West Virginia Close to Leaving Big East for Big 12 -- (link) - ty97 Oct 25, 08:50 13
- Is this the Big 12 with 9 teams or the Big Ten with 12 teams? -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:55 9
  - If Mizzou leaves and WVU joins, they'd be at ten. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:57 1
    - So...then Big 12 with 10 and the Big Ten with 12. Higher education at work people. - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:58
  - They don't even know. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:56 6
    - At least the Pac 10 had the common decency to rename itself the Pac 12. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:57 5
      - The Big Ten has known all along that 12 was not a final number. - Spawn Oct 25, 09:00 1
        
        Course, they were the Big Ten + PSU for the last 20 years :) -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 09:01
      - In the Big 12's defense, Big Ten is taken! -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:57 2
        
        By a conference with *12* teams! -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:58
        
        They should just rename themselves the SWC. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:58
- That Boise St is seriously considering heading to the Big East makes no sense to me. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:53 2
  - If WVU leaves, Bosie St would be nuts to go, I think. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:54 1
    - I'm rooting for the entire Big East to dissolve, so I hope they stay out West. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:55
GQ: Is This the Sanest Man Running for President? -- (link) - ty97 Oct 25, 08:45 3
- Shirtlessly? -- nm - nubby Oct 25, 08:51 2
  - I'm waiting for the Herman Cain shirtless ad. - ty97 Oct 25, 08:51 1
    - Maverick! -- nm - nubby Oct 25, 08:54
Damn it. - Spawn Oct 25, 08:36
LYC: week two of diet and it's still fine. lost 1.5 pounds. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:35 25
- Good for you! -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:55
- that's great Loosilu!! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:54
- Good going. Is this change along with any change in exercise routine? Or diet alone? -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:40 3
  - exercise was already significant. haven't added weights yet, but I should. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:45 2
    - all in due time, get accustomed to the diet change, introduce other things over time - ghouly Oct 25, 08:51 1
      - that's my thinking. I get seriously hungry after swimming. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:51
- Is this 1500 calories a day or what? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:38 18
  - yes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:45 17
    - is that working out ok? - ghouly Oct 25, 08:49 16
      - splitting it up. still hungry if I stick to 1500 ( after burning 500-600 from swimming). MyFitnessPal tells me I have to add calories so I have to go - loosilu Oct 25, 08:51 8
        
        if you are burning 500-600, I would bump the intake to 1800 or so. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:53 7
        
        this I learned watching Biggest Loser. Sometimes you need more calories to increase metabolism. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:56 3
        
        your body is like a machine, it goes into cruise control when you maintain a similar pattern. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:59 1
        
        are you familiar with cyclic ketogenic diets? you eat low carb six days a week, then do one day of high carb. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:01
        
        yep, I do know that going too low is bad. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:57
        
        that's what I'm doing. I burn that much 6 days a week. There were a couple of evenings where I had a clear - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56 2
        
        my non FBI wanted doctor, has suggested a 1 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein..... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:58 1
        
        that's stage 1 of atkins. I've done it in the past. it's hard to do that if you do high cardio. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:00
      - sad thing is, i am back into the hungry stage. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:50 6
        
        I told you, it takes 2 weeks to get adjusted to the reduced calories, and one day to blow it. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:52 5
        
        i get that, but i have been doing this for almost 2 years now. i have blown it on single days before with no issues - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:53 4
        
        maybe you are not eating enough protein or fat? if those are too low, you will definitely feel hungry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56
        
        how about your daily fiber intake? maybe bump that up a bit. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:54 2
        
        the two protein bars i eat a day have a combined 32% of fiber, plus whatever i eat for lunch - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:56 1
        
        what brand are they? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:57
Hey! I just won the era for us by playing the market! -- nm - mara Oct 25, 08:35 1
- ? -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:53
BIL update : He does not get along with the dude her is renting a room from.... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:31 17
- As long as he is out of your... lack of hair, I am fine with that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:34
- I missed the bath house stage, but he seems rather self-destructive. - ty97 Oct 25, 08:33 15
  - when he moved in, I picked him up from this bath house. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:36 13
    - I'm naive at times, but I thought those things hadn't exists since the 70s -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:39 10
      - (I mean, I know they exist in places still, but I'm always surprised to find out they exist still *near me*) -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:39 3
        
        for 400 bucks a month, you can live in a room about the size of a medium sized bathroom, walk around naked - ghouly Oct 25, 08:48 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        well, it is hardly a glamourous life..... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:56
      - Jusr across the border, in Indiana, I can give you directions if you like? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:39 5
        
        Gary Indiana? -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:50 2
        
        I am not sure the actual town, I know it is on a road called Sibley. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:54 1
        
        Looks like it's in Hammond, IN (unless there are two) -- (link) - ty97 Oct 25, 08:55
        
        While the clientele sounds appealing, I think I'll pass. Thanks though! -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:40 1
        
        I did kind of get intrigued by the hot tub they had in there. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:44
    - Worst. Bucket List. Ever. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:37 1
      - yeah, I was less than thrilled to be there. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:37
  - me too - he's got enough money per month to house/feed himself - so he will be just fine. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:35
is apple's icloud new, or did i just totally miss this? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:30 3
- It's an evolution of MoblieMe. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:55
- Last presentation, I think? -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:34
- Yes -- nm - Don Homer Oct 25, 08:34
[deleted] 1
- ouch. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 08:28
Look out ladies. I'm wearing boxer-briefs. Loosi was right. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 25, 08:22 21 1
- *bookmarks* -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:26
- that conversation was so amusing. - TFox Oct 25, 08:25 17
  - I have a couple of pairs of boxer briefs but they are too constricting.....boxers are more comfortable. -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 25, 08:49 3
    - see, I prefer my junk to be held somewhat snugly. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:50 2
      - Yeah, like I have said, I don't like the sounds that boxers allow. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:59 1
        
        uh, what? -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 25, 09:00
  - People still wear tighty-whiteys? (Boxer Briefs are ok, but constricting.) Knit Boxers are the bombdiggity. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 25, 08:44 4
    - Designer briefs seem to be in style, actually (non-white) -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:47 3
      - I have a few pair of boxer briefs, but mostly for exercise. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 25, 08:51 2
        
        Too sweaty? Uh, do you have AC? -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:58 1
        
        (a) My junk is hot. (b) I live in Florida. (c) That's a lot to keep bunched up like that. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 25, 08:59
  - You know, TFox, they make husky sized underwear, too. You don't have to go commando. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Oct 25, 08:37
  - I never liked boxes. never. And I hate the tighty whiteys. I go boxer brief. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:28 3
    - Remlik does not like the box. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:29 2
      - god I need to wake the efff up. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:37 1
        
        GET BACK IN THE BOX!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:38
  - We can argue all we want. In the end, we wear what pleases the SO. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:28
  - Outgrew? Like, when I was ten years old. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:28
  - I outgrew them the minute my nuts fell out of the leg and I crushed them when I twisted in my seat. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:27
- that is all I own. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:24 1
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 08:27
I'm curious as to where Newt's support breaks when he finally packs it in. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 08:20 14
- [deleted] 3
  - It sounds like you are just making stuff up now. Just last week, your tone was that the Romney nomination was done and done in the bag -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:41 2
    - Gingrich gets like 5-10% in most polls. His support doesn't make or break anyone's campaign. -- nm - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:51
    - how does this statement preclude that? -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:43
- Romney. - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:25 1
  - I say more Cain than Romney. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:50
- I don't mean to sound silly, but notice that Gingrich's support is (slowly) climbing. - ty97 Oct 25, 08:23 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - I love watching the GOP base twisting over how much they can't stand their eventual nominee. - Mel Profit Oct 25, 08:33 5
      - While Romney is likely, I don't consider him a given. It's going to be Romney versus whichever anti-Romney alternative is cresting at the moment. - ty97 Oct 25, 08:42 4
        
        The power behind the GOP will.never.allow a fringe candidate to be the nominee... - Mel Profit Oct 25, 08:49 1
        
        I don't think the powers behind the GOP are as all-powerful as you (or they) think they are // as they once were. - ty97 Oct 25, 08:54
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I really do wonder if Huntsman can scratch his way to about 4-5% and start getting "the Big Mo" going into New Hampshire. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 08:57
Vegera's voice is *almost but not quite Drescher* level....but she has the benefit of being funny...so that outweighs a lot of that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:20
Stupid MH question: - TFox Oct 25, 08:18 15
- Why not use spooky charms? I have 8'cobwebs I think so far ... -- nm - JenBro Oct 25, 08:27 13
  - forums seem to suggest that the charms decrease the AR. - TFox Oct 25, 08:27 12
    - Soumdsmlikembunk -- nm - JenBro Oct 25, 08:28 11
      - Heh - sfek - whiney guys that don't have enough bait to craft/buy the charms imho -- nm - JenBro Oct 25, 08:30 10
        
        NMBJ - Spawn Oct 25, 08:41
        
        I barely used them and I haven't seen much of a difference. I still attract a lot of monster, revenous zombies, etc - Guigue Oct 25, 08:34 8
        
        Also I found 9 cobwebs so far, most without charms -- nm - Guigue Oct 25, 08:37 7
        
        y'alls killin me (i got 4). -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:39 6
        
        Sucks... I traded 60 candies for additionnal webs to get a skin I immediately sold on the marketplace for 1.4 million gold - Guigue Oct 25, 08:44 5
        
        Oh, I see you're using the Sentinel. I got much better results when I switched to the ACRONYM -- nm - Guigue Oct 25, 08:45 4
        
        I don't see how that would matter; trap choice should have no bearing on AR. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:50 3
        
        But how's your catch rate? I was getting a lot of FTC with Ghost, Ravenous, etc. With the Acronym I miss a monster mouse once in a while -- nm - Guigue Oct 25, 08:55 2
        
        sure, but if i'm only worrying about collecting cobwebs and candies.. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 08:55 1
        
        Okay I see. Well I haven't missed a cobweb or Pumpkin hoarder yet with the ACRONYM, so at least you could increase your profit -- nm - Guigue Oct 25, 08:57
- Totally anecdotal, but I caught 2 cobwebs in a row using brie and no charms in the maze... -- nm - Guigue Oct 25, 08:25
you see, Pete, I am not paid millions to be on television. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:17 17
- Sit ups do not help with belly fat, silly. - Spawn Oct 25, 08:24 5
  - no, but it helps tighten it up a bit. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:25 4
    - you need to do core exercises that will work the whole area and not just that... - Remlik Oct 25, 08:27 3
      - oh, I know all about it. Just lack time and motivation and $ to get to a gym. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:28 2
        
        pilates at home! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:35
        
        there are tons you can do at home if you want...lots of easy ones.... - Remlik Oct 25, 08:29
- ok fair enough. - Remlik Oct 25, 08:18 10
  - yeah, and all that fame, and I can not buy a donut today. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:20 9
    - mmm...donuts... -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 08:29
    - no donuts for a week...eat a banana! -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:28 7
      - bananas = high fat, sugar, and starch! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:35 5
        
        but those are good for you in natural form (of course to much of anything is bad). -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:38 2
        
        the natural form isn't any healthier than other forms. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:47 1
        
        of course it is. -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 08:51
        
        which are all necessary and good for you. -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 08:37 1
        
        B-A-N-A-N-A-S! -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:37
      - I actually, have not had a donut in quite a while. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:29
[deleted] 1
- Hrmmm.....we get rid of Done-Nothing Roscoe...while bringing in yet another f**king Montgomery County asshole - Ghost Hunting Oct 25, 08:32
Mom of the Year candidate... -- (link) - znufrii Oct 25, 08:16
TEBOW! -- nm - what Larussa actually said Oct 25, 08:15 9
- I was watching last night's game with my wife (who is not a sports fan, but is a Cards fan because her parents live there) and I was trying to explain - pmb Oct 25, 08:18 7
  - It was a clusterfuck of epic proportions and should NEVER happen. - Jim Oct 25, 08:21 5
    - well, part of that is WHY IS HOLLIDAY STILL BATTING BEHIND ALBERT???? - ghouly Oct 25, 08:22 3
      - Preaching to the choir dude. They could have benched Holliday yesterday instead of Jay for all I care. He's killing us. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 08:23 2
        
        of course, the counter arguement is Napoli is batting 8th...... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:24 1
        
        That doesn't bother me that much. I mean, 7 hits, 9 walks and 2 errors and we score 2 frickin runs??? - Jim Oct 25, 08:26
    - But in his defense, Tebow would have saved the day. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 08:22
  - well, the Rangers have long been accused of stealing signs, maybe they tapped the bullpen phone too. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:19
- "Hello, Papa Johns?" nm -- nm - LaRussa Oct 25, 08:15
