Hey Beaker...I totally forgot to mention it...thanks a ton for the Broncos. They came in one day last week I think. That's awesome. - Jim May 17, 13:00
I'm surprised we haven't been hearing more of the possibility of Michele Bachmann's running for the GOP nomination. - Don Homer May 17, 12:59 5

  - if they're trying to scare me into voting for Newt this might work. - Mel Profit May 17, 13:01
- She's in... - Will Hunting May 17, 13:00
everything that Beaker says is a lie - lord tubbington May 17, 12:56
DAY SIX - nubby May 17, 12:56 38
- is that enough voting or do we have to wait for Mafic? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:13
- AMBUSH JAXSEAN - znufrii May 17, 13:09
- AMBUSH JAXSEAN obvie. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 13:07 1
  - AMBUSH JAXSEAN. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 13:07
- AMBUSH KELLY - oh yes I did!!! -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:06
- with my last breath I out JAX as a dirty fucking fox. -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:04 3
  - He's next if I'm right about Kelly -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:06
  - yeah you heard me. -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:05 1
    - liar! -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 13:09
- Also, I'm leaving in an hour for a baseball game, so Day Seven might not happen until late tonight. -- nm - nubby May 17, 13:02
- AMBUSH MAFIC. -- nm - kelly May 17, 13:01 4
  - AMBUSH MAFIC -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 13:07
  - what's the rush ... are you a fox? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:02 2
    - Nope, but I have few chances to sneak around on my phone at work so I'm voting while I can. -- nm - kelly May 17, 13:07 1
      - you and Jax keep voting the same too ... hmmm -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:14
- Shoot. Sorry mara, wish you would have attempted to defend yourself between the last couple of rounds. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 13:00
- WHAT? this SUCKS -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:00 2
  - I apologize for voting to ambush you back there, I'm apparently bad at this. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 13:01 1
    - I'm bad at it too (obvie) - no worries -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:03
- thanks cochran hen. well played -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:00 6
  - I posted it then cause I also knew Vermin was a hen but couldn't get on FB to organize a save. I also knew mara was but you guys killed her on my way -- nm - home Beaker May 17, 13:02 5
    - Mara as saved by Cochran in Day One, so I don't think she could be saved again. -- nm - ty97 May 17, 13:03 3
      - not save her, save me when I outed myself as the question bird -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:04 2
        
        You weren't voted (the Cochrane can only save the votee)... - Will Hunting May 17, 13:05 1
        
        well that would have been nice to know 30 minutes ago :) -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:07
    - I had to try and organize a resistance before we all got knocked off and hoped I would be saved and pick the foxes next question -- nm - Beaker May 17, 13:03
- Hen Poll -- kelly or mafic? -- nm - znufrii May 17, 12:57 5
  - neither. - JaxSean May 17, 13:01 1
    - Kelly and Jax -- nm - JenBro May 17, 13:03
  - mafic is playing? -- nm - ty97 May 17, 12:58 1
    - LIVING: JaxSean, JenBro, kelly, mafic, NWbR, ty97, znufrii -- nm - mara May 17, 12:58
  - yes -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:58
- So. Dumb. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:57 5
  - for you -- (link) - znufrii May 17, 12:59 4
    - I am also saying they are playing it dumb. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 13:00 3
      - just because you're consitutionally incapable of having any fun, doesn't mean you need to continually try and spoil it for the rest of us. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 13:01 2
        
        I know for a fact that Spawn is constitutionally capable of having fun. - Trish May 17, 13:14
        
        I think the point was that even those of us not playing knew mara was a hen. Therefore, the decision to ambush her was dumb. :) -- nm - Jim May 17, 13:01
ZNUNEWS: Adventures of Tin Tin: Secret of the Unicorn trailer hits the interwebs -- (link) - oblique May 17, 12:55 [youtube]
the real story is not Newt, but imagining what sort of jewelry Mel would get for himself if he had that line -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:51 14
- And at his stature, he could get even more. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:53
- For himself? You mean for Diva right? - Stephen May 17, 12:53 7
  - honestly true. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 13:00
  - Uhm, yeah, for Diva. Exactly. Really (nm) - Mel SI hiding his 24k gold "MEL LUVS PAPI&quo May 17, 12:55 4
    - I'm thinking a big gold chain holding the words "Cowboy Up" in diamonds -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:58 3
      - and maybe one ring spelling 'Wicked' and another spelling 'Pissah' -- nm - crash davis May 17, 13:00 2
        
        that's what the upper and lower parts of my teeth caps would spell. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 13:00 1
        
        awesome grill man -- nm - crash davis May 17, 13:01
  - naw,for himself -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:54
- he'd channel Flava-flav -- nm - decline May 17, 12:52 3
  - With a reallly small clock around his neck. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 12:55 2
    - (pocket watch) -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:55 1
      - but a really sparkly one -- nm - decline May 17, 12:56
- pimp goblet -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:52
did I miss day 6's recap? - kelly May 17, 12:45 2
- You were the weakest link. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:46
- Not yet. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:46
Costco has cherries -- nm - peglegpete May 17, 12:45 3
- thank goodness - was wondering when they were coming back -- nm - Epiphany May 17, 13:01
- I saw a ton of cherries and strawberries at my neighborhood farmer's market. - con_carne May 17, 12:47 1
  - of course. SoCal farmers markets have all the good produce a week before the big chains stores -- nm - peglegpete May 17, 12:50
I'd like a revolving line of credit of 500K for high end jewelry, please. -- nm - Mel Profit May 17, 12:42 33
- insurance is astronomical if you keep it at home, and not a bank vault -- nm - peglegpete May 17, 12:45
- Sure, be worth millions of dollars and we'll sign you right up! -- nm - Tiffany's May 17, 12:45
- i'm sure if Michelle Obama carried that much Tiffany's debt, Fox News would let it totally slide -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:43 30
  - And they'd be just as wrong as you're being right now and you'd call them out for being ridiculous. -- nm - Ender May 17, 12:45 29
    - Does Newt have 500k in dept to Tiffany's or a 500k line of credit? - musubi May 17, 12:46 11
      - the story said this: - b. May 17, 12:49 8
        
        So basically he's bought some *highly* pricey jewelry, and is slowly paying it off? - musubi May 17, 12:53 6
        
        Pretty much. And we have no clue what kind of interest he gets on that, it could be nothing. -- nm - Ender May 17, 12:54 3
        
        Oh, i am sure it zero percent. In fact, he is probably getting cash back on it. Tiffany's does not want to make money, or anything. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:56 2
        
        I get 0% interest if I spend more than $150 at Best Buy, you don't think Tiffany's wants to keep people buying quarter million dollar jewelry happy? -- nm - Ender May 17, 13:01
        
        per their own credit card info page, they sometimes have "no interest" items. we have no idea if they were involved one way or the other. nm but: -- (link) - b. May 17, 13:01
        
        5 years old. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:54
        
        back in 2005. It's more a poke at him having debt when he is so anti-deficit -- nm - decline May 17, 12:54
        
        And this was all back in 2006. -- nm - Ender May 17, 12:52
      - *reads. rereads* -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:47
      - err, debt, that is. (nm) - musubi May 17, 12:46
    - politico (no liberal rag) broke the story, not me. -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:46 16
      - And you brought it here as if it's an indictment against Newt's stance on the deficit... -- nm - Stephen May 17, 12:47 15
        
        I don't see the story as newsworthy at all. I do maintain that Newt Gingrich is a dirtbag but not for this. -- nm - David May 17, 12:54 5
        
        this is what gets me, in this case and so many others - for both dems and reps. when you have someone with such a variety of pickings from which to - b. May 17, 12:56 2
        
        because its a long time to the primaries with a lot of news space to fill -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:57 1
        
        It's like reverse-astroturfing. Astroturding. -- nm - Beryllium May 17, 13:00
        
        Yeah, i'm no fan of his either. - Stephen May 17, 12:56
        
        agreed :) -- nm - decline May 17, 12:55
        
        rightly so. - Mel Profit May 17, 12:51 2
        
        He's spending his own money, to buy jewelry, and is paying it off over time! Oh noes! The horror! - Stephen May 17, 12:58
        
        that equating makes no sense to me. spending your own money vs. spending that of citizens isn't the same. and, again, we have no details re: how - b. May 17, 12:54
        
        that's how the story is playing in the media at large, yes -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:50 2
        
        And that's how you're arguing it as well. - Stephen May 17, 12:52 1
        
        it's more of a venal than cardinal sin in my universe of Newt's transgressions - lord tubbington May 17, 12:55
        
        "If he can't control his finances at home, how can he control it for an entire nation!!1" ... it doesn't translate, does it? :) - Beryllium May 17, 12:49 2
        
        I actually believe that to a point. that is, while they are different areas, I still feel better/more confident in someone who has personal - b. May 17, 12:52 1
        
        But what's often missed in frenzies like this is that this might well be based on solid reasoning -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 17, 12:54
Jax, I think we can form a band together on Live this weekend. I'll gladly switch to bass -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:38 6
- Coolio. I can play pretty much all the instruments, but don't have the keyboard. -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 12:41 5
  - You drum? -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:48 2
    - On Medium. -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 12:55 1
      - nevermind, after I posted I realized that would be like putting Jimmy Page on drums -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:56
  - keyboard is hard. It's a strange notation. -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:42 1
    - I took piano for years and I find that it hurts me rather than gives me an advantage. -- nm - Trish May 17, 13:20
Now I'm imagining Mop going back to Halo 3 and playing a bunch of the Avalanche map to get ready for the North Pole dispute -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:36 3
- I was born Canadian. I don't need to get ready. It's in my blood! BRING IT! -- nm - Mop (208 lbs) May 17, 12:45 2
  - Does Canada maintain a "Warty" division? -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:46 1
    - No, but they do have a "Canadian Rangers" division which is equally amusing. - Mop (208 lbs) May 17, 12:57
New TDS correspondant announced -- (link) - nubby May 17, 12:36 7
- He is funny. I think he will do a great job. -- nm - not2fast May 17, 14:54
- wait, who don't you like of the current bunch? -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:37 5
  - Josh Gad, mainly. Not a fan of Munn either. - nubby May 17, 12:37 4
    - I liked the Tiger Mom report -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:40 3
      - "What's a MILF?" -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:41 2
        
        "The chopsticks. If I use my knuckle, I hurt my hand" -- nm - crash davis May 17, 12:47 1
        
        I had a Singaporean piano teacher. A lot of that rang true. -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:50
Proof that Rob could be the best player even though he didn't with them all: I'm by far the best Fox&Hen player, yet I was voted out second - Guigue May 17, 12:36 1
- we treated your body gently...as we threw it off the aircraft carrier into the pond. -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 12:48
Lord Tubbington, how was the fried chicken truck? -- nm - con_carne May 17, 12:35 13
- meh. i was expecting more, given how people had gushed about it. plus they were out of biscuits and cookies. B-/C+ -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:36 12
  - You should have gone with the fried fox truck. -- nm - Dano May 17, 12:40 2
    - don't give the hipsters any ideas. i'm sure there would be a "Fox On the Run" truck parked on Wilshire the next day -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:42 1
      - Right next to Venison Van! -- nm - con_carne May 17, 12:44
  - in my mind, the whole point of a fried chicken truck would be the biscuits. -- nm - Andie May 17, 12:39 8
    - Not Botulism? -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:40 2
      - i ate at a few fried chicken stands in the south (like Memphis, Natchez) and they were *awesome*. -- nm - Andie May 17, 12:42 1
        
        There needs to be an adress I can send the court papers to if I am going to let them make me food. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:45
    - exactly! how do you run out of biscuits?! -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:40 4
      - no corn bread? -- nm - b. May 17, 12:41 3
        
        Ludo Lefebvere makes the menu, not me! -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:44 2
        
        I appreciate that, but I wondered if there was a side alternative available. get there earlier!-- nm - b. May 17, 12:47
        
        Dude has a vision. They all have to have a vision! -- nm - con_carne May 17, 12:45
LIR: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 -- nm - Beaker May 17, 12:35 35
- who are the foxes then? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 12:51 1
  - If Beaker is true, then two of JaxSean, kelly, mafic, ty97 or myself. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:53
- *IF* Beaker is a fox (I have no clue at this point), this is a *HELL* of a play. (nm) - musubi May 17, 12:49 1
  - Maybe. If he's lying, the onus is on the true power hen to out themselves right now and reveal what they know for comparison purposes. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:53
- Just saying this would have been useful to know *last* round... -- nm - znufrii May 17, 12:43 8
  - by which I mean ti is better to reveal it at the beginning of a round, not right before the foxes decide who to chomp next. -- nm - znufrii May 17, 12:50 6
    - he's making a big gamble that the cochran hen is still alive (assuming he is a hen) -- nm - decline May 17, 12:51 5
      - Cochran is still alive. None of the special hens have been targeted yet. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:54 4
        
        I'm not playing, but I would think it would make thing much harder not to reveal the 'special' hens upon death . -- nm - decline May 17, 12:59
        
        wait - I thought that was the hen that could save a hen and no one has been saved since Mara? -- nm - JenBro May 17, 12:56 2
        
        Yes. The thing is that Cochran doesn't know who's a hen and who isn't. (I think.) -- nm - mara May 17, 12:57 1
        
        Correct. -- nm - nubby May 17, 12:59
  - yup. - JaxSean May 17, 12:46
- At this point I should just concede that I have no idea how this game is supposed to be played. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:37 21
  - it's fairly easy. don't die. -- nm - decline May 17, 12:39 2
    - I'm thinking: A) Only vote after several others have, and always vote for somebody already named. B) Don't post much strategizing, but try to post som -- nm - mara May 17, 12:41 1
      - right. convince everone you are a harmless hen - whether you are or not. -- nm - decline May 17, 12:44
  - What's confusing you here? -- nm - Will Hunting May 17, 12:38 17
    - Why ST is so obsessed with it. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:39 2
      - Did you just meet us? -- nm - oblique May 17, 12:40 1
        
        I mean, did I miss where nubby put his arns above his head? -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:41
    - How Beaker knows what he says he knows, and why he's posting it. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:39 13
      - He's the hen with the power of asking nubby once per round if "so and so" is a fox. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:40 12
        
        or he's the fox and know's who the other fox is -- nm - decline May 17, 12:43 4
        
        But then the real vigilant would know it's a lie and could tell on him!!! - Guigue May 17, 12:45 2
        
        (where is mafic?!?) -- nm - JaxSean May 17, 12:52 1
        
        out wrangling kangaroos or some such -- nm - decline May 17, 12:53
        
        He'll be right about me being a hen. *shrug* But then he knew we'd all know that in a few minutes. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:43
        
        That's what I thought, but why is he posting it? It makes the game awfully easy if he's allowed to do that, or at least the second half of the game. - mara May 17, 12:42 6
        
        If he posts it earlier, the foxes instantly target him because of the power. - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:45 4
        
        I'm not sure how the foxes win at this point. Or am I being slow. If it turns out I'm a hen, it proves he may be accurate about the rest. Then you - mara May 17, 12:53 3
        
        If you're a hen, he may or may not be telling the truth. If he is, then we're way off on our accusations and need to change course. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 17, 12:55 2
        
        Sure, but do you ambush him next to find out if he's a fox or a hen? Surely that would affect what you believe of what he said? -- nm - mara May 17, 12:56 1
        
        Heh, never mind. -- nm - mara May 17, 12:57
        
        Basically we're at the point that information given is more vital than information held till death. - Will Hunting May 17, 12:44
Mitch Daniels now has his campaign platform subject! -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:33 7
- Kate Upton's breasts? -- nm - prayformojo May 17, 12:35 4
  - *switches to R* -- nm - Spawn May 17, 12:38
  - He's for the right one, but regards the left one as a radical. -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:37 2
    - That should get him a bounce -- nm - con_carne May 17, 12:38 1
      - He's shooting up in the polls! -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:39
- rampant hen deaths? -- nm - Reagen May 17, 12:34
- a dead hen in every pot? -- nm - lord tubbington May 17, 12:34
