        they're making money trying to help me pay less for shoes. win. then, after that, more win. -- nm - jones Mar 1, 14:02 2
        
        I'm not thrilled with them collecting data like that, but I can't fault them for it to make money from it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 14:05 1
        
        they've been collecting it forever. I don't understand the shock. I think their previous image as cool was greatly exaggerated. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 14:07
        
        I don't see it that way at all. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 14:01
- do we have an obvious bad guy this year? no BP. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:50 1
  - that's a really good question. can't think of any off the top of my head. will be interesting to see how the brackets turn out. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 14:07
Unshockingly, the niece didn't like her Wii game she picked out yesterday as part of the buy 2 used get 1 used free sale. It was called... - Qale Mar 1, 13:44
New Yorker has a fun cover illustration of the Second Avenue Subway's eventual route.... -- (link) - znufrii Mar 1, 13:44 2
- Why is this funny? I just looked on the 2nd Avenue subway's wiki page and it's a straight line. - Roger More Mar 1, 15:07
- Very nice. -- nm - Krusty Mar 1, 13:47
the Long National Nightmare is over. I've found someone to do my hair tonight. (My regular Hairstyling-American has a stomach bug.) -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 13:43 6
- is this for the prison? -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:44 3
  - nope - that's at the end of the month. family b-day party this weekend and I can't be looking crazy. - Diva Mar 1, 13:45 2
    - babe... - Mel Profit Mar 1, 13:52 1
      - *snort!* -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 13:53
- I didn't know, but hallelujah! If mine is unavailable, I freak. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:44
- ~ just let your soul glow ~ -- nm - pixitude Mar 1, 13:44
Also, I'm going to be the contrarian. I love the addition of the second wild card team. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 13:39 40
- [deleted] 12
  - That's not why I love it. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 14:04
  - they ran through this on MLB sirius radio this morning.... - groiny Mar 1, 14:03 3

      - I am fine with the best records being in. Just wish they could do something about - groiny Mar 1, 14:09 1

  - Guarantee the Rays/Blue Jays/Angels/Rangers have a realistic shot is more likely. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 14:02

      - We have good teams. We're going to make the playoffs frequently. - TFox Mar 1, 14:08 2
        
        Right, 1 game to go home or not....that's a defacto coin flip. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 14:10
        
        [deleted]
  - 'twas my first thought for sure -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 14:02
- Hate. -- nm - Jovian Mar 1, 13:55
- [deleted]
- I think it's an awful idea that could lead to a .500 team or a third place team making the playoffs. You should check out the article on SI - Krusty Mar 1, 13:53 14
  - There's more chance the .500 winner is a division winner than the 2nd Wild Card imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 13:57 3
    - Who knows? This is the solution to the problem it's just going to cause other issues. - Krusty Mar 1, 14:09 2
      - The odds of a Sal Cap though are slim and none so this is the best course; and it's going to hit the Sox/Yanks when they lose that 1 game play-in. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 14:13
      - *not the solution* -- nm - Krusty Mar 1, 14:10
  - I'll read this later, but .500? I'm very skeptical. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 13:54 9
    - I read most of that (he has a *lot* of feelings), but I mostly disagree with his take on it. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 14:03 3
      - way too much for me to read there. - groiny Mar 1, 14:04 2
        
        Once he started winging at the all-star game, I glazed over. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 14:06 1
        
        You're okay with the All Star game counting?!? -- nm - Krusty Mar 1, 14:11
    - that is not going to happen. Every year, teams win the division at barely.500 - groiny Mar 1, 13:56 4
      - But that won't change becuase you win your division, you're in either way. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 13:58 3
        
        I am reserving judgement until it happens this year. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 13:59 1
        
        The only way this matters imo is if the #2 Wild Card gets in at 82 wins.... (unlikely to happen) - Will Hunting Mar 1, 14:01
        
        right. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 13:59
- anything that makes baseball more exciting should be welcomed with open arms -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 13:50
- I love it too. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 13:49
- I am undecided. I think it is great for the teams like Toronto, Balt, Tampa.... - groiny Mar 1, 13:41 3
  - But that a) makes the end of the regular season way more important, and b) those wild card games are going to *rule*. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 13:53 1
    - yup, I never watch baseball, but will probably watch those -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 13:54
  - Then win the other 162 games. I like the idea that the division winner get an advantage - Will Hunting Mar 1, 13:52
- [deleted] 3
  - you'd think I'd stop at something that simple? -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 13:40 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - fine. whatever. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 13:43
lowdown: my CEO and President each own half the business. Both work on some of the same clients, but they have distinct areas of interest. - Max Mar 1, 13:31 2

- "It projects a hologram of Kate Upton dancing into the target's line of sight." -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 13:29 10
  - "What if the target is a woman?" "Still works." -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 13:30 9
    - yeppers -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 13:44
    - yep, I'd look. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:38
    - The only target this fails on is Jack Dawson. He is immune -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 1, 13:33 6
      - In the land of the hologram-distracted, the man with boxer shorts on his head is king. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:55
      - It won't work on Mop. He thinks she's fat. FAAAAAAAAAT. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 13:36 1
        
        Mop is wrong! -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 1, 13:37
      - Oh come on. He'd be the first person in line to feel her boobs. -- nm - pmb Mar 1, 13:35 2
        
        True, my brain is clearly still on vacation. -- nm - Noloha, Bacon Mar 1, 13:37
        
        well, he'd be in line. i'm pretty sure the rest of us would fight him to be first. - TFox Mar 1, 13:35
Here's a tidbit on the MLB salary cap that I didn't know, that helps explain the Red Sox' thinking this offseason a bit more, I think: -- (link) - TFox Mar 1, 13:28 2

  - Well, I mean, it's a quote from Hal, so yeah. But I'm less concerned with what y'all do. heh. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 13:40
Ron Paul's first act as a cabinet member would be to shut down whatever department he's the head of. -- nm - pmb Mar 1, 13:26 3
- Can we make him head of the TSA then? -- nm - Stephen Mar 1, 13:36
- if Romney is the nominee, he will likely be compelled to put a movement conservative type on the ticket for the base -- nm - pixitude Mar 1, 13:27
- *laughing* well done. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 1, 13:26
Paul for VP would clinch a devoted but extremely limited portion of the electorate - con_carne Mar 1, 13:26 1
- Just like how Biden for VP clinched the caboose vote. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:29
There's a kickstarter project to turn a 1.5 acre abandoned trolley station on NYC's LES into an underground park -- (link) - ty97 Mar 1, 13:24 9
- "but the dwarves dug too deep" is still making me laugh -- nm - pixitude Mar 1, 13:29
- It's a fascinating space, was just in that station yesterday as a matter of fact. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 13:28 2
  - (the subway part of the station, that is, not the unused trolley part) -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 13:28 1
    - also, what's your sudden obsession with the underground of NYC all about? -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 13:31
- With hydroponics for foliage. Yeah, man. -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 13:27
- Referring to it as the Lowline to play off the (somwhat) similar High Line on the West Side -- nm - ty97 Mar 1, 13:26 3
  - good marketing. the High Line is a smash hit. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:49 2
    - I wish they allowed dogs. -- nm - lileve Mar 1, 13:54 1
      - oh god no. the lack of dog crap is a godsend. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:55

Shocker! Sheriff Joe says Obama's BC is fake - Reagen Mar 1, 13:15 2

sciere: I replied after the roll on the radio issue. (nm) - spamlet Mar 1, 13:10 1
- Thanks! - Stephen Mar 1, 13:23
"Becoming a Mormon" should be a new euphemism for passing away. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:08 17
- You know, it doesn't really make the dead person a Mormon. It just kind of gives them the option. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 13:37 2
  - I think they need to do a little PR. from what I know (probably like most people) it sounds unpalatable. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:42
  - It's like how an Honorary Degree doesn't make you a doctor, except on TV. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:38
- I'm totally stealing this -- nm - ceregon Mar 1, 13:17 1
  - point. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 13:19
- So if a Mormon tells me he's going to convert me, I should perceive that as a threat? -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Mar 1, 13:09 1

  - *converts this meme to Mormonism* -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 13:22
  - it ... yeah. I just realized I wouldn't want Landbeck to read that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:10
  - Somewhat. But so are they! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:09 5
    - not every one is behind this. you can't lump every Mormon together like you can't lump every Catholic/Atheist/etc together. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 13:16 4
      - Of course you can!' -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 13:19
      - totally agreed. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 13:17
      - true, quite true. I wonder, though, if they should change the phrasing they're using - it might help desensitize things. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:17 1
        
        or desensationalize, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 13:17

I have smoking gun video of Max. If anything happens to me, you know who did it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 13:05 2
