take the hospital spokeswoman's word about the patients. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 11:41
    - I'm sure it's incredibly hectic right now -- nm - Remlik Jan 8, 11:40
In what can only be called a bizarre coincidence, Griffin was on Palin's list of 20 Dems to "target." (She has removed her tweet that read - mara Jan 8, 11:31 6

Pixie, you are taking this very personal...Is there something we are missing? -- nm - amoxy Jan 8, 11:23 4
- People are going to be rightfully that this was a potential logical conclusion to all of the violent rhetoric. - David Jan 8, 11:27
- how many gun deaths like this have to happen before people start taking it personally instead of just shrugging their shoulders and saying "oh well" - fredo Jan 8, 11:26 2
  - right now we don't know what kind of gun death this is. who knows if the gun was legally obtained or not? - loosilu Jan 8, 11:39 1

    - taking shots at them for things they haven't done yet isn't going to make you look better. - loosilu Jan 8, 11:24

- CNN has the same news but "unconfirmed" -- nm - stewie Jan 8, 11:11
- holy crap. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 11:11
Decoded episode on DB Cooper. hmmm, this one is interesting. - loosilu Jan 8, 11:00 4
- also, spoiler - peglegpete Jan 8, 11:05 1
  - yeah, that stuck out as well. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 11:09
- I'm confused...why do you keep watching this show when nearly every episode has been completely laughable? - Will Hunting Jan 8, 11:03 1

"Get in the Bowl" -- nm - amoxy Jan 8, 10:10
and welcome to pappazatzigasm day - Danedukenuuk Jan 8, 10:10
Also: Tron Legacy 3D. Very very lovely. I didn't feel the storyline was weak, characters were stellar, and it was actually worth the upcharge. - Qale Jan 8, 09:54 5
- Seriously, I did not notice any 3D in it. - Spawn Jan 8, 10:33 1
  - At this point, I'm going to assume you're in the minority of the population who cannot actually see 3D. -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 12:27
- I found it a bit underwhelming. Not terrible or anything, just sort of obvious. -- nm - Subversive Jan 8, 10:26
- "I felt it added another dimension to the characters" ....... Heheh -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 8, 10:05 1

That winter storm that's looming on the horizon for tomorrow into Tuesday looks absolutely vicious. Possible 7 inch snow and 1/2 inch ice. So... - Qale Jan 8, 09:23 17
- call a co-worker and ask for a ride -- nm - peglegpete Jan 8, 10:15 3
  - That doesn't quite solve the I have to deliver pizzas part. I think the others below are right; if it happens, we're likely closed. -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 10:18 2
    - And all those people who are trapped at home will be outraged that they can't have a pizza delivered :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 8, 10:21 1
      - So true. Especially those already outraged that we have a set delivery area they happen to live outside of. -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 10:24
- Or ask to use the manager's car for delivery - amoxy Jan 8, 10:03 4
  - Amusingly, his car has been broken since just before New Years and he's been getting a ride to work. I work at Ye Old Comedy of Errors Pizzaria. -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 10:06 3
    - Sounds like the Pizza Shop will be shut down that day -- nm - amoxy Jan 8, 10:08

      - Franchises!!! -- nm - Qale Jan 8, 10:12
- "With the roads the way they are, I don't feel safe. I won't be in." - Will Hunting Jan 8, 09:58 3
  - Yeah that sounds about right. You know, my boss has to travel a good distance himself... so he may be kinda stuck too. Truck delivery is Monday - Qale Jan 8, 10:05 2
    - what kind of car do you have? -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 10:08 1
      - A 2005 Ford Fuckas ZX3. I lurve my car. It's getting kind of oldish though nearing 160k miles. I may buy my mom's 2000 same brand that has half that. - Qale Jan 8, 10:12
- public transport. or simply call in and do home office -- nm - marcel Jan 8, 09:27 3
  - None of those would be an option. There is no public transport here and I can't deliver pizzas from home. Hee! I know other places are like whatevs - Qale Jan 8, 09:46 2
    - if the cooks can't get in to make the pizzas, there's nothing to deliver. -- nm - loosilu Jan 8, 10:09 1

- how to lose all credibility... leave off Fincher's Dragon Tattoo -- nm - stewie Jan 8, 09:18 2
  - I'm an idiot, I didn't even realize Fincher was doing this. - Will Hunting Jan 8, 09:21 1
    - yep and Reznor is doing the score -- nm - stewie Jan 8, 09:58
- Another X-Men movie? -- nm - amoxy Jan 8, 09:12
