well, trip was unsuccessful. i will check online. - eviltom

Online, it'll be much easier for you to get 2 of the same thing, so you can keep one for yourself, and give the other one to me. Unless it's a terrier, in which case, I don't want one anyway. - Ana

i hadnt thought of the terrier, but that's a great idea!!! - eviltom

I think Ana secretly wants a (lol)kitten. - Tudor Bosman

a rare example of the chinese, japanese, and koreans cooperating on something. too bad it was on price fixing. - eviltom via Bookmarklet

"Jesse Vargas punched Titsworth the fuck out because he kissed him in the middle of a match. And while there is nothing wrong with two guys kissing, both of them should, you know, be up for it." - Dave Winer via Bookmarklet

I can understand the confusion, but you're not allowed to punch someone AFTER they've kissed you. - Will Higgins

is the ref ralphie may? - eviltom

At Bear Stearns, an investment bank that collapsed in March and has become hallmark of the global credit crisis, Alix served as chief risk officer from 2006 to 2008 and global head of credit risk management from 1996 to 2006. ---> so much for "you'll never work in this town again....." - Bryan Power via Bookmarklet

my mom used to say to us kids after we did something stupid, "well, at least you'll never do THAT again." - eviltom

It's like watching two parallel universes. - Ana

Fox News just issued their first round of exit polls (which they keep remind people to not pay too much attention to). They keep trying to spin things in a positive way, like "20% of Americans think country is on right track", but I actually think that reads more depressingly than if they just worded it the other way around. - Ana

no twitter.com/election? - eviltom

fox news is fair and balanced. - eviltom

bloomberg! me too. - eviltom

:D - AJ Batac

but if you leave the lid on for too long, when your friend opens the pringles they might end up with a different sort of surprise... - bob

:( - Georgia Diehl

what program are you using to view twitter like this? - Dan

Dan, that's gmail chat :) - Bec Rowe

Good thing Jim and I already registered by mail back during the primary season. ACORN registered that dude behind us. - Ana

It's humor, Brian. - Paul Buchheit

And also, Brian, even if they stayed abroad, they'd still be US citizens and thus allowed to vote in the next election. - Tudor Bosman

Just put a sign that says "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" - Dan Hsiao

I tried that once, didn't work so well for me either. need me to get anything for tonight? - Rachel Lea Fox

Take small, round, brain-sized watermelon and cut off bottom so it will sit well. Use potato peeler to take off green layer of skin. After drawing convolutions and twists on white layer of fruit use tool to dig channels down to red fruit layer: Voila the brain. - Michael Muller

Gmail has very recently made changes to Contacts List, check your "Suggested Contacts" - Majento

No this is on Google Talk, not chat within Gmail (which I'm never signed in to). Also, these are two people I probably chat with most often, so they shouldn't be getting bumped regardless. I think this happened last Thursday or Friday. It wasn't just that it was showing myself or my friends as offline, but rather, we weren't showing up as even having chat enabled. - Ana

this is totally weird and bad! i blame the PMM who used to work on this product!!! - eviltom

We’ve all been there. You come in to the office early. You scan the huge list of pending items to complete today. There’s no way you’ll be able to deliver them all on time. You say to yourself “Let me read some blogs or see what people are doing in Facebook. I’m sure I’ll get some ideas or relax to take on the monster pile.” Your co-worker taps you on the shoulder. “Wanna do lunch?” Where did your morning go? - Jorge Escobar via Bookmarklet

i'll read this article later - eviltom

@eviltom: Me too! - CJ Millisock

bookmarked ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

Three-peat: "After a spirited, emotional and at times raucous debate, the New York City Council voted, 29 to 22, on Thursday afternoon to extend term limits, allowing Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg to seek re-election next year and undoing the result of two voter referendums that had imposed a limit of two four-year terms." - Ana via Bookmarklet

Nah, it's too late for W. to push through a repeal of the 22nd amendment. He'll just have to suspend elections indefinitely. - Kevin Fox

John Oliver: Bush knows it's too late to be the best president of the U.S. John Stewart: So he's going to try for the worst president? John Oliver: No John, the last president. - Chris White

"Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have shown that simply peeling ordinary sticky tape in a vacuum can generate enough X-rays to take an image — of one of the scientists' own fingers. "At some point we were a little bit scared," says Juan Escobar, a member of the research team. But he and his co-workers soon realized that the X-rays were only emitted when the kit was used in a vacuum...This kind of energy release — known as triboluminescence and seen in the form of light — occurs whenever a solid (often a crystal) is crushed, rubbed or scratched. It is a long-known, if somewhat mysterious, phenomenon, seen by Francis Bacon in 1605. He noticed that scratching a lump of sugar caused it to give off light. The leading explanation posits that when a crystal is crushed or split, the process separates opposite charges. When these charges are neutralized, they release a burst of energy in the form of light." - April Buchheit via Bookmarklet

brilliant! - eviltom

Awww. I feel bad for the horsie. - Sudhakar "Thaths" Chandra

"I was in this game for the money. The low hanging fruit, i.e. idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale, and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking. These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government. All of this behavior supporting the Aristocracy, only ended up making it easier for me to find people stupid enough to take the other side of my trades. God bless America." - Paul Buchheit

"... legislation was repeatedly brought forth to Congress over the past eight years, which would have reigned in the predatory lending practices of now mostly defunct institutions. These institutions regularly filled the coffers of both parties in return for voting down all of this legislation designed to protect the common citizen. This is an outrage, yet no one seems to know or care about it." - Shakeel Mahate

This is fiction, right? The treatment for "Harold and Kumar Manage a Hedge Fund?" - Karim

For times when you need a place to get away from all the news of the impending economic collapse (or, you want to make some lip-synching videos), this place is renting out for *only* $15k/week... - Ana via Bookmarklet

Is Steve Nash there? - Casey Muller

I am part time SCU MBA student there. My classmates also get surprised whenever I am browsing FriendFeed to discover content. Not to mention, most of my co-workers don't even use Reader or any other RSS reader. The Idea of going to individual websites to discover content just sounds crazy to me! - Syed F Ahmad

why DONT you use facebook? - eviltom

I am reading too quickly again. I thought she wrote Santa Claus and not Santa Clara, and was trying to figure out how this was part of a charity event... - Louis Gray

Ana, what is your team? I think we need to know. - Chris White

There's nothing wrong with the Browns trouncing the Giants :P. The Browns were the "trendy" pick this year. Which is why they have so many prime time games this season. It probably would have been a different story had it not been for all of those interceptions. - Benjamin Golub

D'oh. I will comment on this just so you know your friends are alive :) - Bret Taylor
