  - I can't tell. The one pole dancer I know used to be able to do that kind of stuff, but not in that small of room. -- nm - Remlik Feb 15, 13:33 1
    - In the name of research I clicked on other pole dancing links on youtube. Apparently it is -- nm - oblique Feb 15, 13:35

If I had all the time in the world I'd watch HIMYM, but it simply isn't *that* good. - musubi Feb 15, 12:54 16
- Wait, you will stick with The Office but not HIMYM? - Spawn Feb 15, 13:02 11
  - The Office has been good for a lot longer than HIMYM. - musubi Feb 15, 13:10 10
    - *Used* to be good. - Spawn Feb 15, 13:11 9
      - Just like HIMYM, except The Office has a better resume. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 13:13 8
        
        Not when you see just how bad The Office got. You run the averages, and HIMYM is leaps and bounds ahead. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:14 6
        
        Nope, you're wrong. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 13:16 5
        
        If you have not been watching HIMYM, you can not really say. - Spawn Feb 15, 13:17 4
        
        I'm not saying it can't possibly have a good episode, I specifically said that they do have funny bits. - musubi Feb 15, 13:22 2
        
        Your last line negates any point you try to make. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:25 1
        
        The line I feel best encapsulates my feelings is "Barney being mysoginistic can only carry the show so far". - musubi Feb 15, 13:37
        
        Both shows are gasping at this point. HIMYM might have had 2 episodes decent in a row...but that's not sterling at this point. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 13:21
        
        Resume? What is that a bad pun? :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 13:14
- You should still make an effort to watch last week's. I don't think the show is very good, but that episode was. -- nm - David Feb 15, 13:00 1
  - So noted, I'll try to Hulu it. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 13:09
- note that 2/3rds of those are pretty new shows. -- nm - Max Feb 15, 12:57 1
  - That's why I dropped HIMYM in the last year. Schedule got too crowded. (nm) - musubi Feb 15, 13:09
guess what popular star trek actor my boss was at the beverly hills spa with this morning? -- nm - moles Feb 15, 12:53 48

      - It's on the Madonna FB Wall. - Amy Feb 15, 13:28 1
        
        If Madge doesn't have a restraining order against her, she ought to reconsider. - TWuG Feb 15, 13:32
    - L5. lol. 25 Spawn Points. *snork* -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:19 1
      - When FB isn't evil, it's *about* evil -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 13:26
  - Who would have thought that Stacy would be the one to truly outgrow ST? -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:07 1
    - Makes sense. Here we wouldn't let her live in her delusion. She was constantly challenged. Easier to go than constantly confront your own crazy. -- nm - TWuG Feb 15, 13:14
- Michael Dorn -- nm - zork Feb 15, 12:58

    - Jordie? -- nm - not2fast Feb 15, 12:58 13
      - Nit: Geordi -- nm - TWuG Feb 15, 13:03
      - *ding* one gold visor for you! -- nm - moles Feb 15, 12:59 11
        
        don't I get points for naming the actor rather than the character? -- nm - loosilu Feb 15, 13:01
        
        Wheaton or Spiner were closer than Whoopie, dumb dumb. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:00 9

        Wow. You are right. I don't even see skin color. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:08 1
        
        A common characteristic of serpents - con_carne Feb 15, 13:10
        
        Maybe he meant demographically :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 13:04
        
        Star Wars fan -- nm - crash davis Feb 15, 13:04
        
        Scotty would have been closest in a way -- nm - zork Feb 15, 13:02 1
        
        Yeah, I meant that Whoopie was a reoccuring bar tender. He and Spiner were on every week and were best friends. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 13:05
    - Da Lancie -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 12:57

      - Indeed. It's kinda crazy. -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 13:36
I'll watch Deadwood if Mel watches Justified. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 12:50 5
- I am watching it for now...but I make no promises to continue. - Mel Profit Feb 15, 12:59 4
  - 1st season or 2nd? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 13:06 2
    - picking up on the 2nd season. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 15, 13:06 1
      - see I am not sure if you get the true effect this way - Epiphany Feb 15, 13:15
  - You will both benefit from the experience. -- nm - not2fast Feb 15, 13:05
Anyone interested in buying a brand new T-Mobile G2? ;-) - Krusty Feb 15, 12:49
Net Jacket = The outer braided nylon jacket you find on some cables. Might provide a bit of insulation, but pretty much not needed imo. -- nm - decline Feb 15, 12:47 1
- Thanks, I ended up going with that one since the only difference in specs was 48-bit RGB instead of 16-bit. - not2fast Feb 15, 12:57
Betty Lou Oconomowoc! -- nm - mara Feb 15, 12:47 2

B2: Deadwood was alot like OZ for me. Totally different settings but violence just hung in the air at all times on both shows -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 12:47
LIR: STIS: I need to see if I'm right in doing this. I broke my cellphone more than a month ago and I received the replacement rather quickly. - Krusty Feb 15, 12:45 11
- I would hold onto the broken one until they send you the label. Sounds like they're incompetent enough to assert that you didn't return the broken one - Loyola Feb 15, 12:50 5
  - I don't know if I'll ever receive the label. Every week for four weeks they say they're sending me one but it never arrives. - Krusty Feb 15, 12:53 4
    - Bound to be frustrating, but if they don't send you the label in order for you to return the phone, that's their baby. - Loyola Feb 15, 12:58 1
      - Thanks. I'm going to call them in a little bit. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 13:00
    - There's no way you'd end up paying the $300. Document your calls, who you talk to, the case numbers and trouble ticket numbers - oblique Feb 15, 12:54 1
      - I am and I will continue to as this continues. :-( Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 13:00
- Assurion wants to date you. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 12:48
- I have no problem keeping things that stupid companies send me by mistake. Of course if they ask for it back, I'll send it (their dime) - oblique Feb 15, 12:47
- sounds right to me. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 12:46
- sounds reasonable to me. -- nm - decline Feb 15, 12:46 1
  - Thanks. I'm paranoid about winding up a $300 bill for not returning the broken phone and want to send it back asap. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 12:47
Remlik....this podcast is really interesting. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 12:45

Roger More, please email me when you have a moment. - David Feb 15, 12:44 4
- This is how it starts. -- nm - Spawn Feb 15, 12:45
- its a trap. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:44 2
  - My email traps are particularly diabolical. -- nm - David Feb 15, 12:45 1
    - and essentially simple to avoid. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 12:46
