    - either? -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 13:22

  - no but he was running around without his swim shorts on for part of the trip - Epiphany ( Lawbreaker) Jun 28, 13:18

~I don't like being without my penis for too long, I hate having to sit down when I take a leak~ -- nm - con_carne Jun 28, 13:00 2
- You should get it permanently attached. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 28, 13:03 1
  - But then, he wouldn't have a detachable penis. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 28, 13:09

For what it's worth, I just did a cost estimator for an appendectomy (with a scope, so the less expensive kind), and here is what I got: - Kim Pine Jun 28, 12:53 25
- My first knee surgery cost about $18000. -- nm - Diva Jun 28, 13:19
- When I had my gall bladder out last year in Florida..... - ty97 Jun 28, 13:06
- That's just it...the doc can negotiate a little on their fee, I'm sure. But the hospital...good luck with that. -- nm - Jim Jun 28, 13:00
- How about a sigmoid colectomy? -- nm - David Jun 28, 13:00 3
  - That sounds like something Zoidberg would prescribe. -- nm - Roger More Jun 28, 13:06 1
    - "No, your OTHER mouth" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 28, 13:08
  - That ran about $60,000. - Kim Pine Jun 28, 13:01
- what the hell kind of hospital gives out quotes? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:00 3
  - Ahead of time...they can see what is planned and roll it against their fee schedule and give you an estimate... - Jim Jun 28, 13:01
  - Yeah, I was also surprised to read that. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 28, 13:00 1
    - I suppose they take coupons as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:01
- I have a vague recollection that appendectomy can skyrocket if it bursts. -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 12:58 5
  - Right. The quote I got was for an easy one. No complications. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 28, 13:00 1
    - yep, add sepsis then you have a longer hospital stay. -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 13:02
  - well, the bill, I mean. not the actual appendix. although that would be funny. -- nm - loosilu Jun 28, 12:59 2

Another baseball rule question: If a pop fly is batted foul but, while attempting to catch it, an infielder makes it drop in fair territory, it's fair - Guigue Jun 28, 12:52 17
- Are you saying that the fielder, while trying to catch the foul ball, bobbles it/drops it and the ball drops in fair territory? - Krusty Jun 28, 12:57 15
  - Yes, I guess it's not foul yet, but it would have landed in foul territory if the infielder hadn't touched it - Guigue Jun 28, 13:00 14
    - if the fielder is in foul terriroty and touches it, and it drops in fair territory - groiny Jun 28, 13:01 13
      - yea, it's where the ball would have landed untouched that makes it fair or foul if dropped -- nm - dogbert Jun 28, 13:10
      - It is. If the ball is in foul ground and the player touches it then it's a foul ball. - Krusty Jun 28, 13:08 2
        
        Okay, thanks guys. Time to argue with my team mates! :) -- nm - Guigue Jun 28, 13:10 1
        
        No problem. I love these. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 13:11
      - Yeah, nothing to do with where it lands. Foul ball definition includes "while on or over foul territory, touches the person of an umpire or player" -- nm - mara Jun 28, 13:04
      - that's my understanding as well - znufrii Jun 28, 13:02 7
        
        Sheet, I'm getting conflicting opinions... Time for some research - Guigue Jun 28, 13:04 6
        
        Offical baseball rules - znufrii Jun 28, 13:11 4
        
        I saw those, I just felt like "touches a player" was possibly not the same as "the player attempts a play" - Guigue Jun 28, 13:15 3
        
        does he touch it in the course of trying to make the play? -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 13:17 2
        
        Yes -- nm - Guigue Jun 28, 13:19 1
        
        then it should be clear by the definition that the fair-or-foulness depends on where the ball is when it is touched. -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 13:20
        
        It's just the definition of a foul ball -- (link) - mara Jun 28, 13:04
- how?why? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 12:53

- I do, Jack. That's who! -- nm - Jim Jun 28, 12:50
so Guy in Pic just now posted some tattoo photos on facebook. you want to see, right? -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 12:46 44

    - Screw my cherry? -- nm - amoxy Jun 28, 12:53 4
      - screw my x. duh! (right?!?) -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 13:00 3
        
        ...with 2 cherries? - decline Jun 28, 13:03 1
        
        the taking. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:04
        
        screw my x....... cherries! -- nm - dogbert Jun 28, 13:02
    - just as aside - I can state that the ST board in general loves tattoos and we got some seriously tatted up posters - Epiphany ( Lawbreaker) Jun 28, 12:53 26
      - I'd be painted if I could afford more. I'd love to have full sleeves. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 13:16 1
        
        yeah, I would have gotten my next one already if not for my situation. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:18
      - If I'd ever got one it would have been something like this. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jun 28, 13:08 4
        
        I mentioned on B2 what I've finally decided on... - znufrii Jun 28, 13:13
        
        A goose? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 28, 13:13 2
        
        A *wild* goose... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jun 28, 13:17
        
        she loves Top Gun. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:15
      - I'm considering my 4th. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 28, 12:57 10
        
        wha? - groiny Jun 28, 12:59 9
        
        You thought I had more? Or less? - JaxSean Jun 28, 13:01 8
        
        I wanted a wrist tattoo and SM said no -- nm - Epiphany ( Lawbreaker) Jun 28, 13:08
        
        It's becoming pretty common these days. -- nm - sycor Jun 28, 13:04 5
        
        I still believe in being able to easily hide them for business. - groiny Jun 28, 13:05 4
        
        I am seeing a *lot* of older people with them lately (ones that can not be hidden), and I am even more glad I never went that route. -- nm - Spawn Jun 28, 13:12
        
        oh I agree. Just saying that they are more common and becoming more accepted depending on the design of course -- nm - sycor Jun 28, 13:10
        
        This is why I keep discouraging Suzanne. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 28, 13:06 1
        
        have her call me, I will straighten her right out. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:08
        
        I think I knew you had one. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:02
      - I only have one. I want another, just can't decide what to get yet. -- nm - sycor Jun 28, 12:56
      - I am pondering #6 as we speak. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 12:54 6
        
        oh pondering, not pounding - dogbert Jun 28, 12:57 1
        
        I make much more sense if you adhere to this rule, so proceed. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 12:58
        
        tramp stamp? -- nm - Roger More Jun 28, 12:56 3
        
        that was #2 -- nm - znufrii Jun 28, 12:57
        
        uh, no. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 12:56 1
        
        butterfly on the ankle, right ? -- nm - decline Jun 28, 12:58
    - Wow...that's quality. -- nm - Jim Jun 28, 12:51 2
      - shit, I could moonlight as a tattoo artist -- nm - dogbert Jun 28, 12:54
      - he posts photos of his work all the time! and then is like, "if you want something like this, call me!" and apparently - amanda Jun 28, 12:52
    - I get that someone picked this. but as a tattoo artist, is it not your job to be like, honey are you sure?? -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 12:51 4
      - wait, that's not Guy in Pic. Plus, I'm not sure a tat artist would bother questioning someone who already has a boob tattoo. -- nm - Max Jun 28, 12:53 3
        
        oh, do you want a photo of *him*? -- nm - amanda Jun 28, 13:01 1
        
        hit it, max. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 28, 13:03

Oooh, the firm's giving me a new phone. Turning in my crappy motorola xpert for a Samsung Galaxy II Epic. -- nm - pmb Jun 28, 12:32 3
- Why wouldn't they spend the extra $50 and get the Galaxy 3S? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 28, 12:55 2
  - Physical keyboard. I might have been willing to go without, but many at the firm are former blackberry users and feel strongly about a physical - pmb Jun 28, 13:00 1
    - Going from the Moment (keyboard) to the S3 (virtual), I'm not loving it, but it's ok. - JaxSean Jun 28, 13:02

The crazy ex poll thing...it just dawned on me that I broke up with my most recent ex in 1990. -- nm - Jim Jun 28, 12:30 1
- I wonder if that would exceed Max's statute of limitations? -- nm - Roger More Jun 28, 12:35
