my friend in Belleville (my hometown) was just part of a 'pay it forward' line at a local take out restaurant. - Andie Dec 6, 11:08 5
- Nice, had that happen to me at Tim's once. All the staff couldn't believe how long it was lasting - J Dec 6, 11:37
- the thing with these is that most people feel they should continue it, so all that happens is that the first person pays for the eventual person who c - zork Dec 6, 11:17 1
  - but it makes a lot of people smile in between (i imagine it stops when there is noone behind you.) -- nm - Andie Dec 6, 11:21

    - If only. -- nm - nubby Dec 6, 11:33 1
      - I'm torn. I'd love to see you guys win, but I also want to see the ACC win a MNC. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 11:40
  - That would be amazing. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 11:19
- I'll pick the chaos scenario of Missouri and OSU. -- nm - David Dec 6, 11:07
Congrats to qale on the jerb! Mel, re ika, had to step away for a bit, with a sick kid at the doctors. - IrishStephen Dec 6, 11:07 8

I would love to see Soriano playing 2b again, it would be hilarious. - groiny Dec 6, 11:05 9
- Yeah, I like Soriano and think that would be a huge disaster. -- nm - pmb Dec 6, 11:08
- I'm just pissed that they overpaid a Red Sox player and not a Yankee. A Yankee that helped them win a title recently. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:08 7
  - *still offering to pack Ellsbury's bags* - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:13 6
    - I'm not upset about having him just about overpaying him. Who else was trying to acquire him at anything close to what we paid? Likely, no one. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:20 4
      - I could see why you wouldn't be happy as they did seem to be bidding against themselves. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:27 3
        
        Exactly. And that probably angered Cano and sent him looking for the biggest deal. - Krusty Dec 6, 11:34 2
        
        the good thing for you fans is that if any team can restock I think its the Yankees. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:40 1
        
        Sure but that's a lot of pieces. Do they just blow the $185m cap? I doubt it since they'll be able to spend even more next year if they don't. Also - Krusty Dec 6, 11:47
    - it just occurred to me that this would be a different post if it came from RC. - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:15
I miss cracking on TFox. [nm] - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:05 1

So why is Paltrow hated?? - Jovian Dec 6, 11:01 22
- Don't forget "writing cookbooks while being on a macrobiotic diet" -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 11:50
- Because people have learned nothing from Mandela's example! -- nm - con_carne Dec 6, 11:22
- It's the BO. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 6, 11:15
- she's pretenious and snobby -- nm - Epiphany Dec 6, 11:13
- Here is some of her wisdom. - Spawn Dec 6, 11:09 1
  - ahh this link answers it - Jovian Dec 6, 11:31
- she was on "Glee"... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:06 2
  - Actually...it was her stint on Glee that made me stop hating her. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 11:06 1
    - I liked her in that -- nm - prayformojo Dec 6, 11:07
- For a few people it started with her like $80 plain white t-shirt. She's said some things that makes her look out of touch with - Krusty Dec 6, 11:06
- It stems largely from being completely out of touch with what it's like to live a real life. She wrote a book about cooking/homemaking/beauty that - pmb Dec 6, 11:05 10
  - I think the perception is that Julia Roberts is wonderfully nice and deserving of her fame, J Lawrence is completely down to earth and humbled by hers - Max Dec 6, 11:28 7
    - CDAN had a blind so scathing about Julia it was creepy. And everyone thought it was about Reese until it was revealed. - Diva Dec 6, 11:39 2
      - skeletons or outrageous behavior wouldn't really surprise me about anyone, but I mean broadly, Julia's gotten the America's Sweetheart treatment - Max Dec 6, 11:48
      - spill. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:41
    - I think its more about people not liking the rich and famous when they don't appreciate just how lucky and priviledged they are. - pmb Dec 6, 11:38 1
      - it's like how the Royal Family has been perceived (less so recently) as not having any inkling of how different their lives are from commoners. - zork Dec 6, 11:42
    - I think that's right... - Mel Profit Dec 6, 11:37
    - I've heard the opposite about Julia. -- nm - Shaun Dec 6, 11:36
  - yeah, her family is hugely rich. -- nm - zork Dec 6, 11:18
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Dec 6, 11:08
- she annoys me, I would not call it hate. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 11:02

  - I would be hating life if I played a team with Drew Brees this week. He's going to go off. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 11:41 2
    - Carolina is one of only two NFL teams who has given up fewer than 10 passing TDs. -- nm - David Dec 6, 11:43 1
      - Drew Brees, at home, coming off his worst performance of the year - Strongbad Dec 6, 12:00
