"Make more Olympics happen." "No, it's over." "Other channels. Go." "A half hour of news, then it comes on. You have to wait." "No. More now." -- nm - vacation transcripts Jul 30, 21:11
That fencing appeal was powerful. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 21:03
I realize that FRA and GER were never really in medal contention (spoiler) - Under the Influence Jul 30, 20:58 2
- That's why I watched in streaming at work. They had a "main" feed, and sep feeds for every event. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 21:03 1
  - I might have to check that out. There has to be a feed like that here in Canada. :) -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 30, 21:07
It is kind of amusing that you have to pay cash to submit a judging protest. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 20:50 11
- But only the Chinese Yuan, no Euro or American cash. -- nm - Olympic Judge Jul 30, 21:09

    - It was certainly a close call. - Dano Jul 30, 21:17
- even if the judge is your mom. (yeah, kayaker was penalized 2 seconds by a judge who was his mother) -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:53 2
  - She must remain impartial. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:55 1
    - He was penalized because he did not call home last night. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 30, 21:02
- cash makes the wheels turn. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 30, 20:52
Bravo, but that's another example of why I don't like multiple gymnastics events happening at the same time in the same room. -- nm - Max Jul 30, 20:46 4
- yeah, they really shouldn't have put the vault so close to the rings. that was just asking for trouble. -- nm - mafic Jul 30, 20:48 3
  - OTOH, we were that close to a new event being born. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 20:52 2
    - Something should replace pommel, that event is worthless. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 21:10 1
      - I always found rings to be the most boring event to watch. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 21:18
Arcade owner confirms that Claw Machines are rigged -- (link) - amoxy Jul 30, 20:38 1
- do tell me more -- nm - Florida Elections Board Jul 30, 20:49
I recognize that some people - even on ST - may support Romney on policy alone. - Mop Jul 30, 20:34 4
- the policy he now opposes or the same policy he used to support? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 30, 20:59
- And a lot of people who can't believe that he actually would raise taxes on the middle class -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:39
- *what* policy? All i get from his speaches is...remember when america was great? And obama is wrong but i'll make it better (but not one word what - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:38
- You can say that about any candidate though. All politicians fudge the truth while campaigning. - Roger More Jul 30, 20:36
Thank the gods that SyFy doesn;t care about no stinkin' Olympics. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 30, 20:32 1
- "OH, you didn't know????" -- nm - The Road Dawg Jul 30, 20:58
the winter olympics have something thats missing from the summer...more cow bell -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:29 2
- the summer uniforms are a lot easier on the eyes -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 20:34 1
  - Unless you are the Spanish team. -- nm - Olympic Judge Jul 30, 21:11
Ohhhhhh, it's Monday. - Tim Jul 30, 20:25

- Delgado was, yes. The Cubs are not confirming any trades tonight. - Other David Jul 30, 20:40 2
  - Arodys Vizcaino is apparently the other. He is a premier prospect but only four months removed from Tommy John. - Other David Jul 30, 20:43 1
    - Especially when they traded Soto. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:46
- they're getting two minor league pitchers in that one. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:32
- and soto to the rangers for a minor league pitcher - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:30

- I'm not sure if I'm watching the exact clip you linked (youtube glitched), but I'm watching Lem & Phil answer Reddit questions. - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:39
The Closer (spoils) - prayformojo Jul 30, 20:06 1
- Spoils - TWuG Jul 30, 20:21
Punk got drilled. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 20:02 4
- Courtney's vajayjay? -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:07
- mmmm, AJ. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 20:06
- I do dig crazy dudes. -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 20:03
- triple threat i guess -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 20:03
An American swimmer named Bree(ja) Larson?! -- nm - nubby Jul 30, 19:58 4
- A Denis and a David on the Russian Gymnastics team. -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 30, 20:25
- (spoils) - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:14 1
  - Spoils - Roger More Jul 30, 20:34
- Yeah, she's a lot more Donna Moss looking that Brie Larson. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 30, 20:02
Whenever they show weightlifting, I keep expecting someone to yank their arms off. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 19:55 12
- This is what I think of whenever I see weightlifting: -- (link) - kelly Jul 30, 20:16 7
  - Not available in my country. But I know exactly which clip you mean. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:19 6
    - I tried to find one - but they were all Hulu or SNL. -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 20:21 5
      - Well, it's not like it's your fault. Blame NBC! :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:37 3
        
        We do. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:43 2
        
        I am waiting for NBC to send a letter to Bery asking to suspend half of our ST accounts. -- nm - Roger More Jul 30, 20:45 1
        
        "Dear NBC, bring back The Others, Raines, Journeyman, and Andy Barker PI, and then we'll talk." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 21:22
      - the all drug olympics? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:28
- Oh no, his arms have come off! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:13
- how about a prolapsed anus? or at least poopy pants -- nm - zork Jul 30, 20:07 1
  - LOL @ "poopy pants". Is that a technical term? Hahahhahaha -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 20:11
- you some times see them hyperextend their elbow which pretty much looks like breaking their arm in half -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 19:58
STIS: I'm pretty good about FB security provisions. But I can't seem to block/limit for people on a set "list" is the wall stuff (i.e. like) - MDH Jul 30, 19:55 1
- put them on a list, either make one or use the catchall aquaintences, then hide all by those people - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:34
Heh heheheh! NBC has dialed down the hype compared to last nights gymnastics. -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 30, 19:53 8
- We're essentially at a full-on NBC ban in my house because of their lack of international coverage ... :) - Beryllium Jul 30, 19:56 7
  - But this is nothing new. Frankly, it'd be a shock if NBC's coverage wasn't this jingoistic. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 21:02
  - I switch to the French channel whenever there is a talking CTV head on the screen, or whenever they get excited that someone with a Canadian aunt wins - Roger More Jul 30, 20:00 5
    - yeah, that got annoying too, when they were fawning over an american swimmer because she summered or practiced in nova scotia or something. - Beryllium Jul 30, 20:12 4
      - Yeah - she has Canadian parents, who moved to the States ages ago, but it just got sickening. My wife pointed out that this year when the athletes - Roger More Jul 30, 20:48 2
        
        I think you're right. we'll probably get a few in rowing, but otherwise it's not looking great. - mafic Jul 30, 20:52 1
        
        Is there anyone in track to look forward to? -- nm - Roger More Jul 30, 20:53
      - At least you get people from other countries. We've got the all American channel. - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:18
crowd is hot. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 19:49
Google logo is fencing today. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 19:46 2
- and their day changes at 12 east time, so 74 minutes left -- nm - peglegpete Jul 30, 19:46 1
  - because our time MATTERS! -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 20:08
Looks like they're going with Punk as a tweener rather than a full heel. - Tim Jul 30, 19:46 4
- which is fine with me. He can screw with everybody. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 19:49 3
  - Yeah, me too. I was worried they'd go back to "I'm straight-edge and better than you" Punk which would be terrible. - Tim Jul 30, 19:51 2
    - though he still shivved Cena. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 19:55 1
      - He's just killing it on commentary right now. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 19:56
LIR nmb Zork - gosh what beautiful shelties - their markings are just so pretty ... Males? Females? What are their names & how old? So awesome! -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:45 3
- males. the (dark) sable is Brody, he's 12 now. Blue is the blue merle and is now 9. - zork Jul 30, 20:12 2
  - Wonderful!!! So lucky to have had them so long! -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 20:18 1
    - 12 to 14 is quite common for shelties. my pervious one was 16 and I've heard of 18. - zork Jul 30, 20:23
I just don't get scoring in gymnastics - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:38 11
- If a little girl takes a mis-step, it's an error. If she falls on her ass, you just feel bad. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 21:14
- two different sets of scores and judges. One set covers the difficulty of the program. The other covers the deductions for faults - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 19:42 6
  - Fell on his ass. That is just failure. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:43 5
    - think about trying a triple this while a simultaneous double that and NOT landing on your head -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 19:47
    - Not how the scoring works though. It's an effort to get rid of bias and address the new levels of difficulty. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 19:46
    - He had 2 points worth of deductions for that. Vault is a high scoring event because there's not a lot of time for little deductions. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 19:45 2
      - I still think that is low. Fell on his ass. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:48 1
        
        Vault is just such a different event because it's just one move to be judged on. I suppose they could make special judging for vault. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 20:06
- 10 is good, anything less is... less good. -- nm - mafic Jul 30, 19:39 2
  - So that 13.466 was actually phenomenal! -- nm - mara Jul 30, 19:49 1
    - style and grace, form and function is still 10 pts PLUS points for the difficulty level, doing a difficult stunts and wobbling should score more than - zeitgeist Jul 30, 19:56
you're welcome ladies -- (link) - mafic Jul 30, 19:34 6
- Gayest Row team ever! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 30, 20:57
- C+ for dance. AAA+++ for costuming. -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 19:57
- As if Will's tendonitis wasn't already bad enough after ogling the gymnasts. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 30, 19:43 3
  - LOL -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:48
  - Bad wiggie! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:45 1
    - :P nm - ralph wiggum Jul 30, 19:49
My wrists develop spontaneous tendonitis out of sympathy watching this gymnastics -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:28
Albert! Albert! Albert! -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 19:26
OMG, the pink! The pink!!! -- nm - mara Jul 30, 19:23
This is your weekly reminder that Trouty is better than you. -- nm - David Jul 30, 19:20 6
- Trouty is slightly better than he was last year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:22 5
  - It's obscene that the team that just signed Pujols now has the next Pujols. - David Jul 30, 19:24 4
    - I think they are shocked at the power. He was a 25 homer guy, not a 40 - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:26 3
      - If his power keeps developing before he loses his speed, he's baseball's next 40/40 player. -- nm - David Jul 30, 19:29 2
        
        If Kemp doesn't beat him to it. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 30, 19:45
        
        At twenty. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:30
a guy from high school who used to trash me behind my back by calling me gay tried to friend me on FB. I never accepted the request. Ironically, ... - zork Jul 30, 19:20 9
- "Dear whoever....I don't friend hypocrites." -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 19:49
- I'm friends with a few people like that on facebook, mostly out of trainwreck curiosity. -- nm - mafic Jul 30, 19:46
- I love when people who tortured me in high school want to be my "friend" on Facebook. - Amanda Jul 30, 19:31 1
  - yeah I had a bout 30 I've ignored from high school. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 19:39
- This happened to a bunch of people I know. Oddly enough, more lesbians than gays though. -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 19:25 1
  - Also, zork, re: your comment on B2. I know right? - MDH Jul 30, 19:27
- In his defence, in high school you looked like Simon Le Bon -- nm - Roger More Jul 30, 19:24
- He wasn't trashing you. He was asking you out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 30, 19:21 1
  - I meant to say *tried to* trash me, but you'd think he'd do it to my face (so to speak) if that were the case. -- nm - zork Jul 30, 19:22
So how do you make salsa? Anyone got a simple recipe? - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 19:19 14
- Tomatoes, onions, lime juice, jalapeno, If you want avacado or garlic or green onions. - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 30, 20:06
- chop tomato onion ...really no cilantro?...so you're one of those, well how about some parsley?, skip it then, chop peppers or some mango or peach or - zeitgeist Jul 30, 19:44 5
  - One of "THOSE" people?!?! You, sir, are an herbist! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 20:21 1
    - joins the green party -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 30, 23:36
  - Helloooooo? Garlic! (either chopped fine or better still through a garlic press) -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:48 2
    - if he won't do cilantro then do you think garlic is on the cutting board? - zeitgeist Jul 30, 20:01 1
      - I cannot imagine a world without garlic - I would cease to exist. -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 20:09
- Step One: Add listeria. -- nm - Trader Joes Jul 30, 19:36
- Aren't those romas though? You should make sauce (pasta saucs) - not salsa. -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 19:35 2
  - See, that's cooking, so that ain't gonna happen. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 30, 19:53 1
    - :) you don't know what you're missing -- nm - JenBro Jul 30, 20:12
- This sounds easy enough (and you can just omit the cilantro): -- (link) - kelly Jul 30, 19:30
- Tomatoes, peppers (mix and match to your spiciness taste), onions, garlic, chili powder -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 19:22
- Step One: Go to Costco. Step two: pick up their mango salsa. Step three: enjoy. -- nm - what JaxSean saw Jul 30, 19:20
oof -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 19:18 1
- the vault must be so much easier now with that huge flat target they have now as opposed to the small rectangle they used to use. -- nm - zork Jul 30, 19:21
That was a great Raw match. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 19:17 1
- yep. the Shemus/Bryan match was stellar as well -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 19:17
At the end of July, every team in the AL East will have a winning record - prayformojo Jul 30, 19:16
"I love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, my friend (Mike) Baxter here." -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 19:13
