- IIRC it's been 9 or 10 Eastern in the past. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 21, 15:50
This post about coloring old photos in Photoshop makes me think... - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 21, 15:48 2
- no, there are a lot of colors with the same gray tone rendering but distinct different color hue, terra cotta against blue sky is a famous one - zeitgeist Aug 21, 19:40 1
  - also the kind of film effects translation of gray scale, IE: orthopan or panchromatic - zeitgeist Aug 21, 19:45
Seriously, is there any idea less feasible at this moment than a Jets offensive player winning MVP? -- nm - David Aug 21, 15:45 3
- I hate him, but he is a starter for a few weeks. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 15:49 2
  - Oh, I wasn't disparaging the pick. I just know that I look at Jets offensive players and think, "Okay, who else is on Denver?" -- nm - David Aug 21, 15:53 1
    - Trust me, there's a reason I was this long before RB #3. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 21, 15:56

- I think she's too young but she has the talent to be one of the greatest actresses of this generation. -- nm - David Aug 21, 15:42 1
  - Well, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is apparently Quicksilver. He's 23, she's 24, so about right. -- nm - volnelk Aug 21, 15:44
Will, JF, ML -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 15:32 3
- [deleted] 2

Just got home; Kelly is on the road...we will have her pick posted shortly. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 21, 15:27 2

- And you're up now, too. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 15:29

- Okay we are back on track. JD fixed his pick. Kelly is up -- nm - Bacon Aug 21, 15:20
- JD, are you sure on that pick? He's out at least six weeks. - Kim Pine Aug 21, 15:11 9
  - *blink* I apparently seem to be intent on continuing Spamlet's legacy. - JD Aug 21, 15:15 5
    - I picked Sid Rice once and he was out with a huge injury. I would not mind giving you a do over if it's fast -- nm - Bacon Aug 21, 15:16 4
      - NObody had picked behind you yet -- nm - Bacon Aug 21, 15:16 3

        Ok..ok..Many thanks for the do-over - JD Aug 21, 15:20 1
        
        Bell might have played in 8-10 weeks, but he's a rook, and most likely you wouldn't have him as a keeper for next year with limited touches like that. - Bacon Aug 21, 15:22
  - Yeah, I was going to ask if we should let him mulligan that pick -- nm - Bacon Aug 21, 15:14 2
    - I texted him to check. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 15:16
    - I would say that we could allow him to go back and repick but we dont' hold up the other people now because he might have picked and just left -- nm - Bacon Aug 21, 15:15

    - Are you picking for yourself now? Or do I need to go ahead for you? -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 15:03 2

- It's your pick. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 21, 14:31
- Since it is the Pats, it could be a Hangnail or a busted spine -- nm - amoxy Aug 21, 14:28 3
  - he could be randomly attacked by an Alien Face Hugger in front of the assembled Boston press and they'd claim he was Day to Day. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 21, 14:35 2
    - Well they do tend to detach from the face in a relatively short amount of time -- nm - JD Aug 21, 14:46 1

    - Just based on a few titles I tried this out on right now - con_carne Aug 21, 15:03 1
