- I saw a description of an opinion piece on NPR.org about social networking. "It makes me more connected to people outside my life..." - Six Degrees of Vermin Aug 26, 10:04 1
  - that's an interesting way of putting it. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 10:05
- FUCK NO! -- nm - BART commuters Aug 26, 09:59
The Jack Layton coverage up here has hit plaid. Just saw a headline: "Jack Layton 'Our Diana'" - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 09:58 13
- it has gotten insane. and i liked the guy. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 10:13
- er, no. Christine Blatchford is still the turd in the punchbowl, though. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 10:01 1
  - What amazes me is the goodwill directed towards what was so obviously a finely crafted political document. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 10:15
- Bullshit. Now they're pissing on my grief. *hate* -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 26, 10:00
- I'm sorry, who? -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 09:59 8

    - exactly -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 10:05 5
      - it's as if the leader of the republican party died. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 10:13 4
        
        I'm assuming you mean McCain... few would miss Michael Steele. He's an asshat. -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 10:17 3
        
        heh For a second I thought she was referring to Reagan's funeral, and was about to get fighty. - Stephen Aug 26, 10:19 1
        
        i didn't actually mean a specific person. i just meant politically it's comparable. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 10:28
        
        you mean Reince Priebus. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 10:18
Strongbad, I love CJ....just not that much. I do love to trade though, for the record. -- nm - samara Aug 26, 09:56 1
- If you have a counter, let me know. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 10:00
Okay, we have our first check from the insurance company and they never asked for the destroyed stuff. - David Aug 26, 09:54 16
- Two whole quarters? [sigh] I can sell you this Archie and Jughead #23 with smoke damage. It's in the case next to the very rare Mary Worth in which - Comic Book Buy Aug 26, 10:04
- I don't deal in comics but in disposing my books, the number one rule is "If they smell, they can't sell" - Max Aug 26, 10:01 3
  - We're not trying to sell them. Just give them. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 26, 10:02 2
    - Right, I'm not even sure we could sell them since we claimed them as a loss. - David Aug 26, 10:04 1
      - right, but that's the excuse sellers give for not even accepting donations. But Goodwill might take them. -- nm - Max Aug 26, 10:05
- this human torch comic is in smell-o-vision!....nm - x Aug 26, 09:59 1
  - Don't give Robert Rodriguez any ideas. -- nm - David Aug 26, 10:00
- do you have a children's hospital nearby? -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 09:56 7
  - We have several in the area with children's wards but I would think the smoke would be a bigger issue there. -- nm - David Aug 26, 09:59 6
    - Yup. How about a local library? -- nm - Stephen Aug 26, 10:00 3
      - I'm not sure our libraries stock comics. Dollface? -- nm - David Aug 26, 10:01 2
        
        I know that they have graphic novels. Not so sure about comics. - Kim Pine Aug 26, 10:02 1
        
        i would think the chances would be low....nm - x Aug 26, 10:03
    - We actually have a Children's Hospital. But you're probably right about the smoke being an issue. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 26, 09:59 1
      - Ronald McDonald House? -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 10:04
- "It's like reading a comic and smoking a cigarette at the same time!" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:56
Hunting, how many Blood Feud titles have you won? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:51 10
- 16. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:55 9
  - I take that as none. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:55 8
    - Yep. I'm one of those who've not been fortunate at the right time. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:55 7
      - so you have won as many as I have. - groiny Aug 26, 09:56 6
        
        You don't demote non winners dummy. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:57 5
        
        It warms my heart that you two lovebirds still pick at each other after all these years. -- nm - samara Aug 26, 10:01 2
        
        it is not your heart that I should be warming. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 10:04 1
        
        The bile in her throat has done a suitable job at what you're intending. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 10:06
        
        the mere fact that Stacy beat the best fantasy football team I have ever put together - groiny Aug 26, 10:01 1
        
        Season records over time is a better indication of overall performance, I agree. -- nm - David Aug 26, 10:02
LYC: Sweet. My college radio station just played the ~SHE GET HIGH!~ version of Break On Through to the Other Side -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 09:50 1
- I got the 1960-'s music tv station on. Henry the 8'th is on now -- nm - peglegpete Aug 26, 09:54

- It's impossible to be as fearful of quakes as weather events. They just over so quickly, and of course there's no warning for quakes. -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 09:52 2
  - earthquakes aren't weather! -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 09:58 1
    - Okay -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 10:08
- Living in Florida through Andrew was pretty intense. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:50 2

    - I think we were without power for... almost a week. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:56

David, I saw Stacy pop on ST yesterday complaining about not being able to get on the draft board - amoxy Aug 26, 09:46 19
- Yeah, he responded to her in that same thread. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 09:47
- Yep, in that same thread. Stacy then said this is another reason for Stacy to not show up here anymore. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:47 17
  - I specifically emailed Stacy and told Stacy when the draft started and when keepers were due. - Kim Pine Aug 26, 09:53
  - Were I in that league, I would have supported the decision. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 26, 09:48 14
    - I regret that it came to this but she showed no interest in signing up or picking keepers. -- nm - David Aug 26, 09:50 12
      - I don't think you should regret it at all. - Stephen Aug 26, 09:59 6
        
        and it's two years running for this shtick. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 10:05 1
        
        Her keeping Westbrook last year was all the indication I needed that she just wasn't that interested in the league anymore. - Stephen Aug 26, 10:20
        
        I even just double checked my email to make sure I told Stacy the right day. - Kim Pine Aug 26, 10:01 3
        
        stacy is a turing test....nm - x Aug 26, 10:08 2
        
        oh, all the time I spent messing with ELIZA. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 10:12
        
        I laughed. (nm) - Kim Pine Aug 26, 10:09
      - It's hard being a commissioner. Why am I talking? -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 09:55 1
        
        ~it's hard out there for a commish~ -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 09:56
      - he -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:52 1
        
        We should go with Will's method :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 26, 09:54
      - not a big loss at all. don't fret it. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:51
    - no complaints here -- nm - Beaker Aug 26, 09:48

So does anyone want to do a DVD wager on Julio vs. AJ Green's production this year? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:45 21
- If it can be Blu-Ray (with say a $20 price limit), sure. - David Aug 26, 09:49 8
  - Yards? TD's? - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:54 7
    - Agreed on the injury clause. Let's say $15 limit then to make it even. Calcs inside... - David Aug 26, 09:58 4
      - Sounds good. - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:59 3
        
        Let's say play in 14 games. Agreed? -- nm - David Aug 26, 10:00 2
        
        Sounds good to me. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 10:01
        
        Add the cluase that drug suspensions don't void it. Only injury. :) -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 10:00
    - WHy not pure fantasy points since that's the measuring stick here. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:57 1
      - I'm fine with that too. BF points? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:57
- I picked up Julio yesterday, so I will take him -- nm - amoxy Aug 26, 09:46
- which side are you on? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 26, 09:45 10
  - Julio. Will and David think I'm crazy. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:46 9
    - I don't think you're crazy, I think you're wrong for the reasons David and I share. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:48 8
      - The way I see it, Ryan's going to throw twice as many TD's as Dalton this year. - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:49 7
        
        Anyone looking to draft on TD's from a WR/TE is looking down the wrong path imo. They are for the most part, variable. - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:52 4
        
        I'll give you catches for Green, but I'll take Julio for yards and TD's. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:53 3
        
        The way I see it, the realistic goal for Julio is 600-800 yards with 1,000 an outside possibility. - David Aug 26, 09:56 2
        
        I see Julio with 800 and 8, and I don't see AJ with either of those. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:57 1
        
        I think JJ is a better football player, but I think AJ has a great chance at 1,000 receiving yards this year. -- nm - David Aug 26, 09:58
        
        Harry Douglas is the big beneficiary in all of this. -- nm - David Aug 26, 09:50 1
        
        Douglas will get catches and yards, but I don't see him as a red zone target. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 09:52
Illustrator for Time's cover wisely decides not to go with another X over a eliminated bad guy's face. -- (link) - mara Aug 26, 09:44 7
- that's a great cover -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 09:51 1
  - "Like sand in the hourglass, so are the Gaddafis of our Lives" -- nm - con_carne Aug 26, 09:55
- Relevance. I has it. -- nm - paper time magazine Aug 26, 09:49
- Well, Steve Job ain't dead yet. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 26, 09:46
- That's pretty clever. -- nm - TWuG Aug 26, 09:45
- poor white Michael Vick -- nm - Beaker Aug 26, 09:44 1
  - *snort* -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 09:46
sunshine, lolypops & rainbows -- nm - peglegpete Aug 26, 09:44 3
- Incense and peppermints. -- nm - TWuG Aug 26, 09:45 2
  - Unicorns! -- nm - Beaker Aug 26, 09:49 1
    - empanadas are the new unicorns. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 09:55
