spotted on facebook -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:53 [Image] 2
- AWESOME. -- nm - kelly Aug 20, 10:55
- Too soon? -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:55
done -- nm - Beaker Aug 20, 10:49
this is a great post. "CSI: Minecraft" from penny arcade. (Not a comic.) -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:35
Because, apparently, God doesn't think I'm getting enough exercise, he placed this little one in my path today. - Mop Aug 20, 10:33 [Image] 18
- I don't understand -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:46 10
  - Now i understand. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:48 9
    - i obviously missed something. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 10:52 8
      - It correlates with a facebook post by IrishStephen -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:53
      - yeah me too. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 10:52 6
        
        The joke is tied into Stephen's FB post about a stray puppy -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:54 5
        
        Word for word. -- nm - Mop Aug 20, 10:56
        
        I don't get how kate moss is involved. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 10:55 3
        
        didn't you comment on his FB post? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:57 2
        
        because of mop's comment here! -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 10:58 1
        
        ah -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:58
- bwhahaha -- nm - oblique Aug 20, 10:42
- my life sux -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Aug 20, 10:40
- You should have kept her. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 10:40
- uh.... -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 10:34 3
  - "looks a bit like kate moss." - Mop Aug 20, 10:41 1
    - I only posted that on fb because of your link. -- nm - peggy ann m Aug 20, 10:45
  - we know why she was running now. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:35
dearest astronauts - crash davis Aug 20, 10:13 41
- If you were in Vampirates you wouldn't need to submit a list or worry about work interference -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:20 21
  - I cleared my schedule for most of the day to be around. - Krusty Aug 20, 10:28 20
    - I am off today but not because of the draft. As long as we get the draft in before the season starts I am fine with it. - Bacon Aug 20, 10:34
    - I'm truly sorry. I don't know what to do. She hasn't posted since August 7. - David Aug 20, 10:31 18
      - I had an email conversation with her on Aug 8. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 10:50 1
        
        I hope you can account for your whereabouts since then! -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:55
      - Yeah, I also hope she is okay. That said, she's never been a spammer like me on ST. She takes long breaks. -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:35
      - I'm not upset at all. I just want to be around so my picks are well thought out and not rushed because I'm walking around - Krusty Aug 20, 10:34 2
        
        If this goes beyond today I think we need a 48 hour down time after she sets keepers. Just to be fair to everyone -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:35 1
        
        Didn't we start a day late last year? We're starting a pattern. As long as we're done before the games start we'll be fine -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 10:37
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Finally, the other Vamps will have a chance! - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 20, 10:57
      - I assume emails are not being returned? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:32 9
        
        Correct. I sent her a friendly email this morning -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 10:35
        
        I emailed her around 9. I don't know if anyone else had prior to today. - David Aug 20, 10:35 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        No reply? -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:36 5

        you call your penis Mewelde Moore? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:40 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        because it is purple? -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:49
        
        The Octagon. -- nm - Inigo Aug 20, 10:47
- I am at lunch for another 45 minutes. -- nm - Spawndroid Aug 20, 10:14 18
  - You're up right now fwiw. -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:15 17
    - my offer to Will below stands, if he gets desperate and accepts it, please confirm on my behalf -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 10:19 16
      - I think Will just wants to draft his team right now while the rest of us wait politely. -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:20 15
        
        we should let him, and them mock him forever when he does not win -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:26 12
        
        I think that would be a fun Vampirates experiment. Everyone lets Bacon pick his team first then sees if he can win. -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:28 11
        
        L3. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 20, 10:50
        
        The second I read groiny's post I knew this was coming. -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:29 3
        
        How did you pick up three extra first round picks that year anyway? -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:32 2
        
        I am good at trading, horrible at drafting. I had a Samara type team and cut some deals with the extra pieces. -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:52
        
        look at his knees. -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:32
        
        or crash, because he is using 2008's draft guide this season. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:28 4
        
        speak louder, your voice is getting blocked by my 2011 astro third place, 2012 FJS championship and 2013 Astro championship trophies -- nm - crash davis Aug 20, 10:35 3
        
        daymn.....Crash just schooled groiny. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 10:49 1
        
        well, to be honest, that 3rd place trophy is small. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:57
        
        *secretely puts a dozen milk bones in crash's pants leg* -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 10:39
        
        With 3 playoff rounds....probably not. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 10:28
        
        No, I want to move up without gutting the entirety of the actual championship rounds - Will Hunting Aug 20, 10:26 1
        
        Settle down, Beavis. We're just taunting you. -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:27
Why does Inigo have 2 picks in round 2 and i have none? - amoxy Aug 20, 10:04 8
- I don't know. I assumed my predecessor made a good deal of trades since I pick at odd times during the draft. -- nm - Inigo Aug 20, 10:07 3
  - Check the order. - David Aug 20, 10:09 2
    - That's right, then. I didn't see the pattern until now. -- nm - Inigo Aug 20, 10:11 1
      - It's the old Fanball rules, and Fanball isn't even an active URL any longer. - David Aug 20, 10:14
- I just messed up in substituting the new names (znu/inigo) for the old ones. -- nm - David Aug 20, 10:07 1
  - Thank you. You are a good commissioner -- nm - amoxy Aug 20, 10:08
- *takes back post saying Amoxy is a top player in his league* -- nm - David si Aug 20, 10:06
- the system is rigged -- nm - decline Aug 20, 10:06
"Rumpl" ... not sure if it was posted here. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:03 2
- "I went to a magical kickstarter party and all I got was bacon" - a review of the launch party for Rumpl -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:04 1
  - last line's the best: "They took a thing that already existed and removed utility from it. They removed the zipper, made $200,000, and fed us pork." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:07

NFL referee Mike Carey quietly refused to work Washington's games because of team name -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 20, 09:57 3
- Does anyone know if Simms actually said Redskins during the game? - David Aug 20, 09:58 2
  - I saw that on PTI but I'm not sure if he followed through or not. Although I think it would be easy for an announce to just say "Washington" always. - volnelk Aug 20, 10:00 1
    - Yes, the substitution itself is pretty simple, it's just remembering to do it. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 10:09

Crazy video of fish jumping all over, with kids laughing -- (link) - Bacon Aug 20, 09:54 [youtube] 4
- Asian Carp are evil ... if they ever get into the Great Lakes - we are dooomed. -- nm - JenBro Aug 20, 10:19 2
  - I saw a story on it. They are all the way up to the last dam where they are working very hard to keep them out of. -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 10:21
  - [deleted]
- that *is* crazy. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 09:56
Obama presser about the slain journalist, live on CBS (probably other stations as well) -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 09:51 1

anxious. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 09:46 5
- ok, checked in. Now another hour or two before I need to head to the airport. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 09:56 3
  - now you know why there are bars in every airport -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 20, 10:12 1
    - Good point. Too bad I don't drink. (Sidenote: Our airport only got a bar in the past two years.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 10:13
  - I will wave to you as you fly over my head -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 09:56
- ~~woosah~~ -- nm - decline Aug 20, 09:50
the whole thing on B2 about the kid suspension after killing a dinosaur w/ a gun? totally absurd . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 20, 09:41 6
- teachers are in a tough spot on this: if they ignore things that they've been told to look out for, they can be written up or worse - Reagen Aug 20, 09:48 2
  - [deleted]
  - Yeah, suspension makes no sense to me here. But I can understand teachers' sensitivity based on past school violence events -- nm - ty97 Aug 20, 09:53
- If the world is becoming anti-gun, that's a huge win for all. -- nm - David Aug 20, 09:45 1
  - Except we are allowing guns to be everywhere, but the word gun is being banned. - Bacon Aug 20, 09:49
- It teaches kids that life is definitely unfair. Check your common sense at the door, because the country is fucked up -- nm - Bacon Aug 20, 09:43
I read The Martian faster than I've ever read any other book. That was fanfreakingtastic. - prayformojo Aug 20, 09:39 1

As Vampirates waits for it's draft to begin. Hardest Hitting.....Kicker? -- (link) - Bacon Aug 20, 09:36 3

Police stopped a car travelling the wrong way along a motorway by crashing into it head-on. -- (link) - LMS Aug 20, 09:22 3
- I think that "head on" is inaccurate. Other reports say they crash into the side of the car. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 09:36
- "the driver of the car had shown no intention to stop travelling in the wrong direction." -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 20, 09:32 1

    - What would you give for the next pick? I'm after nubby. -- nm - David Aug 20, 09:39 6
      - My 5&6 for that and your 10th. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 09:40 5
        
        That's effectively a 5-10 for 3-6 in exchange for 6-3. Come on. -- nm - David Aug 20, 09:43 4
        
        Shrug, it's more 56 & 63 for 30 & 114 -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 09:47 3
        
        To compare last year's draft, it's James Jones and Kenjon Barker for Lance Moore and Joe Flacco. -- nm - Reagen Aug 20, 09:51 2
