Pizza the hut is ecstatic about the royal baby, so they have launched a marketing offer. As you do. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 22, 16:21 5
- Ambiguous offer is ambiguous. Any side could mean lots of things. Glad I'm not working until Friday because they're also doing the $6.55 1-top large. - Qale Jul 22, 16:26 4
  - I'd guess they mean what's on this page, as it uses the same terms. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 22, 16:29 3
    - Huh. I wouldn't have considered a P'zone a side. But probably would have included wings. Then again, they don't count ex cheese as a topping. - Qale Jul 22, 16:38 2
      - I thought the same thing about the p'zone - never had one, but it looks like an entree to me; and pizza hut has wings? who knew? you! - b. Jul 22, 16:54 1

The front landing gear on a Southwest Airlines plane collapsed on landing at LGA -- (link) - ty97 Jul 22, 15:23 4
- I am guessing NTSB will probably leave the plane where it is in order to investigate, right? So delays at LGA for a few days? - ty97 Jul 22, 15:36 1
  - according to a headline I saw on fb, lga is closed until further notice. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 15:37

- [deleted]
- They need to juice up their newsroom -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 15:08
- They gotta find out what Yasiel Puig thinks about it first. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 15:08
so if ARoid comes back and gets suspended for the year he loses pay and the yankees have to pay it... - stewie Jul 22, 15:01 1
- If he 'retires' due to his hip without playing, this year would be covered under insurance at 70% (so 15mil or so...) - Will Hunting Jul 22, 15:03
Does the drug sampler whose name Braun smeared have a viable civil suit now? -- nm - David Jul 22, 15:01 2

- [deleted]
- I am thrilled by this turn of events. He deserves the tar and feathering he is about to receive. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:46 7
  - don't be too thrilled until the other 15 names come out. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:54 5
    - I don't care as much about the guys who didn't profess innocence like Braun did. - David Jul 22, 14:56 3
      - Exactly. I agree completely. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:59
      - I just wanna see how they hit Mekly, Yasmani and Bartolo (again) - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:58 1
        
        I hope that's it for Bartolo, especially - having a v. good season + they let him be chosen for ASG. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 15:10
    - The most likely Brave is probably Uggla. - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 22, 14:54
  - Also, they had this story 12 minutes ahead of anybody else. Good for them. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:49
- I thought those were supposed to help -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:46
- Accepted it without any fight. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:46 3
  - If the Brewers weren't in last place, I wonder what would happen. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 22, 14:48 2
    - He's fight it, and Selig would make him pay moreso. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:49
    - I am sure he would fight it. - groiny Jul 22, 14:48
- And that is probably why A-Rod was not in the lineup today in Texas -- nm - amoxy Jul 22, 14:45 15
  - Nah, that's cuz he's hurt again. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:46 14
    - Right, "hurt". -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:47 13
      - Meh, i'm pretty sure the Yanks at this point would hang him out to dry in a heartbeat. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:50 9
        
        I'm just wondering if they're making it out to be worse than it is to keep him off the team longer for some reason. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:55 5
        
        Simple --- if ARod has to be activated, he's gotta work his way back into shape in games that matter - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:57 2
        
        Makes sense and I guess this is an easy work around the rules. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:58 1
        
        *workaround of* -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 15:06
        
        I thought this yesterday before the steroid news dropped today. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:57 1
        
        Well, they hate him at this point --- any chance to not have him around is better for them :) -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:58
        
        But if he plays one game, aren't they out millions of dollars? - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 22, 14:51 2
        
        That's if he retires for the insurance - Will Hunting Jul 22, 14:54
        
        yup -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:52
      - butthurt? -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:49
      - Exactly. Wink Wink -- nm - amoxy Jul 22, 14:48 1
        
        any suspension would take place after he is active, IIRC. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 14:49
- Is he not going to appeal? -- nm - amoxy Jul 22, 14:45 4
  - No. In his statement, he implicitly acknowledges wrongdoing. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 22, 14:46 3
    - Apparently, there's "overwhelming evidence". -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 22, 14:47 2
      - So he basicly got away with it the last time? -- nm - Eag Jul 22, 14:49 1
        
        Yes. He pulled an OJ -- nm - amoxy Jul 22, 14:50

This may be a stupid technical question, but if I have a 3D tv, do I need a 3D blu-ray player to play 3D DVD's, and if so, does it matter which 3D - pmb Jul 22, 14:21 4
- Thanks all. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:27
- Do you have a PS3? It plays 3D Blu-rays. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 22, 14:26

Those of you who participate in races (5k's) - is $45 a pretty reasonable-sounding fee for a 5k? - kelly Jul 22, 14:21 16
- around here there are generally two kinds, the for-profit ones (tough mudder, colour run), and the ones done by running clubs/charities. - mafic Jul 22, 14:55
- You have to pay *them* for the privilege of running 5k? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 22, 14:54
- if you sign up early enough, they're usually around $20. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 14:26 6
  - $45 is the early registration fee for Color Run. -- (link) - kelly Jul 22, 14:27 5
    - Yeah, races with extra stuff (water, mud, bubbles, etc) are more expensive. . A regular -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 14:40 4
      - 5k though should be around $20, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 14:41 3
        
        Gotcha, thanks. - kelly Jul 22, 14:41 2
        
        The nice thing about those is that they're not timed. They're mostly for fun. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 14:43 1
        
        They don't chip for those? -- nm - SpawnDroid Jul 22, 16:17
- yeah it is. the more stuff added to the 5k the more it will cost. Keep an eye on Living Social for deals though - Remlik Jul 22, 14:23 6
  - Oh! You know what? I think I just got a Groupon for Color Run. - kelly Jul 22, 14:24 5
    - (actually, it was for something called Color in Motion - sounds like the same thing) -- nm - kelly Jul 22, 14:26 4
      - I've not done a color run, but it involves people throwing color crap on you. -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 14:28 3
        
        I think someone here did one and then complained about glitter -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:29
        
        I wanted to a zombie run this year but I just don't have time for it. We're doing a simple 5k later on that ends in Lucas Oil on the 50 yard line -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 14:28 1
