- I just left work, and taking the rest of the week off. I have to burn 58 hours of vacation time or I lose it. - JaxSean Nov 28, 11:35 10
  - Yeah I hate this rule at work. We're only allowed to carry over a maximum of 80 hrs every time we hit our hiring anniversary. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:51 5
    - we don't allow people to carry over any time. Use it or lose it. -- nm - decline Nov 28, 11:53 4

        For your office, don't you mean per week? -- nm - oblique Nov 28, 11:54
  - a while ago I was told to take 4 weeks or lose (plus carrying 7 days). I've taken maybe one week of that so far. -- nm - zork Nov 28, 11:49
  - jonathan asked me to pick up his younger child at school on friday and was super apologetic about it. "I'm so sorry you have to burn vacation." - amanda Nov 28, 11:37 1
    - Yeah, they're easy days/hours off. I just didn't go on any vacations this year and was sick 2 days. - JaxSean Nov 28, 11:41

- Debbie Yow (NC State's AD) is looking for their next Head Coach to bring in "Alabama-type talent" - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:28 3

  - Debbie Yow should be lucky she has a job anywhere after her tenure at MD. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:29
  - UAB is in Alabama -- nm - ty97 Nov 28, 11:29
- Duke would be the oddest chip to fall in this entire ordeal. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:27

[deleted] 16

- Holiday Tree! -- nm - JaxSean Nov 28, 11:33
- i like it (keeping religion in a proper perspective depending on site), but, - Andie Nov 28, 11:29
- Yea, and (IM) no it doesnt. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 28, 11:29
- It is enough of a nonsecular holiday that I am okay with it. No religious symbols though. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 11:26 8
  - [deleted] 6

        "I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?" -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 11:47
        
        I see where you're going, but I would argue that, in practice, the observation of Chrstimas is not a primarily religious nature. -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 11:37 1
        
        Yeah, Santa trumps his arguement. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 11:47

Truly amazing footage of cheetah's running in super-slow motion (and making of video) -- (link) - oblique Nov 28, 11:24 2
- It's nice, but I want to see capuchin monkeys throwing cucumbers in slow motion... -- nm - landbeck Nov 28, 11:31 1
  - capuchins and cucumbers are not on the same continent! -- nm - oblique Nov 28, 11:33
ST poll - post Thanksgiving bloat - who still has turkey leftovers? pies? how much weight did you gain? -- nm - Epiphany Nov 28, 11:24 6
- leftovers are at my brother's house, but I think they're probably gone. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 11:38
- still have half a pecan pie. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 11:34 1
  - oh, I want that. -- nm - amanda Nov 28, 11:54
- almost a full pie in our oven still ( storage), no turkey, no ham, some left over mashed potatoes - .5 lbs + -- nm - Epiphany Nov 28, 11:30
- There might be a bit of leftovers at my brother's still. There's also a turkey in my freezer for next weekend. - ty97 Nov 28, 11:26 1
  - sounds like fun -- nm - Epiphany Nov 28, 11:32
[deleted] 6
- great, thanks for "clarifying" - znufrii Nov 28, 11:26
- I am in favor of having my cake and I am in favor of eating my cake. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 11:25
- *berates you* -- nm - John Roberts Nov 28, 11:25
- I like having cake. I also enjoy eating it. (nm) - musubi Nov 28, 11:24
- ie, if it just rolls on in on its own. This is the same exact position they've had for the last 4 years. - Max Nov 28, 11:24 1
  - this reminds me of the futurama bit (which probably doesn't work in print) - Reagen Nov 28, 11:27
I hate the fat tub of goo (hi hyde), but any HOF ballot that doesn't include Clemens is nonsensical. (nm) - musubi Nov 28, 11:19 20
- right. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 11:22
- Mark McGwire is being punished and he admitted to taking creatine during his playing days. - David Nov 28, 11:21
- The problem is, the writers have already set a precedent. I'm curious to see how they justify Clemens and Bonds while continuing to - Jim Nov 28, 11:21 17
  - Both McGwire and Palmeiro were much more borderline cases than Bonds or Clemens, but overall I agree with you. - musubi Nov 28, 11:23 15
    - McGwire is #10 all time in OPS. He's ahead of Mickey Mantle. That's not what I call borderline. -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:29 8
      - That stat is....impacted by roiding balls to Kansas and having pitchers fear you for being able to roid a ball to Kansas - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:31 7
        
        That's the conversation. Why would Clemens get a pass for the cheating if McGwire, one of the 10 best power hitters ever, does not? -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:32 6
        
        He wouldn't for me...I'd put both out. I'd be more inclined for Bonds and Raffy to be in becuase their skillsets - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:37 5
        
        Just adding info to the conversation, McGwire told SI that he started using Creatine in 97. - David Nov 28, 11:40 3
        
        So, 87 to 96...he was all about the power, but his other contributions waned... - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:56 2
        
        His stats in 95 and 96 were 1.125 and 1.198. If he's not using until some point in mid-97, those are hard to explain. -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:58 1
        
        Honestly, the McGwire in 1995 was about miles bigger than 1992. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 12:00
        
        This -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 11:39
    - Palmeiro has the 3000 hits which, even if the power was fraudulent, still doesn't come easy. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:25
    - I would vote in Palmerio before I voted in McGwire -- nm - amoxy Nov 28, 11:25 4
      - Palmeiro's OPS was .888. McGwire's was .982. -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:30 3
        
        This another example of why OPS isn't even close to being a full measure of a player. - Inigo Nov 28, 11:44 2
        
        That's the beauty of stats. They take out the opinions and show the reality. - David Nov 28, 11:48 1
        
        Palmeiro leads McGwire in WAR, hits (almost double McGwire's), batting average, RBI, Runs, etc... - Inigo Nov 28, 12:02
  - Well, McGwire and Palmeiro are borderline to begin with. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 28, 11:22
only photo of the iceberg that sank the Titanic is up for auction -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 28, 11:17
This is the worst thing Lane Kiffin did at UT. - David Nov 28, 11:16 6
- isnt this just admitting your failure as a coach? -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 11:28 1
  - At a minimum, it's admitting a lack of creativity. -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:34
- To be fair, turning away the ACC POY is not far removed from cutting Rudy from ND's practice squad. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:28
- As an outside viewer, what are your thoughts on Monte Kiffin's insistance on using a cover 2 scheme against spread offenses. - musubi Nov 28, 11:22 1
  - I think that college rules have gone so far in favor of the offense that Nick Saban and John Chavis are the only two people in the world... - David Nov 28, 11:27
- You never saw his private toilet. -- nm - Mop (187 lbs) Nov 28, 11:20
speaking of puzzle type games. I came across one a while ago called Musaic Box where you piece together music fragments -- (link) - zork Nov 28, 11:16
How soon after getting a mortgage can one look into refinancing? -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 11:16 4
- The FBI starts a file on you if they catch you looking earlier than 3 years. -- nm - Max Nov 28, 11:17 1
  - even if you think about it actually. -- nm - amanda Nov 28, 11:24
- someone in my office did so about 3 months after closing on her mortgage. -- nm - Diva Nov 28, 11:16
- Same day! -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 11:16
And that means it's OK to jail asshole pot smokers. Which just seems fair. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 11:12 3
- In Eugene, if you're caught with a stolen bike, bolt cutters, weed and heroin, you get off with a citation. -- (link) - Mop (187 lbs) Nov 28, 11:19 2
  - I didn't know any town had a heroin lobby that powerful. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 28, 11:56
  - that's pretty specific. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 11:32
Vetoing trade in Fantasy Football is lame. - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:10 8
- Do you play three-card Monte with kids who just walked off the short bus, too? -- nm - David Nov 28, 11:17 5
  - I just wish I was in a FF league with Jeffrey Loria too -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 11:29 1
    - What I notice about Loria is that baseball is a MacGuffin for him. - David Nov 28, 11:31
  - I just wish I had a Redskins homer in Vampirates to trade Bob to. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:19 2
    - Kelly's your huckleberry. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 11:25 1
      - I'll be trading him or Matty Ice to the highest bidder in the offseason. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:27
- ... says the guy that is ripping the other guy's head off! -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 11:16 1
  - I've always felt this way. - Strongbad Nov 28, 11:17
It's a big brown one, it is! -- nm - Cockney Vermin Nov 28, 11:08
