- I have a really low opinion of Torontonians considering how high his approval rating is. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 06:12 15
  - at least know it is the suburbanites. the actual city of toronto never voted for him, never will. -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 06:18 14
    - Wait. Why do the suburbanites get to vote for your mayor? -- nm - ty97 Nov 6, 06:21 8
      - Toronto amalgamated 15-ish (?) years ago. So our city hall covers a much bigger area that it used to. Let me find the map that shows how the voting - Andie Nov 6, 06:22 7
        
        Sounds like Jacksonville, FL. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 06:42
        
        you can see it here... -- (link) - Andie Nov 6, 06:23 2

        Population cheaters! -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 06:23 2
        
        oh, it is technically all toronto now, on paper, but not in mindset. -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 06:24 1
        
        Like us and the Valley -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 06:25

      - When he smokes his crack, he says please and thank you -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 06:40
      - basically he's a populist reaction to the last mayor. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 06:38
      - he'll protect the suburban crack trade. -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 06:27
      - who knows what goes on in their demented little brains? they hear "i will save you money!" and that is it. -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 06:21
Worrying signs for Democrats in Virginia’s exit poll -- (link) - ty97 Nov 6, 06:06 7
- No. This stands as comment of the night: "Democrats just won a southern state in off-year election. Let's all think about that." -- nm - MDH Nov 6, 06:38
- I saw that earlier, Ezra has gone way down hill. What a hack of an article. Of course it's not the same as '12. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 06:11
- eh. turnout is always down in off years in those demographics - and it's not like McAuliffe was really that popular -- nm - decline Nov 6, 06:10
- Worst of all there are some indications that they may have accidentally elected Terry McAuliffe. -- nm - Ender Nov 6, 06:08 3
  - 'Merica! -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 06:37
  - No, that was intentional. Better than the scum of the earth he defeated. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 06:12 1

- I probably missed it, but did you wind up seeing the other place? -- nm - elf kelly Nov 6, 06:10 9
  - just last night (we saw both, back to back).... - Andie Nov 6, 06:13 8
    - I really hope crazy lady makes this relatively pain-free for you. - elf kelly Nov 6, 06:31 1
      - your IM - that is what we thought before we met her, but she isn't that old - Andie Nov 6, 06:37
    - you should let ann know. she will be thrilled. I decided not to offer on limerock even though I love it. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 06:22 5
      - i am actually planning to sent you both some detail.... -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 06:27
      - here's the house for interested parties -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 06:24 3
        
        super cute -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 06:29
        
        that's nice (it kills me that that place would cost probably $150-200K more here) -- nm - decline Nov 6, 06:29 1
        
        it is basically 100,000 less than we are offering for a condo. it kills me too. -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 06:35
I watched the office series finale last night. I know it had some rough seasons, but even the bad stuff was pretty very good. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 05:56

- yep. - mafic Nov 6, 06:00
- Penii? - Epiphany Nov 6, 05:48
- analyses -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 05:47 1
  - Correct. Pronounced Anala-sees. I had no guess. -- nm - volnelk Nov 6, 05:51
- I think so? - elf kelly Nov 6, 05:47

Can someone, anyone, explain to me why it is that Richie Ingocnito can leave the type of message that he left and send the texts that he sent... - Jim Nov 6, 05:08 21
- he reckoned nobody would know it was him. -- nm - mafic Nov 6, 06:03
- is there any published reporting that the behav came at the behest of the dolphins mgt? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 05:54 3
  - Kinda. I mean "toughen him up" to most people, doesn't mean threatening to shit in his mouth and slap his mother. - Jim Nov 6, 06:06 1
    - It's like none of these people watched Full Metal Jacket! -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 06:12
  - here you go... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 6, 05:57
- Because they are defending the culture of tough guys and the NFL locker room -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 05:38 15
  - This. My answer though not my opinion is that.... - volnelk Nov 6, 05:43 1
    - right - znufrii Nov 6, 05:58
  - Right. So it's ok to drop an n-bomb on your teammate because that's toughening him up. - Jim Nov 6, 05:41 12
    - The general idea is that inside the locker room/on the field is one place and outside the locker room and off the field is someplace very different -- nm - volnelk Nov 6, 05:45 11
      - I guess...but during the Cooper thing...that word was horrible and should not be used. And guys couldn't even stand the thought - Jim Nov 6, 05:47 9
        
        when/what was cooper? (I can google; can I have a first name?) -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 05:55 2
        
        Riley Cooper, WR for the Eagles, was caught berating a security guard at a concert with a racial epithet -- nm - znufrii Nov 6, 05:56 1
        
        oh, right; just recently. rock on, thanks. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 6, 05:56
        
        The difference is one is essentially to their face. Players were mad at Cooper b/c it was more "this is how he really feels about us". But I agree... - volnelk Nov 6, 05:54 5
        
        Actually, the media has been pretty consistent on these stories...unless it's an ex-player. It's the players that seem to be ok with this - Jim Nov 6, 06:00 4
        
        because they see it as just part of their culture - znufrii Nov 6, 06:04 3
        
        You realize, of course, that this makes no sense. Right? nm - Jim Nov 6, 06:07 2
        
        It's certainly not consistent. - Kim Pine Nov 6, 06:32 1
        
        Yes, this. nm - Jim Nov 6, 06:44
      - I'm wondering which part of that was extoriting 15k. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 05:47
According to exit polls, Sarvis voters preferred McAuliffe over Cuccinelli -- (link) - ty97 Nov 6, 04:54 2
- Wow, McAuliffe won single women by 42 points. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 6, 05:07 1
  - *this* will be the single bell ringing statistic -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 6, 11:31
"Lochte hurts knee after run-in with teen girl" Now THAT is a fairly deceptive headline. -- nm - volnelk Nov 6, 04:53
Also...WM has ika mail. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 04:40
Deadspin commenter: "You can only bring Chris Farley back for one sketch: Richie Incognito or Rob Ford?" -- nm - nubby Nov 6, 04:40 9
- Incognito is more socially relevent, challenging, and bullying is a far more wide spread issue in our culture, they should take it on -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 6, 11:30
- Rob Ford easy -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 04:41 7
  - agreed. If you bring Farley back for Ford it plays right into what Farley was best at. - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:13 5
    - Wouldn't you think Farley would also have done quite a but of time as Chris Christie? -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 05:31 1
      - absolutely. His outlandish personality would have been fodder for Chris Farley. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:37
    - I'm not kidding, I really thought at the start of the conference yesterday that he was going to headbutt the microphone. -- nm - Reagen Nov 6, 05:17 2
      - I'm going to have to watch this, aren't I? -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:23 1
        
        Yes -- nm - Epiphany Nov 6, 05:57
  - all Ford needs to do is move into a van down by the river and he is Chris Farley -- nm - Beaker Nov 6, 04:41
Just read the overnight Dolphin's news and that dude on Twitter doing "A Few Good Men" jokes... - Mel Profit Nov 6, 04:39
Olivia Coleman is back for season 2 of Broadchurch, but won't be in the US version. -- (link) - LMS Nov 6, 03:22 5
- nice -- nm - Remlik Nov 6, 05:42
- I don't think I can take another season and I don't plan on watching the American version. - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:25 2
  - It was very good, but yeah, the last episode was a gut punch -- nm - amoxy Nov 6, 05:27 1
    - I think the last half of the season where (spoilers) - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:40
- awshum! -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 04:00

1 ticket in each raffle - Reagen Nov 5, 21:33 10
- oh - and bend the corner of the tickets ... unless they say it would DQ you - I have no scientific proof - but believe when one corner is bent and - JenBro Nov 6, 04:12
- If prizes are equal, this. If prizes are weighted, two in the best nine with two given to strangers to place randomly without my knowledge. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 5, 22:30
- no tickets in the raffle with the crappy prize -- nm - peglegpete Nov 5, 21:45
- Degenerative gamblers syndrome ... odds decrease upon each successive play. What casinos bank on -- nm - budice Nov 5, 21:40 3
  - as Max described this, these are 20 discrete events - Reagen Nov 6, 05:17 1
    - Exactly. If all your tickets are in one drawing, they pull 1 and you're done. So, you have 1 chance to win. Put a ticket in every raffle and you - Jim Nov 6, 06:30
  - Indeed. By the time of that last raffle his odds will have dropped to practically 0/20000. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 5, 21:44
- But what are your odds of winning a goat? nm - ralph wiggum Nov 5, 21:37 1
  - Dewey would know. - Mel Profit Nov 6, 05:15
- So you're saying, this should be Andie's strategy -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 21:34
I *strenuously* object to the fact that I haven't seen this done yet. - Beryllium Nov 5, 21:23 2
- Also, someone needs to go into the imdb quotes system and reorder the A Few Good Men quotes chronologically. i think it's the entire script. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 21:33 1
  - Its most of Jack Nickolson's monologue...any one else's? -- nm - Thanksgeisting Nov 5, 23:13
