        I call bullshit on your last line. Wanting the name is just the new reason to justify being animals. - Jim Aug 12, 12:36 5
        
        Withholding the name now (days later) feeds the distrust about a fair investigation. - ty97 Aug 12, 12:43 4
        
        Well the FBI is coming in to handle the investigation, from what I understand. -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 12:45 3
        
        I have seen this movie. - T.S.Garp Aug 12, 13:12
        
        The FBI is running a parallel investigation to determine if civil rights were violated. They have not taken over the general investigation from FPD - ty97 Aug 12, 12:46 1

MTV/TBS has purchased and will share "New Girl" for Cable Syndication. Roughly $700k/episode fee. Great considering, they already had Netflix deal. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 12:00
Why did I buy a printer that didn't come with a USB cable? Furthermore, why didn't it tell me it did not come with one?! -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 12:00 8

    - i used to use the library when i wasn't working and had no home printer. 10 cents a page. :) -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 12:11 2
      - Ain't nobody got time for that! -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 12:18 1
        
        Actually, more importantly, most of the things I'd want to print, I wouldn't feel comfortable using public library internets. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 12:21
morbid thought: I wonder what the value of my Mork and Mindy yellow plastic lunch box is now? - Mel Profit Aug 12, 11:54 3

Eagle's beat writer is at the joint eagles/patriots practice. Brady is playing with a brace on his leg -- (link) - decline Aug 12, 11:37 4
- He probably got a knee replacement and BB "forgot" to report it to the league. -- nm - David Aug 12, 11:38 3
  - *OR* he made Brady wear it knowing the beat writer would see it, report it thus making everything think he was injured! -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 11:40 2
    - It would be hysterical if Brady and him did that. -- nm - David Aug 12, 11:42 1
      - y'all should check Brady's Birth Certificate. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 11:43
