The person in front of me at the drive thru is asking what is good at Subway. - David, Halo Legend Apr 26, 09:41 7
- People like this at drive thrus are my pet peeve. Also, a drive thru at Subways? -- nm - Mop on Chrome on iPad Apr 26, 09:47
- (Subway has a drive through?) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 26, 09:44
- "Nothing." -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 09:44
- "Okay, I want pepper jack." "Drive around" "Tomatoes." "Drive around" "Pickles." "Drive around"... -- nm - drive-thru at Subway Apr 26, 09:43
- I would have no idea what is good at Subway. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:42
- you should yell "nothing" -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 09:42
- Are they 16? They might think they're being funny. -- nm - spamlet Apr 26, 09:42
There was an explosion in Victoria today, heard over almost the entire city. Completely innocuous, thankfully. - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:40 [Image] 3
- It blew the steel door of the shipping container about a half block away. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:40 2
  - wow. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 09:41 1
    - Here's where the door landed (you can see the shipping container, or a similarly-located one, in the background) -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:44
OMG. Have we seen ... bubble football? -- (link) - loosilu Apr 26, 09:24 [youtube] 2
- Start the Draft!! - pmb Apr 26, 09:31
- *takes notes* -- nm - Roger Goddell Apr 26, 09:25

- Whoo! -- nm - Shaun Apr 26, 09:34 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Fuck you and your 3 1st rounders!!!! -- nm - Shaun Apr 26, 09:35 1
      - [deleted]
- Thank you sir (LET ME OFF THE FUCKING PHONE). Yes sir (LIKE, RIGHT NOW). -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 09:29
- awesome, but damn did they keep him on the phone a long time. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:27
Soooo.... the difficult topic floating around the Canadian political world today is about the Rehtaeh Parsons case. (Longish) - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:17 25
- Unfortunately #2. - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 09:25
- with regards to 3 - Reagen Apr 26, 09:20 23
  - I think it's more of a spectrum argument than that though. One can still have consensual sex after consuming some drinks. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:26 22
    - for drinking i think there is a line, if you can't no-one when to stop, you don't start. sex doesn't work the same way. - Andie Apr 26, 09:37 3
      - "no-one" should be "no when". -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 09:37 2
        
        *know when* - Andie Apr 26, 09:38 1
        
        All right, you're cut off. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, bartender Apr 26, 09:38
    - It still winds up as victim blaming, to me. - Reagen Apr 26, 09:30 17
      - Okay, ignoring that last aspect because it muddies the waters, I still don't know what you do in this case. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:33 13
        
        Without having seen the evidence, I have no idea whether or not they can be convicted of something. What I do feel confident of is that these are kids - Reagen Apr 26, 09:38 12
        
        It sounds like there isn't any evidence to see. Where does your confidence come from? - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 09:41 11
        
        they themselves seem to be saying that *something* happened with the drunk girl, and they then slut-shamed her into suicide. - Reagen Apr 26, 09:44 4
        
        But were the boys not also *drunk 15-year-olds*? - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 09:50
        
        To be fair, your "these are not the actions of good people" would have likely convicted half my high school of being immoral. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:49 2
        
        I have high standards, yes. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:50 1
        
        I really like this post - wish more parents did - maybe their kids would too? -- nm - JenBro Apr 26, 12:30
        
        i can agree that what they did was immoral. - Andie Apr 26, 09:43 5
        
        It's not the lack of "No" that's at issue. If we believe the police, the witness suggests she was willing and encouraging. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:45 4
        
        right, which is why we are differentiating between Immoral and Illegal. - Andie Apr 26, 09:46 2
        
        That somewhat presupposes that the boys were sober enough to make the rational choice as well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:50 1
        
        we don't excuse other crimes because you were drunk at the time. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:53
        
        one can regret getting so drunk as to put oneself in such a position without making your actions consensual. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:46
      - It also works without the comma. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:32 2
        
        I thought about that after. But no need to get so specific. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:33 1
        
        heheheh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:38
Jim, is this going to be your son's first pre-release? They're a ton of fun. -- nm - timPhone Apr 26, 09:16 3
- Second. He did the last one as well. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 09:17 2
  - Oh nice, this one is going to be a little trickier in terms of deck building but I think he's got enough understanding of the game so he'll be fine. -- nm - timPhone Apr 26, 09:19 1
    - I think he does. I don't understand a word he says, so he must understand something. :) -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 09:21
STIS: When does Round 2 start? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 09:15 2
- 6:30 -- nm - decline Apr 26, 09:17 1
  - Graci -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 09:18
LYC: I'm going to a playoff lacrosse game on Sunday. I wonder how many broken arms there will be. - zork Apr 26, 09:14 8
- on another note, it works in lacrosse, so I wonder if putting in a shot clock would be good for hockey. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:34 1
  - there's a natural shot clock in hockey called "getting knocked the fuck off the puck" - Reagen Apr 26, 09:40
- and I love how people keep going on about there being playoff games in this city for the first time in nine years. - zork Apr 26, 09:28
- they laugh at hockey and their silly "slashing" and "cross-checking" penalties. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:15 4
  - lacrosse has slashing and cross checking too. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:16 3
    - in hockey, those get you two minutes in the box. in lacrosse, those get you high-fives from the refs. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:22 2
      - naw, you go to the penalty area too if it's severe. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:25 1
        
        exactly. if it's severe. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:32
soccer is probably the perfect sport, in terms of low start-up costs. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 09:04 25
- And ties! We have ties! -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 09:09
- and still boring as fuck. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:06 21
  - People often fear what they don't understand. Fear leads to hatred. Hatred leads to the dark side. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:10 20
    - *nods* -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 09:12
    - Hockey and Soccer are basically the same game. - groiny Apr 26, 09:10 18
      - Hockey, soccer, and basketball, really. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 09:24
      - and polo is basically hockey/soccer on horseback. - mafic Apr 26, 09:17 12
        
        And cricket is basically baseball. -- nm - Shaun Apr 26, 09:18 11
        
        I can never decide if cricket is the more, or less boring version. -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:19 9
        
        I really like the 20/20 format. I think that's a big step for the game. - spamlet Apr 26, 09:22 7
        
        One of the sports channels up here actually shows Indian Premiership Cricket in this format. I love baseball, but can't wrap my head around cricket. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:36 5
        
        Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket! -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 09:40 3
        
        I feel I could pick up cricket readily enough, rugby on the other hand is completely mystifying. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 09:41 2
        
        it's a lot like footb.... - spamlet Apr 26, 09:42 1
        
        i am saddened to that no one seems to have gotten the quote reference. - tRuMaN Apr 26, 09:42
        
        I watched a bunch in Australia last year over a week. Pull up the wikipedia page for the rules while you watch, it helps a lot. - spamlet Apr 26, 09:40
        
        yeah, 20/20 is pretty good. I kind of consider test cricket like a playoff series (and it's 5 days). -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:24
        
        what does Derek Jeter think? -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:20
        
        and you thought a baseball game took a long time? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:19
      - hockey is more boring to me when on t.v. Live hockey is great and live EPL is great too. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:13 2
        
        went to the TFC game on Saturday and it was pretty good. - zork Apr 26, 09:16
        
        sly and the family stone, my man. sly and the family stone -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:14
      - pace of play/short attention span -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 09:12
- it's pretty much the reason why it's the world's sport. A field and a ball. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:05 1
  - field optional -- nm - Beryllium Apr 26, 09:26
I thought all the young hockey players in canada went to those molestation camps? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 08:59 27
- You have that confused with the Boy Scouts. -- nm - Shaun Apr 26, 09:01 26
  - Or the church. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 09:15
  - no, he's got it right. -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:02
  - wasn't it Theo Fleury who went to that camp with that coach that diddled everyone? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:01 23
    - not a camp, he was the coach of a major junior team. - Reagen Apr 26, 09:04 16
      - It was him and Kennedy right? -- nm - spamlet Apr 26, 09:10 13
        
        Yes. I see now there was actually a third player - Reagen Apr 26, 09:11 12
        
        I think we can make the assumption that there are more that did not come forward. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:12 11
        
        it's a weird brush to tar the sport with for exactly zero evidence. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:14 10
        
        Hi, you must be new here. -- nm - spamlet Apr 26, 09:23
        
        the amount of kids that go through that league, to think that a coach only did this to 3 kids? - groiny Apr 26, 09:15 8
        
        it's certainly possible, maybe even probable. - Reagen Apr 26, 09:21 7
        
        well, you knew exactly what I was referring to when I said it though? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:22 6
        
        because there is basically *one* known incidence of it, it isn't hard to figure out. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 09:24
        
        once you said Theo Fleury, yes. - Reagen Apr 26, 09:24 4
        
        well, if my facts are inaccurate, I apologize. - groiny Apr 26, 09:28 3
        
        "1997, James pleaded guilty to 350 sexual assaults against the two players, and was sentenced to three and a half years in jail." - groiny Apr 26, 09:33 1
        
        he was a monster, without a doubt. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:44
        
        you may have been hearing about the maple leaf gardens stuff where a worker there was molesting fan boys -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:30
      - hmmm, it has been a while, but I was under the impression it was pretty widespread. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:07 1
        
        I think we all know what "puck" rhymes with. Case closed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 26, 09:37
    - Also, there was the Blues player...Danton, I think, that had his coach/molestor murdered. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 09:03 4
      - it was his agent - but I don't remember any allegations of molestation. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:05 3
        
        Supposedly he molested Danton's younger brother. He was acquitted of several molestation charges a few years ago. - Jim Apr 26, 09:10 2
        
        that story's never really been clear - Danton himself says he was trying to kill his dad. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:12 1
        
        Yeah...it was quite a mess. Plus prison phone calls with Frost making Danton tell him he loves him. Just weird creepy shit. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 09:18
    - and the added a ton of new charges on the guy already convicted of molesting kids at Maple Leaf Gardens -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:02
Miltary Channel's What gun are you? Take the quiz and find out -- (link) - CQ Apr 26, 08:58 19
- I'm a Ruger .380 - purple and black - Epiphany Apr 26, 09:24
- M2 Browning. Like the Ma Deuce you don't do anything halfway. Whether it is work or play you put in 110% and lay it on heavy. Just ease up a little - GregW Apr 26, 09:14 1
  - same here -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 26, 09:20
- AK-47. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:09 3
  - You and tru are our outhouse techs. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 09:13 2
    - which will come in handy since you are so full of shit. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 26, 09:16 1
      - You missed a spot. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 09:22
- ak-47 - tRuMaN Apr 26, 09:09 1
  - Me too -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 09:17
- M2 Browning -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 09:05
- except I'm an M2 Browning. -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:04
- I'm a...McMillan TAC-50 - Mel Profit Apr 26, 09:02 3
  - Yep. -- nm - amoxy Apr 26, 09:06
  - yep -- nm - decline Apr 26, 09:04
  - ditto -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 09:02
- McMillan TAC-50 - Spawn Apr 26, 09:02
- McMillan TAC-50 Although you don't like the spotlight you will however act in the face of buffoonery. -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 09:01
- everyone's an AR15. -- nm - NRA Apr 26, 09:01
- lol@#6 -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 09:00
mafic, yeah, that's a good point. I completely forgot about those (I even covered one here *headsmack*) -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 08:55 1
- home of the hounds! -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 08:56
Now, here's all of Mariano's primary pitches in one. -- (link) - Krusty Apr 26, 08:55 [Image]
#29 freaks my shit out. nm - Dignan Apr 26, 08:53 4
- I think I want that more than #15... - Mel Profit Apr 26, 08:54 3
  - I want to do #11 -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 08:58 1
    - Okay, is this a kama surta thread? -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 08:59
  - So many of these must have incredible stories. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Apr 26, 08:58
Both high schools here have hockey teams (gals and gals iirc) but there are also many more teams in the same age bracket organized via the FYHA. - Shaun Apr 26, 08:53 1
- yeah I have friends who pretty much have a kid at a game or a practice 6 days out of 7. Crazy. -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 08:56
I have a flock of friends with kids in the "Just getting their kids started in hockey" age-range and they already complain about.... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 08:53 10
- Oh yeah. we have friends that spend 6-7 hours per week at the rink. - spamlet Apr 26, 09:03
- it is like that with any sport, really. - groiny Apr 26, 09:03
- and rink time is a big cost, not just equipment. Also, ... - zork Apr 26, 09:00 6
  - If only that one Japanese father had been more supportive! -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 09:01 5
    - see, I always thought chinese. -- nm - mafic Apr 26, 09:15
    - you don't agree with my point on B2? -- nm - zork Apr 26, 09:13 2
      - Which one? (I'm just making a joke) - Reagen Apr 26, 09:14 1
        
        ah yes. I had thought it was a double duty post - zork Apr 26, 09:19
    - He was supportive! Hockey card and all! Stop judging their culture. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 09:03
- missed this, but I agreed with my post above. ALOT of travelling around too -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 08:57
Jalen Rose's advice for yesterday's draft class: -- (link) - Beaker Apr 26, 08:52 2
- the thing I say all the time is... - Mel Profit Apr 26, 09:10
- (and they all make perfect sense, short, to the point and should be required reading for all draftees) -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 08:55
Yet another reason why Tilda Swinton is awesome. -- (link) - LMS Apr 26, 08:52 3
- I kind of love her. - Mel Profit Apr 26, 08:59

  - sorry, must have missed it at the time. - znufrii Apr 26, 08:57
Word. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 08:50
