I really want to go see Now You See Me this weekend....but between poor prospects for finding a babysitter and the fact that - prayformojo Jun 5, 08:16 1

So the ump in the Yankess/Cleveland game ejected a player last night *after the game was over*? -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 5, 08:15 7
- interesting. wouldn't have thought that was possible. -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:21 6
  - Francona was close to getting tossed as well. That ump had a bad night and deserved the tongue lashing. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:22 5
    - I used to love Francona coming out of the dugout. - Mel Profit Jun 5, 08:27 1
      - He looked like he was ready to fight the ump. He was pissed last night. - Krusty Jun 5, 08:32
    - Am I the only one that thinks a "tongue lashing" sounds like a fetish thing when they hear it? -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:24 2
      - Even if you ask nicely the answer is no. - Krusty Jun 5, 08:25
      - a rimjob by any other name... -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:24
Looking at Sherlock on Netflix - is each season really only 3 episodes long? -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 08:15 16
- yes but amazing. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:27
- If you get the first season DVD they also have the 60 minute pilot which wasn't broadcast. -- nm - LMS Jun 5, 08:25 1
  - WTF? I had no idea - I now must see this -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:26
- hee. it is fun to torment Sherlock fans over how few episodes there are. - loosilu Jun 5, 08:17 6
  - Well 2 more are in the can at present and they'll wrap the 3rd shortly so we're nearly up to 9. -- nm - LMS Jun 5, 08:19 3
    - we'll get them next year then - DaneDukeNuuk Jun 5, 08:27 1
      - Things like that are why people torrent things. The world is too small today to delay things still. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:33
    - Yay! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:20
  - How many? -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:18 1
    - Ah, never mind. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:18
- mop? -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:16
- [deleted]
- yup, but they're 90 minute episodes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:15 3
  - Ah, okay. Thanks! -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 08:19
  - Yup. As LMS pointed out to me, think of them as films. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:18 1
    - Yeah, it's really three movies per "season". -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Jun 5, 08:22

- Pot? Here in NYC? If it was Manhattan, I wonder if he wound up in The Tombs. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:16 1
  - Oh, he's on the DL and not with the team. I missed the part about Rocky River police too. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:18

- #17 is actually explained at some point. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Jun 5, 08:00
- #20 always bothers me. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord, koozie aficionado Jun 5, 07:58

- if your finances are so great install some air con that might helt -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jun 5, 08:10
- Pru's answer was basically "you're an idtiot." but I found this alternative answer on a blog. - loosilu Jun 5, 08:06 1
  - hee -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:46
- i think this is a prank letter. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 08:05
- People make me sad. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:03
- oh, *wow*... -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 07:59
- he will never agree, but sure, go and ask him, then imagine explaining the situation to your child when they are about 16. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 07:59
- *smh* *roll my eyes* *OFFS* - amoxy Jun 5, 07:58
- This makes no sense. How can he be a great dad if they keep his paternity a secret? -- nm - mara Jun 5, 07:58
- wtf? why keep the paternity a secret if he'd be a great dad? - amanda Jun 5, 07:57 5
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:14
  - I think she's gonna suggest to him to have two wives and two familes. -- nm - Inigo Jun 5, 07:58 3
    - *families* -- nm - Inigo Jun 5, 08:02
    - because he will be great at both. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 07:59
    - It actually sounds that way. What a maroon. -- nm - mara Jun 5, 07:59
This year for April Fool's someone pranked their friends by sending out Hogwarts acceptance letters. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 5, 07:49 5

Karl Malone lists his NBA All-Time Starting 5 on the radio this morning (Dan Patrick Show) - Strongbad Jun 5, 07:46 35
- So Pippen is better than MJ? Take off the cowboy hat, Karl. It's messed up your brain. -- nm - Inigo Jun 5, 07:53 14
  - Pippen and MJ didn't play the same position, did they? He's actually saying Oscar Robertson is better than MJ. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 07:58 9
    - MJ played mostly small foward, I thought. -- nm - Inigo Jun 5, 08:01 3
      - SG. His comeback was at SF. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:04
      - SG -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:03 1
        
        Pippen and Rodman were the PF and SF. Kukoc as well. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:04
    - No. MJ was a guard and Pippen was a forward. He's really taking LeBron over Jordan. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:00 4
      - Hmmm...Wilt at Center, Lebron at Poward Forward, Pippen at Small Forward, Oscar at Shooting Guard, Stockton at Point. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:01 3
        
        Magic at point, Oscar or Jordan at SG, Duncan at PF, Bird at SF and Kareem at C. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:08
        
        Wasn't MJ a shooting guard? -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:01 1
        
        A SG with the ability to bring up the ball and defend your best scorer, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:03
  - I think that was purely to jam MJ a bit. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 07:54 3
    - Pretty sure MJ knows what Carl thinks of him, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:55 1
      - And doesn't care one bit. He just flashes the rings and Karl can't say shit. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:56
    - It has to be. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 07:54
- i wouldn't put pippen in the top 5, but i think he generally gets a little underrated....nm - x Jun 5, 07:53 2
  - Yeah, MJ would have been nothing without him. Glad to see Carl recognizes who the true power was. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:54
  - I agree with this. He was content to let Jordan dominate but few could do what he did. -- nm - pmb Jun 5, 07:54
- L3! -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:51
- Haters gonna hate. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:50
- [deleted] 13
  - I would go Russell, Duncan, Bird, MJ, Magic... and I'm pretty sure I'd win. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 07:51 12
    - [deleted] 11
      - There's no way I can make a case for Stockton. He has 1 skill. That would be like having Carmelo on a Top 5 team. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 07:54 10
        
        Yup. Stockton and Pippen don't belong near that list. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:56 9
        
        i agree stockton shouldn't be on *that* list, but he clearly had more than one skill... - x Jun 5, 08:00 8
        
        Word. He's definitely on the short list of the best true point guards in NBA history. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:02
        
        Agreed. He was great and had mad skills. Maybe in my top 5 of PG's but not my #1. - Krusty Jun 5, 08:02 6
        
        I've always thought that any team would be in trouble if John Stockton was your best player/option - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:10 5
        
        Number one all time in steals AND assists. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:21
        
        dude, he was a steal machine. top 10 every year he played.he was the classic great defender who made up for being not so athletic by being smart....nm - x Jun 5, 08:18 1
        
        And he was a rather dirty player. One of the worst. - Krusty Jun 5, 08:20
        
        He was a great defender. His skills were more on the offensive end though. He is top five with Magic, Isiah, The Big O and I'd say either - Krusty Jun 5, 08:14
        
        Gotta consider who made the list though. Malone played almost his whole career with Stockton - Jim Jun 5, 08:12
- heh. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 07:47
ST, meet Gavin, the fish who wants to be in all the pictures. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 5, 07:43
Ice cream: Last ate gelato in Rome, along with many lactaid pills. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 5, 07:41 2
- I eat ice cream pretty much every night. The edy's slow churned low fat stuff is really good and not to high in calories for a daily thing. -- nm - pmb Jun 5, 07:53 1
  - Low fat ice cream that tastes good? Why do I doubt that. :-) - Krusty Jun 5, 07:58
LYC - i am growing to hate the Kazakstan Embassy. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 07:41 1

ST legal eagles - the property management company hired by our landlord sent the tenants a notice requiring a $95 lease renewal fee.. WTF? - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:32 10
- forward it to your landlord -- nm - decline Jun 5, 07:36 2
  - Unless it goes to court, that's confidential information. We don't know who the owners are. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:37 1
    - convenient, isn't it. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:37
- If it is not in the original lease, I agree. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:34 6
  - Not there. And this is not an apartment complex. We live in a private residence who's owner contracted with the PM to service the rental. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:36 5
    - If it were me, I would look around for something that "Never really bothered us, but think maybe this needs fixed and will cost at least $95" - Spawn Jun 5, 07:42 4
      - Thanks! -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:45 3
        
        Granted, the repair would be paid by the owner so it does not "hurt" the management company, so it may not be good for leverage. - Spawn Jun 5, 07:49 2
        
        MrsCY used to do PM for a bank here in California and she's never heard of such a thing. They offer a service for owners and their costs should be - CrankYanker Jun 5, 07:52 1
        
        Heh. I know! - Spawn Jun 5, 07:53
poll: do you say sprinkles or jimmies? - amanda Jun 5, 07:28 28
- What are Jimmies?? -- nm - Jovian Jun 5, 07:57 2
  - *unzips* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 08:01 1
    - Hence my response. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:03
- Sprinkles. Those things would be no help stealing a car. -- nm - Max Jun 5, 07:57
- Sprinkles. You get kicked in the jimmies, you don't eat them. - TWuG Jun 5, 07:53
- sprinkles. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 07:42
- grew up saying jimmies (massachusetts), now say sprinkles or no one understands. -- nm - loosilu Jun 5, 07:41
- belindas -- nm - mud Jun 5, 07:40
- Sprinkles -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 5, 07:40
- Jimmies. -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 07:38
- Sprinkles. Never heard of jimmies until The Simpsons. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:35
- Sprinkles -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 07:33
- Sprinkles -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 07:32
- sprinkles, of course. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 07:30 5
  - *kicks you in the jimmies* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 07:35 4
    - You couldn't get your foot up high enough to reach my jimmies, gramps! -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 07:40 2
      - at least my dad did not run me over to injure me. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 07:44
      - He'd fall over trying. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 07:44
    - [deleted]
- sprinkles -- nm - decline Jun 5, 07:30
- What now? -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 07:29
- This poll is specifically designed to rustle jimmies isn't it? -- nm - Qale Jun 5, 07:29 3
  - I miss my dear old uncle Russell Jimmy -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 07:32 2
    - (Is this a Raising Hope quote? Because it could be.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 5, 07:34 1
      - Nope, it's a certified pfm original, baby -- nm - prayformojo Jun 5, 07:36
- sprinkles -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 07:29
