- I am getting Highway - helloooo Jake and Jared -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:58 3
  - The shot of Jake in the beginning... wow. -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 14:00 2
    - (Jared, not Jake.) -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 14:00 1
      - its been so long since I seen it - but we use to quote this movie all the time. Woot! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 14:07

- I'm glad to see this... lots of calories from drinks wreak havoc on your diet -- nm - stewie Feb 23, 14:05
- I probably overdoit on the OJ around this time of year -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 14:05
- I prefer my grains fermented. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 14:00

- soda and coffee (if it's too bitter) -- nm - psilotum Feb 23, 13:56

  - [deleted] 1
    - the thought of full power Coke on my tongue makes me something something something. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 13:59
- no. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:55
What kind of apple is TT's consensus for type of apple for apple pie? - musubi Feb 23, 13:53 26
- we like Spartan apples, but we usually make an apple cranberry pie so obviously the cranberries overpower the apple taste - J Feb 23, 14:00
- It should be on the tart side. - psilotum Feb 23, 13:58
- Uh... roundish. - Dr.Vermin Feb 23, 13:57
- I'll use whatever I feel like at that moment - and I don't think I've ever had/made an apple pie that wasn't good, so I don't know how much difference - kelly Feb 23, 13:57 2
  - sometimes the "eating" apples are too dry for pie. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:57 1
    - and some apples are way too mealy to eat raw. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:58
- Honey Crisp -- nm - lileve Feb 23, 13:56
- IIRC, my Joy of Cooking says Granny Smith, with a maybe on Pippin. There's a couple others... -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 13:55
- i don't know/any. (note: due to allergies, I can only eat apples when cooked/baked, as in a pie.) - TFox Feb 23, 13:55 14
  - That's bizarre. Why would that be? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:57 4
    - The more I tell people I have it, the more people I'm finding that also have it. My dentist is another one. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 13:58
    - If only we had a chemist here to explain how cooking changes molecular structure. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:58 2
      - or an allergist to explain what chemical it might be. - Reagen Feb 23, 13:59 1
        
        honestly, they don't always know. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:00
  - i have this allergy as well. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 13:57 8
    - there's another STer who has it too. they actually told me what it was called... and then I forgot. "auto" something. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 13:58 7
      - Laughing so much right now. Apparently it's called Oral Allergy Syndrome. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:59 6
        
        you're a weird bird. (laughing why?) but yes, that appears to be exactly it. -- (link) - TFox Feb 23, 14:01 5
        
        I think I have this, actually. Didn't realize there was a name for it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 14:03
        
        you have to admit it sound dirty. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:01
        
        laughing because you forgot Oral. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:01 2
        
        because you asked previously... - TFox Feb 23, 14:04 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:05
- red delicious should be fertilized with Agent Orange. For pie, I like a mix of apples. I don't like all-Granny pies. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:54 1
  - further: I find Grannys too waxy for pie. I like pie apples to be more meaty. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:55
- I lean toward Granny Smith -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:54
How f-in stipple is this? The electronic court filing service we use now has an 8MB size limit on the files uploaded to them for them to file. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 23, 13:49 9
- Lots of images? Do you have Acrobat Pro? You should be able to open the PDF, go to 'Document', and select 'Reduce File Size'. - Dr.Vermin Feb 23, 14:00
- get a better scanner.... -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 23, 13:53 3
  - 8MB seems pretty reasonable for PDF, etc. provided they're not scanned in color at like 300dpi with no compression -- nm - oblique Feb 23, 13:56 2
    - me: Your little printer can't handle a file of this size. Send it to the office printer. Boss: I don't understand. It's just one page. - Max Feb 23, 13:58 1
      - I feel like we need a national education campaign around DPI. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:01
- What is "stipple"? Is this some new catchphrase all the kids are using? (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:51 2
  - its an art medium - using colored dots to make a form, or piece - or whatever - Epiphany Feb 23, 14:09
  - I'm pretty sure Rhode Islanders made it up. -- nm - CQ Feb 23, 13:52
- Speaking of stoopid... - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 23, 13:50
Most of you will be surprised to know that, despite all my obsessive talk over it, I don't particularly care for pie. -- nm - The Rock Feb 23, 13:49 1
- This must be why we've never smelled you cooking it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:53
Dear TCM, I forget to tell you each year how much I love you in February -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:48 5
- my only complaint with them is they have never done a character actor month with a night dedicated to some of the greats like Walter Brennan, Ward - peglegpete Feb 23, 13:50 3
  - Or Pappy Schmecklinberger from Nineteen Tickety-Two! -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 13:56 2
    - Welcome back to Turner Classic Movies. In the month of February, we feature 200 movies shot by Pappy Smeckberger in July of 1922 -- nm - Robert Osborne Feb 23, 14:00
    - hee. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 13:58
- probably because I can't spell -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:49
Why anime fans pirate the shows they love. The biggest surprise? "Price" didn't come up once. -- (link) - con_carne Feb 23, 13:45 1
- Really? 1337 defendants? - psilotum Feb 23, 13:53
WTF, Georgia? -- (link) - znufrii Feb 23, 13:44
"Randy Quaid Allowed to Stay in Canada Indefinitely" .... lolwhut? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:39 3
- Cuz his wife was born canuck. -- nm - lileve Feb 23, 13:40 2
  - no, his wife's father was born canuck -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:44 1
    - Oh. shame on me. -- nm - lileve Feb 23, 13:45
"It tastes like feet" -- nm - oblique Feb 23, 13:39
Pippy, Kurt was jerk last night. Especially to his dad -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:38 10
- For all the positives that character seems to bring, could they make him more a stereotype? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:51
- He was right, but he still could have handled it better. -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 13:39 8
  - Kurt was wrong. -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:42
  - see I think his dad was right. (Glee Spoilers) - Mel Profit Feb 23, 13:41 2
    - oh Dad was right -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:42 1
      - I misunderstood the nubs. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 13:46
  - that last parting shot was not right at all *spoils* - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:40 3
    - I liked how it shows a kid being cruel when he doesn't get his way, even at that age. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 13:43 1
      - yeah, kids are not always sunshiney nice or fair to their parents in real life - for sure -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:55
    - that parting shot was beyond the pale -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:42
3.141592 -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 13:38 3
- 355/113 -- nm - psilotum Feb 23, 14:01
- That's a bad place to stop because the next digit would force your 2 to round to a 3. - TFox Feb 23, 13:43 1
  - Kid, your FACE is a bad place to stop. -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 14:02
I love my baby's Pound Cake -- nm - prayformojo Feb 23, 13:38 2
- Home grown and down home. -- nm - David Feb 23, 13:39
- Euphemism? -- nm - mara Feb 23, 13:39
Per Twitter: "Ad for vasectomy surgery timed for 1st weekend of NCAA tourney.... 'lower your see for the tournament.'" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 13:37 2
- crap.... "lower your *seed* for the tournament." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 13:39
- I assume you're missing a "d", and ergo the humor. -- nm - nubby Feb 23, 13:38

- My cousin is collecting family recipes for a cookbook for distribution at our reunion this summer. - psilotum Feb 23, 13:55
- The Landbecks and Slackertalk -- psychically bound. (Sorry, didn't mean to depress you.) -- nm - mara Feb 23, 13:38 4
  - I am resolutely irrepressibly undepressable. -- nm - landbeck Feb 23, 13:40 3
    - Challenge accepted! (nm) - TT's hatey machine Feb 23, 13:41 2
      - The first rule of irrepressability; ignore every unneedful depressing thing. -- nm - landbeck Feb 23, 13:43
      - Repetitive Hatey Machine! another great band name. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:42
Short of an airstrike, it's hard to even get rid of rhubarb. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:35 14
- My county is the rhubard capitol of the US, we grow most all ever sold in this country, because of our long damp chilly springs, short summers - zeitgeist Feb 23, 13:39
- Wait til it gets a load of me.... -- nm - gypsyblackwidow Feb 23, 13:37
- So from what I'm gathering, it's invasive, sour, red celery. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:37 7
  - with highly toxic leaves. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:38 5
    - Max! *shakes fist* (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:40 4
      - it's made with love. and love conquers all, so you'll be fine. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 13:41 3
        
        I'm going to conquer your face with my fist. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:45 2
        
        You're probably immune. It's a gamble I'm willing to take. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 13:47 1
        
        When my ghost haunts your poison vegetable loving ass, you'll be sorry you weren't more risk averse. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:50
  - yes, that's why they had to give it a cool name like Rhubarb -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:38
- it's like mint. the vegetable garden we had when i was a kid is long gone. but the rhubarb is still there in my mom's backyard. even the chives - Andie Feb 23, 13:37 1
  - My parents finally got rid of the mint, but the chives are still there. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:37

Poll: Generally which do you like better, pie crust or pie filling? - Andie Feb 23, 13:34 15
- depends on the crust. graham cracker crust if it's the crust, otherwise the filling -- nm - CQ Feb 23, 13:50
- Crust. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 23, 13:45
- yes -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:43
- filling. -- nm - kelly Feb 23, 13:40
- They are both good together and seperately. -- nm - Amy Feb 23, 13:38 1
  - this - I need to learn to make better crusts -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:39
- depends on the pie. Sometimes, a chocolate graham crust is divine ... but other times, a buttery pastry crust is complemented by the delicious filling -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 13:37
- this is funny. I once read that men tend to prefer the filling and women tend to prefer the crust. - loosilu Feb 23, 13:37
- Neither one does much for me in the absence of the other. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:36

- Crust, when it's made with butter -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 13:35
- *shoots the hostage* -- nm - oblique Feb 23, 13:35
- Filling -- nm - prayformojo Feb 23, 13:35
Pie confession: I don't like Meringue. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:34 21
- I'm not sure I've ever had meringue. - kelly Feb 23, 13:55
- I only really like the way my mom makes it. - Reagen Feb 23, 13:44 3
  - apple pie = the greatest pie. -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 13:44 2
    - worst spelling of cherry pie - ever -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:59
    - Apple pie has probably the greatest variation of any fruit pie. I mean, naturally. - con_carne Feb 23, 13:47
- it's gross -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:41
- Eh, it's just okay for me. Isn't it basically just egg white and sugar? -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 13:40 2
  - Think about that for a second. Why would that be a good thing? (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:44 1
    - Yes, it looks like it's going to be creamy, and it isn't at all :) -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 13:46
- I'm shocked to find we have this in common -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:39 3
  - If you're just learn to hate the Designated Hitter, we could be friends. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:43 2
    - I'm not sure that is a good trade -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:45 1
      - I am willing to compromise on many a thing, but the designated hitter is not one of them. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:48
- My brother. I strip it off the pie. -- nm - David Feb 23, 13:38 3
  - Lemon Meringue would be a perfect pie, if not for the meringue. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 13:41 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - David Feb 23, 13:48
  - I hate how there's a skin on top, but the bottom gets slimy. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:39
- *interrogates you under hot lights* -- nm - shakira's hips Feb 23, 13:37
- but do you like to tango? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 13:34 1
  - I like salsa -- nm - oblique Feb 23, 13:34
- me neither. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 13:34
