have we seen this? cats quote charlie sheen. -- (link) - amanda "blue looper" jones Feb 27, 10:39 2
- Mara posted it the other day. I'm not sure if cats are the way to go. They have the self-righteous indigence but are far too wise for Sheen. -- nm - Qale Feb 27, 10:41 1
  - Yes, but without cats, you can't say, "That pu$$y is cray-zee!" -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 10:42
I feel badly, but this friend of mine who's essentially lied about his entire life recently had a stroke. He's okay. But he's gone... kind of crazy. - Qale Feb 27, 10:37 1
- Very sad, does he have family support? -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 27, 10:42
Tunisian PM Mohammed Ghannouchi resigns over protests -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Feb 27, 10:21 3
- it's kind of cool/good how lame the Tunisian figures are, stepping down after mere days. now Mubarak and Gaddafi... they're real dictators -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 27, 10:42
- It would be funnier if his first name was Babba. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 10:24 1
  - I wonder if that was his college nickname. -- nm - amanda "blue looper" jones Feb 27, 10:27
Ugh, Dear Netflix Streaming on the PS3, your new design...DO.NOT.WANT. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 27, 10:01 4

- I can access Netflix four different ways, and I don't like it on any of them. -- nm - nubby Feb 27, 10:12 2
  - PC, XBOX, iPad, iPod Touch - psilotum Feb 27, 10:30

- That's hysterical. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 09:54
This morning I was woken up by Connor, sitting on my chest, informing me that I had a booooga in my nose. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 27, 09:26 1
- Only your best friend will tell you things like this. -- nm - OAE Feb 27, 10:34
Castiel in an NCIS episode. It's funny trying to see him talk with somecadence. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 27, 09:25 1

- Well, he'll make some of the other candidates look more centrist. - Strongbad Feb 27, 10:06 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - He'll have a lot of good platform ideas - Strongbad Feb 27, 10:17
- [deleted] 5
  - Or...he sucks up the oxygen (and money) in the room. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 27, 10:43
  - I like that Republicans are in a position where such a candidate could be useful -- nm - con_carne Feb 27, 10:25 1
    - Honestly wouldn't read too much into it. Any race in any party can always use their opponents wasting time on non-factors. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 27, 10:35
  - and make others look more reasonable. -- nm - psilotum Feb 27, 10:04
  - Kinda like a "rabbit" in a mile race -- nm - amoxy Feb 27, 10:03

- Just downloaded The Confession. - kelly Feb 27, 07:43
- Wow, you'd choose the editing of hThe Fighter over 127 Hours and The Social Network? -- nm - Buzz Feb 27, 06:43 3
  - Inception is the Best Edited film of the year, but I think a big reason The Fighter rises above the conventional screenplay is the filmmaking. -- nm - Dano Feb 27, 06:54 2
    - I liked the Fighter too (better than TSN but less so than 127 Hours). But I didn't see much in terms of its editing. - Buzz Feb 27, 07:23 1
      - nvm, I just saw it below. -- nm - Buzz Feb 27, 07:25

Charlie Sheen interview to air on 20/20 Tuesday night -- (link) - Beaker Feb 27, 04:33 11

  - are you kidding? THey're praying for that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 07:42

      - Hmm, do you think he has a ticket? Would make for a great red-carpet moment. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 27, 08:01 4
        
        I would be willing to bet he's been specifically banned. The Academy has no sense of humor. -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 08:24 1
        
        Apparently The Academy won't even let ABC show commercials for their Sheen interview during the Oscars. -- (link) - Dano Feb 27, 08:38

- So, after sleeping on it, I came to a decision. - nubby Feb 27, 05:21 2
  - This is why we didn't have my dad officiate our wedding. - psilotum Feb 27, 10:05
  - I think that's totally understandable. -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 27, 09:23
- Holding. Ten yards. Repeat first down. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 23:08

Hey loosilu, why do you think the CDC says that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US yet the source they cite doesn't say that. - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 26, 20:51 5
- Checking your link ... the top ten list says it is for "Invasive" cancers. Maybe skin cancers are mostly non-invasive? -- nm - loosilu Feb 27, 05:33 1
  - AHA! there's a note that it excludes basal and squamous cell carcinomas. - loosilu Feb 27, 05:36
- because one kills before you know you have it and the other commontype you can have for 20_30 years before its an issue -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 26, 21:20 2
  - Hmm, I think your logic may be correct. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 26, 21:26 1
