- Thank you for the offer and will do - JD Jun 16, 11:30
GOT spoils - Reagen Jun 16, 11:21 4
- i dug that. -- nm - Diva Jun 16, 11:27
- Loved that scene and the toast immediately following. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 16, 11:24
- Yup. I laughed hard at that. -- nm - Imperator Jun 16, 11:24
- weird, I heard "far away" -- nm - Max Jun 16, 11:22
ST Poll: Should Pete Rose have his lifetime ban from MLB lifted? -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 11:18 13
- To clarify, I don't sare if he remains banned from the game, if he gets in the Hall of Fame. -- nm - volnelk Jun 16, 11:35
- No. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 16, 11:28
- No. Once the put Shoeless Joe in the HOF then he can go in. -- nm - ajrimmer Jun 16, 11:28
- only if someone else receives a ban for imposing or lifting something called a "lifetime ban" -- nm - Max Jun 16, 11:26
- No. But I would put him in the Hall of Fame. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 16, 11:24
- Without question, yes. -- nm - MDH Jun 16, 11:22
- I need him to be banned from Vegas mall shops cause that shit is making me sad every time I see it -- nm - Epiphany Jun 16, 11:22
- No. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 11:21
- I don't actually care if he can have a baseball job, as long as he's eligible for the hall. -- nm - Ender Jun 16, 11:21
- Without question. Put something on the plaque that says what he did, but put it under his number of hits. - volnelk Jun 16, 11:20
- But then it wouldn't be a lifetime ban. How could we trust MLB any more? It's not like they reduce suspensions every time the Players' Associa... - zork Jun 16, 11:20
- I think so, yes, but he also needs to have his issues footnoted somewhere. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 11:19
- God, yes. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:18
and *poof* gone. - Andie Jun 16, 11:16
STIS: Does anyone (maybe David?) know about the Professor Layton games for 3DS? - MDH Jun 16, 11:15 1
- I've only played the first one. I liked it pretty well but I cannot speak to the quality of the new one. -- nm - Imperator Jun 16, 11:23
Disney's Hollywood Studios is about to build an entire Star Wars section. -- nm - David Jun 16, 11:11 10
- awesome. Star Tours was one of our top 2 favorite rides. -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 11:16 8
  - That wasn't even opened yet when we went down a few years ago. I was sad. -- nm - Shaun Jun 16, 11:26
  - Eh, that is fine but I think it would be huge just having sets recreated. - Spawn Jun 16, 11:21 5
    - I'm sure they'll do that with the restaurants. -- nm - Imperator Jun 16, 11:22 4
      - "Mos Eisley Cantina" seems like a lead pipe cinch. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 11:26 2
        
        and that diner from Ep 2 or 3 -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:28
        
        that was my first thought as well, if Quarks was cool, that would be awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 11:27
      - Yeah. Just saying, you think Harry Potter World is popular... -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:24
  - There are 50+ potential versions of that ride. -- nm - David Jun 16, 11:19
- I should hope. They could do an entire park. - Spawn Jun 16, 11:13
so, I looked at that house yesterday. and it's super cute. like, super super cute. and it's literally my *favorite* stretch of three blocks in town. - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:07 26
- Call over with a cake and say hi. -- nm - loyola Jun 16, 11:11 2
  - then does she have to share the cake? - groiny Jun 16, 11:11 1
    - It's good recon. There could be terrorists in there. -- nm - loyola Jun 16, 11:14
- I would lodge a complaint with the borough's building inspector, have them deal with it. I would not call the guy directly. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:09 22
  - would you buy a house next to an obviously blighted property? I kind of feel like it's a dangerous proposition. I suppose eventually they have to fix - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:13 16
    - Give jonathan a lighter and a can of gasoline first -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:23
    - i like the walk by idea. but i can honestly say that an abandoned(ish) house next door would be worrisome to me. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 11:15 10
      - that is where the drug dealers and junkies live, andie. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 11:20 2
        
        my concern would be more of the rats and cockroach and fire hazard variety -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 11:28 1
        
        but you're Canadian -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:29
      - I feel like sash & jonathan think I am being a pussy about it. (mike beck hates the house for another reason, so he is on board.) -- (link) - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:20 6
        
        that probably would not fall under the definition of a blighted property by PA law -- nm - decline Jun 16, 11:25 3
        
        what is that? -- nm - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:27 2
        
        there is a whole list of conditions -- (link) - decline Jun 16, 11:30
        
        "worse than the Pennsylvania Turnpike" -- nm - PA law Jun 16, 11:28
        
        it does. that recycling bin is in exactly the same place on the front porch. the front steps have been removed so you can't get to it. where's spawn? - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:21 1
        
        it's probably illegal to not have those steps in place -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:26
    - we actually looked at a house like that in Conshy, J called it the Bates Motel house - znufrii Jun 16, 11:14 3
      - (it eventually sold for just over half of its original asking price) -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:26
      - where my mother-in-law and brother-in-law lived for about 10 years? we called it the Texas Chainsaw house -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:24
      - But no, I wouldn't buy it until and unless you know the problems are being addressed. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 11:22
  - start a blog, (town name) biggest eye sores, feature that house -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 11:11 3
    - oh, make an offer the house you want and tell them its lower because of the eye sore next door -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 11:12 2
      - I like this idea. If I loved the house, its my dream house - next door is not going to stop me - Epiphany Jun 16, 11:25
      - I'm thinking of starting at 195. -- nm - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 16, 11:21
  - also - znufrii Jun 16, 11:09
New car smell! -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 11:03
Judges with daughters more likely to rule in favor of women's rights -- (link) - znufrii Jun 16, 11:02
So, there you have it. The board has spoken. And should I say . . . - OAE -- You Know Who Jun 16, 10:48 31
- Hey, jackass, make an argument for it. -- nm - Ender Jun 16, 11:13 1
  - heh. I have her blocked but could easily tell who posted, as well as what type of a post from the feedback. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:15
- Have you ever, even once, considered the way you come across? -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 11:10 2
  - I think we all know the answer to that is no, don't we? - znufrii Jun 16, 11:10
  - I am gonna go way out on a limb and say...... - groiny Jun 16, 11:10
- what security issue do you need feels addressing? -- nm - decline Jun 16, 11:08
- offs. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 10:50
- I am sorry - amoxy Jun 16, 10:50 11
  - 25 Spawn Points -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 11:17
  - Well, people need to vent somewhere, now don't they? - OAE -- You Know Who Jun 16, 10:51 9
    - That's an interesting juxtoposition -- speaking in vague terms about wanting more security here, then admitting "this situation is mostly anonymous." -- nm - mara Jun 16, 11:13 7
      - and see, also a root of the problem. I don't consider most of this community as anynonymous. - groiny Jun 16, 11:14 5
        
        It's more anonymous to some than to others, basically. That is, if nobody knows much about you, including your real name, and you don't know much - mara Jun 16, 11:17
        
        or any other spelling on anonymous. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 11:15 3
        
        Well, I consider it QUITE anonymoose. -- nm - Ender Jun 16, 11:16 2
        
        LOL -- nm - Epiphany Jun 16, 11:26
        
        i miss mus. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 11:16
      - hilarious. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 11:13
    - do you do this in real life? walk into a room say something that makes you look like you don't know how to interact with people and then leave? - Andie Jun 16, 11:12
- Well, just an aside, if you're asking people to spend a pretty good amount of money, it would probably be wise to make the case for why. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 10:49 6
  - to reiterate: there are affordable options such that I could pay it myself without issue -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 10:51 5
    - That's fine. I'm just annoyed at that randomness of the query, then the martyrdom exhibited after it was asked, presumably after OAE left upon asking - Will Hunting Jun 16, 10:56 4
      - C'mon, she was just thinking about the children -- nm - zork Jun 16, 11:01
      - well, yeah, you know, if you are concerned about it, leave. - groiny Jun 16, 11:01 1
        
        or just explain that you have a concern and see if it (a) has already been addressed and if not then (b) discuss ways to fix that. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 11:13
      - *gestures meaningfully at this post* -- nm - The Point Jun 16, 11:00
- It's not that security is under control, it's that too much security theatre instills a false sense of confidence. Sometimes there's just no point. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 10:49 4
  - ST In The Raw -- nm - Max Jun 16, 10:54
  - Got it -- you're the leader here: I just asked. - OAE -- You Know Who Jun 16, 10:50 2
    - you didn't actually ask if security was under control, you didn't say why you thought we needed https, you didn't answer anyone's questions which they - Andie Jun 16, 11:10
    - Hey! You missed me, I'm over here!!! - The Point Jun 16, 10:57
I'd like for there to be a change in the status of the UK countries so that they're more on par with England. - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:40
Pack your bags -- nm - zork Jun 16, 10:39
Hold your ballots for "winiest baby in sports". -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:36
this is a thing you can buy in fancy coffee shops in Jakarta - bars of Luwak - coffee beans embedded in civet poop. - Andie Jun 16, 10:31 4
- Incidentally, like foie gras, it may be the product of animal cruelty if the civets are captive and force-fed. -- nm - mara Jun 16, 10:35 2
  - but what if they are captive, force fed and they like it ? -- nm - decline Jun 16, 11:11
  - i am not surprised. - Andie Jun 16, 10:36
- I make mine at home. I don't have any Civets, so I do the best I can with what's around. -- nm - volnelk Jun 16, 10:34

- three times was second in triples, which defies all logic. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 11:12 1
  - Only struck out three times in a game ONCE in his career. - David Jun 16, 11:15
- In 1996, they had to add phantom hitless plate appearances to get him over the minimum required for the batting title. He still won comfortably. -- nm - Was Bar Was Jun 16, 10:45
- [deleted] 2
  - By that point though, he was broken down. He only had 230 at-bats in his last 2 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 10:47
  - "Hit safely in 75% of total games played" - David Jun 16, 10:46
- I just watched Karl Ravech speak about it, which brought him full circle for me. - David Jun 16, 10:36
- He should have given 110% that season -- nm - prayformojo Jun 16, 10:30
I always forget that there's really no elegant way to eat a rotisserie chicken -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 10:22 2
- When confronted with a rotisserie chicken, elegance is not paramount in my mind. I'll go rabid dog on that thing. - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:30
- Even so, you should still probably hold your pinky out... -- nm - Ender Jun 16, 10:23
How do you say "howdy" or "how you doing" in Brazilian Portuguese? -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:19 4
- como sta, bitches! -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:25 1
  - That last part is optional unless you're Aaron Paul. -- nm - Was Bar Was Jun 16, 10:36
- Como você *está* fazendo! -- nm - mara Jun 16, 10:20 1
  - I was hoping for just "que tal". -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:21
I'm in the friends and family section for tonight's recording of Ask Me Another! Woot! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:18

  - Gigantism! -- nm - David Jun 16, 10:37
  - 2 in 1 shampoo is a bullshit term, because 1 is not big enough to hold 2. If it was 2 in 1, the bottle would be all sticky and shit. -- nm - Mitch Hedberg Jun 16, 10:31
15 best mobie trailers ever -- (link) - mara Jun 16, 10:17 12
- They don't list my favorite teaser -- (link) - amoxy Jun 16, 11:13 [youtube]
- screw you mobie, no one listens to techo no more! -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 11:04
- [deleted]
- The lack of Pearl Harbor or 300 means this list is crap. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 16, 10:39 1
  - Yep, the FDR speech was brilliance in a teaser/trailer. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 10:43

- Titan AE -- nm - Spawndroid Jun 16, 10:30 2

  - NYC tomorrow -- nm - LMS Jun 16, 11:24
Richard Martinez, father of Santa Barbara shooting victim, meets with shooter's father. Powerful stuff. -- (link) - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:09
So WC Spoiler speculation for US - volnelk Jun 16, 10:05 8
- Aliens will land on the field in the 92nd minute and score a goal to put Ghana over the US, and the ref will miss it. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 16, 10:16
- Ummm, I think that always was it -- nm - zork Jun 16, 10:12 2
