Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anyone seen the Gehry watches in stores anywhere?

Well, the link goes to Fossil, so I think their stores would have it in stock. Let's see - where's the nearest Fossil store? I know there's one in Gurnee Mills - is there one in Watertower Place?

eta: Yes there is. There's also a store in Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg (if you're ever unfortunate enough to find yourself in Schaumberg).

HELP ME

I have recently given up my cable to haha save money. but I am missing The Daily Show and BSG something awful. I hear there are ways to download episodes but I don't know where or how to go about it. Can someone steer me in the right direction?

I've tried searching this thread but I'm getting nowhere.

help

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I have to go to Lookingglass this week, so I'll try to hit Watertower Place while I'm down there.

The long tabs on the side that hold the band are also a problem, I think, if you have a small wrist. I'm not sure it would fit snugly.

My wrists are relatively small, but I also have a metal allergy to contend with. The Fossil site says they're titanium cases, which I can wear, but if there are other parts (like screws) that contact the skin I'm out of luck.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

quester, I haven't done it personally yet, but if you use BitTorrent and go to a torrent site, you can download episodes of both those shows. I have a friend who does it and burns them for me. It's slow going. Takes a while to download. And you need plenty of hard drive space.

Coding and Sleeping

Insent quester.

I have cable modem, a recent daily show takes me about 15 minutes to download. Less active torrents can take a lot longer.

tommyrot, I hear that Woodfield Mall has a place to get amazingly good chocolate. You know, should you find yourself there.

Your tag here.

Let's just say that I know for a fact that NBC/Universal (owners of BSG) frown very heavily on this practice, FYI.

Hey. New board.

Also, unlike some other studios that frown on it heavily, they nicely provide another option: you can download BSG season 2 for $1.99 an episode from the iTunes store. Which is much less a PITA than BT anyway, for the vast majority of folks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
