The Dallas Cowboys reportedly laughed and played games on the plane ride from Philly. -- (link) - Don Homer Dec 30, 09:24 3

STIS -- Any recommendation for a good noise-cancelling headphone that's under $100? - mrfuzzy doing warrior pose Dec 30, 09:18 4
- These were recommended to my by TT (TFox I think), and they're not noise cancelling but damn, I can't hear a thing when I borrow them from my wife -- (link) - oblique Dec 30, 09:20 3
  - Yeah, it was me, and they are the embodiment of radness. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 09:20 2
    - I need to thank you again. Those were an awesome gift for my wife -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:21 1
      - I am nothing if not a giver. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 09:23
The only thing I would enjoy about an MLB salary cap would be the reaction of teams when the cap is double or triple their previous payroll. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 09:14 17
- We didn't quite have that in the NHL, but several teams have been in danger of missing the salary floor - Reagen Dec 30, 09:21 6
  - but then when was the last time theyt didn't suck? 1993? -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:26 5
    - right, but "LA" and "small market" rarely go hand in hand in the thought process. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 09:28 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        the kings actually had one of the better attendance records in the league, before they started sucking. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:32 1
        
        I think we'd need another Gretzky to accomplish that again. Is there one? -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 09:39
        
        but then Anaheim = big market. -- nm - Reagen Dec 30, 09:31
- my problem is more from a labour standpoint. you set a cap at a level attainable for all teams, and you have the yankees and red sox (who I presume - mafic Dec 30, 09:21 7
  - And I think that's the point: it won't change small market spending, and will force Steinbrenner and Henry to keep more money. - TFox Dec 30, 09:23 6
    - It won't and it will - - Reagen Dec 30, 09:27
    - [deleted] 4
      - move their teams to Minneapolis or Seattle and see how much money they put back into the game -- nm - pigby Dec 30, 09:30
      - as opposed to, say, lowering ticket prices? -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:29 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I have no problem charging (and paying) what the market demands, but let's not pretend they're doing it to give back to the game somehow. - mafic Dec 30, 09:39
- What teams will need a bailout just to keep up? -- nm - Mop Dec 30, 09:18 1
  - It's hilarious to me. If you have a cap, your fans expect you to spend up to the cap. Which many, many teams have zero interest in doing. -- nm - TFox Dec 30, 09:19
ST Bjork clip of the day. - Link - lileve Dec 30, 09:11 [youtube] 9
- Watching music videos on YT is fine, but why can't it tell me which album it's on? - con_carne Dec 30, 09:19
- *blinks* How do you not have sound at work? -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:14 7
  - No speakers. -- nm - lileve Dec 30, 09:41
  - I don't have sound at work. -- nm - amoxy Dec 30, 09:15 4
    - But how? Does the computer not do it? There are such things as headphones... -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:16 3
      - computers without sound cards is cheaper. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:17 2
        
        I guess for older machines, but pretty much *every* computer these days has sound built onto the motherboard -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:17 1
        
        I have an older machine and am low man on the Totem Pole with regards to replacement machines - amoxy Dec 30, 09:19
  - cones of silence all around. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:15
NJ rules against church group in gay rights case -- (link) - oblique Dec 30, 09:10 3
- [deleted] 1
  - how so? -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 09:37
- It's sad that I assume the gays must have won because this says "rules against church" -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 09:14
The Associated Press 2008 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Is Matt Ryan. - David Dec 30, 09:01 5
- Very nice. And I'm very pleased to see my boy Clady got a couple votes. - Jim Dec 30, 09:38
- I think they beat Arizona. Then they have the real test, be it NY or Carolina. -- nm - Shaun - 2008 Caveman Champion Dec 30, 09:02 2
  - We're bottom quarter in pass defense and Kurt Warner is 7-1 against us. This game could be an upset. -- nm - David Dec 30, 09:04 1
    - This is my thinking. Need Turner to dominate time of possession game. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 30, 09:18

TT Advice Question - Strongbad Dec 30, 08:58 38
- Is there a reason you can't tell her about the ring? I think I'm missing the dilemma here. - mrfuzzy Dec 30, 09:15 9
  - Might ruin the surprise when/if he pops the question -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Dec 30, 09:20 2
    - and also could generate the "Can I see it? Oh, I wouldn't want that as my ring. It's not right for me" response -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:22 1
      - If she doesn't like it you damn well better get rid of her. -- nm - Grandma si Dec 30, 09:24
  - "if I ever ask you to marry me." probably isn't a line you want to utter to your serious girlfriend. -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:18 1
    - Which is why I wouldn't phrase it like that. :) - mrfuzzy doing warrior pose Dec 30, 09:24
  - In advance of asking her? That might be... a little much? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:17 3
    - "Grandma gave me a family heirloom, her wedding ring, I'm thinking I should keep it in a safe deposit box to keep it safe" -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:18 2
      - Yes, something like this. It may even open the door to a conversation about what you each see as the future of your relationship. -- nm - mrfuzzy doing warrior pose Dec 30, 09:21
      - "Why would your gandma give you something like that... unless... OMG!!! YES YES YES!!!" -- nm - Future live-In GF Dec 30, 09:19
- Pop the question with very long term view to it.. Let her sweat where to keep it! (NM) - Marlowe Dec 30, 09:12 1
  - heh *or* propose to another girl 500 miles away so she can keep it safe on her finger until it's time to break up with her. -- nm - Loyola Dec 30, 09:15
- Hidden in the attic somewhere, maybe. -- nm - Loyola Dec 30, 09:10
- Put it in a box of crackers -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:05
- Hide it in the Sex Panther -- nm - con_carne Dec 30, 09:05
- send it to me, I'll keep it safe for you... -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 09:04 2
  - Now I have a mental picture of Gollum with znufrii's face. :) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:07 1
    - I wants it! -- nm - znufrii Dec 30, 09:12
- Get a little fire safe thingy. -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:01 11
  - She already owns one, obviously can't use that. Buying another would probably be suspicious. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:03
  - "What's locked in here?" -- nm - Future Live-In GF Dec 30, 09:02 5
    - "Oh, just paperwork." -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:05 4
      - so you want him to lie to his (maybe) future wife? :) -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:06 2
        
        Right this very second she's thinking about all the stuff she has to hide when she moves in! -- nm - Amy SuperHoop Queen Dec 30, 09:07 1
        
        Like "Steve?" -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Dec 30, 09:11
      - "About what? Why won't you show me? WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SECRETS!!!" -- nm - Future Live-In GF Dec 30, 09:06
  - "honey, what do you keep in that little safe?" "nothing! don't look in there! it's my own personal private business!" -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:02 3
    - (though if you answer like that, she'll probably just think it's porn) -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:07 2
      - ooh, hide it with porn! then it'll be like a prize if she ever finds the porn! -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:11 1
        
        "That's one fancy cock ring..." -- nm - Future GF SI Dec 30, 09:13
- [deleted]
- saftey deposit box. -- nm - Remlik Dec 30, 09:00
- "Do you know where I hid this large...cold...uncomfortable hunk of metal?" [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 30, 09:00
- Get a safe deposit box. They're like $10/year or something -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:00
- Getting a safety deposit box is probably the best/safest option. -- nm - Cuzzin Tauld Land Syne Dec 30, 08:59 3
  - Credit Union doesn't offer them... would I have to set up an account at a bank to use it? -- nm - Strongbad Dec 30, 09:06 1
    - I would find a local bank that will let you have one without an account. Might have to call around -- nm - oblique Dec 30, 09:09
  - what he said. you don't want her finding it before you're ready (or before she is, for that matter). -- nm - mafic Dec 30, 09:01
[deleted] 4
