- have a safe journey -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 15, 14:16
- Thanks ST. I'm going to be alright (I usually am) I'll mostly be driving family around and being fearful of being in such a small town in Blue Ridge. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 09:29
- very sorry for your loss. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 09:29
- My condolences. -- nm - TWuG Aug 15, 09:27
- Very sorry. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:27
- sorry to hear this. glad work was cool about it. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 15, 09:24 1
  - Yeah me too. Though it wasn't like I gave 'em a choice. I was like, I'm going. Tough titties. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 09:25
- sad news sorry -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 15, 09:23
- So sorry for your loss. :-( - Krusty Aug 15, 09:23

- condolences to you and your family -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:21
- sorry to hear of your loss. -- nm - znufrii Aug 15, 09:19 1
  - Thanks. I really am concerned how this affects my grandmother. My last remaining grandmother. The bestest grandmother ever. It's gotta be hard on her. -- nm - Qale Aug 15, 09:20
heh. "The Red Sox are 0-13 on Ben Affleck's birthday since the release of Good Will Hunting in 1997." -- nm - Don Homer Aug 15, 09:17 1

Yasiel Puig's throwing motion is as awkward as it is impressive - Will Hunting Aug 15, 09:16 7
- *signs up for throwing lessons* -- nm - Charles Barkley Aug 15, 09:19
- it is funny, because it looks like it gets to second base, and picks up speed. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:18 5
  - Yeah, I'm just watching and wondering about the physics behind how he does it. - Will Hunting Aug 15, 09:22 4
    - Yeah, that short arm throw shouldn't go that fast. The man's a freak! -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 09:24 3
      - And then there's this. Leonys Martin cutting down Jose Altuve with daylight - Will Hunting Aug 15, 09:26 1
        
        dang -- nm - spamlet Aug 15, 09:36
      - it would concern me that he will eventually hurt that arm. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:26
NFL: Patriots cut Michael Jenkins -- nm - Strongbad Aug 15, 09:13
I just realised that I didn't recount something that happened a couple of weeks ago ... - zork Aug 15, 09:09 9
- was the old lady hurt? I mean they often break a hip from something like that (and often die within a year) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 15, 14:18
- I think my days of confronting people for shit like that are over. - groiny Aug 15, 09:11
- Proof that everyone should carry a gun. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:11 6
  - and if he died I'd have to live with having killed someone for the rest of my life. no thanks. -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:13 5
    - You shoot him in the leg. And go back to where the old lady is. Tell the police when they get there he will be hard to miss. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:26 2
      - pistols are inaccurate enough that going for called shots is dumb, besides you could hit an artery and he bleeds out. -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:29 1
        
        I would call him an ambulance. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:31
    - well, for knocking an old lady down, that might be a tough pill to swallow. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:14
    - I think he means the old lady. "He put me on the ground... I put him IN the ground!" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 15, 09:14
here's a poll: if you reaganned your lunch today, what would you get to replace it? - amanda Aug 15, 09:04 10
- Moes. - spamlet Aug 15, 09:23
- [deleted]
- I am thinking Subway or Potbelly. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:08
- I don't bring my lunch. - Spawn Aug 15, 09:07
- Slice of pizza. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 09:06
- Pei Wei -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:06
- They're talking about Red Robin on the podcast I'm listening to right now. /salivating -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 15, 09:06
- Subway. -- nm - mara Aug 15, 09:05
- Taco Bell. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 09:05
- Perhaps subway again. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 09:04
I'm confused: does $43K buy you a gold Rolex, or a gold-plated Rolex? - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 15, 09:03 9
- for a cheap rolex it would be gold there is not all that much material in them -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 15, 09:16
- depends on the model but I would expect you could get a non-plate one for that. -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:10
- It should be solid gold not plated for that price. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 09:10 4
  - Rolex doesn't do plating on their watches. If it's gold it's solid gold. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 09:12 2
    - apparently, some models in the past were plated -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:15 1
      - Right. If it's been made in the last 50 or so years it's solid gold and if it's not it's fake. :-) - Krusty Aug 15, 09:18
  - could also be "gold filled" which is better than plated. -- nm - zork Aug 15, 09:11
- It's probably worth about that, I'll give you fifty bucks for it, cash right now. -- nm - Rick from Pawn Stars Aug 15, 09:05
- sounds cheap, probably gold plate -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 09:04
jenji kohan on frrrrrresh air today. -- nm - amanda Aug 15, 08:59

- nice. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 09:03
What's the shelf live of a 3B in baseball? - Mel Profit Aug 15, 08:57 6
- I would say 34. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:07
- Realistically, 37-38 for players who are top-tier - Will Hunting Aug 15, 09:07
- 30 is not old for a 3B. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 09:00
- No, but it's not a spring chicken either. - spamlet Aug 15, 09:00
- nah 30 isn't old at all. Philly's Michael Young is 36 (and he's probably got 1-2 years in him still) -- nm - decline Aug 15, 08:59
- Uhm... I think the time it would require you to run across the field might be an issue. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 08:59
Well there's my near-death experience for the day - Reagen Aug 15, 08:46 32
- always have a cam in the helmet dammit :) - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 15, 09:19 1

- wow! -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 09:04
- Yikes! Glad you're mostly okay with no real damage other than the bike and your lunch. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 08:51 3
  - I expect I'll be pretty stiff tomorrow. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 08:55 2
    - anything over 4 hours, and call your doctor. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 09:09
    - Yeah. :-( Going to be weekend of recovery. -- nm - Krusty Aug 15, 08:57
- lord that sounds scary. glad you're still walking and talking. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 15, 08:51
- 9.5 -- nm - judges Aug 15, 08:51 2
  - 6.5 -- nm - french canadian judges Aug 15, 09:04 1
    - Wait, is he gay? Get that guy out of here! -- nm - russian judges Aug 15, 09:22
- Stuck the landing. Nicely done! :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 08:50 2
  - I've had good luck with spills in the past. I've had a few where I look back and I should have been more injured except I twisted myself into the best - Reagen Aug 15, 09:07
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 08:51
- wow. he should also pay for an evening out for you and the missus. - zork Aug 15, 08:48
- glad you are safe, but what about your lunch ? -- nm - decline Aug 15, 08:47
- you left out the most important part - oblique Aug 15, 08:47 15
  - "Oh damn, there goes lunch. Oh well, off to Chipotle!" -- nm - if this happened to Kilbo Aug 15, 08:54 1
    - well, it is Thursday -- nm - oblique Aug 15, 08:57
  - Most of it is fine, but the two cans of Dr. Pepper are a total loss. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 08:50 10
    - I had a similar encounter but it was with a turtle on the bike path unexpectedly when cresting a hill - oblique Aug 15, 09:01 6
      - And the turtle paid for the damage? -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 09:03
      - but what about the turtle? -- nm - decline Aug 15, 09:02 4
        
        it made an excellent soup. -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 09:07
        
        missed it by that much - oblique Aug 15, 09:04 1
        
        "This is for kicking you, isn't it." -- nm - Reagen Aug 15, 09:07
        
        *splurt* -- nm - Skagnetti si Aug 15, 09:02
    - *pours out a Dr. Pep....* oh, wait. -- nm - Andie Aug 15, 08:51 1
      - that's pretty funny -- nm - zork Aug 15, 08:56
    - Tragic :( -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 08:50
  - I expect arrangements are being made now. In a couple of hours, it'll be six feet under ... - zork Aug 15, 08:49
  - hopefully ... "lunch was going to be a pita & hummus, so my flatbread is only flatter" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 08:49

- It was noted, but no. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 08:30
- Our 2nd was born on December 27th. - amoxy Aug 15, 08:22 5
  - *I* was born December 27th! -- nm - landbeck Aug 15, 08:32 2
    - TIL landbeck is amoxy's kid -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 08:43 1
      - heh. -- nm - zork Aug 15, 08:46

- His Twitter bio: - nubby, Astro-lord Aug 15, 08:17 1
  - ha! looks like he hasn't changed it yet. -- nm - Remlik Aug 15, 08:18
- she sees $$$$$$$$ -- nm - groiny Aug 15, 07:57 5
  - yep. When they had Billy Gunn and his tag partner pretend they were a couple, they go a ton of press... - Remlik Aug 15, 08:01 3
    - Here's my guess. His tag team partner turns on him after finding out he's gay resulting in a face turn for Young and a nice feud for a worn out tag - pmb Aug 15, 08:10 2
      - works for me. -- nm - Remlik Aug 15, 08:18 1
