- i have a question for lawyers, why the delay? is it just to give all prosecution and defense time to get to the courthouse? - Andie Nov 7, 11:44 2
  - Right - attorneys and others involved need time to get there... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Nov 7, 11:47
  - On the news, they said a pastor was counseling them. They usually bring in food for them and I think they are giving the Jackson family time to get - jnine Nov 7, 11:47

- Yeah, when it's that big, you don't actually need the rating to tell the QBs apart. Rodgers is so far ahead of everyone else right now, it's scary. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:38 15
  - Peter King said today that Rodgers is halfway to the greatest season by a QB in NFL history...and he's right. - David Nov 7, 11:40 14

      - Patriots of Packers is right? - Spawn Nov 7, 11:46
      - With Newton, the big question is how hard he works now that he knows he can coast on talent. - David Nov 7, 11:44 8

        Remember in BF how none of us wanted to take Steve Smith becuase of his age and attitude. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:45 5
        
        I honestly believed he'd get 1,200 yards this year. I did *not* think he would pace for 1,800 yards. - David Nov 7, 11:53

        I kept thinking of Randy Moss when he went to the Patriots. Sue me - crash davis Nov 7, 11:50

    - Here's the amazing thing...Brees is the 1st QB to 3k in 9 games ever. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:41 1
      - Darren Sproles is the best free agent signing of the year by a *lot*. - David Nov 7, 11:45
speaking of "what you need," I have a question. how do you wash bathmats? I know you don't dry them, but how do you *wash* them? - amanda Nov 7, 11:34 10
- chuck it in with some towels.. shouldn't bleed, especially since it's designed to be wet. - colin Nov 7, 11:41
- washing machine. with other stuff. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 11:37 1
  - will it lose it's fluffiness, do we think? (its fuzz is like two inches long. I have the best bathmat known to man.) nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:48
- you wash bathmats by standing on them. when you get out of the shower, your are the cleanest thing in your home. anything you touch (or walk on) - dogbert Nov 7, 11:37 1
  - dammit... the first "your" in the second sentence should be "you're" - dogbert Nov 7, 11:38
- [deleted] 4
  - like, must it be alone? or with other things is ok? (thanks.) -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:36 3
    - it is better to be alone than to dilute my identity within a group. nm - existential bathmat Nov 7, 11:44 2
      - gasp. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:46

Dear Prudence chat: Awkward run-in with future father-in-law... - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:31 26
- This should immediately be reported to Joe Paterno. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 11:46 1
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:47
- one of my friends has an uncle who had a girlfriend (remember the prison tattoo we asked about last holiday season?) - amanda Nov 7, 11:45
- Here is the response, fwiw: - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:43
- At least these fake stories are getting more original. -- nm - Inigo Nov 7, 11:38 1
  - I concur -- nm - Epiphany Nov 7, 11:41
- Is he Japanese? -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 11:37
- This is a new one. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:35
- I would say, that's weird. But, is he sniffing it, to see if it should be thrown in the hamper, or is he snorting it and being super creepo about it. -- nm - Flavorize Nov 7, 11:34 16
  - he was obviously out of underewear and was checking hers to see if they were still doable -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:43
  - "Hmm. Is that a clean stain or a dirty one? Let me sniff it to make sure. Don't want her washing any dirty ones - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:41 1
    - I hope she washes the dirty ones on purpose. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:42
  - "Love your optimism, Fry." -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:40
  - *flavorites this post* - Diva Nov 7, 11:40
  - I love this post. Easily my favorite post in a while. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:39 6
    - I just want to know how he thinks this scenario would play out. Like, he sniffs all the panties, and then takes two of them to her and says, "I - mara Nov 7, 11:44 5
      - *laughing* -- nm - kare Nov 7, 11:46
      - heh -- nm - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:45 3
        
        And I guess she would just smile and thank him, because a totally reasonable and helpful thing to do. -- nm - mara Nov 7, 11:46 2
        
        i would also like a more detailed description of "reasonable sniffing" vs. "snorting" -- nm - kare Nov 7, 11:47 1
        
        *sneezes out lace* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:49
  - ! -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 11:39
  - omfg. -- nm - kare Nov 7, 11:37
  - How often do you pick up clothes from either the floor or hamper and sniff them to check dirty? - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:36
  - WTF?? She throws it in dirty laundry, and you think he might double-check to make sure it should really be there? -- nm - mara Nov 7, 11:35
- o. m. g. *kind of* creeps you out?! tell your frickin' fiance. -- nm - kare Nov 7, 11:33
pippy and dogbert, what kind of birds do you have? I always wanted a bird. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:27 3

stalker poll: if you needed something not very expensive for your kitchen, what would it be? -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:25 22
- pot holders or hot plates -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 8, 03:24
- Nothing, really. I have what I need and more that I don't use. -- nm - CovingtonCat Nov 7, 15:09

- iPad 2 for keeping recipes on. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 11:45
- I'm stealing all of your answers: spoon rest, cookbooks, splatter cover, and a cutting board ( not a fancy one) I like those ones you can kind of roll - Epiphany Nov 7, 11:43 1
  - oooh...spoon rest and a zester would be nice. -- nm - Diva Nov 7, 11:44
- I'm more of an ingredients person than a gadgets person. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 11:41
- spoon rests. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 7, 11:38
- Hmm, I can't really think of anything specific. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:33
- a couple of beer snifters. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 11:31
- ignoring my answer below, i need very little. maybe one of those 'reflexology' rubber foot maps? -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 11:30 5
  - what are those? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 7, 11:32 4
    - something like this: -- (link) - Andie Nov 7, 11:34 3

  - Yes, this. -- nm - kelly Nov 7, 11:31
- I so, so, so need a spare can opener for work. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:26 3
  - um. my answer is also can opener, i just threw mine out and i've been using one of those openers - Andie Nov 7, 11:29 2
    - That sucks. I feel for you -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:30
    - heh. I just threw mine out too. (doing major purge as I pack and move) -- nm - decline Nov 7, 11:30

  - The Others was awesome (and a moderate hit) -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 11:40
20 years ago today, Magic Johnson announced that he is HIV positive and that he would be retiring from basketball. -- (link) - zork Nov 7, 11:22 2
- Amazing that it's been that long. - nubby Nov 7, 11:25 1
  - And that was just Barkley falling off a bar stool. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:31
Jim, Newton's got a better QB rating -- he's got the rushing yardage - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:21 10
- I forgot about the rushing. I just looked at the other QB stats and Dalton has him on completion %, TDs, less INTs and less sacks. The QB rating is - Jim Nov 7, 11:23 6
  - Newton is already third among QBs in rushing TDs for the past three seasons *combined*. - David Nov 7, 11:26 4
    - Hey, I know a guy who's tied with him at 7 rushing TDs. C'mon...you know you want to say it. :) -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:28 3
      - Does it rhyme with "Bad Throw"? -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:31 1
        
        Actually, it's closer to "Hero". :) -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:34
      - Tebow! -- nm - crash davis Nov 7, 11:31
  - Come week 16, I think we'll see a clearer separation. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:24
- I completely understand the logic for Dalton, but he's only the second best rookie on his own offense imo. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:22 2
  - Very possible...I think they're feeding off each other to be much better rookies than they're supposed to be. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:23 1
    - Yeah, I wonder what the record is for TD throws/receptions for a pair of rookies. - David Nov 7, 11:24
Lilo: Jail was scary -- (link) - zork Nov 7, 11:19 1
- .... thank goodness they will never make me actually go there -- nm - lilo Nov 7, 11:23
Joey, it was many time Pro Bowler Eric Allen, which made it all the more depressing. - David Nov 7, 11:19 6
- I think Dalton's going to be one of those guys who will need a solid team around him to win a SB, but you ain't going to go 4-12 with him. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:22 4
  - I expect it to play out like Carson Palmer. About every three years, they'll win. The rest of the time, we'll pity Dalton for getting drafted by them. -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:23 3
    - To me, all depends on what they do with the fleecing of the Raiders. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 7, 11:25
    - They also have 9 picks in the first three rounds over the next two drafts. This talent with that depth could be big things. -- nm - volnelk Nov 7, 11:24 1
      - I just don't believe in Mike Brown as a talent evaluator. What they did in 2011 shows just how much a pair of great picks can flip a franchise, though -- nm - David Nov 7, 11:27
- *ahem* - David Nov 7, 11:21
Herman Cain accuser #4 has described sexual assault - sgtmike Nov 7, 11:16 4

argh! charlie's not leaving till 4! I'm out at 4:05, then. in other news, charlie's loaning me his parking pass for the rest of the week. heaven? - amanda Nov 7, 11:11
Just watched last weeks Terra Nova last night. Was Steven smokin' crack when he put his money on this as exec producer?? - Jovian Nov 7, 11:10 11
- *shrugs* I'm enjoying it. It's popcorn TV. And after shows like Dexter, Homeland and Boss...I know I can use some popcorn tv. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:11 10
  - it is. it definitely is. but the pet dinosaur last week...ughhh - Jovian Nov 7, 11:16 3
    - I'm enjoying Person of Interest too. Although last week, not enough ass kicking. They need to turn that back up if I'm to keep watching. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:26 2
      - I liked the "Escape From" aspect as well as the ending. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 11:47 1
        
        great ending -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 11:48
  - Homeland is killing it every single week. -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 11:12 5
    - that it certainly is. 2 eps behind though. -- nm - Jovian Nov 7, 11:14
    - It is...but some of these shows are so heavy that I actually have to work up to watch them. I'm a couple eps behind on Homeland just for that reason. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 11:13 3
      - Meat and potatoes TV :) -- nm - con_carne Nov 7, 11:20
      - I so wish I knew someone with showtime. -- nm - amanda Nov 7, 11:19
