Cabin in the Woods spoiler - prayformojo Apr 18, 08:42 3
- I think that was part of the point (spoilers) - Inigo Apr 18, 08:49
- had they... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:45
- spoils - Roger More Apr 18, 08:45
who mentioned the rumour that Giada can't cook? - zork Apr 18, 08:36 4
- What about the Cordon Bleu of Pasadena? -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:39
- she can cook for me anytime..... - groiny Apr 18, 08:37 2
  - her giant teeth freak me out -- nm - prayformojo Apr 18, 08:41
  - hell yes -- nm - zork Apr 18, 08:40
Here's the Torres hit on Hossa from last night -- (link) - Beaker Apr 18, 08:35 11
- Epic. Also, incredibly dirty. That should be a suspension. The puck was nowhere near Hossa. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:41
- And no frikkin' penalty called. Awful. - pmb Apr 18, 08:41 3
  - Any chance the ref(s) are dirty? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:42 2
    - I wouldn't go that far, but there was a ref literally 5 feet away from it. He is looking in a different direction, but it's hard to believe he didn't - pmb Apr 18, 08:46 1
      - I would also add that the only penalty on the play was called against the blackhawks player who went to defend Hossa. - pmb Apr 18, 08:47
- and notice Toews barking at their bench while he is on the stretcher. - groiny Apr 18, 08:39
- he is lucky he made it out of the United Center alive last night. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:37 2
  - I'm amazed they didn't keep him over night at the hospital. I guess that's a good sign. -- nm - pmb Apr 18, 08:43 1
    - oh, I was talking about the guy who hit him. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:44
- damn, both feet off the ice -- nm - J Apr 18, 08:36 1
  - targetted the head, plus Torres is a frequent flyer when it comes to cheap shots -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 08:37
heh: "Axl disappointed so many people in Cleaveland that he should be wearing a Browns uniform" -- nm - zork Apr 18, 08:22 3
- Even for d-bag rock stars he's really crossed over into another realm... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:28 2
  - Yeah, he really moved the chains. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 08:28 1
    - It's one thing to be a complete asshole when you're a young rock star but... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:31
Netflix has confirmed that all 10 new episodes of "Arrested Development" will debut on the same day -- (link) - MDH Apr 18, 08:15 3
- April 1st? -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 08:26
- That seems ... graceless, in a way. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 08:25 1
  - This is the way people consume media now. -- nm - David Apr 18, 08:38
ABC's new list of GOP VP candidates. (Have you heard of Rob Portman?) -- (link) - mara Apr 18, 08:15 7
- I think it'll be one of: Portman, Ryan, or McDonnell. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:43
- [deleted] 1
  - like she's going to take a tough, low paying job... -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:43
- Interesting that they do not even mention Kay Bailey Hutchison, yet she is one of the three in the "related videos" segment. -- nm - GregW Apr 18, 08:35
- I think so - was he the former US lead trade negotiator? -- nm - Roger More Apr 18, 08:20
- Not until yesterday when NPR did an interview with a Republican guy who put him at the top of the list -- nm - decline Apr 18, 08:17
- Hahaha. Oh GOP, you're too funny. -- nm - MDH Apr 18, 08:16

- *waits for the znu/Dawson blow up that will tear ST asunder* -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 08:33 6
  - that only happens for season ending cliffhangers and they have long term contracts so you know next season they make up - zork Apr 18, 08:38
  - meh. cranky znu is no fun for anybody. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 08:36 1
    - [deleted]
  - again? -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:34 2
    - I can see it becoming a weekly thing. - Iron Spawn Apr 18, 08:34 1
      - "Next week, on AS THE COOKIE CRUMBLES ..." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 08:36
- *sigh* - znufrii Apr 18, 08:12 8
  - [deleted] 7
    - minimal. - znufrii Apr 18, 08:14 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        well, I already do more than that a week when I come up the city. - znufrii Apr 18, 08:20 4
        
        You should get a fitbit -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:34 3
        
        I have no idea what this is. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 08:35 2
        
        Fitness tracker that incorporates a game aspect -- (link) - oblique Apr 18, 08:38 1
        
        interesting. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 08:40
Kilbo, on halo - Truman Apr 18, 08:08 25
- Definitely a skill I don't have. I've been working for a while on the close combat with AL and that's working much better - oblique Apr 18, 08:09 24
  - Something to keep in mind... - David Apr 18, 08:18 20
    - This. And learning a situational awareness - Truman Apr 18, 08:24
    - What? You mean I shouldn't just run at the enemy kamikaze style? :) - oblique Apr 18, 08:19 18
      - That is my style -- nm - J Apr 18, 08:28 17
        
        and you wear it well. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:29 16
        
        I think so -- nm - J Apr 18, 08:31 15
        
        I miss your willingness to drive the warthog. - groiny Apr 18, 08:32 14
        
        Question, should I start doing that again - Truman Apr 18, 08:36 10
        
        If you are in any manner not shooting a modest weapon, you're short-changing the team. - Will Hunting Apr 18, 08:45 1
        
        See this is where I disagree somewhat - Truman Apr 18, 09:05
        
        I think your skillset is better suited to open field combat with other weapons. - groiny Apr 18, 08:41 7
        
        The gauss hog and human tank are the only two vehicles I should ever use - Truman Apr 18, 08:44 3
        
        Anyone can shoot those.....that's why you shouldn't. - Will Hunting Apr 18, 08:46 1
        
        True. And yet I can use those to get way more kills than a weaker player - Truman Apr 18, 08:49
        
        My new favorite thing on Boneyard is AL Ghosts. Kaboom -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:45
        
        ....as long as I get a chance to gun a bit as well at some point. - groiny Apr 18, 08:43 2
        
        Since I thought of it, question about the Spartan Laser. What's the trick to using it? It seems whenever I pick it up and shoot it doesn't do - oblique Apr 18, 08:44 1
        
        it needs to charge up. - groiny Apr 18, 08:46
        
        That was my favorite thing...as long as the gunner was capable -- nm - J Apr 18, 08:35
        
        ...off a cliff -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 08:33 1
        
        that has always been crash's contribution. - groiny Apr 18, 08:34
  - I think it's easier to learn in steps - Truman Apr 18, 08:13 2
    - Strafing is what I've been trying now. Very useful for maps like Pinnacle, Uncaged (in the courtyard), etc - oblique Apr 18, 08:18 1
      - In maps with corridors - Truman Apr 18, 08:20
Troy Tulowitzki has as many errors through 11 games this year (6) as he did all of last season -- nm - prayformojo Apr 18, 08:04 10
- that gives me an idea for a fantasy league next year... - znufrii Apr 18, 08:06 9
  - That sounds thrilling. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:06 8
    - [deleted] 7
      - I'm interested. -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 08:13
      - You'd have to have minimum innings, games, at bats though. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 08:09 5
        
        [deleted]
        
        it would be tough to get players who are good enough to start, but bad enough to put up bad numbers. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:11 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted]
        
        hence the challenge. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 08:11
~A-list posters have problems too. We're just like you except we're a-list~ -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 18, 07:48 1
- Let's be clear. I'm a-list like those chicks are hot -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 18, 07:54

Jessica Dorrell has resigned from Arkansas. Gets a $14k payout to "settle" -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 07:37
[deleted] 13
- Yeah, I lasted about 10 seconds. I liked the pre-roll ad, though. -- nm - Mop (195 lbs) Apr 18, 08:43
- I agree with the YouTube thumbs. -- nm - David Apr 18, 08:02 1
  - "1098 people died of disgust and fell on the like button" -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 08:13
- Everything the board erupts like it did yesterday I'm posting this... - Mel Profit Apr 18, 07:49
- *favorites this * nm -- nm - cappie Apr 18, 07:46
- So the new hierarchy is Starving African Orphan Problems > White People Problems > Hot Girl Problems -- nm - Roger More Apr 18, 07:45
- *glad to not watch Youtube at work* -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 07:41
- You get the Bannhammer! -- nm - Bacon Apr 18, 07:40
- Is that Rebecca Black? -- nm - flavorize Apr 18, 07:39 2
  - she is madonna compared to these two. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 07:40 1
    - Totally. The one on the left sorta looks like one of the younger Jenner kids -- nm - flavorize Apr 18, 07:51
- i hate you -- nm - oblique Apr 18, 07:38
- that is fuc king horrible. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 07:38
Can you spot the rather serious logic error in the email from Tom Martin (Janesville, Wis) to Peter King? - prayformojo Apr 18, 07:28 10
- "They bought their tickets. They knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash!" -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 07:50
- "every player knew the risks" seems to be the crux. The lawsuit says not enough was done to inform players about the dangers of concussions. -- nm - mara Apr 18, 07:41 3
  - if the NFL players end up winning, I wonder if Vince and the WWE could face a lawsuit down the road... - Beaker Apr 18, 07:42 2
    - good luck going up against Irwin R. Shyster in court -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 07:44 1
      - only if it was a tax court -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 07:44
- Football players are stupid enough to begin with that they're not qualified to make informed decisions? -- nm - Ender Apr 18, 07:38
- they didn't assume that multiple shots to the head might cause future injuries? -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 07:34
- cause it is slavery! -- nm - Adrian Peterson Apr 18, 07:32
- Most of these guys went to school for the field of football? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 07:31

Suck it Pixie: US Navy's most advanced submarine in history to be named...USS Indianapolis -- nm - Remlik Apr 18, 07:28 25
- er....damnit! USS Indiana! -- nm - Remlik Apr 18, 07:29 9
  - This is perfect. -- nm - David Apr 18, 08:03 2
    - what a gift to the world I am! -- nm - Remlik Apr 18, 08:17 1
      - like a big bald cabbage patch doll. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:30
  - Damn Indiana public education. -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 07:58
  - Judging by this thread, instantly this submarine is the most advanced thing relating to Indiana. - Will Hunting Apr 18, 07:32 1
    - and it can never, ever go there. -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 07:59
  - the one with all the screen doors -- nm - pixitude Apr 18, 07:32
  - *disappointed* -- nm - Sharks of the world Apr 18, 07:31
  - dumbass. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 07:30
- *perks up* -- nm - Sharks of the world Apr 18, 07:29
- I am not sure I would name it after a vessel that sunk. - groiny Apr 18, 07:29 13
  - What are the odds of that happening again? I mean outside the idea it's a sub so it's supposed to sink. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 07:33 11
    - The Indianapolis was sunk by a sub. So, it's like Karma if they sink a destroyer - Bacon Apr 18, 07:34
    - [deleted] 9
      - or a dirigible named the Hindenburg -- nm - Beaker Apr 18, 07:36 8
        
        I can't quite tell if this thread has crossed from funny to serious, but there's already been a Navy submarine named the Indianapolis. -- nm - Roger More Apr 18, 07:59 7
        
        At 12:14 a.m. on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Philippine Sea and sank in 12 minutes. -- (link) - loosilu Apr 18, 08:03 5
        
        Which in Indiana is pi divided by 3. -- nm - Was Bar Was Apr 18, 08:09
        
        I've seen Jaws. -- nm - Roger More Apr 18, 08:07 1
        
        I'm rewatching the monologue now. it's been a long time. chilling. -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 08:26
        
        "The third USS Indianapolis (SSN-697), a Los Angeles-class submarine, was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Indianapolis." -- nm - mara Apr 18, 08:04 1
        
        (Sheesh, what an awful sentence.) -- nm - mara Apr 18, 08:06
        
        there you go, bringing facts and shit into our sarcasm. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 18, 08:01

I FOLD! -- nm - Bacon Apr 18, 07:25 4
- You were ALL IN! - Epiphany Apr 18, 07:28 3
  - Is that bad? -- nm - Bacon Apr 18, 07:28 2
    - you need a " Poker for Dummies" book - Epiphany Apr 18, 07:40 1
      - Because that, "Fantasy Football for Dummies" book was so helpful to me last year? -- nm - Bacon Apr 18, 07:42
