  - cause charging up millions in expensive jewelry is exactly like putting a roof over your head -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:27 5
    - I don't see what the story is, at this point. if he didn't pay it off, if it was funded by lobbyists, etc. - then there'd be a story. -- nm - b. May 17, 12:32
    - Unless he's behind on his payments how he goes about paying for his expensive jewelry is nobody's buisness but his own. -- nm - Ender May 17, 12:31 3

BB'ing...sonofa...damn you foxes! - Stephen May 17, 12:12 1

DAY FIVE - nubby May 17, 12:11 23
- alright this will probably get me killed but I hope someone saves me. Mara is a hen. znu is a hen. Jenbro is a hen. I *know* things -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:34 2
  - Hmmm. I was wondering why nobody appeared to tip that off that power yet. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:37
  - oh, this would make me the question thingh hen... -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:34
- ok AMBUSH MARA -- nm - JenBro May 17, 12:28 2
  - I really suck at this game - thought Will was a fox - didn't know Vermin was - have no idea about Mara - still think it's Kelly & Jax though -- nm - JenBro May 17, 12:32 1
    - Vermin wasn't. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:33
- AMBUSH MARA -- nm - kelly May 17, 12:23 5
  - Six votes, but it's a tie. Next vote wins. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:23 4
    - Wait, nevermind. The day is over. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:23 3
      - Fox/chicken subpoll: What are your plans for Saturday? -- nm - David May 17, 12:24 2

        Partyin', partyin'. Yeah! -- nm - Don Homer May 17, 12:26
- dammit, first Will, now TFox? I should have trusted him. AMBUSH JENBRO. (though I see the mara logic too, I'm mad for not trusting TFox) -- nm - ty97 May 17, 12:20 1
  - well, he does (did) have "fox" right there in his name -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:21
- It's useless, but I vote to AMBUSH JENBRO. When I turn out to be a hen, all it will prove is how much I suck at playing this game. (You can't be a fox - mara May 17, 12:17 3
  - your vehemence comes across as trying too hard. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 12:27 1
    - Of course. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:27
  - *makes stink eyes at mara while talking to other hens* This vote feels like a way to throw us off. If she is a fox, do not use it as definitive.... - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:25
- Okay, I've made my case on a previous board. I think it's mara. Willing to hear arguments against for the next few minutes before casting my vote. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:15
- *pours out a 40 oz of egg beaters for his homie* -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:13

- Ozzy -- nm - the undercover specialist May 17, 12:12
I've been a facilitating failure lately. Perhaps we can use this instead. Monthly "What if the Internet read the same book" being started..... - ty97 May 17, 12:05 1
- Related: whenever I listed to one of these, I think ST should listen to one in a group and then discuss. -- (link) - Vermin in the Henhouse May 17, 12:10
Another Survivor question, not really a spoiler, but it didn't seem like there was much gathering/foraging of indigenous food sources this time around - Stephen May 17, 12:05 3
- WHO TANGLED MY NETS?! -- nm - the undercover specialist May 17, 12:08 1
  - Right, that's one of the few references I remember. - Stephen May 17, 12:15
- I think they mostly just fish now. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 12:06
I think that's seven votes. -- nm - Vermin in the Henhouse May 17, 12:05 2
- Yep. Nubby closed it off. You'll either be protected or more likely, eaten. Any last words? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:06 1
  - I regret that I have but one life to give to my henhouse. - Vermin in the Henhouse May 17, 12:07

    - *nips at your flanks* -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 12:05
Looks like I'm still alive. -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 12:02 14
- but do you deserve to be? Is that the question? And if so, if so, who answers, who answers? -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:06 8
  - *summons his best early 90s primal scream into the mike* -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:21 3

    - I remember you from Sadgasm. -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:22 1
      - I like to think I influenced Crucifictorious -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:29

    - *narrows eyes suspiciously* -- nm - mara May 17, 12:10
- he's a fox! -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:02 1
  - the plastic egg underneath him was a silly attempt at subterfuge. -- nm - b. May 17, 12:04
b. - the puzzle thing in challenges has been annoying for several seasons now. Every challenge is essentially a variation on the same theme now. - Jim May 17, 11:57 11
- it just seemed like there was more this year, but I know you pay more attention to details than I do! -- nm - b. May 17, 12:02
- i haven't watched in ages, they don't do gross food anymore? i loved those. -- nm - Andie May 17, 12:00 6
  - I couldn't watch those. -- nm - loosi at the Hilton May 17, 12:02
  - That got it's own show... - Stephen May 17, 12:01 3
    - The cool part of those challenges, IMO, was that the foods they were eating were all foods that were eaten by the locals in that area. - Jim May 17, 12:05 2
      - well if they think I would suck a cock on Survivor : Island of the Gays, they are crazy. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 12:09 1
        
        for a million bucks? they'll even blur out the cock -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:18
  - not in a while. That would be one of the 2 things keeping me out of Survivor. - groiny May 17, 12:01
- eat the one leaf that isn't poison ivy. -- nm - Max May 17, 11:59 2
  - Survivor needs more ... surviving. -- nm - Andie May 17, 12:01 1
    - swim in the one area that doesn't have a riptide. -- nm - Max May 17, 12:02

- Also notable, I'm pretty sure one of our administers fell asleep. -- nm - Amy May 17, 12:01 3
  - You work with Joe Biden*? - Stephen May 17, 12:07
  - drool on the table or loud snoring? -- nm - Remlik May 17, 12:06
  - he was just resting his eyes! -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:01
- The Kinsey Institute Library! -- nm - mara May 17, 11:57
- Money Shot! nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 11:55
Interesting take on Jack the Ripper. -- (link) - mara May 17, 11:54 27
- Alan Moore wrote a great fictional account "From Hell" (crappy movie) that really dives into the various theories.... - Remlik May 17, 12:05 2
  - I actually liked From Hell. -- nm - Stephen May 17, 12:10 1
    - I enjoyed it as well, never read the book though. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 12:10

  - that makes groiny Buffalo Bill -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:03 1
    - i masturbate so I will NOT kill people. nm -- nm - groiny May 17, 12:03

- if you ever read The Murder Room, they out the killer in the first few chapters saying it was obvious -- nm - Beaker May 17, 11:55 17
  - It's on my list to read. I've walked by that house a few times. I would love to meet these guys. -- nm - decline May 17, 12:09
  - everyone thinks their Ripper is obvious. -- nm - loosi at the Hilton May 17, 12:02 14
    - after reading the Murder Room I would trust these guys regarding who is and isn't a killer over 99.999% of the population -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:04 13
      - Is it "The murder room : the heirs of Sherlock Holmes gather to solve the world's most perplexing cold cases"? -- nm - mara May 17, 12:06 1
        
        yup. -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:06
      - I'm willing to check it out. I've read many theories about Jack and not one has been convincing. -- nm - loosi at the Hilton May 17, 12:05
      - it is an A++ read, the fact that it is non-fiction amazes me. -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:05 9
        
        can you spoil me on who they say is the Ripper? -- nm - loosi at the Hilton May 17, 12:06 8
        
        I have it here, hold on. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:08 6
        
        I wish I could remember where it was in the book, early I think -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:09 3
        
        it's this book you're talking about? nm but: -- (link) - b. May 17, 12:19 2
        
        It's bizarre to me that they could talk about the case without usng the word "ripper." -- nm - mara May 17, 12:31 1
        
        ?? ripper appears 3 times in just what google books has, so it's in there. -- nm - b. May 17, 12:33
        
        Holy crap, there's 56 cases in here, and no index. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:09

        crash, it was a real account, it was used back when we were running the arete league. -- nm - tRuMaN May 17, 11:59 2
        
        thanks, I signed into it and changed the password and a bunch of settings - maybe that will stop it -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:07
