- I think you're just posting your draft picks now to be as far from the suggested format as possible - oblique Aug 22, 07:30 1
  - Not really. The draft number and as my team name never changes that is all that is needed. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 07:47
one over-ride for a class accepted, one to go *fingers crossed*. if I get the second one, I save a whole semester -- nm - dogbert Aug 22, 07:27

Oregon is the cheapest state in which to own a car -- (link) - znufrii Aug 22, 07:14 17
- This list is completely counter-intuitive to me. - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:16 16
  - playing devil's advocate, a couple quick thoughts that 'dis-incentivizing' car buying is non-progressive - crash davis Aug 22, 07:41 1
    - I agree with all 3 points - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:47
  - We're more libertarian than progressive. -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 22, 07:18 13
    - Oregon is one of my fallback trivia answers for states with political quirks. - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 07:23 6
      - Nebraska: only state with a unicameral legislature -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 07:33 1

        Mop presents: Fun with Flags -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:28 1
        
        Which is far easier to say than Mop's Vexillological Wonders -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 07:30
    - depends on where you are in the state, really. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 07:21
    - I've always heard places like Portland - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:21 4
      - I get the feeling Portland is to Oregon as Atlanta is to Georgia. - Roger More Aug 22, 07:42
      - It's because of the low taxes that we're #1. Our gas prices are relatively high but we drive less so our average there is on the low side. - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 22, 07:23 2
        
        My guess is that we probably have more hybrid cars on the road as well. -- nm - Bacon Aug 22, 07:28
        
        The taxes are clearly the deciding factor from state to state, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 07:27
Vamps: shay, Krusty, budice, baron -- nm - budice Aug 22, 07:09 1
- Restart the draft! -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 07:09

- Mortdecai is the worst title for anything ever. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 07:12
- He needs to expand his range and play a character wearing grey face makeup. -- nm - Bacon Aug 22, 07:03 4
  - he needs to play a wall street banker or something. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 07:07 3
    - Do they have rogueish, quirky wall street bankers? -- nm - Ender Aug 22, 07:08 2
      - He's a quirky analyst that doesn't like what his bank is doing and takes it down in rogueish fashion. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 07:10
      - heh, they probably do. but he shouldn't play one. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 07:10

- it took me a long time to admit it to myself, but, i am officially disappointed in Johnny these days. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 06:57 1
  - agreed. I'd kill for him to play something even like he did in "Blow" or "Donny Brasco". - Mel Profit Aug 22, 07:20
Spawn, Spawn. Why haven't you picked yet! SPAWN! -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 06:44 6
- he may be busy with something. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 22, 07:21 5
  - Yeah, something made me late for work (two, actually). On it. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 22, 07:21 1
    - That happened to me a few weeks ago as well. - Mel Profit Aug 22, 07:24
  - IIRC, he has until 11am. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 07:21 2
    - I know but he was posting to me within 5 minutes of me being up yesterday wondering why I hadn't drafted. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 07:25 1
      - Do as he says, not as he ruins. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 07:26
I feel like I should be sending David and Kim a gift for being my draft managers so far - Truman Aug 22, 06:35 2
- If you're a caveman, I'm not sure how much drafting they've done. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 06:35 1
  - 2, plus the ones they make today. But they are awesome people's, and all of the feud should've flowering them with gifts. -- nm - Truman Aug 22, 06:37
it is 9:20 am, and i have already had two unbelievably frustrating calls with two different companies customer service departments. - Andie Aug 22, 06:22
The Eagles and Phillies shared a porn collection at the Vet... -- (link) - Don Homer Aug 22, 06:19
My boss is in today so I'm going to be scarce --- the text message to either me or kelly would be swell. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 06:17 6

  - Done --- if the commish could add him to my team, mucho gracias --- stupid work IE. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 06:27 4
    - (I just added him.) -- nm - kelly Aug 22, 06:32

Manning Poll: If you were forced to change gender but could choose your own name, what would you pick? - nubby Aug 22, 06:08 22
- reflecting my actual name, Ellen, Eliza or Goldy -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 22, 12:31
- I never really thought about it but I always liked classical English names so I'd probably go with Elizabeth or Victoria. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 07:40
- Princess Buttercup -- nm - oblique Aug 22, 07:21
- Was this poll prompted by Peyton or Eli? -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 22, 07:17
- That's tough. I mean, could you choose your own name even if you weren't switching genders? -- nm - Mop on Nook Android Tablet Aug 22, 07:05 1
  - For this poll, you're forced to change gender. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 07:22
- I was given the drag name 'Ron' back when I was in college as a goof. Maybe I'd just use that. -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 06:47
- I feel like I'd go with something close to my original name, but that never seems to be the case with those who actually do it. - Ender Aug 22, 06:45 2
  - see, i don't think i would feel like an 'Andrew.' - Andie Aug 22, 06:53 1
    - Andre! -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 07:44
- I would probably be jason or justin. (what. this isn't a real poll?) -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 06:41 10
  - A name I've never known anyone that had. Simon, perhaps. -- nm - mara Aug 22, 07:31
  - Of course it's a real poll. Don't listen to the h8rs. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 06:50
  - it is now. i would be maybe Aaron or Luke. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 06:47 7
    - the transgender upstairs went from Susanna to Lucas. -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 06:47 6
      - Stacy never changed names, did s/he? -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 06:54 3
        
        Luckily it's an androgynous name. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 07:01 1
        
        sure, it just seems like a missed opportunity. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 07:08
        
        *shrug* -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 06:58
      - "The Transgender Upstairs" sounds like a Spirit-winning indie flick. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 06:51 1
        
        this could work. -- nm - Diva Aug 22, 06:57

Bradley Manning now wants to be Chelsea Manning. -- (link) - spamlet Aug 22, 05:56 2
- "[Coombs] expected Manning to get a pardon from President Barack Obama"..."Coombs has said the soldier could be pardoned in seven years." - Ender Aug 22, 06:22 1
  - If you're going to live in the fantasy world where manning gets a pardon, might as well go all the way. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 06:33
I'm going to Chicago next month. I've never done business travel before. I'm freaking out a little bit. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 05:50 6
- Where are you coming from? Where is the meeting? Maybe I can give you some tips. -- nm - pmb Aug 22, 07:30
- What about? At least it's somewhere close... -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 05:54 4
  - Just a group meeting for a research project I'm part of. - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 06:03 3
    - Yeah but depending on where the meeting is it might be easier to train if you don't want to fly. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 06:43 2
      - I grew up there and I avoid driving downtown if I can. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 06:43 1
        
        Unfortunately, I have to commit to a plan before knowing where it's going to be. Crazy talk. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 22, 07:00
More Survivor stuff coming out. Jeff Probst talks about twists and stuff... - Jim Aug 22, 05:44 18
- This sounds like it might *not* suck. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 05:49 17
  - I think it has some potential (spoils) - Jim Aug 22, 06:03 16
    - spoils - Roger More Aug 22, 06:06 15
      - Well (spoils) - Jim Aug 22, 06:10 14
        
        spoils - Roger More Aug 22, 06:17 13
        
        Very true. The potential is there for this to be a solid season. I just wonder if it'll turn out that way. - Jim Aug 22, 06:22 12
        
        It will certainly have a different dynamic, but it strikes me as too much "we'll throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks" -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 06:24 11
        
        The thing I wish Lynne Spillman (and Probst for that matter) would understand is that what matters are the characters. - Jim Aug 22, 06:31 10
        
        Heh. - Strongbad Aug 22, 06:52 7
        
        You should - there's a lot in what Jim says. - Roger More Aug 22, 07:16 5
        
        i would go back if they had a season that was all new people played straight up. - Andie Aug 22, 07:18 4
        
        There's a returning contestant this season that I have no memory of. - Roger More Aug 22, 07:36 3
        
        Laura? If so...she was the first person to mouth off to Russell Hantz. His first "victim" so to speak. - Jim Aug 22, 07:43 2
        
        Yep. I don't have the merest hint of a trace of a glimmer of a memory. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 07:45 1
        
        Actually, Russell really didn't get her. Someone named John did. I know that I didn't like her...that's pretty much what I remember of her. :) - Jim Aug 22, 07:47
        
        Tell them... - Jim Aug 22, 07:04
        
        Something from an earlier link makes me hope they really get someone new in charge of casting. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 22, 06:44 1
