Dammit!! I was hoping Victor Cruz would fall 29 more spots to me. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:52 1
- I can't believe he fell to 8. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 18:55
So, I've been watching Prime Suspect. (casting spoilers) - nubby Aug 27, 18:46 1
- he kind of gave me that vibe in Dragonheart. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 18:49
They didn't show his face, but I'm pretty sure Chris Benoit was just in this HHH video on Raw. - Tim Aug 27, 18:45
Hee, Mitt buys his shirts at Costco. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 27, 18:42 2
- Which staff member does he send to do it. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:43 1
  - Heh, I caught up on the clip late. Ann was saying how much he likes his Kirkland shirts. - MojaveMeg Aug 27, 18:55
Just think of all the personal liberties we will be keeping because the Republican Convention had one less night to steal them away from us. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:38 5
- How come no right winger is saying it's a punishment from above due to the evil of the GOP? - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:39 3
  - God hates Mormons I guess. Should have picked a "Legitimate" Christian I guess. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:45
  - you're not paying attention! -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:40 1
    - ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:41
- it is not congress. - loosilu Aug 27, 18:39
Very nice summary of Kane there. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:38
If I was a betting man. I would not bet on the New Orleans levies holding. - Redmond Aug 27, 18:36 25
- they're built to withstand category 2, yes? -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:37 24
  - Did they rebuild them better? -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:38 23
    - I thought that was the baseline. K was Category 3. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:39 22
      - They weren't built quite right to begin with. - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:41 8
        
        They were built on a budget. It was either that or not rebuild the city. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:42 7
        
        hang on. the levees are built by the ACE, I thought. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:42 6
        
        They still have a budget -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:43 5
        
        of course, but they're not responsible for rebuilding the city. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:44 4
        
        Well, you need the first thing before you would spend money on the second -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:49 3
        
        different pools of money. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:50 2
        
        What I am saying.... If you don't have levies, you can't have a city that is under sea level there -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:51 1
        
        I know what you are saying, but the two things are independent as far as funding. - loosilu Aug 27, 18:54
      - For storm surge yes. This is a very slow mover. It's the rain that is going to get them. - Redmond Aug 27, 18:40 12
        
        I thought they could handle rain. storm surge is what they can't handle. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:42 11
        
        The rain is what got them last time. It was the second of the one two punches that caused them to fail. As I understand it -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:43 10
        
        I thought surge. someone should research. I am doing laundry right now and can't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:45 2
        
        you ask, i answer. redmond read this - tRuMaN Aug 27, 18:53 1
        
        thank you tru! -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:54
        
        no it wasnt, it was the storm surge that broke the levies, the rain just made it worse. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 27, 18:44 6
        
        I thought they didn't break until day 2 after the storm was out of the area -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:46 4
        
        mostly yes, but if you read the reports, or such - tRuMaN Aug 27, 18:50 1
        
        the official reports say it was surge. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 27, 18:52
        
        The surge washed the footings, whatever, out from under the levees and weakened them. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:49
        
        yes, but I believe it was after a day or two of strain after surge. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:48
        
        It undercut them. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:44
Woohoo!! Just 29 more picks and I get to pick again -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:28 2
- Krusty, boodechay, me -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 18:28 1
  - Krusty? Why haven't you picked, Krusty? C'mon dude, it's been 5 minutes. WHERE ARE YOU??? PICK!! - Redmond si Aug 27, 18:40
Corky on 'Copper' is Irish Shaft. -- nm - Diva Aug 27, 18:21
Interesting...I hadn't heard about this mango recall until I tried to buy some this afternoon. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 27, 18:20

Uhm....... -- (link) - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:17 1

- list submitted for pick 1-11 -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 18:20
Follow up to this morning's light-rail vs bus crash. Investigators are focusing on the train driver as possibly having run a red signal. - MojaveMeg Aug 27, 18:14
*is ready to choke a bitch* -- nm - spamlet Aug 27, 17:55 37
- [deleted] 36
  - this better not be directed at me, 40 minute is not valid lag time to complain - crash davis Aug 27, 18:10 35
    - [deleted] 28
      - 40 minutes?both you and spamlet had 40 minute picks this morning. there have been longer lag times than that and I get bitched at? - crash davis Aug 27, 18:26 27
        
        [deleted] 16
        
        my apologies, I read that at "It is, a bit" which is my problem. I'm cranky about something else and I shouldn't have let that get me. - crash davis Aug 27, 18:35 15
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        *shakes his head and takes two drinks* -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 18:49
        
        I read it like that, too. FWIW. -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 18:42
        
        You guys have a huge thunderstorm night the other night. Was it cool to watch? - Redmond Aug 27, 18:37 8
        
        Unfortunately, I hate them right now. It is so dry each thunderstorm this time of year means a huge forest fire or two. Trish's favorite place to go - crash davis Aug 27, 18:40 4
        
        Ah that sucks. So that latest batch was dry lighting? -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:41 3
        
        yeah, not much precipitation at all -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 18:46 2
        
        I saw the massive ammounts of lighting and just assumed it was also a soaker. - Redmond Aug 27, 18:47 1
        
        lightning is usually on the edges of a storm, out htere. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:55
        
        do you not get them? -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:38 2
        
        We get a half dozen a year. When we get one it produces a dozen lighting strikes tops. - Redmond Aug 27, 18:39 1
        
        I couldn't live there. No t-storms, no fireflies! -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:46
        
        Just keep making ML feel like a jerk and everybody wins. -- nm - David Aug 27, 18:37 2
        
        Well, he did take the Sea Def without my prior consent - crash davis Aug 27, 18:39 1
        
        (which was hilarious) -- nm - David Aug 27, 18:43
        
        No, I've been on the phone with Delta and AmEx for the last hour and a half trying to convince them not to send me to NO this week. - spamlet Aug 27, 18:28 9
        
        I heard on the radio just now that the airport is cancelling flights for Tuesday at least. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:38
        
        FWIW, you are up but I understand that this is a low priority right now. -- nm - David Aug 27, 18:37 5
        
        I just picked. -- nm - spamlet Aug 27, 18:46 4
        
        seriously, I feel stupid and like an idiot and I apologize to you -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 18:47 3
        
        Please don't. I'm on hold with AmEx (again) so I have time. - spamlet Aug 27, 18:47 2
        
        well, I do blame ML for most everything so that is why my apology to you is more strident -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 18:48 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        ah, my spologies. I'm sorry to hear about your problems with your flight. -- nm - crash davis Aug 27, 18:33
        
        ML, you need a new bit. Nobody seems to get it -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:31
    - *gets the popcorn* Groiny was right - it's getting even better! :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 18:11 5
      - every year it almost makes me want to join, but then every year I remember I don't know anything about football. -- nm - mafic Aug 27, 18:25 3
        
        one year I joined, and I did decently. Samara told me what to do every week. -- nm - loosilu Aug 27, 18:40
        
        that last bit hasnt stopped redmond from playing -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 27, 18:31 1
        
        Golf clap -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 18:57
      - And it lasts for ages. - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:15

- Birthing Pod is why I main deck Naturalize. - Qale Aug 27, 17:54 25
  - Oh and here was my GP sealed deck. - Tim Aug 27, 18:10 3
    - THAT looks sexy. I'd be thrilled to play that in sealed. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:12 2
      - It was fun. In my four losses, only one really upsets me. - Tim Aug 27, 18:17 1
        
        Lurve the Roaring Primadox. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:22
  - Here. - Qale Aug 27, 18:02 5
    - I like it. - Tim Aug 27, 18:06 4
      - I do not. And Genesis Wave ain't the same I quickly discovered. I only have one other deck to take to Con. G/W Champions! - Qale Aug 27, 18:10 3
        
        I just realized... - Qale Aug 27, 18:26
        
        Hmm, not bad. (but every deck is weak to vapor snag!) - Tim Aug 27, 18:26 1
        
        Haha. I just posted that! Sounds good. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:26
  - It doesn't need the pod but the value is insane and it's fun as hell. - Tim Aug 27, 18:00 14
    - Blood Artist is a must kill card. That thing can get out of control in a hurry. So innocuous. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:04 13
      - Most aggressive 0/1 ever. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 18:06 12
        
        I *thought* I spoke fluent geek, but this like Mandarin geek, and I speak mainland Chinese geek. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 18:20 4
        
        I wasn't going to do it in the subject line, then I was like, eff it, most are drafting, why not just this once. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:32 3
        
        yeah, let us have our geekery :) -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 18:33 2
        
        I just wanted to go to Con with a deck that didn't suck for once. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:40
        
        I welcome it as a change from the sprts geekery. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:38
        
        Try it podless! (you don't even want to KNOW!) -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 18:13 6
        
        :) -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 18:17
        
        It won't be long now before they'll all have to go podless. Hurrah! -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 18:14 4
        
        Yeah, I actually won't be sad to see that one go. - Tim Aug 27, 18:17 3
        
        Geeks! - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:19 2
        
        we prefer "nerds." -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 18:19 1
        
        Okay...NERDS!!!!! -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 27, 18:22
Unless Beaker shows up again, Cavemen are done for the night. - David Aug 27, 17:49
Well that's something, Spanish magazine... -- (link) - Reagen Aug 27, 17:45 3
- what's even weirder is that in the text there's absolutely no acknowledgement of it. - mafic Aug 27, 18:03
- I'm surprised - zork Aug 27, 18:02
- um. wow. -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 17:47
i heard that someone had done a poll showing that a overwhelming portion of both parties would be willing to increase taxes to save social security. - tRuMaN Aug 27, 17:42 1
- Here -- (link) - Roger More Aug 27, 17:45
Zeit, I read that too but also that it's unlikely anything Apple's request would happen -- nm - zork Aug 27, 17:41 1
- ok. cool....however apple is not known for licensing their core product technology -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 27, 18:52

T-Rich before Jamaal Charles was funny stuff. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 17:39 24
- FWIW, I had Charles 1 and Jordy Nelson 2. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 17:53
- It is a keeper league. That has to factor in. If Richardson is good, he's good for four or five seasons. Charles doesn't have that many in him. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 17:41 21
  - T Rich is coming off 2 knee surgeries in the last 6 months and is playing in a division with 4 games vs the 2 best consistent defenses in the league - Will Hunting Aug 27, 17:43 16
    - I totally wouldn't have traded down today, except I felt I should fire right away since we're so far behind. If wanting to trade up again,... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 17:46 3
      - done. -- nm - kelly Aug 27, 17:55 1
        
        (I emailed your first name.last name at gmail) -- nm - kelly Aug 27, 18:16
      - I wanted to offer you my first pick for your first and second, but yesterday took so fucking long - Redmond Aug 27, 17:49
    - and isn't sharing the ball with Peyton Hillis. I just love backs in 2 back systems. They really screw your pooch when you need those goal line TDs - Redmond Aug 27, 17:45 11
      - Charles scores TDs because he never gets tackled from behind. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:51 7
        
        I will take Richardson, McFadden and Demarco Murray and be a very happy man. - Redmond Aug 27, 17:53 6
        
        Remember last year when you liked your chances after the draft? Good times. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:57 3
        
        It can't get any worse can it? -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 17:59 2
        
        Unless there was a manager change, of course it can. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:59 1
        
        Don't boot Samara, she's the only player I beat last year. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 18:01
        
        so rookie on bad team, seemingly small injury prone, and - tRuMaN Aug 27, 17:54 1
        
        Time will tell. -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 17:56
      - Hillis? The same guy that did jack squat on Cleveland last year? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 17:50 1
        
        Because he was pissing about his contract -- nm - Redmond Aug 27, 17:50
      - yes, cause two years ago that same system really screwed charles when he shared with jones. - tRuMaN Aug 27, 17:46
  - ??? Charles is 25, not 30. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 17:43 3
    - Hmmm. I had him a year or two older. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 17:45 2
      - He basically has 2 seasons of wear on him + last year's surgery -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 17:49 1
        
        I have seen many backs take a full season to get back to where they were after ACL surgery. - Redmond Aug 27, 17:50
- I am going to havw to go look at that! -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 17:39
Pitch Perfect trailer -- (link) - Dano Aug 27, 17:37 [youtube] 3
