mmm. leftover potato soup for lunch. it's weird how something so cheap can be so utterly delicious. -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:30 13
- how did you know the potatos were leftovers? - moles Oct 5, 12:31
- like ramen. - TFox Oct 5, 12:31 11
  - mmm...ramen. That reminds me, I need to go back to Ippudo next time I'm in NYC, so good. -- nm - znufrii Oct 5, 12:36
  - I never liked this. I was a dorm pariah. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 5, 12:36 3
    - with a sleeve of Ritz crackers, it's like the best midnight munchie meal ever. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:37 2
      - do you want some starch with that starch? -- nm - loosilu Oct 5, 12:38 1

      - you could have still eaten it - moles Oct 5, 12:34 2
        
        and learn how to cook it myself? - TFox Oct 5, 12:35 1

The bye week fairy is slapping me pretty lightly this week. - Was Bar Was Oct 5, 12:26
MI4 to open 5 days early on Imax... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 5, 12:21 6
- Only 5? I had heard 19 days early. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:21 5
  - well whenever it opens we're there -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 12:25 4
    - ST Poll: Do I need to watch MI3 before I see MI4? -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:26 3
      - no but it is very good -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 12:35
      - When I saw it, I wished I hadn't -- nm - con_carne Oct 5, 12:31

      - [deleted]
I feel a bad, a couple I'm friends with is having a rough time in their marriage, and they have both contacted me privately for help - ceregon Oct 5, 12:20 10
- from what little you shared, not telling each other isn't exactly gonig to make things *better*, so what's to lose? - znufrii Oct 5, 12:26 3
  - I am encouraging them to talk to each other. They don't want to see a counselor or talk to each other about their problems. - ceregon Oct 5, 12:32 2
    - what a sucky way to live. -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:34
    - that second sentence guarantees they won't work it out. -- nm - loosilu Oct 5, 12:33
- Been there, done that. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:23 3
  - yeah let me thank you again for that. - Remlik Oct 5, 12:25 2
    - heh, NOT YOU!!! -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:27 1
      - I know I was just kidding -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 12:36
- the prisoner's dilemma -- nm - moles Oct 5, 12:23
- yikes. that's a tough spot to be in. -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:21
Stupid fantasy football trades. One dude in my league owns Brees, Newton, *and* Stafford (non-keeper). - TFox Oct 5, 12:10 64
- to be fair, I wouldn't trade him for Vincent Jackson no matter how many national titles Auburn will later have to forfeit -- nm - crash davis Oct 5, 12:14 14
  - if i had an embarrassment of riches like that at QB and i needed a WR, i'd do that deal. -- nm - samara Oct 5, 12:21 13
    - [deleted] 12
      - so strategize, people! here's roster info: - TFox Oct 5, 12:26 4
        
        I like his roster a bit more than your roster - crash davis Oct 5, 12:32
        
        I feel like I could talk myself into the Cam/Beanie for McCoy/Jordy deal.) -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:32 2
        
        The Beanie Wells? The man, the myth, the legendary #4 pick? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 5, 12:33 1
        
        I like to call him Beanie Football Wells. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:33
      - i'm higher on vjax than other folks, i guess. -- nm - samara Oct 5, 12:24 4
        
        Bad leg + bad abdomen + few games last year + no offseason practice = likely injury woes the rest of the year. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:27 2
        
        i almost wish they sit him this week since he has a bye week 6, let that belly heal up some. -- nm - samara Oct 5, 12:31 1
        
        Until Gates proves he's healthy, they don't have that luxury. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:33
        
        That's right, just crawl out of your opium den to post that -- nm - budice Oct 5, 12:25
      - like all of NE's receivers -- nm - crash davis Oct 5, 12:23 1
        
        Thought you preferred tight ends? -- nm - Gronk si Oct 5, 12:25
- FFL tangent, heard an idea for trades I like. Instead of leage review of trades, if accepted, post the trade on the league board. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:12 32
  - I initially read that as "either make a better trade offer or party" -- nm - crash davis Oct 5, 12:15 2
    - party! -- nm - budice Oct 5, 12:16 1
      - I would think that would be the overwhelming choice -- nm - crash davis Oct 5, 12:16
  - that seems... lazy. - TFox Oct 5, 12:14 28
    - It is better than the league voting them down, simply because they don't want to see other teams improve. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:16 27
      - that's just straight bullshit, aside from collusion, deals should go through, regardless. - samara Oct 5, 12:19 4
        
        Kim and I rather famously repeatedly had a hockey league trade rejected where the points matched exactly. - David Oct 5, 12:22
        
        Really? I think it might be kinda fun. Another fun league idea, if you beat a guy, you get to *take* a player from his team. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:20 2
        
        no, i'm not talking about your tangent, i'm talking about your disgruntled league voters. -- nm - samara Oct 5, 12:22 1
        
        Oh, agreed. Especially when one says, "If someone ahead of me is going to get better? Of course I veto!" -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:24
      - that's why i don't set up leagues where the league votes. commish review only. - TFox Oct 5, 12:16 21
        
        Oh, agreed. Guess it depends on if you trust the league commish. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:17 20
        
        You know the rules. I only answer to Blood Feud Voice of God. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:18 19
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        The Voice is unfortunately not the Healing Hands of God. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:20
        
        4-0. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:19 16
        
        Right now, that league is ML...David...JF...everyone else. - David Oct 5, 12:21 14
        
        You mean back when you were 1-2? - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:26 13
        
        Fun fact: I'd be 4-0 against you this year. ML would be 3-1. - David Oct 5, 12:28 12
        
        There are rotisserie leagues out there for people like you, maybe you should look at building one of those. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:30 1
        
        You're always the BBQ chicken on my rotisserie, 0-4. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:32
        
        (isn't his team like this every single season?) -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:29 9
        
        The previous three years he's been 12th, 12th, and 10th in points against - Reagen Oct 5, 12:33 1
        
        I am a defensive juggernaut. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:36
        
        It is...and it's the damndest thing. - Will Hunting Oct 5, 12:32 1
        
        Keep keepin' no! -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:35
        
        What can I say? - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:31
        
        As mathematically improbable as it is, yes. This is the third straight season where his team has been mediocre but his record has been good. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:31 3
        
        time to call up Cal State again. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:35 1
        
        I don't think we need to do so. It's 1/12 cubed multiplied by the .25 of being in the bottom three. - David Oct 5, 12:42
        
        If by "good" you mean "awesome". - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:32

  - and if he waiting too long, runs out of daylight -- nm - budice Oct 5, 12:14
  - (i could try something packaged like McCoy and ____ for Cam and Beanie Wells. or something) -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:13 1
    - (maybe Jordy Nelson in that blank. i can still start Vince, Hakeem, and Dez.) - TFox Oct 5, 12:16
- My mistake with Newton was not drafting him more because I felt pretty sure he'd be Rookie of the Year. (nm) - David Oct 5, 12:11 6
  - I knew he would be good, just thought it would take a bit longer. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:14 5
    - My primary concern with him is that he is pretty immature. Early success could hurt him, but he is the vastly superior version of Tim Tebow. -- nm - Andie SI Oct 5, 12:16 4
      - her advice has always been solid before... -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:17
      - andie si likes football -- nm - moles Oct 5, 12:17
      - Sometimes. I just don't get these joke nicks. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:16 1
        
        Andie is a well known commentator on vastly overrated QBs -- nm - crash davis Oct 5, 12:17
- He knows he has you by the balls. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:11 4
  - On the other hand, no one is going to give him a McCoy caliber player in our league for Cam. Won't happen. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:11 3
    - And then he will beat your pathetic team! -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:13 2
      - i'm playing him this week. that may be a complicating factor. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:13 1
        
        Yeah, I offered kilbo a great* trade last week. He did not accept, so I beat him Sunday. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 5, 12:15
i didn't read the article (bad, i know) but what the hell is a 'gay resume'? i mean, do i have a 'straight resume'? - Andie Oct 5, 12:09 18
- yeah, i was puzzled by that too. i wouldn't think to add anything about sexual orientation to my resume, but then again, i'm straight. -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:24 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - mmm, good point. i didn't go to college (at least, not anything noteworthy) so i don't have a section like that on mine. -- nm - kare Oct 5, 12:32
- [deleted] 7
  - [deleted] 2
    - Oh, I see. *Out*laws. I thought you just wore cowboy hats and badges at first. -- nm - Andie SI Oct 5, 12:17
    - ahhhhhhhhhhh. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:15
  - okay, that must be code, because none of those things would make me think "oh, he likes boys." -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:15 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - whoever thought up of the name deserves to be hit with a punstick. - znufrii Oct 5, 12:18
  - which of those is gay? -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:15
- [deleted] 1
  - [deleted]
- Probably things like "Interned at HRC/State Department/ any Hill internship" -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 12:13
- "so, i see it says here you were president of the KD Lang Fan Club? tell me more about that" -- nm - moles Oct 5, 12:12 1
  - It was just a phase in college. -- nm - Andie SI Oct 5, 12:15
- "Admin Assistant at Columbia University Gay Alliance" or something like that. -- nm - TFox Oct 5, 12:11
- "You like sneeze glitter." -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:10
[deleted] 6
- *prints mine on party invite paper and adds a pinch of glitter and tinzle to the envelope -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 12:09 2
  - you forgot to spritz it with scotch -- nm - ceregon Oct 5, 12:14 1
    - Lavender infused Vodka, or Gran Marinier -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 12:18
- hmm, let me gay this thing up then . . . -- nm - moles Oct 5, 12:09
- It's scented. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 5, 12:09
- That's why I posted on B2, same here. -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 12:08

- ohhh realllly? I will have to take a listen - Epiphany Oct 5, 12:29
Coen Brothers working on a series for Fox. -- (link) - Mop (194 lbs) Oct 5, 12:07 3
- This is be the first ever series to be retroactively canceled. not only will they not air the future episodes, they'll convinced us all they never - Reagen Oct 5, 12:10
- Bona fide. -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:09
- like the worst possible fit ever. Fox?! - moles Oct 5, 12:08
2 cookie fortunes, who wants one? -- nm - znufrii Oct 5, 12:07 6
- here -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 12:08 2
  - One extends one's limits only by exceeding them. -- nm - znufrii Oct 5, 12:09 1
    - Sounds good. :-) Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 12:17
- me ! oh me! please -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:08 2
  - Don't wait for success. Start ahead without it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 5, 12:09 1
    - alrighty then! -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 12:09
i say, maybe i can pay one of these locked out NBA chaps to change the lightbulbs in my mansion - the monocle Oct 5, 12:07 2
- The lockout players are like the Lehman Bros dude in Horrible Bosses... - budice Oct 5, 12:10
- "because there's a lockout, we got him for like 75% of his salary!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 12:10
Imagine how well such resumes are received at Tennessee schools! -- nm - David Oct 5, 12:06 1
