well, my work has now blocked Facebook. No more MyVegas for me during the day. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 10:19 1
- I think they have an Iphone app for it - and others to follow -- nm - JenBro Oct 11, 10:45
Deadspin is now saying Peterson's son (it is his son, but not one that anyone knew of before) is not expected to survive. - Stephen Oct 11, 10:15 6
- There are too many Petersons and Pattersons in this story for me to follow coherently. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 10:26 2
  - ik, r? -- nm - Diva Oct 11, 10:33
  - it probably took her a year to learn how to spell Peterson, so she did not want to stray too far. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 10:28
- just fucking awful. I can not even imagine that poor kids last hours. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 10:21
- *reconsiders his reconsideration of his previous reconsidering* -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 10:18 1
  - SO easy. ;) -- nm - Jim Oct 11, 10:19
kilbo's wife is his first girlfriend in a wig! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Oct 11, 10:12 1
- Is her name Kristen? -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 10:16
I wonder how much last night's poor tv ratings were attributable to the fact that New York and Chicago had a football game. -- nm - pmb Oct 11, 10:06
I wonder if there's only a certain amount of QB talent from the class of 2004 -- and with Rivers not sucking, Eli has been weakened? - Will Hunting Oct 11, 10:02 14
- The Giants offense plays like they're not practicing together. -- nm - David Oct 11, 10:17
- I hold him at fault for 1 of 3 last night. The pick 6 was just Randle running the wrong pattern and the 3rd was just Myers with butterfingers. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 10:06 12
  - 2 of the 3 are on him clearly. The 3rd one was very high. That woulda been a helluva catch on a shitty throw. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 10:12 7
    - The TE didn't run a deep enough pattern ont he last throw. It was more him than Eli. - David Oct 11, 10:17 5
      - I just watched the play....the TE never got touched on the play. Eli just overthrew him. - Will Hunting Oct 11, 10:21 4
        
        A touch high for sure, but no way in hell was it uncatchable. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 10:27
        
        I thought he got bumped in live action but you can see that he isn't running hard to the spot. - David Oct 11, 10:26 1
        
        Also, that XM commercial is unbearable. -- nm - David Oct 11, 10:26
        
        game = video. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 11, 10:22
    - The pic-6 was Randle running the wrong route from everything I heard. -- nm - Jim Oct 11, 10:14
  - The last ball was overthrown. It would have been a great catch for him to hold on to it. He needed to be about 6 inches taller. -- nm - pmb Oct 11, 10:08 3
    - When balls hit the hands of players who are paid to catch balls, it's the receiver's fault. -- nm - Shaun Oct 11, 10:09 2
      - Not if he can barely get his fingers on it. -- nm - pmb Oct 11, 10:10 1
        
        I agree, that was uncatchable, he leaped and it still got over his hands. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 11, 10:23
I think it's time to pull the plug on Parks & Rec. They seem to have nowhere to go. The Eagleton stuff is awkward and unfunny - prayformojo Oct 11, 10:01 2
- they explained his weight loss in the first episode, and his haitus. - groiny Oct 11, 10:25
- I wasn't a fan of much of the stuff last night, but they cleaned it up quickly (spoils) - Will Hunting Oct 11, 10:04

Guys, Ann wants to know if she can have a custom text message tone on her phone. She's android. She can, right? Thanks for not making us google. -- nm - spellbinding thriller Oct 11, 09:26 18

- Like, custom for each person? No, you cannot (at least on stock). - spamlet Oct 11, 09:28 7
  - sure you can. Edit the contact and you can set a custom rington, message alert and vibration pattern -- nm - decline Oct 11, 09:32 5
    - Not on stock. It's just ringtone. -- nm - spamlet Oct 11, 09:40 4
      - it does on my S3 - I'm looking at it right now -- nm - decline Oct 11, 09:43 3

        or could depend on which OS release -- nm - zork Oct 11, 09:56

- Most androids, at least. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:27 4
  - Same sound for all, or a custom tone for a single ender? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:28 3
    - Single. She has an s3. -- nm - spellbinding thriller Oct 11, 09:29 2
      - Calls from a person, yes. Texts, no. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:31 1
        
        Belay that. See decline's post above. She might be able to set custom ringtone and message alert for each contact. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 11, 09:46

      - The way ST raved about it I wanted it but she assured me it would put me to sleep, which is bad as I listen while driving. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 09:32 4
        
        She's right. I'm shocked by how boring it is. -- nm - David Oct 11, 09:36 3
