  - A mop. - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:56 11
    - And how about Swiffer? -- nm - pmb Apr 5, 13:57
    - A boy mop or a girl mop. -- nm - pmb Apr 5, 13:57 9
      - It currently is refered to as Foster. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:57 8
        
        Bananas. You can keep Foster as his 'last name'. - Dr.Vermin Apr 5, 14:09
        
        unrelated: I never see Foster's lager offered on tap around here. It was everywhere in NYS. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:59 6
        
        due to the robust Australian ex-pat community in NYC - znufrii Apr 5, 14:04 5
        
        i don't think any self respecting Australian drinks Fosters, do they? -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 14:06 4
        
        isn't it like Molson's to Canadians and Stella Artois to Belgians and Miller to United Statesians? -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 14:08 3
        
        Mexican's wont drink Coronas and Aussies beer of choice is VB which stands for Victor Bitters. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 14:11
        
        yeah. fun fact: we don't even have a beer called 'Molsons' in Canada. There are a ton of beers Molson's makes, but they are called other things. - Andie Apr 5, 14:11 1
        
        yeah. We call Labatt's 'Blue' at least where I'm form. And Molson's seemed to come in a blue can and Molson's Canadian came in a Green, white and red - Diva Apr 5, 14:20

Hello, I will be over here waiting for someone to translate/explain Banzai's recent FB post to me. - Dr.Vermin Apr 5, 13:44

- Now that I understand the chart, it shows me the cars that have the most inflated prices to start with. - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 14:07
- Heh, and when I bought I got a $1,200 tax credit! - spamlet Apr 5, 14:05
- It doesn't include the savings on maintenance. My civic hybrid requires much less than a regular car. - ceregon Apr 5, 14:03
- "Annual Fuel Savings" Thnaks for giving us a vague number without the math to back it up. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:46 20
  - [deleted] 19
    - But as compared to what? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:49 14
      - To the closest non-hybrid model. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 5, 13:51
      - [deleted] 1
        
        The two Fiestas made me think it was saying this is for these two cars, not that they were compared. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 14:02
      - each model is compared to its "normal" version or comparable model. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 13:51 9
        
        which should be obvious in the chart. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 13:51 8
        
        Eh. Since we do not know *what* they are comparing it to the useability is reduced. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:56 7
        
        huh? - znufrii Apr 5, 14:00 4
        
        Yeah, see below. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 14:01 3
        
        I was almost convinced you were putting me on, and being obtuse on purpose. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 14:02 2
        
        I thought Fiesta was the baseline and Fiesta SFE was like an LE, or something. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 14:04 1
        
        happens to the best of us. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 14:05
        
        i'm so lost. - TFox Apr 5, 13:57 1
        
        LOFL. I see it. Did not realize it was two cars per section. Thought one line was highway, one was city. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 14:01
      - the gas mileage of one, compared to the gas mileage of the other? -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:50
    - yeah, i just checked it at 12k and came up with a lower number. - TFox Apr 5, 13:48 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        in 40 years you can auction it at Barretts for big bucks as a collectors item -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 14:29
        
        that is shocking. Jetta for the win -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:52
- Those numbers seem low in terms of the fuel cost savings, but maybe not. -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:44
- from Jetta to Ford - the range is nuts. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:43
Raise your hand if you are talking about winning the 2013 NCAA Mens Basketball title. -- (link) - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:35
Huh. The re-release of Titanic was not the #1 movie yesterday. - Inigo Apr 5, 13:33 49
- I just watched the clip on IMDB and I thought it funny that they mentioned it was by James Cameron - amoxy Apr 5, 14:07
- Spawn went 3 times yesterday -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 13:42 6
  - But I bought three Hunger Games tickets. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:43 5
    - we doing Cabin in the Woods? -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 13:47 4
      - when does this start? - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:49 3
        
        this weekend, Baybee! (right?) -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:49 2
        
        oh HELLS yes. SM owes me a movie night - I'm collecting on this - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:51 1
        
        sounds good. Imma try to catch it on Saturday. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:52
- It only had 1 showtime at every theater I checked. -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 13:36 2
  - i just checked - looks like 3 screenings per day here. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:40 1
    - Starting today it's multiple screenings/theaters, yesterday was only 1 showtime 6:30PM -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 13:49
- Why "Huh"? - Iron Spawn Apr 5, 13:35
- Based on tracking, Hunger Game will very possibly beat both American Reunion and Titanic 3D this weekend. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 13:35 4
  - They don't think AMPI3 or Titanic get to 30mil? - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:40 1
    - MTC had 26 and 21 -- (link) - ty97 Apr 5, 13:46
  - I'll be very surprised if that happens. -- nm - David Apr 5, 13:39
  - well, AR doesn't even COUNT in that comparison, does it? -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:36
- [deleted] 31
  - i was trying to remember if i played it. 97 is when i started on HSX but i think it predates me just ever so slightly. i think. - Andie Apr 5, 13:36 30
    - It opened a couple of weeks after I started playing and was too rich for me. IIRC it actually adjusted down...to $72? -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 5, 13:44
    - I only bought 10k shares of it before leaving college to go home for winter break - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:36 28
      - dumbass -- nm - pixitude Apr 5, 13:38
      - do you find it slightly crazy that you remember that? -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:37 26
        
        naw, I remember some of my early scores and massive losses, I came in '98 and remember TITAN talked about still warmly like a mink coat in miami -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:40
        
        i find it slightly crazy that we all were that into it, and that virtually none of us play anymore. - TFox Apr 5, 13:40 20
        
        I was really into during college, and when it went orange, I literally cold turkey-ed it in a week. -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 13:52
        
        I was still playing until they upped the number of shares. - Diva Apr 5, 13:48 3
        
        too bad they didn't have an option: "e-mail Support to max all your shares" -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:50 2
        
        if they really had that and I didn't know i'm going to start laughing. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:53 1
        
        i wouldn't know; i haven't been back to check. - TFox Apr 5, 13:55
        
        If they hadn't changed the game basics around, I'd be playing still quite a lot - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:42 2
        
        that plus the removal of comm free saturdays. I used to buy stocks in coded amounts, the last couple numbers would tell me which month to look at it - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:46 1
        
        No codes needed for me. Buy max -- check to see if it's a loser or a winner. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:48
        
        well they oranged it all up - quite an easy decision and I played for 10 years - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:41 11
        
        It was definitely the Orangening for me -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 14:11
        
        i trickled off more than anything. but for years i cared *DEEPLY*. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:42 9
        
        how many other things did we work on that hard for that long, and then just... drop? -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:44 8
        
        I guess I didn't work as hard as some of you. Just got bored. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:50
        
        nothing - I got nothing like that. I made peace with it though - I was always going to quit, they made me do it sooner than planned -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:48
        
        my photog career -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:47
        
        it is pretty insane. and that is was just massively widespread. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:45 3
        
        If they didn't change, I have little doubt I'd still be there. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:47 2
        
        yep. it would have been unlikely for me to completely leave behind something to which I'd given so much time/effort. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 14:12
        
        I really stopped playing full time by 2002 -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 14:09
        
        SimSports for me. ... I played pretty religiously for 4 years there, and then, just didn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:45
        
        Little bit, but I remember numbers to a degree that's scary in a lot of ways. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:39 3
        
        no, that's what i mean. like i am sure i didn't play it because i would remember. but it's one stock out of hundreds? thousands? i played over a - Andie Apr 5, 13:41 2
        
        I'm a numbers geek so what it did was beyond the pale. Easy to remember. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:43

That's awesome. Couldn't have ended better. :-) - Krusty Apr 5, 13:19 15
- I don't see why Verlander didn't pitch the ninth. He was on a 2 hitter and had only 105 pitches -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 13:30 4
  - I think going to the closer is the right move but I understand why people question it. - Krusty Apr 5, 13:34 3
    - I think you should let the reigning MVP try for the shutout. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 5, 13:39 2
      - Fair enough. He's not just any SP, you have a good point. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 13:45
      - Yeah, first base runner, go get him or tell him 115 pitches... -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:40

- heh... -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:22
- Sure it coulda, with someone other then Valverde getting the win :) -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:22
- Well, a different pitcher could have gotten the win. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 5, 13:21 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 13:24
