    - with the demise of Bachmann...I think Palin steps in. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 10:29 3
      - oh hell no, even she knows she can't really handle the heat, she's far more powerful as a pundit - zeitgeist Sep 20, 10:33
      - Would love her to step in! -- nm - amoxy Sep 20, 10:30 1
        
        I would to. BUT I can also see why she wouldn't. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 10:32
    - Odd that he's more viable. Other than being male, he's her. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 10:28 12
      - He's less well known, which helps, and being male also helps. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:33

      - And Texan. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:28 9
        
        Which mean what, that Obama won't carry Texas? That was a big risk! -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 10:29 8

        When running for President, being the Chief Executive of the 2nd biggest state carries more weight than being a 3rd term congresswoman from Minnesota. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:31 4
        
        Which amuses me, because they have about the same amount of power. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 10:34 3

        It was somewhat sarcastic, but the Governorship of Texas is historically and notably weak. - ty97 Sep 20, 10:36 1

Decide my employee discount, mortgage edition -- $1000 off closing costs, or .125% off the rate? - znufrii Sep 20, 10:24 6
- what are the chances you would sell or refi in the next 5 years? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 20, 10:29
- What's the difference in monthly payments between the two rates? Divide 1000 by diff. That's how many months you need to stay to break even on it. - ceregon Sep 20, 10:28
- How much would the 1/8 discount save over the lifetime of the mortgage -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:25 2
  - roughly $6000 in interest over the life of a 30-year mortgage. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 10:29 1

CBS Sports: West Virginia has been denied membership by the SEC and ACC. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:24 15
- Interesting...I wonder who the SEC is thinking they get at this point. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:25 14
  - Virginia Tech is the name I hear the most followed by Florida State and Missouri. Kansas seems screwed. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:27 11
    - I wouldnt be suprised if the Pac 12 doesnt go after Kansas now to elevate the basketball conference - eag Sep 20, 10:30 5
      - Nah, the super conferences are all about football. Kansas basketball is gonna get screwed. (nm) - musubi Sep 20, 10:36 2
        
        Pitt and Syracuse going to the ACC is about basketball neither have a great football team -- nm - eag Sep 20, 10:38 1
        
        basketball and TV markets -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:38

        :-( I haven't heard anything good in this crap yet. - Krusty Sep 20, 10:34
    - Good look getting VT and not involving the Virginia legislature. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:27 4
      - (luck) -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:28 3
        
        because politicians are never swayed by money? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:28 2
        
        I think FSU is going to be an easier pull than VT, that's all. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:30 1
        
        They probably are but Virginia Tech has made it clear they're interested. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:33
  - As long as it's not FSU or VT, I don't care. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:25 1
    - From what I've heard they want FSU bad, and FSU wants in. Tech is a second choice. -- nm - MDH Sep 20, 10:28

- Ooof! And that was with the first ep curiosity factor built in. Next week will not be pretty. -- nm - bc/nc Sep 20, 10:29 1

- now all we have left to believe in are the three card monte dealers.....nm - x Sep 20, 10:23 1
  - has anyone ever told you that you can be sarcas...oh, right. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:24
- Put it this way...if you're going to get ripped off online poker'ing this should be the least likely method. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:23
- F'n nubby -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:21 3
  - I still remember that night in vegas when I flew in and saw you guys at the poker table - eag Sep 20, 10:24 2
    - All I remember is me taking Epiphany's chips, and Will cursing at nubby. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:32 1

Pennsylvania's experiment with Rube Goldberg-esq wine vending machines is over - Brian Sep 20, 10:12 13
- I wish they'd just get rid of the state stores and let people buy beer and wine at the grocery store for F's sake. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 20, 10:16 5
  - that sort of thing ultimately just leads to gay marriage.....nm - x Sep 20, 10:17 3
    - last thing we need is a bunch of gay whinos -- nm - Epiphany Sep 20, 10:18 2
      - "Why won't you let us marry?!?! It's not *fair*!!!!" *stomps feet* -- nm - the gay whinos Sep 20, 10:18

- How did they verify legal drinking age with those? -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 20, 10:15 5
  - IIRC, they worked something like this - Brian Sep 20, 10:18
  - If they were based in grocery stores anyway, why couldn't the shopper just pick up a bottle of wine in the store? - musubi Sep 20, 10:17 2
    - Oh. I see CR's post now. I didn't realize PA was one of those states with blue laws. (nm) - musubi Sep 20, 10:18 1

- (SFEK) The fear that when you turn the corner into a bathroom stall in a public place you're gonna encounter a mess that you really don't want to see? -- nm - bc/nc Sep 20, 10:07 3
  - No. I sometimes worry the door lack will jam. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:20
  - can't say that I do. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 10:15
  - no. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 10:12
Wendy's burger gets a makeover -- (link) - bc/nc Sep 20, 10:05 8
- Saw an outdoor ad for this. I don't eat there often, so I didn't see what the big change was. - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 10:16
- Interesting - I ate at Wendy's yesterday. I'm still glad that they improved their fries. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 20, 10:13 5
  - I like the new fries too. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 20, 10:26
  - Improved? They ruined them so much I refuse to eat them. -- nm - MDH Sep 20, 10:21 3
    - Your loss. They're 10x better than they were. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 20, 10:26 2
      - This. -- nm - lileve Sep 20, 10:36
      - Word. Love 'em! -- nm - Krusty Sep 20, 10:35

Little does David know that autodialer and the answering machine are conspiring with the Tivos to overtake the apartment. (nm) - musubi Sep 20, 10:04 3

I've resisted Twitter for, well, ever and now I'm thinking of climbing on the bandwagon. Good idea or no? -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 20, 10:03 18
- I know Mara and ML use it to check the news. She says it's pretty indispensable for checking the latest. -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 10:13 1
  - [deleted]
- If you have to ask others if you should use it, you probably shouldn't - Mr. Havens Sep 20, 10:12
- sure. it's great for buliding lists of people or publications to follow....nm - x Sep 20, 10:11
- it's occasionally interesting to see what a famous person did today. - TFox Sep 20, 10:11
- I almost never post to it, and often forget to check it, but it's definitely worth joining. - ty97 Sep 20, 10:10 3
  - I love it for live / ongoing / breaking events. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 10:10 2
    - I think I would like it for the same reason. Do you track it on your computer, or mobile device? -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 20, 10:14 1
      - both. If I'm somewhere and bored I'll pull it up and look at it. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 10:17
- I use it for business stuff mostly. Follow creators of comics who talk a lot...find out some info that I wouldn't find elsewhere.... - Remlik Sep 20, 10:08 2
  - Would you say more people follow than tweet? Because that's probably what I'll end up doing. -- nm - Chest Rockwell Sep 20, 10:10 1
    - yeah I think so. I know I follow some NFL guys & never talk to them, just get news....it can be more timely than thier own websites -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 10:11
- I use it for very specific things...NFL updates from Adam Schefter and the Broncos. Funny tweets from Steve Martin and CraigyFerg... - Jim Sep 20, 10:08 1
  - Yes. Funny and food trucks are about the only two things I check Twitter for. The trucks have turned Twitter into practically a necessity. -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 10:19
- There are a lot of positives to twitter but it's also hard to have stimulating conversation. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:06 1
  - all depends on who you engage of course. -- nm - Remlik Sep 20, 10:09
- I go back and forth on it. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:05
- it's pretty lame. -- nm - amanda jones Sep 20, 10:05
Chipper has earned a misplay or two, imo. Dudes' won more than his fair share (way more) of games. - musubi Sep 20, 10:03 8
- Yesterday, he looked apathetic and his head wasn't in the game. I think that's the first time I've ever seen that from him. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:05 7
  - Just have the Fish wear "NY" on their caps, I guarantee Chipper goes bonkers on 'em. - musubi Sep 20, 10:09 6
    - Kimbrel had gotten the 27th out on a weak ground ball. - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:15 5
      - True, but errors happen. If (and it's still a pretty big if) Kimbrel/Venters start looking human, it's the abolute worst time for it. - musubi Sep 20, 10:20 4
        
        The good thing about the playoffs is that there are more off days. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:23 3
        
        Assuming JJ and Hanson are out, who is the starting rotation? - musubi Sep 20, 10:30 2
        
        For the playoffs, that is. (nm) - musubi Sep 20, 10:30 1
        
        I honestly have no idea. I haven't been able to keep up since the fire. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:32
Some tweet details --- Rafe Furst -- 11mil; Bitar 31mil, Ferguson 82mil, Lederer 42mil -- (link) - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:02 19
- I wonder if any of these guys have been in hiding since the WSOP ended? Had to know this would eventually come out. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:10 2
  - From what I read, Ivey's not even playing in Macau for a while...the main FTP guys are in hiding. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:16 1
    - They learned after Juanda nearly got throttled at the WSOP for just being an FTPer. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:16
- Gordon? Ivey? Harman? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:07 15
  - I don't see any of those names --- that was just details from the tweets ESPN had. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:08 12
    - Ivey, Harman, Gordon --- not found in the document. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:09 11
      - Annie Duke? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:10 10
        
        She ain't FTP --- there is a Player Owner 1 who's un-identified that has a 40mil distribution, but I don't know why they're unnamed - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:13 9
        
        Figured she was. Oh well, if her brother was involved odds are she knew about it. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:14
        
        maybe he was the whistleblower? -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 10:13 7
        
        The movie about this is going to be grrrrrrreat. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:15 5
        
        What's bad is I can't tell how this type of stuff impacts the legalization. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:20 3
        
        It really undercuts the notion that this is an activity the US needs to legalize and condone, honestly. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 10:22 2
        
        In theory...but there's a lot of places that have moved forward, even after the initial moves in April. - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:24 1
        
        It's just as easy to shut it down. I think this is a gargantuan setback for the cause. -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 10:25
        
        The irony here - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:18
        
        Possibly, but given the other stuff, it's gotta be something like this or he'd be in the indictment - Will Hunting Sep 20, 10:15
  - Phil Gordon has always been one of my favorites. I'm going to be really sad if he was involved. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:07 1
    - I was going to make the same post. That would break my heart. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:12
I wish I could like enjoy food. It sounds fun. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 10:01 1
- I go back and forth on it. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 10:04
LYC: my hair is weird and fluffy today. I figured out what it looks like. A goldendoodle. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 10:01
what was best buy selling 15 years ago? -- (link) - znufrii Sep 20, 10:01 3
- Love that Sir Mix a-lot CD. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 20, 10:13
