- Warrior - A. Sorry to repost that, but it's compelling filmmaking, and very emotional. -- nm - Jelly Sep 6, 08:01
- Columbiana B. I was surprised it was not just action fest. Had a good story and was not over the top. It was good an entertaining, even if not deep -- nm - JohnnyB Sep 6, 08:01

i haz been told that - tRuMaN Sep 6, 07:46 5
- our auditors are... stern. I don't really expect them to be warm and fuzzy. -- nm - mafic Sep 6, 07:59 1
  - yeah I get that, the thing is, its usually the partners/managers who do the warm and fuzzy - tRuMaN Sep 6, 08:03

- babies just pee less? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:05
- So glad I don't ever have to worry about that again! Wheeeeeee! - Jim Sep 6, 07:59
- YOUR ALL LAZY! -- nm - mafic Sep 6, 07:54
- That article doesn't say anything about the rise of cloth diapers (which are also associated with diaper rash). -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:52 2
  - I think we are going to be using cloth for our primary diapers and disposables when out or visiting. -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 07:55 1
    - Are you using a service? Otherwise... - Fighting Stephen! Sep 6, 08:07

  - dude, between formula and diapers, you best start selling your ass on the street. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 07:52 8
    - Hoping formula is not going to be a necessity... -- nm - kelly Sep 6, 08:01 1
      - yeah, in reality, either way, you probably will have to have some on hand anyways. - groiny Sep 6, 08:03
    - recommendation: start signing up now at Huggies/Pampers/etc websites, they will send a ton of free stuff plus coupons galore -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 07:54 1
      - Hmmm had not thought of this....thanks :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 07:56
    - I would say look at my ass, do you think people are paying for this? But you already are looking at my ass, so that's just wasted words. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:53
    - And then the fun starts - daycare costs (and college savings too!)! -- nm - Don Homer Sep 6, 07:53
    - [deleted] 1
      - well, yeah, he only sells it in the alleys now. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 07:52
  - we loved the Walmart brand diapers. Waaay cheaper and we found they worked as good as the more expensive Huggies or Pampers -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 07:48 8
    - The Costco brand is what we've used for the last three years. - Fighting Stephen! Sep 6, 08:01 5
      - a friend recommended the Target brand, and the first poop, blew out the diaper. - groiny Sep 6, 08:05 3
        
        Dude, it wasn't the baby's fault, no need to punch them in the face. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:05 2
        
        just wait til you have to wipe guacamole off the baby's neck. - groiny Sep 6, 08:06 1

      - (we just got our Costco earlier this month :) or else we probably would have done that too) -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 08:02
    - *nods* He's still going to be put to work asap. Like old enough to babble, he's old enough to be a manager for a Starbucks -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:50 1

        This is why your smack-talk lacks heart. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:54 1
        
        it's all an act to make my opponent less wary. Then I strike! - Beaker Sep 6, 07:55

Purdue University has developed "Batmanning." Similar to planking except this one can kill you very easily. -- (link) - MDH Sep 6, 07:28 2
- awesome darwin was right -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 07:37
- Batman does not kill! (or he didn't anyway, who knows what the stupid DC reboot will bring) -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 07:33

- Watched SportsCenter this weekend and they again called for Tebow to be cut. I actually agree with them. - MDH Sep 6, 07:26 12
  - Becuase he's going to get paid anyhow and if you keep him, you can grow him and stagger out his contract value for additional years. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:32 3
    - Not only that...but he signed a 5-year $9mil contract. It's not like he's a huge salary or cap hit. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 07:34 2
      - I just want to know when 2nd year project QB's were supposed to be world-beaters? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:36 1
        
        2nd year projects QB's who, by the way, couldn't contact their coaches all off-season. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 07:36
  - That would be absolutely retarded. I predicted this last year and I'll predict it again this year...Tebow will have more rushing TDs than Knowshon. - Jim Sep 6, 07:30
  - [deleted] 6
    - Not to mention he handily outplayed Quinn. if Brady Quinn ever sees the field, we all know Elway is playing for Andrew Luck. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 07:30 5
      - If Orton is playing as well as people say, don't even see how they're in the Luck sweepstakes anyhow -- nm - budice Sep 6, 07:32 4
        
        Orton played well last year; they got the #2 pick. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:33 1
        
        Thank you. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 07:34

My 2 weekend observations: First, those Maryland uniforms are the ugliest uniforms in the history of sports. Second the people who put together the - pmb Sep 6, 07:18 22
- I just don't see it. They aren't the best by a long shot (that would be Penn State's unis), but they are world's better than many other team uniforms - Don Homer Sep 6, 07:20 2
  - If you cut off the uniforms from the sternum up, they weren't bad.. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:31
  - (Last night's shoes were rather ugly though.) -- nm - Don Homer Sep 6, 07:21
- yes to the im. -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 07:19
- I need a picture of these infamous uniforms. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:19 17
  - All I've got to say is with 32 different combinations (not all will be worn obv.) we are in for some fun times. -- nm - MDH Sep 6, 07:34 4
    - looking through the slideshow, I have to say I like the flag variant a lot better than any of the other combinations. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 07:49
    - If you need different uniforms to be in for fun times, you ain't a sports fan. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:35 2
      - I wonder if a large portion of college football fans are not actually sports fans, per se. - znufrii Sep 6, 07:58
      - Oh I don't, but people that are casual fans will stay tuned and at least give UMD press. -- nm - MDH Sep 6, 07:55
  - [deleted] 11
    - Someone texted into Mike and Mike that it seems that the football team stole the uni's from the varsity Quidditch team. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 07:31
    - Trying to steal college football games with the cunning use of flags, I see. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 07:25
    - It looks like they had a contest to pick the uniform and couldn't decide on a winner so they just mashed them together. -- nm - pmb Sep 6, 07:24
    - they certainly are distracting. -- nm - colin Sep 6, 07:22
    - I like them. great recognition factor. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:22 3
      - They're changing them again next week. They have more uniforms than they have games. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 07:34

        I don't think it's nearly that bad. blue turf makes me nauseous. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:23
    - they aren't great, but i don't find them as hate-worthy as everyone is making out. -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 07:22 1
      - right. No where close to the worst. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 6, 07:23
    - It looks like they're trying to hide from Japanese fighter planes at sea. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 07:21
The only way I'm convinced on Peyton is for him to not be on the field come gametime. -- nm - budice Sep 6, 07:16

- translation: Afraid they can't find a job in this economy, they found any excuse to stay in school. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:18 4
  - And they are in debt *only* $100,000!!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 07:25 3
    - uh, probably 2-3x that number -- nm - decline Sep 6, 07:26 1
      - after law school? yep. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:32
    - only? I'd think it'd be quite a bit more than that, actually. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 07:26
- "you're hired" Now go read these 15 boxes of files and provide a 10 page summary by tomorrow...welcome aboard! -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 07:17

For Canadians: Tom Clark is leaving CTV for Global....(link) - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 07:13
I'm still kinda surprised at the response my petting of Addai and Delone Carter got after the Peyton news broke - Beaker Sep 6, 07:10 4

creepiest. tattoo. ever. -- (link) - znufrii Sep 6, 07:09 5
- that's a real tattoo? it's not even that good. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:44 2
  - apparently, that's a digital recreation for Fashion Week, but it is based on an actual person with that tattoo. Look up Zombie Boy. - znufrii Sep 6, 07:46 1
    - just did. huh. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 07:50

so much for the buffett premium. bank of america -18% in five days at $6.86, a far cry from the $8.80 after the 5 billion inflow..... - x Sep 6, 07:08 6
- How is Cramer still on tv? If it's his schtick, then predict football scores, or something. Probably better ratings there. -- nm - Mop Sep 6, 07:20
- Cramer advice is opposite play, right? - Epiphany Sep 6, 07:09 3
  - unless you like losing money!....nm - x Sep 6, 07:12 1
