        Well, the statheads who made up that measurement are. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:27 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Actually, you'll see I've not made any argument at all. And surely, if I do, it won't be in a WPA manner -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:30 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        That WPA is a shitty metric to use...yep, got it. I'm consistent. - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:32 1
        
        [deleted]
      - I don't even know what the hell WPA is. But 5-6, 4 Runs, 3 HRs and 6 RBI. There's never been a game like it. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:26 19
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        Um...yeah, I am. 3 men have had 3 homers in a World Series game. 2 men have had 5 hits in a WS game. 3 men have had 6 RBI in a WS game. - Jim Oct 25, 09:36 5

        I agree with Jim 75%. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:37 1
        
        I'll take it. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:38
        
        ah, but you're not accounting for the statistical effect of BBQ, which is a new stat I just made up. - znufrii Oct 25, 09:34 2

        silly JackDawson... - znufrii Oct 25, 09:37
        
        It's only one RBI more than Reggie who went 3-3 with 3 HRs, 4 runs and 5 RBI's. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:29 8
        
        So I guess we don't count the 2 singles that started earlier inning rallies then? -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:30 7
        
        It was an amazing performance but I see it as equal to what had already been done. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:33 6
        
        I can give you Larsen. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:38 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I guess so. Had Jovian said best offensive game in World Series history, then he would have been more right. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:43 2
        
        Still not right. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:48 1

      - I think Morris throwing 10 shutout innings in a game 7 was the second best pitching performance of the WS. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:26
    - not sure if this is sarcasm or not..... - ghouly Oct 25, 09:22 1
      - Offensively, it's probably the best ever --- surely you might argue Reggie or Ruth's were more timely...but pure #'s wise...it's at the top - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:24
  - I know, right? Damn newbs. -- nm - Don Larsen Oct 25, 09:20

loosi, I do not know what they are called, but the doc I spoke to - ghouly Oct 25, 09:04 5
- wow. they really have quite different needs, though. I'm sure his base metab is already huge. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:08 4
  - those guys when in season have to have crazy eating schedules...it's when they're out of the NFL that they develop problems... - Remlik Oct 25, 09:15 3
    - I bet it's hard to abandon the unlimited eating. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:15 2
      - I bet. It's a habit they've had since High School and to make a lifestyle change like that is huge -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:18 1
        
        Also, the getting laid by a lot of women -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 09:24

  - 34oz mug at work, 3 times (so 102) plus whatever i drink at home. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:18 4
    - ok, so you are fine there. - ghouly Oct 25, 09:20 3
      - yeah. it was easier when i was working out every night, cause I knew i needed to eat more in the evening - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:22 2
        
        can you do Rice Milk? - ghouly Oct 25, 09:24 1
        
        sorta. i can use soy, almond, and rice milk, but too much makes my stomach all wonky. but i eat cereal no milk anways. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:26
- ok, and are you eating 3 meals a day and one snack? - ghouly Oct 25, 09:08 4
  - as to the second part, i know i have that problem, and I am a bit stressed. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:10 3
    - are you eating unsalted almonds? - ghouly Oct 25, 09:11 2
      - raw almonds are excellent for keeping blood sugar even. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:13
      - right now, peanuts, cause they sounded good. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:12
- hmmm, nutritional info inside. Just from personal experience, I find that meal bars leave me hungry if I don't eat real food. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:07 22
  - add some fruit or yogurt as a snack throughout the day -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:16 10
    - he can't do yogurt at all. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:17 3
      - ah dairy.....then add mixture of fruit and grains as snacks throughout the day...not just one bar...you need to keep the metabolism burning... - Remlik Oct 25, 09:19 2
        
        I am wondering if jerky would be good. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:20 1
        
        depending on the type. That's a Crash question. He knows all about that stuff -- nm - Remlik Oct 25, 09:34
    - greek style - chobini - lemon flavor - so yum -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 09:17 5
      - nothing will ever compare to what we had on Santorini. - znufrii Oct 25, 09:19 3
        
        you go to NY, yes? go to Astoria. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:20 2

  - when i eat one at breakfast i am fine until lunch - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:09 10
    - yeah, you definitely need a better dinner. Lean Cuisine maybe? - loosilu Oct 25, 09:09 9
      - there are limited choices with the totally dairy free for that stuff, and even less with the low cal stuff. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:11 8
        
        I think you might have to ramp up your intake post lunch. - ghouly Oct 25, 09:13 6
        
        yeah maybe. my days are so variable that it make it hard sometimes. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:17 4
        
        you need a stash of something at work. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:18 3
        
        i have a stash of nature valley oats and dark chocolate bars - tRuMaN Oct 25, 09:19 2
        
        those are way high sugar. you need something with protein to address the hunger. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:21
        
        those are good. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:21
        
        this, especially if you are getting hungry at night. that's a clue. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:14
        
        I thought of that after I posted. But honestly, I think you need real food, even if it is simple. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:12
anyone heard of Eliane Amherd? Jazzy & soulful -- (link) - Epiphany Oct 25, 09:01
When the Big 12 formed (I was in college) and one of the names they were considering was the Breadbasket Conference. - ty97 Oct 25, 09:01 3

  - [deleted] 17
    - More likely than not. And you know there are some unlicensed ones. - MDH Oct 25, 09:08
    - I honestly would think much less of you if you knew where it was..... - ghouly Oct 25, 09:06 14
      - [deleted] 13
        
        I figure these places can't afford amazing rents, so perhaps lower Manhattan doesn't have any nowadays. - ty97 Oct 25, 09:14 10

        coincidence? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:17 6
        
        the GREEK embassy, no less. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:18 5
        
        The Greek/Ireland embassies are in Dupont, there's no embassies on 14th Street. it's the new "party street" -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 09:20 4
        
        they're not in Dupont. they're on a circle. maybe not Logan. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:22 3
        
        Aaahhhh, they're on Thomas Circle. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:23 2
        
        There are no embassies on Thomas Circle, they are on Sheridan Circle in Dupont. - MDH Oct 25, 09:26 1
        
        what the crap! you are right. I can't remember shit. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:30
        
        My IM above describes the location of the DC one. While there is no sign, *everyone* knows what it is. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 09:13
        
        well, from the outside, you would never know the one I went to was one either. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:12
    - I would presume NYC too. It's like, I know they are out there, but am constantly surprised that they are out there. - ty97 Oct 25, 09:06
- Depends on his... talents. -- nm - nubby Oct 25, 09:02 14
  - Considering he took them back to "Hamond", I am thinking, "not many". -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 09:04
  - of all the BIL faults, he was one hell of a cook. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:03 12
    - As in Chef or cooker of Meth? -- nm - amoxy Oct 25, 09:04 1
      - likely both. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:05
    - I did not read this as " cook" -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 09:04 9
      - [deleted]
      - Me neither. Whew. -- nm - nubby Oct 25, 09:05
