- is it those wine glasses with the peel off lid thingies? i can see them being sold at street food festivals etc. - Andie Apr 17, 09:30 1
  - it's that exactly. street fairs, i can see that -- nm - pixitude Apr 17, 09:31

        If he were winking, it'd be *perfect*. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:35 2
        
        he is winking, just not with his eyes. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:36 1

[deleted] 5
- yup, although that pitch was a ball..... - groiny Apr 17, 09:22 4
  - I didn't see the pitch, but it couldn't have been as bad as the pitches that the 3 pitches that rung up Cody Ross. - musubi Apr 17, 09:25 3
    - I agree, look at the last few days, we have a triple play being turned on a bad call.... - groiny Apr 17, 09:28 2
      - I thought Ross was going to turn around and literally strangle that ump. - musubi Apr 17, 09:30 1
        
        there is nothing worse than not being able to even swing the bat, and getting rung up. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:30
B2: I don't think forced rolls will help one bit. - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:21 6
- What about forced *hot* *buttered* rolls, made from scratch? - musubi Apr 17, 09:22 5
  - agreed. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 09:31
  - Yum, big fat un-sliceable rolls. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:23
  - i think you've had enough -- nm - pixitude Apr 17, 09:23 2
    - Too much is never enough. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:25 1
      - Enough is enough - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:26

For one day at least, the corpse of Jason Bay remembered how to play baseball. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:16 6
- [deleted] 3
  - Bwhahahahaha. Oh wait, you're serious? (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:21 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I mean, you could do worse.....but not much worse. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:27
- that was a dandy snag...Canadian! -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:17 1
  - It's the best defensive play I've seen Bay make. - musubi Apr 17, 09:20
Anyone who saw Shark Tank last week can't help but look at this and laugh. Its fatal flaw? - prayformojo Apr 17, 09:12 11
- That's pretty incredible. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:18
- why do I have a feeling that sucking water out of the air will eventually have bad side effects -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 09:14 2
  - yes, that was my immediate thought. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 09:16
  - uh oh, he's on to us -- nm - Rain Apr 17, 09:14
- I'd better tell Aunt Beru about this. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 09:14
- that dude was awesome -- nm - pixitude Apr 17, 09:13 5
  - he was but then the wine guy topped him -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:16 4
    - it was a great moment for Cuban -- nm - prayformojo Apr 17, 09:20 1
      - yes it was -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:30
    - Copa di Douchebag -- nm - pixitude Apr 17, 09:19 1
      - my mouth just fell open - I couldn't believe it. - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:20
Hmm, I've never been entirely happy with dried bananas in the past - they've not seemed crispy enough. This batch is great - - MojaveMeg Apr 17, 09:09 2
- Glad you got that sorted out -- nm - Starving African Baby Apr 17, 09:14 1
  - But see, if you dried them when they were available you wouldn't be starving now! -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 17, 09:26
so I've been to the Nurse Practioner a couple times about my left knee. No obvious swelling or anything - Beaker Apr 17, 09:07 9
- did you notice anything when it first started hurting? did you twist funny and feel any pop? - groiny Apr 17, 09:11
- meniscus issues? chondromalacia? bone on bone? any creaking? clicking? difficulty with stairs? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:09 7
  - stairs are one of the few times it doesn't bother me weirdly. no noticeable sounds -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:11 6
    - possible tear inside there - a small one cause there is no swelling. wrap it - it may heal - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:17 5
      - (not here :) ). Have an appointment with an actual doc for May - Beaker Apr 17, 09:19 4
        
        got any naproxen? that shit works wonders -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:19 3
        
        I try and avoid painkillers if at all possible, drives my wife crazy -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:20 2
        
        naproxen is not a pain killer - more like an anti inflamm - aleve is over the counter but if you can have a nurse call you in some -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:21 1
        
        ahh, gotha. we likely have some. I'll pop a few tonight (I've been icing it too). Thanks all. -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:22
We might be needing this today. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 17, 09:05
I am not a gun. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:01 1
- so you're for shooting and not for fun? -- nm - zork Apr 17, 09:03
syfy - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:59 6
- speaking of syfy, pilot for Rewind is also being done at the same studio as the JakeG thing below. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 09:01 2
  - Before anybody gets too excited, it's not -that- Rewind. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:04 1
    - heh. I was just like wait what what?? -- nm - Jovian Apr 17, 09:09
- errg, should have included eureka spoils. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:59 2
  - You have a Halo betrayal in your near future. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:02 1
    - and? -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 09:07
Maynard James Keenan....48 today -- nm - Remlik Apr 17, 08:54 1
- dang. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 17, 08:59
[deleted] 5
- I disagree that Tannehill will there at #8. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:15 3
  - IIRC he does his mocks without taking any kind of trades into account to limit the guesswork -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 09:16 1
    - [deleted]
  - (be) -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:15
- 9 days till the draft! -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 08:57
nmb spawn --nmbspawn - oblique Apr 17, 08:50 64
- [deleted] 42
  - to answer your IM - oblique Apr 17, 08:56 41
    - [deleted] 39
      - Jack, I didn't drag you into anything and I'm not trying to. I am not speaking to one side as I said on the last board and this one. What I'm saying - oblique Apr 17, 09:05 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        I think of policing specifically as something done by Berry so maybe that helps clarify where I was coming from -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 09:11 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I usually see that as the "piling on" phase - oblique Apr 17, 09:20 5
        
        Forget it, kilbo, it's Chinatown. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:30

        [deleted] 2
        
        and also hits the nail on the head, IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:22 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:35
      - Do you think your last line is respectful or necessary? -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:03 28
        
        I can agree with his frustration to the issues at hand...... - groiny Apr 17, 09:08 27
        
        I've read that post over and over and can't see the offense....I must be missing some inside info or a private joke. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:12 22
        
        I think a big part of the reaction was the dismissal of it when he stated in his own way, that he was not cool with it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:13 21
        
        What I interpreted from Loosi's responses was that she was baffled by HIS response, as am I. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:21 19
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        I'm saying her comment was outside the normal "offensive" categories; race, religion, politics, sex, gender, etc. How are we supposed to know - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:30 6
        
        [deleted]
        
        that might be the funniest IM I have read in years here.nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 4
        
        I have the same issue with my kids right now which is why maybe I'm more sensitive to this currently - oblique Apr 17, 09:36 3
        
        It is very similar, but there is something else at play here that I think is not fully recognized. - pmb Apr 17, 09:45
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        My 2 cents - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:43
        
        "I'm sorry." - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:22 10
        
        This is the one and only thing I will say. I immediately sent Max an apology in email. - loosilu Apr 17, 09:24 9
        
        That was appropriate to take it off ST. I think the mistake you made was continuing the conversation with others on ST. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:26 8
        
        but, this is also part of the issue, he offended him ON ST. - groiny Apr 17, 09:30 7
        
        One possible reason - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:33 3
        
        I think you do both. - groiny Apr 17, 09:34 1
        
        yep, and you can include some things in the email that you wouldn't put on ST, but you still show your sincerity to the board -- nm - zork Apr 17, 09:39
        
        Technically, going out of your way to do it would be to do both. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:34
        
        because that's totally worked to defuse the situation in the past... -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 09:31 2
        
        show me, don't tell me. - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 1
        
        except by the time people realized he might be serious, the pile-on was already underway - znufrii Apr 17, 09:36
        
        *ding* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:14
        
        burn the witch! - znufrii Apr 17, 09:11 3
        
        BURN THE GINGERS!!!!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:12 2
        
        you know Christina Hendricks would have to go. Yall best think about this. - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:19 1
        
        Fake gingers don't count. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:22
    - people are doing those things because it is the only thing they feel they can do to not make things worse. They all have something in mind ... - zork Apr 17, 09:00
- and look how much that helped yesterday....... nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 08:53 19
  - Someone made a joke! Won't someone please think of the children? - David Apr 17, 09:13 18
    - I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:34
    - *sigh*. "I have a great deal of confidence from private conversations this morning that other outside observers agree on this point" - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:19 8
      - That's obvious given the fact that the same group...well, you know. - David Apr 17, 09:30 7
        
        L2. Show me where I owe kilbo an apology. Show me where I owe amoxy an apology. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:38 3
        
        This thread is not who you are as a person. -- (link) - David Apr 17, 09:39 [Backboard] 2
        
        And to clarify, there have been a lot of people quiting ST in recent months/years. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:52
        
        I don't call something that causes a long time poster to quit, "bullshit". - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:46
        
        *nods* (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:37
        
        In print, it's libel. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 09:33 1
        
        Touche. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:38
    - I am not upset so much about the virgin joke, but obviously max was irriatated by it. - groiny Apr 17, 09:15 7
      - I'll be transparent and honest rather than diplomatic this one time. - David Apr 17, 09:38 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm the wrong person to ask, I think. If I don't like someone, I just cut the microphone. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:42
      - may have been "obvious" to you... - znufrii Apr 17, 09:19 3
        
        i don't think Max's irritation was in question, he clearly stated it and is entitled to feel however he wants for his own reasons. - Andie Apr 17, 09:22
        
        He *quit* ST over it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:21
        
        and several others didn't. - groiny Apr 17, 09:20
- sorry, i snooped on the nmb - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:51
Who's into Jake Gyl. I might have opportunity to kipnap him for you. Studio on my way to work if filming An Enemy -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:48 4
- meh. I'll pass. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 08:49 2
  - really? - zork Apr 17, 08:50 1
    - L3! to the IM - not enough of a " bad boy" for me -- nm - Epiphany Apr 17, 09:06
- if = is -- nm - zork Apr 17, 08:48
is it lunch time yet? -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 08:45
Liek now. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 08:45 1
