If they all have to be custom made, it can get quite expensive. That said, that's outrageous.

Most of my windows are bare. If my neighbors want top watch my fat ass change shirts, more power to them.

It sounds like I'd either go without blinds or find another contractor

SI

Nothing like coming to work on a Saturday with a ton of work to do only to have your computer taken over by a virus.

Watching Moneyball right now. I'm not going to say someone doesn't know comedy or doesn't have a sense of humor for not laughing at what I laugh at. But, if when Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) is leaving the room behind Billy (Brad Pitt) after letting Giambi go, you don't LMAO every time when he asks Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman) "do you want this door closed?", then we probably won't agree much on what is or is not funny.

If they were custom, that really isn't a shocking figure if it's a decent-sized house.

edit to add: It's a ridiculous amount that I can't imagine I'd ever be willing to pay, but that's why I don't have custom blinds either.

Funny story at about 3:05 where Jalen starts talking about not wanting to invest 15k into blinds so he covers the windows with newspapers.

Haha! No I just pictured in my mind, "Crap! Who told him we were taking him to the vet! Now he's pissed." :)

Two years ago today I was walking on top of The Great Wall of China. Still can't believe I got to do that.

Started watching Twin Peaks yesterday (through 4 episodes so far)... am I the only person who sees Minka Kelly whenever Shelly (Madchen Amick) is on-screen?

How can a pickle have zero calories? Aside from being sweet and delicious, it's like, an object.

Move your thumb. It's obscurring the "20" in front of the "0 Calories"

Cucumbers are essentially water, so all that counts is the salt (don't think the dill would move the dial). It's probably in the 5-10 calorie range.

No way man, it says 0 for real, and a google search tells me that many others are similarly perplexed (though, I guess "0" really means "less than 5", and there is sodium so eating 500 of them would probably be bad.) Still, I feel like I could live off of pickles fairly comfortably for at least a few days.

I think you just invented a diet.

For all you IT nerds.

Isn't the "over the top" method generally considered to be the correct way to put toilet paper on the holder?

The janitorial staff at work consistently puts it on backwards.

No, I believe you're thinking of this...

iTunes 11 is garbage.

That's all i got.

Just recorded a video message for George's retirement. Kind of weird, but, kind of cool at the same time. I really hope he doesn't mind that I did it using Jar Jar's voice.

If he does mind, tell him, "Join the club."

Right-to-work in Michigan gets BBC coverage. Pro-union protesters torn down a tent the pro-RTW people had up.

I am ready for 2012 to be over. The amount of crap I have had to deal with this year. I am pretty sure my grades will drop, but at this point I do not care. I just want to graduate and start a business or something.

I think we are supposed to have a group picture taken with him today for 12/12/12, I'll ask him. :D

There are few things I enjoy more than dropping a deuce in the bathroom and knowing it was one of those "I don't even have to wipe" bombs.

Awesome.

You always have to wipe.....

Well, of course I do...just to make sure. But really, how awesome is it to see clean TP afterward?

I'll answer my own question - Very awesome.

A strawberry is not an actual berry, but a banana is. :eek:

Glad you clarified that part

And a peanut isn't a nut at all, but a bean. NoooOOOOoo! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE RED PILL.

This day is getting stranger by the minute...

I have a friend that went on a walk one evening, and decided half-way through that he had to crap so bad, he couldn't make it home.

He dropped trow on someones lawn and pitched a piping hot loaf.

True story.

To top off the year... got in a car accident on my way to an interview.

LOL. I will be in the drunk guy thread later.

I know it's not always publicized or known far in advance, but why aren't there any websites that list when movies that are in theaters are leaving the theaters??

Seems like something the studios (or the theater companies) would have an incentive to get out there...

Trying to post in the images thread and any time I hit reply I get a virus warning.

Box Office Mojo would at least help. See what the screen count of new movies is and you can make a pretty educated guess. A blockbuster will have a preset # of weeks to bring carried I think.

I mean, don't worry. Twilight will still be there a while longer.

Ooo ooo, I can top:

When I was in college, I got in an accident in a doctor's office parking lot, while trying to find a space to park so I could head in for my stress test appointment...

Been there, done that (well, not the drunk guy thread) and I can definitely sympathize.

After college, I had been bouncing around for a bit between unstable temp jobs, not really finding anything and going deeper into debt.

I was going to an interview, one of many interviews I had done for something more stable, but one of the few I thought I had a legit shot at as it was geared towards folks coming out of college and they were going to hire quite a few out of a large block of people but the odds were about 1 in 4 which is better than most things coming out of school.

Anyways, it was icy and on the exit ramp off the freeway, I couldn't get any traction and put my car onto the media, blowing out 3 tires and the suspension, which, I found out in a few days totalled the car. Also, I did not get the job. It was just a big pile of suck.

I DVR'd the Pats/Texans game on Monday, haven't gotten around to it, and still somehow have no idea who won. Being in Idaho helps. After a day or two I even started getting reckless and going onto ESPN and facebook. Still haven't heard. Not I'm just curious how long I can go with this. Sure, you'd think I'd have to find out at some point before or during the next NFL weekend, but I don't know, I think I might be able to go further. Don't be tempted to spoil it here, I won't check back into this thread until finally watch it. Jerks.

I think he's going to be disappointed to see the game was pretty much over in the 1st quarter :(

Just witnessed a lesbian flirting with a male homosexter. Mind blown ...

Haha. Nope - he'll be happy.

I'm having a second thought today, which is admittedly rare. Been reading some of the Werewolf stuff, and I think it would be the basis for a great mystery/thriller. Or has this already been done? Someone disappoint me quick, before I pounce on this and get all rich 'n famous ...

you can, of course, check the theatre website for future showtimes.

You know it says something when secretaries from other departments randomly stop by your office just to tell you that they are amazed that you've been able to stay in your department as long as you have.

My wife concurs. She just got the upgrade, and it failed to synch apps to our daughter's iPod last night, and right now she cannot get it to recognize her iPhone. Plus everything is rearranged so she can't find anything.

Apple is the king of user experience my butt...

When I was a kid, I went to the circus to see the Fat Lady and the Tattooed man. Now, they are everywhere.

Was thinking more long-term like "How many more weeks do i have to see Flight before it's out of theaters? Should I prioritize that over Bond because it will be gone first?" (to use an example)

I bet they don't make the final decisions for the following weekend until they get the previous weekend's box office estimates. I know on fandango, you can see the schedule on future dates, but the weekend times don't go up until Monday or Tuesday.
