wtf ... a robocall saying I am eligible for "the government stimulus home loan program"? - loosilu Apr 4, 15:39 1
- That's probably why you are eligible -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 15:40
So I apparently have an iPhone now. -- nm - Tim Apr 4, 15:34 2
- Don't stress it, you can sell it and buy an android phone. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 15:41
- Oh wow. Sorry dude. is there anything that can be done still or are you stuck with it? -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:38
My only issue with Augusta's policy is one of consistency. The last 4 CEOs of IBM have been invited to become members. The current CEO is a woman. - rollo Apr 4, 15:28 14
- I'm certainly not saying I'm not enjoying the knots this is probably twisting them in for this. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:32 1
  - I know a couple songs by him ... "Road Regrets" I think is one. Next year's Juno will be won by Memoryhouse -- nm - rollo Apr 4, 15:34
- I a) sincerely doubt they have a policy about "gotta invite the IBM CEO" anywhere, and b) we have no idea if there have been other traditions - TFox Apr 4, 15:30 5
  - Sounds like IBM has the consistency problem. -- nm - Spawn Apr 4, 15:35 4
    - The having a penis consistency problem -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:41
    - there's so much logic in this thread! -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 15:35 2
      - Word -- nm - Mister Spock Apr 4, 15:38
      - Oh wait! this argument of yours has convinced me I'm totally wrong. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:37
- So if they invite her wouldn't that not be consistent? In your eyes they would be wrong either way. -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:29 4
  - I don't see the inconsistency ... Women are not prohibited from being asked, they just never have been. - rollo Apr 4, 15:46
  - Eh... consistency is overrated. It's what makes people consistently wrong. -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 15:40
  - Here's Bacon, laying the infallable logic smackdown. Well done. - TFox Apr 4, 15:31 1
    - Ha! -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:31
- "please to apply your blatantly sexist policy in a consistent manner" -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 15:29
"And on the seventh day, she stood back, looked upon what she had created, and smiled. For it was good." -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 15:28 9
- ...and while she was standing around, the men went and played nine holes. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:30 8
  - this is a fun page isn't it? -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:31 7
    - these are some of my favorite boards. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 15:32 6
      - This is my favoritest post in a long time. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:33 4
        
        by which I mean this one: -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:34 [Backboard] 3
        
        meaning he has none? -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:34 2
        
        it's just... you know how at the end of Oldboy (Oldboy spoils) - TFox Apr 4, 15:36 1
        
        Never seen it. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:38
      - *displays* - Simon Apr 4, 15:32
My poor buddy Simon is home, happy, if maybe walking slightly tenderly. - TFox Apr 4, 15:27 6
- You may already know this, wrap him in a heavy towel when you do either task. - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:41
- awww poor Simon ... me thinks he's not going to like much you gettin' all fresh with him up in there -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:32 2
  - fingers only! -- nm - Simon Apr 4, 15:33 1
    - snickers -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:38
- the perfect time to play the "i'm allergic to cat rectums" card with SheFox -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 15:28 1
  - well ... if Simon's the one that likes to snuggle with her ... makes sense she'd be handling it while he's relaxing with her right? -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:34
Green Band Trailer for Ted.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 4, 15:18 [youtube]
The only complaint I have about my car is it doesn't have a jack for my mp3 player. - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:17 1
- oh, this. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:18
This could've been us! -- (link) - CovingtonCat Apr 4, 15:14 2
- Those women shouldn't have been able to buy Lottery Tickets. -- nm - Liioulu si Apr 4, 15:19
- wow - that's awesome :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:18
Guess what! I can't be a Member at the Masters because I am poor. - Bacon Apr 4, 15:13 17
- They're a private club so they are free to do what they want, but exclusionary practices like theirs are archaic and ought to enter the dustbin of - TWuG Apr 4, 15:19 15
  - But, there are plenty of organizations for blacks. And Jewish. And Latinos... the list goes on and on. - con_carne Apr 4, 15:22 13
    - I think, for me, the difference is that ethnicity based group are based around an immutable characteristic - TWuG Apr 4, 15:29 6
      - being Jewish is immutable? -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:37 4
        
        Being Jewish is both an ethnicity and a religion. - TWuG Apr 4, 15:41 3
        
        but you can BECOME jewish. -- nm - loosilu Apr 4, 15:43 1
        
        But they don't encourage it. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:44
        
        It's a dessert topping AND a floor cleaner! -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:42
      - Not quite, it's golfers of the male gender. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:30
    - Though this is a club for golfers, not for men. -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 15:27
    - And many of those exist because of those exclusions. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:24 4
      - Now you are bullsh*tting. If I go to my mom's Argentine expat club, I'm not there because I was excluded from anything -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:26 1
        
        I did not say all. I said many. Not all are. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:26
      - I disagree that is why they exist -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:25 1
        
        I did not say all. I said many. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:34
  - As long as they can be free to do it, let the protest fall where they may. - Bacon Apr 4, 15:22
- It's all Meg's fault too!!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:14
Job interview advice: research the company and your desired position a little. My boss is hiring a program director... - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:11 5
- That's just laziness and you don't want to hire someone that's lazy. -- nm - spamlet Apr 4, 15:25 1
  - or a serious lack of ambition - JenBro Apr 4, 15:27
- yup, and even if they don't ask, find a way to ask a question based on that research. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 15:13 2
  - Yes, problems start during the "and now do you have any questions" portion of the interview. -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:39
  - Indeed! We hired our Sales & Marketing Coordinator last month because she asked the best questions of *us* at the interview. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:14
Beaker, what are you going to be firing at the range? -- nm - Stephen, (still) loving the Lady Irish! Apr 4, 15:04 2
- handguns of some sort... -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 15:28
- Hopefully the TARGETS! -- Hey-o -- nm - Nervous Firing Range Patrons Apr 4, 15:24
One other catch-up - the Toyota problem was shark attacks. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:04 3
- and a lack of ambition - JenBro Apr 4, 15:06 2
  - definately do not store your hams on the gas pedal. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:07 1
    - IKR? LOL -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:08
Also, if you're going to use Derek Jeter to criticize WAR, you should probably look up his numbers in it - Reagen Apr 4, 15:00 9
- I will admit I didn't look at the numbers but went off the story on ESPN yesterday. - Krusty Apr 4, 15:12 8
  - not in the farm system, but over an average player at his position. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:16 7
    - That answers some of my questions but it still seems like a flawed stat. - Krusty Apr 4, 15:22 6
      - the answer there is that it's a) not as valuable as people think and b) not as difficult as people think. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:24 4
        
        Seems rather valuable to me and it appears to be rather difficult for a bunch of guys. - Krusty Apr 4, 15:32 3
        
        my point with the situational stuff is it's one of those conventional wisdom things that baseball sticks with out of inertia and risk avoidance. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:36 2
        
        There are good reasons to give up an out. And different situations where it works. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:41
        
        Gotcha. There are a few managers that hate steals and bunts for the reason you mentioned, don't want to give up any outs. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 15:40
      - *fly ball with a runner on third not second.* -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 15:23
My car poll: the 'nervous system' seems to be going. And theres' a bit of a shimmy above 70mph. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 14:57 2
- get your wheels alligned -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:03
- MTA: I can't afford to see my sister in Chelsea or my cousin in Rocks-bu-ry. -- nm - Charlie Apr 4, 15:02
University study: Women are just as bad as men at objectifying women in music videos -- (link) - con_carne Apr 4, 14:56 1
- *blank gaze* nm -- nm - Taylor Lautner Apr 4, 14:57
This has been the week from hell. 35 hours in 3 days. - JaxSean Apr 4, 14:56 9
- I was in the cab going back to the office tallying up my week so far... - Mel Profit Apr 4, 15:10 3
  - does that include Operation Good Deed? -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 15:13 1
    - Op: Good Deed was my attempt to return the Good Karma the... - Mel Profit Apr 4, 15:16
  - *whistles innocently* .... her whole worlds come undone ... from lookin straight at the sun ... - JenBro Apr 4, 15:13
- working while on vacation means you're not really on vacation -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:04 2
  - Diva is always packing. It's true. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 4, 15:17 1
    - :D -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:18
- hey, I got a question for you, can you gchat for 2 minutes? -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 14:57 1
  - I'm mobile right now. you can call or i'll jump on when i get home. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 4, 14:59
The PGA has nothing to do with the Masters. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 14:51 46
- I really want them to protest it again so we get a Master without comercials. Please protest it!! -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:08 2
  - I say we quite watching NCIS to protest. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:11 1
    - god yes -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 15:12
- Leave the Masters alone. If you don't like it - don't watch - don't go - don't play - just don't fuck with the Masters. - JenBro Apr 4, 15:05 37
  - *bravo* -- nm - Stephen, (still) loving the Lady Irish! Apr 4, 15:15
  - I do think that at the very least they should be consistent and not allow women on the grounds during the event. And try to allow only men to watch. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:09 30
    - how would that be consistent? You do know they let women golf there, right? - Reagen Apr 4, 15:11 23
      - If they can't be members they shouldn't be allowed to golf there. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:13 22
        
        I've golfed at several private courses that I was not a member of. How does that work, do you think? -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:17 8
        
        You were either a guest of a member, you paid a fee to be a temporary member, or you entered a tournament they hosted. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:21 7
        
        so how do you think those women golfed at Augusta? -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:22 6
        
        See above. Except the tournament. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:23 5
        
        so in conclusion... -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:25 4
        
        They still aren't members. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:27 3
        
        Are women that go and play Augusta sell outs? -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:28
        
        And the point is that they can't be. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:28 1
        
        good -- nm - CQ: Middle Reliever Apr 4, 15:40
        
        was there a sale on crazy pills today? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 15:16 2
        
        And how is that not logical? If women can play there they should be able to be members. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:19 1
        
        um.... - groiny Apr 4, 15:23
        
        It's like you're lost inside a paper bag. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 15:16 3
        
        You're the one who isn't understanding. -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:17 2
        
        I understand that you have feelings, and are trying to get them onto the internet. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 15:20 1
        
        I believe I get it - unless women have full rights they should boycott it entirely. -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:20
        
        I think Women shouldn't be able to even watch the Masters on television. - Liioulu logic Apr 4, 15:15 4
        
        It's a Men's tournament silly. Why should we be allowed to watch? -- nm - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:16 3
        
        it is official, you have lost yer damn mind. -- nm - groiny Apr 4, 15:17 2
        
        It's just *now* official? -- nm - Stephen, (still) loving the Lady Irish! Apr 4, 15:20 1
        
        Silly would be the clue in this one. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:22
        
        It's not a Costco... -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 4, 15:14
    - Liioulu 2 things - 1) don't be ridiculous and 2) better hunt results please (last horn blow in MH was a bust :) ) -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:11
    - How about letting a private club do whatever the hell they want? I am for that -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:10 3
      - They can do what they want, but it's still OK to call them out if you think they're doing something wrong. -- nm - Roger More Apr 4, 15:16 2
        
        That I have no problem with. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:18
        
        Yeah, it's a free country. I am going to watch it though, guilt free. -- nm - Bacon Apr 4, 15:17
    - But how will the wives cheer their husbands on while holding parasols? -- nm - con_carne Apr 4, 15:10
  - I want to join Curves and be a Waiter at Hooters!!!! - Bacon Apr 4, 15:08 1
    - Pippy already made you an offer on how to get the second thing. -- nm - Reagen Apr 4, 15:09
  - look at the potty mouth on you. - Reagen Apr 4, 15:07 1
    - sorry ... - JenBro Apr 4, 15:09
  - yeah, Reagen! -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 15:06
- They do with the golfers that participate. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 14:55 4
  - all the profits from broadcast rights to the Masters go directly to Augusta National -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 14:57 2
    - I meant Augusta in the second paragraph. - the liioulu with Apr 4, 15:03
    - yup, it is why they go commercial free some years -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 14:58
  - I wish women had a private shopping tournament that I wasn't allowed in, so I could not care about it. -- nm - TFox Apr 4, 14:57
Hey Pippy from bb's - eag Apr 4, 14:47 1
- Also - eag Apr 4, 14:51
But how can a woman golf with no shoes and a big pregnant belly? nm -- nm - Augusta Apr 4, 14:42 10
- look, if John Daly can . . -- nm - pixitude Apr 4, 14:42 9
  - yeah yeah - take away that oversize driver and he's nothing -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:10 7
    - no, he's kind of a freak of nature for distance - pixitude Apr 4, 15:13 6
      - no - I get it - but could he do it with a regular driver? I think not -- nm - JenBro Apr 4, 15:22 5
        
        it's more in the way he swings the club, not the size of the head - pixitude Apr 4, 15:26
        
        he's not using anything that much out of the ordinary from what everyone else is - Reagen Apr 4, 15:23 3
        
        right right ... what I'm sayin' is - he's not THAT impressive without the club for it's ability to give him distance - JenBro Apr 4, 15:26 2
        
        well sure if we all had to go back to hickory sticks, no one would be reaching 250 - Reagen Apr 4, 15:30 1
        
        agreed ... just sayin' the guy got on the radar because the club allowed him to get there - JenBro Apr 4, 15:36
  - we like to ring him out after a round, and refill our liquor cabinet. nm -- nm - Augusta Apr 4, 14:43
Don't know if this is going to work. But we here at ST know why this church is evil... -- (link) - the liioulu with Apr 4, 14:39
