X-men First Class 2 starts shooting next Jan, Fantastic Four reboot has Josh Trank (Chronicle) still involved.... -- (link) - Remlik Apr 27, 10:27
Cleveland Browns trying to trade Colt McCoy this afternoon. - David Apr 27, 10:25 8
- If you draft him the first round though, it's expected that he will be the starter. At 28, how long can you wait/groom him? -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:28 5
  - Even at his age, rookie QBs need to earn gigs in order to garner the faith of the locker room. - David Apr 27, 10:30 2
    - True. But with Richardson, they can do a whole, "Batman & Robin" type of marketing. Even with McCoy, that team isn't winning more than 4-5 games -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:34 1
      - Or "Batman and Alfred". -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:37
  - Sure, he's gotta be fast-tracked, but he's being announced as the starter already. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:29 1
    - Even the Redskins will at least pretend that RG3 has to earn the job from Grossman -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:30
- It's the Browns.....it doesn't have to make sense. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:26 1
  - Cincy has developed a novel team building strategy. They keep picking up former first round picks, figuring that at least on some level they can play. -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:28
Since there's been a few posts on this board about photography, this guy was a co-worker. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:23 1
- Since there's been a few posts on this board about pornography, this guy was a co-worker. -- nm - what znufrii read Apr 27, 10:23
Did everyone take today off? - Stephen Apr 27, 10:22 6
- I'm going golfing for the first time this year in about ten minutes in a 20mph wind...I got the over/under at 110 -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:27 1
  - So still less than what I used to shoot on an idealic day? - Stephen Apr 27, 10:29
- Right? Are all the fantasy drafters exhausted today, maybe? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:27

    - that's sort of different? - b. Apr 27, 10:43
    - did you ever think about playing that card as a joke? -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:32 3
      - Showing up dressed as Al Jolson the first time I met them? -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:33
      - like wearing blackface? -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 10:33 1
        
        Yes, loosi, I meant blackface. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 10:33
    - Especially if it was one of those highly paid black qb's. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:31
  - I think maybe it's that even if your dad is a racist crazy person, the fact that he never said peep the whole relationship, and then BAM on e-mail? - TFox Apr 27, 10:24
  - I think this means "not surprised that he'd say something racist, but shocked that he'd say this about my boyfriend and our unborn children" -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:23
  - "I was starving. Though, not really hungry." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:19
- He said you could "do as you pleased". So, case closed. Ignore. - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:15 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - The dad's 'sentiment' doesn't really deserve a ton of attention (and therefore validation) either way. - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:26 1
      - The fight has already started. I agree with what b. said in her IM above - that all she needs to say is a direct quote from her haxchat letter. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:28
- [deleted]
- Clearly, the reason he took some time to make his feelings known was he got an advanced degree in genetics -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 10:14
- anyone said that to me they'd be out of my life. (it's actually pretty much why I don't talk to my grandmother) -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 10:13
- simple - znufrii Apr 27, 10:11
- "Sorry you feel that way dad. Thanks for this final life lesson. Bye." -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 10:10
- wow. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 10:09 15
  - sad part is, he's black :) -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 10:11 14
    - the dad - oblique Apr 27, 10:11 13
      - i don't think it's 100% clear which race each member of the couple is, actually. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 10:14 9
        
        not that it matters. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 10:16 7
        
        oh, it's way more defensible if the dad is black. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 10:17 6
        
        'Cism is 'cism. -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:26

        If only there was a way to check the IM while replying to a post! -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:31
        
        I think the dad is black and the fiancee is Russian -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 10:15
      - and has sex with pets on the bed! -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 10:14 2
        
        somethings sound so much better in your head -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 10:14 1
        
        You mean, your real-life sex with pets on the bed didn't match up with the fantasy? -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 10:25
What are the cons for buying a foreclosed property? - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:07 5
- There could be other foreclosed properties in the area, which would be bad for your property value -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 10:25
- the process takes a lot longer -- nm - ceregon Apr 27, 10:24
- bank-owned, so less room for negotiation, and might have a drawn-out settlement. Might be in poor condition if unoccupied for a while. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 10:16 1
  - Ahhh, interesting. Thanks! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 10:20
- I'd look for how long it was vacant...possible issues from long term non-residence -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 10:13

Random engagement related question. How much does it cost to insure the ring? and now that she has it should I insure it or should she? -- nm - volnelk Apr 27, 09:11 22
- Just got a call back. My insurance is through Farmer's. It is at the underwriter and they will tell me on monday what changes. -- nm - volnelk Apr 27, 09:47
- Pippy's right - schedule it - cost about $13. per thousand and you have coverage for things like missing stones, lost ring, theft - and no deductible -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 09:32 1
  - regarding State Farm - they typically don't add schedules or riders to their home policies, hence have a separate Inland Marine policy for jewelry - - JenBro Apr 27, 09:42
- Here's how it was explained to me - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 09:25 3
  - Uh... that is weird. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 09:26 2
    - We have State Farm. - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 09:29 1
      - (probably what mafic is referring to below) -- nm - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 09:31
- do you already have insurance (home or rental?) it will probably be covered if you have an appraisal for it. - Andie Apr 27, 09:13 11
  - I have homeowners insurance. So does it just add to my current policy? I don't pay more? -- nm - volnelk Apr 27, 09:16 10
    - it depends on the policy. call your ins. agent -- nm - decline Apr 27, 09:20
    - depends on your policy and how much it's worth. some have caps for items, or categories, or total claims, some require additional payments for high - mafic Apr 27, 09:18
    - i am NO expert, but i think you need to talk to the them about the value of the ring. -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 09:17 7
      - (my rings were covered by my existing policy, but they were crazy expensive rings) -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 09:18 6
        
        You are the 1%!!! -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 09:19 1
