OH - I found the PB Snickers - kind of underwhelming, to be truthful - Reagen Mar 10, 13:14 2
- i wish i could let you all try the local pure unhomogenized PB I bought. it. is. amazing. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 13:17
- I think of them more as a snack than a candy bar. Each square is 125 calories. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 13:17
Repost: American Idol Pick 'em group at the same site we did the Oscar pick 'em. Have to make your picks by 8 PM Eastern today. -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 10, 13:12 1
- And it's not really a Pick Em. You get 20 confidence points and put them towards who will be voted off. - JaxSean Mar 10, 13:15
Way to ruin the potential Pixar quote thread, Jim. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:09 2
- I have to be honest...and I hope this doesn't jeopardize my standing as a Prophet.... - Jim Mar 10, 13:12 1
  - Kitty! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:12
I started Dead Space 2 the other day. 10 minutes in and the game is already freaking me out. - sycor Mar 10, 13:08 2
- I was surprised by how long the player goes without a weapon. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:09 1
  - yeah I just got my pistol. Seemed to take forever. -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:11
You know what I don't like? The bottom of the nacho chip bag. Nothing but shards Can't even get a good scoop of salsa going. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 10, 13:08 1
- Sometimes I just dump it all out, when it's small pieces, into a small bowl of salsa and mix it up. Then eat it with a spoon. -- nm - mara Mar 10, 13:11
That said, ST Poll: Is it even ethical to allow parents to gender select? (The implantation way of course.) What say you? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:07 7
- Gattaca! -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:17
- no. the aunts & uncles should pick :) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 10, 13:16
- i don't see any problem at all - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:15
- I think it's ethical, but I also think it's a sign of immature parenting. -- nm - landbeck Mar 10, 13:11 1
  - Then it's settled. First we institute parental licensing requirements, and *then* we allow for gender selection. :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:12
- I think that's a stepping stone toward Eugenics, and we all know how that ends. - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:10
- ethical? sure. far too much effort for minimal benefit? you bet. -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 13:09

    - Olivia Wilde -- nm - MDH Mar 10, 13:09 3
      - ah. yeah I can agree with this. I'd watch her in just about anything. -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:10 2
        
        and also in just about nothing! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:11 1
        
        the only reason to watch Alpha Dog. - sycor Mar 10, 13:13

- We had to tell M's stepmom with ours because it's impossible to not drink at her dad's place - Reagen Mar 10, 13:12 6
  - We've had friends outed like this in our circle. Mrs. NWBR and I are already practicing routines to try and cover until at least twelve weeks. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:17
  - that's how i knew a good friend was. we all went out for dinner, ordered a bottle of red and she said 'i'll have mineral water.' - Andie Mar 10, 13:17 3
    - I always said, "since we're trying I just don't want to risk it.." -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 13:19
    - what we learned: coke and grenadine looks just like red wine. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:18 1
      - *makes a note* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:18
  - ugh. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 13:14
- shoot them all - znufrii Mar 10, 13:09
- Seriously, where are the hidden cameras in your office and when is the reality show going to air? -- nm - amoxy Mar 10, 13:09
- it's such a hard situation to handle though because really before month 3 or 4 it's touch and go. so like - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:09 2
  - I only heard from M that she's beginning to show. In all honesty I haven't noticed because I'm not in the habit of looking at PW's body. - Diva Mar 10, 13:13
  - just randomly set off chemical fire extinguishers every few months and see who pipes up -- nm - moles Mar 10, 13:10
- ah, who gives a rat's ass. She should have never told the first person. No one to blame but herself -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 13:09 2
  - actually, person number 1 should not have asked. she just had the decency to not lie about something which will come out later. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 13:12 1
    - just say it's none of your business. but, yeah, first person to ask is an idiot -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 13:36
- Ugh. I had to tell everyone in my office because we had a chemical fire extiguisher go off and I had to ask if it would harm anything. Then, - Amy Mar 10, 13:08 2
  - :( -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 13:10 1
    - Logan got outed because I had to ask if the feta cheese on a pizza was imported. If I ever get pg again, I'm just telling everyone the day I know. -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 13:12
- diva's show is like The Office but with 2000% more boot-knockin -- nm - moles Mar 10, 13:07 2
  - And the reason M and Pregnant Lady don't like each other very much has to do with boot-knockin'. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 13:08 1
    - effin schlow bags -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 13:09
- sounds typical of a work place. smack everyone but pregnant lady. -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:06

oh, huh, I missed an "exclusive" pre-sale for Mets tickets starting at 10am this morning. - znufrii Mar 10, 12:57 1
- The over/under on how many they've sold is 12. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:00
Craig Ferguson on Kevin Pollak Chat Show was an epic story about how Kurt Russell convinced him to learn how to pilot a plane. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 10, 12:55 3

LIR: ST will have a field day with this: "Toys Get Tarted Up" (I had to re-post for the Trollz toys) -- (link) - MDH Mar 10, 12:54 7
- i was born to early, all we had was a wooden stick, some string and a dead fish -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 12:59
- Does that horse have cleavage? -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:58 2

    - I have headphones on. I can't hear it! -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 13:01

  - The horse has heels and a purse. -- nm - MDH Mar 10, 12:56 1
    - So not a mudder, then. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 12:56

- why? it's not like we are getting paid for it :) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 10, 12:57
- Think -- nm - IBM Mar 10, 12:56
- Ohhh, think *THEN* post .... wait. Isn't it the other way around? - Steve Martin si Mar 10, 12:54
- don't you think I try? -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:54 62
  - FWIW, I think you do. You flubbed, but acknowledged it. - musubi Mar 10, 12:58 12
    - Well, this time, as in many, the pile on was what got her to realize it. - Spawn Mar 10, 13:07
    - I think she knew. she even said she was trying not inflame. so like, why post and take a chance? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:58 10
      - I know how you feel about loosi. It's very clear in the way you post to each other. - musubi Mar 10, 13:00 9
        
        well yeah. but I would feel the same way about anyone who was disingenous in their posts - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:02 8
        
        Silly amanda, ST rushes to defend loosi but ignores when she is on the offensive. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:09 7
        
        This is utter BS. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:14 1
        
        Maybe you just miss it. - Spawn Mar 10, 13:16
        
        pretty much no one is defending her here. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:13 3
        
        moose? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:15 2
        
        I've defended no one. I've said *both* sides need to drop it. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:18
        
        even if you count Hawaiians, that's a pretty weak standard for defence - Reagen Mar 10, 13:17
        
        don't I know. I just want parity. and if parity is we have separate sides of the playground, ok. - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:11
  - "Oh, an abortion quip about his sister. That will be the remark to win the day." - Reagen Mar 10, 12:56 6
    - Max is right. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:56
    - you're asking a blind man to copy edit. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:56 4
      - Let's just go back in time to "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" Like, if you, who admit you can't tell, think there might - Amy Mar 10, 13:01 1
        
        yeah, true. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 13:01
      - Then find out what the equivalent of accessibility option are. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 12:58 1
        
        I need something. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 13:01
  - Honestly...all it takes is to finish your post, then read it. Chances are, you'll catch these before hitting "Post This Message. -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 12:55 28
    - Does anyone *REALLY* think she was advocating abortion as a valid method? - musubi Mar 10, 12:59 13
      - Actually, I didn't think she was advocating abortion at all. It felt like a shot at Dawson to me. - Jim Mar 10, 13:00 12
        
        I interpreted it as a quip. A wildly inappropriate one, but a quip nonetheless. - Reagen Mar 10, 13:03 5
        
        I would add... "You know there are a handful of people with extremely low tolerances for your posting, so pick your spot." - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:06 4
        
        Indeed. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:20
        
        This is very solid. Posting that to Reagen, musubi, Andie, etc...probably not that big of a deal. - Jim Mar 10, 13:13
        
        this too. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 13:07
        
        also sound advice. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:07
        
        Exactly. If she had just posted the word on it's own, it would not have came across so bad. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:02 5
        
        With all due respect, it doesn't read that way to someone who isn't looking for it. - musubi Mar 10, 13:03 4
        
        And your IM says it all. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:11 3
        
        Yes. She stuck her foot in her mouth. She apologized. Let. It. Go. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:15 2
        
        Then why are you still saying, "It didn't read that way."? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 13:17 1
        
        Because it didn't to me, and I'm not picking sides. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:21
    - *ponders* actually, I wonder if she just hits "enter", like I do? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:56 12
      - As evidenced by both spelling and content, I sure don't. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:01
      - maybe you need a popup confirmation box for some people. "Are you sure you want to post this?" -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 12:57 9
        
        note: this was not a poke at loosi specifically. there are few people that need it. - sycor Mar 10, 12:58 7
        
        *shifts uncomfortably* -- nm - con_carne Mar 10, 13:01
        
        Again, *one million* words. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:59 5
        
        "Are you sure you want to post this now, or do you have another paragraph in you?" -- nm - box Mar 10, 13:00
        
        you can still make. just use different words. -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:00 3
        
        What's the url for thesaurus.com? -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:01 2
        
        It says on the inside label of the Best Analogy Ever T-shirt -- nm - prayformojo Mar 10, 13:04
        
        why are you looking up dinosaurs? -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:03
        
        honesetly, it would help. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:58
      - This is your house. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:57
    - I do, and it doesn't. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:56
  - Loosi, since wiggie is unavailable for comment, let me say on her behalf -- politely but firmly -- that you messed up there. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:55 11
    - I did mess up. Jack, I'm sorry. please folks, I know what a fucking moron I am. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:56 10
      - And seriously...stop with the "I'm a moron" "I'm stupid" posts. Everyone here, including you, know that not to be the case. -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 12:57 4
        
        considering how often I put my foot in it, I think I am. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:57 3
        
        i'm late and not trying to rile but one quick helpful observation: - TFox Mar 10, 13:16
        
        boneheaded, maybe, but stupid or a moron? no way! :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 12:58 1
        
        whatever word you want. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 13:02
      - Cool. Let's all drop it and start some sort of massive Pixar quote thread to ease the tension. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:56 4
        
        You are a sad strange little man. -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 12:58 3
        
        I am hiding under your porch because I love you. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:58 2
        
        Wait a minute...was my post a quote? Who knew? nm - Jim Mar 10, 12:59 1
        
        Up yours, Lotso. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:00
  - Do you want a serious answer? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:55
- I'll never get to a million that way. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:53 2
