I'm half listening to this match on ESPN radio. Judging by the rise in the announcer's voice every other minute I get the impression there've been 20 - Max Jun 30, 09:44 2
- Not quite that many, I don't think, but there have been some good chances. -- nm - IrishStephen Jun 30, 09:45 1
  - lots of corners. sounds like a very active game. -- nm - Max Jun 30, 09:47
Wow. It is storming out and for the last 45 seconds now the rain has got progressively louder. I mean, for the whole 60 seconds now it has grown in - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:38 1
- Is it loud like a freight train? -- nm - Hunta Jun 30, 09:39
Because David's Chik Fil A post made me think of it...so, the other day, I was asked to get ordained so I can marry my sister in law & her girlfriend. - Jim Jun 30, 09:29 26
- there are plenty of templates, basic ceremonies in various denominations out there to be googled, go from there - zuitgusto Jun 30, 10:01
- [like on Taxi] will we have to call you Reverend Jim? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 30, 09:31 1
  - let's not ask Jim any questions about traffic lights. -- nm - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:43
- Remember Jim, this is vital. The day of their wedding, everyone is there to see the minister. -- nm - Hunta Jun 30, 09:31 5
  - Spoils - Jim Jun 30, 09:32 4
    - They wouldn't pick a schlub who couldn't talk in front of people... - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:34 3
      - Dude, I'm horrible like this. I've DJ'd a bunch of weddings and I'm always nervous about it... - Jim Jun 30, 09:38 2
        
        Unless you call one of them the wrong name, no one will remember anything you do. - Hunta Jun 30, 09:42
        
        Start with a joke to set everyone at ease. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:39
- "Why are there all these Survivor and Denver Broncos references in here?" -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 09:30 14
  - "Come on in, guys!" nm - Dignan Jun 30, 09:34
  - We thought "For better or worse" would convey it, but hearing about the Super Bowl history of John Elway really touched us." -- nm - Marrying Couple Jun 30, 09:33 1
    - And on this day, where Teresa hauled in Christal's Hail Mary - the same way Shannon Sharpe used to bring them in from John Elway... -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 09:34
  - I know, right? I feel like I might have to do some of the service in my Boston Rob voice. - Jim Jun 30, 09:31 10
    - "Finding a partner is kinda like Boston Rob on Survivor...you don't find the right mix the first few times through, you hear from everyone how great - Hunta Jun 30, 09:37
    - Semi-related: we deleted the final episode and the reunion show unwatched. - David Jun 30, 09:34 8
      - Doesn't surprise me given the outcome. I mean, no one wants to see the person they hated all season actually win. - Jim Jun 30, 09:36 5
        
        Based on what I read about the reunion, they seem to be grooming Parvati to become host. -- nm - David Jun 30, 09:37 4
        
        Actually, I don't think that's a horrible idea. Probst is just mailing it in. Once again, there was probably 6 or 7 people he didn't even talk to. - Jim Jun 30, 09:39 2
        
        I really like Tyler Perry as a person but I have only enjoyed one of his movies and now he is ruining Survivor, too. -- nm - David Jun 30, 09:44 1
        
        Here's how I'll be interested in Tyler Perry at a Survivor reunion...if he actually played the game. - Jim Jun 30, 09:47
        
        *tunes in* -- nm - Hunta Jun 30, 09:38
      - ... you just changed my mental picture of you. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:35 1
        
        How so? -- nm - David Jun 30, 09:38
- Which church you going with? - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:30 1
  - FSM or Dudeism, FTW! -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 09:32
WC spoils - IrishStephen Jun 30, 09:19
Since the Hobby Lobby nonsense is news today, I would like to ask my gay friends here a question about Chick Fil A. - David Jun 30, 09:19 41
- charlie has an "out and proud" shirt he keeps in his car to wear whenever he eats there. charlie's straight. - peggy ann m Jun 30, 09:47
- [deleted] 1
  - There's one near you, but you have to enroll at NYU :) -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:48
- they are just coming to Canada. i will actively avoid them unless i learn the Canadian company is a separate entity in all ways. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 09:42
- If they haven't changed their stance, I couldn't do it. - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:36 6
  - After MDH's reply, it was already decided we would continue not to eat there. - David Jun 30, 09:41 5
    - do send the details so it's not just you guys. I'd be interested to see if you get a response and what it would be. -- nm - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:47 3
      - What response could they really give, though? They have to follow the Corporate line, don't they? Or risk losing their franchise? -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 09:48 2
        
        that's why I want to see the linguistic skill of the franchise owner...or he/she may just agree as well which would be interesting to read. -- nm - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:51 1
        
        because - it feels like me that the homophobes are beginning to understand that... - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:53
    - And boy are you in the wrong part of the country from the whole Bible thing. :) -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 09:44
- Not gay, but my brother is. I avoid it, just as I avoid Hobby Lobby. - TWuG Jun 30, 09:31 1
  - I shop at Hobby Lobby because they're absolutely the cheapest place for me to get shit for Scouts... - Jim Jun 30, 09:33
- When I boycott a company, I don't require that anyone else follow my stances. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 09:30 5
  - so true, it's a personal choice. everyone does what is right for them. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 09:44
  - This is basically me too. In fact, I generally don't even mention the avoidance - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:33 3
    - I've gone there with others and chosen not to eat. Then it usually comes up. -- nm - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:35 2
      - If others wanted to go, I would totally go and take this exact approach. -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:43
      - that's a great way to start talking about it. -- nm - Mel Premio Jun 30, 09:41
- I don't eat there, don't shop at Hobby Lobby, and don't see movies at Cinemark. - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:28 10
  - What's wrong with Cinemark? - con_carne Jun 30, 09:31 9
    - Former Cinemark CEO Alan Stock from Plano, TX, gave $9,999 to support passage of Prop 8. - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:34 4
      - This may not make sense, but I see this a little differently. - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:38 3
        
        Choosing to support thier business, which in turn funds his paycheck, bothered me. - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:42 2
        
        I completely understand and, frankly, hadn't heard about CNK before so I need to ponder. - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:47 1
        
        He's not their CEO anymore, so I don't think it's an issue. -- nm - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:48
    - big supporters of Prop 8, I think? -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:32 2
      - I am seeing something about their CEO at the time, but they have someone else now -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:35 1
        
        I just got used to not going there. I have other options. - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:37
    - evil -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:32
- I personally continue to not eat there since I believe money I spend there (in some form) will go to anti-gay right groups. - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:25
- Not gay, started going to our local one because they were heavy into supporting Logan's school, but only on the nights designated for school support. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:25
- Reminds me, it's probably about time to make another donation to the HRC to make up for the last couple times I've eaten there. - znufrii Jun 30, 09:22 2
  - (he doesn't mean Hilary folks, just fyi) (b/c I got confused for a second) -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:26 1
    - right. -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 09:27
- I wasn't outraged before. I appreciated the support from 'straight allies' but felt boycotting was the wrong battle to fight. -- nm - Qale as Folk Jun 30, 09:21 2
  - I was semi-boycotting them before due to the being closed on Sunday thing. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:26 1
    - I just don't really do boycotting. I feel it often has too much collateral damage. But again appreciate the choices others make. -- nm - Qale as Folk Jun 30, 09:40
- I still don't eat there, and honestly none of my friends do. When their Foundation tax return shows no anti-gay donations I'll eat there. -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 09:21
- I am not gay...... - groiny Jun 30, 09:20 1
  - Who knew groiny was a poet? -- nm - IrishStephen Jun 30, 09:21
"That's a pretty awful attempt." -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 30, 09:18
Go Nigeria! -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 09:04 1
- Vive La France! - con_carne Jun 30, 09:14
Any time you can give up assets to trade for a coach who finished 6th in the Leastern Conference, you just have to do it. - Hunta Jun 30, 09:00 2
- I am impressed that the Nets just received compensation for a coach who almost got fired after 20 games. - David Jun 30, 09:04 1
  - Seriously, Billy King gets to keep his job, get rid of that incompetent, get something for him and then likely hires a good coach in Lionel Hollins? - Hunta Jun 30, 09:08
heh. did that announcer just quote GoT? -- nm - Jovian Jun 30, 09:00
Let's go Nigeria! -- nm - CQ Jun 30, 09:00
You know which movies *really* don't hold up ten years later? The Matrix sequels. - Dignan Jun 30, 09:00 5
- But the second one has the highway chase with the ghost twins. -- nm - Qale as Folk Jun 30, 09:32
- For all the money and tech they apparently had at their disposal, the rubber-man effects during the fights were amateur hour. -- nm - Max Jun 30, 09:15
- As long as we agree the first one holds up, I will agree with this. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 09:14
- Oh, and Bad Words: (B) nm - Dignan Jun 30, 09:01
- the martix sequels did not hold up 10 minutes after I saw them. -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 09:00
I think the last 8 days of June disappear the quickest of the year. -- nm - Max Jun 30, 08:58 2

- Logan goes back to school first week of August. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 08:59
I can't decide which trailer looks worse: Tammy or Sex Tape. - Jaxón Jun 30, 08:57 14
- I think ST looks funny -- nm - Tyego97 Jun 30, 08:59 9
  - SlackerTalk is probably funnier than SexTape. - Jaxón Jun 30, 09:09 1
    - I mean the movie - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:09
  - I just wonder when Hollywood will finally realize that CDIAZ is not hot? -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 09:00 5
    - I can get personal preferences of who's attractive to you or not, but if CDIAZ isn't hot, then the bar for hot is way way way too high. - Tyego97 Jun 30, 09:06 4
      - When she's not acting as Cameron Diaz caricature (look, good-looking woman high on life! Look she's DANCING!)...she's really good looking - Hunta Jun 30, 09:10
      - She's attractive physically but she has the personality of an overly energetic 4-year-old only child. - David Jun 30, 09:07 1
        
        she is a funny piece of leather. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 09:09
      - Diaz is cute. She definitely seems like a chick to watch the game with and have a beer. But I'm with groin on this one... - Jim Jun 30, 09:07
  - Hey, we think you look funny. -- nm - spamlet Jun 30, 08:59
- You need glasses. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 08:59
- sextape, at least Tammy has a chubby girl falling down. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:58
- Tammy - Hunta Jun 30, 08:58
- either way, we all lose. -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:57

  - More likely than not, I think. nm - Dignan Jun 30, 08:56
- I give it a (B). - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 08:48
I know you were all very worried: I accid logged out of yo.app on friday and couldn't get back in. it's all fine now. I can yo again. -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 30, 08:42 5
- heh, I deleted when I learned others had to have it as well. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 08:43 4
  - I find it surprisingly useful. "I'll pick you up at 5. I'll yo you when I'm in the parking lot." -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 30, 08:45 3
    - I loved that idea of it and was going to use it for just that stuff. - Spawnaldo Jun 30, 08:46 2
      - rem wouldn't get yo for you? (*I* would get yo for you.) -- nm - peggy ann m Jun 30, 08:51 1

OCD stuff from B2: Pictures *must* hang straight on the wall. A crooked picture, even just a smidge, and I'll adjust it - TWuG Jun 30, 08:33 9
- The ranch house at the museum has picture rails and a lot of family portraits. The frames have two eye-screws and should - Meg Jun 30, 08:50
- i have a level app on my phone. it gets used. :) -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:40

  - Nice! -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 08:39 2
    - It happened to get posted to my Facebook feed yesterday :) -- nm - oblique Jun 30, 08:40 1
      - I'd hang the frame straight in that situation. And I'd lose the string and add wire to the back. -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 08:41
  - hah! -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 08:39

so, a guy finished 8th in the voting last season, and had less than 350 plate appearances. - groiny Jun 30, 08:31 13
- If Ramirez played another 50 games (to get to 135) at that level he wins the award. - Hunta Jun 30, 08:39
- We've moved the goalpoasts quite a bit from "he could win!" to "He could get his name in with the other joke candidates!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 08:33 11
  - 8th place is hardly "joke candidate" territory. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:34 2
    - Roseanne Barr finished 6th in the Presidential election in 2012. Any chance she was gonna win? - Inigo Jun 30, 08:39 1

      - do me a favor, and realize that I can't see any sports pages while at work. - groiny Jun 30, 08:37 5
        
        another choice would be to concede. - Reagen Jun 30, 08:41 4
        
        I am not even debating that he will win anything, just that these "rules" are not even rules. - groiny Jun 30, 08:44 3
        
        *you* started off saying he could win. - Reagen Jun 30, 08:51 2
        
        I am saying he could win. I am also saying it is not likely. - groiny Jun 30, 08:55 1
