        the chance to be a moderately less successful Bill Belichick has to hold some appeal, I agree. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 20:15
        
        why would you want Jeff Fisher? Colts owned his sorry ass in the division every year -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 1, 20:14 3
        
        I *don't*. But he's a top pick for coaching. -- nm - Remlik Jan 1, 20:17 2
        
        i didn't mean you, personally. the organization. "hey, remember when we always whooped your ass? that impressed us, come coach for us" -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 1, 20:19 1

    - I love remlik for answering my stupidest quesitons. - loosilu Jan 1, 19:51 6
      - X = whatever the amount of yards needed. you need 10 yards for a new set of downs.... - Remlik Jan 1, 19:55 1
        
        ok, that makes sense. thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:55
      - and by the way, I had a ex boyfriend once sincerely try to teach me the rules of cricket. holy fuck. - loosilu Jan 1, 19:53 3
        
        ok Cricket is a game that makes ZERO sense. -- nm - Remlik Jan 1, 20:03 1
        
        I still think it's an elaborate practical joke. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:28
        
        That's not a girl thing. I have been trying to figure out cricket for years. -- nm - GregW Jan 1, 20:03
  - What don't you get? -- nm - kelly Jan 1, 19:47 17
    - hmm. (you're asking a moron). I don't get the multiple downs? - loosilu Jan 1, 19:49 14
      - This is like our not understanding the concept of death in your profession. -- nm - David Jan 1, 19:53 1
        
        fair engouh. and in my defense, I have to do that stuff in my profession or I would never sleep again. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:54
      - you get 4 downs (a try) to move 10 yards and then you get a new set -- nm - Batman Jan 1, 19:51 7
        
        so, the new set, that's just a reset? -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:51 6
        
        (see, kelly?) -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 1, 19:54
        
        as long as you make positive progress in yardage. If you don't make the X amount of yards needed you turn the ball over to the other team -- nm - Remlik Jan 1, 19:53 4
        
        thanks. what is the X? or who picks it? -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:55 3
        
        You have 4 tries to get 10 yds. So that's 1st and 10. The team manages to get 4 yds in their 1st try. So now it's 2nd and 6. - kelly Jan 1, 19:59 1
        
        ok, tx. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:00
        
        ok say your starting point is the 10 yard line. You have to get to the 20 yardline or more for a new set of downs.... - Remlik Jan 1, 19:59
      - so you've never ever seen 10 minutes of a game. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 19:50 3
        
        oh god yes. you have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:51 2
        
        linky linky kitchen sinky -- (link) - TFox Jan 1, 19:52 1
        
        ok, this is good. thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:54
    - you really want to go down this road? -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 1, 19:48 1
      - oh shut up, mr. No Fun. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:49

    - The Charms *are* the firecrackers. You must have 100 in inventory to buy the trap so do NOT use them until you've purchased the trap. - TWuG Jan 1, 19:39 4
      - Dang - I did arm them for a bit - crap - they should have said Firecracker Charms - I hate it when they aren't specific! Thanks -- nm - JenBro Jan 1, 19:41 3
        
        If you'd visited the trapsmith you'd have seen the requirements. But, yeah, the news post was lacking in specificity. -- nm - TWuG Jan 1, 19:44 2
        
        I had over 120 so just crafted it - at first I thought I had to hunt with that charm to get them :( - JenBro Jan 1, 19:50 1
        
        That's a fair assumption. Can't fault you for thinking that at all. - TWuG Jan 1, 19:53
  - she has a machine, apparently -- nm - jingle pixie Jan 1, 19:32 1
    - Ohh, is that who that is? I'd never heard of her before SNL a few weeks ago. - kelly Jan 1, 19:47

I have to say, they left some of the best Twlight Zone episodes for tonight ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 1, 19:14 7
- yes they did. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:23
- I wasn't allowed to watch them as a kid with my sibs - but I'd sneak out and watch from the hallway when I could get away with it. - JenBro Jan 1, 19:19 5
  - I get it. They have been totally a thing I watch only when home alone. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:46
  - I don't know how well this movie has aged - or if it's available anywhere - but it had me checking under my bed for months after I saw it. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jan 1, 19:25 3
    - Cool! I love/hate/love to hate scary movies and shows -- nm - JenBro Jan 1, 19:30 2

- it was a metaphor for communism - jingle pixie Jan 1, 19:11 11
  - yes, I can totally see that. although he had other things going on as well. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:18
  - Stop trying to make it out like if you've seen one Twilight Zone you've seen them all. -- nm - JenBro Jan 1, 19:13 9
    - no but they haven't aged terribly well - jingle pixie Jan 1, 19:17 8
      - the Serling ones and the Matheson episodes still hold. -- nm - Batman Jan 1, 19:23 1
