    - With a 30-player dynasty draft, I'd be tempted to start taking someone from next year's Rookie class and stash them away. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 07:49 1

- I read it as B -- nm - Roger More Jul 2, 07:49
- I read it pretty clearly as C, and I would rule that a signature equals an oath *if*, but... - Max Jul 2, 07:47 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - I'd say no on that B requirement. I think it's pretty clear from the wording of the law that congress wanted to cover two types of cases - Max Jul 2, 07:51 3

        Except that I would require evidence in the form of testimony or documents which clearly confirms the lie at the time he signed the document. - Max Jul 2, 07:54 1

    - But they hide them and I don't want to play games to get my food like I'm a seal. - Krusty Jul 2, 07:34
  - Do you feel lucky? - JenBro Jul 2, 07:30 1
    - Pretty sure it was Carmel, yeah -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 07:31

  - locked in gun safes does not really help much. -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 07:24
I just listened to the full 21 minute GOP response to the DOMA/Prop 8 rulings. It's a gem, sad, but a gem. - MDH Jul 2, 07:11 4
- That's 21 minutes of your life you will never get back. -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 07:12 3
  - so they're right, it's accelerating doom -- nm - Max Jul 2, 07:23
  - I'm reviewing the most dull tax forms ever, so I might as well listen to something. - MDH Jul 2, 07:19 1

- Absolute crap. Millions of people around his age have found a way to get through their lives without killing someone. - Krusty Jul 2, 07:18 6
  - It's a crap argument. A sociopath is going to do what a sociopath wants to do until they are stopped. - Diva Jul 2, 07:28 3
    - Yup. We had people doing these things before reality TV, hip hop and mob movies. - Krusty Jul 2, 07:32

    - Not sure why that would matter. Either it influences people or doesn't. Not sure why he would think only athletes would be influenced by the music - Krusty Jul 2, 07:20 3
      - it only matters because I can stab redmond in the back -- nm - dogbert Jul 2, 07:22 2

Like Dano posted last night: it's now July, what are your favorite movies of 2013 so far? -- nm - MDH Jul 2, 06:40 14

    - {reads Narita as Narnia} -- nm - LMS Jul 2, 07:54
    - You would not have done security to immigrate, but you definitely would have done security if you stayed in the airport and transferred. - ty97 Jul 2, 06:48 2
      - Maybe that's just what I was thinking. No general security and dumping you outside the airport. - spamlet Jul 2, 06:58
      - [deleted]

  - And Hong Kong. - ty97 Jul 2, 06:41 3
