    - I'll bet when they get the bill from his work that policy will change -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:39

- one of my best halloween costumes ever was Carrie. - Andie Aug 31, 11:36 4
  - was Bride of Frankenstein your best one? -- nm - zork Aug 31, 11:37 1
    - probably the Potato Heads were the best. Bride of Frankenstein was kind of easy, comparitively. - Andie Aug 31, 11:38
  - Carrie did that one year as well...for work. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 11:37 1
    - her name is Carrie! She had too! -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 11:37
- been filming in Toronto and starring Chloe Moretz (had been rumours of Dakota at first) -- nm - zork Aug 31, 11:33 2

Vampirates question. Can we start taking players off the Free Agent board? I might want another kicker -- nm - Bacon Aug 31, 11:04 24
- Yes. All undrafted players were fair game the moment the draft finished. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:06 20
  - Do we have our IR spots? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:07 19
    - You asked this the other day and I don't understand the question. - David Aug 31, 11:08 18
      - When he asked ealier I looked at the league settings,and no IR spot was listed. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:19 2
        
        Yahoo's rules wouldn't work for our purposes. So the IR spot is done on the board just like the draft. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:28
        
        I think it is like double-secret probation? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:21
      - I want to pick up a player and put him on IR. Or is that not how it is functioning? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:09 14
        
        You cannot pick up a player just to put him on IR. It's only for players you own. - David Aug 31, 11:27 3
        
        Well, I would think he could if he treated it like a normal transaction. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:29 2
        
        See the board. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:31
        
        I will abide by David's explanation on the boards. Like it better, in fact. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:31
        
        I thought if you ended UP with a player on IR you could then put him on the IR list. -- nm - Bacon Aug 31, 11:22 9
        
        BTW the latest NFL rules negotiaitions with the PA is going to allow for a 60 day IR but after 60 the player can come back if healthy -- nm - Bacon Aug 31, 11:23 8
        
        Only one player per team, and that is half the season. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:28
        
        Exactly. - Spawn Aug 31, 11:24 6
        
        JBest was my idea, but it looks like we are not doing the temp basis. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:35 4
        
        I agree he's the best of the list. I dont' see how me plays for more than a few games without getting hit in the head though -- nm - Bacon Aug 31, 11:40 2
        
        But that is the beauty of the IR spot. You sit him there, and fill his spot on your roster until you need him (bye week or injury), then you use him. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:42 1
        
        The important part of the BF rule appears to be that he must be healthy when you draft him and *then* get injured/put on IR. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:43
        
        scratch that -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:38
        
        If you mean Fannin, be prepared to use the IR spot for him again next year. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:32
- Three kickers is too many. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:06
- no, not until week 3. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 11:05 1
  - *sarcastic gaze* -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:05

Oh gawd, I just watched the Eastwood thing. That's just so sad. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 10:50 29
- I'm actually choosing to believe that he's not losing it. He's still a vital filmmaker. I lean more towards the fact that he's not really a public - pmb Aug 31, 11:30
- I'm watching it now and trying to figure out the rationale behind it. I think he thought why just make a speech when it would have more impact for - Loyola Aug 31, 11:07 5
  - Plus, he is an actor. Easier to act than to... speechify. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:08 4
    - In fairness to him he wrapped it up well; paraphrasing; "whether you're a republican or democrat or libertarian or whatever, you're the best in the - Loyola Aug 31, 11:12 3
      - Yes, because Americans are the best in the world! -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:13 2
        
        Well second best. You'll never beat the Irish! Unless it's at soccer and most other sports. -- nm - Loyola Aug 31, 11:15 1
        
        I am on book 4 or 5 of Artemis Fowl right now, so I will agree with this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:41
- The attorney line sealed the deal. I was like "Clint, you really need to shut up." -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:05 3
  - heheh. I thought about ST at that line. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 31, 11:06 2
    - I've now been thinking who Obama could bring out that would be hysterical. The Rock? Vin Diesel? -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:11 1
      - Eli Wallach? - zork Aug 31, 11:12

    - 'Painful' was my immediate reaction. So terribly sad. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 31, 10:59
- I realized this morning that this is the same discomfort I have when I watch Pat Summitt speak. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:53

Boxer Micky Ward has pulled out of an event today with Scott Brown since Brown is anti gay-marriage -- (link) - MDH Aug 31, 10:48 2
- Huh. Good for him, although he probably should have guessed those things before now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 10:50
- You'd think he'd just write "GAY" on one hand and "RIGHTS" on the other and then just punch him repeatedly instead -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 10:49
I should've brought my Kindle Fire to work today. Everyone is done at 2pm but I need to watch a process finish which should be done between 3 and 4 - oblique Aug 31, 10:45

Bill Nye is on CNN right now. -- nm - David Aug 31, 10:39 8

zork - skunking comes from exposure to light. Homebrew can go bad for lots of other reasons, though. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 10:39
Hmm. The NL hasn't had someone hit 40 HR in the past two seasons. In 2001, Bonds hit #40 in the 1st game after the all-star break. -- nm - volnelk Aug 31, 10:37 4
- And the only guy with a realistic shot this year is Braun. Questionable. -- nm - volnelk Aug 31, 10:49 1
