- Have you seen how fast those things move??! -- nm - scared LA passenger Jul 26, 12:16
- that's interesting and all, but why wasn't the escalator working? -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 12:15 2
  - obvie: not enough fiber to lubricate the works -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 12:23

YDC but after pondering for a day, I'm not cool with the alderman/mayor blocking CFA in Chicago. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 12:14 6
- "Chick-Fil-A is being banned for having the same stance that President Obama did six months ago." -- nm - Twitter Jul 26, 12:19
- they can feel free to build somewhere they don't need a zoning variance (or whatever) for. - znufrii Jul 26, 12:17 1
  - Smoke and mirrors. They are not being blocked because of zoning concerns. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 12:17
- He's not blocking them. The mayor is saying that they are unwelcome, and he hopes they reconsider. That's not blocking them. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:14 2
  - oh, wait, chicago is not boston. I am unaware of the chicago situation. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:15 1

Wow, Kilbo, you took that trade from Spawn instead of my combo for a 2nd/3rd rounder overall? Also it's an illegal trade, Spawn can't get 3 picks - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:07 22
- Nelson isn't a great pick-up for me at WR in the keeper position - oblique Jul 26, 12:09 13
  - You took Jennings --- a guy who came up about 100pts short of Jordy's #'s last year on the same team. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:13 12
    - You really think Jordy is going to have that kind of year again? - oblique Jul 26, 12:14 4
      - I think Greg Jennings slightly more than Jordy Nelson overall but in a league that gives bonus points for big plays, they're largely even. -- nm - David Jul 26, 12:18
      - I'd put him at least on par with Jennings. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:17

- [deleted] 7
  - Ah. Did not know that rule. Will do. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:15 2
    - Until this is corrected, the trade is as unofficial as Dempster to the Braves if either party wants to reconsider. -- nm - David Jul 26, 12:17 1
      - It has been corrected. I think the IR poll needs to be correctly worded, too. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:29
  - Damnit Spawn. Ruiner -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 12:10 1
    - [deleted]
  - Yep, I'll let them post the exact details. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:09 1

I like Pickled asparagus (nm) - amoxy Jul 26, 12:07
Heat index 106. Dewpoint 76. Humidity 56%. I hate North Carolina sometimes. -- nm - sycor Jul 26, 12:05 3
- What bugs me are the sources that have simply stopped giving humidity, and just give dewpoint. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 12:08 1
  - It's the far more indicative number. I hate humidity only with no dewpoint info. -- nm - Max Jul 26, 12:22
- this was supposed to be under pfm's post below. -- nm - sycor Jul 26, 12:06
START THE DRAFT!!! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 11:56 10

  - I am wating for all my trades to be accepted. Two so far. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:00 3
    - you haven't offered me anything? You want Luck's #1 target? -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 12:01 2
      - You obviously have not checked your mail! -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 12:04 1

WLIR: perhaps FMK should become FBK with the B meaning Beard - zork Jul 26, 11:52
Max, be glad your coworker didn't go out to get Chick-fil-a truck today. There's about 50 protestors you have to walk by to get to it. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 11:52 5
- I was just out there getting water from CVS. Yesterday was packed in the park. Today it's so hot I think people have no energy to do anything. -- nm - Max Jul 26, 12:11
- Are there just free trucks of food from different restaurants parked in the streets of DC? -- nm - Inigo Jul 26, 12:01 3
  - DC has something like 100 food trucks now, inc. the only Chick-fil-a one. Not free though. :-p -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 12:05
  - Free. Foe. Sometimes Fie. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 12:03 1

I would not have realized Lana was born a man (if I did not know) -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 11:46 6
- this news is years old -- nm - zork Jul 26, 11:53 2
  - wait, ty97 is gay?!? -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 12:07
  - It's not news to me. But I would not have looked at Lana and thought "that woman used to be a man" if I wasn't aware. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 12:02
- lana? del ray? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 11:50 2
  - she's just as hideous -- nm - Epiphany Jul 26, 11:55
  - Lana (formerly Larry) Wachowski -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 11:50
those google fiber plans pricing is the sexay as well. - tRuMaN Jul 26, 11:44 1
- They better expand the station lineup though (no HBO, no AMC, no ESPN?) -- nm - decline Jul 26, 11:45
the answer is probably in front of my face, but what is the best way to contact dp3? -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 11:44 3
- [deleted] 2
  - The email wasn't visible to me either (I've been trying my best ot give him players) but haven't heard anything back. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:46

Bob Griffin is my new fave NFL nickname. -- nm - Shaun Jul 26, 11:43 1
- heh, saw that on PTI. Is indeed an awesome burn -- nm - Beaker Jul 26, 11:44
Argh. I'm torn between the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab 2. I really like the expandable memory for the Galaxy but the Nexus is probably a better over all - sycor Jul 26, 11:41 2
- well the Nexus 7 is on serious back-order - you'll probably have to wait weeks (or months) to get it - decline Jul 26, 11:44 1
  - Not really. I'm not going to die if I don't have one tomorrow. But I'm also probably not going to wait two months. - sycor Jul 26, 11:45
Will, ML, I'm going to pass. Thanks though. Spawn, YGM - oblique Jul 26, 11:37 9
- Becuase you turned down ML and I and decided to trade with Spawn. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:39 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - Done -- please verify -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:48 5
      - And your last pick is 7-3? - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:49 3
        
        Make me another offer. I always listen. (nm) - spamlet Jul 26, 11:58 1

I feel bad for Pattinson. He really believed in the love shared in that fake relationship. -- nm - David Jul 26, 11:34 30
- i feel bad for the fans that bought into it heart and soul -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 26, 11:48 8
  - I don't. - znufrii Jul 26, 11:49 7
    - I don't know if it's real or not. It probably doesn't matter anyway. Just can't stand her. -- nm - Diva Jul 26, 11:52 6
      - I really don't care one way or another. - znufrii Jul 26, 11:53 5
        
        but those fans are all about 14 or so. you can't be too judgemental. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 11:56 4
        
        they are? -- (link) - zork Jul 26, 12:03 [Image] 1
        
        reading the books and going to the movies is way separate from buying or not buying into the 'real life' relationship. -- nm - Diva Jul 26, 12:07
        
        not being judgemental so much as saying it's a valuable and necessary lesson for them to learn. -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 11:58 1
        
        I mean, I *am* being judgemental, but that's secondary to the other point. :) -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 11:59

  - I think its fake and it allows everyone to move on from the sham - Epiphany Jul 26, 11:56 5
    - the fact that the lived together, for a long time, makes me think they were together on some level. - Andie Jul 26, 11:58 1
      - Ditto. I think there are fairly few Hollywoods who conspire to set up fake relationships, though there may be plenty who have a warped sense of - Max Jul 26, 12:16
    - i wonder why they wouldn't have chosen an unmarried man for her to canoodle with though if that's the case. - Diva Jul 26, 11:58 2

      - Claire Danes is "old Hollywood"? -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 11:43 4
        
        wel, she's old, at least, by Hollywood standards -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 11:44 2
        
        She's 33. I'm putting this in the "memories are getting shorter" file. -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 11:49 1
        
        She'll always be 16 and redheaded to me. -- nm - spamlet Jul 26, 12:00

      - for some reason, I got it into my head that it was going to be Randy Moss part 2 -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 11:43
    - Looking at your roster, you could use another WR for your Flex. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:41 3
      - I'll think about it, but I'm most likely going to carry Greene as the flex. I like RBs -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 11:42 2
        
        I did that once. It was a bad choice. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 11:45 1
        
        I'll think about it, but feel free to try to deal him in the meantime. Thanks ;) -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 11:51
    - huh? -- nm - Diva Jul 26, 11:40 1
      - I just traded ML for Wes Welker, all signs point to awesome so I am dreading something horrible -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 11:41
I should probably eat something, huh... -- nm - znufrii Jul 26, 11:33
