      - spoiler: The board has consonants on it that you can use. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:23 2
        
        sometimes that becomes strategic suicide. (See: My second-to-last move against Diva) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 6, 13:27 1
        
        I guess, but if you have ALL vowels and can dump three, it probably won't hurt you. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:28

  - Yup. I can't believe there isn't a quality GOP candidate in this entire country. - Krusty Dec 6, 13:26
  - it just amazes me that their hasnt been a real schism in the party yet. It really needs/needed to happen. -- nm - Jovian Dec 6, 13:18 1
    - I agree with you both. There are lifelong republicans who simply cannot see themselves as democrats, but the republican party doesn't really fit them - pmb Dec 6, 13:28

  - well, here's the actual money quote - znufrii Dec 6, 13:21 5
    - I hate Perry so much. Expect a march to the capitol in Austin. - Epiphany Dec 6, 13:24
    - [deleted]

    - [deleted]
    - I can't explain why, but the word "lifestyle" in that context really annoys me. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:22 4
      - probably cause it denotes a certain amount of choice - you " choose" a lifestyle - Epiphany Dec 6, 13:25 3
        
        *ding* -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 13:26
        
        that might be it. It really rankles when people talk about "living the gay lifestyle". You know they are anti when they talk like that. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:26 1

  - I dont' think most of them are stupid enough to admit they are anti-LGBT. - Epiphany Dec 6, 13:18 4
    - its not like many LGBT are republicans anyway, sure some may want to avoid taxes but then they'd have to vote for a ideology that pretty much wants to - zeitgeist Dec 6, 13:24
    - [deleted] 2
      - I think the surpise comes from the manner in which the position is expressed rather than the position itself. - znufrii Dec 6, 13:25 1

  - if you mean Stuart Scott, I think that's to hide his lazy eye. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 13:17 3
    - I looked him up - not him - this guy is older, more distinguished and the glasses are THICK - like someone drew them on -- nm - Epiphany Dec 6, 13:22 1
      - yeah, I don't like really dark frames on me. Looks like someone sabotaged me with a marker. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:24
    - and he makes them work, imo. -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 13:17
  - I wouldn't go extreme. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 6, 13:15

- This isn't even the worst thing that has happened to the state this week. - David Dec 6, 13:13 3
  - that's not as bad as the judge who just got sentenced for sending juvenile with minor cases to some private lock up because he was getting kick backs -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 6, 13:28
  - holy crap -- nm - Epiphany Dec 6, 13:15
  - I'm really surprised this isn't a bigger national story. - Kim Pine, The Master, Ms. Game of Thrones 2011 Dec 6, 13:15

    - Ha. :-) I am going to do it this week. I meant to do it last week. - Krusty Dec 6, 13:19 2
      - Take as long as you need. Just do it right. Consider weekly roster locks or max starts per roster spot. -- nm - TFox Dec 6, 13:21 1
        
        I will. The default settings don't work and FBB isn't as simple as football. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 13:29
