- why is he living in Florida in the 1st place? - Epiphany Nov 30, 10:57 10
  - he's got a huge house down there -- nm - decline Nov 30, 10:58
  - If you can, why not? No state income tax, beautiful weather.... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 10:57 8
    - If by "beautiful" you mean "unbearably fucking humid and nasty", then yes, Florida weather is beautiful. -- nm - kelly Nov 30, 11:15
    - I *want* to live there - but Christian Slater is an actor - NYC or LA? I just seems *odd* - Epiphany Nov 30, 10:59 3

- Regardless of who wins I take either one by two scores over ND. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 11:09
- If it's A game vs. A game, I'll take Georgia. They need to play well, but they have as many pros easily and the best player for either side in Jones. -- nm - volnelk Nov 30, 10:58 1
  - that's part of the problem.....I wouldn't trust Richt to win a big game in his life -- nm - prayformojo Nov 30, 11:06
- I do, only in the hope that if GA wins, ND has a chance.....Bama's too experienced and Saban will torch the Irish -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 10:57
- I'd pick Bama but I do think they're vulnerable. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 30, 10:49 2
  - Yep. Neither outcome would surprise me. -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 10:57

    - For Walden....interesting. he's broken. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 10:42 12
      - Walden was an All-Star closer in 2011. - David Nov 30, 10:55 10

        They are dealing from a Position of strength in order to free up money for a LF. - David Nov 30, 11:11 3

        O'Flaherty, who was better than Venters the last two years. - David Nov 30, 11:17 1
        
        Yeah, him. Eff him in the ear. - musubi Nov 30, 11:20
        
        To be fair, I don't see a whole lot of glaring weakness on that team. LF maybe? - musubi Nov 30, 11:05 4
        
        Come on down, Justin Upton! - David Nov 30, 11:15
        
        Come on down, Justin Upton! - David Nov 30, 11:13 2
        
        I don't believe you have the chits to get The Good Upton anymore, not without opening up holes elsewhere. - musubi Nov 30, 11:15 1
        
        We still have five guys who will comprise the best rotation at AAA. - David Nov 30, 11:19
      - Too many starters. -- nm - nubby Nov 30, 10:48

  - I also like "Your in America". -- nm - nubby Nov 30, 11:12
  - oh. ha! okay, thanks. -- nm - kelly Nov 30, 11:01
- I hadn't heard of it until just now, but I love this: "I'm not racist but I despise gay people" - ty97 Nov 30, 10:29 2
  - Eh, he didn't retweet with a "yes you are" -- nm - Roger More Nov 30, 10:44 1
    - I didn't mean the re-tweeter, I meant the original tweeter -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 10:46
- Twitter, please. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 10:27
heh, in case you were wonder, yes, Nicholas Sparks movie poster ARE all pretty much the same: -- (link) - Andie Nov 30, 10:26 2

    - It will never come into being if that helps. - spamlet Nov 30, 10:40 5

        Do you not have Ameristar casinos by you? -- (link) - spamlet Nov 30, 10:47 [youtube] 2
        
        Oh, *my*... -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 10:49 1
        
        There's a whole series of them. A bunch of people around here were quadricorns for Halloween. -- nm - spamlet Nov 30, 10:50
      - I really just skimmed it though. I've saved it for later reading. -- nm - spamlet Nov 30, 10:42
    - from what I can tell, it combines a flat tax on business cash flow (minus investment expenditures) with a progressive tax on wage incomes - znufrii Nov 30, 10:39 2
      - Basically, they start with a VAT base. The VAT is a consumption tax. Therefore, this is a consumption tax. - spamlet Nov 30, 10:41 1
        
        gotcha. thanks. -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 10:44

True TSP story; we moved into a house that had been abandoned for a decade, and had mold on the walls. We sprayed a combination of TSP and bleach - landbeck Nov 30, 09:53 3
- What is TSP? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 10:10 2

    - Thanks. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 10:40
FWIW, I think Rihanna is just as fucked as Lindsay, but Rihanna hides it better. -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 09:52 18
- She's not hiding it very well. -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 11:09

- Being in a profession that actually rewards it, helps. -- nm - Spawn Nov 30, 10:00
- Poor girls. -- nm - David Nov 30, 09:54
- of course, that's a gut feel so there's no way to prove it -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 09:52 13
  - I just never understand why a woman would go back to a man that puts you in the hospital. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 09:54 12
    - Because she's just as fucked up as he is. She probably saw this same behavior from her parents and it's been beaten into her that that's what love is. -- nm - Ender Nov 30, 10:23
    - Thank daddy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 10:18
    - I'm more concerned by all of the female Chris Brown defenders - ty97 Nov 30, 09:59 7
      - me too. -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 11:09
      - "There's a reason to hit everybody. Just don't do it." - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 10:44 1
        
        Yeah, I don't at all doubt that she gets pretty darn fighty herself, but that doesn't make things ok. -- nm - Ender Nov 30, 10:54
      - suck a dick, hater. nm - team breezy Nov 30, 10:30 1
        
        With pleasure, as long as it's not yours. -- nm - ty97 Nov 30, 10:35
      - this stuff drives me crazy. -- nm - Andie Nov 30, 10:24 1
        
        It frustrates the crap out of me because I have no idea who to counteract it. - ty97 Nov 30, 10:34
    - Breaks my heart. Ike Turner once said that once you punch a woman, you own her. - David Nov 30, 09:56 1
      - wow. -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 11:10
Jax, you are clearly doing something wrong then. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 09:50 5
- If I'm transforming into looking more like you, then yes. Yes I am. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 09:53 4
  - would you rather her make love to me using your name, or make love to you using my name? - groiny Nov 30, 09:55 3
    - Neither? - JaxSean Nov 30, 10:00 2
      - I will call it whatever she wants me to, to close the deal. - groiny Nov 30, 10:01 1
        
        going to? I pulled all my hair out with that imagery. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 10:04
My deal with the University of Tennessee to become their new head football coach is immenant. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:47 15
- Jimbo? -- nm - David Nov 30, 09:49 11
  - PS- Mr SEC fan guy, there's no chance Kirby Smart leaves Alabama except for a HC position at a powerhouse, right? (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:53 7
    - I would say the chance is small. - David Nov 30, 09:55 6
      - Yeah. I saw some 'SC fans clamoring for Smart as the new DC, but that seems like a lateral move for him - musubi Nov 30, 09:56 5
        
        Yeah, there's no way he leaves for another DC gig. He probably gets a coaching job if he wants one this year. -- nm - David Nov 30, 09:58 4
        
        The arguement (which I don't buy) is the Smart would be lining himself up to take over when Kiffin is inevitably be fired. - musubi Nov 30, 10:03 3
        
        The problem with this is... - David Nov 30, 10:05 2
        
        While I mostly agree with you, I think Kiffin's regression to his wacky behavior this year puts his job in jeopardy - musubi Nov 30, 10:10 1
        
        And yes, I realize I am letting my analysis be colored by the fact that I'd love to see Smart become the DC. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 10:11
  - Mom? (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:50 2
    - Alas, I am probably more disappointed in you than even her. -- nm - David Nov 30, 09:54 1
      - It's impossible for you not to be. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:54
- And yes, upon re-reading, I realize I misspelled imminent. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:48 2
  - On the plus side, this puts me well qualified to be a student in an SEC school, so this could improve my prospects. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:49
  - He's perfect! -- nm - UT Nov 30, 09:49
Bury me at sea where no murdered ghosts can haunt me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 30, 09:47 1
