- I see it! -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:12
- Linky -- (link) - Bacon May 21, 13:12 3
  - That's probably just rain in the background in picture 1. -- nm - ty97 May 21, 13:28 2
    - picture 1 looks a bit old -- nm - dogbert May 21, 13:32 1
      - meaning I agree that it probably isn't showing the tornado that hit -- nm - dogbert May 21, 13:33

- the spine candle -- nm - znufrii May 21, 13:19
- the first thing on page 2 is a "fat magnet" and we can't choose that? really? - dogbert May 21, 13:18 1
  - why would I want to attract more to, oh, nevermind. -- nm - b. May 21, 13:23
- probably the door mat, but i love the inflatable lounge if you had a big yard. -- nm - Andie May 21, 13:17
- The sorcerer's candle (shaped like a spine). -- nm - loosilu May 21, 13:14

- Xbox, I don't care to use anything from the previous Xbox -- nm - J May 21, 13:14 1

Atlanta is getting a downtown Ferris Wheel across from Olympic Park -- (link) - ty97 May 21, 13:02 1
- Oh good, that area seemed kind of sparse. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 13:04
more ebay bidders being dicks about not paying -- (link) - charlie May 21, 13:01
In the realm of "There, fixed it!" it's easy to overrate this particular item, but its simplicity underlies its genius -- (link) - prayformojo May 21, 12:58 1
- I like the "car window" installer with a deeply embedded sense of irony. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 13:01
Inhofe: Tornado aid �totally different� from Hurricane Sandy aid -- (link) - zeitgeist May 21, 12:49 10
- go on over to the Koch Brothers HQ and ask them to foot the bill - charlie May 21, 13:09
- Of course it is.. Sandy aid didn't benefit anyone he represents. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 13:01 5
  - No no no! it was the pork! he really did care about the east coast. he was against the pork! - Jovian May 21, 13:03 4
    - yeah, I love how roofs and roads are pork. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 13:06 3
      - They are when you tack them onto a bill for disaster relief and they have nothing to do with it. -- nm - spamlet May 21, 13:11 2
        
        i thought the roofs on the Smithsonian which were part of the Sandy Aid relief pkg had been damaged from the storm. -- nm - Diva May 21, 13:23 1
        
        There were rumors that some damage predated the storm. Smithsonian officials said there were small repairs already needed that the storm made worse. -- (link) - mara May 21, 13:27
- ie OK is a red state, NJ/CT/NY are not -- nm - Jovian May 21, 12:57
- it's apples and oranges, isn't it? the area affected is so much smaller. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 12:52
- That's pretty silly, considering we don't have a OK relief package to judge it against. -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 12:50
since it is ika talk day: 5 level 11 govs residences being built at this moment -- nm - dogbert May 21, 12:48 18
- that's a little rich for my blood .. i'm in the process of leveling up my 8th gov res to lvl 8 (9 towns total including the palace town) - i'm not dead yet ! May 21, 13:01
- How many warehouses does that take? I assume ambrosia is also needed? -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:52 2
  - nice nice very nice -- nm - peglegpete May 21, 12:59
  - I doubled my storage for the week. my last two I will have to build up warehouses for. will need level 40 dump and 4-level 40 warehouses -- nm - dogbert May 21, 12:55
- someone wants points apparently. - Mel Profit May 21, 12:51 8

        7k more pirate points just came in on dot.com -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 13:11 3
        
        Cool. Both MPCs landing again (big day) but should be able to hit you up on the way out the door. -- nm - WarMachine May 21, 13:14 2
        
        you're like our Pirate Points Pimp. -- nm - Diva May 21, 13:23 1
        
        ~Big pimpin', spendin' the cheese~ -- nm - WarMachine May 21, 13:25
- Nice!!!! Just did 7 level 10s and thought that was something! -- nm - WarMachine May 21, 12:51 2
  - I kind of had to since I need an mpc option without taking a corruption hit -- nm - dogbert May 21, 12:57 1
    - On .com I built up the taverns to compensate. Can have both MPCs out and still have zero drain of citizens. - Spawn May 21, 13:02
- that's a lot of wood (and everything else) -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 12:51
- wow. -- nm - Diva May 21, 12:49
The Clippers going after Phil Jackson is like the ump-teen NFL teams that went after Bill Cowher - Strongbad May 21, 12:45 20
- everyone close to the Lakers in the local media is convinced he would have returned last year if they had made him an offer -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:48
- not sure i agree. i think he does want to coach again, and the clips might be tempting... - x May 21, 12:48
- No, the LA angle is *huge*. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 12:46 17
  - Jeanie Bus has him tied to the Lakers. They are getting married, so I can't see him working for a rival -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:49 15
    - except he hates her brother and the GM -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:49 14
      - I get this part but I could only see him using another team for leverage. - Bacon May 21, 12:51 13
        
        And if they do *not* budge, he is a Clipper. See? -- nm - Spawn May 21, 12:53 10
        
        Strictly from a player standpoint the Clippers is the better job. But if you throw in owner operations the Lakers job is better -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:55 8
        
        the Lakers are going to be not very good for probably a not very short time -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:58
        
        I honestly can not see Phil *wanting* the Lakers now. - Spawn May 21, 12:56 6
        
        As a coach yes. As a rebuilding GM or Consultant it's a good job. - Bacon May 21, 12:58 5
        
        right. they have lots of options if they can convince kobe to take the amnesty... - x May 21, 13:00 4
        
        From what I have heard, that will not happen. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:03 3
        
        I think it depends on if they can keep Dwight. Lose him and you might as well blow it up -- nm - Bacon May 21, 13:04 2
        
        and that said, I think they are better off losing Dwight. I think big men with injuries only get worse over time. - Bacon May 21, 13:05 1
        
        If Phil had been coach, no way would Dwight have ever been there. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:27
        
        right, and i sort of think that's the crux. it might come down to whether jim buss will step down or get forced out by that leverage...nm - x May 21, 12:54
        
        Not sure how much insider information Magic Johnson has but he has hinted to this scenerio multiple times -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:51 1
        
        magic johnson tends to have more insider information that anyone in the nba, really....nm - x May 21, 12:52
  - We'll see. -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 12:48

  - Posited: Damn near every sport would be way more interesting if they ditched all the rules unrelated to player safety. -- nm - TWuG May 21, 13:02 1
    - four words too many -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 13:27
  - change "legal" to "mandatory" - prayformojo May 21, 12:50 4
    - also: players must play one hold per round with only 1 club -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 12:51 3
      - I honestly think I'd score about the same if all I had was a 5 and a putter. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 12:55 1
        
        I want to see a pro try to get out of a bunker like this. -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 12:57
      - See? Now *this* is golf I would watch! -- nm - prayformojo May 21, 12:52
  - Like Tin Cup at his US Open qualifier. -- nm - Diva May 21, 12:44
Speaking of earworms. I woke up today singing the Big Red Gum song this morning and I have no idea why. - Bacon May 21, 12:38 1
- Get your skis shined up, grab a stick of Juicy Fruit. The taste is gonna move ya. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 21, 12:44
Humide à l'aine?! Where di you find that? -- nm - Guigue May 21, 12:38 8
- oh, thank goodness. I thought I was being dumb. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 12:50
- google translate - I assume it makes no sense. I was translating "moist in the groin". -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 12:39 5
  - Mouhaha ok I get it! :) Yes "l'aine" is the groin, but we don't use it much outside of hockey players hurting themselves... We use... dirtier words... -- nm - Guigue May 21, 12:44 1
    - Just reading it, it basically sounded like french for "perineum", so I just went with it. heheh -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 13:23
  - alternatively, it may be the french translation of Sex Panther -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 12:39 2
    - Venom. With real snake venom. -- nm - Diva May 21, 12:40 1
      - And nothing else! -- nm - WarMachine May 21, 12:48

i don't care what they think. -- nm - Diva May 21, 12:37
truth, justice, and the american way -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:37 1
