  - Because we got rid of XM Radio and my ipod wasn't charged today, I got to hear a sentence out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth. - David Sep 19, 12:01
I will shop instead of working. 40% off at the gap means that my favorite weekend shirt is $8.00. I'll buy enough of those to get free shipping. - amanda jones Sep 19, 11:54 2
- i have (get this..) *empty drawers* from my insane 'must clean everything out!', 'everything must go!' purging sessions of late. - Andie - V-5 days Sep 19, 11:57 1

belated happy birthday to david and kilbo! (and, way belated to ralph w.!) -- nm - b. Sep 19, 11:51
so at lunch today, my companion ordered a beer, something dark and irish, as soon it was delievered, a fly dive bombed into the beer - tRuMaN Sep 19, 11:51
I *don't* want to be at work today. ugh. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 19, 11:47 4

Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham for LeSean McCoy....fair? -- nm - samara Sep 19, 11:21 46
- A top tier QB is always worth more. He touches the ball every play - not true for a WR -- nm - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 11:33 6
  - OK, but there's no WR involved in that deal. -- nm - samara Sep 19, 11:45 5
    - Sorry I meant RB. Brain fart. I rarely see a league where top 5 QB is worth trading for anything but thats just me. - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 11:47 4
      - Problem is, you should assume the top 12 QB's are all picked and all will be close in points. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:50 3
        
        I can see where that might be, I guess I was assuming her backup QB wasnt a top 12 -- nm - Capstern (35 Days) Sep 19, 12:05 1
        
        Most likely knowing her; it's someone in the 10-15 range which means a narrow point ranking. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 12:07
        
        what Will said -- nm - crash davis Sep 19, 11:54
- i love that all the dudes who lose to samara year in and year out are giving her straight advice on this question -- nm - moles Sep 19, 11:31 23
  - David and Spawn aren't in the Vampirates. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 11:32 15
    - so they avoid going up against the best - moles Sep 19, 11:33 14
      - Spawn plays against the best. Sans a mirror, I can't. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:43 9
        
        *goes to check the schedule to see who can put 145+ on me next week* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:45 2
        
        I was noticing that this morning. You're the KC Chiefs of Blood Feud. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:51 1
        
        Well, I do it through no fault of my own....they do it cuz they suck. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:56
        
        2-0. - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:44 5
        
        2-0 against you. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:46 4
        
        What year are you looking at? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:48 3
        
        The one where I had a birthday. - David Sep 19, 11:49 2
        
        And there's the upside of having one of those every year. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 11:55 1
        
        Also, the not dying. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:58
      - Well, there are talks of Vamps winner moving up a rung. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:36 3
        
        I was offered your Caveman spot when you went to Astros, but I wanted to build my own team instead of inheriting one. -- nm - samara Sep 19, 11:37 2
        
        Understandable. I did not mind inheriting a last place team, but my Caveman team was a bit of a machine. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:39
        
        you chose wisely - moles Sep 19, 11:39
  - are you on any of these ST-centric leagues? -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 11:32 6
    - not no more - moles Sep 19, 11:32 5
      - oh, so you're just wisecrackin' from the sidelines... -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 11:34 4
        
        He just couldn't take it. - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:37 2
        
        People respect quitters, right? -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:45 1
        
        they sure do! -- nm - Sarah Palin Sep 19, 11:47
        
        "by choice, man" -- nm - moles Sep 19, 11:35
- That seriously overvalues McCoy. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:24 1
  - this. I mean, it depends on what the teams have/need, but still. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 19, 11:30
- I love me some McCoy right now, but the dude is injury prone. I don't believe he'll last 16 games. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 19, 11:23 12
  - I hear you, but I just lost Charles and can still start Stafford and Gates. He's weak at QB and TE. -- nm - samara Sep 19, 11:24 11
    - I'm waiting for my chance to trade McCoy. - Strongbad Sep 19, 11:34
    - I just lost Charles too and I'm gonna roll with Thomas Jones. I wouldn't give up Brees to fill an RB slot. Stafford's been great, but do you want to - Jim Sep 19, 11:33 8
      - I lost Charles in my super duper keeper league. - Kim Pine Sep 19, 11:36 5
        
        (oh, and I have Thomas Jones, too. So we'll see how that goes.) -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 19, 11:38 4
        
        I see how it is -- nm - Thomas Jones Sep 19, 11:39 3
        
        my friend/coworker Meeta went to high school w/him. She said he was lovely. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 11:46 2
        
        Meeta is from my area! -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:53 1
        
        I miss Meeta. Of me, her and Thomas Jones she's the only one still in NY. :( -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 12:01
      - Oh shit, I just realized I have Thomas Jones on my team. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:35
      - Missed out on Decker, did get McCluster though... -- nm - samara Sep 19, 11:34
    - If you're going to pick up a RB for Drew Brees, it needs to be someone who will dominate his team's possessions. We're talking Rice, Turner or Gore. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:28
dear prudence chat q: she is engaged to a man from a culture where the bride is expected to be a virgin. she is technically not a virgin - moles Sep 19, 11:18 53
- Run, run, run away fast. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 11:49
- Tell him the truth - amoxy Sep 19, 11:30
- "I rode my bike a lot when I was younger..." -- nm - colin Sep 19, 11:27

    - it's not a lie if you believe it -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:26 11
      - At this point in their relationship they are apparently compatible enough to want to marry. Who she is doesn't change - TWuG Sep 19, 11:30 10
        
        The problem is that "who she is" is the type of person that would lie to him about this, and that's not something he knows. -- nm - Ender Sep 19, 11:57 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - David Sep 19, 11:58
        
        but don't you get it? no blood! -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:31 7
        
        someone is going to be inspecting those sheets! like his mother! who already thinks she's a dirty, dirty whore! - Epiphany Sep 19, 11:33 4
        
        you and me would have been in big trouble. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:34 3
        
        truly. I would have gotten carried away with the chicken blood and it would have looked like Jack the Ripper stopped by. - Epiphany Sep 19, 11:37 2
        
        right? I bet those old ladies could spot a fake. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:38 1
        
        I would have been stoned in the market street - horrible way to go - Epiphany Sep 19, 11:40
        
        Dildoes. -- nm - TWuG Sep 19, 11:32 1
        
        oh, I'm sure he'd be cool with that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:32

    - probably should be fish -- nm - oblique Sep 19, 11:23 1
      - groiny?! -- nm - moles Sep 19, 11:23
- maybe you shouldn't marry someone with different morals than you. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:22
- wow. well, here are your choices: tell him the truth and he'll call it all off. or (b) lie to the man you are committing to spend the rest of your - Andie Sep 19, 11:21
- *sells her a small vial of chicken blood* - Epiphany Sep 19, 11:21 18
  - what I want to know is, where does she hide the vial? -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:22 17
    - somewhere within the voluminous folds of her gown/petticoat. -- nm - Diva Sep 19, 11:26 5
      - which they never fully take off in these books - who does this?? - Epiphany Sep 19, 11:30 4

        these guys must be dumb as rocks. -- nm - loosilu Sep 19, 11:28 6
        
        Before anything happens, men's mental maps generally have "Here Be Dragons" over that spot. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 11:29 2
