This is a poorly written headline. "Chinese sentenced to die for Mongol herder's death." -- (link) - bc/nc Jun 8, 10:00 1
- That's going to be a long queue. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 10:05
I am in for ST Biggest Loser this summer if we do it. - Kim Pine Jun 8, 09:59 28
- LYC: I started a diet a couple weeks ago, and as I've suggested here before... - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 10:10 4
  - it seems to work awesome for guys. Didn't work so well for me. I haven't seen much feedback yet from other women but I'm curious. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 10:16 1
    - hmmm, just did some quick googling. seems a lot of women are finding the same result. what a bummer. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 10:19
  - I think I'm going to do that one..>I got the book and it seems harsh enough to get things moving. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:15
  - Oh, ha! That's why you recommended that the other day. - Reagen Jun 8, 10:13
- June 15th. No reason to waste 2 more weeks when 1 week would suffice. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:03 6
  - yeah, the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 8, 10:05 2
    - do we get a new score keeper, or wait for meg to show up today and see if she is willing? -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:06 1
      - she said on the last board? b3? - she will do it for us -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:12
  - yeah, I have been on 1500 calories a day since June 1. - groiny Jun 8, 10:03 1
    - actually since May 25. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:06
  - true, I keep thinking its later in June. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:03

  - I'm pretty sure it was Pippy. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:04 10
    - I'm being all quiet over here so I don't have to tell you guys - I gained a lot of it back - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:05 9
      - If I hadn't gotten xferred to bumf**k Indiana, home of the .5 cubic foot fridge, I think I had a chance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:18 2
        
        Heh. -- nm - kelly Jun 8, 10:21
        
        you are a Viking at this type of stuff. I'm askeerit -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:20

        This is me. I refuse to have to buy new pants. I'm not gonna do it. - Kim Pine Jun 8, 10:10 2

        my sistah - pretty soon people are going to ask if I need clothing donations since they see the same items over and over again -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:13
  - shay, i think? and jax did really well too (if i remember correctly.) -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 10:03 1
    - Shay is so bad ass - she is dedicated and looks great - she is a gym bunny. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:13
- we really should. If meg doesnt want to track it, we need to find another volunteer. We could start July 1. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:01 1
  - Let's do it. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:05
from b2: I had no idea Edlund wrote Jaynestown. he's an awesome writer. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:59 1

- ruh-roh... -- nm - Diva Jun 8, 10:02 3
  - yep. - Mel Profit Jun 8, 10:07 2
    - is it... - Diva Jun 8, 10:21 1
      - it is. - Mel Profit Jun 8, 10:29
congrats Mel and Diva. - groiny Jun 8, 09:55 8
- ? - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:16 5
  - I'm wondering the same thing. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 10:18
  - no, there's stuff on B2 (I had to check - but Diva clearly said "not pregnant", so ... heheh. They bought a condo!) - Beryllium Jun 8, 10:18 1
    - Nice! Congrats Diva and Mel! -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 10:22
  - I am sure if you wait a board or two, Mop will explain it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:18 1
    - Oh jeez..how'd I miss that....wooohooo DivaProfit! -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:19
- indeed -- nm - crash davis Jun 8, 10:15
- agreed. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:02
Perfect for a hot day. Looks like I have to get over to Durham, NC for this ice cream truck. Some of the flavors include salted butter caramel, - bc/nc Jun 8, 09:55 1

- It'd be more understandable if it was necessary, but it really isn't. I don't see any reason that games couldn't average 2 hours. - TFox Jun 8, 09:55 8
  - You shorten between half inning breaks (tv breaks) and games would all be around 2 hours. (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 10:24
  - I sort of agree, The games needs to be sped up but I don't like the idea of a pitch clock. Some guys take - Krusty Jun 8, 10:08 6
    - It's already a clock, 20 seconds iirc....they just don't enforce it. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:23 4
      - I, personally, love the gamesman ship of most of this stuff. - musubi Jun 8, 10:26 3
        
        I'm a big fan of if the pitch isn't delivered, call a ball. if the batter's not ready, call a strike. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:27 2
        
        I think a pitcher should be given a reasonable ammount of leeway on when he wants to pitch. - musubi Jun 8, 10:29 1
        
        I agree with this. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 10:32
    - get rid of all the mound visits, for one. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:10
- there are very few teams that embarass themselves. - groiny Jun 8, 09:55 13

    - 5.7 mil, Lackey 15 and Beckett 17 mil. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:07 10
      - Even still...it's drafting and Oakland's done well drafting pitching in the past..they just have no offense - Will Hunting Jun 8, 10:14 1
        
        it is just common sense to look at product vs price paid for product. - groiny Jun 8, 10:17
      - highest paid Oakland SP - 1.6 mil. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:09 1
        
        the entire Oakland and KC staff combined make about what CC Sabathia make. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:13
      - highest paid Royal SP, 2 mil. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:08 5
        
        highest paid Royal is Billy Butler (I think) at around $5mil. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:10 4
        
        pretty sure it is Soria. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:11 3
        
        hmm, it might be, I cannot remember. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:12 2
        
        he is at 4 mil, Butler is 3.75 mil. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 8, 10:14 1
        
        Close. Soria is top at 4M, Jason Kendall is second at 3.75M. Butlet third at 3.5M. (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 10:21
Neil Gaiman reunites with Mike Dringenberg and Sam Kieth for a 9 page story in IDW's Hero Comics 2011 anthology. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 09:52
Love this picture of Pinch & Pinch's mom skimming rocks -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 8, 09:52 [flickr] 9
- look his toes are squinchy in the sand - so cute -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:03
- adorable! he is such a mini CQ. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:56
- I love this one... -- (link) - Mel Profit Jun 8, 09:54 [flickr] 6
  - Adorable!! love it - he is photogenic as hell -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:05
  - It looks like he's about to go after some paparazzi for interrupting his vacation -- nm - prayformojo Jun 8, 09:55 4
    - in the next shot, CQ is waking up in the ER with a broken nose. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 09:59 3
      - nmbLoosilu - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:21 2
        
        *laughing* - loosilu Jun 8, 10:24 1
        
        snort - no. beard guy -- nm - Epiphany Jun 8, 10:44
So Nintendo's stock took a tumble due to lack of confidence in WiiU. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 8, 09:51 23
- the stock is actually about back to where it was at the wii launch...nm - x Jun 8, 10:00
- I'm not liking it. The controller is massive and I haven't seen anything revolutionary about it. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 09:53 16
  - E3 is a big bomb all around as far as I'm concerned. - Kim Pine Jun 8, 09:58 2
    - so you want to be crabby, old, and mean? poor david. (hi x!) - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:07
    - woo hoo!....nmn - x Jun 8, 10:02
  - I can see the promise, but it's just so amorphous. It's all dependent on where the developers go with it and that didn't work out so well for the Wii. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 09:57 5
    - The only stand-alone thing I saw on the gadget was a game of Othello. This isn't innovative. Sega had the VMU with hyde's beloved Dreamcast. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:08 4
      - and that was pushed by the system, it wasnt stored on the controller. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:08 3
        
        The Wii U isn't storing games on the controller either, it's pushing video from the console. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 10:26
        
        Dude, seriously? If that tablet doesn't work independently, even on a minimal level, they're gonna get roasted. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 10:13 1
        
        yup. its not a tablet, its a controller -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:29
  - I wouldn't call it revolutionary but it does follow a natural progression for them and integrates their products well - oblique Jun 8, 09:56 4
    - its not portable, its tied to the base system. they keep telling reporters that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:02 3
      - Not portable in the sense that you don't take it out of the house (that's what the DS/3DS is for) but in the home? Have they said whether or not it - oblique Jun 8, 10:04 2
        
        the games have to be on the WiiU for it to be played on the new controller. Reggie said that during an interview with g4 yesterday. - tRuMaN Jun 8, 10:05 1
        
        I think people are confusing the controller with a console itself rather than thinking of it as a display for the real console. - Ender Jun 8, 10:25
  - I hate that controller so much. -- nm - Krusty Jun 8, 09:56
  - My gut reaction was that the controller is clunky. I wonder how my son's little hands will, uh, handle it. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 8, 09:56
- I wonder...was there a lack of confidence for the Wii as well? You can trash them all you want, but Nintendo doesn't seem to have too many duds. -- nm - Jim Jun 8, 09:52 4
  - I think we all thought the Wii was stupid at first. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 09:54
  - How quickly we forget the Gamecube... -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 09:53 2
    - VirtualBoy, N64... -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 09:54 1
      - I don't think the N64 belongs on that list. It didn't sell as well as the PS, but it was no bomb. -- nm - Ender Jun 8, 10:00
OMG! Party! Today is World IPv6 Day1 -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 8, 09:51
