Breaking Bad Question (Spoiler - I have only seen Season 1) - amoxy Jun 24, 14:06 2
- It's not spelled out as such but the general idea is there. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 14:14
- IIRC - spoilers - Beaker Jun 24, 14:11
Officially unofficial: White Sox it is. -- nm - nubby Jun 24, 13:58 4

  - I need details, dammit! -- nm - spamlet Jun 24, 14:16
- I would imagine 10 minutes after the ChiSox game it goes official. -- nm - spamlet Jun 24, 14:01 1
  - dammit! They're going to extas because we couldn't plate someone on 3rd with one out in the 9th. - spamlet Jun 24, 14:02
I'm catching up on the office (s7). What's gabe's job? Is he higher or lower than Michael? I don't get his function. splr - amanda Jun 24, 13:58 6

- He's - Reagen Jun 24, 14:01 4
  - I thought he was - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:10 2
    - I just looked it up. He's not HR, he's - Reagen Jun 24, 14:14 1
      - heh. - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:15
  - Thank you very much. -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 14:03
Summer has finally begun to grace us with its presence. It's a whopping 63F and sunny right now. - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:54 3
- BRRR -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:10
- We'll taks some of that wetter. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jun 24, 14:09
- 101 and humid. Supposed to be 105 on Thursday. - spamlet Jun 24, 13:56
Paul Byrd! Yay! -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:46
[hack mode on] This game show host has been hospitalized with a heart attack -- (link) - Reagen Jun 24, 13:45
More fun with ancestry.com. - CovingtonCat Jun 24, 13:41 6
- how many cousins do you have to kill to become the next King of Bavaria? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:59 1

  - Thanks, I save the link for later. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jun 24, 13:57
- very cool -- nm - marcel Jun 24, 13:48
This game is sorely lacking in the Arriaga department - prayformojo Jun 24, 13:27
MLS mentions in the middle of Euro 2012 seems so junior league-ish -- nm - budice Jun 24, 13:22
"And now, for no reason, a shot of a hot Italian spectator." -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 13:13 1

  - Reports are there was beer and fried chicken in the dugout. -- nm - nubby Jun 24, 13:41
  - he was hugging people in the dugout. -- nm - Mel Jun 24, 13:38
  - You're there. Didn't that look like a swan song to you? -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:34 11
    - Oh, it absolutely did. - kelly Jun 24, 13:39 10
      - Nothing on the sites yet, but that's probably just crossing the T's....he's likely headed to the White Sox -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:45 8
        
        It's strange that he played today if he is being traded in the next 24 hours. - David Jun 24, 13:47 7
        
        Given his recent history, he doesn't need to play to get hurt. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:50 6
        
        He's a short term rental for the White Sox and we have a black hole at 3B. - spamlet Jun 24, 13:52
        
        I'll take him if Boston doesn't want him. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:51 4
        
        He's a 33yr old guy with a .700 OPS and injury concerns. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 13:59 2
        
        My suspicion is that he needs a change of scenery. He has wear on the tires, but he's a badass. He'll find a way. -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:00 1
        
        And to my mind, this signifies the end of the Moneyball era. -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:01
        
        David's Sandlot Adventures, coming soon to UStream. Play-by-play by Will Hunting and Groiny. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:53
      - The White Sox are still playing (0-0 in the 9th) so they may hold off until that game is over. - spamlet Jun 24, 13:45
We are considering getting a (pre-owned) Ford Escape ... should we just ignore the 2WD models? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:57 10
- I mean, it sounds like the 2WD model is a front-wheel-drive, which is the only kind we've ever owned ... but I suspect it would be underpowered for - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:00 9
  - this is what you need...(and as rediculous as it seems, I think it would really work for you) - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:14 1
    - It would take more than $160 in fuel to cross ... and it would run out halfway. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:39
  - It's not underpowered for our purposes but if you have a lot of dirt roads, 4WD makes more sense. -- nm - David Jun 24, 13:12 6
    - What year is/was yours? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:59
    - no, no dirt roads. Snow, sometimes. Ice, sometimes. A few mountains. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:14 4
      - for your area, you'd probably need studded tires for winter/spring driving cause you never know when you'll find black ice, this is the chains I have- -- (link) - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:18 3
        
        You do know that Victoria is south of Bellingham, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 13:33 2
        
        sorta, but if you are driving up a hill in Jan/Feb then black ice is a big issue in the hills/lakeside/puget sound areas, especially over creek bridge - zeitgeist Jun 24, 13:56 1
        
        I am definitely thinking of getting extra winter tires and putting them on myself, but studded is overkill I think -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:03
Kid just asked his dad if he could see Ted. lol -- nm - budice Jun 24, 12:43 1

Lions came to play -- nm - budice Jun 24, 11:59
UEFA: England or Italy? -- nm - budice Jun 24, 11:43 5
- You can put "chicken" in front of any Italian player's name and he sounds like a meal. Chicken Buffon, Chicken Balzaretti, Chicken de Rossi (twitter) -- nm - marcel Jun 24, 12:40

- I'm still waiting for a Triple Pegleg. -- nm - Under the Influence Jun 24, 11:47
I think this local news item hits pretty much every cliche on Mexican weddings. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jun 24, 11:13 4
- yep, especially the comments and photo of the bride with a kid in a stroller and what looks like another baby on the way. -- nm - CrankYanker50 Jun 24, 11:24 1
  - Mexican weddings need 12 bridesmaids, 4 flower girls and the bride wears a southern belle hoop dress that makes her 10 feet circumference -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 11:27
- looks like a shotgun wedding -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 11:21
- gang banger wedding, at least the bride and groom didn't shoot each other - zeitgeist Jun 24, 11:18
LYC: I have just purchased wedding band #4. Let's see how long this one lasts, heh -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 11:04 5
- I have a few extra if you need one. -- nm - Roger Sterling si Jun 24, 11:39
- ? -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 11:07 2
  - I always lose them. I forget to take it off when I'm working or surfing or something and I lose it -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 11:19 1
    - Ah. Maybe try a smaller size? - Spawn Jun 24, 12:16
- I think Cappy has bought a few more than you :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 24, 11:05

Do we have any early walking babies in the ST mix? Fin Fin is almost there. Dude is a little over 8 months. - CQ Jun 24, 10:09 2
- You just know she's gonna sit back and tell him what to do for the rest of his life ;) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 24, 10:18 1
  - she's smart -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 10:29
Well, I for one am glad they changed Max back on Wizards of Waverley Place. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 09:57
Wanna double stuff that Oreo? - David Jun 24, 09:39 4
- I'm guessing it's not Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Gunter -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 10:03 3
  - Could be - didn't Abe invent the Oreo as a symbol of racial togetherness after freeing the slaves? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 10:36 2
    - Watch them add another 10 minute scene to the movie. - David Jun 24, 10:58
    - Sounds historically accurate enough for me! -- nm - Producer si Jun 24, 10:52

  - Leather pants, too -- nm - miffed67 Jun 24, 15:54
  - Five by five. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 11:11

  - I guess to me she's from Bring It On. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 09:07 7
    - Yeah, Buffy is *why* she was in that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 11:02

      - The girl from Dollhouse? -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:11 3

        *flashback of bikini modeling scene* -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 12:49
        
        I think you'd all get more traction with the public by talking about her acclaimed work in Wrong Turn. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 09:13
    - ah, yes `(mmm, cheerleaders) -- nm - mud Jun 24, 09:09

- You're weird. -- nm - David Jun 24, 08:56 5
  - It's a hybrid! :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 08:59 4
    - Weirdo. -- nm - David Jun 24, 09:01 3
      - You just don't like it because it's not silver. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 09:02 2
        
        We don't have a silver car, weirdboy. -- nm - David Jun 24, 09:38 1

    - Oh, you always seem to have already done the ones I do. -- nm - nubby Jun 24, 09:45 1
      - It kind of sucks. If you do them ahead of your friends, you play with unknowns, but you get a higher booty score later on. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 09:49
- There was a free credits offer, you had to go through the "buying" process to get them - J Jun 24, 08:47 5

        Ya I just checked, I did link my paypal account -- nm - J Jun 24, 09:27

  - Forza Anglaterra -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 24, 11:34

        True enough, I really only watched one of their games so far -- nm - J Jun 24, 09:27
