      - I don't think she has the face for MJ -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:49
- They wish. -- nm - David Jun 19, 15:41
- she was my original thought, but there is no way they land her for that role. so i couldnt even annoy you with that proposal - Jovian Jun 19, 15:32

A retired lady I helped with a computer issue a few years ago just reached out for help with a new computer install. - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:07 8
- Why so mean, bro? -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 15:21
- What's the squirt doing? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 19, 15:19 3
  - A couple nights ago he helped me hook up my old Windows XP machine ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:28 2
    - He could probably use some pocket change. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 19, 15:29 1
      - He might try to eat it. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:32
- refer a friend who has the time & skills -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 15:12 2

Question for the Commish. The order posted below for Vampirates is the order of rank after the playoffs. I thought order was decided on - Bacon Jun 19, 15:03 13
- Draft order should be posted on the BOP board. I recall SB did it. -- nm - David Jun 19, 15:07 11
  - I think it's wrong though. My understanding was regular season record. -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:09 8
    - Post-season performance factors in. Look at SB's post - he explains it. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 19, 15:37 7
      - I saw that. We had a person bench his entire team in the playoffs and I was told it wouldn't matter. But now it does matter as he gets a better spot - Bacon Jun 19, 15:39 6
        
        No, it doesn't matter. - David Jun 19, 15:40 1
        
        Okay, now I see that. So the first loss is the slot you get. Any other losses doesn't factor. makes sense now -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:41
        
        That shouldn't be the case...it's always been what tier you lost in. - Will Hunting Jun 19, 15:40 3
        
        Thanks guys for the clarification. I see it now. -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:41
        
        Right. Your draft pick is based on when you lose/are eliminated. Nothing else after that matters. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 19, 15:41 1
        
        Yes, that seems better. -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:42
  - Gracias -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:07 1
    - Ah now I see it. It sank below a bunch of other threads -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:08
- I finished 4th because I won a playoff game. I was an 8th seed. where does that slot me in the draft order? -- nm - Bacon Jun 19, 15:04
love this tweet: @reckless So distracted by the utterly perfect poetry of "Xbox 180" that I can barely focus on the actual issue. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 15:03

- I went with the California Noir. And did you guys choose to have your full names listed as backers? - Stephen Jun 19, 15:27 1

  - it looks like that version started with this guy. who now sells coffee, too. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jun 19, 14:47 6
    - and he's selling his own brand of coffee for $18.95/12 oz. what a f*cking racket. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 15:09 4
