So I think I love this table. It's an old 1950s enamel top. It's 24 x 36 inches. Off white top, some mint green accents. -- (link) - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:30 4
- totally, and good price. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:41
- Good prices all around. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:32
- Crap lighting, I know. And bad angle. Sorry. But I forgot to note it has a cute little drawer like many of these tables do. -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:31 1
  - And it might be older than 50's. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:33
here we go, baby -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:28
For the LEGO fans: Ohio Stadium in LEGO. This is not a small model. -- (link) - TWuG Jan 15, 13:24 4
- wow. -- nm - sycor Jan 15, 13:24 3
  - My wife would kill me if I had that much LEGO. -- nm - TWuG Jan 15, 13:26 2
    - you might could get away with it if you kept it in the basement like he does -- nm - sycor Jan 15, 13:29 1
      - Nope. Not enough room. And I don't have the talent to be able to demand that much room. - TWuG Jan 15, 13:31
Armed gangs loyal to Tunisia's ousted president began random shooting sprees on the streets -- (link) - mara Jan 15, 13:22 21
- this is really bad for those neighborhoods where the cits are maning barracades with bats and clubs -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 14:01
- Anybody hear from her? Hopefully she's evacuating? -- nm - pmb Jan 15, 13:41
- Have we deployed troops yet? My friend who's in south Korea says tensions have eased some and his people are bored. - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:40 1
  - why would we? it's a civil war. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:41
- the british tourists on the BBC news were gettin da fuck outta there, and didn't look particularly at ease even in the airport -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:23 1
  - have you seen the pictures? it's scary. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:26
- This is the tipping point that gets me to leave, if I haven't already. -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 13:23 14
  - personally I would have left already. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:25 13
    - note the conditional "If I haven't already" - ty97 Jan 15, 13:26 12
      - yep, I did notice. at this point it's past time to go. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:27 11
        
        if she hasn't Hotkiss needs to get to Airport or the Embassy -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 13:29 10
        
        Embassy was closed for the Holiday. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:31 9
        
        The embassy was *not* closed for the holiday. Embassies don't close for holidays when the host country is in the midst of a coup. - TWuG Jan 15, 13:35 1
        
        they have been there 24/7, more than likely. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:36
        
        no it wasn't. that's not the issue. The issue is they told her to stay put. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:32 6
        
        I thought she said it was. But yes on the stay put. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:34 5
        
        She said the *website* said they were. I'd imaging the staff has more pressing issues than keeping the website up to date. -- nm - TWuG Jan 15, 13:36 1
        
        And if you look at their website, it's just a static holiday calendar. Tehre is no "announcement" that they will be closed. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 15, 13:40
        
        gawker saw a webpage saying it was closed for the holiday. The government of TUnisia just fell. That embassy is not closed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 15, 13:35 2
        
        So I didn't just pull that out of thin air. That's what I saw on yesterday's backboards. I didn't see the stuff about it being open. Okay? -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:37 1
        
        The last thing I saw relating to that was her trying to figure out how to get in touch with a friend of a friend marine who worked there. -- nm - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:39
Right, so, I'm having myself painted. How much is this supposed to cost for a 2/2 condo? - ty97 Jan 15, 13:21 6
- It was $1500, I think, for the outisde of the house. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:36
- Depends if you're just having a a three-piece suit painted on, or just a speedo -- nm - Roger More Jan 15, 13:24 1
  - ty would go for a full Demi if you know what I mean -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 14:00
- More than you think, especially if you are doing accent walls and trim. -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:24
- You would look good in a fuchsia. -- nm - Spawn Jan 15, 13:23
- what color are you going to be now? -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:22
Cause STIS, are there any tablet PCs that can run iTunes? - Stephen Jan 15, 13:17 3
- Specifically songs/tv shows that are iTunes DRM'ed? - psilotum Jan 15, 13:20 2
  - My only hesitancy with getting an iPad is the lack of Flash compatibility. - Stephen Jan 15, 13:36 1
    - You don't have to transfer everything. - psilotum Jan 15, 14:14
Be creative! I am leaving in one hour for a party - i am Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I sort of forgot to pre-plan getting a wooden stake. - Andie Jan 15, 13:05 21
- Anything in the least bit pointy. And if anyone says anything say Buffy is in an experimental mood. - the liioulu With capital w Jan 15, 13:29
- Just take one of their fence palings when you arrive -- nm - Roger More Jan 15, 13:21
- if you can remove the shovel part off the shovel use the long handle -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 13:18 1
  - Can you fashion some sort of rudimentary lathe? -- nm - Guy Jan 15, 13:19
- garden store has stakes, campaign signs, snap a branch off a tree, a stave from a packing crate -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 13:11 2
  - right, i am leaving in 45 minutes -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 13:15 1
    - broom stick? oooh, break a wooden clothes hanger, that'll give you a short round stick just about right -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 13:20

  - ooh, nice. i'll add those to my repertoire! -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 13:08
- Can you go pun-like and bring a steak? What about a knife with some short of stake-like sheathing? -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 13:07 3
  - (A Steak? Oh no, Dyslexic Buffy strikes again!) - ty97 Jan 15, 13:08 1
    - "Are you Lady Gaga?" -- nm - literally every guest Jan 15, 13:10
  - i'm going to my office holiday party (theme: come as your favourite tv character of all time). not really the place for a pun costume. -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 13:08
- wait, i cut break a wooden spoon, that works, right? -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 13:06 6
  - Is it a slotted spoon? -- nm - Qale Jan 15, 13:10
  - I would prefer something less round. Wood handled rubber scraper?a -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:08 4
    - i am ransacking my kitchen - everything is frigging silicone. -- nm - Andie Jan 15, 13:09 2
      - actually that's a good thing cause as we all know now, vampires are hot -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 15, 13:12
      - *snicker* everything -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:11
    - if she breaks the spoon, she could whittle it to a stake quickly, maybe -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 13:09
Also, we're at the movies again. We can see the dilemma or black swan. Or we can go to a bar and drink the two hours away. C, right? -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 12:55 11
- Totally C. - ty97 Jan 15, 13:03 4
  - of those 2, it's definitely closer to B, but it's anything but dreadfully so, ihmo -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 13:09 2
    - You've never met anything that was too arty for you though. -- nm - ty97 Jan 15, 13:18 1
      - I think I'd describe it as an upscale horror film that still finds a way to be deliciously trashy. -- nm - Qale Jan 15, 13:23
  - One of my bartenders has black swan digitally anyway. I could just borrow it if I wanted to see it. - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 13:06
- Swan! -- nm - Qale Jan 15, 12:56 4
  - this. -- nm - Remlik Jan 15, 13:19
  - We're scared of it. We think it may be too creepy for us. Or too tense for me. -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 12:57 2
    - Widgett Walls, a friend of mine who runs Needcoffe.com said and I quote. "I got freaked out by a ballet movie." -- (link) - Qale Jan 15, 12:59 [youtube] 1
      - Also from the site, The Twisted Swan... a drink recipe - Qale Jan 15, 13:05
- KMF -- nm - znufrii Jan 15, 12:56
I don't know that I find mangagement rings super unhetero. It's kind of sweet. Unless it looks like a chickgagement ring. Then it's way gay. - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 12:53 7
- That is how it works. Chick gets married and she becomes Mrs and losers her own last name/identity. Dudes... stay the same. -- nm - Spawn Jan 15, 13:17 1
  - i think it can work however chick/dude want it to work -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:20
- i think i'd only want one if she proposed to me -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 12:54 4
  - So she wouldn't wear one in that case? Just you? -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 12:55 3
    - no, i would steal the hope diamond for her if a chick actually proposed to me -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 12:57 2
      - Wait until after she's married you to steal it. Conjugal visits, you know. -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 15, 12:59 1
        
        i ain't gettin caught! -- nm - hell comes to pittsburgh Jan 15, 13:00

    - Israel did another comando raid to pick up 20 tourists, I suspect HK ran out of cell phone time and/or battery juice - zeitgeist Jan 15, 13:14
