- Turkish Delight is a real thing? I though it was a euphemism or something. (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:59 1
  - it's real, I've had it a number of times. -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 10:09
@ariFleischer - I miss Justice Harriet Miers - amoxy Jun 28, 09:58
"Time to lock and load my friends. Time to hunt Demoncrats!!!" - Inigo Jun 28, 09:55 26
- Sorry. To be clear. The above was someone responding to a friend's post. -- nm - Inigo Jun 28, 10:00
- Really? Giving people medical insurance is really *that* bad? - musubi Jun 28, 09:57 2
  - well, to be fair, it's not giving them it (yet). It's encouraging them to buy it for themselves, otherwise face a tax. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 28, 09:59 1
    - Aren't there subsidies for many people to use to buy the insurance? That money comes from somewhere. - Fuzzy Jun 28, 10:11
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are demoncrats even in season? Does your friend have a proper hunting license with Demoncrat tags? - Beryllium Jun 28, 09:57 3

    - they'll see our gas prices and booze prices and run right back. -- nm - Andie Jun 28, 09:57 10

        Just wait until they find hulu doesn't work either. -- nm - Roger More Jun 28, 10:00 1
        
        I'm guessing working a computer to find hulu might be one of those higher functions a wee bit out of reach for those volunteering to emigrate north. - musubi Jun 28, 10:02
- *unfriends* -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 09:55 3
  - It wasn't the friend who I was quoting. - Inigo Jun 28, 09:58 1

So according to the older gentleman at the local mini mart, this ruling means that ALL small businesses will be out of business within 2 years. -- nm - Jovian Jun 28, 09:51 7
- That just creates an opportunity for new small businesses! -- nm - Max Jun 28, 10:14
- the poor younger kid (blue collar) he was venting to looked so worried. It was so sad - Jovian Jun 28, 10:00
- uh, sure. -- nm - decline Jun 28, 09:57
- not sure why, it actually means they could cut health care benefits and let the employees get them from the exchanges, if those ever get setup. -- nm - Truman Jun 28, 09:54 1
  - only if they have less than 50 employees. -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 09:54
- right. - znufrii Jun 28, 09:53
- Well, he should thank Bush for getting the ball rolling on that -- nm - Beryllium Jun 28, 09:53

- Anyone willing to buy and dress up an 8' giraffe, deserves his protest. - musubi Jun 28, 09:52 2
  - ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 28, 10:05
  - I can get on board with that idea. -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 09:52
- But only a male giraffe, right? Otherwise, you're not gay, you're just beastiality'ists, right? - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:51 4
  - Giraffes R U, Giraffe Depot, Best Giraffe, anywhere in the downtown Giraffe District really. -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 09:52 1
    - *golf clap* (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:53
  - It's about *love*, bigot. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 28, 09:52 1
    - But is it that right kind of love, or not? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:53
$104.4 million over 12 years for Sidney Crosby -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 09:49 13
- So 8.7 million / yr. Not surprising for one of the most visible players in the league. -- nm - bc/nc Jun 28, 09:53
- Isn't he a strong breeze from another concussion? -- nm - amoxy Jun 28, 09:50
- I thought the NHL was trying to stop the nonsensical contracts? (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:50 10
  - best player in the League IF he can stay healthy...and lately that has been a big if. -- nm - Beaker Jun 28, 09:50 9
    - If he hits his head again, he'll be done -- nm - decline Jun 28, 09:55
    - 12 years is the nonsensical part, it seems to me. (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:52
    - Yeah, which is why you don't put together a 9figure contract for him. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:52 6
      - MLB contracts are guaranteed. NHL ones are not completely guaranteed. That's the big difference. - spamlet Jun 28, 09:53 2
        
        I was sort of wrong. The contract is guaranteed but can be bought out at 1/3 or 2/3 of the price of the remaining years depending on age. -- nm - spamlet Jun 28, 10:02 1
        
        So, at a minimum, he gets $34 million no matter what happens to him. That's...bold. -- nm - David Jun 28, 10:10
      - I have to believe there are protections built into the contract. - David Jun 28, 09:53 2
        
        I'm just trying to imagine going to the insurance company for that one. - Will Hunting Jun 28, 09:54 1
        
        No insurance company would insure the contract, I'm assumign David means injury-related opt-outs. - musubi Jun 28, 09:55
i wish me phone had a kickstand. today -- nm - Truman Jun 28, 09:48
Arriaga II ! (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:48
I got a rock ... -- nm - Charlie Brown in a holey bedsheet Jun 28, 09:48 1
- oops, that was for the post below -- nm - Charlie Brown in a holey bedsheet Jun 28, 09:48
LYC: For Amy's birthday, amongst other things, I got her second row tickets (maybe first) for Chris Isaak with pre-party and meet and greet. - Spawn Jun 28, 09:46 8
- "No, no! I said on the mouth!" -- nm - Don Homer Jun 28, 09:50
- "Less tongue! Less tongue!" (nm) - musubi Jun 28, 09:49
- do you like Chris Isaak? - groiny Jun 28, 09:48 4
  - He is like Elvis to me. This will be our fourth time seeing him. The first time, she touched his shoe during Forever Blue. - Spawn Jun 28, 09:53
  - Me too. He is one cool dude - amoxy Jun 28, 09:49 2
    - He really is. There are few I would have sprung for, but I will enjoy this nearly as much as her. - Spawn Jun 28, 09:54
    - well, I would like to kiss her with clothes on this time. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 09:50
- I got her Kellan Lutz - con_carne Jun 28, 09:47
