- Stone Henge by Spinal Tap -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 11:16
Ender, why wouldn't you count gun suicides? (nm) - musubi Jan 13, 11:08 46
- Just because it's self-inflicted and thus consenual. - Ender Jan 13, 11:21 18
  - Ok, I guess I understand that, though I don't think it's quite an apt comparison. - musubi Jan 13, 11:26 9
    - Sure there is, target practice, competitive shooting, etc. -- nm - Stephen Jan 13, 11:33 8
      - so target practice and competitive shooting -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 11:37 5

        That guy lived! -- nm - David Jan 13, 11:49
        
        And the former is really practice for the latter. - musubi Jan 13, 11:39 2
        
        Just because you don't understand it as such doesn't mean that it's not a form of entertainment to some. - Stephen Jan 13, 11:44 1
        
        I understand it fine, thanks. - musubi Jan 13, 11:48
      - That's not a "practical use", that's a "I can't shoot people or animals, so I'll shoot things" use. -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 11:36
      - Or should it have been, sure there are? -- nm - Stephen Jan 13, 11:34
  - So if a mental illness causes Jared to kill me, it should be counted; but if a mental illness causes him to kill himself, it shouldn't be. -- nm - mara Jan 13, 11:23 6
    - Depends what kind of discussion you're having... -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:27 5
      - ... A discussion about the number of gun deaths. -- nm - mara Jan 13, 11:28 4
        
        You've lost me, I'm not sure how the "mental illness" part factors in here. -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:31 3
        
        If you have a mental illness and you kill yourself, is it consensual? -- nm - Roger More Jan 13, 11:33 2
        
        I suppose it would depend how many of your multiple personalities are in agreement. - Ender Jan 13, 11:44 1
        
        The gray area is smaller than that. Not many people argue that insane people are not responsible for their decisions. - Roger More Jan 13, 11:56
  - (Bah, one of those percent signs should have been an "mph", I'll let you guess which one.) -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:22

    - That's where Courtney Love enters the picture... -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:23
    - They could pull the trigger. They just couldn't shoot themselves. The lifelong frustrations of being a gun. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 11:19
    - i'd like to pull musubi's trigger, if you know what i'm sayin -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 11:16
- if someone wants to kill themselves there are lots of options. -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 11:11 19
  - Yes, true. Very few as quick or as sure as a bullet to the head, though. -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 11:13
  - I think a gun in the home makes it a lot easier to act on that impulse. -- nm - mara Jan 13, 11:13 17
    - You could make the same argument for rope control. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Jan 13, 11:16 16
      - ice picks! -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 11:18
      - if there weren't about nine million other non-lethal utilitarian uses for rope -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 11:17 12
        
        Oh come on, guns can be used for lots of things... scaring away pigeons... opening beer bottles... drilling 9mm holes in walls... -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:35 5
        
        Killing zombies may be a gray area. Would it be "lethal" to shoot an "undead" thing? -- nm - Ender Jan 13, 11:41
        
        physics demonstrations, magic acts, props in art pieces, an ironic vase for a single rose... -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 11:38 1

        This is what bothers me about the "it's just a tool" arguement. (nm) - musubi Jan 13, 11:22 3
        
        Pixie has a tool for you, if you know what he's saying... -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 11:27 2
        
        Watchmakers laugh at how small his tool it. -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 11:32 1
        
        musubi is *foldy* - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 11:38

LIR Mop and Twug: the Lego figs at Target are not with the toys from what I was told. They are in the seasonal section. -- nm - sycor Jan 13, 11:08 2
- That's where they had them for Halloween. -- nm - TWuG Jan 13, 11:10 1
  - Ditto. Shoppers should also look wherever collector's cards (CCG, baseball cards, etc.) are kept. -- nm - Mop (216 lbs) Jan 13, 11:15

TV ratings for all bowl games. Pretty bad across the board, with few exceptions. Note to NCAA: nobody cares about post-January 1 games. -- (link) - Don Homer Jan 13, 11:07 1
- another really bad thing is I spent ten minutes or less on my Bowl Pickem and finished in the 98th percentile of all Yahoo competitors -- nm - crash davis Jan 13, 11:11
The best thing about Star Wars Episode I was Weird Al summarizing it in 6 minutes to the tune of American Pie -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 11:07 9
- The very best part? He recorded and released the song before the movie came out. He hadn't seen it and had no input (other than approval) from - TWuG Jan 13, 11:12 2
  - wow, I never knew this. very cool -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 11:15 1

    - next up: when The Rock will become the next big action hero -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 13, 11:39
  - Not a bad idea. Have things actually look bleak at the end of Vader's chapter, and then A New Hope is something we care about. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 13, 11:23 1
