from BB: i'll admit, i wondered if Rihanna did something to "set him off." but that doesn't mean i think anything she did would ever make it her fault - kare Feb 10, 09:52 6

  - oh totally. he's screwed. and i'm glad. no one should get away with that. -- nm - kare Feb 10, 09:58

UMD ended up with the 26th best recruiting class, I'll take that - MDH Feb 10, 09:37 3
- UT is still in on three big time recruits who haven't signed yet. God, I'm loving the Lane Kiffin era. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:46
- Did you see they announced a successor to Ralph? I'm not crazy about that trend, unless there is a very specific retirement date. - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:42 1
  - I thought it was at the latest 2012? At least that's when Ralph's contract ends. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 09:49

And with this, I am now... -- nm - oblique, seven, Seven, SEVEN! Feb 10, 09:25 22
- it should be "Oblique of Seven" or "Seven of Oblique" -- nm - Remlik Feb 10, 09:33 19
  - seven sucks. The Ocho was so much cooler. I'm going to have to think about this -- nm - oblique Feb 10, 09:34 18
    - I didn't know what Ocho meant; I thought you were going slightly mad so I didn't ask. -- nm - Loyola Feb 10, 09:52
    - It's more perfect than you probably know. "Ocho" reminds me of El Chavo del Ocho - con_carne Feb 10, 09:41 3
      - Fun Fact: Chespirito was also known for the character "El Chapulin Colorado", which I think is the basis for the bee man in the Simpsons -- (link) - con_carne Feb 10, 09:43 2

    - septiobliquium -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:34 10
      - btw, the boards should recognize our status as part of the 10 and give us special icons -- nm - oblique Feb 10, 09:36 6
        
        like a little icon of a hand with the thumb and forefinger forming an 'L' ? -- nm - decline Feb 10, 09:38 4
        
        I don't think we should even have stats. I get so embarassed when I look at mine. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 09:46 1
        
        This is part of the reason I haven't permalinked it on the left. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:47
        
        UPDATE slackertalk_userlist SET LFLAG=true WHERE userlogin = 'decline' -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:39
        
        exactly! -- nm - oblique Feb 10, 09:38
        
        The hit on the database to calculate that on every board load would be hilarious ... - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:37
      - septologist? -- nm - oblique Feb 10, 09:35 2
        
        deviated septum. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:36

My wife just told me that a co-worker of hers has a son who was picked up by the BoSox. Tim Federowicz. Catcher. Nice. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 09:18 4

- Catcher? CATCHER? Whaaaat? -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 09:19 1
  - Someone needs to challenge what's-his-face. -- nm - Shaun Feb 10, 09:32
- I will end him. -- nm - kelly si Feb 10, 09:19
I have to stop posting now. I'm about to overtake nubby and I will lose my title of The Ocho -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:16 14
- Where is this list? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 09:16 13
  - it's only been linked twice on this board already :P -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 09:19 4
    - and it's a permanent link on the left. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:21 3
      - Project info links to Bery's blog -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 09:22
      - I would have thought so, but I could not find it there -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 09:22
      - No, actually, it isn't - not yet. There's "Change Info", but that's different -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:21
  - here -- (link) - Jelly Feb 10, 09:18 7
    - And for Bery - I still think there's something weird with the average word counts. They seem pretty high to me. -- nm - Jelly Feb 10, 09:21 2
      - Yes, people have been commenting on that. The wordcount/awpp algorithm may have a bug. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:35 1
        
        I'll just post excessively long messages in the meantime to keep pace. :) - Jelly Feb 10, 09:44
    - SWEET! Wait--- You're f---ing me! I was sure I'd be #1! -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 09:19 3
      - Only 3000 posts to go! -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:20 1
        
        One. -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 09:25
      - Not a chance, dude. -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 09:20
*splurt* -- (link) - znufrii Feb 10, 09:15 3
- I click expecting a link to a swimsuit model or something and you like me to the Met schedule? -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:22 2
  - hey. - znufrii Feb 10, 09:24 1
    - You're the prime example of why JackDawson is not gay -- nm - oblique, seven, Seven, SEVEN! Feb 10, 09:26
I hate stories like this. Title suggests very old. First paragrah says 2000 years, following paragraphs cast doubt all the way to the 19th century -- (link) - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:14 1
- It's called Sensationalism. Welcome to Media 101. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:16

congrats, loosi, on breaking 10K :) -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:13 17

  - 100 posts per day! -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:20
  - ~33.3% fewer words than the 1st -- nm - Roger More Feb 10, 09:20 14
    - I'd expect the *creator* of the forum to have stats like that. -- nm - Shaun Feb 10, 09:21 13
      - Poor Bery will always have an asterisk next to his stats. - Roger More Feb 10, 09:26
      - Why does it bother you so much? -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 09:23 10
        
        It's funny. -- nm - Shaun Feb 10, 09:31 7
        
        You often shake your head when laughing? -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 09:33 6
        
        One could wonder why you care so much about Shaun, also. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 09:36 5
        
        Since this is the first time I've brought this up, and it's not the first time Shaun's brought this up, I think your point loses validity. - Inigo Feb 10, 09:40 1
        
        shakes head and laughs--it was a joke, dude. - Amy Feb 10, 09:47
        
        I'm electrifying is why. -- nm - Shaun Feb 10, 09:37
        
        mancrush. totally. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:37 1
        
        "manc rush" -- nm - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 10, 09:39
        
        Just pointing out an oddity. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:27
        
        it's an opportunity. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:25
      - I could flip a switch and get that status ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:22
So, unfortunately it looks like we'll have to find new daycare for Andrew. - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:02 29
- Sorry, man. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 09:35
- Oh that's awful. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 10, 09:17
- [deleted]
- Talk to the other kids (that he likes) parents. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:06
- It'll take a while for the kiddo to get used to a new place, and you'll have to make sure the new place is up to your standards, but really it's for - Qale Feb 10, 09:05 13
  - Yeah, if at least one of the other kids switches with him it seems like it would ease the transition. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:06 12
    - No, the fallback will likely be at our house with a friend of my wife's. - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:09 10
      - Will this change anything once baby #2 arrives? - kelly Feb 10, 09:14 6
        
        Well, didn't want to mention it, but that isn't happening anymore. - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:17 5
        
        Good luck. -- nm - Inigo Feb 10, 09:36

        good wishes going out -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 09:31
        
        sorry to hear that - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:18
        
        Oh, crap. - kelly Feb 10, 09:18
      - Ah. Well that is good, at least. - Spawn Feb 10, 09:10 2
        
        The current one is yes, been doing it for 20+ years. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:10
        
        (... she, meaning the druggie) -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:10
    - Well thankfully the tantrums and shyness and just overall annoyance the kid'll feel will only be temporary. -- nm - Qale Feb 10, 09:08
- Will you be seeking out the other parents to inform them of this situation? -- nm - Mop Feb 10, 09:04 4
  - Don't know. Haven't put much thought into it, but wouldn't know how to contact them. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:06 3
    - At least for one or two you can tell daycare you want to set up play dates with Andrew? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:09
    - Hold up a sign outside the daycare. DEATH TO ALL JUICE -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:08 1
      - APPLE JUICE JUST DIE!!! -- nm - Don Homer Feb 10, 09:18
- wow. are you going to talk to the other parents? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:04 5
  - huh, now there's a moral grey area. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 09:05 4
    - He probably can't mention the hospital visit but can mention the previous experience and say he's taking action. - Mop Feb 10, 09:06
    - it is? -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:06 2
      - sure, violating confidentiality vs. potential safety of the children in her care. -- nm - mafic Feb 10, 09:06 1
        
        Word...it could lead to bad things for the hospital AND the nurses (DH's wife included) involved. -- nm - Jim Feb 10, 09:09
Pooh! -- nm - lileve Feb 10, 09:02
An error occurred while processing this request. Really? Am I on HSX? -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 09:02 11
- It's been taking longer to build indexes lately, which causes a delay in creating new boards. - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:06 9
  - Are you saying we post too much? I blame JackDawson. Wordy and posty -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:10 8
    - No, I'm saying that MySQL is not Oracle. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 10, 09:12 1
      - RAMSAN! -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:12
    - Uh, check the stats. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:11 5

        By 27 posts! - Spawn Feb 10, 09:23 1
        
        careful -- nm - oblique, seven, Seven, SEVEN! Feb 10, 09:27
      - He's the wordiest and right in the middle for postiness. That's bad. More words take longer to index. -- nm - oblique, The Ocho Feb 10, 09:12 1
