  - A bat boy. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 11:48 5
    - They'll pick Broxton as a reliever. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 11:49 4
      - Sorry, they already picked Butler as a reserve. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 12:09
      - No, they took Butler. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 1, 12:09 1
        
        Probably 97 or 98. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 12:11
      - Question is how long he remains a Royal. -- nm - budice Jul 1, 11:52
Euro 2012: Closing ceremonies going on ... pretty cool -- nm - budice Jul 1, 11:31 1
- Are the same national teams playing at the Olympics? Oop... not so fast, Italy. -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 11:43
Hmmm. Euro 2012 or Force 10 from Navarone. -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 1, 11:29
I'm home. Here are a couples pics from last night. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:10 8
- Another -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:11 7
  - Ha! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 1, 13:01
  - One more -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:12 5
    - Good Dog! -- nm - JenBro Jul 1, 11:19
    - And a shot of the Inn -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:15 3
      - looks really pretty :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 1, 11:19 2
        
        This morning there were bands of mist out over the valley. And lots of fireflies at night. - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:25 1
        
        sounds like a great trip you had ... I've got the next 12 days off - am in working today to get stuff finished up -- nm - JenBro Jul 1, 11:37

Let me ask you this: If you call 911 for an ambulance because you're dying or something, do you or insurance or whatever have to pay for that? - Mop Jul 1, 10:39 15
- My insurance pays if it's a legitimate emergency. Otherwise, they don't. - Kim Pine Jul 1, 12:44
- In Ontario, if its a medical emergency, its covered by healthcare. If its like a minor injury, you have to pay. I believe its about $150. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 1, 12:44
- You have to pay--lots. - Trish Jul 1, 12:40
- Remember this? -- (link) - Dano Jul 1, 11:44 1
  - Yep. It's the libertarian way! -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 11:45
- When I got hit crossing the street the FD's EMT took me to the hospital. My insurance co-pay was $100 (which the driver's insurance paid). -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 1, 11:33
- Here the FD sends out the EMTs as part of the emergency service. They call in the ambulance if necessary and you get billed for that. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 1, 11:30
- I believe the ambulance is never free. The police can charge you if it is a false alarm. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 1, 11:28
- Your insurance will pay for the ambulance if they deem it an emergency that required one. Otherwise you have to pay for it. It's not a free service - Krusty Jul 1, 10:45 6
  - But if your fire department runs the ambulance service..? -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 10:46 5
    - That's how it is here. Some of the ambulance service is run out of the FDNY but it's still not free like fire service. - Krusty Jul 1, 10:57 4
      - Scam! Insurance scam! How is that any different than saying "You could have stopped that burglar yourself" or "You could have put out that fire"? -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 11:07 3
        
        Those aren't the same as saying you sprained your ankle or you had a headache and didn't need an ambulance. - Krusty Jul 1, 11:12 2
        
        Who's to say that's not a broken ankle or a concussion? An EMT, that's who. In neither of those conditions should you be driving yourself. - Mop Jul 1, 11:16 1
        
        Hey, I just wanted to answer your first question not debate the policy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 11:22

Boy, "Drive" is a strange movie. Very stylized. Spoilers? - Mop Jul 1, 10:36 11
- Spoiler - Old Antarctic Explorer Jul 1, 11:19 10
  - Yeah, you're right. I don't think you "got" it either. - Trish Jul 1, 11:32 9
    - I don't see any descent...(spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 1, 11:40 8

        I am 100% in agreement with SM on this. (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:03
      - Could this be a 'reach'? -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Jul 1, 11:43 3
        
        I don't follow you (spoils) - Will Hunting Jul 1, 11:47 2
        
        I honestly don't see it that way at all. - Trish Jul 1, 12:52
        
        Small correction - Will Hunting Jul 1, 12:23
The WSOP $1mil One Drop tourney starts today. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 10:24 4
- Exciting stuff -- nm - Epiphany Jul 1, 12:24
- 1st is $18.3M -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 11:29
- many of the players have sold shares so they did not put the whole $1m in themselves -- nm - peglegpete Jul 1, 11:22
- that bubble is going to hurt! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 11:19
As previously mentioned: Brave earned the first A+ for 2012. Full review is up. -- (link) - Qale Jul 1, 10:09 7
- You are the first person I know that was not disappointed by it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 10:25 6
  - No he's not. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 1, 11:01 1
    - Actually, he was. You are third. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 11:19
  - I address that briefly. But to expand, it's much like Up in that it doesn't exactly go where I thought it would. And I went with it, and enjoyed that. -- nm - Qale Jul 1, 10:32 1
    - Yeah, I will be sure to read after I see it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 10:33
  - my disappointment was negligible. A -- nm - mud Jul 1, 10:29 1
    - Hmm. We would be seeing it right now, but due to these stupid coughs it is on hold until July 4th, now. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 10:30

Refresh my memory: This was the weekend we were supposed to get G. I. Joe 2 before it moved, right? -- nm - Dano Jul 1, 09:30 2
- ::beats chest:: -- nm - Ted Jul 1, 10:29
- Yes. Thursday was GI Joe night at the ballpark. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 09:39
I've been good at going to the gym lately but I wonder about a gym that has more variety. But $10/month for a gym I can walk to is such a good deal. - Dano Jul 1, 09:27 1
- $10 is a great deal. Plenty o classes available at other places...community centers, parks, schools, etc. -- nm - budice Jul 1, 09:34
And with a rattle and a bang, my hammer drill bites the dust. And another house project is in disarray. - Truman Jul 1, 09:20

San Francisco 49ers Smith was stabbed at a house party early Saturday morning? Now we know what Redmond was up to. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:37 4
- If he's still able to play football, it wasn't me. - Bacon Jul 1, 10:15 1
  - I figured you were drunk. - Spawn Jul 1, 10:31
- Redmond's certainly been a little off lately -- nm - cheap steak Jul 1, 08:48 1
  - he's also inactive on ika.com (and disappeared from dot.org) -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 1, 12:14
I bought the fixin's for both slow-cooked BBQ chicken and pulled pork...which one to do first? - MojaveMeg Jul 1, 08:26 7
- So many jokes but it's Canada Day. So in honor of, if you had some Canadian visiting which would you cook for them. And save the other for the 4th. :) -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 1, 08:58 3
  - In that case I should make another batch of Kare's Vegetarian Beans with maple syrup. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 1, 09:06 2
    - The ones with the sriracha sauce? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 09:23
    - I guess I wasn't much help. But on the bright-side I'm pretty sure I could stuff down one more waffle. :) -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 1, 09:11
- Save the BBQ for the 4th. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:47
- Do the pork. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:43
- Pulled Pork. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 08:32

- This is just a must to have these days. -- nm - cheap steak Jul 1, 08:23
Orlando's smart to dump Dwight Howard...if trade talks are true... - cheap steak Jul 1, 08:19 2
- That guy at Yahoo has led me to believe that Joe Johnson and his contract are being dealt today. I will be heartbroken if he's wrong. -- nm - David Jul 1, 09:51
- Especially after doing what he asked and dumping their coach! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:24
Canada Day ... Today? Yay! Then surely I must go up to Canada today :). Quick stop at the office to finish 2 things & I'm off - to the Soo! -- nm - JenBro Jul 1, 08:16 3
- Canada Day ... Today? Yay! Then surely I must wear a hat today :). -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:17 2
  - good idea. we're sending the whole air force down, both pigeons, to plop on your head -- nm - zork Jul 1, 08:20 1
    - Hope we don't lose them. Those pigeons cost $160 million each not including the cost of food and housing. -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 1, 09:05
I will admit, kare's recipes all look so yummy. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:11 1

shoulda bet me zork... - Mel Profit Jul 1, 08:09 5
- and most overestimated Mike, but it's not surprising considering how much advertising they've done for Mike for the last couple of months.These number - zork Jul 1, 08:18 4
  - I can't see how Magic Mike was a disappointment. At least financially. -- nm - Qale Jul 1, 10:17
  - Disappointment? What? The studio was forecasting low $20 for the weekend. - David Jul 1, 09:51
  - No, I over estimated Ted. The fact that it beat MM doesn't diminish what MM did. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 1, 09:13
  - So, 5 mil for the movie. Any idea what the ad push cost? -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:38
I know it's tradition and all but the no play on the middle Sunday of Wimbledon is annoying. -- nm - Dano Jul 1, 08:07 1
- You'll just have to watch some football, mate. -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 10:40
Rickey will be leading off today at Yankee Stadium. Cone is on the mound and Bernie is batting cleanup. - Krusty Jul 1, 08:05 4
- Um, the Braves do it. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 08:09 3

      - Ha! That's awesome. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 10:26
Italian roll! -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 08:03 5

  - It's like no one here has watched any of the games this tournament. - Krusty Jul 1, 08:30
- You're cooking that Sunday Itslian feast again aren't you? Nummy nummy! -- nm - JenBro Jul 1, 08:12 2
  - Not in this heat, no. I would love to cook a big meal to enjoy while watching Italy vs. Spain but it's just too damn hot to cook today. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 08:32 1
    - You couldn't have given me a better "Can't stand the heat/get out of the kitchen" analogy for today's game if I'd beg you. -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 11:12
