- is that the plasma repeater? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 07:54 5
  - It's black with blue neon highlights and shoots really fast (doesn't seem to overload and it's not the gun where you hold for a big pulse) -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:55 4
    - covenant repeater, its their version of the assualt rifle, if you fire too much it overheats. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:57 2
      - ah, maybe I was just not overheating. For some reason I was much more effective with it than the AR. Does it have the same spread issue when you - oblique Mar 14, 07:57 1
        
        that is all true, if you fire constantly with it, it will start to slow down - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:59
    - yeah, I never use it, it kinda sucks IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 07:56

      - at least that is how i understand it. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 08:08
  - spoilers - mafic Mar 14, 07:57 2
    - ok, i am at 3. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:58 1
      - i probably shoulda said spoilers instead of that, though it makes no sense unless you read the others. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 14, 08:01

- so long, I can't remember - Epiphany Mar 14, 07:58
- not sure this qualifies - but would "on top of a faux fur" count? -- nm - JenBro Mar 14, 07:55 3
  - wait, with who?? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 08:24
  - depends on whether that's normal for you -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:55 1
    - since I just got it as a gift at X-mas - no - it's not normal - JenBro Mar 14, 08:12
- at this point, i'm not sure i remember what normal is. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:45 11

      - heh heh heh heh heh - groiny Mar 14, 07:48 1
        
        there is something wrong with you. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:50
      - See, now that would be something different then! -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:48
    - you need to remember to switch hands every so often -- nm - decline Mar 14, 07:47 5
      - I honestly wonder how many people can do this. - MDH Mar 14, 07:51 3
        
        yeah, it feels awkward, like I might as well use my elbow. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 07:55
        
        ambimasterous? -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:51 1
        
        That's what I was wondering. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 07:53
      - sit on it so it becomes numb, then it is like another person... - Beaker Mar 14, 07:48

- I call Shenanigans -- nm - Colts Season Tix Holders Mar 14, 07:36 3
  - what? you mean you dont think that Julia Louise-Dreyfus is a Top 16 Cougar? -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 07:37 2
    - fwiw, I always thought she was hotter than she got credit for. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 07:47 1
      - I agree. But she has no business being on a top 16 Cougar list! -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 07:51
- lol okay. Mischa Barton (5). yea Im done reading this. nm - Jovian Mar 14, 07:34 5
  - is that the crack whore bracket? -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:49 1
    - she should only rank one spot ahead of Whitney Houston's corpse. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 07:49
  - What, you don't think this is hot? -- (link) - Reagen Mar 14, 07:35 2
    - ugh she is nasty. and even at her best, she was still exceptionally average. Where the F is Leighton or Blake on this thing? -- nm - Jovian Mar 14, 07:37 1
      - I am shocked that a bracket objectifying women has no integrity! -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 08:01

  - you know? -- nm - Colts Season Tix Holders Mar 14, 07:36
- the hell is Sharon Stone doing in this at all? -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:30 3
  - You misspelled Demi Moore aka Skeletor -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:31 2
    - And currently Demi is beating Naomi Watts by a lot -- nm - amoxy Mar 14, 07:45
    - The last time the public saw Sharon Stone was on a milk carton. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 07:32
- Kate Upton as a 13 is wack. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:29
- Jennifer Lopez is a 10 seed. That's ridiculous. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 07:27 5
  - -ly high. -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 07:27 4

    - *Slaps* her ass is beautiful. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 07:28 2
      - in fact, what is her 43-year old ass not doing in the Cougars bracket? If Salma's there... -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 07:35
      - ...in the 90s. -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 07:30
- Rihanna is a 16 seed?! - TFox Mar 14, 07:26 8

    - Among cougars. I'm guessing they ran out of ideas. -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 07:42 2
      - big time. -- nm - loosilu Mar 14, 07:51 1
        
        Actually, I change my mind. There's no Aniston in the Cougars bracket (or any bracket) so they're clearly idiots. - Roger More Mar 14, 08:01
    - (as in in what universe could she possibly outrank rihanna?) -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 07:37 1
      - This just proves the idiocy of the bracket ranking system -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:42
  - The desire to be a punching bag is kinda unsexy. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 07:27 1
    - i think that's a little too far. -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 07:29
is mojavemom awake? - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:23 1
- that is so NICE of you to post that for her Tru (and sorry to peek) -- nm - JenBro Mar 14, 08:13

How would they know if someone was currently an axe murderer? -- nm - Patrick Bateman si Mar 14, 07:11 5
- the bloody axe is typically a dead give away -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:14 4
  - Well, that's why you don't bring it to work. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:15 3
    - It's perfectly ok to cross the US-Canada border with it, though. -- nm - loosilu Mar 14, 07:17
    - the Kenneth promotion bit at the start of this week's 30 Rock reminds me of this - Beaker Mar 14, 07:17 1
      - Hah, I nmissed the significance of the last part the first time -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:18
Beaker, I waited to reply here to help you with your goal of discussing this on every board til the end of time. - TFox Mar 14, 07:06 [Image] 19
- We care about the NBA? -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 07:21
- fair enough, I only used two of the hundreds of articles calling him a bust as David has some inside knowledge apparently which all these writers do - Beaker Mar 14, 07:13 17
  - and actually, you're right, i think i overstepped my definition a little, but not in a way that changes the Oden argument. - TFox Mar 14, 07:18
  - The Jeff Green trade is a bust because he sucks at basketball and is the damn devil. Don't invoke Jeff Green. - TFox Mar 14, 07:16 15
    - I don't disagree, but shit happens and players who seemed like sure things fall apart for one reason or another, turning them into busts regardless - Beaker Mar 14, 07:18 14
      - The Crosby Syndrome -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:19 13
        
        He's going to be one of the greatest what-ifs ever assuming he is done in short order with another concussion. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 07:21 1
        
        This is more what I am referring to, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:22
        
        We're through the looking glass if a guy who's won a Stanley Cup, a playoffs MVP and a regular season MVP is a bust. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:20
        
        interesting case here, but he's won a Cup, lead the League in scoring and won a Gold Medal, he is far from a bust -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:19 9
        
        i would only note that as far as we know, the only difference between Crosby and Oden is that Crosby has been luckier. That's it. - TFox Mar 14, 07:21 8
        
        sure, but would anyone not draft Crosby given what he has done? I say no, he still goes #1 with a bullet, Oden doesn't get drafted -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:32 7
        
        with perfect knowledge and a time machine, a lot of things change. - Reagen Mar 14, 07:40 6
        
        IIRC, Oden's knees were a huge concern before he stepped foot onto an NBA court. - groiny Mar 14, 07:45 5
        
        this was discussed yesterday when it initially came up. He hadn't had any knee problems coming into the draft. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:49 4
        
        and yet 3 months after the draft he had his first surgery, but I;m sure no one knew before hand... -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 07:53 3
        
        bad shit happens sometimes. You need to accept this. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:53 2
        
        sure, doesn't change the fact that he was a draft bust though; exactly because bad shit happens. - Beaker Mar 14, 07:56 1
        
        so we're back to Len Bias. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:58
since when did presidential candidates, not even a nominee, get to close down highways so they can travel? - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:04
Mitt Romney isn't filling out an NCAA bracket b/c "I'm not plugged in well enough this year to do that." He really needs to fire his staff. - MDH Mar 14, 06:52 7
- i'm sorry, if you are smart enough to "fix" the economy, you are smart enough to fill out a bracket. - tRuMaN Mar 14, 07:10
- hardly anyone filling out a bracket has any clue on any given year. Don't let that stop you Mitts! - Diva Mar 14, 07:03
- Here is Obama's bracket... -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 14, 06:57 1
  - Heh. He picked Vandy to beat his alma mater. - TFox Mar 14, 07:10
- what a friggin' gimmie. so %$#@ easy. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 06:55
- Yes, because the office manager that picks based on team mascots and wins every year is so plugged in. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 06:54
- It made me laugh. Welcome to the 99% of bracket pickers, Romney! - TFox Mar 14, 06:53
~It's Pi Day/Pi Day/gonna eat pie on Pi Day~ -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 06:48 2

That was quick. "What it was like working for the guy who just quit Goldman-Sachs" -- (link) - nubby Mar 14, 06:42 11
- That is not what I expected. :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:12
- I hope the dude saved his money because he's done in the industry. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 14, 06:57 7
  - I'd say he's done in a lot of industries. Who would hire a guy who says taht? -- nm - loosilu Mar 14, 07:11 2
    - he's probably made enough friends that he'll be on a board somewhere -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 07:13
    - I would want to talk to him. He observed the same trends I observed at my former employer, I suspect, albeit with less sightings of incompetence. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 07:13

PSA: I would never leave my job dramatically. Thanks Dawson. - MDH Mar 14, 06:42 1
- You'll leave quietly, under cover of night, with certain documents the firm will pay you handsomely to never see the light of day? -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 06:43
Obama: "It's been 200 years since the British first came to the White House, under somewhat different circumstances... they really lit up the place." -- nm - nubby Mar 14, 06:37 1
- I wish everyone could see the line to get in to this. First off, it's blocks long. - MDH Mar 14, 06:42
Groiny - if the trash talking here is any indication, the Hot Wing Chix Dip has them shakin' in their booties! - JenBro Mar 14, 06:20 3
- but, did you try it BEFORE you added all that crap to it???? - groiny Mar 14, 07:14 1
  - of course - and I'm not using it all for the dip either silly man (I'm not stoopid you know!) - JenBro Mar 14, 07:36
- GL! And are you doing this today because it is National Potato Chip Day? -- nm - amoxy Mar 14, 06:32
Something about this forecast seems off - prayformojo Mar 14, 06:18 2
- Hail stones from the thunderstorms counts as frozen mix? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:19 1
  - we're not even supposed to get rain today -- nm - prayformojo Mar 14, 06:19
did I just get a popunder ad with sound from ST? or was that from the NYT? -- nm - jones Mar 14, 06:18 3
- Those things are vile - the only way that would happen on ST is if we'd been hacked. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 06:27 2
  - *disables pubic tracking cookie* -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 06:28

  - [deleted] 4
    - Another angle to it. People cannot physically be this stupid. I have to assume it's the law of large numbers where they willfully consider - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:47 3
      - Plenty of people are willing to ignore practicalities when they conflict with their ideology. -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 07:27
      - [deleted]
      - except the people he's talking to don't care about the math, it's all messaging - znufrii Mar 14, 07:00
  - well, over time, with compound interest... - znufrii Mar 14, 06:31 1
    - With 0% interest...you'd only need about 8,950 more of these programs to balance your single-year budget... - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:39
  - Especially when a much bigger dent could be made if people like him just paid taxes like everyone else. -- nm - TWuG Mar 14, 06:21
  - He'll talk about cutting foreign aid next. -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 06:20 1
    - At least that one involves a 10th digit in it. We're almost talking real money at that point. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:21
  - Also, his reason for saying Missouri instead of Missourah is the first time in the last 4 years, he's not saying whatever the audience wants him to. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:20
- I love the arts, some of my closest friends are art museum owners. -- nm - Romney si Mar 14, 06:15 1
