Conversation I just had with myself, as I anticipated feedback from this afternoon's slew of dumb jokes from my fingers ... - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:25 9
- I can never decide if I should treasure or worry about the imaginary conversations I have with other people in my head. - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 15:30
- i imagine this is why you dont play halo - tRuMaN Feb 10, 15:26 7
  - No, I don't play Halo because it doesn't have a Pause button, and I don't want you guys to buttrape my player while I tend to the crying baby. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:27 6
    - So, you want to be cognizant of it happening? - David Feb 10, 15:30
    - Groiny's used to buttraping your player. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:30
    - excuses excuses. I think you are lying, cause you can also quit mid game -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 15:29 1
      - what fun is that? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:30
    - (In this case, I mean a literal crying baby, not one of you crybabies.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:28 1
      - It can't mean both? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:29
CCFH - Conference Call From Hell. 9 hours and 17 minutes. - not2fast Feb 10, 15:17 13
- Should have put that one on the personal bill of whoever called it into being. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:19
- There's no way anything of value came of that. No way. -- nm - TWuG Feb 10, 15:19 3
  - The phone company doesn't think so. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:19 2
    - Um ... - not2fast Feb 10, 15:20 1
      - Well...no wonder. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:22
- That's absurd in every way. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:18 4
  - They did say we could go on all night if necessary. We had to get this plan done. -- nm - not2fast Feb 10, 15:19 3
    - If you're on the phone talking for 9 hours, you ain't getting the plan done. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:22
    - Enough is enough. Ty97 has roped just about enough time and manpower into finally deciding his accent wall colors. This has to end NOW! -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 15:21 1

- wtf? -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 15:18 2
  - WTF, Hell?! -- nm - let me fix that for you Feb 10, 15:18 1
    - imagine the roaming charges! -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 15:27
And they took her to the ER becuase she *had* been coughing? - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:10 8
- hey, they gave her the option! - kelly Feb 10, 15:15 7
  - I'll tie her to the roof of the car and go driving .... look kids, Big Ben! Parliament! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:16 6
    - oh, no fair! - kelly Feb 10, 15:21 4
      - Gallows humor is the best humor. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:22 3
        
        I was going to mention the weight distribution on the car, but... -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 15:24 2
        
        I'll steal dad's nascar with the reinforced roll cage. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:27
        
        Are you saying I'm fat? -- nm - Honky the Car si Feb 10, 15:25
    - Be quiet, Clark. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:16

- I have no idea but I sincerely wonder. every. single. day. - Epiphany Feb 10, 15:28
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 15:22
- You can hate life and be nice. You can have rude, awful parents and be nice. Nature probably gives - TWuG Feb 10, 15:18 1
  - Honestly, crappy parenting (from my observation) sometimes seems to have a pendulum effect. - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:20
- Half-jokingly, I usually think it has to do with how satisfied they are sexually -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 15:15
- Their upbringing and the reality around them. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:15 7
  - having known someone like that, I can say you're wrong. More a matter of being more sane than what they grew up with. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:21 6
    - Having know someone like that, I can say I'm right. More a matter of being in denial of reality. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:24 5
      - WTF -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:25 4
        
        Then we're both right and wrong. -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:26 3
        
        Most likely. I like hop-scotching back and forth between the two options. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 15:27 2

        ..... -- (link) - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:31 [Backboard]
- More and more, I'm leaning towards nature over nurture for things like this. I feel like it's around 80/20. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 15:13 1
  - I think I know who Will Hunting wants to play poker with -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:15
- It comes from upbringing. Their parents were probably mean too. If my kids grow up mean I'll disown them. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 15:05
- both -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:05
- both -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 15:05 9

    - interesting that the chapter I'm reading in my textbook right now is on identity and subjectivity - znufrii Feb 10, 15:28
    - my vote is that life'll make you mean. - TFox Feb 10, 15:21
    - It's a question they're still working on. - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:12
    - Wilson. The opposite is House. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:10

hello. is my bus locator down for you too, or just for me? -- (link) - amanda jones Feb 10, 14:50 9
- also, of course it's the red bus -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 15:20
- looks like it's working for me. -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:10
- Catbus! -- (link) - cupixie Feb 10, 15:00 [Image] 4
  - the best MTA can do for us is call 511 and tell them your stop and they'll tell you when the next bus is due - cupixie Feb 10, 15:02 3
    - this is the same ridiculous empty service that WMATA provides. How they can't put GPS on every bus is a pathetic mystery. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 15:04 2
      - Women's and Men's Autoerotic Transportation Agency -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 15:24
      - When a standard iPhone can do "Find My iPhone", I don't see how it's so much of an issue for them to do this. Erph. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 15:09

- he's going out Tony Montana style -- nm - cupixie Feb 10, 14:48
- you have to wonder at this point right? who plays chicken with an entire country? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 14:48 1
  - And now we have an answer. -- nm - the liioulu with more cold Feb 10, 15:13

MH LYC - looks like there's new gifties for Valentine's Day - can't buy them yet though. -- nm - JenBro Feb 10, 14:37 2

someone is fired for not telling me about the bluray fantasia discs. - tRuMaN Feb 10, 14:27 4

  - still fired. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 14:59
- tron it, dummy. i said they were dope like last week. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 14:30

hmmm, so apparantly Mr Sunshine premeired to really good numbers...too bad I didnt laugh once. (anyone else think this was awful?) -- nm - Jovian Feb 10, 14:13 8
- It's got Andrea Anders. It's doomed. -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 15:07
- Not happy with the pilot but I do feel it has potential so I'll give it more time. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 14:20 3
  - This. I like too much of the cast to think it can't be better. (nm) - musubi Feb 10, 14:32
  - the concept could work, maybe, possibly -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:23 1
    - I *love* the three second theme song though. I might want it as a ringtone. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 14:30
- nope. not that good. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 14:19
- It was on a night that I also got MF, FNL, Human Target, TC All-Stars, and Justified. I didn't know if I was judging it fairly -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:15 1
  - and Sons of Guns -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 14:19
NCAA Rules Committee states the obvious. - David Feb 10, 14:09 5

  - or enforce -- nm - stewie Feb 10, 14:20

  - as long as he doesn't shoot a rap video inside the kidney, he's cool. -- nm - TFox Feb 10, 14:15
- my initial reaction is negative, as some 18 year old kid will unintentionally screw up a huge game that way -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:12
We have a little podunk customer called IBM visiting this afternoon. Maybe you've heard of them. - con_carne Feb 10, 14:08 1
- aren't they the people who refused the PC idea when it was developed in house 35 years ago -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 14:09
Top Chef mini spoiler observation - peglegpete Feb 10, 14:08 4
- Yup. Said player sets the standard. -- nm - David Feb 10, 14:10 1
  - peglegpete is very correct when he points out a total different attitude on TC Masters. Still regular TC is a much healthier atmosphere than Hell's - crash davis Feb 10, 14:14
- you're right and he should be commended more than he has been (also mini-spoiler) - crash davis Feb 10, 14:10 1
  - during the bad reviews with the judges, Dale looked like if he was evicted he would kill someone -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 14:11
MH: Just started playing in the Seasonal Garden. Do people use attraction stuff like the target base or stuff to charge up the amplifier? - celedhring Feb 10, 14:06 3
- If you're collecting the keys, prepare for a bit of a slog. Each season lasts 80 hours, so you'll be in the garden at least a weak just to get the 4 - TWuG Feb 10, 14:14
- It charges up pretty fast (i.e. a day or two) with normal bases. - TFox Feb 10, 14:07 1
  - Thanks, I've been using those attraction charms so far, and it seems going well (in Spring at least). -- nm - celedhring Feb 10, 14:10
I'm typically modest, but I'm declaring me the winner of last board. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:01 7
- *laughing* - kelly Feb 10, 15:02
- Actually, the winning post was: "He could simultaneously be the host and the immunity idol!" - David Feb 10, 14:05 1
  - *Wanders over to the water* -- nm - Rupert Feb 10, 14:06
- You get that *and kelly*?? The world is no fair, I tells ya. -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 14:05
- I'm happy for you and all, but are you sure that is a title that you want? -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:03 1
  - Winner of B2. Sure. We've given things proper amount of time to settle and reflect upon historical glory. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:04
- I win Valentine's Day! -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 14:03
Kicked off the internet. -- nm - David Feb 10, 13:59 17
- I just like to pointed out that I decried Frenchy's inadequacy as a player long before his Braves shine wore off for you. (link) - musubi Feb 10, 14:36 [Image] 2
  - I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure I was the first to notice he hadn't walked yet in his MLB career. -- nm - David Feb 10, 14:45 1
    - Yeah, I noticed and was too busy selling his rookie cards to care. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:51
- There's that robot internet as an alternative now. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 14:21

  - still more reliable then spawn. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 15:02
  - Status Quo alert! -- nm - David Feb 10, 14:03 5
    - admit it, you've missed the nervous dread that comes from knowing I have the sniper and you're somewhere between me and the bad guys -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:05 4
      - Coincidentally, your sniper skills came up in an email I sent to groiny yesterday. -- nm - David Feb 10, 14:06 3
        
        Anyone else who plays Halo curioius as to what this email discussed? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:07 2
        
        I'm guessing butt stuff -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:07 1
        
        "Crash can shoot you in the ass from 200yds away" can be taken so many ways. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:09
  - So you are playing this weekend...sweet! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:02 2
    - my connection has been so bad lately, it has been a miserable experience -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 14:02 1
      - Yeah...you really need to upgrade the twine from your housecan to the cable companies businesscan. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 14:03
