The ending of All Star Superman is eerily similar to Iron Giant. I can't decide if this is outright theft or a fitting tip of the cap. -- nm - David Feb 24, 09:34 7
- Speaking of Iron Giant, I had the pleasure of introducing Connor to it this past weekend. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:42 5
  - I honestly have been planning to talk to Amy about this one. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:43 4
    - SFEK - Spawn Feb 24, 09:43 3
      - I'd worry he'd get bored. He's still has trouble with the "wordier" movies. -- nm - Amy Feb 24, 09:45 2
        
        Connor is all about the robots, when the Iron Giant wasn't on the screen he'd just ask where it went. -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:48
        
        Trying to rememebr how much screen time there is without the Giant. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:48
- Bullcrap. - Spawn Feb 24, 09:35
Can someone on ST explain to me this whole "politicians fleeing the state" thing? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 24, 09:31 22
- Thanks. Forgot about quorum. Thought it had something to do with party representation. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 24, 09:38
- Kind of a more dramatic form of the filibuster. - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:34 2
  - Wow, that was a rather even-handed assessment of it. I'm surprisingly impressed. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 24, 09:35 1
    - Thanks! - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:41
- Legislature needs a quorum in order to do business, this prevents it - znufrii Feb 24, 09:34
- Dereliction of duty. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:33 14
  - But remember... obstruction in the name of supporting unions isn't really obstruction. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:39 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:40
  - The opposite, really. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:34 11
    - It's the political equivalent to taking your ball and going home because you're going to lose the game. -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:39 9
      - They could stay and filibuster--but who wants to listen to that?? :) -- nm - Amy Feb 24, 09:43 4
        
        Oh, most people wouldn't, but I'd give them a lot of credit for doing so! -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:49
        
        I wish for once that the people that threaten fillibusters would actually do it. - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:44 2
        
        There are lots of clips on youtube. -- nm - Amy Feb 24, 09:48

      - actually from what the Dem. Leader said, they had the bill rammed down their throat with no publicity and less than 4 days to deal with it - decline Feb 24, 09:41 1
        
        So if they'd had two weeks to review it they'd not have left? - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:45
      - moreso than just losing the game, it would break the board and scatter the pieces. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 09:41
      - Or supporting the unions. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:39
    - ~ Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin ~ -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:35
- They can't vote on bills unless there is a quorum. Because the 14 Dem's are not there they do not have it and so nothing can happen -- nm - decline Feb 24, 09:33
- Avoiding voting. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:32

- 83%. 4 minutes -- nm - dogbert Feb 24, 09:26 1
  - Cool! and I can have my other tenants beat up the ones that are late! - ceregon Feb 24, 09:29
- Ours is 5 day:$25 fee. Ten day: $50. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:26 4
  - is that like an industry standard? I've mostly lived in military housing or had a mortgage payment most of my adult life. -- nm - ceregon Feb 24, 09:27 1
    - It varies. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:28
  - The most evil lease I came across actually increased the ongoing monthly rent by the late fee. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:27 1
    - Evil land lady suggested that way back actually...when she suggested I was way too nice to be a proper landlord. -- nm - ceregon Feb 24, 09:28

- thats kind of endearing, actually. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 09:26

  - Dang, that's perfect timing. "Uh, Ahmed? Can I see that for a minute?" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:26
  - even grapefruit? -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 09:26 1
    - Jihad is jihad, Reagen.... -- nm - prayformojo Feb 24, 09:38
I don't know which conspiracy plot is funnier now, that OBL is giving Libyan protestors hallucinogens, or that Isreal is using vultures as spies... -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:18 1
- Qaddafi gives *awesome* crazy dixtator speeches. -- nm - loosilu on BB Feb 24, 09:19

- Safety first, Shaun. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 24, 09:18
- I washed it under the sink! It's fine! -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 09:16

Regarding Phillip - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:10 2

I've never dated anyone who practices religion, much less a devout one. - Hotkiss Feb 24, 09:09 21
- My wife and most recent former longterm ex were polar opposites on this matter. - Strongbad Feb 24, 09:41
- Wouldn't you eventually *want* to have premarital sex? (Serious question) -- nm - con_carne Feb 24, 09:29 1
  - Nope. -- nm - Random eunuch Feb 24, 09:31
- How did you meet him? How long have you known him? -- nm - amoxy Feb 24, 09:23 4
  - he came traveling through here back in January, then I invited him back and he actually took me up on it - Hotkiss Feb 24, 09:29 3
    - of course it makes a difference. he's in laid back, non-stressed, no family pressure travel mode. - Andie Feb 24, 09:33 2
      - The family pressure is what I was getting at - amoxy Feb 24, 09:35
      - Yup. Vacation mode is as far from real life as you can get. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:34
- I do give the guy a bit of credit since he flew that far to see you with no intention of jamming you. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 09:16 1
  - I'm baffled that someone could actually do that -- nm - dogbert Feb 24, 09:22
- sometime, devotion to a religion is as much about cultural signifiers as it is about theology. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 09:12 3
  - (for the record, the guy is American, not Tunisian) -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 24, 09:14 2
    - There's a lot of different cultures in america when it comes to this. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:17
    - in that case, the same observation applies. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 09:15
- Don't worry about it...the big decisions for it are years away. - Will Hunting Feb 24, 09:12
- Seems like the sex thing would be a... hindrance. - Spawn Feb 24, 09:11 4
  - And they when they do eventually have marital sex, is it only for procreation? - con_carne Feb 24, 09:32 1
    - I know a real life couple in their 20's who only have sex when they are trying to have a child - Epiphany Feb 24, 09:47
  - yes, I would find this concerning... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 09:13
  - agreed - it can go so wrong - on so many levels -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 09:12
- You think he'll convert you? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 24, 09:10
