you ever have shoefly pie? -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 19:17 5
- I've had it. It isn't my favorite. -- nm - Fuzzy (mobile) Mar 13, 19:21
- Don't bother me. -- nm - Dano Mar 13, 19:19
- I think so, but I was probably drunk. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 19:19 2
  - shocker. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 19:20 1
    - oh no you dint. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 19:25
I am wryly amused that as crazy as Republican voters have been thus far, Paul never moves any on the dial. - David Mar 13, 19:12 14
- In the very beginning he was one of the first to shoot up in the polls, it was like lottery balls perculating in the machine, every other poll someone - zeitgeist Mar 13, 19:21
- [deleted] 12
  - I've largely bit my tongue on this, but Santorum is not electable. - David Mar 13, 19:19 1
    - I don't want it to even get to that. Nip it in the bud now. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 19:20
  - I do think that Santorum is less likely to win against Obama but I don't want a bad economic turn to put Santorum in the White House. - Dano Mar 13, 19:18 1
    - THIS! that's exactly how I feel. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 19:19
  - Santorum has basically no organization, no funding to speak of, and the Obama machine would have a field day with him - pixitude Mar 13, 19:17 3
    - And yet the Romney machine can't seem to run over him. -- nm - Republic of Mogul Mar 13, 19:19 1
      - That's because he has to run right. Obama can stake out a huge center against him. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 19:20
    - The fact that Santorum is on Glenn Beck's radio show daily screams desperation. -- nm - Qale Mar 13, 19:19
  - The longer Santorum stays in, the more Romney has to tack right and is more likely to say something damaging to him in the general. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 19:16 3
    - That's fine as long as Romney wins. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 13, 19:18 2
      - he will. The math is heavily in Romney's favor. -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 19:20 1
        
        This is still too close to comfort for me. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 13, 19:21
A third horse has died on the set of Luck - nubby Mar 13, 19:03 3
- Spiderman, as performed by horses -- nm - Max Mar 13, 19:14
- Luck, Colts, Death!! -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 19:05 1
  - This is funny. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 19:19
I hope Newt wins Mississipi and then Santorum and Newt argue that each other is helping Romney get the nom. - Bacon Mar 13, 19:03 4
- A split between them would pretty much do nothing but keep it going as is. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 19:04 3
  - I think it's fair to consider that Newt thinks Romney is preferable to Santorum as a nominee, and might stay in just to ensure that happens. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 19:15
  - Newt could lose both states to Buddy Roemer and he still won't get out -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 19:05 1
    - I hope you are right -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 19:06
If you lose Alabama and Mississippi . . . you might not be a redneck -- nm - Jeff Foxworthy Mar 13, 19:02
Doomsday Preppers has some odd people on it. The disasters that some of them are prepping for are almost comical. -- nm - ceregon Mar 13, 19:00 4
- You know our home brew operation? Our head brewer, Temperance, is a doomsday prepper. She doesn't even have a specific scenario. -- nm - loosi Mar 13, 19:08 1
  - knowing how to preserve easily spoiled grain is certainly a post apocalypictic skill worth having. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 19:18
- Oh, like we aren't all prepping our zombie proof safe rooms? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 19:04
- yup -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 19:01
MSNBC calls Alabama for the Ricker -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 18:53
Santorum wins Alabama. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 18:53 2
- Now ABC. AP should come soon. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 19:13
- Newt is 1% away from taking the lead from Santorum in Missi -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:54
sitwap: Reggie Wayne resigns for 3 years -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 18:52 5
- This is like willingly vacationing in Bosnia. -- nm - David Mar 13, 19:11
- resigns is exactly right. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 18:55 3
  - re-signs! -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 18:58 2
    - I'm surprised he didn't know that Miami was the best place for everyone involved. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 18:59 1
      - I wonder if the Miami deal fell through for Peyton -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 19:01
Castle fans - Detective Esposito is on tonight's Top Gear (History Channel) -- nm - Max Mar 13, 18:45 1
- castle...fans?......mal reynolds temp work until firefly returns...and it will! yosafbridge! -- nm - budice Mar 13, 18:49
12% Alabama reporting and Santorum 34% Newt 30% and Romney 28%...Miss 58% reporting, Sant 33% and Newt and Rom both at 31% -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:44 6

  - I can use that -- nm - Colbert Mar 13, 19:05

      - Tampa Baaaaay, baby! -- nm - pixitude Mar 13, 18:57
Oh yeah we may be headed for a cluster f of a repulican convention -- nm - eag Mar 13, 18:43 3
- I don't care who it is as long as it's not Santorum. - Bacon Mar 13, 18:48
- all part of the plan...introduce chaos...its fair -- nm - joker obama Mar 13, 18:45 1
  - its like the 90's were the 60's all over again only upside down....and 20 years late -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 19:07

- Does he have whiskers on his chinigan? -- nm - Dano Mar 13, 18:33 1
  - Is he ready to beginagain? -- nm - mara Mar 13, 18:39
- well they aint gonna agree with rg3 or grill for kalil...fisher era has begun -- nm - budice Mar 13, 18:33
If(when) Newt drops out, this race is going to get very interesting (scary). -- nm - Jovian Mar 13, 18:24
"This may be a mistake but I've switched from CNN to Politico Live's show, now on C-Span. It's kind of like switching from cocaine to meth cooked on - mara Mar 13, 18:21 5
- Politico's coverage is awesome. - nubby Mar 13, 18:25 4
  - They own their uber-geekdom. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 13, 18:28 3
    - Are you watching? TDS could have a field day with this. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 18:58 2
      - Nope. No cable. I'm an avid reader though. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 13, 18:59 1
        
        Even picked up a paper copy while i was in dc. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 13, 19:00
I think Hawthorne's been lurking ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 13, 18:19 1
- hey! biggest loser: 162.8 -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:26
His senior year of high school, Oden underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist , an injury that kept him out until December for - Beaker Mar 13, 18:18 28
- Yes, that wrist injury certainly foreshadowed his...knee problems. - David Mar 13, 18:23 5
  - here's a good Simmons quote from his pre-draft mock (in which, yes, he took Durant). - TFox Mar 13, 18:27 4
    - and yet in his actual mock draft he took Durant... -- (link) - Beaker Mar 13, 18:28 3
      - i... just said that. and then you linked to the source of my quote. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 18:28 2
        
        now that is totally on me only paying half attention -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:32 1
        
        ok, so now focus on explaining to me how Greg Oden's surgically repaired wrist, - TFox Mar 13, 18:34
- how many of his injuries since the draft have had anything at all to do with his wrist? - TFox Mar 13, 18:23 2
  - sorry, I said he was injury prone, didn't specify his knee at all -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:24 1
    - "injury prone" is totally and utterly meaningless. because his wrist was hurt, the Blazers could have known that all this shit would happen? - TFox Mar 13, 18:26
- Mister Glass -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:19 1
  - please check B2, Oden is NOT a draft bust according to David -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:20
- If you guys are going to troll me you might want to at least get your facts straight -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:19 16
  - and please explain how Oden is not a draft bust due to injury. I need a good laugh -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:20 15
    - Vernon Gholston is a bust. He can't play. Oden can play, he just can't stay healthy. - David Mar 13, 18:26 11
      - I will disagree. Bust to me means paid way too much, and got way too little for the money -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:29 9
        
        A bust is someone scouts got wrong. Period. -- nm - David Mar 13, 18:30 8
        
        I can maybe see this if there was no clear cut #2 pick, but with an almost sure thing at #2, your argument loses weight -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 19:08 4
        
        Your argument makes no sense which is why each time TFox has pressed you, you haven't defended it. - David Mar 13, 19:09 3
        
        other than one leg being longer than the other you mean? -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 19:12 2
        
        You really shouldn't have brought this to a second board. -- nm - David Mar 13, 19:20
        
        *laughing* - TFox Mar 13, 19:14
        
        I see it this way as well. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 18:34
        
        I would venture if you asked sports fans if Greg Oden was a bust, you would not be in the majority. - Bacon Mar 13, 18:33 1
        
        And I would venture that if you asked personnel people, close to 100% would agree with me. - David Mar 13, 18:35
      - ok dokey -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:29
    - I agree with you. If a guy is always injured he's a draft bust IMO. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:24 2
      - His first knee injury was caught before he even played a game for us. - Bacon Mar 13, 18:26
      - and if the player taken second is a superstar, even moreso -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 18:25
Er, what happened in game 1? (spoilers NCAA round ONE) - JD Mar 13, 18:14 1
- here..spoils - budice Mar 13, 18:18
Dear Emmys, let me help you with your Supporting Actor in a Comedy nominations. - Dano Mar 13, 18:11 3
- If they gave an emmy for the most appearances in the greatest number of series, Dillahunt would have it hands down. -- nm - Trish Mar 13, 18:48
- Max is indeed the greatest name in entertainment. -- nm - Max Mar 13, 18:21
- of those, I think Wayans might make it. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 18:12

Hey, David. No not that - JD Mar 13, 18:09 1
- Chet is my favorite annual update here. - David Mar 13, 18:13
A price has been put on my Amanda Bynes fandom. - Dano Mar 13, 18:02 3
- A price has been put on Amanda Bynes, according to RDJ. nm - Dignan Mar 13, 18:23 1
  - Is he naming celebrity rent boys too? -- nm - Dano Mar 13, 18:25
- Amanda please. -- nm - Penelope Taynt Mar 13, 18:09
"Tom Cruise run" is cruel, and accurate -- nm - Max Mar 13, 17:55
I just shared a link on Facebook. Wall Street Journal is doing a blind March Madness bracket challenge. They give you stat style rankings only and - Bacon Mar 13, 17:49 16
- somewhat on purpose, i was able to get my Kentucky/Vandy final. - TFox Mar 13, 18:53
- that's probably my most educated bracket in at least 10 years. -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:10 3
  - I was impressed with mine. I printed it to see how close I get -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:12 2
    - I entered mine in the slacker pool, because really it's better than anything I'd come up with on my own. -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:23 1
      - I'm going to do that, too. (This *was* fun.) -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 13, 18:43
- That was fun, thanks. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 18:05 6
  - Who is in your blind final 4? -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:09 5
    - mine are kentucky, memphis, ohio state, and kansas -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 18:23
    - Wichita State, Michigan State, Kansas, Ohio State. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 18:10 3
      - Yeah, Kansas looks good in that stat style -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 18:13 2
        
        according to the accompanying video, over 2/3 of the people picking this way are picking Kansas. - TFox Mar 13, 18:36
        
        Yeah, after I answered, I thought, oops, I should have mentioned I have Kansas winning it all. And then I thought, nah, probably don't need to specify - mara Mar 13, 18:14
- If I wasn't clear. They don't tell you the teams names. Only rank their offense, defense, three point shooting, experience, and hot streak -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 17:51 2
  - Can you link it here? Curious if they account for conferences. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 17:54 1
    - Here ya go -- (link) - Bacon Mar 13, 17:56
- I have Kansas winning it all against Michigan State, Southern Miss, and Indiana are the other two in my final 4 -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 17:50
The answer was... - David Mar 13, 17:49 23
- Klitschko is gay and hits Hayden? - Mel Profit Mar 13, 18:20 5
  - Maybe I misread, but I thought Klitschko was the athlete and Mario Lopez was the homo. -- nm - nubby Mar 13, 18:36 3
    - I thought Mario was an oversexed hound dog. - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:37 2
      - Long rumored to be gay. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 18:43 1
        
        As I said... - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:46
  - I had the same thought but again I am taking it too literally. - David Mar 13, 18:25
- Also, I'm not following the Room 23 thing. - David Mar 13, 17:52 16
  - can I get a direct link? - Mel Profit Mar 13, 18:07 8
    - I would have helped but I'm high too. -- nm - David Mar 13, 18:19
    - got it. [nm] - Mel Profit Mar 13, 18:16
    - Here's the general details (on a different site) -- (link) - Kim Pine Mar 13, 18:15 4
      - According to the end of that, it's also possible that it is RDJ with a rewrite from someone else before posting on some of them. -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:26 2
        
        To be clear that's my take from what they said. -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:32
        
        To make clear that -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:31
      - Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 18:18
    - Which part of it? -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:07
  - I got the impression that the book was a catalogue of sorts for her female escorts (Hayden, Biel etc). - Dignan Mar 13, 17:59 4
    - Hayden hmm...? IWHT (nm) - Fuzzy Mar 13, 18:12
    - No, it's a charity book with celebs. Himmm is saying that they are all connected to Jenkins as either buyers or sellers of sex services. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 13, 18:09
    - Several of the women are rich in their own right. One owns Jimmy Choo shoes, as an example. - David Mar 13, 18:08 1
      - It sounds like it about more than just escorts. - the liioulu with Mar 13, 18:10
  - It's possible that there are a few "legit" images/whatever in there to bolster the charity angle. -- nm - the liioulu with Mar 13, 17:58
  - maybe it's like a stock exchange. - Reagen Mar 13, 17:53
zietgeist... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 17:46

- Congratulations to Vincent Jackson on becoming the most overpaid player in the NFL! -- nm - David Mar 13, 17:49
Of course "Raising Hope" is on the bubble... - Mel Profit Mar 13, 17:43 4
- Tonight's was stellar. -- nm - Dano Mar 13, 17:47 3
  - I've been saving them up but have started watching. I love the My Name is Earl shout outs between the casts and gags. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 17:49 2
    - Spoiler (sort of) - the liioulu with Mar 13, 17:50 1
      - that's genius. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 13, 18:13
