Gasp! Obamacare injustice! Father tells NY Post and Fox News that exchange would cover 3 of his children, but not his 18-month-old daughter! -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 10, 08:08 3
- the first 3 kids were born to radical feminist lesbian crack hoes, the last one to his married xian bride and she has a job that should cover it -- nm - ruddy the red nosed zeitgeist Dec 10, 13:39

Ok ST - Need your help. I'm having a Morgan Freeman impersonator record a phone tree script and have the chance to get a new voicemail message. - colin Dec 10, 07:46 5
- Spying on colin is not part of my job description. Please leave a message. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 07:56
- I wish I could tell you that Colin was here to take your call. I wish I could tell you that, but this is no fairy tale world. -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 07:51 2
  - this is good -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:54
  - i like this. -- nm - colin Dec 10, 07:53
- ~believe it or not Colin and x aren't at home leave a message at the beep, they must be out or they'd pick up the phone, where could they be - Beaker Dec 10, 07:49
Just finished reading the article about the homeless family in NYC that ty posted yesterday. god that is depressing. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 10, 07:43
Mike Shanahan just pooped on Dan Snyder's front porch - Beaker Dec 10, 07:40 3
- he is funny, he just does not give a shit. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:41 1
  - he's a honey badger. -- nm - samara Dec 10, 07:49
- and set it on fire. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 07:40
"Troopers say South Carolina star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney was ticketed for going 110 mph in a 70 mph zone on a South Carolina interstate." - David Dec 10, 07:36 50
- And, it should be noted that he was pulled over at like 7:30pm. So, it wasn't even a 3am trip home from the strip club. - Jim Dec 10, 07:46 13
  - that makes it even worse IMO. Much more traffic at 7:30 than 3:30. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:47 12
    - Not to me. It just means he was a kid doing something stupid. - Jim Dec 10, 07:51 11
      - I guess I am just in the camp of "you will be set for 2 lifetimes, as long as you don't fuck it up" - groiny Dec 10, 07:55 8
        
        seriously. like hernandez: all you have to do is not kill anyone. or roethlisberger: all you have to do is wear a helmet. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 07:57 1
        
        right, it is certainly a culture thing. They are never held accountable for shit. - groiny Dec 10, 07:58
        
        These guys live their lives as alphas. They are invincible. You start making them change their lives and it can effect all kinds of stuff. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:57 5
        
        because it is too much to ask them not to drive 110 in a 70? - groiny Dec 10, 08:01 4
        
        right. I was stupid, and lucky. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:03
        
        As has been said, the average on this highway is 90. This is not as excessive as it sounds. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:02 2
        
        does the sign on the highway say 90? - groiny Dec 10, 08:04 1
        
        Like that matters to someone his age, o the average driver for that matter. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 08:20
      - And at least he was doing it on a highway. I admit, the ones that get nailed for 60 in a 30 are far worse to me. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:55 1
        
        Yeah, I'm guessing this was I-95 in South Carolina. People fly on that road. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 07:56
- what the hell is wrong with these people? -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:37 35
  - I used to have a lead foot and even I think that's fast. -- nm - David Dec 10, 07:44 5
    - I'm not sure I've ever fine that fast. close, but not quite -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 07:59 4
      - I've gone 100 in a VW Rabbit. I did, however, quickly realize how stupid that was. -- nm - David Dec 10, 08:04 3
        
        I mean, fitting into a Rabbit in the first place... -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:09 2
        
        I was like 5'6" at the time. -- nm - David Dec 10, 08:11 1
        
        see, all that speed stretched you out. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 08:13
  - In a 70, that is not really *that* much. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:39 3
    - Yeah, it's only half again more than the speed limit. -- nm - TWuG Dec 10, 07:42 2
      - Yeah, something like 90 in a 55? -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:43 1
        
        Yeah, it ain't no big thing driving so fast you can't possibly react to another driver getting in your way. No big thing at all. -- nm - TWuG Dec 10, 07:58
  - That was me when I was younger, and I often wonder the same thing. - Jelly Dec 10, 07:38
  - Cause I'm sure you never topped 100 on the highway when you were a kid? -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 07:38 23
    - I was never going to be a first round pick in the NFL. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:40 22
      - Bah...the fact that this is even a story is giving it too much attention. - Jim Dec 10, 07:42 21
        
        Agreed. Speeding is wrong, and I'm glad he was caught. It won't affect his draft status, or my opinion of him. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 07:44 6
        
        speeding *that* much, at least. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 07:46
        
        I am more concerned with risking injury if he crashes at that speed than the draft status. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:45 4
        
        He is in greater danger every time he takes the field. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:46 3
        
        but, he has to take the field, because that is where the money is coming from. - groiny Dec 10, 07:47 2
        
        Not yet. The funny thing is, this thread reads like you think he is the only one to do this. - Spawn Dec 10, 07:48 1
        
        I am sure that is true, and they are all stupid. - groiny Dec 10, 07:49
        
        yeah, it's not like he was a) drunk b) could hire someone to drive him. Kids to stupid stuff and are usually in a rush -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:44
        
        maybe, but I would think you have a huge payday coming up, why risk anything hurting that? - groiny Dec 10, 07:43 12
        
        Meh. Most football players are adrenaline rush junkies. If the worest he's doing is going 110 on a road where most average 90.. - Inigo Dec 10, 07:54 7
        
        again, I think you misunderstand my issue with him speeding. - groiny Dec 10, 07:56 6
        
        I get it, but I think you misunderstand the mentality of a football player. - Inigo Dec 10, 08:02 5
        
        I sure do know the mentality. And that mentality is wrong. - groiny Dec 10, 08:07
        
        understanding the mentality behind the behavior doesn't make it not bone-headed stupid. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 08:04 3
        
        It is stupid, but it's not as easy to just sit at home, and wait for the paycheck as groiny thinks. - Inigo Dec 10, 08:10 1
        
        now, I am certainly NOT saying to sit at home and wait for a paycheck. - groiny Dec 10, 08:13
        
        I agree with znu. (wait. what?!) -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 08:07
        
        I don't get it either. Unless these guys are truly fucking stupid. Look at Von Miller and Aldon Smith. Idiots. -- nm - Shaun Dec 10, 07:46 1
        
        at least those guys got their money already. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:46
        
        By that philosophy he should never even go in a car or airplane. - Spawn Dec 10, 07:44 1
        
        for 10 million dollars, I will live is a fuckign bubble. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:45
Hey Will...what did you think of the Voice last night? (spoils) - Jim Dec 10, 07:36 20
- I think my top 3 go (spoils) - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:45 1
  - I think Adam needs to stop giving (spoils, I guess) - Jim Dec 10, 07:57
- I will be crushed if Will is voted out. - kelly Dec 10, 07:41 17
  - He's actually my favorite...but I can't ignore what TessAnne did last night. - Jim Dec 10, 07:43 16
    - I think Will's my favorite performer of the group, but he's not the best - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:45 13
      - Yep. Still, I can't shake the thought that Cole is going to win the whole thing. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 07:47 3
        
        If he wins this year, I really think I might be done with it. Blake's votes are just too much then - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:48 2
        
        Cole shouldn't still be there, IMO. Matthew should have been in the top 5. Cee-Lo and Blake should have both been spectators last night -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 07:50 1
        
        Right, My only question for Cole at this point is last week, should James or him have gone... - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:52
      - Yeah, Will's my favorite but Tessanne is a close second. - kelly Dec 10, 07:47 8
        
        She might...I wasn't thrilled with what Xtina did with her this week. - Jim Dec 10, 07:49 7
        
        I hate that song anyway, so I'm not sure I would have been a fan even if Tessanne was performing it... -- nm - kelly Dec 10, 08:02
        
        She wasn't annoying me much early in the year, but now, I hate her again - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:51 5
        
        She's in love with the sound of her own voice. -- nm - kelly Dec 10, 08:05
        
        Will...she's skinny again and must have an album coming out. - Jim Dec 10, 07:52 3
        
        I wonder if CeeLo is pissed or something; they've barely gone to him the last 2 weeks. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:58 2
        
        I don't know. Maybe it's because when they do go to him he says 1 of 2 things... - Jim Dec 10, 08:00 1
        
        Yeah, I like Shakira and Usher more than the 2 they swap with. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 08:09
    - She's Judith Hill with personality. - kelly Dec 10, 07:45 1
      - She is what I wanted Judith Hill to be. Indeed. She was great, but had no passion in what she was doing. TessAnne has it in spades. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 07:46
Jack Reacher sequel being fast-tracked -- (link) - Beaker Dec 10, 07:36 2
- Carrie's been reading these books lately. She really likes them. -- nm - Jim Dec 10, 07:36 1
  - the books are great, still haven't seen the movie though -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 07:39
Actor Ian McKellen says the British government has advised him not to go to Russia because of the country's anti-gay "propaganda" law. -- (link) - Beaker Dec 10, 07:31 2
- I would have advised him not to go to Russia because it's fucking Russia. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 07:41 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 07:46
Props to groiny's BF team. With the Bears' explosion of offence last night, he overcame the -25 DEF penalty and still won. - Shaun Dec 10, 07:29 1
- eh, I would have scored just over 100 points without the defense killing me..... - groiny Dec 10, 07:33
Wiggie's story sounds almost exactly like one a woman I was dating told me.. - Inigo Dec 10, 07:11 4
- its incredible to me that people just keep going and going - never thinking they are going to get caught -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 07:18 1
  - it is hard to stop when you have all this cash coming in. - groiny Dec 10, 07:29
- Poorly worded: The woman in the IM was not who I was dating. She was someone at her company. -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 07:13 1
  - I was gonna say that's odd conversatuon for a first date. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 08:01
Players the Phillies are allegedly shopping: Domonic Brown, Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Jonathan Papelbon. - David Dec 10, 07:05 13
- this is so depressing to me. I have no idea what they are doing to this team. -- nm - decline Dec 10, 08:22
- How could you overlook the real reason they've shopping them? Ryan Howard and Chase Utley? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:16 4
  - Howard has about 600 at bats over 2 seasons. He's on the Halladay path. - David Dec 10, 07:19 3
    - I will feel bad for him in 10 years when he can't get out of bed in the mornings. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:20 2
      - And is forced to watch Jayson Werth have sex with his wife. -- nm - David Dec 10, 07:21 1
        
        how can he tell what the beaver is and what is werth's beard? -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 07:25
- Domonic Brown in an interesting name on that list. - groiny Dec 10, 07:11 6
  - His UZR rating on defense put him in the bottom 5 in baseball last year. - David Dec 10, 07:17 5
    - for sure, but he is still young enough to get better. - groiny Dec 10, 07:18 4
      - He might be, but they're selling high off about 6 weeks of top-tier play - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:22 1
        
        he still has less than 2 full years of MLB at bats, I am not ready to pull the plug on him yet, however - groiny Dec 10, 07:25
      - I think that if you're 27 and bottom 5 in defense, the best case scenario is worse than average. - David Dec 10, 07:21 1
        
        If he really wanted to, he could spend the winter working on it, and could be average. - groiny Dec 10, 07:23
LIR Polyamory discussion - good points by Jim and David *spoils haaa* - Pippy Dec 10, 06:59 5
- Yep, you're pretty dead on. spoils...like anyone cares - Jim Dec 10, 07:07 4
  - I agree - last season's threesome seemed the most legit but the level of scriptedness has gone way up. Is there no real reality tv any more? - Pippy Dec 10, 07:17 3
    - tell me about it. :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 07:53
    - Assuming it is real and stuff...it just shows that no matter what your goals are and no matter - Jim Dec 10, 07:19 1
      - true that -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 07:23
Happy Birthday to miss amanda jones! -- nm - Andie Dec 10, 06:52 16
- Happy B-Day indeed! WOO -- nm - JenBro Dec 10, 08:11
- have a great day! -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 08:06
- thanks dudes and dudettes. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 10, 07:57
- What day is today? / It's mandy's birthday / A day for a birthday / lets all have some cake! -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 07:43
- *I put on my robe and birthday hat* -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 07:40
- Happy birthday mandy! -- nm - pmb Dec 10, 07:32

  - Witness! happy happy HAPPY Birthday MAJ! -- nm - Pippy Dec 10, 06:54
The strange thing about Raiders of the Lost Ark is that Harrison Ford is young. -- nm - David Dec 10, 06:45 1
- And, apparently, about 4 feet tall. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 10, 06:47
