Prepare to be disgusted. NSFW. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:26 5
- the picture clarity is awful. but it is a very clever ad. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 14:31
- I get an error, nothing there. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 14:29 3
  - twitter gifs require flash, that could be the problem. Trust me ... you might be better off not seeing it. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:30 2
    - Huh, I saw it on my phone. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:34
    - I'm on my phone so that could be it. Thanks for the explanation. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 14:32
OK, here are the avatar concept images I sent to Spawn. Note the *lack* of avatars on the board display itself. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:22 16
- Sweet, another way to make up for my lack of personality -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 14:35
- not bad -- nm - Karl_S Sep 10, 14:33
- What's the purpose of these again? The rationale for creating/using them? - TWuG Sep 10, 14:26 4
  - For a serious answer - I'm not certain it needs to be done on ST itself, but as part of wtBoard (if I ever succeed in selling it as a product) it - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:35
  - The benefit is shutting spwan up. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:27 2
    - Did you try just kicking him in the shins? -- nm - TWuG Sep 10, 14:27 1
      - but ... -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:29 [youtube]
- I better not see any of your junk, people. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:24 2
  - I was only planning to use Gravatar, so it would have G/PG/R ratings (and would only show G avatars) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:26 1
    - [deleted]
- [deleted] 5
  - I like a clean board. Have you considered showing avatars at the top of a board so it is easy to see who is around? Like, if you post on a board - rollo Sep 10, 14:27 4
    - I like that idea. -- nm - mara Sep 10, 14:29
    - I've considered something similar. Other forum software tracks recent logged in users (and even tallies anonymous users). Could do something similar. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:27 2

        Oh, right, I should explain what's happening in the pictures. - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:30
I'll finish out this season in my money fantasy and pick em leagues, but I will try my best to never watch another NFL game this season -- nm - CQ Sep 10, 14:20 1
- I could get behind this. I don't buy NFL products so I can't cut that out. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 14:34

This is amusing - an australian guy has a very similar name to a BC reporter, and it has caused some twitter confusion -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:13 2
- [deleted] 1
  - Well, that's just unfortunate. This one is, at least, amusing. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:18

- day off obvie -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 14:45
- Has signage ever stopped a NYC pedestrian? You're tougher than that! -- nm - Max Sep 10, 14:35
- If you show your work I.D. won't they let you get to work? -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 14:23 1
  - Seriously, what's that badge good for? -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:25
- that's not the question. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 14:22 1
  - the construction crew has to leave some minimal access. even if it is to make everyone go thru the garage -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 14:29
- Spider-man. -- nm - Mop Sep 10, 14:17

- hang glider -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 14:12
- I guess I just don't understand the east coast. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:12
It has rained 36 of the last 48 hours. Not a light, pleasant rain. Buckets. Big Buckets. - TWuG Sep 10, 14:10 2
- *sigh* -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 14:12
- Groiny's heart just skipped a few beats -- nm - zork Sep 10, 14:12
NFL received the video 3 months ago -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:00 10
- Hey, that's me! NFL is still denying it. -- nm - volnelk Sep 10, 14:19
- I feel naive for being surprised by this - con_carne Sep 10, 14:17
- bye Roger -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 14:09
- More here -- (link) - mara Sep 10, 14:03 6
  - that's bad. -- nm - zork Sep 10, 14:06
  - *looks down* Dammit, Bery! -- nm - mara Sep 10, 14:04 4
    - Did I dupe? sorry. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 14:08 3

      - BANHAMMER!!! -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 14:10
Puzzlement of the morning. I mentioned to the young man at the market meat counter that it seemed steaks were being cut much thinner than usual.... - Meg Sep 10, 13:59 10
- people will pay $10 for a piece of steak, when it gets over that, they decide on pork chops or something else, so yeah, they cut thinner till people - zeitgeist Sep 10, 14:49
- I just buy a $50 hunk of ribeye every few months at Costco and cut them myself -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 14:07
- Will they cut steaks to order? -- nm - mara Sep 10, 14:05
- If they're selling them packaged that makes a certain amount of sense. - mafic Sep 10, 14:04 3
  - this is what happens when butchers are replaced by meatcutters. they probably just default to the way they cut them for prepackaging.... - x Sep 10, 14:30
  - They have them pre-packaged and in bulk. I don't know if they'd still have the primal cuts in back that they could slice to order. -- nm - Meg Sep 10, 14:06 1
    - Primal cuts sounds so... carnivorous. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:09
- don't they sell by weight? - zork Sep 10, 14:01 2
  - Exactly - either way it's a pound and will cost the same. But a steak so thin it's transparent is *not* a steak. -- nm - Meg Sep 10, 14:05 1
    - And won't cook right if it's thin. That sucks. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 14:25

- It could also be that you make all the staff stand while you leave. -- nm - spamlet Sep 10, 14:05 2
  - while using your phone to play a recording of "Pomp and Circumstance." -- nm - mara Sep 10, 14:06 1
    - The crown's a nice touch, but the sceptre is a little much. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:10
- Do the hand wave as you stride down the hall. -- nm - Max Sep 10, 14:00

- He gone. Who's the next NFL commish? -- nm - Inigo Sep 10, 14:08 13
  - At this rate, acting commish Tagliabue sounds right till they can get a full-time search done. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 14:27 1

  - [deleted] 4
    - Right, there's 1 dude you maybe cover for ... Peyton and that's it. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 10, 14:24 1
      - [deleted]
    - Yeah, I still don't get it. He wasn't *that* popular. - Inigo Sep 10, 14:11 1
      - I think the typical coverup mentality doesn't involve rational cost-benefit analysis. You just assume nobody will ever find out. - mafic Sep 10, 14:17
- Yeah, but they didn't think anyone else would see it. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:02

The Rams lost a DE already. I find this ironic. -- nm - MDH Sep 10, 13:47 3
- It's no big deal. They can take Sam if they want him. -- nm - David Sep 10, 14:06
- Is it like rain? -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 13:48 1
  - Only if it's a wedding with you and I. -- nm - MDH Sep 10, 13:50
TB just lost their best corner, Mike Jenkins, for the season with a pectoral injury. - David Sep 10, 13:40 6
- I read: a pterodactyl injury -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 13:43 5
  - the pectoral regional should be either the lips or the groin - zork Sep 10, 13:44 4
    - as opposed to giant flying dinosaur -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 13:46 3
      - Those do not injure you. - Spawn Sep 10, 13:47 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        You should also not fold anything into a pectoral. -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 10, 13:56

      - I never will forget, he had been playing a little on the tablet and I got it for him for x-box. - Spawn Sep 10, 14:17
      - It's completely open-ended. That's what I love about it. Explore, build, fight, play out the storyline, etc. - TWuG Sep 10, 13:54 2
        
        I had no idea there was a storyline. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 14:05 1
        
        Yep. You need to build a portal to go to the netherworld and then do something there to go to The End and fight the Boss. - TWuG Sep 10, 14:08
  - I've never played it. I can see some of the appeal, though. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:32 2
    - this. maybe this weekend I'll look into it. -- nm - zork Sep 10, 13:45
    - Yeah, that's about where I am. I'll never play it, but I can see the appeal in building stuff. -- nm - mafic Sep 10, 13:35
Since there are only 1,000 of them, people are scalping Olive Garden's Neverending Pasta Pass -- (link) - con_carne Sep 10, 13:23 12
- OG hasn't been around here for years which is fine because the bloating afterward was horrible -- nm - zork Sep 10, 13:43
- I'd rather spend $ 10 at a real Italian Restaurant -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 13:38 7
  - Thank you! Overcooked pasta is awful no matter how cheap the cost. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 13:56 1
    - If I told you how many times I've been to the Olive Garden, I think you would cry - con_carne Sep 10, 14:08
  - The plane ticket to Italy is a bitch, though. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 13:40
  - that'll get you a bottle of Chianti :) -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 10, 13:39 3
    - maybe in your region but here $10 would be for a glass -- nm - zork Sep 10, 13:49 1
