- So the girl admits she was an idiot on all counts. -- nm - Crankyanker Mar 17, 18:55 2

    - Hardly a girl, then.. Btw, I suppose the money sum was set so high since the guy was/is rich. -- nm - Facto Mar 17, 19:56

  - i'd think the destruction of Japaneese refineries are a bigger couse than Libya's missing oil -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 18:44 2
    - Oil actually dropped a little after the quake - because Japan will have less demand for the next while. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:45 1
      - and the Yen is at an all time high -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 18:45
  - supply and demand is how oil is priced. It's a phrase. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:19 10
    - [deleted] 6
      - Yes, and I was discussing the potential effects of him trying to affect supply - Reagen Mar 17, 18:26 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        It's that she think it's a counter to what I said. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:31 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        it's maybe a little harsh about what's ultimately a redundancy. But it's the insistence that it's a counter is what I find funny. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:36
        
        [deleted]
    - Except that oil is a product where demand is more or less fixed. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:21 2
      - not necessarily so, sure we have our weekly fill ups for commuting, winter needs for heating, but industry uses a lot for making things, growing food -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 17, 18:49 1
        
        I know, it's more or less seasonal. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:53
  - the UN planes in the no fly zone of course. -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 18:14 1
    - [deleted]
  - Yep. never entered my mind that was what he was talking about, since that's not really possible. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:13
- Huh? You've been missreading yet again. I never said anything about Demand. That's all you. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:11 12
  - *sigh* OK. Econ 101. - Reagen Mar 17, 18:21 11
    - [deleted] 2
      - where do you see me doing that? My entire argument is based upon demand remaining fixed. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:29 1
        
        [deleted]
    - And your point is that demand is fixed. repeatedly. you again seem to be arguing that supply has no affect on price. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:23 6
      - Huh? I explicitly said that supply affects price. Multiple times, even. - Reagen Mar 17, 18:27 5
        
        No, not really. And it is a rationale. Has been for a long time. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:32 4
        
        so tell me how Gaddafi can make oil supply issues worse than they currently are - and if he is likely to. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:34 3
        
        And it's still not about that. It's about his history in this area and whether or not he stays in power. - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:46 2
        
        but he has two options if he wins: sell or not sell. - Reagen Mar 17, 18:52 1
        
        Been there read it. -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:58
    - China. Town. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 17, 18:23
- oh, that ain't nice. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 18:09 4
  - "I wasn't talking about supply and demand I was talking about supply and price!" That's just... wow. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:09 3
    - dragging it on to this board is definitely the best way to handle it. - loosilu Mar 17, 18:13
    - Huh? It was. The whole time. please show me where I used the term S&D? -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:12 1
      - supply and demand = price. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:32
"Daddy *okay.*" -- nm - Max Mar 17, 18:00
In more terrible, mind-boggling casting news: Shia LeBeouf has been cast in the lead of the Joe Hill horror novel: Horns (per AICN) -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 17:58 14
- This news made me want to violate someone with an infected dildo. -- nm - David Mar 17, 18:26 2
  - why do you have one of those? -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:43 1
    - I keep it in a case that says, "Break in case of insipid casting." - David Mar 17, 18:45
- yeah, I can kind of see that. I hate him, but I can see it. not the worst casting ever. -- nm - six degrees of amanda jones Mar 17, 18:07 1
  - Yeah Joe Gordon Levitt may have been too heavy - Epiphany Mar 17, 19:43
- That's not that terrible -- nm - J Mar 17, 18:06
- I was very briefly confused and thought you were talking about Heart Shaped Box. Which would be pretty damn serious miscasting. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 17, 18:00 4
  - I did the same thing -- nm - prayformojo Mar 17, 18:05 3
    - They'd have to seriously Benjamin Button him. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 17, 18:10 2
      - In addition to Hulking him. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 18:10 1
        
        Though he's almost the right age for one of the chicks. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 17, 18:11
- who got it from Variety -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 17:59 2
  - Dmac? -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 18:05 1
    - figured I`d save the trouble of someone poitning that out and do it myself. -- nm - Beaker Mar 17, 18:08
Mel Gibson turned himself into police, Bullock donates 1 mil to Japan relief, MTV 120 Minutes returns w/Pinfield hosting -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 17:57 7

- it's not a Remlik news update until a wrestler died. -- nm - loosilu Mar 17, 17:58 5
  - Do any of those have anything to do with comics? ;) -- nm - the liioulu with lots less Mar 17, 18:00
