I hate you all: the saturday morning adventures of maria and mandy this week will be pumpkin choco chip cookies. - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:54 3
- I made those for holiday baskets a few years ago - I'll see if I can find the recipe. iirc, I converted a vegan one to non-vegan. -- nm - b. Sep 7, 11:01 2
  - obvs there are recipes online, but always it's better to use an already-tried one. thanks. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 11:05

This might make a fun game. Every month, some number of STers start a new screenname. (Let's say 3 people are chosen by a gamemaster, from a pool of - mara Sep 7, 10:49 22
- It's all fun and games until we start yelling at some real newbie for being groiny in disguise -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 10:57 3
  - "STUNT COCK!!!!" nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 10:58 2
    - *giggle* -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 10:59
    - once the bat comes out, there's no going back -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 10:58

- I already do this. Little do you know, in my spare time, I am Inigo, CQ *and* hotkiss. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:53 1
  - *shriek* -- nm - b. Sep 7, 10:54
- This sounds fun. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 7, 10:52 8
  - it would only work if there were regularly new posters showing up -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 10:53 7
    - Plus you'd have to be posting as yourself as well, otherwise people would figure it out by who wasn't posting. -- nm - ceregon Sep 7, 11:01 2
      - I'm already looking forward to staging fights with myself. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 7, 11:05
      - yup, too easy. You'd need the other newbies to blend in. -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 11:01
    - No, you don't have to guess which ones are vets, you'd have to guess which vet the newbie is. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:55 2
      - Subtle things like syntax and typing habits would give us away. We all have them. -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 10:56 1
        
        Word. -- nm - Not Jim Sep 7, 10:57
    - Why? We'd all know it was us. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 10:54
- please, no. -- nm - b. Sep 7, 10:51 1
  - b. iz smart. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:52
- my smack talk mastery would give it away in seconds - Beaker Sep 7, 10:50 2
  - Ambush Beaker!! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 11:00 1
    - in bed! -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 11:02
Blood Feud! -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 10:45 2
- I love the fact that the season hasn't even started and I'm already benching my 1st round pick. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 11:00 1
  - The obvious solution is to draft better. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 7, 11:08
dammit - i spent a lot of time writing a big explanation to cappie and it got LIR. so, i'm reposting. so there. - Andie Sep 7, 10:38 [Backboard] 81
- I agree with everything here but #4. - Will Hunting Sep 7, 11:04
- this makes sense -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 10:55
- I totally agree with 1-3. 4 is true, but I don't blame him for lashing out. - musubi, Benevolent Autocrat Sep 7, 10:47 31
  - People get what they want out of ST. If you only want it to be your sounding board/advice columnist, that's fine. But if you're inventing the need for - Reagen Sep 7, 10:50 30
    - fine, but I just don't see how A leads to B here. - znufrii Sep 7, 10:57 6
      - because he said, "you thought A, but it was really B"? you take ST at face value except for that one post? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:58 5
        
        You're misreading my point - znufrii Sep 7, 11:03 4
        
        I will say that since the Skagnetti incident, any blatant attempt to mislead leaves a very bad taste in my mouth -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 11:06
        
        because if i was like, "hey znu, I'm going to do meth. it looks fun." and you were like, "dude, don't. meth is bad, it'll ruin your life." - TFox Sep 7, 11:06 2
        
        it all depends on how much interest I have vested in him telling me the truth in the first place. - znufrii Sep 7, 11:09
        
        Meth is great though, right? -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 11:07
    - the marriage stuff was all true, though. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:53
    - Yeah, I don't think he was inventing anything. - musubi Sep 7, 10:51 21
      - me, too. otoh, for you, from b2 - you're wrong, about some of us anyway. - b. Sep 7, 10:53 11
        
        I am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone being "not real". It's human nature to put on faces for different situations. - musubi Sep 7, 11:00 7
        
        You and znu can switch back now. No more peeing in magic fountains for either of you. -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 11:07
        
        I posted something similar recently to your first part, but you lose me for the last. - b. Sep 7, 11:05 [Backboard]
        
        absolutely true. however, no-one else (i'm pretty sure) is attempting (however poorly) to build an identity un-related to their reality. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 11:03 1
        
        I guess I figure, if reality were kicking me in the groin the way his reality is kicking him in the groin, I'd be temped to say, "it's most fake" too. - musubi Sep 7, 11:08
        
        is this sabermetrics? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 11:00 2
        
        Sabermoosetrics. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 11:01
        
        bubermetrics. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 11:01
        
        Word. I'm pretty much exactly the same in real life as I am here. - Jim Sep 7, 10:56 2
        
        No you are not...I have met you and you are really Tyra Banks -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:57 1
        
        So you're saying I don't post as sexy as I really am? -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 11:00
      - it amounts to the same thing - Reagen Sep 7, 10:53 3
        
        fwiw, I think it's been pretty pathetic. - b. Sep 7, 10:58
        
        I guess I get that, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't even move the needle for me. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:56
        
        yeah, this too. "you're all dumb." -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:55
      - but it's insulting to us in any case. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:53 4
        
        It wasn't insulting to all of us -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:54 3
        
        well, you have met him, correct? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 10:59 2
        
        Yeah, and I liked the guy I met. I guess I did not get upset with the previous stuff that was posted - amoxy Sep 7, 11:01 1
        
        see, that is the difference. - groiny Sep 7, 11:04
- I think that says it pretty clearly. - pmb Sep 7, 10:45
- despite what the other people below say, your response blows - crash davis Sep 7, 10:44 5
  - pfffft, i got andie to swear at me once. you're gonna have to go some to get there....nm - x Sep 7, 10:46 2
    - I'll pull a Cyrano and get dignan to write my material -- nm - crash davis Sep 7, 10:50 1
      - speaking of which, kinda odd that he's been nonexistent since this has all been going down, no? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 7, 10:58
  - screw you! - Andie Sep 7, 10:45 1
    - as they say, drop the zero and get with the hero -- nm - crash davis Sep 7, 10:46
- I'm with groiny - I don't have the time to bother to figure out what's real or not. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:44 12
  - The desperate need for attention is all too real. -- nm - David Sep 7, 10:55 1
    - yep. -- nm - b. Sep 7, 11:10
  - Yep. Don't know, don't want to know, don't care (nm) - Brian Sep 7, 10:54
  - neither do I, so I just pretty much take everything here at face value, and respond accordingly if warranted. - znufrii Sep 7, 10:51
  - Few people do. I think that's just one reason it's a big no-no to lie on ST -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 10:48
  - *shrug* Doesn't really bother me. But I wasn't bothered all that much by the Car Crash Hoax either. (nm) - musubi, Benevolent Autocrat Sep 7, 10:48 2
    - I wasn't much bothered by the car crash hoax because I didn't fully believe it. I wasn't much bothered by JohnnyB because he was uninteresting. -- nm - mara Sep 7, 10:50 1
      - This too. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:54
  - *SCREEN PRINTS THIS POST* - groiny Sep 7, 10:45 2
    - I know, I'm scared too. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:45 1
      - ...hold me. (nm) - ReyRey si Sep 7, 10:49
  - it's a black hole....nm - x Sep 7, 10:44
- ooh, now do me! -- nm - Max Sep 7, 10:43 4
  - You really need to work on your pick up lines. -- nm - pmb Sep 7, 10:46 2
    - "I have high thread counts, low interest rates, and a big lot." -- nm - Max Sep 7, 10:48 1
      - have we talked about my parking lot repaving nightmare (currently ongoing)? I would *love* a big lot. - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:52
  - heh -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:44
- this is a very kind and sincerely nice post to an icky ST happening - hoping it can resolve things - JenBro Sep 7, 10:43
- Ok, I've been in and out...are we seriously STILL doing this? -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 10:42 16
  - That's Jim's Saturday night love making to a tee. -- nm - Shaun Sep 7, 11:02
  - he's back and attacking and doesn't seem to think the reaction he's getting is justified. - Andie Sep 7, 10:44 13
    - Do me after you do Max! -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 10:55
    - Judge Andie has spoken! We now know "the law". Thanks, Judge Andie! - TWuG Sep 7, 10:49 2
      - :) - Andie Sep 7, 10:54
      - hee. I was getting an "Ape has killed Ape!" vibe. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:51
    - I really didn't mean that directly to you...just in general. I can't believe this is still going around and around. - Jim Sep 7, 10:46 8
      - It surprised you that Cappie is misunderstanding reactions and still trying to justify himself? - mara Sep 7, 10:52 6
        
        No, it surprised me that ST is still playing with him. Normally, we'd have moved on to something new. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 10:53 5
        
        of course we wouldn't. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:54 4
        
        its like he doesn't even know us -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 10:59 1
        
        I would like to think eventually we'll stop kicking horse. nm - Jim Sep 7, 11:04
        
        the queen speaks the truth. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:57 1
        
        if there is on true thing about ST, it's that we never drop anything. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:57
      - ST is nothing if not repetitive. -- nm -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 10:47
  - ST is nothing if not repetitive. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 10:43
- well said. -- nm - znufrii Sep 7, 10:41
- Just read it on b2, was coming to say how well said I thought it was. -- nm - Stephen Sep 7, 10:40
- look at andrea being all LAM. whatever, andie. if that's even your real name... - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:39 1
  - danger! danger! chlymidia hazard! -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:41
andie iz smart. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:38
BTW, catsup/ketchup fans, Heinz makes a Simply Heinz variety that is made with sugar, not HFCS and is readily available in the US. - TWuG Sep 7, 10:38 4
- I just came to b1 to post that. it's what I use, good stuff. -- nm - b. Sep 7, 10:50

- and it's *fucking* great. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:38
Strange that Budget would be three times the price of everyone else to rent a car. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:38 6
- i swear they've always been cheap for me - clark kent Sep 7, 10:40 1
  - they usually are for me too, which is where a lot of my surprise comes from. -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:42
- Notice they don't say how big -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 10:39
- You hooned the last Taurus you rented from the. Of course they're going to charge you more this time. -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 10:39 2
  - I what the last Taurus? -- nm - Reagen Sep 7, 10:41 1
    - Hooning means to drive a care recklessly. The Urban Dictionary def is inside - TWuG Sep 7, 10:44
Since I missed it, I went and do believe I found a "gay baseball" thread -- (link) - con_carne Sep 7, 10:37 [Backboard] 11
- At the very least, RC and Qale should be proud. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:42
- I was recruited some to play at smaller schools. I wonder if I would have been "out?" - MDH Sep 7, 10:42
- "how do you make it through the day without being kidnapped by elves?".....nm - x Sep 7, 10:41 2
  - I used "call elves" on the children for whom I babysit recently and *explained why.* (I wonder if they're using it yet.) -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:58
  - yup -- nm - prayformojo Sep 7, 10:43
- that's the grand finale. -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:40
- "How do you make it through the day without being kidnapped by elves?" - Beaker Sep 7, 10:39 4
  - You know, I've gone and found that post a few times, but never remembered the topic/claim that originated it -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 10:45
  - perfection -- nm - Epiphany Sep 7, 10:43
  - absolutely....nm - x Sep 7, 10:42
  - that's obvious - znufrii Sep 7, 10:40
*looks around the hallway to make sure the coast is clear, steps into the ST broom closet, emerges . . . * -- nm - clark kent Sep 7, 10:36 1
- so Supes just came out of the closet? -- nm - Beaker Sep 7, 10:38
This board is all made up. -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 7, 10:35 6
- I find it disingenuous that the previous board went and renamed itself B2 without telling us. What's it trying to hide? -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 10:36
- you aren't a doctor? -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:36 3
  - shit, that's the only reason I stopped by. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:37 2
    - /prescribes nuking the site from orbit/ -- nm - Dr.Johnny Vermin Sep 7, 10:46
    - heh. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:40
