season tix for Winnipeg Jets "likely" to go on sale -- (link) - moles Apr 14, 22:32 10
- well, i don't know if they would still be called the Jets. should they have a new name? "Slurpees"?? -- nm - moles Apr 14, 22:34 9
  - they'd almost certainly be the Manitoba Moose. true north has said as much. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 22:44 8
    - this would be a poor idea. -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 04:36
    - All sorts of talk. I think a pay off will occur and it'll be the Jets. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 22:50 2
      - the league owns the name, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was part of the deal. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 22:59 1
        
        All sorts of chatter. At a political dinner tonight and people think that there's some sort of legal hurdle in the way, - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 23:00
    - oh come on -- nm - moles Apr 14, 22:45 3
      - it's the name of the AHL team that true north also owns, which will likely be moved in the event the NHL comes back. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 23:00 2
        
        Doesn't have the same cache. There'll be anger if that's the choice. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 14, 23:01 1
        
        but they're invested in the brand. the economist in me says don't consider money already spent, but the realist knows there'll be some exec pointing - mafic Apr 14, 23:03
I miss the days of pop-up picture books haha. :P -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 14, 22:28 5
- I have several! some are made for adults. :) -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:30 4
  - What pops out in the adult version of the book? :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 14, 22:31 3
    - that's the Pizza Delivery book -- nm - Remlik Apr 14, 22:34
    - they aren't dirty, you perv. but maybe they should be. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:32 1
      - I would imagine they have the dirty ones too.. I bet Sheen would know. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 14, 22:35
according to my facebook, the Men's Titanic Society had its annual ceremony at the Titanic Memorial in DC tonight. If you have never seen the Titanic - loosilu Apr 14, 22:28 3
- Credit them for staying historically accurate: a bunch of old white men being served drinks by a black man servant. -- nm - Mop Apr 14, 23:03 2
  - and women not allowed -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 14, 23:15 1
    - correct. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 23:18
that Charles Sheen character certainly takes to his persona naturally. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 21:58 5
- LIR yes friend request him. He'll look at your profile pic and accept based on - Epiphany Apr 14, 22:12 1
  - lol! he better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:15
- I would be lying if I said I wasn't having a lot of fun. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:00 2
  - how do you do it? -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:01 1
    - I was born weird. I just post shit that pops into my brain. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:03
On a very special ST -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 21:54 76
- I love the way it's like eag is the scantily clad sorority girl in the horror movie and we're all screaming at him not to go in that dark room. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 14, 21:56 75
  - I enjoy the advise half serious and have humourous it makes a frustrating situatuion not so much -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:01 61
    - It hurts that's for sure. I still would rather be dumped that dump them. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:05 60
      - I would rather dump them, every time. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:18 9
        
        I know my friends think I am nuts. Guilt does a mindfuck on me though. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:19 8
        
        it's very simple to me. If I'm going to dump them, that's inevitable. Hanging on would be far worse. Dumping them is the best way. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:21 7
        
        Oh I do it. I just hate doing it. It lingers for awhile. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:38 6
        
        it doesn't eat at me at all. maybe I am an evil beyotch. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:40 5
        
        I am in the minority. I know that. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:41 4
        
        I am not sure that's true. I've heard many people say that. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:43 2
        
        My friends agree with you. I think it's because me dumping someone is my choice to reject them. Being dumped is out of my hands. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:45 1
        
        Me not liking them is out of my control. dumping them is necessary. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:49
        
        I am with you there. -- nm - Spawn Apr 14, 22:43
      - It might be wishful thinking but I think things will still work out - eag Apr 14, 22:08 49
        
        I just know what I have read here. Which gives me little perspective other than experiences I have had with women myself. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:13 48
        
        We were on the brink of a relationship and she hit the breaks hard, why? - eag Apr 14, 22:20 36
        
        [deleted]
        
        Oh and a little more background on her - eag Apr 14, 23:05 12
        
        maybe you have smacked her around a bit, you know, to get her attention...made her write bad checks for you -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 14, 23:19
        
        it doesn't matter. given her history, I'd say it is likely the better you are for her, the faster she will run. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 23:15 1
        
        I actually agree with that - eag Apr 14, 23:19
        
        however much space she's asking for, multiply it by like a million -- nm - moles Apr 14, 23:08
        
        You may be the best guy on paper but love is blind. -- nm - Bacon on a droid Apr 14, 23:07 7
        
        All im saying - eag Apr 14, 23:14 6
        
        I think you are totally wrong. You have overthought this to oblivian. - Bacon on a droid Apr 14, 23:19 1
        
        Well she isnt going out of her way to return it - eag Apr 14, 23:25
        
        if she was hurting more, she'd be calling you right now. - loosilu Apr 14, 23:17 3
        
        I mean long term not now -- nm - eag Apr 14, 23:20 2
        
        come back in a year and we'll see. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 23:20 1
        
        Like she would tell me if it were the case - eag Apr 14, 23:27
        
        I think she was in 'love' with the idea of being in love, but not in love with you...but also I think we've all been in a situation where the gal is.. - zeitgeist Apr 14, 22:33
        
        It never makes sense to the other person. I don't know. Rarely do you get the honest answers. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:26 15
        
        it's not even sugarcoating. I think a lot of the time they just honestly don't know. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:32 8
        
        I think this aplies to her -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:36 7
        
        two weeks ago I asked my college ex why he ran. he still doesn't know. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:37 6
        
        I will lie if it's a bad reason. Make up something more sincere. -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:40 5
        
        yeah, I'm sure there are reasons I'd be happier not to ever hear. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:41 4
        
        The only time I give real reasons is if they get mad at me for dumping them. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:43 3
        
        that's a bad reason? damn you're a nice guy. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:44 2
        
        A controlling woman is what I hate the most. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:47 1
        
        "you're a controlling bitch". that's what you would say if you weren't a nice guy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:49
        
        I just never had an almost relationship before - eag Apr 14, 22:30 5
        
        I have had many. Remember that heartbreak I had over a whole summer with Waterskiing Trip woman? That was horrible. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:32 2
        
        shit, I still have to talk myself down from contacting crazy art teacher. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:33 1
        
        or buying masticationstation.com ...... ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 23:29
        
        well now you have. chalk it up to experience and move on -- nm - moles Apr 14, 22:31
        
        honey, I have had more than I can count. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:31
        
        it doesn't matter. it really, really doesn't. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:21 4
        
        And if it were you - eag Apr 14, 22:25 2
        
        the why will drive you crazy. sometimes it isn't even there. at least not in a reasonable way. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 23:01
        
        I have learned not to ask. it only makes things worse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:30
        
        Im just explaining to Bacon about it -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:23
        
        this is good advice. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:19
        
        That said. Definitely don't pursue, ask questions about when, where, why? Don't chase, send flowers, cards emails. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:18 9
        
        I dont have a car and we dont have common friends -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:22 8
        
        not the point. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:23 7
        
        Like I said - eag Apr 14, 22:27 6
        
        Everyone is just giving you their honest advice. You will either choose to take it or not. I do know this. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:30 5
        
        Thats why im not repeating what I did last week. -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:33 4
        
        I will say this. Maybe it will make you feel better or it won't. Nothing you do is going to fix it. - Bacon Apr 14, 22:37 3
        
        Kind of disagree - eag Apr 14, 22:44 2
        
        I have to say Bacon is right. "being supportive" will drive her away. - loosilu Apr 14, 22:51 1
        
        Your not getting what I mean - eag Apr 14, 22:55
  - .... but he goes anyway. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 21:58
  - But if he just says the magic words... - Reagen Apr 14, 21:57 10
    - The girl version is: "Maybe if I sleep with him, he'll think I'm so sexy he'll definitely fall for me." nm - ralph wiggum Apr 14, 22:00 9
      - I enjoy the girl version a lot more. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 22:20
      - i've spent my life around the wrong girls, obviously -- nm - moles Apr 14, 22:01 1
        
        I wouldn't say that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:02
      - you read my diary??? - loosilu Apr 14, 22:00 5
        
        ST is my diary -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:04 2
        
        And your drug -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:05 1
        
        I love an audience. WHAT A RUSH! -- nm - Bacon Apr 14, 22:06
        
        Not even a journal? -- nm - eag Apr 14, 22:02 1
        
        hell not. mom snooped then gave me shit for what I wrote. I quit after a week. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 22:03
  - Just run out the front door! -- nm - MDH Apr 14, 21:56
