    - Not interested. - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:21
- I rate this is a "dooom" level post. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 09:17
- Seriously? He's "seeking counseling" because he was at a hillbilly concert and dropped a drunken n-bomb? - Jim Aug 2, 09:17 5
  - He is trying to make himself more appealing for the team that will pick him up when he is cut. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 09:20
  - sounds like his teammates are not behind him at all. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:19 1
    - Vick is and Vick is the clubhouse leader (which is an entirely different subject) but I think McCoy is voicing the popular opinion. -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:59

  - the story just won't die here in Philly. -- nm - decline Aug 2, 09:19
[deleted] 3
- That sounds pretty stupid, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 2, 09:17
- I can see their point. - Spawn Aug 2, 09:16
- Can approval ratings go into negative value? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 2, 09:16
1-0 bitches. nm -- nm - Bud Norris Aug 2, 09:04
I always liked Robby Thompson as a player. And I think he will make a good manager - amoxy Aug 2, 09:00 3
- that is a crap rule. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:02 2
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:05 1
    - to me, it is just the umpires being assholes. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 09:06
ok ,,, so I haven't seen The Wolverine yet ... and will prob wait 'til it's out on DVD ... spoiler credits ? inside ... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 2, 08:56 14

  - fanboy spoils - Spawn Aug 2, 09:01 12
    - I take it is - amoxy Aug 2, 09:03 11
      - yES -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 09:05 10
        
        I am not sure how I feel about (The Wolverine spoils) - Spawn Aug 2, 09:07 9
        
        Because I don't read the comics, this may be a dumb question but (spoils) - Jim Aug 2, 09:09 8
        
        Also...was I being too picky noticing this (more spoils) - Jim Aug 2, 09:12 4
        
        Fully agreed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 09:14 3
        
        Ok cool. Carrie got irritated with me for complaining about it, but it was quite glaring to me. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 09:17 2
        
        me three - mud Aug 2, 09:21 1

Wonderful video linked on my barn owl web-cam page...... -- (link) - Meg Aug 2, 08:55 [youtube] 1
- So cute! -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 09:03
National Geographic Traveler competition 2013 winners -- (link) - LMS Aug 2, 08:54
They don't mention that alcohol was involved, but we're sort of assuming that's the case, right? -- (link) - spamlet Aug 2, 08:52 2
- He definitely looks loaded in that picture. And RM is right that is a hard 41 -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:56
- That's a rough-looking 41 -- nm - Roger More Aug 2, 08:55
[deleted] 8
- Huh, this is her second time? I forgot the first time in 2007 -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:49
- meh, safe and boring. -- nm - ajrimmer Aug 2, 08:34
- meh -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:34
- Gay and extremely funny. That's a great choice. -- nm - David Aug 2, 08:34 3
  - should have paired her up with ... - zork Aug 2, 08:36 2
    - that would have been a great move -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:42 1
      - Yeah, that I would watch. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:42
- A really safe choice -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:32
ST Poll -- What's the last takeout order you got from a restaurant? - znufrii Aug 2, 08:29 17
- Noodle box. I had the Thai style chow mein with prawns. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 08:49
- actual take out from a restaurant, a couple years since i worked at my old job. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 08:44
- Pizza from our favorite local pizza joint a couple of weeks ago. - spamlet Aug 2, 08:42
- Cesar salad, garlic cheese bread, pizza -- nm - JD Aug 2, 08:41
- Pizza last night. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:39
- cajun innovation salad. I think I have to order in today too. -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:37
- I do not want to discuss the shit I got from the new Thai restaurant last night. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:36 2
  - Your ass has said all that needs to be said. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:37 1
    - dude, I am been shitting lava since 4:00 AM. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:38
- crab rangoon, pad thai, yellow curry, sampler pack....local chinese place - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:35
- 2 calzones (chicken artichoke and meatball brocolli), 1 doz. garlic wings -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:35
- Pork fried rice from the Chinese restaurant. It was meh. I dropped my change in the tip jar. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:33
- A burrito Bowl yesterday for lunch -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:32 1
  - I did not tip, even though they have a tip jar -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:34
- Chinese food for lunch. General's chicken -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:31
- Chix: Rotisserie/Peruvian Chicken and side items. -- nm - MDH Aug 2, 08:31
- It was probably a chicken pad thai. -- nm - LMS Aug 2, 08:31
Here is a "What would you do?" scenario. - David Aug 2, 08:23 21
- Kim did her part. Committed to a resolution. The company promised and failed to follow through. Their failure, their loss. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 2, 09:23
- You did everything right and the company failed at everything. Let the company make the next move. - TWuG Aug 2, 08:41 1
  - I second the motion -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 2, 09:17
- Don't look back. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:38 1
  - Yep, this. 2.5 days > "the following morning", so eff 'em -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 09:48
- nope they should have got the $ to her on time. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:37
- Fuck 'em. The dispute would have been pulled and nothing would have happened in Kim's favor, if the CEO had done what he said he would do. - Jim Aug 2, 08:36
- No. They had their chance. The question is are you going to continue this service? -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 08:34 1
  - I doubt it. The food takes about 45 minutes to prepare. We don't have that kind of free time on week nights. - David Aug 2, 08:35
- Nope. Kim was promised a refund the next day and it's now a day and half after that with no contact or refund. - Krusty Aug 2, 08:31
- I wouldn't pay. They rushed to bill and dragged when given the chance to refund. Glad to see the praise for tech. writers since mrs. zork is one. -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:29
- Sounds like Paypal did the refund and no further action needed, right? -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:28 3
  - Yes. The debate would be over the agreement about splitting the difference. -- nm - David Aug 2, 08:36 2
    - The agreement was also that he would refund her that day. He didn't follow through with his end, no reason for her to follow through on hers. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:45 1
      - I think that is where I fall on the subject. - David Aug 2, 08:49
- Nope, situation is settled in your favor and they had a change to do it right but failed at that too. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:27
- Not a chance. They had the opportunity to make good and get their share and failed. -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:26
- I'd not pay, since she explicitly said she'd drop the PayPal dispute when the refund appeared, and it didn't. -- nm - mara Aug 2, 08:26 3
  - you're right, mara -- nm - Roger More Aug 2, 08:49 1
    - dumba... err, smart ass -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:49
  - yep. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 08:42
MDH, I posted two links on B2 that I thought you'd like - zork Aug 2, 08:21 7
- Heh, I'll check them out. Unfortunately I really know nothing about euro soccer, so I'm gonna pass. :-( - MDH Aug 2, 08:30 6
  - one of us! one of us! -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:41 1
    - and feel free to ask any questions that come up... -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:54
  - my advice ... - zork Aug 2, 08:35 3
    - This. As well as pick a team to follow. Any team for whatever reason. That will give you a specific interest -- nm - JD Aug 2, 08:43 2
      - I actually only just declared (I think) my loyalty to a team after years of "fan free agency". I think I'm a Swansea supporter. - zork Aug 2, 08:47 1
        
        that's better than my reason for being a baggies fan -- (link) - znufrii Aug 2, 08:49
Global travel alert issued for whatever threat is closing down embassies on Sunday. (no link yet) -- nm - spamlet Aug 2, 08:15 1
- if the embassey is closing (even temporarily) it would be pretty dumb to travel there. -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:31
ST Poll: Tipping on a carryout order at a restaurant, Yes or No? - Strongbad Aug 2, 08:11 48
- Almost never unless it's an especially large order for a family function. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 2, 08:43
- No way (nm) - Brian Aug 2, 08:37
- Not for most but there is a local family run restaurant that I've been going to forever and I do add approx 10% -- nm - JD Aug 2, 08:29
- Usually yes, a small amt. -- nm - kelly Aug 2, 08:29
- okay, how about on a $170 order from a food truck? -- (link) - znufrii Aug 2, 08:17 4
  - is it customary to tip food trucks? -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:26 1
    - I think it's dangerous and illegal. Insurance companies hate it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 09:09
  - Here's a hint: Don't work in a job relying on the kindness of strangers if you get pissed they aren't kind. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:23 1
    - *golf clap* -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:29
- yesterday I got lunch to go and tipped and hated myself for it. I had this moment where I thought "oh crap. my server is going to be GR'd on my tab." - amanda Aug 2, 08:16 4
  - yeah, I always hate myself after but I feel pressured by the tip prompt when I'm paying by debit card -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:20 3
    - I must have been tired. or hungry. normally I just don't do it but yesterday ... argh. -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:24
    - I happily slash it out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:20 1
      - yup. - znufrii Aug 2, 08:22
- If I like the place and am somewhat regular, sure. Otherwise no. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 08:16 1
  - This is me....except carry-out at the buffet place (I filled my own box!) -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:23
- Nope. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:15
- i do if it is a regular waitress that is serving me at a counter. i am taking up her time too. i don't tip as much as a table though, obviously. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 08:14
- No -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:14
- hell no. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:13
- I have been recently but only because of an ST discussion last year. - David Aug 2, 08:13 11
  - Don't tip on a carryout under $15. That's a family pickup at McDonald's - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:22 5
    - up here there's no way $15 feeds a family at McDonald's -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:30 4
      - A family of how many? -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:43 2
        
        that might feed two people here -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:44 1
        
        Wow. We have $1 menu here. Large drink, burger, fries = $3. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:46
      - that is pretty close to what it costs my family to eat there. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:38
  - This. Plus it depends on the place. - spamlet Aug 2, 08:16
  - If they deliver, they get a tip. If I pick-up, they forfeit that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:14 3
    - I'd rather hear about Drew Brees tipping than a career 46-catch WR saying the n-word. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:17 1
      - I agree in theory but I think the interesting part of that story is the inner machinations of team chemistry. - David Aug 2, 08:27
    - I agreee. -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:17
- Sometimes I drop a buck in the jar. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:13 2
  - I'll do this sometimes too. -- nm - MDH Aug 2, 08:13
  - Very often I drop the change in the jar. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:13
- (did you hear this on Mike&Mike yesterday?) I've always said no -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:12 10
  - Colin is talking about it today, in light of the Brees story. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 2, 08:14 5
    - The guy who runs the-dirty is just a jackass troll. He was talking out of his ass and now he is relishing the negative attention. - David Aug 2, 08:25
    - He talked about it yesterday. And today. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:15 3
      - I change the station as soon as he comes on. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:17 2
        
        It pleases me that he comes on at 10am. If I hear him it is because I am running late. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:19 1
        
        Oops. Yesterday, he was on during M&M talking about it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:19
  - Here. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 2, 08:13 3
    - Yeah, I'm with Drew on this one. The only time I tip a carryout order is if it's curbside takeaway and someone actually brings me my food. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:16
    - yeah, that's what Mike & Mike where referencing. -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:15 1
      - This is him reacting to the reactions from yesterday. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:16
- No. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:12
- No! -- nm - Drew Aug 2, 08:12
And our 700th UV movie is....Scarface! -- nm - David Aug 2, 08:09 8
- Damn, I thought I was doing good with 16 new uv's this week. - J Aug 2, 09:12
- 700? That's insane. -- nm - MDH Aug 2, 08:10 6
  - You want insane? Ask him about his Amazon collection. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:12 1
    - didn't Lincoln abolish that shit? -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:14
  - You're thinking small. It'll be over 2000 by 2017. -- nm - David Aug 2, 08:12 3
    - You're thinking you`ll be able to upload yourself by 2027. -- nm - mud Aug 2, 08:36 2
      - Kickstart David 4eva! -- nm - David Aug 2, 08:54 1
        
        [sends .99c] -- nm - mud Aug 2, 09:11
