    - I'm not sure if that's it, or if it's that (spoils) - Jim Aug 30, 10:37
Poll. Do you have an article of clothing that is a magnet for stains? I am wearing that shirt today. I always get something (food, Groiny) on it. - bc/nc Aug 30, 10:34 9
- And now I realize my phrasing to stop Groiny from assuming something else is actually worse. -- nm - bc/nc Aug 30, 10:36 5
  - heh heh -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:37
  - Once you get some groiny on your shirt, it's time to burn it -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 10:36 3

- oooh, can we do that here too? - znufrii Aug 30, 10:35
- How can the US require the UN to do anything? (By legislation, I mean, not by, say, reducing the US contribution to UN funding) -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 10:34 3
  - probably only as a condition for the US paying its dues - znufrii Aug 30, 10:37
  - Require? Doubtful. But doesn't the UN exist through countries funding it? Can they generate revenue themselves? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 30, 10:36 1
    - I'm just quoting the article. Probably znu has the right answer - the legislation places conditions on US funding for the UN, and one of them is - Roger More Aug 30, 10:41

- get ready to be mildly entertained! -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 10:33 1
  - at best -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 10:33
Cap, you should almost never have 2 defenses rostered. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 30, 10:31 3
- In our league, we have 14 teams and 17-man rosters. - Strongbad Aug 30, 10:39
- I plan to go in tonight and see what I can pick up but we are pretty dry for WR and RB decvent talent IMO 10 teams 18 roster spots -- nm - Capstern Aug 30, 10:34 1

  - An Irish and Trojan fan? - Stephen Aug 30, 10:24 12
    - [deleted] 10
      - Probably cause you're punch drunk from the beating you took from Woody. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:28 6

    - the Irish are Catholics, so Trojans are banned! -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:24
  - I postulate that it's impossible for a sane human being to love both the Trojans and Irish. - musubi Aug 30, 10:22
I may be alone on this (or not): the Irene media issue I took issue with was not the amount of coverage, but the tone of some coverage. - ty97 Aug 30, 10:18 11
- This argument is so tiresome, don't you think? The for-profit media is out toget ratings, and yes, that involves scaring people into watching. - con_carne Aug 30, 10:25 6
  - complaining about weather media hype is like complaining about negative campaigning... - x Aug 30, 10:28 3
    - Quite to the contrary. I'm not a fool, I understand that both are very effective. - ty97 Aug 30, 10:30 2
      - a) i'm not calling you a fool. b) all i'm saying is that they do it because it works... - x Aug 30, 10:35 1
        
        I know you aren't call me a fool, and I get the business model. - ty97 Aug 30, 10:46
  - I'm every so sorry to have annoyed you by having an opinion. - ty97 Aug 30, 10:28 1
    - It's like clockwork on ST, someone always has to be sooo surprised with the sensationalism of journalism -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 10:41
- I didn't really notice a difference between Irene and every other major weather event of the past 10 years. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 30, 10:20 2
  - same here. It looked exactly the same. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:24
  - It's certainly not a new phenomenon or unique to Irene. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 10:23

Three Musketeers chocolate bars are bliss. Pure creamy chocolatey bliss. - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:17 35 1
- Watchamacallits are pretty awesome too. -- nm - The Doctor Aug 30, 10:24 2
  - I thought you preferred fish fingers and custard -- nm - znufrii Aug 30, 10:26 1
    - Silly znufrii, holograms don't eat food. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:27
- 3M is what you have to eat after you broke all your teeth on a Heath Bar. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:24
- Twix...now there's a bar we can all agree is awesome. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 30, 10:23 16
  - You mis-spelled Reeses Peanut Butter Cups -- nm - Strongbad Aug 30, 10:33 3
    - I only like the bite-size ones wrapped in Holiday-colored foil. Be it Christmas, Easter or Halloween. -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 10:38 1
      - I like the bite size ones better also. I think the PB ratio is higher. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 30, 10:42
    - Those are a disc, or a cup, not a bar. However, Reese Whips are a bar, and they are delicious. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:35
  - Trivia: Twix in Italy are called Raiders -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 10:27
  - I agree that it is awesome, I disagree that we can all agree (This. Is. SLACKERTALK!) ... heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:26 1
    - Kit Kat! -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 10:27
  - Wrong. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:26
  - Eww. -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 10:25 6
    - You're joking, right? (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:31 5
      - It's a sub-par cookie with chocolate on it. What's to love? -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 10:45
      - he dislikes Hershey kisses, so.... broken. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 10:32 3
        
        I like the peanut butter and the almond kisses. The plain Hershey's chocolate, though, is just average chocolate. If I want just chocolate I'll buy - TWuG Aug 30, 10:46
        
        Kisses are just lumps of chocolate. Good for what they are, but not candy bar greatness like Twix. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:34
        
        you keep your lumps of waxy chocolate. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:33
  - this. -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 10:23
- I will trade you a 3M for a Whatchamacalit 100% of the time. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:21 5
  - Word. I like 3M's but love Whatchamacallit's. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 10:23
  - I would trade BBJ's mom for a Take5 any day of the week and twice on Sundays. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:22 3
    - my fav - remember those ones called: Toffifay? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 30, 10:27 2
      - carmel chocolate hazelnut goodness. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:30 1
        
        yes!! I had to explain to SM what these were - cause he never had anything with real hazel nuts in him - Epiphany Aug 30, 10:36
- I don't mind them, but they're too sweet most of the time. Take 5 are the perfect candy bar. (nm) - musubi Aug 30, 10:20
- I dislike 3 Musketeers. It's a texture issue. I also dislike Hershey's bars and kisses. I love Snickers, Payday and Almond Joy -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 10:20
- agreed. although I'll eat a Milky Way happily as well. - Mel Profit Aug 30, 10:19
- it's not even like real chocolate. it's like chemical chocolate foam. -- nm - TFox Aug 30, 10:19 2
  - chemical chocolate foam might actually be better than a 3M bar. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 30, 10:22 1
    - Mocholate -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 10:28
- wrong-o - where's David? lets get his level of crazy on this matter! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 30, 10:18
- Milky Way (esp Midnight) is my favorite. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 10:17
I watched Forbidden Planet last night...Still great, but surprised it has not been redone -- nm - amoxy Aug 30, 10:15
Because you care: the reigning Magic world champion recieved a three year ban from competitive play in the spring. - Tim Aug 30, 10:14 3
- I hope he updated his online dating site profiles accordingly -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 10:15
- nerdiest first ever! -- nm - Tim Aug 30, 10:15 1
