So our office building partcipates with PG&E in what they call Demand Response Events (reduce electrical use) which I think is great... - Stephen Aug 25, 11:12 6
- do you have a server room? when the computers go down, the AC will magically get adjusted. -- nm - loosilu Aug 25, 11:14 1

    - Just don't mix your hands up while wiping yourself, suzy. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 25, 11:22 1
      - Well, it *is* an iphone. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 11:23
It's a run on Wide Receivers -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:12 57
- *buys Randy Moss for $5 billion* -- nm - Warren Buffet Aug 25, 11:17
- I had no choice. You took three and I don't get another pick for a while. - Krusty Aug 25, 11:13 52
  - NWBR stole Vincent Jackson or I was taking him at 4 -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:15 51
    - If I didn't need a RB so badly I would have taken him #1. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 11:18 3
      - I actually thought you might go him anyway because of the value, but Blount's good. Solid. Get you numbers. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:22 2
        
        I really thought about but in the end I had to have a RB there. - Krusty Aug 25, 11:25 1
        
        *about it* -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 11:26
    - I had him two behind Blount. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:17
    - Wait, who did not *keep* VJack!?! -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 25, 11:16 45
      - Marty, apparently. (don't mind me, this is about another league) (nm) - musubi Aug 25, 11:20
      - He wasn't kept in Cavemen either. - Stephen Aug 25, 11:17
      - Samara becuase her 3 skill keepers were Chris Johnson, Andre Johnson and Jamaal Charles iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 11:16 42
        
        You are correct. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:18 24
        
        I think Kelly overpaid for Vick. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 25, 11:25 18
        
        If it's 2010 Michael Vick, getting 27ppg...no, she didn't. - Will Hunting Aug 25, 11:31 6
        
        you could also say that he's got a lot to prove still so may be way more motivated to do super well? - JenBro Aug 25, 11:36 3
        
        I don't play shrink...i just know that in 2010, he was dominant to a level that few players ever have been. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 11:37 2
        
        And the only thing that makes that trade even partly okay is I got him off the waiver wire. - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:38 1
        
        You got the 4th pick in a draft when you had a fallback who's a numberical top 5 guy....there's zero way you should feel bad - Will Hunting Aug 25, 11:40
        
        Maybe I'm just not as high on Vick as most people. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 25, 11:35
        
        He is awesome because he gets 1 point per 10 yards rushed. Then you get all the rushing TD's on top of the passing. - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:34
        
        I offered my late Round Two, but only because I thought our league would be cheap. I think he's Round One value for a team w/o an elite QB. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:28 2
        
        I would have dropped Rivers first -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:32 1
        
        Then the same offer would have been extended for him. (I have Rivers as the safer choice this year anyhow.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:33
        
        I don't think she overpaid for Vick, but I don't think she' got proper value for Matt Ryan. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 11:27 4
        
        What would you consider proper value? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 11:33 3
        
        iirc, she only moved up two rounds in exchange for him. didn't seem like enough. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 11:35 2
        
        It was swapping 5th for a 7th. - Strongbad Aug 25, 11:37
        
        I don't think there was a better deal to be had for Ryan. He's a fringy Top Ten option. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:36
        
        I would trade her back in a second. That was a hard pill I had to swallow. - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:26 2
        
        No way. - Strongbad Aug 25, 11:28 1
        
        Well I needed to find a person that needed a QB. Vick for a 1st round pick, IN A KEEPER League? where the talent is already taken mostly? - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:29
        
        well, except my dumb ass. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 11:19 4
        
        You were first out of the gate. That's almost always an overpay. (Think me and Forte last year.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:22 3
        
        Did I trade you Forte? I can't remember... -- nm - samara Aug 25, 11:23 1
        
        Yes. And then I got cute, thought I could claim him back in the 2nd of all rounds, so I dropped him in favour of.... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 25, 11:27
        
        I knew I'd gone overboard as soon as Redmond wrote me back so fast... but I was sort of stuck then. -- nm - TFox Aug 25, 11:22
        
        This is correct. -- nm - samara Aug 25, 11:18
        
        this sounds way more complex than anything I could ever handle -- nm - JenBro Aug 25, 11:18 15
        
        It puts the cheese on the trap, then you hear a big loud snap. -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:20 10
        
        NMB Bacon - JenBro Aug 25, 11:23 9
        
        Awesome! -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:24 8

        My girlfriend took me to the Bunny Ranch. I mean is she a keeper or what? -- nm - Bacon @Home Aug 25, 11:25 6

        oh well shoot ... then that's like she picked you up an issue of your fav men's mag - not at all what I thought! - JenBro Aug 25, 11:45
        
        seriously? taking your b/f to a cat house huh? that's something ... - JenBro Aug 25, 11:34 1

Mara's nifty hurricane tracker (link) - Jovian Aug 25, 11:07 4
