Is Ovechkin's pulling out of the All-Star Game simply pique over his 3-game suspension and little more than a hockey hissy-fit? -- nm - Diva Jan 24, 11:51 2
- yes -- nm - spamlet Jan 24, 11:55
- Amazing how much he peaked at the Olympics. Today, "Do it all over again: Ovechkin or Malkin?" is a legit toss up. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 24, 11:53

    - Once he stopped stammering at the beginning, it was a good comeback -- nm - amoxy Jan 24, 12:02
    - he sounds have exasperated and half bewildered every time he tries to make a point, like it's obvious to him and he doesn't get why he has to explain -- nm - Max Jan 24, 11:59 4
      - I can empathise. It has to be crazy-making that he's losing to Gingrich. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 12:02 3
        
        I love thinking back to the SNL debates, with Newt as the guy that really shouldn't even be there. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 24, 12:05 2

- Reply with, "Tell me about it...we lose Posada, we trade Montero, do you really trust Russell Martin!?" -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 24, 11:45 3
  - I don't have a position, but I have to think that mentioning that you're pro- or anti-Yankees is like saying, "and I'm pro-choice!" - Max Jan 24, 11:47 2
    - I'd not be putting any of that personal stuff in introductory business correspondence. that whole section is odd. -- nm - b. Jan 24, 11:49

  - eww -- nm - prayformojo Jan 24, 11:44
- "nice" - doesn't mean compliment, necessarily; but there's appreciation. -- nm - b. Jan 24, 11:41
- No to creepy. Yes to "Probably just an observation". Far outside chance at "What else is warm?" -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 24, 11:41
- Compliment. Her hands may be cold a lot (mine are). And she may shake a lot of hands that are cold. Or both. -- nm - mara Jan 24, 11:41 2
  - Yes, I often hesitate to shake hands because mine tend to be cold. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 24, 11:44 1

A *cute* movie is not Oscar worthy. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 24, 11:18 7
