    - Can you tell I don't like clowns? (nm) - spamlet Apr 17, 10:14
    - talk about escalation. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:14
- I'm hoping it's a sabbatical. Sometimes we just need a break. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 17, 10:11 1
  - True that. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:13

hmm, just heard of someone else getting a temporary error 500 from gmail. So you're not alone. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 09:56 8
- Whoohoo! - znufrii Apr 17, 10:01
- I'm mad at gmail right now anyway. They finally forced the new version on me and it doesn't work at the office. So I default to basic HTML and it sux -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 10:01
- I'm getting it as well. - spamlet Apr 17, 10:00 4
  - heheh .. "English, browserf***er, do you speak it?!" ....... "Si, senor." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 10:01 3
    - I've set every setting to English Google tells me to but I can always tell which languages go by browser language settings rather than IP. - spamlet Apr 17, 10:02 2
      - so why not uninstall and re-install? -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 10:04 1
        
        I'm afraid Google is smarter than that. - spamlet Apr 17, 10:05

- I can only hope they are behind the scenes when they are discuss this monstrousity they call a scoreboard. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:58 8
  - Not the scoreboard. The Home Run Thing. Sweet jeebus is that thing awful. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:00 1
    - yeah, that is what I meant. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 10:00
  - that home run thing is the greatest thing to happen to MLB this year. I love it -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 17, 09:59 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - I disagree mostly because it obviously *tried* to go over lame to kitsch. That takes it right back to lame. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:13 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I did? Honest to jeebus, I didn't think I did. - musubi Apr 17, 10:20

- *punches Loria in the nuts* Sorry, just a reflex. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 09:56
Don't think it's coincidence that Moose shows up only after the Mets beat the Braves four games in a row. - David Apr 17, 09:50 24
- he has just been waiting til Chipper retired to come back. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:52 11
  - I'm fairly certain that Chipper will never retire. He shall play till he's 70. And he'll OPS .900 against the Mets the entire time. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:56 10
    - it has been Mets kryptonite. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:57 9
      - Him and Pat Burrell. Thank god Pat the Bat finally retired. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:59 8
        
        I wonder if Mets fans will cheer for Chipper during his last visit to Shea. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:00 7
        
        I wouldn't cheer him, but I'd certainly give him a standing O. It's a love-hate thing. - musubi Apr 17, 10:01 6
        
        The applause should be for him never hurting the Mets again. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:04 5
        
        He'd find a way. He'll probably run David Wright over with his car while driving out of the stadium parking lot. - musubi Apr 17, 10:06 4
        
        But isn't it near the end of the season? It wouldn't matter anyway at that point. (nm) - spamlet Apr 17, 10:12 3
        
        I find your callousness over the vehicular homicide of my favorite poster to be offensive! I QUIT! - musubi Apr 17, 10:15 2
        
        I just assumed a flesh wound, not a death. QUIT OVERANALYZING MY POSTS! (nm) - spamlet Apr 17, 10:17 1
        
        ANGRY TIRADE! INSINUATIONS OF QUESTIONABLE PARENTAGE! (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:19
- MLB.com says it happened in 2010. Just sayin'. - musubi Apr 17, 09:52 11
  - Suuuuuuure it did. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:52 10
    - I certainly don't remember it, as I have wiped that season from my memory, but are you calling MLB a liar? (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:54 4
      - They have a Nasty Factor of -76. - David Apr 17, 09:56 3
        
        AFAICT, Nasty Factor is a created by a Random Number Generator. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:58 2
        
        Did you see that SI is using WAR as their sole determinant in their power rankings? -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:00 1
        
        I haven't visited SI since Joe Pos left. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:03

      - Kim would have some funny stories to tell about last night's game. - David Apr 17, 09:55
      - To be fair, it worked last time he did it to Ike. Threw something like 9 curveballs out of 12 total pitches. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:55 2
        
        "are you saying Jesus Christ can't hit a cuveball?" nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:55 1
        
        Ike has a better beard than Jesus. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:02
This was LIR: Dawson but it's more than that - oblique Apr 17, 09:49 4
- For me, the whole situation reminds me of what I hate about this season of Amazing Race. (spoilers) - David Apr 17, 10:04

  - That resentment is certainly understandable. It's like letting the terrorists win. - Ser Vermyn Apr 17, 10:03 1

        Amazon has announced that rather than mailing our pre-orders, geeks will have to pick them up at polling stations. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 09:56
We are converting a girl at the theater to a geek. She is starting to dig comics. Some of the guys have introduced her to some Spider-man and Avengers - sycor Apr 17, 09:47 17
- And she prefers Marvel to DC. So Marvel suggestions would also be appreciated. -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 10:00
- you should introdube her to your penis. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:54 3
  - he comes across as more of an extrodube to me. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 10:07
  - hehe -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 09:58
  - introdube. heh -- nm - oblique Apr 17, 09:55

- Identity Crisis is the best thing ever in comics. -- nm - David Apr 17, 09:52 6
  - yeah I need to read this too. It happened after I stopped reading. - sycor Apr 17, 09:58 4
    - I find most comics middling to juvenile. The ones that have stood out to me are: Runaways, Secret Six, Birds of Prey and Y the Last Man. - David Apr 17, 10:01 3
      - Runaways and Y were pretty good. I'm also going to try to get her to read Walking Dead. -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 10:02 2
        
        You must hate her. - David Apr 17, 10:05 1
        
        I loved it. *shrug* -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 10:10
  - best thing that isn't Scot Snyder Batman. -- nm - Remlik Apr 17, 09:54
- There's still no chance any of you will score with her. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 17, 09:49 3
  - That isn't the point. :P She asked us so we are merely following the geek code. -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 09:50 2
    - there's a code? -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 17, 09:55 1
      - Yeah, go forth and convert others. Especially chicks. -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 09:59

  - [deleted] 2
    - FWIW, I agree with you to an extent, but - pmb Apr 17, 10:27 1
      - [deleted]
  - This is an exceptional post. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:14 2
    - pmb's posts usually are. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:18
    - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:16
  - no, we can't "remind her of the lines" because we are the evil empire - groiny Apr 17, 10:12 5
    - I don't mean "you" individually. - pmb Apr 17, 10:17 2
      - I understand that, but I also see a really big double standard in play here. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 10:19 1
        
        It is easy to call someone out for yelling at someone. It is an obvious affront - oblique Apr 17, 10:22
    - I think you can - oblique Apr 17, 10:16 1
      - it reminds me of the scenes in a horror film, where the girl gets undressed and gets in the shower.... - groiny Apr 17, 10:18

        [deleted] 2
        
        Many people contacted me. I wish that were not an exaggeration. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:30 1
        
        [deleted]
  - That was vehemently? Dude, you really don't know me then. - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 10:08
  - but, did you ever consider that there is a reason why that is? - groiny Apr 17, 10:06
  - fwiw, you (and whoever else) were right to be angry with me. i totally lost my cool and effed up. - TFox Apr 17, 10:06 3

Apparently, I'm inactive in SLACK? - Mel Profit Apr 17, 09:45 1

- Avengers, Brave, Prometheus, MIB3 (guilt pleasure) and Batman. -- nm - sycor Apr 17, 09:49

- I un-ironically love Frenchy now that he doens't play for the Mets. I really do. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:41 7
  - And I use the term "play" rather loosely, obviously. (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 09:42 6
    - hey now..... oh, nevermind. - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 09:43 5
      - Have you seen this? I really do like Frenchy the person. - musubi Apr 17, 09:45 4
        
        too bad he isnt doing that for fans at his home stadium. -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 17, 09:47 2
