    - Forest Whitaker and Janine Garofalo, I think -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:14 2
      - i'm sure she'll bitch about how much it pains her to sell out with every giant check she cashes -- nm - cupixie Feb 14, 13:16
      - The Garafalo was easily the best of the Oscar nominated shorts this year -- nm - prayformojo Feb 14, 13:16
  - the funny thing is, there aren't enough dead people to give the first lab full-time work. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:11 30
    - No, they stay pretty busy over at the Jeffersonian. nm -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:14 29
      - they must be planting their own skeletons. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:14 28
        
        Well, they actually have jobs aside from helping the FBI. The lab and the staff were there before they began helping the Feds. - Jim Feb 14, 13:17 16
        
        Jobs doing what? -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:17 15
        
        Doing whatever anthropologists do. All I know is it usually involves a table full of 500 year old bones or something. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:19
        
        The Jeffersonian has a huge backlog of anthropological material to work through -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:18 13
        
        like what? can't be Native American, that was all repatriated. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:20 11
        
        In the room where they have the bones on the table for X-rays and such, there's an entire wall with tupperware boxes of bones -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
        
        Well, she is the foremost expert in her field. She does travel the world doing anthropological stuff. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:20 9
        
        that stuff lives in museums and universities. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:22 7
        
        uh, I think the Jeffersonian Institute is also a museum. As evidenced by some of the museum-like events they've had. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:23 4
        
        Exactly. Apparently, the Smithsonian won't let them use the name...so it's the Jeffersonian on the show. - Jim Feb 14, 13:24 3
        
        well, a Smithsonian with private funding -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:25
        
        the Smithsonian is, as far as I know, the only place remotely analogous, so that makes sense. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:25 1
        
        You mean tv shows are exactly like real life? - pmb Feb 14, 13:43
        
        Well she is employed by the "Jeffersonian"...which is essentially the Smithsonian. I think that's a museum. -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 13:23 1
        
        OIC. fair enuff. I have not watched it much, clearly. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:24
        
        Maybe we should just get loosi to email Kathy Reichs and ask ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:21
        
        (They have shown "the vault" a few times) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:19
        
        (yeah yeah, I know. Suspension of disbelief. Just goes too far for me to enjoy the show) -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:15 9
        
        but NCIS works for you. (titter.) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 13:23 5
        
        sure. it's totally unrealistic, but it's not my world, so I don't care. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:23 4
        
        I completely understand. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:24 3
        
        and I don't mean for anything I say to take away anyone's enjoyment. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:27 2
        
        (you just mean to say it over and over again? (I';m just pointing it out. you could say it and then walk.)) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 13:37
        
        We're just trying to convince you to like it, because we enjoy it so much. But I understand exactly where you're coming from. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:34
        
        I prefer to take a multiverse approach to shows like that, and just assume they are set in a universe that works differently than ours :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:16 2
        
        I can do that sometimes, but not in this case, for whatever reason. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:17 1
        
        It hits too close to home, like me and Big Bang Theory. Well, that and the irksome canned laughter. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:18
        
        Maybe. -- nm - Zach si Feb 14, 13:15
  - Kinda. They're spinning off a character who's yet to be on the show. Essentially, they're sticking the pilot for this new show - Jim Feb 14, 13:08 4
    - that's how they did the CSI spinoffs, as well as NCIS. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:10
    - aka the Backdoor Pilot. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 13:08 1
      - whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't say nuthin' about no Back Door. -- nm - "T.C." Calvin si Feb 14, 13:09
    - I'm not opposed to that, but I'm still waiting for CGIS -- nm - Beryllium Feb 14, 13:08
- " a bar owner who knows her way around a helicopter cockpit." - has to be done right to pull that off -- nm - crash davis Feb 14, 13:06 1
  - You got that right. -- nm - Rick Wright si Feb 14, 13:07
I really don't like glittens, in case anyone wondered. I just wear fingerless gloves. I'm hardcore. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 12:58 12
- have you seen the fingertip touch gloves that work on the smart phones? kinda cool for us in the tundra :) -- nm - JenBro Feb 14, 13:07 1
  - the capacitive gloves? yes; I have some gloves into which we sewed capacitive thread. it's so gimmicky to me somehow. I'd rather risk frostbite. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 13:14
- What I did like when skiing though were regular mittens with individual finger holes inside made of just the lining. - TFox Feb 14, 13:07
- I have gloves, and fingerless mittens (which I made). -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:04
- wtf are "glittens"? -- nm - znufrii Feb 14, 13:00 4
  - glittery mittens! - Andie Feb 14, 13:02
  - sorta like this -- (link) - cupixie Feb 14, 13:01 2
    - ah, those. -- nm - znufrii Feb 14, 13:03 1
      - sorry, i'm sure they were hipster de riguer five years ago -- nm - cupixie Feb 14, 13:04
- they're kinda weird looking. the mitten parts flop around - cupixie Feb 14, 12:59
- I go hobo-style, with the thin gloves inside the fingerless. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 12:59 1
  - I like this look on dudes (cue homeless dude joke in 3... 2...1...) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 13:15
double bonus dear prudence chat q: the thought of planning for and getting married literally makes her nauseous - cupixie Feb 14, 12:58 18
- how messed up do you have to be to walk past a book, fucking vomit, and then go "I don't know what just happened!" - TFox Feb 14, 13:14
- Lesbian. -- nm - David Feb 14, 13:12 3
  - That's your answer for everything! - Reagen Feb 14, 13:13 2
    - "what is this on the bottom of my shoe?" -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:21
    - Lesbians? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 14, 13:15
- sounds like it's not the wedding so much as the marriage that makes her sick. - loosilu Feb 14, 13:06 1
  - Indeed. "things are generally great" is a pretty clear damnation by faint praise. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 14, 13:10
- elope - znufrii Feb 14, 13:00 8
  - i don't think that's her issue. if she's asking if this is about her relationship, my guess is 'yes it is.' -- nm - Andie Feb 14, 13:01 7
    - [deleted]
    - then she's deceiving herself that they've "worked through" their issues, if it's giving her this much pause. - znufrii Feb 14, 13:07 4
      - feeling nauseous is a sign of some remaining issues, I'd say. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:13 3
        
        could be. - znufrii Feb 14, 13:15 2
        
        if you have anxiety triggered by your engagement, you need to take care of that before you get married. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 13:17 1

- Fuck the doorman. -- nm - Spawn Feb 14, 12:59 1
  - yeah, this. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 14, 13:24
Abby's jackolantern pail is still 25% full of Halloween candy - prayformojo Feb 14, 12:56 4
- but is it random candy, or is it specifically the crap candy? -- nm - crash davis Feb 14, 13:11
- We had to take Andrew's candy away a couple days after Halloween and then forgot about it. I believe it's still in a cabinet above the fridge. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 13:01 2
  - We have a "candy drawer" in our kitchen. And when people bring kids over, we strongly encourage them to raid the drawer as much as possible. - Jim Feb 14, 13:04 1
    - I do that too, but only about 30 mins before they leave for home. -- nm - reelgirl Feb 14, 13:07
The alternative cover for the "Born This Way' spells out LGBT. That's a big statement for a single cover. -- (link) - MDH Feb 14, 12:56 [Image] 5
- between this and the song's lyrics, i'm beginning to detect some homoerotic undertones -- nm - cupixie Feb 14, 12:56 4
  - I'm going to laugh when the song turns out to be about heterosexuality. - Mel Profit Feb 14, 13:07 2
    - I'm going to laugh when the song ends up being about a Toblerone bar. - TFox Feb 14, 13:08 1
      - Well, there have been songs about lesser things. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 14, 13:22
  - The Onion's going to have to update its "Madonna Shocks Seven" headline. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 12:58
