- your IM is cracking me up. Sorry dude, feel better! since it's over - just think - No Flu for you! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 2, 11:31

  - she must have thrown away Jim like a used rag already -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 2, 11:23
YES!!!! take that, Deevs. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:13 10

  - good grief. - loosilu Nov 2, 11:17 6
    - "...finish Diva off" -- nm - Diva, Hot Choklit Nov 2, 11:21 2
      - ok, I guess I am not seeing the difference between this and everyone else's talk about the game. we don't have to play if you don't want. - loosilu Nov 2, 11:22 1
        
        You're good at saying I'm sorry. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 11:25
    - from an outsider's perspective, it's different buried in a thread than as a whole new LAM post. just FYI. -- nm - drumstick jones Nov 2, 11:18 2
      - thanks for the assistance. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:19 1

More NFL Draft talk: Evidently Falcons GM Dimitroff called Bill Belichick to ask his advice before making the Julio Jones deal - Strongbad Nov 2, 11:09 3
- Schefter talked about this the morning of the draft. Pioli targeted Baldwin more after talking to BB. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:16 1
  - yeah, thanks for that bill. - tRuMaN Nov 2, 11:16
- Bill's draft record the last few years makes me wonder why anyone would call him for advice... - Beaker Nov 2, 11:15
NCIS and NCIS_LA this week. More of the same talk I guess. spoilers. - loosilu Nov 2, 11:07
McRibs are like hot dogs in that if I knew every ingredient I'd likely shudder, but ultimately they're both delicious! -- nm - Stephen Nov 2, 11:05 11
- I wouldn't buy another. It was pretty damn yucky. -- nm - Qale Nov 2, 11:29
- "McRib sandwiches contain same ingredient as yoga mats, shoe soles" -- (link) - MDH Nov 2, 11:06
- kosher dogs are all good meat, right? that is what I tell myself. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:06 8
  - we have discovered Nathans -- nm - Epiphany Nov 2, 11:10 7
    - I love them so much! Their fries are awesome as well. - Krusty Nov 2, 11:21 2
      - good to know about the IM -- nm - Epiphany Nov 2, 11:22 1
        
        If I wasn't so loyal to Nathan's I'd probably say the BH was my favorite. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 11:25
    - they are good. not sure they are kosher any more? -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:11 3
      - I'm not sure they ever were Kosher. I don't remember seeing many, if any, hasidic Jews eating them in Coney Island. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 11:19 2
        
        they used to be, at least for some definitions of kosher. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:20 1
        
        I wouldn't be surprised if they made a skinless all beef frank for those that keep kosher. - Krusty Nov 2, 11:23
have we seen gummi shotglasses? -- (link) - drumstick jones Nov 2, 11:05 [youtube]
Worst Survivor Power Rankings ever. Only sure about 1 thing on them (spoils) - Jim Nov 2, 10:59 3
- it'd be spectacular if that didn't happen, though -- nm - prayformojo Nov 2, 11:01 2
  - I actively rooting for that and I say that as someone who likes her opponent more than her. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:03
  - word -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 11:02
Happy Birthday Groiny! -- nm - MDH Nov 2, 10:56
College Football Experts: I dont watch college ball - I am reading that Luck got exposed this last weekend and that Landry Jones or the Kid from - Capstern Nov 2, 10:55 30
- Tell the author of that column they are an idiot. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:04 9
  - I like Barkley or Jones...and Luck's far more polished. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:06 8
    - Yeah, I agree. It's a great top of the draft for QBs and Luck very well could fail, but this is what we talked about back in January... - David Nov 2, 11:14 4
      - I think Stanford gets beat honestly. I think OSU gets beat. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:23 3
        
        Oh, I'm not certain they go undefeated (they've still got Oregon and I guess Notre Dame could theoretically fight back), but... - David Nov 2, 11:28
        
        I also think there's 0 chance that Luck isn't the #1 pick unless he's injured in a serious manner - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:26 1
        
        We have a reached a stage where unless he needs microfracture surgery, I still think he goes #1 overall. - David Nov 2, 11:29
    - wonder who will be the Marino to Lucks Elway -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:11 2
      - I don't think there will ever be a QB class that good again. -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 11:14 1
        
        I think there's a chance we just saw one. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:25
- Exposed? He threw for nearly 300 yards in regulation....and outside of the Pick-6 INT...was pretty damn good. - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:02 1
  - Not saying I wouldnt take him but figured you would know more than guys at work -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:04
- If Luck is available when Miami picks, they will draft him. End of story. -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 11:01 1
  - I am almost to the point I hope we have the worst record. If hes that good it would be a godsend. I still pissed we could have had Rodgers one year - Capstern Nov 2, 11:02
- I don't know where you heard that, but it's not true. He's no sure-thing HOFer (no one is ), but he looks like a decent bet. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 2, 11:00 3
  - The suck thing would be if we got first pick and then he stayed in school -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:05 2
    - He's a senior. He already made that choice last year. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 2, 11:07 1
      - Ok then I heard things wrong I thought he was a Jr. -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:12
- Dude, Luck is the biggest "sure thing" since Peyton Manning. Could he fail? of course...but taking any other QB over Luck should be a fire-able - Jim Nov 2, 10:57
- exposed? Peter King was gushing over him on PTI... -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 10:57
- That's crap. Th mark of a great QB is to be able to win big games. - Stephen Nov 2, 10:56 3
  - Whoa whoa whoa...I agree on Luck...but if that were the case, people would stop dogging Tebow. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 10:57 2
    - Ok, perhaps I was too brief in my evaluation... - Stephen Nov 2, 11:09
    - We'd love to dog him!! -- nm - ESPN si Nov 2, 11:01
- Everything I'm hearing is that Luck is the best QB prospect since Elway. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 2, 10:56 5
  - I had heard that too. One of the guys here at work said he was very mortal this last weekend -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:01 4
    - He threw a Pick 6....your buddy needs to re-evaluate things. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 11:04
    - As a Dolphins fan, my dream is we get Luck in the draft and Fisher or Cowher as our next HC. - Strongbad Nov 2, 11:02 2
      - And with new CBA he wouldnt cost a massive forture like old days of Ryan Leaf etc -- nm - Capstern Nov 2, 11:05
      - If we tank the season I could see getting luck. Just waiting for the quys to quit on Sparano. Fisher would be great. Marshall would be awesome - Capstern Nov 2, 11:03
So, who wants to hear about condo board and management company issues? Because we've got a rash of them! - ty97 Nov 2, 10:53 6
- We replaced a management company once, and had a devil of a time getting our funds released. I still don't understand why they - and not our board - - MojaveMeg Nov 2, 11:05
- This shit wouldn't happen if you just lived in a hotel. The difference in cost is negligible at best. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 10:59 1
  - I *do* live in hotels! -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 11:00
- [deleted]
- I presided over a change in management at my condo ... it was a bit dicey at first, but the replacement company was much better -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 10:54 1
  - The replacement company has utterly abysmal Yelp reviews, but I have a friend who swears by them (they manage her building) - ty97 Nov 2, 10:59
I wonder what a Vitamin String Quartet rendition of "Lollipop Lust Kill - Murder, House of Love" would sound like -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 10:52
[deleted] 8
- Chances are not good, but anything's possible. -- (link) - mara Nov 2, 10:55
- Most likely not. -- nm - Inigo Nov 2, 10:53
- It completely depends on the individual. - pmb Nov 2, 10:53
- i think it would depend on what "severely" means relative to the autism spectrum -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 2, 10:51
- If Hollywood has taught me anything, extremely high on the math/counting cards section. -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 10:51
- i think it would depend on the person. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 10:50
- severely autistic people are not verbal. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 10:50
- I doubt it. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 10:50
Trent just pretty much confirmed a full length How to Destroy Angels album. - Mel Profit Nov 2, 10:48
Doctor Who Monopoly? -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 2, 10:48 1
- well, I know what I'm getting my friend for Christmas. -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 10:48
Would reading The Walking Dead comics ruin the show? - Krusty Nov 2, 10:48 13
- Some stories are the same but most are different. To a larger point, it's a grim comic I would not recommend to anyone. - David Nov 2, 11:05 4
  - they lost me during the - major spoilers - Beaker Nov 2, 11:06 3
    - I don't think I made it that far. I quit when the two guys tried to rape the boy. That's not entertainment. That's a writer being exploitive. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:17 2
      - but isn't that the nature of fiction to be exploitive (regardless of the threat) and I wasn't thirlled with it either. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 11:21 1
        
        No, it's the 24 style of serial where the purpose is to shock without purpose. That's why BSG is so far above. -- nm - David Nov 2, 11:24
- it might certainly tell you where they are going with certain characters and expose some major upcoming plot points and happenings -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 10:58 2
  - (but the comic is far better than the show) -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 10:58 1
    - I guess I won't get them. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:59
- they are going different directions than the comic. But a lot of it is the same. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 10:57 3
  - hey, have you read the Strange Talent of Luthor Strode? Comicbook store guy here recommended, very good... -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 11:00 1
    - very strong. -- nm - Remlik Nov 2, 11:08
  - Good to know. Thank you. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:59
- any more than the tedious dialogue and paper-thin characters already do? -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 2, 10:50
a *girl* robot. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 10:46
DCU online is now avaliable to download FTP - eag Nov 2, 10:46
mmm...pate... -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 10:45 1
- I'd like the McPate with a side of Oyster McNuggets, please. -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 10:47
Polls: Cain still going strong, but there's plenty of reason to think that there will indeed be a collapse -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 2, 10:44 2
- I don't think any of them, Romney included, have very good "strongly committed" numbers. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 2, 10:59
- Sounds like his campaign needs one of those little plastic barbie doll table things to hold it together. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 2, 10:45
just signed up on chess.com if anyone wants to start a game. - znufrii Nov 2, 10:43 29
- NEEEERD! -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Nov 2, 10:50
- Krusty is a chess savant? I didn't know. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 10:49 16
  - It makes up for my average skill in most every other game I play with STers. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:50 13
    - *waits for Krusty to get Black Ops* nm -- nm - groiny Nov 2, 10:55 1
      - I was below average in COD. :-( I love the game, I'm just not all that good at multiplayer. - Krusty Nov 2, 11:07
    - play me in WWF! -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 10:52 10
      - Sure. I believe my screen name is STkrusty. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:55 9
        
        done. now I have to go finish off Diva. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 10:57 8
        
        If you're beating Diva I have no chance. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 11:00 5
        
        I'm okay, but definitely beatable. -- nm - Diva, Hot Choklit Nov 2, 11:01 4
        
        I hear you're damn good. - Krusty Nov 2, 11:05 1
        
        andie is the one who wrote the dictionary. -- nm - Diva, Hot Choklit Nov 2, 11:08
        
        it's tight but I think I got you on the next move. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:04 1
        
        you guys aren't talking about a word game anymore are you... -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 11:05
        
        *flips you the bird* -- nm - Diva, Hot Choklit Nov 2, 10:58 1
        
        Glop this! -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 11:04
  - yes. at least, compared to us out of practice rubes. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 10:50 1
    - I get the feeling we're Chess Drones. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 10:55
- so is this like conquer club, where you have lots of time to make a move? - groiny Nov 2, 10:47 6
  - yeah, you can set how many days per move. - TFox Nov 2, 10:48 4
    - I'm lazy and never changed the default settings. Sorry. - Krusty Nov 2, 10:50 3
      - nah, it doesn't matter at all. if a game was lost due to inactivity, that would blow. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 10:51 2
        
        ok, I also signed up.... - groiny Nov 2, 10:52 1
        
        Sweet. I'll start a game when I get home. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:54
  - looks like they have both online timed and turn-based options -- nm - zork Nov 2, 10:48
- are you sure? i'm searching for you and can't find you. - TFox Nov 2, 10:46 2
  - yeah, on the website, don't have the app. -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 10:48 1
    - nevermind, i found you. -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 10:49
- Nice. I'll start a game later. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 10:46
