It doesn't matter how hot I am, no way I'm getting out of that speeding ticket this morning. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 09:12
Today's My Coke Reward's gift card is $25 for Nike. - Kim Pine Dec 3, 09:10 4
- whoa -- nm - Epiphany Dec 3, 09:15
- 600 points? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 3, 09:12
- how many points? -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 09:12

do we like this cheeseboard? -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 3, 09:00 10
- For $55...that thing would just piss me off...too small. I'd spend all night refilling it. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 09:15
- meh -- nm - CQ Dec 3, 09:07
- lol. I read that as chessboard and was like WTF! -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 09:03
- I don't love it, seems very big and too much stuff for something like that. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 09:02
- honestly, it seems like overkill. i would prefer just a plain board with separate knives (without the drawer) -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 09:01 4
  - what about if you were sash and constantly lost things? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 3, 09:03 2
    - i still think she'll lose the knives. -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 09:03 1
      - kitcheny gift idea? maybe an herb keeper? -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 3, 09:15
  - you said this better than I. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 09:02
- I like it, but the surface looks a little small for the amount of cheese I'd probably want to put on it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 09:01
Our freezer has been on the fritz since the weekend. Sunday it stopped working for a while. We moved the meats into a cooler and hoped for the best. - elf kelly Dec 3, 08:57 12
- do not refreeze, I would be skeptical of eating it. our fridge died earlier this year, and we were quick to get ice and put meats etc in the cooler - Don Homer Dec 3, 09:00 6
  - word -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:09
  - this -- nm - Epiphany Dec 3, 09:09
  - Crap. - elf kelly Dec 3, 09:05 3
    - just cook all the meat and refreeze it. -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 09:07 1
      - yeah, this is what i would do. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 3, 09:15
    - ah. yeah, ours died *very* quickly. some warning light came on and then two hours later the whole freezer side - Don Homer Dec 3, 09:07
- you can't refreeze raw meat, right? but you can cook it then freeze it after it's cooked. -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 09:00 1
  - I think this is correct...to be sure, make sure you give that meat to Will when you cook it. His stomach can take anything -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 09:02
- I'll be right there -- nm - groiny si Dec 3, 08:59 2
  - you really do not know me at all. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 09:04 1
    - I rushed the joke and should've used Will -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 09:04
Here is something better than the Thanksgiving fraud nonsense on Buzzfeed. -- (link) - David Dec 3, 08:56
ML, at least one of your Astro facts is wrong. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 3, 08:53 7
- [deleted] 6
  - well the main reason is that the "record book" only goes back through the 2011 season. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:59 5
    - So, largest margin of victory in the past 3 seasons. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 3, 09:04 1
      - I know I put up a massive score against Jim, like 197 vs something something but I can't recall what he had. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 09:18
    - [deleted] 2
      - Unsurprisingly, if you pay them, they'll make older records available. -- nm - nubby Dec 3, 09:15
      - yeah, very lame. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 09:03
FWIW last night's Ripper Street was amazing (s2 ep6). Mild spoilers - LMS Dec 3, 08:52
movie grade - The East, B. I really, really enjoyed this - seemed a bit different than the norm. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 3, 08:49 1
- I forgot I also watched Flight this weekend (finally) : B+ -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 08:53
that Russell Wilson kid is pretty good -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 08:46 6
- Meh, he's too short. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 3, 08:56
- 10-14 years good though? -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:51 3
  - I'd take him over RG3 at this point no question -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 08:52 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Foles? Really? After 6 games? Wilson is #1 by a wide margin....Luck and RG3 are at best tied through 26 games - Will Hunting Dec 3, 09:04
- [deleted]
*The* Jemile Weeks? - Will Hunting Dec 3, 08:42 2
- it was a salary dump plain and simple. can easily find a closer just as effective for far less money. I understand they will be pursuing some bats - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:45
- he had a real nice season 2 years ago. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:42
Source: Red Sox to sign catcher Pierzynski -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 08:38 3
- great. just what this town needs. another a-hole. -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 08:53 2
  - he was pretty well liked here, to be honest. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:55 1
    - good. -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 08:57
I don't mind the concept of 'Giving Tuesday'. It's a helpful reminder to me to budget for charitable giving in the midst of all the consumerism. - Diva Dec 3, 08:33 19
- *starts planning to promote "Not Giving a Sh!t About Anything Wednesday" for next year* - znufrii Dec 3, 08:44 1
  - *Sponsored by Cheezits and Znu's Couch* -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 08:50
- agreed. It's a good reminder for the reason you just mentioned. - Mel Profit Dec 3, 08:39 7
  - me too - Diva Dec 3, 08:41 6
    - If I give too will you stop crying!? -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 3, 09:01 1
      - ha! -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 09:05
    - i actually haven't done my annual thing, so i'm glad this came up to remind me. - Andie Dec 3, 08:44 3
      - see, watch this commercial (sniff) -- (link) - Andie Dec 3, 08:47 2
        
        na ga da it. - G HW Bush si Dec 3, 08:49 1
        
        you will (but it's happy tears) -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 08:50
- Yep, I'd be more prone to be bother by Black Friday or Cyber Monday (though neither of those bothers me in general either) -- nm - ty97 Dec 3, 08:37 8
  - Oh, I'm also bothered by Cyber Monday and Small Business Saturday. - Ender Dec 3, 08:57 4
    - Fair enough. As I said, none of it really bothers me, but I appreciate this as an offset -- nm - ty97 Dec 3, 09:05
    - *nods* - znufrii Dec 3, 09:03 2
      - Plus it's not even alliterative! They could have at least gone with "Tax-deductible Tuesday". -- nm - Ender Dec 3, 09:06 1
        
        right? -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 09:07
  - me too, exactly. this year, really for the first time, the consumerism is truly bugging me. - Andie Dec 3, 08:41 1
    - I'm trying to do this as well. (then again, I try to do this every year.) -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 08:42
  - ik, r? none of this stuff bothers me. -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 08:39
Huh. I'd just assumed that Christmas in Conway was set in Arkansas, not where I work. - nubby Dec 3, 08:33
Gotta love this recap: "SHA Puts the Kibosh on Cavallari Un-Scorned, Drops Them into Eighth Place" - oblique Dec 3, 08:32
NYC Mayor's office touts increased SAT scores on Twitter. Says "With more NYC students taking the tests, you'd expect the average score to drop." - ty97 Dec 3, 08:28 3
- my first impression is that it's not all due to population increases, but expanded access as well? - znufrii Dec 3, 08:32 2
  - right. exactly. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:46
  - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:34
the water you're drinking was once dinosaur pee. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 3, 08:23
That note-passing Thanksgiving flight saga? Hoax -- (link) - ty97 Dec 3, 08:23 5
- Elan, - amoxy Dec 3, 08:31
- Fuck you, Elan. -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:29
- I'll never trust a producer of The Bachelorette again! -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 08:24
- Well, I'm glad. And for the double-hoax, too. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 08:24 1
  - (For it not being true, I mean.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 08:25
SCOTUS ducks the online sales tax question....again. -- (link) - spamlet Dec 3, 08:20
Look at Boston growing up and shit: "MBTA to start late-night weekend service in 2014" -- (link) - ty97 Dec 3, 08:18 3
- Diva and I were pretty happy about this and then we realized... - Mel Profit Dec 3, 09:03
- because it worked out so well the last time they tried it? -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 08:54 1
  - that was busses only I thought. This is actual subways. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 3, 08:59
I expect Hughes to do pretty well in Minnesota. That park is much better for him with all the flyballs he gives up. I don't think he'll ever be - Krusty Dec 3, 08:18
Most sincere congratulations to Samara on her 13-0 season. That's amazing. - Was Bar Was Dec 3, 08:16 15
- Gentlemen, to evil! -- nm - David Dec 3, 08:51
- congrats samara, now win the playoffs or its for naught! (vampirates apparently needs much better competition.) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:47
- [deleted] 9
  - 1282.90 - Krusty Dec 3, 08:26 8
    - she will have some nice trade bait in the offseason as well -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 08:37
    - Who was on her team? -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:32 4
      - Kaep, Jeffery, Bryant, Lacy, McCoy, Graham, V. Davis, Z. Stacy, Garcon, Dobson and Carolina D to name the best. -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:36 3
        
        Wow. To think she did that with Kaep. makes it even more impressive. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:37 2
        
        Cutler too. -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:41 1
        
        Ah, that makes more sense then. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:45
    - [deleted] 1
      - She had a very nice season. The playoffs are a crap shoot but she'll be hard to beat. - Krusty Dec 3, 08:33
- Wow. That is amazing. And here I was happy with finally having a 12-1. Congrats to the succubus!!! -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:20
- Kelly....You know what you have to do. Channel the inner Belichek. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 3, 08:20
- Yup. She had an impressive regular season. Well done, Samara! -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:19
IMO, Mike Tomlin should be suspended one or two games. - Inigo Dec 3, 08:16
[deleted] 18
- Did Richardson stop calling you after, or something? Cause you seem to have an obsession. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 08:53 2
  - heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Dec 3, 09:26
  - *nods* -- nm - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:54
- I vaguely recall the ST reaction after the trade was that Indy made a great move. - Don Homer Dec 3, 08:48 4
  - I was heavily in favor of the deal and I would still probably prefer Richardson to whomever is selected at that draft spot. - David Dec 3, 08:53 2
    - Knowshon's an excellent example. -- nm - Jim Dec 3, 09:03 1
      - word -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 09:08
  - 99% of people thought the same -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 08:53
- Irsay thought he was doing another Edgerin James-like trade, and I can't blame him for that. I'm still giving Trent a pass for this year - Remlik Dec 3, 08:17 7
  - [deleted] 2
    - well I'm almost to that point. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 08:35 1
      - Yeah, giving him until a game or two into the next season to asses. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:38
  - Running backs don't need massive playbook help. Run left, hit the hole...run right, hit the hole....run up the middle, hit the hole - Will Hunting Dec 3, 08:21 2
    - true. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 08:36
    - DeAngelo Williams, too. Still, none of those guys had running backs on the same team fairing far better than them. - Inigo Dec 3, 08:24
  - Edge was just Indy's first round draft pick, I thought. No trade was involved there, AFAIK. - Inigo Dec 3, 08:20
- not sure Indy knows what to do with a real RB -- nm - budice Dec 3, 08:16 1
  - our new Offensive Coordinator sucks ass. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 08:18
Who has received their stalker packages? (I know it's early...) -- nm - elf kelly Dec 3, 08:11 10
- wrapped and ready to send....not received yet...but hey, we're slackers we'll get around it eventually -- nm - ruddy the red nosed zeitgeist Dec 3, 13:43
- not sent/not received - will be buying stuff this weekend to ship next week -- nm - JenBro Dec 3, 09:14
- I am still trying to come up with something for my stalkee. - groiny Dec 3, 08:40
- neither sent, nor received. i have ordered my stalkee's gift, and it is en route to me. *waiting*. -- nm - Andie Dec 3, 08:39 1
  - have you not learned your lesson with getting shit shipped to you? -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:42
- the one I sent was received. nada yet for me :) -- nm - CQ Dec 3, 08:29
- not sent, not received -- nm - Epiphany Dec 3, 08:27
- Received! Almost ready to send. -- nm - Meg Dec 3, 08:20
- Neither received or sent -- nm - amoxy Dec 3, 08:20
- Received and sent. -- nm - LMS Dec 3, 08:16
[deleted] 2
- Huskies... or Redskins? -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:05 1
  - Yes, Washington has always had that mistaken identity thing goin' on . . . -- nm - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Dec 3, 08:13
[deleted] 3
- You're building a medieval castle? - Meg Dec 3, 08:09
- *plays brown note* -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 3, 08:00
- Crap Shoot! -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:00
Not sure if I endorse or not, but this is a interesting view on conscientious objection vis a vis the Hobby Lobby birth control lawsuit -- (link) - ty97 Dec 3, 07:58 3
- I don't see the difference between money spent by an employer on health insurance and money spent on salary. Employees can spend their salary - Roger More Dec 3, 08:30
- well said. -- nm - znufrii Dec 3, 08:09
- That's exactly how I view it. -- nm - TWuG Dec 3, 08:02
