  - You gaywads open that picture and stare at her *hair*? -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 17, 11:00 3
    - That style really complements her facial features nicely, but it could be improved to add a bit more drama. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 11:02 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 11:02
    - This was the *third* time I had seen them, so yes. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 11:01

      - Elvis. (nm) - musubi 3 Apr 17, 10:59 1
        
        I was thinking neither him or Jerry Lawler look to be guys that can play ball or throw a rope from center. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 17, 11:02
      - He is likely the most famous softball player of all time. Travelled around the world. 4 players. pitcher, catcher, first baseman and a rover. - Beaker Apr 17, 10:58 4
        
        Eddie Feigner is his name. I highly recommend reading his wiki entry -- nm - Beaker Apr 17, 11:00 3
        
        Very interesting. I'll check him out. -- nm - Krusty Apr 17, 11:01 2
        
        "In the game Feigner struck out Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Maury Wills, and Harmon Killebrew all in a row." -- (link) - Beaker Apr 17, 11:01 1

      - *crowns you* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 10:57 1
        
        Where's my ceptor and crown? - Krusty Apr 17, 11:07

- I have never cared this little about a season ever. The entire casting office should be fired. - MDH Apr 17, 10:42 8

    - i do enjoy Contagious Girl - prayformojo Apr 17, 10:47 2

        "The game is afoot." *everybody laughs* -- nm - con_carne Apr 17, 10:59

    - She's my favorite actually! She's the only one with any sense of a brain. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 10:45 2
      - I was telling someone yesterday that I think she's the best new player since Stephen/JT. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:47 1
        
        definitely. and she still has ways to go, but she could end up being one of the best. -- nm - Jovian Apr 17, 10:56
- He was clearly the Colton of the group - prayformojo Apr 17, 10:40 2
  - Lucky, lucky, lucky you. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:47

LIR - how much of a selection is there on HBO Go? - prayformojo Apr 17, 10:35 6
- It has almost everything from their tv shows. Plus recent movies, and a fair number of docs. - Don Homer Apr 17, 10:39 1
  - Thank you. If I get it I'll watch every show they've ever broadcast, except for The Wire - prayformojo Apr 17, 10:39
- LYC: every time someone uses LIR, I think they're saying Long Island Railroad. It's maddening -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 17, 10:37 2

Ted Nugent: "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." -- (link) - MDH Apr 17, 10:32 27
- Pretty clear edit right after that sentence. (is this an NBC video?) :) - Ser Vermyn Apr 17, 10:43 13
  - I watched the whole piece from Mara's link. While there is an edit there, it doesn't change the context. It just cuts out the crowd reaction. - pmb Apr 17, 11:01 1
    - thanks for taking one for the team. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 17, 11:03
  - But RightWingWatch seems like a fair enough website! -- nm - spamlet Apr 17, 10:48

    - Heh. "We got people from every walk of life here..." *camera pans across the 100% white audience* nm - Dignan Apr 17, 10:55 5
      - Your point is well taken, though... - Ser Vermyn Apr 17, 11:03 2
        
        Not strictly. But if there isn't a single minority in your crowd, it's nowhere near all walks. nm - Dignan Apr 17, 11:07
        
        "Walk of life" has to include skin color/ethnicity or it's meaningless. - TWuG Apr 17, 11:05
      - Same thing could be said for Mitt Romney's rallies. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 10:59 1
        
        the convention is gonna be aweshum -- nm - pixitude Apr 17, 11:01
  - I haven't listened to the clip but the Nooge isn't exactly known for nuanced, subtle conversation. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:46 2
    - Wait, what? Cat Scratch Fever was about pussy?! -- nm - TWuG Apr 17, 10:47 1

- But how does he really feel? - Krusty Apr 17, 10:37
- One good song Ted doesn't entitle you to decades of buffoonery. - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:35 4
  - You'd better be talking about Stranglehold and not Cat Scratch Fever. Or *shudder* Wango Tango. nm - Dignan Apr 17, 10:39 3
    - Only closested self loathing Republicans like those two songs. - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:41

      - I often wonder if there's a sadder, lonelier path through life than the one taken by Ted Nugent fans. nm - Dignan Apr 17, 10:43
- [deleted] 1
  - If the Ted Nugent I mentioned below is *not* the same one, then we are sufficiently full and can deny him access. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 10:35
- I wonder if this is the same Ted Nugent whose nature photos I sometimes see on "The Frame", my cable co's photography channel -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 10:34
- Honest to god, I know he's mostly hot air, but hasn't his jibber jabber kinda elevated to the level of terroristic threat? (nm) - musubi 4 Apr 17, 10:34 1
  - When he talked about shoving a gun barrel into Hillary's mouth, I thought that was way over the top. - GregW Apr 17, 10:37
- good riddance. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 10:33
FYI - Gmail just loaded for me. -- nm - spamlet Apr 17, 10:31 4

  - you sir, are brilliant. -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 10:37
Bery just revealed the fate of this message board. It's...complicated. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:24 5
- ... it involves Bill Mumy. I can't say more. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 17, 10:27 1
  - His daughter turned 18 yesterday, is it still CDB to mention her? -- nm - zork Apr 17, 10:30
- He's going to use it as his admission essay to Clown College? (nm) - musubi Apr 17, 10:26 2
  - Time travel is involved. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:27 1
    - He will, but it won't work the way he thinks it will. (nm) - musubi prime Apr 17, 10:28
I've never had my Gaydar so completely fail me as it did last night... - Mel Profit Apr 17, 10:23 8
- I had this happen once in the late 90s. - David Apr 17, 10:26 1
  - ya don't say? the worst case of blue bal... nah, I can't do that to David. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 10:47
- .. except for that one time in Vegas. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 10:24
- you know, there is a 3rd option. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 10:24
- A "date" doesn't mean a girlfriend. I've brought women to event's as my date before. -- nm - MDH Apr 17, 10:24 3
  - There's a difference between a date and a fig. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 17, 10:32

- I can only assume this started out as a sarcastic joke that the boss thought was a great idea. -- nm - spamlet Apr 17, 10:30 1
  - It was likely one of those ideas you include to make the others look *good* - Strongbad Apr 17, 10:31
- They have opened themselves up to soooo many lawsuits from people who gouge out their own eyes. -- nm - David Apr 17, 10:29
- It would be cool, if the Marlins were a franchise, from the 60's or 70's, and it had a 50 year tradition -- nm - flavorize Apr 17, 10:26 1
  - I expect Austin Powers to jump out of it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 10:26
- I finally understand why Mike Stanton isn't hitting worth a damn. He doesn't want to inflict that monstrosity on anyone. - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:24 10
  - dude, Hanley CRUSHED a ball the other night, it did not even make the warning track in left center. - groiny Apr 17, 10:26 7
    - Yeah, I'm regretting my choice of Mike Stanton in the ST league. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:28 6
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Yeah, that is one auction I'm glad I tapped out of. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:31
      - the rumors of a 50 home run season have been greatly exaggerated. - groiny Apr 17, 10:29 3
        
        Have they been playing with the dome closed or open? - musubi prime Apr 17, 10:31 2
        
        they showed on MLB network the other night several swings by Marlins - groiny Apr 17, 10:34

  - [deleted] 1
    - Mike's a pussy. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:25
- It's the worst thing I've seen in a sports stadium. No hyperbole. - Krusty Apr 17, 10:24 16
  - [deleted] 15
    - But it ain't Marlins baseball. There's no empty seats on any of the dolphins. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:28 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I don't think I saw a crowd that small when I was working on a cold weekday night in the Jays' early days down at cold cold Exhibition Stadium. -- nm - zork Apr 17, 10:33
    - Good point. Itone of the ugliest cities I've ever visited. -- nm - Krusty Apr 17, 10:27 11

        Sweetend...what am I a savage? -- nm - Krusty Apr 17, 10:40 2
        
        No, but now you are thirsty. *yoink* -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 17, 10:41 1
