HS #1 (Fresh/Soph) - I found out later that I was assumed to be smart, because I hung around with the smart kids. I hung around with them in the hopes I'd learn something. HS #2 (Jr) - Can't say I was identified with any particular group. Classmates were stunned to find out I was a Junior, thinking I was some Sophomore (I looked really young). The school & town was real cliquey, so I sat alone for quite some time before finding people who'd accept me. They and I were pretty non-descript. HS #3 - A nobody. Hated the place, was sick of school entirely by this point. The brother of a friend could not believe I was in his class year - he didn't even know I was there, and that's kind of how I wanted it. The only person I hung around with got suspended. The valedictorian for our class delivered a rant against the school & teachers at graduation and had to be physically removed during his speech (sorry I missed it).

Karaoke Queen? Wasn't that by Billy Ocean?

...is down so often and for such long periods you'd think it was owned by Comcast.

Huh. All I got living in the trees around here are cookie baking elves. And their cookies are terrible.

I think he should work "I want my bullet back" (from the linked story - he wants it back from the guy he shot) into the song.

...Shaver, that is! http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-billy-joe-shaver-interview-country-music-20150528-story.html Todd Rundgren covers "Warrior Man"

Without.

That's because there is no such thing as a "soul mate". What if your soul mate is an elderly woman living in the hinterlands of Siberia? What's that you say? It has to be a guy? Then that's not a soul mate - that's part of a wish list.

So would a Commodore VIC-20, but do you know anybody that still uses one?

You do realize that some of those updates are because they found holes in code that bad people exploit to get into your system, right?

...but her voice is familiar (fr. an old NCIS episode). Then it hit me...

Working. All 3 days.

Speaking of hipsters, whatever became of Park?

Yeah, like that !

20 sec after Pitt scores, Ott responds 1-1

Shut off the audio, it only has a slight connection to the film. I was at this concert. Cheap Trick had played Chicagofest (Navy Pier) the day before. Robin Zander had performed with an open shirt that night. This concert was the following night & his sore throat made him quit songs about half way through and Rick Nielsen would take over. The bit near the end is Rick ripping the opening act & trying to buy time so that Robin could continue. In the end, Robin did come back out for the encore - a cover of "Highway to Hell" where he sounded just like Bon Scott.

Come on Sens!

"Possible" in that the person may have blown themselves up rather than just dumping a device someplace and disappearing (or perhaps they accidentally set it off before they could get away). Now the Manchester Cops are saying they found a second device and are going to do a controlled detonation.

Latest - 19 killed, 50 injured. The blast may have occurred outside the arena, rather than in the foyer as initially reported.

Reports so far - 19 dead, possible suicide bomber.

So, like "California Pizza Kitchen" or BBQ or Hawaiian pizzas.
