    - [deleted] 3
      - Yeah, it really is location dependent. WHen they are good they can be really good, but other places it tastes like they nuked store bought frozen. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:46 2
        
        I wouldn't know because I'd never eat the disgusting crap. Why ruin perfectly good fries by dousing them with cheese? - CQ Jan 30, 08:53 1
        
        We are talking cheese sticks here, but ketchup is for children or the weak of mind. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:54

NY to scrap "Don't Honk" signs -- (link) - Beaker Jan 30, 08:32 28

  - I helped my sister steal an A1A sign in Florida once. - Spawn Jan 30, 08:41 4
    - If your name is on it you have to have some rights to it. - Krusty Jan 30, 08:43 3
      - And as I said, our grandpa was street commish for a while and named the street after them, so the right was even greater! -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:44 2
        
        was there a Spawn Street? -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:50 1
        
        Sadly, I was not born until he was out of office. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:51
  - [deleted]
  - I don't know if they have station signs, but you can get rollsigns from the MTA surplus store now -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 08:39 11
    - Buy them? What's the fun in that? ;-) - Krusty Jan 30, 08:41 10
      - Hey Krusty, remember that night we got drunk and bought that station sign? - Spawn Jan 30, 08:43 1
        
        [deleted]
      - they do have station signs as well... -- (link) - znufrii Jan 30, 08:42 7
        
        They charge so much I might think about going back to stealing signs. $400 bucks for a B/Q to Coney Island sign. Damn! - Krusty Jan 30, 08:52 1
        
        Tots cray-cray. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:53
        
        Roger More needs to look at the available station signs, just sayin. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:52
        
        I forget which Woddy Allen film it is where he has a sign from a stop in Chinatown on his wall above his bed but I loved it and immediately wanted it - Krusty Jan 30, 08:45 3
        
        pretty funny considering what happened with his adopted daughter -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:48 1
        
        the one who isn't from China? -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:57
        
        Also. I could spend all of the money I don't have on things from the MTA. Trains rule! - Krusty Jan 30, 08:47
- i *hate* honking. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 08:36 5
  - I hate noise. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:38
  - (we need the cute little beep-beep horns that europe has. north american horns sound aggressive.) -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 08:37 3
    - this makes me think of the scene in the (original) Pink Panther with the guys in gorilla suits driving around in little cars, beeping at each other - zork Jan 30, 08:46 2
      - it is here, we bought them all the time for film shoots. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 08:48 1
        
        good to know, although I *never* drink coffee but it could be a good thing when organising things. -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:58
- But they were so effective! -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 08:35 1
  - Eh, fines will remain in place. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:36
- HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK! -- nm - Earl the Car Jan 30, 08:35
Last week: 15-year-old Chicago girl performs in Inauguration. This week: Shot and killed. -- (link) - ty97 Jan 30, 08:26 3

- whoa -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 08:29
- holy shit. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:26
My thought -- let's say he is healthy enough to play. If the Yanks cut him somehow and he's free to whatever happens - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:16 6
- Collusion wouldn't fly since he has had hip surgery. Free agents in those situations frequently have to earn their way back to the majors. - David Jan 30, 08:21 3
  - They sign bargain basement contracts with incentives...but they do get signed. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:24 2
    - No, most do not. Kris Benson has been making a comeback for about 6 years now, as an example. - David Jan 30, 08:28 1
      - At a minimum level contract....there should be 29 teams in the bidding. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:29
- [deleted] 1
  - Stay Strong! -- nm - Lance Jan 30, 08:20
Country Rap. Oh boy. If you ever find yourself time traveling to the late 80s/early 90s, bring some samples. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:13 3
- I'm firmly believe that electro-country is an enhance interrogation technique that became self-aware and escaped from the lab. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:21
- Duh ha ha ha. Duh ha ha hahaha. -- nm - Rappin' Duke Jan 30, 08:20 1
  - Duke Hoss. Duke Hoss, Bitch. -- nm - Country Rammstein Jan 30, 08:38
Today's GDP report in one simple graph -- (link) - ty97 Jan 30, 08:13
Must be strong, Must be strong...Somebody brought donuts in this morning - amoxy Jan 30, 08:12 11
- In the time I wasted on that stupid Vine link, I saw 2 different people eat donuts. - Spawn Jan 30, 08:14 10
  - I'm going to make a Vine post of me teabagging Bacon in Halo -- nm - oblique [220] Jan 30, 08:15 9
    - Okay, that I would watch. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:16 8
      - btw, that was fun last night with you and truman. I could really tell my reaction times were dropping as we went on. The other day when I played - oblique [220] Jan 30, 08:22 7
        
        Agreed. Looking at my stats. 10k from level 110. 25 heads hots from 20k experience. - Spawn Jan 30, 08:24 6
        
        I just need the 5 wins and a handful of those combat medals and I'm going to pull in 30k. That'll jump me to 60 or if I reach it before that - oblique [220] Jan 30, 08:29 5
        
        Nice. I love Fridays with the group but really do enjoy team slayer or swat. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:31 4
        
        I need to find my role in big team. I still think I'm too much of a detriment to the team score - oblique [220] Jan 30, 08:38 3
        
        I've realized that I can just drop the mouse and pick up the controller when I jump in a vehicle. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 08:43 1
        
        This is what I do for the ghost and banshee and it works well. It does *not* work for turrets as my sensitivity is set to Insane - oblique [220] Jan 30, 08:44

- Sigh -- (link) - Krusty Jan 30, 08:19 [youtube] 11
  - If you look closely, you can see the HGH in his pores. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:26 2
    - Do make me start posting video from the 90s playoffs. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 08:39 1
      - Don't worry, we all know that Maier was a cheat. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:41
  - [deleted] 1
    - Ha. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 08:24
  - [deleted] 5
    - :-) You guys want to meet in the playoffs again? - Krusty Jan 30, 08:23 4
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Oops, forgot you guys aren't looking so good right now. - Krusty Jan 30, 08:33 1

      - Have you seen the Twins the last 2 years...they'd kill puppies for a 3 and out in the ALDS. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:25
Decline got it (ML too). India -- (link) - ty97 Jan 30, 08:12 6
- Philippines #3, China #4, Vietnam #5. NEVER would have guessed 3 or 5. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 08:18 2
  - Populous, poor, cultural ties, lots of English speakers (in the case of the Philippines) - Roger More Jan 30, 08:33
  - #3 i should have known, as a lot of nurses and medical people are being brought in from there. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 30, 08:23
- ~looks around NJ~ yep, makes sense. -- nm - decline Jan 30, 08:13 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - heh. I've noticed that exact same thing too. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 08:21
[deleted] 18
- What are the odds of something like this repeating in the next 20 years? - David Jan 30, 08:13 17
  - I'm not sure why you think they have to help out. The Yanks aren't blinded by all this; they had a lot of players using in the past - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:20 7
    - They have to help out because every ARod story takes the focus away from the positives of MLB. - David Jan 30, 08:23 6
      - And bailing them out does that even more. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 08:46
      - He's been a jackass for years -- yesterday all that changed was basically the biggest fraud in recent history was shown to be an even bigger fraud. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:28 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Exactly....all this does is make those fans more lively; which unless they cross the line - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:36
        
        Yesterday, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And MLB is now facing 5 more years of this if they don't make it go away. - David Jan 30, 08:31 1
        
        If he had benefit of the doubt after admitting he cheated himself, that person and Manti need to be hooked up for the uber-Stacy. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 08:34
  - Maybe Selig has been doping this whole time -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:14 1
    - Performance decreasing steroids? - David Jan 30, 08:16
  - [deleted] 6
    - On a sidenote, the power of MLBPA *has* to be reduced. It's crazy that a player can get an 8+ year guaranteed contract with virtually no out clauses. -- nm - David Jan 30, 08:19 4
      - Plus, no salary caps. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:21 3
        
        Which is yet another reason that the Yankees should be forced to eat the contract. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 08:34 2
        
        This stuff is honestly a chunk of why I don't care for baseball. - Spawn Jan 30, 08:38
        
        [deleted]
    - agreed. There is no way they throw A-Rod under the bus for fear what might be coming next and them setting the precedent -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 08:16
*dances* -- nm - WarMachine Jan 30, 08:10
