update on the momma situation . . . she's resting comfortably at the hospital. they admitted her overnight, and will be doing . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 19, 17:55 2
- Best wishes. (The food at our local hospital was actually pretty good.) - kelly Aug 19, 18:11
- She's in a good safe place. Get those tests done and fix what is going on. Hang in there -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:57

Looks like I will need to submit draft picks for round 1. I am off tomorrow and won't be setting my alarm for 6am -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:31 24
- Feel free to send them to me if you want. (Don't know if that's allowed.) -- nm - kelly Aug 19, 17:36 23
  - Not sure, because you are behind me. -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:38
  - I would prefer he send his picks to someone in a different league. - David Aug 19, 17:38 21
    - Ah, okay. -- nm - kelly Aug 19, 17:40 14
      - I really appreciate the offer, and it would help if anybody from Cavemen needs assistance. -- nm - David Aug 19, 17:40 13
        
        The hard part is Samara has a very deep team so trying to figure out what she is going to drop makes this more challenging -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:46 12
        
        You could have solved a lot of problems by trading with her to improve your keepers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 17:58 11
        
        To trade for one of those I would have to cut a top WR or RB to make room. I am weak on TE but I want my San Fran D - Bacon Aug 19, 18:04 2
        
        I would take any of her top 3 RBs over your RB keeper. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 18:14 1
        
        It's not that easy. I am giving up my RB and 4th overall pick! Also to someone that is stacked and getting my 4th overall pick. So it also hurts me - Bacon Aug 19, 18:16
        
        Why trade a 1st rounder when you're likely in position to get one of her guys in your draft spot? - Will Hunting Aug 19, 18:00 7
        
        Because it's Redmond, and we've seen what he does with his first round picks. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 18:04 6
        
        I would be trading 1 of my keepers and a 1st round pick for one of her players. 2 for 1 and not a huge upgrade -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 18:13 3
        
        So I would be trading San Fran D and my 4th pick for Vernon Davis (she ain't trading Graham) or Demarco Murray and 4th overall for Eddie Lacy. - Bacon Aug 19, 18:15 2
        
        Or DeSean instead of Murray. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 18:21 1
        
        but I am giving her a top 4 pick, making her that much better. - Bacon Aug 19, 18:23
        
        At the expense of him getting the 4th overall cast-off... - Will Hunting Aug 19, 18:08 1
        
        Well, I'm half expecting him to do something like draft Christine Michael. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 19, 18:17
    - Don't worry, even making up a name would improve his chances of success. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 17:39 3
      - Ocho fucking Cinco!! -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:40 2
        
        Oddly, not your worst first rounder that year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 17:41 1
        
        I forgot what garbage I got that year. -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:44
    - Okay, that seems to make sense -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:39 1
      - here - Spawn Aug 19, 17:43
SITWAP, but I just read that Brown may have paid for the cigarillos he took and returned the ones he didn't have the money for. -- (link) - mara Aug 19, 17:20 5
- Stipulation: the crime, whatever it was, shouldn't have resulted in being shot to death. Comment on the video: - TWuG Aug 19, 17:35 4
  - Him being shot by the officer had all to do with reactions upon the meeting - Will Hunting Aug 19, 17:38 3
    - I've stayed away from commenting on that part of this only because there are a LOT of self-serving statements that seem to cover the full range of who - TWuG Aug 19, 17:43
    - There's a rumor going around twitter that he hadn't taken the headshot until he was standing over brown, disabled on the ground -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 17:41 1
      - And it's Twitter so it has as much chance of being right as Paris Hilton about anything. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 17:44
Beaker, you can draft now. -- nm - David Aug 19, 17:17 6
- Giovani Bernard Cin - RB -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 17:40 4
  - He was not kept? -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 17:43 2
    - He might have been third on a monster team. No one was trading over there. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 17:46
    - fucking cavemen! -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 17:44
  - posted and added on Yahoo -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 17:42
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I invoke.....THE STACY RULE!! - Bacon Aug 19, 17:21

- Did you get that thing I sent you? -- nm - Peter Potamus Aug 19, 16:59
- Gah!! -- (link) - mara Aug 19, 16:50 5
  - OK, one was funny. 25 is... Someone has a sickness. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 19, 16:57 3
    - The subreddit motto! -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 17:45
    - If the sickness is a Thunderdome circuit featuring those giraffe brutes, sign me up. -- nm - Max Aug 19, 16:59
    - I think the strutting kitten was the funniest to me. But, yeah. -- nm - mara Aug 19, 16:57
  - wth -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:52
Meanwhile, in Russia... -- (link) - Reagen Aug 19, 16:47 [Image] 1

Oh yeah, I watched Margin Call last night. It was *a'ight*. - con_carne Aug 19, 16:28 1

  - It is rather great. - Spawn Aug 19, 16:31
  - you watched the whole thing? -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 16:30 1
    - I tried, about 1/2 of it. then again, I am far from the target audience -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 19, 16:31
Ray Ray -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 16:12

Cavemen:: I'll likely draft tonight. just have to put the kids to bed and then update my burn list. IT BEGINS! -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 15:47 12
- (do I start our draft thread? or do Kim/David/moderator do it normally?) -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 15:48 11
  - You wait until the league is activated, for starters. -- nm - David Aug 19, 15:50 10
    - see, Astronauts holding us down! No wonder we can't ever keep up (sorry) - Beaker Aug 19, 15:52 9
      - It may be ready in a while. A lot depends on what we can get done over the next couple of hours. -- nm - David Aug 19, 16:08 8
        
        Keep stalling Cavemen. It's funny when they are last -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:09 7
        
        Vampirates are the knuckle draggers right now. -- nm - David Aug 19, 16:14 6
        
        Sad but true -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:21 5
        
        But to be fair. It's not like we have all Summer to set keepers -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:21 4
        
        Also. I am totally teasing Samara. Our league is much much better with her in it. - Bacon Aug 19, 16:24 3
        
        Butter her up all you want, she'll still step on your knees, groin and throat on the way to the throne. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 16:40 2
        
        Samara is the Vampirate who would do best playing the game of thrones. -- nm - David Aug 19, 17:15
        
        Only if she shows up. *looks at Meg* the crow flies at midnight -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 16:42

went in for 5 fillings today.. on the 5th ("the tiny one") discovered it was just a hole to my nerve bundle. great. root canal. plus 5 more fillings - colin Aug 19, 15:22 28
- beer diet this weekend -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 19, 15:33
- You should have stopped at 4 fillings. - Bacon Aug 19, 15:24 6
  - I've never had one at all, knock on wood. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:30
  - yeah, it was actually way easier than having fillings. and this tooth is already opened up, so should be fast. - colin Aug 19, 15:27 4
    - I had an exposed hole to a root bundle once. Had some food in it and used a water pick to get it out. - Bacon Aug 19, 15:30 3
      - yeah, dentist puffed air into the hole and that was.. rough. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:31 1
        
        Yowie! -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:32
      - ow ow ow -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:31

  - i need to floss more... ugh. my wife... no issues. i've always had bad teeth. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:28 16
    - I'm the rare person who actually flosses daily. My dental hygienist is always so happy with me. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 19, 15:36 4
      - It takes 15 seconds. I really don't understand why people are so unwilling to do it. -- nm - David Aug 19, 15:51 2
        
        Well, for people in TN, it's easy. Just wrap the 3 teeth and you're done. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 15:57 1
        
        ^this. -- nm - Remlik Aug 19, 16:14
      - after this, no more. don't know why i don't, but this is an expensive painful reminder that it's worth the 2 minutes a day. -- nm - colin Aug 19, 15:38
    - I am bad at flossing too. Something that has really helped me are those plastic flossers because you can floss anytime -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:31 8
      - You know what motivates me? My mom got full dentures when she was 35. -- nm - loosi in the sky with diamonds Aug 19, 15:31 6
        
        Wow -- nm - Bacon Aug 19, 15:39 5
