Networks limiting convention coverage to one hour a night for only the last three nights, will not air Ann Romney's opening night speech -- (link) - znufrii Aug 22, 13:10 6
- Uhm... didn't they do this last time? -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:13 5
  - Ann Romney opened the 2008 RNC? -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 13:14 4
    - heh. One hour a night fo rthe last three nights. That was how they did them both in '04. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:17 1
      - Or 8, rather. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:17
    - and a quick search indicates that in 2008 the networks provided an hour of coverage for each of the 4 nights. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 13:17 1
      - or had planned to at least -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 13:19

  - I knew she used her tongue well, just not for words. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 13:13
- 527. Rematch? -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 13:09 8
  - I guess so. - groiny Aug 22, 13:10 7
    - *hands you the WWF 500 Owned hat* -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:11 3
      - when are you and I gonna play some one on one Halo? - groiny Aug 22, 13:12 2
        
        I will play you tonight. - Spawn Aug 22, 13:14 1
        
        you can get a nice 32 inch TV for 200 bucks somewhere. - groiny Aug 22, 13:15
    - that was a good win, though. -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 13:10 2
      - *calls LL Cool J and advises him of your molesting of him* nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 13:11 1

I general, in keeper leagues where you won't be keeping Player A do you a) settle for best offer b) demand premium draft pick for player or c) happy - Stephen Aug 22, 13:01 12
- Depends on he player, where I pick, and how I think the draft will fall. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 22, 13:11
- Are people offering him draft picks, or other players? -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:06 7
  - Picks -- nm - Stephen Aug 22, 13:08 6
    - What is his reasoing for not keeping anyone? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 22, 13:13 4
      - He hasn't said, but, since he came to the league after the keeper deadline he sees that even though he's got the 3rd draft slot he's got the first - Stephen Aug 22, 13:26
      - If people were only offering players, I could see him (dumbly) seeing it as them having to use picks to get his throw offs gives him better picks. - Spawn Aug 22, 13:15 2
        
        Depending on the offers, I can potentially understand it. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 22, 13:20
        
        see? something is better than nothing! -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:16
    - Okay, 100% idiot, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:09
- He's an idiot for declaring he's not keeping anyone. - spamlet Aug 22, 13:04
- he's an idiot -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:01 1
  - yup. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 13:03
seven-year, $42 million extension for Taylor Hall and the Oilers -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:00 1

I brought Xmas presents at lunch today...Actually two stocking stuffers for my kids - amoxy Aug 22, 12:59 9
- ? I have X-mas presents for Bub this year that I bought years before he was born. - Spawn Aug 22, 13:07 6
  - I've never thought this far ahead. I'm still deciding what sort of things I want to expose kieran to (as far as computers & computer history, etc) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:12 5
    - computer history! :) that's funny. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:13 4
      - He's going to know what a modem handshake means and why a 3.5" floppy disk is called that when it's not floppy ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:16 3
        
        Is he ever likely to see/use a 3.5" floppy ? -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 22, 13:18 1
        
        See, yes. Use? Only if I pick up an old machine for him to hack on. - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:19
        
        heck, if we get far enough into father/son projects, we might even built a shortwave modem ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:16
- Kindly step off. -- nm - David Aug 22, 13:03
- David's gonna ask you to kindly step off -- nm - prayformojo Aug 22, 13:00
Also JanBro, Pixar stamps were released 2-3 months ago, so your post office has them if they have not ran out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 12:57 2
- I am totally getting these for when my niece and nephew go to camp next Summer (I send envelope with candy) -- nm - JenBro Aug 22, 13:00 1
  - They totally replaced the superhero stamps as my Go To. (and sorry about the typo, reduced caffeine sucks!) -- nm - Spawn Aug 22, 13:04

glad to see my fellow city employees are hard at work...wait... let me rephrase that... -- (link) - gLu Aug 22, 12:48 9
- Yeah, you'd think after the parking officers incident they'd be a little more careful. Wasn't there also a case involving a fire truck? -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 22, 13:12 1
  - Ah yes, there it is.... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 22, 13:16
- Hee...Hey we have a group on Facebook -- (link) - amoxy Aug 22, 13:08 1

The 5 most ridiculous drinking myths you probably believe -- (link) - Beaker Aug 22, 12:45 32
- #3 is off the mark, I think - znufrii Aug 22, 12:50 29
  - That's another, separate criticism of American beer - but not one that can be debunked. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 12:55 20
    - craft beers have made it irrelevant. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 12:55 19
      - Irrelevant to people who buy craft beers, sure. But compare, say, Molson to Budweiser. - Roger More Aug 22, 13:01 6
        
        they're both, well, yeah. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:05 5
        
        To come at this another way, the worst mass market beers in Australia are Victoria Bitter and XXXX. Neither are good, but they are both bitter beers, - Roger More Aug 22, 13:10 4
        
        I had some pretty shitty beer in the UK. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:14 3
        
        and? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:15 2
        
        there is shitty beer everywhere! although, probably not belgium. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 13:21 1
        
        Who was disputing that? -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:22
      - though, they still only account for just over 5% of total market share. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 12:58
      - yes cause their sales equate to .000001% of the major brands...oh wait.. -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 12:58
      - I don't think anyone ever claimed that American beers universally were less flavourful by virtue of being American - Reagen Aug 22, 12:58 9
        
        Hmm, I'm pretty sure my Canadian co-workers at a company I worked for years ago said exactly that. :) - loosilu Aug 22, 13:00
        
        No, american pisswater is less flavourful because it's pisswater. The actual american beer is fine. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 12:58 7
        
        I don't drink Canadian or Blue either. (They're both only marginally better than Bud or Coors) -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:00 6
        
        (I've never consumed a drop of alcohol in my life. All of my commentary on this subject is completely tongue-in-cheek.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:02 1
        
        well, perhaps "a drop" is overstating it (medicine, food), but the gist is there. Never drank. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:02
        
        we have a Provincial brand that is $4 cheaper a dozen then the brands...me likey $4 -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:01 3

        Lite Beer M -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:03 1
        
        Lite beer is called Jame Reddy and another one called Strong Beer with a few others too (6 in total) -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 13:04
  - I've definitely heard people say they have less alcohol. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 12:52 7
    - that's the first thing I always hear about them, hence the canoe joke -- nm - zork Aug 22, 13:07
    - It doesn't help things that the most popular American beers are the lite versions. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:55 4
      - But Lite had sales of $5.3B last year. The #2 beer in America is Budweiser, with "only" $2B. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 12:58 3
        
        Butt Lite? heheh -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 13:06
        
        It amused me how all the innovations with Coors Lite seem to be designed to get down your throat faster before you taste it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 13:01
        
        I was amused how Bud Light is now marketing a "Platinum" beer with higher alcohol content than regular Budweiser. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 12:59
