- This is why I am not completely anti-Cutler - groiny Sep 20, 13:31 2
  - It was amazing. It wasn't just one lineman getting consistantly beat, it was from all angles all the time. - musubi Sep 20, 13:38 1

  - I think it's totally fun -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 13:29

Who here had an HSX user ID of jebroni? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:03 40
- Trick question? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:04 39
  - Not intentionally. Why? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:04 38
    - no, there was a jebroni, but I thought it was one of the trolls? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 20, 13:11 1
      - I have no idea. They came up on a Dr. Tron search result for Ngata and the ID didn't ring a bell. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:15
    - One would assume it is JenBro? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:05 35
      - you know what happens when you assume - moles Sep 20, 13:06 34
        
        I rule. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:06 33
        
        Hey - I have a favor to ask you - and no I'm not Jebroni - has to do with football - see inside - JenBro Sep 20, 13:11 32
        
        It is all guesswork, but as I mentioned below, I lead the pick'em league as of now. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:22 3
        
        Sweet - I'll scan the page and email it - Friday is the deadline -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:25 2
        
        I know the games, just email me so I have yours and will send my picks on Thursday if that is cool. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:32 1
        
        perfect - email sent -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:33
        
        well, if you want to win.... - groiny Sep 20, 13:12 27
        
        Uh, I lead the pick'em league, yet again. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:20 17
        
        How many of the first 32 games have you picked correctly? -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:27 10
        
        13/16 right this week (should have been 14, not sure how I clicked wrong). Have to check on week 1, but it was a blood bath for all involved. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:30 9
        
        what's hard about picking without a spread? -- nm - TFox Sep 20, 13:32 8
        
        well ... you have to pick who wins - JenBro Sep 20, 13:38
        
        Try it sometime. The any given Sunday philosophy has become a reality. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:33 1
        
        oh I LOVE that movie ... that's one I will watch anytime I stumble on it when surfing channels. -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:34
        
        Not much. Just saying I have won in the past and currently lead the ST League. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:33 4
        
        2 weeks in, congrats. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 20, 13:33 3
        
        "... I have won in the past..." -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:35 2
        
        I had a shot at being drafted once too..... - groiny Sep 20, 13:36 1
        
        I won the ST League in 2009 AND 2010 AND am leading in 2011. - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:40
        
        crikey - who knew this would cause such a ruckus - ok - I have no idea what "pickem" means - but it's prolly this right? List inside - JenBro Sep 20, 13:24 5
        
        I was just in my office and I heard a ruckus. -- nm - samara Sep 20, 13:33 1

        *ding* -- nm - moles Sep 20, 13:14
        
        c'mon seriously? I thought he won all the FF stuff? -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:13 6
        
        Depends on who you ask...... - groiny Sep 20, 13:16 2
        
        Says the guy I eliminated from the fantasy baseball league play-offs just a couple weeks ago. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:21 1
        
        Sure, I finished in 4th overall, and the last 2 weeks my team sucked. - groiny Sep 20, 13:32
        
        No......no.........just nooo. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 20, 13:15
        
        You should have your cat make the picks instead. They'd be more accurate. -- nm - David, Archer fan Sep 20, 13:14 1
        
        Right?! -- nm - Jim the Cat Sep 20, 13:15

    - thank you for calling the copyright office - please stay on the line - your call will be answered in ... pause pause pause - 13 minutes -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:11 2
      - not quite -- nm - moles Sep 20, 13:12 1
        
        (30 minutes, nobobdy cares) -- nm - moles Sep 20, 13:19
I think Nortre Dame should just start there own conference and put all the leftovers in that conference - eag Sep 20, 13:03
My Ireland trip has gone from "I'm going to drive around and see the area where my grandparents are from" to.... - ty97 Sep 20, 13:01 34
- My mother just said "I think it's your grandmother's cousins". My grandmother passed away in 1993 at the age of 80-something. - ty97 Sep 20, 13:14 2
  - well sure, they could be alive (they could be younger), but they probably aren't picking you up. :) -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:42
  - her cousins? probably not. This would be their kids or grandkids. So, your third cousins. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:15
- SWEET! not that it will be similar for you - but my SIL went and met relatives and had a blast - then they visited here - very cool - Irish = FUN -- nm - JenBro Sep 20, 13:13
- This is really awesome ty! - Stephen Sep 20, 13:13
- Haha welcome home ty97 :) -- nm - Loyola Sep 20, 13:12 6
  - Oh and let me know when you get here and I'll meet you for one or ten drinks! -- nm - Loyola Sep 20, 13:16 5
    - I'll let you know as soon as I have a semblance of a schedule. Everything's suddenly up in the air with foreign relatives and such! - ty97 Sep 20, 13:20 4
      - Ok cool. Knock is closer to me but I know a girl up in Dublin and can crash at her place Friday night. - Loyola Sep 20, 13:25
      - doesn't leave much time for dilly dallying... -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 13:20 2
        
        doesn't leave much time for anything much, alas, but I had to squeeze this in around a lot of work commitments as best I could. -- nm - ty97 Sep 20, 13:24 1
        
        still, what a fantastic opportunity. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 13:26
- "... They will drop you off there and return in 4 days. We hope you survive." -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 20, 13:03
- "these are the 'fun ones', really funny people." - ty97 Sep 20, 13:03 17
  - so what's the problem? - JenBro Sep 20, 13:14
  - Since you use the word "distant," I take it you've never met these people? -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 13:04 13
    - I have no earthly clue who they are or what their names are. - ty97 Sep 20, 13:07 12
      - the children of your father's first cousins would be your second cousins. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 13:10 7
        
        actually, they are his first cousins, once removed. -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:11 6
        
        first cousins share a grandparent.. second cousins share a great grandparent. you find the common grandparent then for each generation you are 'off' - Andie Sep 20, 13:12 2
        
        ty doesn't share a grandparent with these folks ... the grandmother came to the US. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:13 1
        
        *sigh* you go back to the common grandparent (or great, or great great) - it doesn't matter where you fall on the line. - Andie Sep 20, 13:28
        
        sorry, I agree with znu. The father's cousins are ty's first cousins once removed. The children are his second cousins. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:11 2
        
        oh, sorry, i actually agree, i thought i read 'the child of your first cousin is your second cousin.' -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:13 1
        
        this stuff is always a mess. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:13
      - That's wonderful! -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 13:08
      - I'm impressed they were contacted. we have no IDEA who my living cousins are in Ireland. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:07 2
        
        My grandmother and her US sister would were still alive when contact when made by my Aunt. Presumably, my grandmother/her sister were still in - ty97 Sep 20, 13:10 1
        
        my people came over after the famine, so late 19th century. Too far back. No records. You are very lucky indeed. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:12
  - you're in deep, deep trouble. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:03
  - well, duh - znufrii Sep 20, 13:03
- nice! -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 13:02
- "Luck of the Tyrish!" -- nm - moles Sep 20, 13:01
- wow, cool! -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:01
Robert Pattison recording an album... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 20, 13:01 1
