spoiler question - the mystifying virtuoso May 20, 10:40
[deleted] 17
- it's crazy. "The greatest worries centered on a complex in north Rio that is to host venues for eight sports. Work has not even begun on the site." -- (link) - the mystifying virtuoso May 20, 10:36
- Was 2016 the one Chicago was also in the running for, or was that 2020? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 20, 10:35 2
  - Robbed I say! -- nm - oblique May 20, 10:55
  - 2016, came fourth of four in Round One. Slap down. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 20, 10:37
- So, which recent host has torn down the least infrastructure? - Will Hunting May 20, 10:11 8
  - I think Sydney is a viable backup. It'll have been 16 years but I bet they can ramp up rapidly. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 20, 10:45
  - London probably, because they planned for the after-Olympics pretty well. Maybe Sydney. -- nm - Roger More May 20, 10:40
  - Vancouver's Winter Games likely, though not as much new was built as other recent games. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 20, 10:12 4
    - I meant Summer Games since it'll be summer. -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 10:47
    - They recently successfully sold the olympic village (it took a lot of effort and wheeling and dealing, though) -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:36 2
      - Was the wheeling and dealing more about who got to buy it rather than being able to sell? I find it hard to believe that.... - Name Withheld By Request May 20, 10:39 1
        
        It sounded surprisingly difficult to move, in fact. I think they essentially had to write off a couple hundred million dollars so they could pretend - Beryllium May 20, 10:40
  - along with your gold medal, you get 3 kinds of Hepetitis! - Beaker May 20, 10:12
- It sounds like Rio and Qatar are in a healthy competition. -- nm - Strongbad May 20, 10:10 3
  - except Qatar would use the dead bodies of migrant workers to sop up the sewage in the lake -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:11 2
    - But migrant workers aren't very absorbent are they? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 20, 10:13 1
      - we're not really sure...but willing to try! Throw another thousand in there and see what happens -- nm - Qatar Olympic Committee May 20, 10:14

And, yes, there is a double standard. But keep in mind the guys upstairs were clothes at all times too. - ty97 May 20, 09:57 2
- not really true, both sets of strippers had bottoms and no tops. - groiny May 20, 10:00
- "he brought a knife to a penis fight" -- nm - Beaker May 20, 09:58
Bingo was the *worst*. I almost had a panic attack. - ty97 May 20, 09:53 8
- [deleted]
- I was fully prepared to fight at BINGO, and I was also way stressed for it to be fun. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 09:56
- did anyone sing the BINGO song? Did any STer join in with the shushers? - Beaker May 20, 09:55 3
  - We got warned my management about 2.5 minutes into the game. -- nm - ty97 May 20, 09:56 2
    - hence my turncoat question :) \ -- nm - Beaker May 20, 09:57 1
      - I did shush Dawson every time he moaned when O69 was called. - ty97 May 20, 09:58
- (coTc) I thought Bingo was his name -- nm - trish May 20, 09:55
- Bingo and OCD seem like a really bad combination. :-) -- nm - TWuG May 20, 09:55
A wild turkey committed suicide against my windshield this morning. - TWuG May 20, 09:51 9
- Turkeys are big effing animals. I'm always worried we're going to hit one going down to my in laws. -- nm - spamlet May 20, 10:39
- Thanks for giving us this story -- nm - Bacon May 20, 09:56 3
  - You're welcome. -- nm - TWuG May 20, 09:58 1
    - Next time hit a pig, mmmmmm roadkill bacon -- nm - Bacon May 20, 10:06
  - any story that flows this well into a WKRP quote is the best -- nm - Beaker May 20, 09:57
- So, what's for dinner? -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 09:53 2
  - Slow cooked pork ribs. - TWuG May 20, 09:54 1
    - (coTc) ah, grilled ribs -- nm - trish May 20, 10:03
- "as God as my witness, I thought wild turkeys could fly" -- nm - Beaker May 20, 09:53
TV PSA: DWTS, The Voice, AI, I Wanna Marry Harry, Judge Judy, Supernatural (season finale), Fargo, a bunch of Dealiest Catch spinoffs, Chopped, - Beaker May 20, 09:51 3
- Judge Judy? In primetime? Are they completely out of anything decent to air? -- nm - Krusty May 20, 10:05 1
  - it is bizarre...but knowing CBS it will probably win the night (they should have called it NCIS Judge Judy) -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:15
- Deadliest Catch: undercover! DC: on the road again, DC: this catch be deadly DC: you've got crabs - Beaker May 20, 09:54

Tombstone question: When Frank McLaury says to Doc "I've got you now..." and Doc responds "You're a daisy if you do..." by that does Doc mean (inside) - IrishStephen May 20, 09:45 16
- I always figured it was - spoilers - Beaker May 20, 10:10
- Doc Holliday played by his own rules, and own language. -- nm - Flavorize May 20, 10:08 3
  - That's right, Huckleberr -- nm - Bacon May 20, 10:12 1
    - y -- nm - Bacon May 20, 10:12
  - giggle -- nm - Diva, kissed by Spawn and I also liked it May 20, 10:10
- the Urban dictionary says it is B. but I disagree based on the below -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:03 5
  - google it, most of the sites/responses say B it seems -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:04 4
    - they are all wrong. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 10:07 2
      - BUT IT'S ON THE INTERNET! -- nm - spamlet May 20, 10:40
      - Every single one of them. B makes no sense the way he uses it both times in the movie -- nm - Jim May 20, 10:09
    - (coTc) and yet in Tombstone, it is A. another reason that movie sux -- nm - trish May 20, 10:05
- [deleted] 2
  - Sound logic. I agree. -- nm - volnelk May 20, 10:00 1
    - even when I said it below! -- nm - groiny May 20, 10:01
- a. - groiny May 20, 09:46 1
  - Right, I agree with you and ML, but as Beaker points out there are a lot of B responses out there on the internet... -- nm - IrishStephen May 20, 10:05

- Nope. No effect at all. -- nm - TWuG May 20, 09:45
- I highly doubt it. nm -- nm - groiny May 20, 09:45
[deleted] 9
- So, what they're saying is while today's players had damn well better know what's going into their body...they're completely off the hook on that? -- nm - Jim May 20, 10:01 3
  - Some of them are saying they weren't even told they had fractures, aren't they? And not told about side effects. -- nm - mara May 20, 10:16
  - [deleted] 1
    - Forced? -- nm - Jim May 20, 10:21
- Can it really be argued that "the League" did this when teams hire their own doctors? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 20, 10:00

  - I only have three employees. The cost is not worth it. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 20, 09:43 2
