Cal Worthington dies at 92. -- (link) - CrankYanker Sep 9, 13:55 4
- Did not know the man, but respect: "Worthington died Sunday while watching football at his home on the Big W Ranch " -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:57 3
  - he should be buried at the cadillac ranch...or burned in pyre of those 50 acres of burning tires -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 14:00
  - He was a California tv commercial institution. - Stephen Sep 9, 13:59 1
    - Up here, too. My local FB friends are all in mourning. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 14:01
She replied back with "what is a start show? I am post call, so provided I can wake up, yes, I'm free!" - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:50 6
- star"t"? -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:51 1

I love the name, their clothes look alright too... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 9, 13:36 5
- i was expecting something like tactical tailor (custom military vests, gear belts) since the war is winding down there might be a flood surplus gear -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:46 3
  - Yeah, that or extremely well tailored business suits. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:50 2
    - tailored? over the internet? go get these measurements and report back? sure, its hard enough with a tailor - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:58 1
      - Well, you can not go into combat with ill fitting war gear. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:59
- Name is good, clothes do not really match it, like the website design. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:39
Has any STer seen Instructions Not Included? -- nm - Inigo Sep 9, 13:33 5
- I had never heard of it aside from amoxy mentioning it as an option the other day. It's made like 20 million dollars. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:38
- My daughter and I were going to see it this weekend, went to Grandmaster instead - amoxy Sep 9, 13:37
- Do you mean Owners Manual? -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 9, 13:35
- Is that the AMC series? - Beryllium Sep 9, 13:33 1

Is Jeter coming back next year? Will that be his final year? -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 13:28
Bond, re: B2, I put "type 1" on everything. I don't want to take the chance I get mistaken for Type 2. Or I'll put "diabetes - on insulin pump". - kelly Sep 9, 13:21 5
- That is good. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:47
- My diabetic friend has his alert 'bracelet' as a tattoo on his wrist. I think you should do this to tempt fate. - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 13:24 3
  - Nah, all she'd have to do is call up the cats at Bad Ink... - Stephen Sep 9, 13:58
  - Heh. I seriously considered it in my younger days. - kelly Sep 9, 13:46
  - Ooh, I could use that as my excuse when I talk to the anti-coag. clinic...... - Meg Sep 9, 13:43
for any who are still watching - I really enjoyed last week's 'Broadchurch' although it was incredibly sad. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:20 4
- the turn on that particular character sort of stayed with me for a day or two...{spoilers) - Mel Profit Sep 9, 13:23 1
  - they do really wrenching beautiful stuff. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:26
- it's a very sad series. but excellent -- nm - Remlik Sep 9, 13:21 1
  - very well done. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:22
Has anyone been watching the show after BB? Low Winter Sun believe it is. Recorded them all, wortha watch? -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 13:09 3
- its kinda convoluted in an SOA way and as depressingly filmed as the killing - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:18 1
  - I want a bit more progression into the mystery but as Diva pointed out to me... - Mel Profit Sep 9, 13:48
- I watched the first couple, it was OK. Not bad, just didn't get my interest -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 13:15
I blame David for everything. He's spent years trying to sell Run DMC as a star back, now he's ruining David Wilson as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 12:59 2
- McFadden is a blueprint example of how all the talent in the world won't help if you get drafted by the wrong team. -- nm - David Sep 9, 13:01 1
  - And are more brittle than a faberge egg. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:02
From B2: I play myvegas similar to znufrii, I let autoplay in the background between 25/50 times, 600-1500 per spin. - MDH Sep 9, 12:59 30
- Also, maybe certain games pay worse than others? What do people play? - MDH Sep 9, 13:10 3
  - Reel Chef and Around the world in 80 days are the only slots I seem to play - amoxy Sep 9, 13:13
  - Frontier Fortune - Bet the Farm - Reel Chef - Excal 2 - usually play them in that order -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:12
  - I'm hooked on the pirates game. before that it was the Wild West one. - znufrii Sep 9, 13:12
- Man, I get like 60 coins per spin; I can't afford to spin 1500 more than 3-4 times. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:00 25
  - I started friend whoring. Joined the MyVegas Friends group and added 50 or so people - amoxy Sep 9, 13:02 7
    - there are some lines I simply will not cross. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 13:22
    - :) I've been tempted ... but have held off so far -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:04 5
      - Yep, I joined the page but have been ignoring the friend requests from there. -- nm - Meg Sep 9, 13:40
      - There has been a couple of people who I will probably keep as friends after this - amoxy Sep 9, 13:05 3
        
        I like reading the reviews of trips just taken - helps narrow down what I want to try to get :) - JenBro Sep 9, 13:10 2
        
        I do have enough for a weekend comp room at the Excalibur (one day) - amoxy Sep 9, 13:22 1
        
        YES - the monorail pass would be the shizzle ... I guess too that there are some shows where using ONE comp gets you two passes to the show - JenBro Sep 9, 13:41
  - wait until you build more of the strip and collect their chips - you'll have more -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:02 16
    - This. I never friended anyone except for a few STers, these bank coins constantly. 2-10k per click for the bigger hotels. -- nm - MDH Sep 9, 13:04 2
      - feel free to add me, if you want. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 13:10 1
        
        me too -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:13
    - The Aria is taking me forever to build -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 13:04 12
      - nmbamoxy or other Candy Crush players - what is the level that you guys swore you had to purchase a booster to make it past? it was in the hundreds -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 13:16 1
        
        I quit on level 208. It drove me to madness -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 13:18
      - yep yep ... wait until Mandalay Bay (which just today gave me 10K chips on a round up - but I hadn't played all weekend) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:04 9
        
        My experience LIR - haven't had a decent spin or jackpot in forever :( -- (link) - Meg Sep 9, 13:10 [Backboard] 6
        
        Ah I see. And I'm not sure they have anything left to build to be honest, that's their whole hotel lineup right? -- nm - MDH Sep 9, 13:12 4
        
        IMHO - they have a good selection of hotels though ... it's been fun looking at all the stuff -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:42 2
        
        Caesars needs to get on the bandwagon here - znufrii Sep 9, 13:48 1
        
        hmm not sure ... I had an insurance convention there AGES ago that I attended ... it was just ... "meh" -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:49
        
        Quite possible - but then they need to modify their system so as not to make impossible promises. - Meg Sep 9, 13:19
        
        re: unlocking the pirate game, it unlocks if you send invites to people who already play the game, and iirc they don't even need to accept. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 13:11
        
        Yesterday was insane, I hit the 10K on the wheel, max multiplyer and all the hotels. It's a huge payday when that happens -- nm - MDH Sep 9, 13:05 1
        
        nice - znufrii Sep 9, 13:06
*hits the Chad Henne music* -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 12:57
Its funny that were talking about Ridleys and Wilsons's fumbling problems - eag Sep 9, 12:57
So I am about to text the hot ER resident to go hang out Wed. I am planning to go to a planetarium show. Nerdy, I know, but should be cool. - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 12:54 33
- do you hear music when you see the stars? its a nice date, not as banal as a movie..but quit downplaying youself - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:05 2
  - Some people use "geeky/nerdy" as a kind of currency - con_carne Sep 9, 13:36
  - Plus you sort of are laying down together. - Spawn Sep 9, 13:06
- I think I will go with: ""Hey, are you free Wed evening at like 7? There is a star show on the west side, wanna go?" I think this leaves a little - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:04 7
  - Text sent, I went with this. Let's see how this goes. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:13 3
    - Luck! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 13:21
    - *thumbs up* Is it the one at UCLA? - con_carne Sep 9, 13:17 1
      - yes -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:48
  - Show up wearing a mask. Chicks love that intrigue. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:06 2
    - He should wear his scrubs and mask then act like everything is normal. -- nm - Inigo Sep 9, 13:17
    - omg -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:14
- Hey, are you free Wed evening at 7? Dinner and a light show." -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:02 1
  - Sounds kinky -- nm - oblique Sep 9, 13:10

- You. Me. Hump night under the stars. -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 12:59
- don't call it nerdy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 12:58
- "there is this nerdy thing" is *awful.* why not just "are you free wednesday night? I just found out the planetarium has a show - want to go?" - amanda hk Sep 9, 12:56 11
  - No element of surprise/intrigue ? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 9, 13:00 9
    - I like the idea of the planetarium show, but don't think it works as a surprise. - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 13:15
    - "a nerdy thing" could be WOW or a spelling bee or a planetarium or a lecture on the history of stamp glue. - amanda hk Sep 9, 13:05 6
      - WOW should NEVER be a surprise. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 13:29 3
        
        100% disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:31 2
        
        If someone surprised me with that, I'd surprise them by calling a taxi. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 13:36 1
        
        And they would be glad you did. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 13:41
      - Who knew Amanda was so into stamp glue? -- nm - Qale Sep 9, 13:08 1
        
        *inhales deeply* - znufrii Sep 9, 13:09
    - It's dating, not spycraft. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:03
  - Absolutely -- nm - prayformojo Sep 9, 12:59
- "Would you like to go to the Planet Arium?" - oblique Sep 9, 12:55 1
  - I always hear it that way too, thanks South Park -- nm - Beaker Sep 9, 13:07
I would pay $50 to tour a jamaiican pot farm in a HEART beat ... sinsemella that was Bob Marley's personal favorite? Yes Please! -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 12:52 4
- Samples! -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 12:57

    - Ya, we don't have Marley -- but Seattle did have Hendrix. . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 9, 13:36
so to expand my knowledge of the NFL beyond the Seahawks, I recorded and watched the first ep of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team - crash davis Sep 9, 12:48 21
- Wanted to see the more manly side of the Jones circus? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:01 1
  - its really the only squad in the Dallas organization that I don't despise :) -- nm - crash davis Sep 9, 13:03
- omg - I was telling mel all about this show a few days ago. - Diva Sep 9, 12:58 17
  - The DCC has an obvious style of dance, kick-line and such. What entertained me was the women who showed up twerking, or using stripper moves, or any - crash davis Sep 9, 13:02 10
    - USFL league did that, i think they actually hired strippers -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:06 1
      - and the XXXFL. -- nm - She Hate Me Sep 9, 13:08
    - wenches who get cut. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:06 7
      - "I'm gong to an audition on a football field. I'll wear stilettos instead of sneakers" -- nm - crash davis Sep 9, 13:08 6
        
        I'm not sure why exactly but this thread is cracking me up. - Diva Sep 9, 13:10 5
        
        *goes to google Sandra Bezic as the stiletto heels sink into the turf, immobilizing me* -- nm - crash davis Sep 9, 13:14 4
        
        she just has such a great eye for style and technique and your description of those wannabes, while very funny was also apt. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:16 3
        
        :) - What gets me is this. While its the first ep, I've ever watched; I see there are seven previous seasons of this show. - crash davis Sep 9, 13:28 2
        
        a lot of the people interested in doing this sort of thing aren't exactly the brightest lights in the candelabra, if you know what I mean. - Diva Sep 9, 13:31 1
        
        casting couch wanna bees :) -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 13:45
  - notoriously ruthless with that stuff -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 12:59 5
    - they have to be. instead of 'Hard Knocks' they could call it "Pillow Fighting Bitch Slaps". - Diva Sep 9, 13:01 4
      - can we watch this together? -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 9, 13:26 3
        
        sure! -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:26 2
        
        don't play coy with me... -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 9, 13:30 1
        
        I was serious. It's why I brought it up the other day in the first place. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:31
- *remembers Trish's post about "guys guys" from yesterday to Loosi* -- nm - JenBro Sep 9, 12:52
So, David Wilson gets punished, because of his 2 fumbles, but Manning with his 3 INTs (one that went back for a TD), gets a pass? -- nm - Flavorize Sep 9, 12:48 6
- Yes. -- nm - Steven Ridley watching Tom Brady fumble si Sep 9, 12:55
- One of the INTs really wasn't his fault, and if we just looked at QBR: he had a heck of a game - crash davis Sep 9, 12:52
- 2 were tipped/dropped balls that should have been caught. -- nm - Reagen Sep 9, 12:51
- Eli has 2 rings. David Wilson has 377 career rushing yards. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 12:50
- David Wilson is still a young pup and had the same problem last years openers. - amoxy Sep 9, 12:50
- It really is a passer league. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 12:49
"Don't drink and drive, but if you do, call me" -- nm - Saul Sep 9, 12:47 5
- anyone else think its a bit ironic for Kiefer Sutherland to be hawking whiskey in commercials? - Epiphany Sep 9, 13:01 2
  - I saw that and was like 'Well, he'd know'. -- nm - Diva Sep 9, 13:13 1
    - LOL - right. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 13:27
- "I'm burning your money, bitch!" -- nm - crash davis Sep 9, 12:53 1
  - that was grabbing walt by the family jewels -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 9, 13:54
