    - Yes, it's hard to imagine he and his daughter haven't noticed this over 9 years. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 6, 12:08 6
      - Disagreed on the daughter, agreed on the father. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 12:10 2

- little did they know it was all part of my heist plan. -- nm - Max Sep 6, 11:44
I hate Week 1 in an NFL Survivor Pool. ML (or anyone, I guess) convince me that the Chargers aren't the pick this week. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 11:43 22
- is it a buyback pool though? then save the better teams for when the buyback period has expired -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 12:03
- the Browns have a huge line against Cincy...(listening to TSG and Sal bet the game lines :) ) -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 11:59 1
  - Also, New England may be another team to consider. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 12:01
- I'm going back & forth between Houston & San Diego. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 6, 11:58
- Because they choke away games they should win in the first half of the season every damn year. -- nm - David Sep 6, 11:58 1
  - New England is the winning answer. -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:02
- Houston over Indy. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:50 1
  - If I had any faith in Houston at all, I'd make that pick. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 11:54
- KC over the Bills maybe? -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 11:48 7
  - MC is injured. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:50 6
    - no he isnt. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:52
    - [deleted]
    - it's the Bills -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 11:51 3
      - See? These are trap games the first week. There's no guarantee that Buffalo will suck again. Even less of a guarantee that KC will be worth a crap. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 11:54 1
        
        but...it's the Bills! :) -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 11:57
      - KC was my dark horse pick a year ago. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:51
- [deleted] 5
  - I hate it, but that's who I went with. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 11:55 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - Every time the Chargers lose, an angel sticks his dick in Philip Rivers' ear. -- nm - TFox Sep 6, 12:01 2
        
        That is one seriously dicked ear. Rivers chokes more than an MMA fighter. -- nm - David Sep 6, 12:06
        
        MVP! -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 12:04
Plants are not needed!! -- nm - kelly Sep 6, 11:39 6
- Just astroturf it, and then cut little miniature golf holes into them every so often. -- nm - TFox Sep 6, 11:47
- Are you going to put in raised beds - like square foot gardening? Grow herbs, etc. - tips from Dano perhaps? -- nm - JenBro Sep 6, 11:46
- why not? Plants are fun, and there are tons of low-maintenance things you can get to make it look nicer :) -- nm - decline Sep 6, 11:43
- maybe you need sculpture. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:40 1
  - Rocks! -- nm - mara Sep 6, 11:41
- It's like you learned nothing from DIY Network. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:39
Loosi....the black and yellow might be graphically badass.....however, there's also the red and white half that put it all together - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:38 4
- I know, I know. I just like it. and I like the state flag as well - it's almost medieval. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:40 3
  - "The flag of the state of Maryland consists of the coat of arms of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore." - znufrii Sep 6, 11:42 1
    - what'd I tell you? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:43
  - imagine that from a state whose official sport is jousting :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 11:41
story on Cooper Manning (Peyton and Eli's big brother) & his spinal stenoisis (which Edge from the WWE has).... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 6, 11:38
I like that Nikki Finke website that's about Nikki Finke and also posts some entertainment news -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:36 2
- It's an annoying legacy tendency for journalist. No one care who breaks a story anymore. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 11:58
- Yeah...I had to comment on that. obnoxious. -- nm - Jim Sep 6, 11:39
ST Poll -- best/worst US State flag designs - znufrii Sep 6, 11:35 29
- My general starting criteria for a decent flag is if a 1st grader could reasonably draw it. (This eliminates pretty much all of them that have a seal.) - Ender Sep 6, 12:00 1
  - I think by those criteria, Alaska automatically wins (since it was drawn by a child). -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 12:10
- Hipsters wear the CA flag T-shirt lately... but it is pretty cool. Also, I like South Carolina's. Seems evocative and peaceful. - con_carne Sep 6, 11:52
- ~ eight stars of gold on a field of blue - Alaska's flag. May it mean to you. ~ Subpoll: does your state have a flag SONG? Did you have to learn it? -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 6, 11:45 3
  - no, just the state song which I learned and do not remember, "Oregon, My Oregon" - znufrii Sep 6, 11:53 1
    - "Unlike two other similarly named state songs�"Maryland, My Maryland" and "Michigan, My Michigan"�" - znufrii Sep 6, 11:54
  - probably not, and no. (referring to the MA state flag, since MA is where I spent most of my childhood) -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:50
- Oregon and Wisconsin are brutal. -- nm - TFox Sep 6, 11:44 7
  - We have a beaver on the back! -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 6, 12:11
  - Wisconsin looks like my computer couldn't find the font, so it chose a random crappy font for displaying the letters -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:48
  - hey, you got to give Oregon credit for originality for being the only flag with two different sides to it - znufrii Sep 6, 11:45 4
    - Is the other side roadkill? -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:55 3
      - Only when playing Sacramento State - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:56 2
        
        :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 12:00
        
        heh -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 11:58
- I was looking at this the other day, and realised that Georgia didn't put the Stars & Bars on their state flag until 1956. - Roger More Sep 6, 11:42
- We've got a bear on our flag. Beat that! -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 11:41 4
  - heh heh heh -- nm - Redmond si Sep 6, 11:43
  - we've got SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS! ... and a circle of red flowers. - loosilu Sep 6, 11:43 2
    - and a dead guy, so there is that -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 11:45
    - Flowers on a state flag = huge fail! -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 11:44
- I've always liked the stripe pattern on Hawaii and the non-traditional shape of Ohio's flag -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 11:41 1
  - I've also always liked the end stripe on Tennessee and the field of green for Washington -- nm - crash davis Sep 6, 11:43
- Colorado's....and shockingly, Rhode Island's flag is smallest. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 11:40
- When did Indiana join the EU? -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 6, 11:39 2
  - We were here first. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:41
  - I like New Mexico's flag quite a bit. -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 6, 11:41
- Best: AZ. Worst: the 50% of state flags that consist of the state seal on a blue field. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 11:37
- I like that our flag was pretty much usead as the Gotham City flag by Tim Burton. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:37
LIR: Ruiner: I turned that on last night also. I can't say it helped a lot but I did feel a bit more effective - oblique Sep 6, 11:34 15
- It really just takes a lot of time. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:39 3
  - and keep in mind that the assault rifle is only really effective at close range - medium to long range, it is like throwing sand. - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:43 2
    - I guess, but it seems the same guy firing at me takes me down at the same range - oblique Sep 6, 11:52 1
      - well that could be for many reasons. - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:53
- you know, you might want to consider changing the controller setup - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:37 10
  - I was looking into that last night when I found the options. I couldn't decide if another layout would make things better - oblique Sep 6, 11:39 9
    - Green Thumb is good for run-and-gun players (and stealthy close-range players, too), because it demotes the zooming function and makes melee higher -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:40 8
      - er, higher priority. Click-to-melee makes way more sense in close-quarters combat than click-to-zoom. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:40 7
        
        *shrug* it seems natural to me as the default with Melee on the right shoulder button since I'm using my right trigger to fire - oblique Sep 6, 11:42 6
        
        Agreed. Some of these suggestions remind me more of the older Halo settings. - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:44 3
        
        you are wrong, so very often, this is also one of those things. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:45 2
        
        I just checked and 90% of all Reach players use the default settings! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:47 1
        
        ie, the ones that never actually play -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:50
        
        well, see, what it does allow you to do is hit both button nearly simultaneously - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:44
        
        I think the default is for X to be Melee ... which doesn't make any sense. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:43
[deleted]
Green Thumb + Toggle Crouch = win -- nm - Beryllium Sep 6, 11:34 1
- add razr onza and remap zoom to the third shoulder button. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 11:38
no comment -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 11:33
JP Morgan, get the fucj away from my Legos!!! -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 6, 11:33
