  - Zinedine got a year even though he had anounced he was retireing iirc - Dándukini Jun 26, 08:52
- No. A full year minimum but he deserves a lifetime ban. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 08:43 5
  - As was mentioned, WC is evey 4 years, so a 4 year ban at least. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:46 2
    - plus Italy get the win and the spot in 1/8 finals -- nm - Dándukini Jun 26, 08:49
    - If not lifetime that works. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 08:48
  - I would think that Italian soccer fans would especially despise him, heh. -- nm - CQ Jun 26, 08:45 1
    - I have despised him for a while. I don't care how talented he is, he doesn't deserve to play anymore. Three strikes, he's out -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 08:48
- Well, you are supposed to chew 32 times before swallowing. -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 08:42

- I am wearing my Chuck's BBQ shirt today as a sign of unity. - David Jun 26, 08:43 4
  - ugh, that just made me realize, I am not going to be able to order from there anymore to deliver me BBQ goodness. - groiny Jun 26, 08:45 2
    - Fuck that...dine in, man. Dine it. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:47 1
      - in -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:47

- Good job dad considering the circumstances. -- nm - Valdo DiZeni Jun 26, 08:28
- that's a relief -- nm - prayformojo Jun 26, 08:27 8
  - they wanted to go last night and scope out their new bedrooms. - groiny Jun 26, 08:33 7

      - it sucks because I just finished my daughters Gryffindor room last month. - groiny Jun 26, 08:35 5
        
        That was the practice run. Now you know how to do it right. - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:39
        
        Time to go Ravenclaw. -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 08:39 2
        
        This. Has she been on Pottermore and been sorted? -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:40 1
        
        I am sure she has, but truthfully, I am not sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 08:41
        
        But this time, you can do it better!! no pressure, though. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:39
- Remind us: ages of children? -- nm - OAE -- You Know Who Jun 26, 08:25 1
  - 6 and 13 -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 08:26
- I moved a bunch as a kid and usually found it a great way to get rid of bullies and other bad situations. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:22 13
  - thing about bullies, is you move, and you will still run into new bullies. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 08:27 12
    - But sometimes you learn why you were a target and can play things a little differently. - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:32 11
      - I had similar experiences. Went from popular to picked on. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 08:34 10
        
        eventually it went the other way for me -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:35 8
        
        it was a good thing for me, ultimately. - groiny Jun 26, 08:36 7
        
        heh. I just got smarter. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:38 6
        
        that was not really my issue. - groiny Jun 26, 08:40 2
        
        Nice. - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:42
        
        I moved a month before 8th grade ended. That summer I literally grew a foot taller. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:42
        
        ... - Shaun Jun 26, 08:39 2
        
        Laugh it up, fuzzball! - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:41 1
        
        I was destined to be a grunt. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 26, 08:41
        
        Yup. That was move #1. Did not know there was another side. The next move I knew where I did not want to fall and took steps to remedy it. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:35
- Kids are resilient. I'm sure they were tired of dealing with flood issues as well -- nm - Pippé Jun 26, 08:20
- Nice. nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:19
- wow. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 08:18

  - this is totally true. -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 26, 08:14
- have you talked to the bank yet? -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 26, 08:12 1
  - no, talked to the bankruptcy attorney yesterday, they have to remove the mortgage from bankruptcy first. - groiny Jun 26, 08:18
- Excellent. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:11
I had breakfast this morning, people. Breakfast! -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 08:10
have we seen this? -- (link) - peggy ann m Jun 26, 08:07 1
- Seen it. Iffy on whether I believe it's real. -- nm - Max Jun 26, 08:08
Every Way The U.S. Can Advance In The World Cup -- (link) - Tyego97 Jun 26, 08:05 1
- Too many ways, Marty. -- nm - Max Jun 26, 08:07
Spawn nmbWM - Diva Jun 26, 08:03 3

  - Yep. I'll be back on - ika - line around 5pm EST. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 08:45

US vs Germany in one chart -- (link) - Tyego97 Jun 26, 07:58
Random rant: I am amused about when politicians are running for office and talk about planned new initiatives but those initiatives already exist. -- nm - Valdo DiZeni Jun 26, 07:54
[deleted] 10
- So, this means it will stay as an 8 foot buffer? -- nm - Inigo Jun 26, 07:54 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - According to this, it doesn't mention Colorado's 8 foot buffer at all. - Inigo Jun 26, 08:16
    - This is awful. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:12
- I still find it interesting that it was abortion supporters that brought the lawsuit. - spamlet Jun 26, 07:51 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - I don't have time to read this morning. Is it all buffer zones, or only "unreasonable" ones? -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 07:58 1
      - [deleted]
- So that kills "free speech zones" too, right? RIGHT?! -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 07:49 1
  - And No Fly Zones? -- nm - Budicio Jun 26, 07:51
re: zork about the Kobo. Thanks for the offer. My wife already has a tonne of epubs on our PC already. Pretty sure I'll be set. - Shaun Jun 26, 07:47 3
- as to the epubs, I did all the English Harry Potters again and might do the American ones next. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:21
- What I don't like about those is how new information gets is unveiled during the reveal -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:19
- A Study in Scarlet -- nm - mud Jun 26, 07:49
FYE is making me so anxious this year. I wish I smoked pot. -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 26, 07:41 11
- I'm not stressed out yet. Check again in a month. -- nm - spamlet Jun 26, 07:47 3
  - *everything* for us has to be done by 7/18. post close transactions only after 7/11. !! -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 26, 07:52 2
    - Yeah, I'm sure our accounting folks are starting to freak out. I have to wait until they're done before I can freak. - spamlet Jun 26, 07:53 1
      - the university as a whole doesn't differentiate between "finance" and "accounting" so everyone who deals with dollar signs is in hell at the same time -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 26, 08:08
- heh. I watched Savages last night. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 07:45 5
  - mmmmm...Blake Lively -- nm - Budicio Jun 26, 07:47 4
    - she should work more. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 08:20 2
      - Ryan has to let her out of the house first -- nm - decline Jun 26, 08:31
      - This was the first thing I have seen her in. - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 08:25
    - Yeah, she was... rather radiant in it. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 07:49
- unsure which CD to buy ? -- nm - decline Jun 26, 07:42
I'm starting to think Kim Jong Un is getting a cut to help promote the movie about assassinating him. -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 07:38
Sponaldinho, it's even less meaningful because the international matches following WC are pretty meaningless -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 07:36 11
- It only counts competitive matches. So friendlies don't count towards the ban but qualifiers for tournaments and such do. - Reagen Jun 26, 07:38 9
  - right but qualifiers start fairly soon but don't really ramp up until after the next Euro -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 07:40 8
    - CA isn't a qualifier tourney. From what I've read, he's out of that. - Reagen Jun 26, 07:45 7
      - Just looked and the draw for qualifying for next WC isn't even until next summer. -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:18 6
        
        OK. And? -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:28 5
        
        The ban does not seem to include any significant matches. Who, outside of SA, even knows about CA? -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:38 4
        
        It woudl be silly to cherry pick games to ban, and a 4 year ban would be ridiculous. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:44 3
        
        I agree. I just mean that the timing of the incident means that other than the remainder of this tournament, he won't miss any meaningful int'l games -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:46 2
        
        I expect that the CA is meaningful to South America. - Reagen Jun 26, 08:47 1
        
        Outside of Europe, your IM is how I'm feeling, yes. - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:52
- True. Should be 4 or 8 years. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 07:38
40 years ago today the bar code made its debut. The first item sold was a 67 cent 10-pack of Juicy Fruit gum. -- nm - Ender Jun 26, 07:34 4
- Barcodes debut the same day Derek Jeter is born...(nm) - amoxy Jun 26, 07:40 1
  - "a jackboot stomping on a human face, forever ..." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:51
- Stupid sexy barcodes. -- nm - Qale Jun 26, 07:40
- You should have asked that as a trivia question. - Spawnaldo Jun 26, 07:39
This also keeps him out of something like 8 EPL matches, and next year's Copa Americana. There's also a ~90k fine. - Reagen Jun 26, 07:34 7
- And also out of a huge chunk of Champions League. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 07:42
- Seems relatively just, and definitely swift. I don't think the NFL or MLB would be any harsher, but they'd definitely take forever to punish him. -- nm - Inigo Jun 26, 07:39 1
  - We'll disagree on the 'just'. He's a 3x offender for the same action. - Hunta Jun 26, 07:56
- Liverpool gets punished because they won't get as much for him if they arrange a transfer. And, if he hadn't been out for a bunch of games last season - Zorcàs Jun 26, 07:38 3
  - So don't employ douchebag players. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 07:53 2
    - To be "fair", he only had one bite on his record when they signed him. *rolls eyes* -- nm - Zorcàs Jun 26, 08:17
    - This. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 26, 07:58
Happy 40th birthday Derek Jeter -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 26, 07:30 1
- *celebrates by bedding an entire continent's worth of Miss Universe contestants. - Derek Jeter Jun 26, 07:33
