A quote from Colts GM, Ryan Grigson, via The Indianapolis Star. "We don't win 12 games this year if Trent Richardson isn't here. That's a fact." -- nm - Remlik Jan 17, 09:41 3

- Mop? -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:41 1
  - I'm never going to fault Remlik for mopping because I'm pretty sure he's on a phone all day and searching is a pain. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 09:48
thousands of fish are flash frozen in a Norway bay -- (link) - zork Jan 17, 09:29 1
- /~'Let it go...'~'/ -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 10:03
Beth Behrs touches Kat Dennings' boob on Conan -- (link) - zork Jan 17, 09:26 5
- I would imagine that happens a lot. How could it not? -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:32 4
  - The fact that she points it out, and then Conan goes nuts makes it worth it, but yeah. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:36
  - They're big enough that at any given moment you have a 30% chance of being within touching distance. -- nm - Ender Jan 17, 09:36 2
    - this. and think about how many times they are photographed together and shots are set with them being close. - Diva Jan 17, 09:38 1
      - Oh, you mean Beth Behrs in particular. Then the chance skyrockets to 99%. -- nm - Ender Jan 17, 10:43
Why SNL must kill Drake -- (link) - zork Jan 17, 09:25 1
- LOL. Shia Labeofu got shot in that SNL skit. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 09:45
Everyone should just agree that if they are being shot for a magazine, they demand instant download of the raw images at the studio. -- nm - Max Jan 17, 09:23 2
- Yup. "My people will touch them up and get them back to you." -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:25 1
  - That would never work. But maybe it should be mandatory to link to un-retouched photos. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 09:27
Sources: All-Star pitcher Jordan Zimmermann avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a two-year, $24 million contract with the Washington Nationals -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:21
State Hate: Which State is your State's enemy? -- (link) - Beaker Jan 17, 09:14 36
- Vermont and New Hampshire, mutual enemies. totally. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:26
- "Texas: Everyone" Sounds about right. -- nm - GregW Jan 17, 09:24 1
  - yup -- nm - Epiphany Jan 17, 09:45
- California? I would have guessed Texas, not sure why though. I don't hate other states. - Krusty Jan 17, 09:19 11
  - norcal/socal have too much of a civil war to bother about any other state, the world revolves around them -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 17, 13:43
  - Texas isn't competition in the way that California is. (At least, from NYC's perspective) -- nm - Roger More Jan 17, 09:47
  - I was sure it would be NJ. Or FL for stealing all our white trash. - ty97 Jan 17, 09:36 1
    - Jersey would make some sense. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 09:37
  - New York writers often have a hatey boner or disdain for CA/LA. I don't think that's any kind of secret - con_carne Jan 17, 09:32 4
    - yep -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:40
    - You may be right about that. I've read things like you've mentioned. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 09:37
    - agreed. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:33 1
      - Also, it's not like we work that hard to dispel those stereotypes. I don't think we care that much - con_carne Jan 17, 09:40
  - California would have been my pick. LA, yuck! -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:21 1
    - I have no issues with them. Texas feels like the anti-New York to me. -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 09:24
- Virgina - Maryland. yep. hate Maryland drivers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:18 4
  - The reason you hate MD drivers is because we are used to functioning roads, which your state doesn't seem to have :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 17, 09:29 1
    - The reason I hate them is they have no concept of the alternate merge or letting someone into a lane. - loosilu Jan 17, 09:31
  - I used to think I hated a lot of Illinois drivers and then I realized that a lot of rental cars here have Illinois plates. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:20 1
    - well I was driving in Maryland so I assume they were from there. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:21
- Illinois - New York? -- nm - spamlet Jan 17, 09:17 7
  - (Chicago / NYC) -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:18 5
    - Not from the Chicago side. No one cares. - spamlet Jan 17, 09:23 4
      - Oh, I disagree. They pretend to not care, but the Napoleon complex I experienced while I was there was so telling. -- nm - ty97 Jan 17, 09:34 1
        
        Yes,it's like Boston/NY. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:42
      - NYC doesn't remember Chicago is there. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:24 1
        
        Yup. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 17, 09:26
  - [deleted]
- Wait, Indiana hates Illionois but Kentucky hates Indiana? No. Indiana hates Kentucky. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:16 7
  - I did like (Park and Recs spoiler) - Roger More Jan 17, 09:49
  - maybe you just hate everyone. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:18 5
    - I do not hate Illinois. I hardly even remember it is there! - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:19 3
      - I like Columbus a lot. However, Cinti and Cleveland have both tried to kill me more than once. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:34 2
        
        I am basically not allowed to enter Cleveland anymore. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:45 1
        
        This really is for the greater good. In my case, it would only end in tears. Again. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:49
    - word -- nm - Dirty Harry Jan 17, 09:19
holy shit, flights to Vegas got expensive. nm -- nm - Kool Aid Man Jan 17, 09:12

  - [deleted] 5
    - Guess he has a lot of work to do, then. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:11 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Yeah but being in Minnesota more than makes up for that out, though. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:12 1

    - I thought Don retired? -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:11
Has anyone watched The Bachelor? - Beaker Jan 17, 09:07 2
- My wife is watching it, but she didn't tell me that story. I'll ask her. She doesn't seem to into it this season. -- nm - CQ Jan 17, 09:15
- No. -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:08
I'm surprised by the drop in ratings for Duck Dynasty. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jan 17, 09:02 12
- Everyone who watches already had seen all existing episodes 43 times by the time the controversy got going. Wait until new eps start to check ratings. -- nm - zork Jan 17, 09:24 2
  - They did start. Down 3.3M from the last season premier. -- nm - MDH Jan 17, 09:29 1
    - really? wow, that is indeed shocking. -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:31
- Don't judge me: I watched about 20mins of that Appalachian Mountain dudes show on History (spoilers) - Mel Profit Jan 17, 09:16 7
  - One thing is for certain...I gotta grow me some ginseng root -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:32 3
    - a tote sack full of gensang won't pay no traveling bills -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 17, 13:46
    - "I'm gonna catch me a poacher and take him out back behind the saw mills..." -- nm - Maritime Appalachian Outlaws si Jan 17, 09:48
    - you better get a rifle and learn how to improvise calmores then. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 17, 09:42
  - every time I hear the music for this I think Justified is coming on -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:17 2
    - this - somebody else rappin' about the damn Holler. ffs. - Diva Jan 17, 09:25
    - ditto. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 17, 09:18
- I mean, it is a quality show. - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:07
I'd be really amused if the unretouched photos ended up looking better. It's happened before. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 17, 08:59 13
- what are the chances in this case? -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 08:59 1
  - nil -- nm - Captain Trips Jan 17, 09:00
- [deleted] 10
  - how bad? -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 08:59 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - not that drastic. they really do have great photoshoppers. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:11 7
        
        they really didn't completely alter it, like they can. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 09:24
        
        What's actually interesting to me is how crappy the unaltered images are generally. The color and lighting seems poor. Even the focus doesn't seem - pmb Jan 17, 09:14 5
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Jan 17, 09:19
        
        yeah, wouldn't it make more sense to take good pictures? -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:19 3
        
        I guess it doesn't matter when you can fix it all and improve it with photoshop, but honestly those pictures look like they could be taken by anyone. - pmb Jan 17, 09:25 1
        
        I guess it is cheaper to shop it than to spend the money on the set. -- nm - loosilu Jan 17, 09:27
        
        That's my policy. - Beryllium Jan 17, 09:24
Missouri bill would allow execution by firing squad as a way to fix the issue with getting execution drugs -- (link) - spamlet Jan 17, 08:55 6
- seriously, if people can just fall asleep and die peacefully accidentally in their cars, why can't they use that basic process? -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 08:58 3
  - We do have the gas chamber as well, but I think people violently twitch and yell so it's harder on the witnesses. - spamlet Jan 17, 08:59 2
    - right, but that isn't necessary either. there is a way to do this without pain and suffering. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 09:01 1
      - that's what the drugs are for, but the drug makers are starting to block states from using their drugs. - spamlet Jan 17, 09:06

- I got nothing. -- nm - CQ Jan 17, 09:14
- I have nothing....how'd that happen?? -- nm - Meg Jan 17, 09:14 3
  - we know you've cleared your calendar in order to take time to 'settle some scores' and don't want it documented anywhere. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:16 2
    - There is that shipment of "truck parts" she's expecting. - Mel Profit Jan 17, 09:43 1

  - woo-hoo!!! -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:05
  - Hoooo. Sounds smart. Where from? -- nm - Guigue Jan 17, 09:00 9
    - Poutineville - mainly because I'll be arriving in the late evening and it's close to the apartment. - Roger More Jan 17, 09:02 8
      - more and more restos in Boston are now doing poutine and chicken & waffles. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:09 2
        
        I'm not sure I hold with gourmet versions of poutine. It's not a dish that needs to be elevated. -- nm - Roger More Jan 17, 09:16 1
        
        I'm seeing basic and variations being offered. I don't understand how you can improve on the salty, creamy savory artery-hardening goodness. -- nm - Diva Jan 17, 09:18
      - Trying to convince the GF to do the same... Not looking good... ;) -- nm - Guigue Jan 17, 09:09
      - The one on Ontario? That's like 2 minutes from my place! :) -- nm - Guigue Jan 17, 09:08 3
        
        That's the one. I thought you were north of Parc LaFontaine? -- nm - Roger More Jan 17, 09:10 2
        
        I moved. On Sherbrooke, at the corner of Panet -- nm - Guigue Jan 17, 09:11 1
        
        Even closer than you were. (Unfortunately I've moved back to Toronto, so there'll be fewer opportunities for me to run into you) -- nm - Roger More Jan 17, 09:43
