  - I hereby take back the above mopping. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 11:03
serious question - who doesn't, you know, GOOGLE someone when they start dating? much less at some point before you marry them? - Frankenstandie Oct 31, 11:01 10

      - *gasp* there was an awkward sex event and I wasn't invited? -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 11:08

- "This is new, paparazzi has never camped outside the restaurant I'm eating at before. I must be improving my lot in life." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 31, 11:02

V for Vendetta gets an F? One of my top 10 of all time. No bacon for you! EVER!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 31, 10:55 11
- I have a copy of the Blu-Ray sitting beside the player right now. I watched it again about 10 days ago. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:58 1
  - It's the rare, flawless movie for me -- nm - Bacon Oct 31, 11:01

  - Hey, I've missed both conversations about the movie. I wanted to personally congratulate you. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:59 3
    - If we're taking about the BIFA noms, thanks, I can't take any credit for V for Vendetta. -- nm - LMS Oct 31, 11:01 2
      - Yes, the former. -- nm - David Oct 31, 11:10
      - Congrats on the BIFA noms! Woo Hoo! :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 11:08
- I agree with you. Top 10 All Time for me too. -- nm - MDH Oct 31, 10:56
- see, david? -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 10:56
There are two types of people in this world: Those who like V for Vendetta and those who are total idiots. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:54 17
- Word. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 11:09
- This. -- nm - MDH Oct 31, 10:57 3
  - So which one are you? -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 31, 10:58 2
    - See above. Top 10 all rime. -- nm - MDH Oct 31, 11:00 1
      - time* -- nm - MDH Oct 31, 11:00
- really, one of my favorite put together movies, and I am not even a fan of politics. - ghouly Oct 31, 10:57
- wow - controversial movie - I've never seen it -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:56

  - It's aggressively bad in every way. - con_carne Oct 31, 11:04 1
    - You're aggressively bad in every way! -- nm - David Oct 31, 11:11
  - this sums it up pretty well -- (link) - poxie Oct 31, 11:03
  - I'll argue it's not as great as some say, but it's still a good solid movie - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:59
- Word. -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:56
- what a shitty movie -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 10:55 2
  - Thank you for proving our point. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:56
  - Tautology. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:56

don't listen to this. it's creepy. -- (link) - clockwork jones Oct 31, 10:49 1
- NPR? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:50
Thinking about LaRussa, why do you think the Cardinals are able to compete so successfully from a small market when that is rote excuse for others? - pmb Oct 31, 10:49 16
- History/Legend/Reputation. Being the team with second-most series titles helps a lot. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:56
- The Cards draw 3.5m every year and have a payroll of $100m. - spamlet Oct 31, 10:56 5
  - difference between them and KC is large. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:59
  - AM Radio is why my father has been a Cards fan for life. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:57 3
    - That too. Though, I lose KMOX about 75 miles west of STL. - spamlet Oct 31, 10:58 2
      - We used to listen to KMOX when I was in Rolla. Hell, I remember listening to a Blues game on KMOX driving home from NC as we were going through TEN. -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:59 1
        
        That's why I was so livid in the car. Lost it before the Hermann exit. - spamlet Oct 31, 11:01

- The Steelers, for as much as we talk shit, are the best run sports franchise imo in pro sports - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:53
- [deleted] 1
  - Tampa's currently the smartest management brain trust in baseball. - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:53
- St. Louis had a $100 million payroll. They're not small market due to the passionate loyalty of their fanbase. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:52 1
  - So it's really more of a cultural issue than anything. -- nm - pmb Oct 31, 10:55
- luck, and very few bad contracts. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 31, 10:50 2
  - We've had some dead money here recently...but overall, the team is pretty good about that. Walt Jocketty was a master. -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 11:07
  - But in most cases it's not just a short term issue. Pittsburgh always sucks. St. Louis is always in the hunt. KC pretty much always sucks (since - pmb Oct 31, 10:53
ok, another resume question. should i put the name of audit clients in my resume? - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:48 13
- I probably wouldn't name them. - spamlet Oct 31, 10:53 3
  - yeah, but i dont know what stats would be usefull - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:57 2
    - Good point. - spamlet Oct 31, 11:00 1
      - Oh, and get a good LinkedIn profile as well. - spamlet Oct 31, 11:08
- We're told not to do this at my firm. -- nm - MDH Oct 31, 10:51 3
  - yeah, most firms consider it a confidentiality issue. but the two i would list - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:52 2
    - I know, even with all 990s on Guidestar we can't though. In fact none of the Big 4 employees are allowed to give "references" either - MDH Oct 31, 11:03
    - Plus, you are not a CPA (yet) so you can make your own rules! -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:54
- is there any confidentiality issue? (otherwise, yes) -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 10:49 4
  - heh. my boss would say yes, but since they are required to provide copies of the audit report - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:50 3
    - couldn't you ask a person at the more well known places if they'd mind being a reference? then - no conflict -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:52 2
      - i plan on asking a couple of client people to be references to me. - tRuMaN Oct 31, 10:53 1
        
        FWIW - ^5 that you're motivated for some change - just the bit you've shared that I've seen - there just has to be something better out there for you. - JenBro Oct 31, 11:00
Does ST remember my roommate breaking up with his gf and not know where/how to do it and me being stressed about it because we were friendly, etc? - ty97 Oct 31, 10:47 2
- lir - I remember seeing an episode of KKK where Humphries didn't know she had been married before. He was asking the other son-in-law and brother - CrankYanker Oct 31, 10:51
- *brushes hands back and forth* alls well that ends well -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:49
So, I am going to the doctor later and I think I will ask him to remove my sinuses. - Spawn Oct 31, 10:42 13
- *crosses off "sinuses" on spawn's chart and pencils in "tongue"* -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 10:46 8
  - sometimes your posts teasing Spawn remind me of that Mad Magazine cartoon Spy Vs Spy :) -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:48 7
    - guys! your below identical posts are going to make me laugh all afternoon! -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:50
    - i am the white spy - poxie Oct 31, 10:48
    - He is the White Spy. - Spawn Oct 31, 10:48 4
      - NMB - Spawn - pickem' inside - JenBro Oct 31, 10:56 3
        
        Damn it. Knew we shoulda went with Pitt. New England, always finding new ways to f- it up. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:57 2
        
        are you kidding? you're doing fantastic! seriously - I can't thank you enough :) -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 11:01
        
        good job, Black Spy -- nm - poxie Oct 31, 10:57
- Sorry dude, I'll send the rent check in someday. -- nm - Sitting in Spawns inbox Oct 31, 10:45
- allergies? -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:43 2
  - Sinus infection. One that I have had all summer. - Spawn Oct 31, 10:45 1
    - that's just wrong - but you're smart to try to kick it before Winter colds and stuff hit -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 10:46
[deleted] 2
- Just can't get enough? -- nm - - Oct 31, 10:42 1
  - ~I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough.~ -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:43
Also...Will, you think Torre is an immediate HOFer, but Cox and LaRussa have to wait? nm -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:41 24
- coincidentally, we're discussing #3, 4, and 5 on the all time managerial wins list.... -- (link) - this is my costume Oct 31, 10:48 8
  - it would make a hell of a class if they were to all get in from the get go. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 10:49
  - [deleted] 6
    - *shrug* - this is my costume Oct 31, 10:52 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        like I said. -- (link) - this is my costume Oct 31, 10:56 [Backboard] 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        not really - this is my costume Oct 31, 11:00 1

- I don't see any manner they put 3 managers in (since this is the Veterans Committee) at one time and I think Torre will be their first choice. - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:44 4
  - Okay, he's got a solid argument here. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:46 3
    - Yeah...makes sense. This is exactly why I think placing limits on this stuff is absurd. All 3 deserve to go...they should go. -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:48 2
      - I'll be surprised if all three are not voted in. I don't understand why Cox, who retired last year, and LaRussa, who just retired, are same ballot. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:50 1
        
        Teh Veterans Committe only meets every 2 years...and iirc, they might actually only consider players 1 year, then execs the next - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:55
- I just assumed he was trolling. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:43 1
  - I explain deeper above. They all should be HOFers. I just don't see the voters picking them all; and I think Torre is the 1st off the board. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 31, 10:45
- I thought that read weird. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:41 6
  - I get it...Torre won more rings...but look where he managed? - Jim Oct 31, 10:42 5
    - Torre's frist three titles were with mostly farm guys and no off the wall signings. Those were well built teams, not bought titles. - Krusty Oct 31, 10:54 1
      - [deleted]
    - "I need David to spew stats on Cox." -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:43 2
      - You like that? :) -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:45 1
        
        Even my fetishes do not go *there*. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:48
"drunken caroling" is redundant. -- nm - this is my costume Oct 31, 10:39 2
- It is? I've really only seen caroling in A Christmas Carol. And The Long Kiss Goodnight. -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 31, 10:53
- Yeah, I thoguht, "drunken caroling" is like "drunken bingo", but with more walking. -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:41
If he had signed this post as Amanda, even she would have believed she wrote it. -- (link) - zork Oct 31, 10:39 [Backboard] 2
- I don't sing. I would have known it was an impostor. welllllll - clockwork jones Oct 31, 10:47
- "carolstravaganza" -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:39
All over our neighborhood you'll see dads pulling wagons with coolers in them. What do you suppose are in those coolers? Juice boxes? -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:37 7
- severed heads. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 31, 10:39 1
  - a.k.a. "trick" -- nm - con_carne Oct 31, 10:45
- I love that some people trick or treat in place where coolers are needed. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:39 4
  - Tonight you'd need a thermos to keep it from freezing. - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 31, 10:46
  - You don't have to have a cooler, but you probably don't want a 6-pack sitting out. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 31, 10:40
  - well, a wagon full of beer cans is just conspicuous. -- nm - TFox Oct 31, 10:39 1
    - that's why you dress up as the Pocket Lady -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:40
BOO!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 31, 10:36
