Backboard poll response. I cannot stand being hot. HATE it! I will take cold any freaking day over too hot. - bacon Apr 24, 13:30 7
- I'm sick of cold and would take heat. If people reason for cold by saying you can always add clothes, I say you can always turn on AC -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:37 3
  - Yeah, well, I never had to wait for the repairman to come out and fix my sweater. -- nm - Ser Vermyn Apr 24, 13:39 2
    - possibly a few days out of the year? that's not convincing -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:41 1
      - I love it when the hottest days of the year cause brown outs on the days you really need the A/C. -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:42
- I agree completely. However, if the choice was Alaska or Aruba. Im choosing Aruba. -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 13:34 1
  - A month ago I would've gone with you. :) - Ser Vermyn Apr 24, 13:35
- for once today you are talking sense. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:32
from the backboards ... Beth Phoenix ... if it's a storyline and not a legit injury, then I think that she did a pretty good job of selling it -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 24, 13:28 2
- I don't buy that for a second. In slow motion, you could see her scream as she landed. - David Apr 24, 13:33
- yeah she did. -- nm - Remlik Apr 24, 13:29
Sweet. Ray Stevenson will have a major role in the upcoming season of Dexter. -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 13:21 2
- "Sweet" Ray Stevenson sounds like an upstart challenger to Joe Frazier -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 13:23 1
  - or a BBQ sauce maker. -- nm - colin Apr 24, 13:23
I love the "You cannot be moral without being religious." question. I will gladly wrestle anyone who agrees with this statement. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 24, 13:20 14

- You are wrong. I will kill you. - Iron Spawn Apr 24, 13:24
- " it's important for religion to be taught in my child's school" - Epiphany Apr 24, 13:24 11
  - Sure, I'd love for them to learn the damage it's done to society. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 24, 13:25 1
    - That's because you're doing it wrong! -- nm - God si Apr 24, 13:30
  - You realize the entire year would be filled with them teaching the kids all the various religions, right? -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 24, 13:25 8
    - I think that would be awesome. I'd like to study that myself. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 24, 13:28 7
      - I took Comparative Religion as an elective. Learned a lot. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 24, 13:43
      - Elective? Sure. Mandatory? No way. - Iron Spawn Apr 24, 13:41
      - I think there's a fair amount of comparative religion in my son's 6th grade curriculum at the public middle school - oblique Apr 24, 13:30 4
        
        What would disappoint you more: if he became an atheist or a hardcore Scientologist? nm - Dignan Apr 24, 13:34 3
        
        you didn't ask me but - I vote: Scientologist - Epiphany Apr 24, 13:39
        
        of course. But I liken that to how God must feel about me. I disappoint him constantly with my actions - oblique Apr 24, 13:38 1
        
        I have a semi-serious question. - Dignan Apr 24, 13:42

Roger More from B2: Aeron Greyjoy is a priest of the Drowned God, but he seems to be the *only* priest of the Drowned God. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:17 4
- There are more - the Drowned Men. Aeron is the Damphair, the high priest. -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 13:18 3
  - Except he recruited them. I guess I view what Aeron has done as akin to L. Ron Hubbard creating Scientology. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:30 1
    - I can't find anything that confirms either view. -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 13:42
  - correct. -- nm - decline Apr 24, 13:19

      - *laughing* - Mel Profit Apr 24, 13:34 3
        
        I bet that's one cow that won't take any bull -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:35 2
        
        We were just waiting for another reason to have a stampede of horrible ST jokes. -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:36 1
        
        won't someone steer the conversation another way? -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:37
- Joy. This is my daughter's irrational fear. We finally got her to start eating beef about six months ago. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:14 11
  - it's a dairy cow. no worries. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:30 10
    - this one is but where did it get the disease? people will conclude that it means other cows in the US have it. -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:34 3
      - well, there will be an investigation, but cows get it through their feed. depends where the feed came from. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:37 2
        
        sure, but unless that cow protected its feed like WillHunting does, others will have eaten it too, at least on that farm -- nm - zork Apr 24, 13:39 1
        
        which is why the herd is quarantined. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:39
    - Dairy cows that are older get sold off to make beef. -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:32 4
      - The USDA gets a lot of things wrong, but the safeguards that prevent the spread of mad cow are actually pretty good. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:36 2
        
        How do I know you aren't infected with Mad Cow which is making you post information to lull us into a false sense of security to spread your kind? -- nm - bacon Apr 24, 13:37 1
        
        to spread it, I'd have to kill myself and make you eat my brain. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:38
      - true, but by that point the diseease would manifest. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:33
    - Logic is not applicable when discussing irrational fears. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:31
- Oh God, I always recall that West Wing episode whenever mad cow comes up. -- nm - Tim on iPhone Apr 24, 13:12

    - how much do the codes run on ebay, and are there worries they wouldnt be legit? - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 24, 13:17 2

Krusty. It is like, "We can not figure out how to make the ice cubes small enough to go in the glasses so lets make the entire room super cold!" - Iron Spawn Apr 24, 13:03 3
- Heh. :-) I prefer someplace that's the opposite. - Krusty Apr 24, 13:09

    - Hmm, okay. I'll try that too. Thanks. -- nm - kelly Apr 24, 13:26 2
      - Ibu is good for inflammation as well. I'm sorry. Tendons do not heal as fast as muscle or bone... -- nm - con_carne Apr 24, 13:30 1
        
        I'm kinda kicking myself now for not looking into this sooner - I thought it was part of carpal tunnel, kept wearing my wrist braces, which of course - kelly Apr 24, 13:36
