      - ah, you're going to mix. you outsmarted the system. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 11:35 1
        
        sometimes. but sometimes I will just have fizzed water. -- nm - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:36
  - Good question. Sparkling water can be a good soda substitute. -- nm - Flavorize Oct 26, 11:33
- That depends. Is raspberry liqueur flammable or a good accelerant? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 11:31 2

You just have to love spammers sometimes - Brian Oct 26, 11:28 2

LImbaugh praised the Lord's Resistance Army. Obama wants it wiped out, so it must be good. -- (link) - Mop Oct 26, 11:24 5
- Mara (IIRC) linked (IIRC) to Rushbo correcting himself and admitting error. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 11:26 4

    - signed, 2000-2008 -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 26, 11:42
    - Hmm. That was a jab at Windbaugh, not TWuG. -- nm - Mop Oct 26, 11:30
  - I don't think I linked, which I regret now. A blog like Think Progress or TPM had the video of him laughingly saying he was misinformed and just - mara Oct 26, 11:28

- [deleted]
- There was an Elway vs Montana, flag football game, a few years back, that got more attendance (at $35 a pop). Old timers flag football league? Why not -- nm - Flavorize Oct 26, 11:27
- TO Time!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 11:26
- I understand Tiki's frustration but his age combined with his layoff means I would take just about any 23 year-old in the league over him. -- nm - David Oct 26, 11:24 1
  - this. -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 26, 11:24

  - I am almost physically unable of driving my car without stopping for coffee. I always make other people drive because they won't stop. - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:31 2
    - it took me a while to forgo the starbucks kiosk downstairs at work and just stick with the regular free office sh!twater -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 11:32 1
      - we (sit down) don't have free coffee at work. (I drink via). -- nm - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:33

- I'm totally addicted like a NY junkie, I drink a pot of the strongest coffee (Meg will tell you about my starbucks order before we left for the desert -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 26, 11:23
- I agree on the smell, but I can rarely drink it - amoxy Oct 26, 11:23 2
  - Coffee smells heavenly. It's like the smell of warm cinnamon. All nice and snuggly and comforting. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 11:25 1
    - Makes since, as it makes me want to vomit. -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 11:25

- [deleted] 1
  - agreed -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 26, 11:22
I'd still rather get a Keurig when all is said and done, I think -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 11:19 20
- a. 50 cents or more per cup? b. stuck with what they sell c. typical american wastrel ways, look at the trash at least brewing means d. excellent .. - zeitgeist Oct 26, 11:22 3
  - convenient, I'm not too picky, as long as they have a good dark roast, and little cleanup - znufrii Oct 26, 11:29
  - "stuck with what they sell" isn't true. There's a custom insert you can use to make whatever you want, without waste. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 11:23 1
    - that came with my wife's. She uses it a fair bit -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 26, 11:24

  - [deleted] 7
    - What I really like about it is - kelly Oct 26, 11:34
    - $100 machine, $.65 a cup....using your 365 days thing from B2.... - Will Hunting Oct 26, 11:28 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Yeah, but I get tea and cider from mine :) -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 11:35 3
        
        and here again is where I play the heel -- buying boxes of each type you want and storing it is costly *plus* - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:37 1
        
        I buy 2 boxes, they fit in a convenient 1 cubic foot holder - Will Hunting Oct 26, 11:48
        
        [deleted]
  - isn't it just so costly? like 75 cents or more per cup? -- nm - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:21 6
    - Maybe, but I drink it rarely enough, I don't really notice. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 11:22 3
      - yeah, I get this. but if you drink it that rarely, do you need a keurig? one figures there must be a breakeven? - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:29 2
        
        I love how easily cost-benefit analysis comes to you. :-) - TWuG Oct 26, 11:33 1
        
        I depreciate everything in my mind over its perceived useful life. so like, sure, your machine may last longer - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:36
    - There are "make your own K-cup" supplies that help reduce the cost. -- nm - TWuG Oct 26, 11:22 1
      - oh yeah. but I have a two cup maker for that purpose. if I'm handling grounds anyway, I would rather have a big girl sized cup. -- nm - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:27
[deleted] 1
- sometime this week, like 3 days ago, maybe 4, I posted about it when I first noticed -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 26, 11:19
nobody really cares, but this friday night is the return of ... drinking laundry. happy winter! -- nm - amanda romney Oct 26, 11:17
you know what's awesome? when you're doing some tedious math crap and the numbers all add up on your first try -- nm - poxie Oct 26, 11:17 3
- You mean, like always? -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 11:22
- Yeah that is nice. I however am trying to figure out our sales tax for the last quarter - amoxy Oct 26, 11:21
- No. -- nm - Women Oct 26, 11:18
Ok...so we talked about this yesterday. About Pujols game and sabermetrics. THIS is why I hate sabermetrics... - Jim Oct 26, 11:16 9
- if only you had Scott Hatteberg -- nm - poxie Oct 26, 11:24
- This is what I rail against in statistics. People hide behind numbers, refusing to demonstrate common sense. -- nm - David Oct 26, 11:22 2
  - Let's be honest...any stat that diminshes a monster game becuase you didn't single home 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th trailing by 1 - Will Hunting Oct 26, 11:33 1
    - Exactly, it's a creation of artificial parameters to minimize something majestic. -- nm - David Oct 26, 11:36
- [deleted] 2
  - But no one ever said that. They said "greatest performance ever". And while we've debated that enough...28th best this month? - Jim Oct 26, 11:28 1
    - [deleted]
- Just a jealous fan, being a jackass. It (He) made that game fun, and historic! Sure they could've used timely HRs from him in other WS games, but - Flavorize Oct 26, 11:21 1
