  - Yep. Frites Brute and Yummy Mummy weren't around long. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 24, 12:10 3
    - I'm not sure I ever saw them. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 24, 12:15 2
      - Me either, I had heard of Frute Brute but not Yummy Mummy and never saw them in stores. - Krusty Aug 24, 12:30 1

- There are no goalkeepers in fantasy football, JD. - David Aug 24, 12:05 19

    - Someone on TiVoCommunity pointed out that with a TiVo Roamio, one TV could catch every college football game on at a given time. -- nm - David Aug 24, 12:15 13
      - But why would you want to do that? - JD Aug 24, 12:19 12
        
        Word. I can't wait for this season to start. Wiggins! - Krusty Aug 24, 12:27
        
        I miss that Yahoo basketball game so much. It breaks my heart that they never brought it back. -- nm - David Aug 24, 12:22 9

        Was the Dave Poland one? -- nm - David Aug 24, 12:31 4
        
        I can't remember if he was associated. It was the one where you essentially had a salary cap for summer movies and then bought and sold them - Reagen Aug 24, 12:33 1
        
        The Waterboy got me free movie tickets for a year. -- nm - Dano Aug 24, 12:42

        Oh, I remember that one now, where you bought actors? Yeah, that was a good one too. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 12:33
        
        *sniff* I hadn't thought about that forever. That will probably be my favorite fantasy sports game memory ever - JD Aug 24, 12:24 1
        
        Peyton Manning! -- nm - David Aug 24, 12:31
        
        Toccoa Falls! -- nm - Dano Aug 24, 12:24
        
        We should make you an LLC, all of the sports wagering -- write off the Roamio as a business expense. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:20
  - Seriously, how do you score them? - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:09 3
    - Heh. Though this being only year two of my participation and there was a pretty big revision to the rules this year, I feel like someone who.. - JD Aug 24, 12:18
    - Each fake injury = a point -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 12:11 1
      - Ummm...well, one does get a point for drawing a foul. But I believe that one can get a Yellow Card for faking so you could lose points for faking -- nm - JD Aug 24, 12:22
Bacon alert: Hawaii looks to Asia for tourism growth, as visits from the US mainland lag. -- (link) - ty97 Aug 24, 11:56
If you are looking to buy a great set of high end headphones. Best Buy has a killer deal. - Bacon Aug 24, 11:33 6
- [deleted] 2
  - They have a display so that you can test them first. Simply wonderful sound quality. I am using them now -- nm - Bacon Aug 24, 11:43 1
    - [deleted]
- Oh call ahead. I had to go to three Best Buys to find a pair and at the third one I got the last set. - Bacon Aug 24, 11:34 2
  - Bacon lives in a strange place with 3 Best Buy's within driving distance. This place is called... - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Aug 24, 12:51
  - And if you get the right salesperson they will hunt one down for you. - the liioulu with Aug 24, 11:49
So she came down from her last price by 7.5k. I went up on my last offer by 12k. My offer yesterday was 5k under her asking price. She rejected it - CovingtonCat Aug 24, 11:19 20
- Remember that this is a highly emotional situation for both of you. - ty97 Aug 24, 11:55
- $5k over 30 years is so little, if you like the place I would just get it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 24, 11:21 18
  - Bullshit, people. It's not 5k. It's 5k over the previous 13k he already tossed in. - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 Aug 24, 12:57

    - What rate are you using, I got $25 a month - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:29 14
      - The increase isn't a big deal. It's the principle - getting a deal. - CovingtonCat Aug 24, 11:41
      - I did not use any rate. just $5000 % 360. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 24, 11:40
      - The thing to keep in mind is that $25/month is a bill paid elsewhere...but it's a small price to pay for your number choice. - David Aug 24, 11:35 11
        
        I dunno the market there, but if it's anything like here, I'm not haggling over $5k - Will Hunting Aug 24, 11:57 10
        
        What I have realized is that I am extraordinarily stubborn about these things. - David Aug 24, 12:04 7
        
        Right, but this woman dropped it like 15% and there's a comp in the same building - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:10 6
        
        FWIW, the market here is a bunch of banks with foreclosed properties releasing them into the market with high asks. - David Aug 24, 12:15 5
        
        I dunno, Covington, what's the job market like there? Kelly and I loved that place. - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:21 2
        
        Amazon's hiring at their distribution center. It's a short drive away. - CovingtonCat Aug 24, 12:27 1
        
        *considers* - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:28
        
        Maybe it hasn't hit there yet, but we're seeing a lot of stuff being snapped up - Will Hunting Aug 24, 12:18 1
        
        I always have a hard time comparing our market to national trends. - David Aug 24, 12:21
        
        Yeah, I just looked at prices around here... holy smokes have they gone up. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 24, 11:59 1

- *blink* -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 10:02
10 times Calvin and Hobbes broke your heart. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 24, 09:37 14
- speaking of ... wasn't there a panel (a 1-shot maybe) where a grown up Calvin watched his little son walk away w/ Hobbes in hand? -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 24, 10:03 7
  - oh wait, nevermind ... i found it ... and (spoils) - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 24, 10:04 6
    - And you didn't post it? -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 24, 11:57
    - I don't think that is from Watterson. -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 10:50
    - I think you're thinking about that guy who did some C&H tribute strips. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 24, 10:31
    - This is one of my favs. -- (link) - The Ruiner Aug 24, 10:08 2
      - you never really stop to realize how big and impressive in size the "big cats" are until you've seen ... - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 24, 10:16 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 10:51
- Lie: zero. - nubby Aug 24, 09:45 5
  - How do you stand on The Far Side? -- nm - Mara Aug 24, 11:42
  - I am stunned by this. Stunned. It's by far the greatest comic strip I've ever read. - Krusty Aug 24, 10:49
  - [deleted]
  - All this time and I had no idea you were dead inside. -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Aug 24, 10:42
  - This explains much. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 09:56

Wait, MoS has yet to even break 650 mil? Wow. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 09:17 1
- And it really needed $750 million to be profitable. - David Aug 24, 10:31
Bryan Cranston unofficially signs six movie deal as Luthor -- (link) - Reagen Aug 24, 08:50 14
- Actual bald actors must hate him so much. -- nm - David Aug 24, 10:32 1
  - But now everyone is bald in shows -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 10:40
- Was he good in Total Recall? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 08:56 1
  - Didn't see. But he was great in Drive. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 24, 10:05
- [deleted]

- Six? I heard he signed for fifteen. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 08:51 7
  - it says it could be as many as ten. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 08:53 6

        And he is *committed* to the role. -- nm - David Aug 24, 10:32
        
        See the MoS post above. They are *praying* they can get something going. Legendary bailing on them is very telling. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 09:31
      - I heard that a part of the deal he has changed his name to Luthor and signed on to play Cranston occasionally. -- nm - Ender Aug 24, 09:21

- The rule is you finish the draft in less than 35 hours and not worry about it. *fist pump* - The Ruiner Aug 24, 08:36 5
  - Right, I think the clock is off until Monday at 10am. - Krusty Aug 24, 08:38 2
    - Yeah, and I would wait and watch the games this weekend. -- nm - The Ruiner Aug 24, 08:46 1
      - Good point. Guys could gain or lose starting spots. -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 08:47
  - I'm fine with no clock. Just want to know for sure. - Shaun Aug 24, 08:37 1
    - No clock on the weekends. -- nm - David Aug 24, 10:30

- did the Keeper thing not work? -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 08:52
Damn, I was *this* close to adding Podolski last night -- nm - zork Aug 24, 06:11 9
- I picked up Podolski and dropped Torres. Couldn't wait for him to possibly be right. - Krusty Aug 24, 06:50 4
  - oh hell, I don't know that much. - zork Aug 24, 08:35 3
    - Honestly, I guessed. I go by the numbers and nothing else. - Krusty Aug 24, 08:39 2
      - sounds familiar -- nm - zork Aug 24, 08:46 1
        
        Good to know I'm not alone. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 24, 08:50
- It's a tough call with him or Giroud and they're away too. I'll take my chances with at home strikers v. lesser opponents -- nm - CQ Aug 24, 06:13 3
  - of course I captained Benteke v. Liverpool. That was more because of form -- nm - CQ Aug 24, 06:14 2
    - I dumped Lukaku because it looks like I can't count on 90 minutes from him. -- nm - zork Aug 24, 06:15 1
      - He should get more starts coming up imo. Ba can't keep himself onside and Torres is not the same -- nm - CQ Aug 24, 06:16
For some reason, chrome on my ipad thinks there is a 2" html frame at the bottom of st. -- nm - Truman Aug 24, 05:09 3
