      - No, I meant how'd he get them back. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 11:06

        Warn them! -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 11:04
        
        I'm going to correct myself. The beef could be only 210 calories. They list it as two servings at 210 each. I don't know your portions. -- nm - David Sep 26, 11:01
    - one steak isn't going to destroy your waistline -- nm - decline Sep 26, 10:53 2
      - steak and cheese. *cheese* my nemesis -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 10:55 1
        
        seriously? It's probably got about 1/8 of an oz of cheese on it. We're talking around 10-15 calories of cheese. - decline Sep 26, 11:03
- Blue. cheese. crusted. steak. -- nm - Shaun Sep 26, 10:47

  - SSC: I eat very very little red meat. - ty97 Sep 26, 10:43 9
    - its *airline* food, you're gonna get very little red meat -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 10:52 7
      - But that's *after* the warm nuts, the salad, the appetizer, the bread. And before the sundae. -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 10:53 6

I swear I'm going to punch somebody. -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 10:30 2
- Why would you want to hurt your wrist? -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 10:33

Tonight, the hotel lounge has been puree shots -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 10:29
I agree with groiny. The lady factor in Arrow trumps SHIELD. I prefer Arrow to SHIELD actually (granted SHIELD is only 1 episode in) -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 10:13 12
- Have they started puttin the Arrow women in lingere yet? - JaxSean Sep 26, 10:34 1
  - that is their superpower -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 10:53

  - even the mom is hot -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 10:19
- And now we introduce MEGA TROLLING. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:14 5
  - hey I really liked SHIELD, Arrow is just all kinds of geeky fun. The hotness factor is a fact though -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 10:19 4
    - I like the part where the guy who can't act says something monumentally stupid to the chick whose acting makes him look like Tom Hanks. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:25
    - ohhh, that has Katie Cassidy in it? Love her. -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 10:21 2
      - Yes! Katie Cassidy! That's who I meant. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:25 1
        
        oh yea, she was terrible in Harper's Island too (but oh so nice to look at) -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 10:53

- Machado, Scherzer, Rivera. -- nm - Inigo Sep 26, 10:18 1
  - 4!, no, 1 -- nm - Don Homer Sep 26, 10:19
- Trout. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 10:16 16
  - Would anyone here disagree that Trout looks like the best player since Pujols? -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:19 14
    - A nice future trivia question will be "this high school outfielder was Anaheim's first pick in the 2009 draft." - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 26, 10:40 2
      - Yup. I love when fans of other teams start talking about how they passed on Trout with their first pick. - David Sep 26, 10:41 1
        
        Yeah...or any player that was picked after Round 1. - Jim Sep 26, 10:47
    - I doubt it, but would say he looks better than Pujols just for the speed. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 10:20 10
      - I do not even know that there is a valid comparison in my lifetime. - groiny Sep 26, 10:21 3
        
        I liken him to Mantle -- nm - amoxy Sep 26, 10:38 2
        
        He plays while still drunk from the night before? -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 10:41
        
        I do not think he is gonna hit 50 homers in a season though. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 10:38
      - If we factor in speed and defense, I would be hard pressed to name the last player who was this good in their first two seasons. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:21 5
        
        Eric Davis is probably the closest (if you factor out his first two audition seasons). - Inigo Sep 26, 10:35
        
        I'll give you speed, but Albert's defense was quite good. - Jim Sep 26, 10:25 3
        
        At the start, he was a trainwreck. He made 25 errors as a rookie. He played because of his bat. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:29 1
        
        Well, 20. But half of those were at 3B...someplace he NEVER should have been playing. -- nm - Jim Sep 26, 10:34
        
        he was not particularily good at 3b or OF, he got better when he was full time 1B. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 26, 10:26

  - for rizzle. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 10:42
- Brooklyn 99 has a solidly diverse cast. Agents of SHIELD could have tried harder. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 26, 10:25 3
  - I don't recall there being any asians on B99. That can come later, though ... (internal affairs!) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 10:52
  - /moves Andre Braugher from B99 to AoS/ I think that would work out best for everyone. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 10:46 1
    - Move him to SoA...I mean all the black people on that show seem like extras from a community theatre, none has any gravitas -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 11:02
Trying to get Verizon to install Fios is becoming a third job. - Krusty Sep 26, 10:07 4
- "TAKE MY MONEY!" "We will gladly provide you with no service for a fee." -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 26, 10:21 1
  - Seriously. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 10:26
- We had a similar issues when deciding to switch to fios tv (already had internet). As a company, their customer service might be worse than Comcast's -- nm - Don Homer Sep 26, 10:11 1
  - Their engineering dept doesn't seem to actually do anything. I've been requesting them to call my landlord for right of way but they haven't done it - Krusty Sep 26, 10:15
"Falcons expect Belichick to try to take away WR Julio Jones" - David Sep 26, 10:06 5
- Maybe they mean a blockbuster pre-game trade. -- nm - Inigo Sep 26, 10:10 2
  - Matt Ryan and Julio Jones for Tom Brady and Wes Wel...oh, wait. -- nm - David Sep 26, 10:15 1
    - *sticks a Welker jeresy on Amendola* -- nm - Hoodie Sep 26, 11:06

  - DO NOT MOCK THE HOODIE! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 26, 10:19

I use the term "squirrelled" all the time now. Am I the only one? - JaxSean Sep 26, 10:02 4
- When my daughter or myself get an ADHD attack, we generally yell "squirrel!" to get the other's attention. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 10:39
- I use squirreled away as a description of hiding something . . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Sep 26, 10:09
- Only in the sense of "she had a little extra money squirreled away". But I like this new usage. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 26, 10:08

Android question. Why would I want a different launcher? Looks like they do the same damn thing as the default home and launcher. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 09:57 6
- They have added features that can really improve the look and response of the phone. I use Nova Launcher and I'm rather happy with it. -- nm - Krusty Sep 26, 10:05 1
  - Same here. -- nm - J Sep 26, 10:08
- Customization. Some launchers have specific widgets and crap. Personally stock Jelly Bean is the way to go. -- nm - Shaun Sep 26, 09:58 3
  - Ok, maybe that's the thing. On non-stock devices (losers), do they replace Sense and the like? -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 10:01 2
    - It does. I haven't used a stock Android in a while. - Krusty Sep 26, 10:06
    - I believe so. But I've actually never tried them. My old phone was too shitty to bother with and the N4 is already sexy. -- nm - Shaun Sep 26, 10:03

It would seem that I didn't put near enough thought into the Shield pilot after watching it last night. nm - Jim Sep 26, 09:44 9
- see, I just do not know how interesting it is to follow the actual agents for the whole series. - groiny Sep 26, 09:46 6
  - Exactly, I don't care about random people with different abilities -- nm - J Sep 26, 09:47 5
    - a couple things: it's the pilot. they're not burning their whole wad right of the bat - Reagen Sep 26, 10:29
    - Heroes first episode worked, because it was from the heroes perspective. - groiny Sep 26, 09:49 3
      - True to the IM. How excited can we possibly get for a hacker chick and some Jason Bourne knockoff? - Shaun Sep 26, 09:52 2
        
        one episode in, none of the agents interest me in the least. spoils - groiny Sep 26, 09:57 1
        
        spoils - Shaun Sep 26, 09:59
- I made exactly the right amount of thought in deciding to skip it. -- nm - spamlet Sep 26, 09:45 1
