- time to upgrade to iPhone! -- nm - Don Homer Feb 21, 07:00 4
  - i am mostly upset because *all* our reno pictures are on it, and of course, i haven't backed up. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 07:05 3

A Southern Democrat has a fever dream about turning Dixie blue. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 21, 06:51
From yesterday, figure skating spoils... - Krusty Feb 21, 06:49 5
- The actual numbers don't really matter. Giving her a score that high is as much telling the rest of the field the judges think she'd be hard to beat. -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 07:01 1
  - There are also things in the structure of the program. They kept harping on here about how jumps in the second half of the program count double. -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 07:14
- it's notorious for this. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 06:52
- the WWE wishes they could fix matches like figure skating -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 06:51
- Also... - Krusty Feb 21, 06:51
Kevin Durant is suing his ex-accountant for allowing him to deduct too much on his tax return. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 21, 06:49 7
- I would think he could argue his personal chef is a business expense though - Beaker Feb 21, 06:57 2
  - Not in the US. That's clearly a personal expense (he'd have to eat even if he wasn't a ball player). - spamlet Feb 21, 07:06
  - Yeah, I thought that as well. I could see it being allowed. -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 07:04
- someone should sue him for giving himself a shitty nickname -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 06:49 3
  - Agreed. I don't know how he could look at Durantula and Slim Reaper and NOT want either of those to stick. -- nm - volnelk Feb 21, 06:51 2
    - the Slim Reaper is awesome -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 06:52 1
      - The Servant...not so much -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 06:53

all anyone is talking about in my office is how to stream the game without IT noticing. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 06:07 6
- You should send them Beaker's CBC link below about how it's productive to watch the game at work today :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 21, 06:13 1
  - there is chatter about just getting them to unblock streaming and put it on in the boardroom... we shall see. -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 06:16
- IT is streaming it too -- nm - loosi at home Feb 21, 06:10 3
  - This. Someone in your team should have been assigned the task of "strategic partner to IT" a long time ago. -- nm - Roger More Feb 21, 06:15 2
    - That an "strategic partner to the copy center" are two essential jobs. -- nm - MDH Feb 21, 06:20 1
      - Yep, You don't want to have a transactional relationship with either one. -- nm - Roger More Feb 21, 06:41
What happened to znufrii? Looks like he hasn't been on for almost three weeks. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 21, 05:49 7
- Speaking of posters I miss, I'm assuming it's a similar "new job" situation with nubby? -- nm - Roger More Feb 21, 06:43 2
  - Yeah, I asked this the other day and got no response. He's still active on FB. Could just be a break for a bit. - Krusty Feb 21, 06:46 1
    - try searching again -- nm - con_carne Feb 21, 06:57
- new job. very small company. I'm sure it's limiting his access -- nm - decline Feb 21, 05:56 1
  - well, hope it's going well znu! try to check in on weekend or evenings! -- nm - Don Homer Feb 21, 06:01

This women's slalom course has to be pretty tough, because many aren't even finishing their run. -- nm - CQ Feb 21, 05:44 1
- So the top 30 make it through to the second run. I have no idea how many participate. 50? 60? jeeze -- nm - CQ Feb 21, 05:55
those with facebook - please click Petoskey to win the locals only project (see link) -- (link) - JenBro Feb 21, 05:43 1
- Done. -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 06:11
Proposed Kansas Bill would allow spanking by parents, caregivers and teachers that leaves marks....(link) - Walt_Disney Feb 21, 05:41 3
- The rep proposing it does not fit the stereotype I had in my head at all. -- nm - Was Bar Was Feb 21, 06:52
- How hard to you have to hit a kid to leave marks? That's crazy talk. - CQ Feb 21, 05:53
- what are their gun laws like? could a kid shoot the teacher and claim he was standing his/her ground? -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 05:44
[deleted] 1
- Teachers get your kids for 183 days. They need breaks too. -- nm - volnelk Feb 21, 05:36
Happy Friday!! -- nm - Don Homer Feb 21, 05:20

- I get that you don't necessarily need to be a smart man to be an NFL player, but fuck, how hard is it to not get arrested!?!? - Shaun Feb 21, 05:00 5
  - We talked about that during the Bengals run of arrests. Like seriously, dial a random number of anyone in town and say...... - volnelk Feb 21, 05:03 4
    - I believe that the league has partnered with Uber as another option as well -- nm - JD Feb 21, 06:28
    - Or....just use some of those hundreds of thousands of dollars to call Yellow Cab like the other drunks. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 05:53
    - or, just call a cab like anyone else should :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 05:18 1
      - exactly -- nm - CQ Feb 21, 05:33

- He's tiny. I have Simpsons figures bigger than him. He can't even hold a football at that height. -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 06:13 10
  - of the 3 main QB prospects (Manziel, Bortles, Bridgewater) Manziel has the largest hands, but is shortest. Bridgewater's hands are tiny apparently - decline Feb 21, 06:46 4

      - Bah...you'll get Ryan Mallett in a trade and LIKE IT!!! -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 06:51 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        [deleted]
  - Yeah, but how can someone ever legally tackle him at that height? - Inigo Feb 21, 06:15 1
    - And he's likely to get crushed to death. He chose the wrong sport. - Krusty Feb 21, 06:20
  - [deleted] 2
    - Dork. You wrote 6", not 6'. That was Krusty's joke. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:16 1
      - [deleted]
- Hmm, there needs to be an exact figure. Huge difference between Doug Flutie's 5' 9" and 5' 11". -- nm - Inigo Feb 21, 05:47 11
  - 5'11 3/4" is the exact -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 05:50 10
    - Thanks. I don't see that as a problem at all, then. -- nm - Inigo Feb 21, 05:51 9
      - Neither did Drew Brees. Then he ended up in the 2nd round of the draft. - Will Hunting Feb 21, 05:53 8
        
        That same year Vick was drafted #1 overall, and he's a much more apt comparison to Manziel coming out of college. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:07 6
        
        With LT in the first and Brees in the 2nd, that had to be one of the best drafts ever for a single team. - Jim Feb 21, 06:10 4
        
        Yeah, it's up there with Ogden then Ray Lewis for the Ravens. First two draft picks ever. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:13 3
        
        That's an impressive pairing as well. Didn't realize they were the same draft -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 06:19 2
        
        Yep, Ozzie Newsome's first draft in charge....2 first ballot Hall of Famers....yeah, he chose wisely. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 06:20 1
        
        If he had listened to fans and local media, he'd have drafted Lawrence Phillips. - Inigo Feb 21, 06:24
        
        ^ Vick was measured at 6" exactly. -- nm - Inigo Feb 21, 06:08
        
        Brees was selected at a different time. Manziel is coming out at the perfect time for his skill set. - Jim Feb 21, 05:54
- I didn't realize that was measured during the combine. But I think how tall he is matters more. -- nm - spamlet (droid) Feb 21, 05:05 4
  - heh. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Feb 21, 06:01

    - Shortest of the big 3, yet with the biggest hands...which folks are saying is more important. -- nm - Jim Feb 21, 05:32 1
