*laughing* Our softball league just hit the re-start button. Becuase of the absurd schedule, a team quit so they threw out the first 2 months of the - Will Hunting Jun 11, 11:53 12
- that's pretty crazy. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 11:55
- your schedule makers are weird. no games in the first 2 months? -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 11:55 10
  - We just started last week. Dumb, because it's impossible to start games early enough to beat the light in late fall. -- nm - Max Jun 11, 11:58 3
    - We technically started April 4th, but had 2 weeks of practice...first game was April 18th... - Will Hunting Jun 11, 12:00
    - we start first week in May and to end of September - but we have lights. -- (link) - Andie Jun 11, 12:00 1
      - We have lights too...they just didn't want to use them? Our park rights are April thru August. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 12:01
  - They had 2 bye weeks, a week off for Memorial Day, a week off for a charity thing (don't ask), 2 practice weeks and 3 rainouts. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 11:57
  - and I don't blame the team for quitting at all -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 11:56
  - and this. i assume it's weather related, but it seems like it should be across the board. do you play on different nights ? -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 11:56 3
    - Nope...we had 6 teams, 2 fields and 2 time slots so each weekend, 8 teams could play. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 11:59 2
      - And my favorite part, each of the remaining 5 weeks of games will be doubleheaders vs the same teams each night - Will Hunting Jun 11, 12:02 1
        
        that's crazy. i can't believe they chose byes instead of taking the second spot in the first place. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 12:04
I havr no idea what the Jersey Boys movie might do at the box office. Does anyone think this will do well? I haven't a clue. -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 11:52 5
- I was sort of surprised that the trailer didn't let on (to me) that it was "Jersey Boys" like the commercials for the show. - Mel Profit Jun 11, 12:20 1
  - When you found out it was JB like the show did it lose you? -- nm - Diva Jun 11, 12:26
- I really want to see it and I don't like musicals - I think Clint Eastwood has a following and the demo would come out for this -- nm - Pippy Jun 11, 12:13
- I think it could surprise. The show is wildly popular and the commercials have been all over the place. -- nm - Jim Jun 11, 11:53

  - yeah, she's a rock star. - Andie Jun 11, 12:12
- The Color run and the Muck Run I've run were all non-timed events. You could literally walk the whole thing. 5K will be easy. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 11, 11:51 1
  - yeah, i think i'll sign up. -- nm - Andie Jun 11, 11:52
- I think it looks fun. I'd be interested in trying one of these tough mudder types of events, but they're too long and intense. A 5k sounds fun. -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 11:44 1
  - tough mudders are long....but mudatholns are 5k length...tough but fun -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 12:09

  - I have nothing against the policies themselves, simply saying that claiming they blocked a bill when the Dems specifically put in a policy - spamlet Jun 11, 11:27 4
    - [deleted]
    - I love how you pretend this had any chance of passing regardless of whether or not the Buffett Rule was attached. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 11:29 2
      - Unfortunately, we'll never know because they torpedoed their own bill. -- nm - Jim Jun 11, 11:32 1
        
        [deleted]
- That's a good question. How many times *has* the Buffett Rule actually come up for a vote? - znufrii Jun 11, 11:02 9
  - Because of the filibuster rules, that's probably correct it's not exactly apples to oranges. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 11:04 8
    - in any case, putting something to a vote that has 60-70% public support is 100% politics and not at all an attempt at serious governance. -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 11:11 7
      - Are you saying Obamacare has 60-70% public support? -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 11, 12:15 3
        
        I'm saying that. And I'm also saying that people who quote polls like this do so at their own peril. - Imperator Jun 11, 12:26
        
        I was referring to the Buffett Rule -- nm - znufrii Jun 11, 12:20 1
        
        Ah, ok. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 12:25

  - All the penguins have to do is lure a large group of Minions to something shiny and their ranks are decimated. -- nm - Imperator Jun 11, 10:41 1
    - Of course, you have to worry about how much time the Penguins will spend trying to crack the Minions language code. - Jim Jun 11, 11:29
  - Yeah, even the numbers, and I think the Penguins win easily. -- nm - Inigo Jun 11, 10:40
