LYC: I actually saw someone using one of those iPhone "card scanner" type apps that stores all your loyalty cards - oblique Mar 9, 12:47 2

Bery, did you see this RE: your home phone? -- (link) - oblique Mar 9, 12:41 3

  - He is. - Spawn Mar 9, 12:39
- It really sounds like yours is just pretending to be a Five Guys. - Spawn Mar 9, 12:37 3
  - I feel like someone who is always recommending that people cook with black truffle oil might just not be the market for five guys. you know? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:38 2
    - truffle is one of the most faked food in the world - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:40 1
      - I don't cook so I have no idea. my mushrrom of choice is the morel. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:44

- You must either have a very rogue Five Guys or you are insane. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 12:37 1
  - They do franchise, according to their site... -- nm - con_carne Mar 9, 12:44
- sounds like Five Guys is starting to shoot themselves in their feet by hiring shitbag staff -- nm - Jovian Mar 9, 12:37 1
  - It's one of the costs of growth, honestly... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:38

What women's size 8 used to look like. -- (link) - mara Mar 9, 12:22 [youtube] 31
- Not sure how well known this is, but dress sizes were changed sometime in the 70s, I think. An old size 8 is a modern size 4, I think. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:25 30
  - I know. That's my point. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:25 29
    - I thought sizes got bigger. an old 8 is now a 4. vanity sizing. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:27 26
      - if so, that happened much later. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:29 10
        
        I said exactly what you said. how am I wrong??? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:29 9
        
        because what I said means all of your numbers go up, not down. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:30 8
        
        wait, we did say the same thing. I'm confused. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:30 7
        
        i quite enjoyed this little subthread. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:31
        
        all we need to know is amanda is not as fat now as she would have been in the 70s -- nm - moles Mar 9, 12:31 5
        
        right. I am not as fat numberwise. like that skirt I wore three weeks ago that was a size 13 and that was purchasd (mumbles) years ago and still fits? - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:33 4
        
        i get this, i lost a bit of weight and now wear the same number i wore in high school. am *I* the same size as i was in high school? - Andie Mar 9, 13:07
        
        skinny is relative -- nm - Epiphany Mar 9, 12:37
        
        I used to be a size 10, gained weight and became a size 8. I've also found there's a price difference. The more expensive the clothes, the smaller the - mara Mar 9, 12:35 1
        
        a woman in my business unit told us she wants to get down to "a size 6" -- it makes me laugh. *which* size 6?? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:37
      - I thought I would just type exactly what was said. you know. for typing practice! -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:28 14
        
        anyway, what I'm saying was not a vanity thing at all. If you were a size 8 in 1960, you're a 4 now. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:29 13
        
        I think it is a vanity thing, myself. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:31 12
        
        now that I think aobut it, I agree. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:31 11
        
        this thread is ridiculous. I need a drink. someone offer to walk me home via zeno's, stat. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:34 10
        
        I love this thread...none of you even know what you're saying...but you really mean that shit. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 12:35 9
        
        I'm sure there's an equivalent Pujols thread around somwhere -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 12:38
        
        just get the post out onto the internet first. there's time to think it out later. - TFox Mar 9, 12:38
        
        I'm pretty sure I know what I'm saying. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:36 5
        
        I know what I'm saying too. we're all saying the same thing. right? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:37 4
        
        I know what *I'm* saying. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:38 3
        
        I know what I'm saying. - Spawn Mar 9, 12:40
        
        ....liar. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:39 1
        
        thanks a lot! -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:41
        
        I'm saying I'm not as fat on paper as I used to be, but I'm just as fat in real life. how can you not see that? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 9, 12:36
    - Got it. From the text with the video, I am not sure they know. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 12:26 1
      - Oh, no, I don't think so either. Nor did the blog I was reading that linked to it. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:29

- It's been lamented that my industry is non-unionized, but if it did go union, it would die. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:23 2
  - cause? . . . - moles Mar 9, 12:24 1
    - No, the added paperwork and super-magnified bureaucracy would lead to a field bereft of those with enthusiasm. - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:26
- Not really. (I was kidding.) -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:22
- nope -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:22 1

i couldn't care less about the nationalities of players on pro teams. it's a global marketplace of players and pro teams aren't national entities... - x Mar 9, 12:20 7
- Yeah, I only care about the nationalities when it's a national-team game. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:25 1
  - Barca :) - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:30
- it does have an effect in the national league it also make the work of the national team coach harder - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:21 3
  - oh, absolutely. but that's just life in the modern world, i think....nm - x Mar 9, 12:24 2
    - sure in the long run i am sure it benefits the national team too as seen in the European championship of 1992 - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 12:30 1
      - totally. i never watch american pro soccer + i'd much rather have our good players play where the overall quality is better.... - x Mar 9, 12:37

    - Prospects, the name of his strip club and what he (imagined to have) had in Vegas. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 12:19 6
      - Oh, it's so much more complicated than that...all we need to know is Guy's granola bars ruined everything. -- nm - Amy Mar 9, 12:32 1
        
        Well, I figured Guy knew most of that part. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 12:33
      - Theres a strip club for sale in my neighborhood. I think he should buy it and fulfill his dream. -- nm - Guy Mar 9, 12:24 2
