  - fwiw, the best local pho place we have serves only beef. -- nm - loosilu Feb 1, 10:48
  - Right, Pho is a specific dish. "Thai" is an entire country's cuisine. -- nm - con_carne Feb 1, 10:39 2
    - Should I have written "A Vietnamese soup"? - OAE -- Old Antarctic Explorer Feb 1, 10:42 1

- I like the striped ones. -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 10:28
- I'm the opposite -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:28 4
  - they're like something middle school girls would use cause they're "pretty" -- nm - moles Feb 1, 10:30 3
    - I like them because they don't wear as harshly on the paper. And you can collate topics by color, but they are more attractive as well - crash davis Feb 1, 10:34 1
      - *slaps your Trapper Keeper to the floor* -- nm - Max Feb 1, 10:36
    - crash dots his 'i's with little hearts. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 10:32

  - I say "alligator clips." I use them for emergency clothing alterations. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 1, 10:22 2
    - They are my cube stress ball replacement. Clipping two of them to each other in various ways. -- nm - TFox Feb 1, 10:23 1
      - I can tell where I am in the billing cycle by how many clips are attached to the lip of my pen cup. - Max Feb 1, 10:27
  - for papers thick enough to take a binder clip, sure -- nm - moles Feb 1, 10:20 1
    - I have a few sizes of clips, and tend to the smallest ones, but yes it's kind of useless for just a few pages. I tend to staple in that case. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 1, 10:22

Israel urges world to curb public criticism against Mubarak. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 1, 10:12 13
- this is surprising? - Danedukenuuk Feb 1, 10:29
- This seems like a surprise to me. And, I imagine, something that simplifies things for the Obama Administration a great deal. -- nm - con_carne Feb 1, 10:20 6

        It would hardly be starting a trend to subvert our own stated ideals and national interest for the sake of Israel's security... -- nm - znufrii Feb 1, 10:31
- this is like an NFL coach getting the "vote of confidence" from his owner the day before he fires his sorry ass -- nm - moles Feb 1, 10:19

Guy who refused to show ID to TSA, was charged and later acquitted? The video of the incident was deleted while in police custody. -- (link) - Mop (213 lbs) Feb 1, 10:09
this isn't nearly as good without the comedic timing and delivery, but I loved Bill Maher's take on the NFL and socialism - crash davis Feb 1, 10:05 4 1
- i swear there was someone around here who's been saying for year that pro sports were the last bastion of communism....nm - x Feb 1, 10:09 1
  - and I always agreed with you, I used George Will's comment that pro sports best fits Marxism in that labor does create the value -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:11
- that isn't the whole deal, there were some comments about Green Bay and the Jets needing to just shut up and play, but that is the jist of it -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:09
- Agreed. I really thought it was a cool and original point. -- nm - volnelk Feb 1, 10:08
I really wish they had used footage from Hot Shots(!). -- nm - Max Feb 1, 10:02
Speakin of Top Chef, who do you want in the final three? - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 1, 10:01 29
- Dale is talented but needs a personality transplant -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:07 9
  - He is *much* better than he was in his original season. Anger management is helping him a lot. - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:10 3
    - I gained even more respect for Fabio watching him cool Dale vis-a-vis servers in Restaurant Wars. -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:16
    - I might like him more from having not seen his previous season. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 1, 10:15
    - totally. he seems way more personable....nm - x Feb 1, 10:11
  - he is by far the person whose food i would most want to try....nm - x Feb 1, 10:09 4
    - not for me though, and I think that is just due to different perspectives on food - crash davis Feb 1, 10:10 3
      - yep. asian food is generally my fave....nm - x Feb 1, 10:12 2
        
        The thing I love about Asian food generally is that it is always full of surprises - con_carne Feb 1, 10:19
        
        and that is fine, but for me, asian cuisine is an after thought -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:15
- Blais, Fabio, Dale. - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:05 15
  - I do think Carla is the surprise pick here. She has really upped her game in two years. -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:07 14
    - She came out of nowhere during her season and almost won the darn thing. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 10:10 12
      - actually, in her season and where she was at, I think #3 was as far as she was going -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:12 10
        
        I completely disagree with this assessment. She was the dominant chef in the second half of her season. Casey talked her into doing something... - David Feb 1, 10:37 6
        
        I still put a lot of blame on Carla for this. - prayformojo Feb 1, 10:48 1
        
        its like Belichik letting an assistant call a disastrous play, the head coach should get the blame for losing the game -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:50
        
        Everyone blames Casey, but Carla. And everyone but Carla is wrong. -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:43 3
        
        Carla made the decision and bears responsibility, but she was the best chef in her season. - David Feb 1, 10:47 2
        
        if you go to the stats, it was Stefan - watching the show, I felt it was Hosea -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:49 1
        
        Stefan finished low 3 times in the final 5 episodes. - David Feb 1, 10:51
        
        It's rare that the best chef wins the Finale. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 10:21 2
        
        I'll disagree, but I haven't seen the first four seasons -- nm - crash davis Feb 1, 10:24 1
        
        I disagree for the most part, too. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:31
      - stupid Casey. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:11
    - if the question was "who do you think will get in?" I'd change it to her or Angelo plus the other two. But it was "who do I want?" - Kim Pine Feb 1, 10:10
- Carla, Richard, Dale -- nm - prayformojo Feb 1, 10:04 1
  - I second this one. -- nm - David Feb 1, 10:36
- I'd like to see Blais, Dale and Angelo. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 10:02
is it tougher to get a co-mortgage with someone to whom you're not married? - amanda jones Feb 1, 10:00 10
- Yes. - Spawn Feb 1, 10:27
- did it once in the 90's, wasn't a big deal -- nm - ceregon Feb 1, 10:06
- I had a related unrelated real estate thought this weekend. Let's say someone with millions in cash buys a house for a friend to live in. - Max Feb 1, 10:06 3
  - ST Poll: What is Max up to? - Mel Profit Feb 1, 10:41
  - as long as they pay back the loan, it's not fraud -- nm - moles Feb 1, 10:11
  - ("fraud or tax liability" I should have said.) -- nm - Max Feb 1, 10:07
- It was the same both ways for my wife and I. Although we later found out that it would have been more advantageous to have each purchase in only one - Beryllium Feb 1, 10:05
- I don't know, and there are probably some variables. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 1, 10:04 1
  - this may well be true. there is no common law in mass....nm - x Feb 1, 10:05
- it didn't seem to make much diff for my gf + i in massachusetts....nm - x Feb 1, 10:02
onvacation should be back in vacation mode now - tRuMaN thinks the boom! Feb 1, 10:00 2

- leg hump me with the info. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 1, 10:17
What's for lunch? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 1, 09:56 27

  - With mustard? Mmm... -- nm - con_carne Feb 1, 10:29
  - pigs in a blanket! -- nm - decline Feb 1, 10:24 1
    - that isn't very nice. -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 10:33
- some food truck fare, i imagine -- nm - moles Feb 1, 10:11
- I don't know yet, but breakfast is a pommegranate strudel and a shortbread cookie with a fruit filling -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 10:11
- braised beef tips over egg noodles, broccoli, coffee. -- nm - TFox Feb 1, 10:05
- mung beans + shiitake, tofu + hoisin, chinese scrambled eggs, rice ball, granny smith apple, rosemary marshmallow square + some chips...nm - x Feb 1, 10:04 4
  - your own marshmallow? -- nm - loosilu Feb 1, 10:13 1
    - yeah, made 'em with the hommeade marshmallows....nm - x Feb 1, 10:14
  - *blinks* uh....yum, apple. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 1, 10:08
  - This reminds me: I need to stop off at our local japanese markets more often for free samples - con_carne Feb 1, 10:06
- [deleted] 1
  - I know what I'd do with it... -- nm - JaxSean SI Feb 1, 10:29
- My deli downstairs makes the best veggie soup. That plus hot ham + swiss on sourdough. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 10:01
- pastrami sandwich, apple, banana, carrots -- nm - ceregon Feb 1, 10:00 2
  - Hot or cold sandwich? -- nm - con_carne Feb 1, 10:03 1
    - cold -- nm - ceregon Feb 1, 10:07
- I had leftover rotini with ground sausage and a red sauce with cheese. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 1, 10:00 1
