So, appropos of below, what are we all doing to celebrate Theo Epstein Day? - pmb Oct 25, 08:09 10
- Just wait until he lands Pujols! -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:10 1
  - pujols is going to be a royals player. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:13
- laugh as he makes horrible trade deals to get adequate talent while overpaying. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:09 7
  - while i think these criticisms of Theo are totally fair, the Cubs baseball organization is such a mess... - TFox Oct 25, 08:11 6
    - I really think that their focus is going to be on developing the minor leagues. I still expect a few big swings at free agents, but I don't expect - pmb Oct 25, 08:13 1
      - agreed -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:15
    - [deleted] 3
      - Honestly if he can do it for both Boston and the Cubs he should be an automatic HOFer. That would be a stunning achievement. -- nm - pmb Oct 25, 08:15
      - I'm admittedly curious to see how he approaches the Cubs puzzle, because it's very different. - TFox Oct 25, 08:15 1
        
        Actually, I think he does, but only because of the specific high dollar guys out there. I think he lands Fielder. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 08:15
I have chili in the crok pot at home, and I am longing for it's spicy hot goodness right about now. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:07 1
- a whole board about the spicy hot goodness of Salma and Sofia, and you're the one who wants to scratch that itch with ground beef. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:08
Another poll finds Cain in the lead over Romney nationally... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 25, 08:05
Work, in a fit of 'not cool' may be rerouting me to New Jersey - ty97 Oct 25, 08:00 8
- Rome? New Jersey? Same dif. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:06
- hello, Newark... -- nm - decline Oct 25, 08:04
- From where? -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:02 5
  - From home. They are actually expecting me to *gasp* step foot in New Jersey -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:04 4
    - It's the airport so it doesn't really count. I went to germany without really being in germany because I never left the airport. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:06 2
      - Right. Unless you leave the airport, they don't count. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 25, 08:08 1
        
        That's my way of thinking. I don't have a stamp on my passport showing I was in germany even though I was. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:13
    - i hope you don't have eczema; you might lose a finger or two. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:05

- I love the Lucchino line. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:02 2
  - that is awesome. that's a direct poke in the eye. - Mel Profit Oct 25, 08:08 1
    - ...if I were Theo. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 08:09
- that was very well put together. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:01
- FMK -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 07:59

FMK --- Christina Hendricks, Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:51 38

  - Yup. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 07:59
- KFM. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:55
- I still don't get Christina Hendricks. There are a lot of women out there with really big boobs...why should I care more about hers? - Jim Oct 25, 07:53 23
  - Geek interest was buoyed by her A) being in a Whedon show, and B) marrying Snozzberries. - TFox Oct 25, 07:54 8
    - So, I guess it's the Whedon thing that makes these same folks all gaga over Felicia Day? -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:58 7
      - dude -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:05 3
        
        That's right, I said it. I don't get the love for her. I mean, it's cool if you just like her as an actress, or her characters or whatever. But she - Jim Oct 25, 08:09 2
        
        agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:14
        
        Same -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:10
      - You are on the Internet and then wondering why Felicia Day is popular? - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:01 2
        
        (not really) -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:01 1
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 08:08
  - Time machine? I would do her. - Spawn Oct 25, 07:54
  - [deleted]
  - yeah, I love me some redhead, but that one is not all that good. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 07:53 7
    - and the carpet doesn't match. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:56 6
      - what about the upholstery? -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 07:57
      - I did not lift her belly to look. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 07:57 2
        
        you 2 would match in that way. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:08
        
        What a fantastic visual. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:59
      - ... the other two carpets? I would hope so. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 07:56 1
        
        you know some *odd* women. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:57
  - she was gorgeous for the Firefly eps, but has driven off a cliff on Mad Men -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 07:53 2
    - yes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:56
    - this -- nm - decline Oct 25, 07:54
  - 100% agreed. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:53

    - Fine, KMF. - ghouly Oct 25, 07:53 1
      - You don't like screamers? - Spawn Oct 25, 07:56
- KMF -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 07:51 2
  - This. But mostly only because I don't think I could listen to Sophia Vergara's voice/accent 24/7. But I'd probably have a heart attack and die - pmb Oct 25, 07:57
  - just beat me. This. -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 07:51

- 800,000 subscribers left -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 25, 11:02
- Their spliting services also brought up their membership numbers. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:12 1
  - I don't think anyone is counting their membership numbers like that. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:13
- Yeah, I'm definitely going to be buying it back in the future -- nm - ceregon Oct 25, 08:04 1
  - yeah as much as I hate them, I think when the stock bottoms, it would be a good investment. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:17
- When stocks are rules by hype valuations, you get what you deserve -- nm - budice Oct 25, 07:48
- Netflix is a special case, in that a high amount of investors no doubt use the service themselves - con_carnage Oct 25, 07:46 1
  - not really. Investors held the stock because it made them money. Very few serious investors are driven by 'love' -- nm - decline Oct 25, 07:49
- I rule society! -- nm - Kneejerk Oct 25, 07:44
YOUR ALL NOSY!!!!! nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 07:43
did someone call us? -- nm - Elves Oct 25, 07:42 1
- i'm guessing Max? maybe kilbo? -- nm - Andie Oct 25, 07:44
So, Rick Perry, I think an optional 20% flat tax is pretty awesome. - TFox Oct 25, 07:41 2
- and yet, not bring enough to cover current costs. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:08
- Why does Rick Perry hate accountants? - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:44
The Siophie's Choice of Boobs. You can only motorboat one of two chicks. Those chicks are... - Mel Profit Oct 25, 07:41 45
- Hayek -- nm - Krusty Oct 25, 08:10
- Hayek -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 07:56
- Vergara. 8 times. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 07:54
- Vergara because she would be laughing just as hysterically as I would. I like her laugh. -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 07:53
- Speaking of...for those who've never seen the movie...what WAS Sophie's Choice? -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:48 13
  - Tebow -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 07:50 1
    - Excellent choice. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:50

    - spoil me on what she did -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 07:54 2
      - spoil. - loosilu Oct 25, 07:58 1
        
        thanks -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 08:00
    - How is that even a decision? Send the boy. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 07:52
  - Less filling. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:48 1
    - nice -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:49
- It's like the Kobayashi Maru -- nm - budice Oct 25, 07:47 2
  - that is a no win situation, isn't this more the exact opposite as either way you win? -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 07:48 1
    - the only way to win is to play the game. and play, and play, and play. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:48
- Vergara. But let's be honest, either choice I make, I'm winning at a level few men have ever reached. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:46
- no question. Hayek -- nm - decline Oct 25, 07:43
- Let me take, um, three minutes and realllllly think about this. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 25, 07:43 13
  - the DM has a Vergara bikini pic to help you. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 25, 07:45 12
    - no thank you..... - ghouly Oct 25, 07:48 10
      - No shit. If Salma wasn't already the obvious choice, she would be now. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:49
      - You.....don't think Vergara is gorgeous? - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 07:49 8
        
        pretty, but not even close to being in the same class as Salma -- nm - decline Oct 25, 07:50 3
        
        I just want to make clear, for the whole package, I'll pick Salma. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:51
        
        yeah, she might not make my top 100. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 07:51
        
        This. This right here. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:51
        
        she is less attractive to me because I can not stand her voice. - ghouly Oct 25, 07:50 3
        
        like a Latina Fran Drescher*. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 07:51 2
        
        Oh, Senor Sheffield! -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:51
        
        this is pretty accurate, and I might take Fran over her too. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 07:51
    - If this was the one I posted here on Sat morning, it is factoring heavily into my decision. Mara had it dead on in that post that the proportion of - bc/nc Oct 25, 07:47
- Latin flava is the bestest -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 07:43
- there is no question the answer is.... - ghouly Oct 25, 07:42
- Hayek and it's not even close, really. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 07:42
- Marry Hayek, motorboat Vergara. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:41 2
  - you don't have any other option that Motorboat. You can not marry. you can not sex. just motorboat. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 07:42 1
    - Vergara. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 07:43
- *glares at fingers* - Mel Profit Oct 25, 07:41 1
