While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the Ignorant Tightass Club, in this building.... - prayformojo Mar 10, 14:10 1
- I love the way he says "chapter and verse". -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:12
fascinating...the Awkward Embraces web series reached thier goal of $10,000 in donations to fund the 2nd season.... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 10, 14:10

- Here's a cool video. -- (link) - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 10, 14:20 [youtube]
- I actually found one with Blu Ray from HP for $869, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:10 4
  - Wait, that's a touchpad. That is a great deal. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:15 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - That was my assumption, but I'm wrong. - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:19
      - no.. its the mouse touchpad -- nm - stewie Mar 10, 14:17
- Sounds like the beginning of a dirty joke. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:10
I hate it when an unfortunate hockey injury becomes a national story in the US - Guy Mar 10, 14:00 14
- ML - regarding your BB question. An interference penalty was assessed because the player being hit no longer had the puck. - Guy Mar 10, 14:11
- kinda. But there's no penalty box for fighting in football. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 14:02 12
  - There isn't a penalty box "for fighting" in ice hockey either. There is a penalty box for penalties of many sorts. - Guy Mar 10, 14:07 8
    - Like fighting. - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 14:10 7
      - The key difference is how frequent the fights occur. - Guy Mar 10, 14:19 1
        
        aka Lacrosse. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 14:20
      - In football, it alters your team's position on the field (I think). Different sport, different penalties. - Guy Mar 10, 14:15 4
        
        In football, being a man up or down earns a penalty. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:16
        
        I like the idea of forcing a team to play a man down for 1,2, or 3 plays in lieu of yardage penalties. -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 14:16 2
        
        That would be a disaster. Nearly every penalty would result in a huge play or score. - Guy Mar 10, 14:20 1
        
        what better incentive not to get a penalty? - znufrii Mar 10, 14:22
  - On the other hand they have cracked down on similar hits. - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:05 1
    - That would be football. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:09
  - oh, but if there was. glorious. - TFox Mar 10, 14:03
Rant: I am thinking there is a government department who's sole job is to come up with funny and amusing acronyms for their programs and services.... - Walt_Disney Mar 10, 13:58 1
- Ridiculous Acronym Naming Team? -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:00
~Wouldn't you agree/baby you and me/we got a groovy kind of love~ - Reagen Mar 10, 13:56 11
- The tune is totally ripped off from Haydn I believe. -- nm - LMS Mar 10, 14:00
- I've seen Phil Collins in concert three times. I should be allowed to rip his eye out and eat it. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 13:58 9
  - Either you are a huge fan or did it for a girl -- nm - amoxy Mar 10, 14:10 6
    - I'm writing a tell all confessional entitled So I'm Married the World's Only Phil Collins Superfan. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:11 5
      - I am not a fan but his stuff is not offensive to me - amoxy Mar 10, 14:14 1
        
        That's mostly what's wrong with him. He's inoffensively just there. - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:19
      - actually, if you add the Rick Springfield thing in, we're up to a Silver Star. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 14:12 1
        
        I know I've mentioned this before... - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:17
      - (Kim is a closet fan but she knows to hide it around me.) -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 14:12
  - fool me once..... -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 14:07
  - There should be musical Purple Hearts. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 14:00
Not looking good for the Rebellion... -- (link) - Mel Profit Mar 10, 13:55 10
- about time there is a no fly zone down there -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 14:19
- [deleted] 8
  - we're also seeing what happens when a "well regulated" militia comes up against even a decrepit modern military. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:18 1
    - AKA well paid mercenaries. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 14:19
  - If that is true, how bad do you think Ghadaffi is going to punish the rebel leaders - amoxy Mar 10, 14:11 3
    - do camels eat human flesh? -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 14:19
    - There are no rebel leaders, that is a complete fiction created by your Western political elites to undermine my rule -- nm - ?Ghadaffi Mar 10, 14:15
    - they can't lose. better to die fighting. :( -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 14:15
  - is going to be lonely in libya then -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 14:09
  - OTOH, they've been wrong about everything else so far. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:58
more fun for the weekend! my sister is flying into pittsburgh, which is like 2.5 hours away, tomorrow at 6:30pm. *today,* her ride bailed on her. - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:50 9
- I'm willing to go out of my way to assist people but I hate when people act as if you are obligated to do so. - Max Mar 10, 14:00
- 2.5 hours? I have to visit Pittsburgh on occassion and was wondering how far it was to Zenos -- nm - JD Mar 10, 13:55 7
  - We should have an ST zenostravaganza! - znufrii Mar 10, 13:58 6
    - Amanda's descriptions almost make it seem worth it, don't they? -- nm - JD Mar 10, 13:59 5
      - Zenos is in fact so awesome that I'm going twice today. (it's just a neighborhood bar. The allure might be lost on outsiders.) nm - miss amanda phones Mar 10, 14:18
      - we should all have our own zeno's. bars fit like old sweaters. they never translate quite right to other people. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 14:01 3
        
        seldom washed and often ugly -- nm - con_carne Mar 10, 14:06 1
        
        smeel weird, with suspicious holes in them... -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 14:09
        
        true -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 14:01

Just days after I post how much grosses have dropped: American Idiot to close on Broadway April 24 -- (link) - MDH Mar 10, 13:48
It's a stretch, but not 100% completely unforgivable, to call Phil Collins a classic rock star, right? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 10, 13:37 17
- he is. -- nm - Remlik Mar 10, 13:53
- after he left Genesis he became Barry Manilow minus the talet. -- nm - Bacon on a droid Mar 10, 13:48 1
  - ohh he has talent and has proven it it's was just no my style - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:52
- Indeed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 13:43
- sure and I don't get why people are bagging on him. Dude was solid for a number of years. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 13:41 9
  - a) overexposure b) the ballad years suuuucked. - Reagen Mar 10, 13:43 8
    - but that doesn't negate what he did nor require everyone to hammer him. - Mel Profit Mar 10, 13:50 2
      - well he took a hammering from the Oasis guys in the 90's...conversely the rap guys of the late 90's loved Collins -- nm - Remlik Mar 10, 14:07
      - Damn straight. Now, everyone please remember me strictly for Wall St. and Platoon. -- nm - C.Sheen Mar 10, 14:05
    - the solo years then - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:45 1
      - yeah, this is it. - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 13:47
    - It happened to Sting too. When you gain full control with no other competing band members there's no pushback to keep you sharp. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 13:45 2
      - Sting had me until Ten Summoner's Tales. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:46 1
        
        It would probably not shock you at all then, that TST is the one Sting CD I own. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 14:09
- the Phill of Genesis (and earlier) or the solo Phil? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:40
- sure he is. no question -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:40
- Good enough for the "Classic Rock" stations. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 13:39
This just in: The Prophets are now hiring. Position just opened up -- nm - prayformojo Mar 10, 13:37 1
- NO NEW....ah nevermind. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:48
speaking of the wire, Maurice Levy, the jewish defense attorney, is modeled on Billy Murphy, a legendary african-american attorney in Baltimore -- (link) - moles Mar 10, 13:36 2
- Huh. The name is very familiar. Not sure if I've read of him before, or saw a show, or what. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 14:00 1
  - ironically, he played the judge at Clay Davis's corruption trial - moles Mar 10, 14:17
Canadians should find this funny... New Angus Reid poll out today. Had the "Pick words to decribe the leader" question. The top results for each: - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:33 32
- Any chance we don't end up with another minority gov't? -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 10, 13:53 3
  - I would say there's a strong chance. It's shaping up as a defining election pitting Harper against Ignatieff. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 14:00
  - maybe 20% chance. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:56 1
    - Much better than that with the Tories consistently polling close to 40% already. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 14:01
- Crap. Bumped Enter.... Results again (along with punchline)... - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:38 17
  - The Liberals are sort of in the same position as the GOP - Harper should be easy pickings but they don't have anyone to do it. - Reagen Mar 10, 13:40 10
    - The Liberal decline began long before Ignatieff, Dion or even Martin. It really is starting to appear like a party in its death throes. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:45 7
      - The NDP pretty much represents what I believe in, but I can't vote for a party that seems completely incompetent to me - Guigue Mar 10, 13:47
      - I'd consider maybe possibly voting for that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:47
      - You could have said the same thing about the PC's once upon a time - Reagen Mar 10, 13:47 4
        
        I was a PC. I attended their last leadership. I saw it within during the late 90s and early 00s. It died. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:52 2
        
        Yes, but look at who was running things on both sides of that divide - Reagen Mar 10, 13:55 1
        
        It's also cultural. The insides of the parties do not reflect the old PC party. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 14:04
        
        "I love that word re-foooooooooorm!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:48
    - yup. And it's starting to seem like their farm team process is slipshod. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:41
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:40
  - He didn't come back for you -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:39
  - Layton sounds like Carter. Harper sounds like Bush Senior. I can't even think of an equivalent for Ignatieff. Nixon? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:39 4
    - Kerry. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:40 3
      - winner winner chicken dinner -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:41
      - exactly. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:40 1
        
        And Dion was Kucinich. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:44
- Oh, this gave me a great idea for one of those "YES/NO" parked domains, but I don't have the energy to implement it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:37
- "Now would you vote for Jack Leyton?" "No way!!" -- nm - Guigue Mar 10, 13:35 5
  - Gilles Duceppe would probably make a pretty good PM if it weren't for the whole "Splitting up the country" agenda. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:38 3
    - I think hes the best speakers during election debates and wishes that he was not a seperatist. -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 10, 14:02
    - I don't buy it. He's flakey and hasn't shown much vision or leadership. I also think he gets the "No Real Power" good vibes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:46 1
      - I do agree that he never has to back anything up. - Reagen Mar 10, 13:50
  - heh, so true -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:36
- mmm Angus - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:35
- "Mustachioed" -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:35
- no one said fearless? or Ignatieff? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:34
"Why are you looking up dinosaurs?" made me laugh way too much. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:25 1
- I'm glad someone enjoyed it. :) -- nm - sycor Mar 10, 13:29
I just got back from a holiday in England. - Loyola Mar 10, 13:24 8
- Travel exchange. In return, Ireland gets the Queen. - Mop (209 lbs) Mar 10, 13:26 1
  - "Eye for an Eye" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:28
- oh, that explains where the wit went -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:24 5
  - I have to tell you this, how about this for meanness; - Loyola Mar 10, 13:29 4
    - Bloody 'ell. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 10, 14:14
    - Was that about half a tank? Where did you visit? -- nm - LMS Mar 10, 13:58
    - that pretty much sums it all up -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 13:37
    - Probably gets a kickback from the charity. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:31
sitwap: Charlie Sheen launches $100 million lawsuit against Chuck Lorre and WB -- (link) - Beaker Mar 10, 13:23 3
- they were married???? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:26 2
  - Well...it's definitely an nasty divorce. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 13:31 1
    - yes one party probably got penetrated one time too many -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 13:32
I swear I could never be Nancy (Preg Nancy) because no way am I asking if the feta is imported. it's too delicious. eat first. ask later. - amanda jones Mar 10, 13:23 4
- Coffee was the toughest thing for M - Reagen Mar 10, 13:25
- 2 days left. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 13:23 2
  - I can lose 30 pounds in two days, right? (nate asked me the other night if I losing weight. I almost made out with him. - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:27 1
    - (I could probably be happy with 20 if that's more doable.) -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 13:29
Seriously, Mets? $32 for tickets to a *Brewers* game I'll be able to find on StubHub for $10 or less the week prior? - znufrii Mar 10, 13:22 7
- they've got to make their Madoff money somewhere. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:26
- Somebody's gotta pay for Ollie's contract. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:26
- Selig made them do it. -- nm - the liioulu with less Mar 10, 13:25
- [deleted] 3
  - and that's apparently including a $4 "exclusive pre-sale" upcharge over the regular price - znufrii Mar 10, 13:42 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - What game(s)? - znufrii Mar 10, 13:50
"You are a sad, strange little man, and I pity you." -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:20 1
- Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. (nm) - musubi Mar 10, 13:23
