- Says you! -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 09:13

- you need to take a break then! -- nm - decline Oct 2, 09:14
dudes, i need some suggestions. I am not a church-y person, but i need to get a gift for my nephew for his baptism - Andie Oct 2, 08:43 21
- I like your idea, I've seen that starting to pop up for baby showers, where everyone is asked to bring a children's book to start the kid's library - znufrii Oct 2, 09:04
- A crucifix that turns into a dagger, so the little fella can pray *and* protect himself in the zombie apocalypse. -- (link) - Loyola Oct 2, 08:59
- Get him his very first Little Black Book. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:54
- does he have any enemies? Baptisms are a great alabi. -- nm - Michael Corleone Oct 2, 08:49
- I like your idea - very original, and personal. -- nm - Covington Oct 2, 08:46
- Churchy books are a good option. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:46 15
  - "we are not churchy". if we get books it will be like, Lord of the Rings, and The Phantom Tollbooth, and The Call of the Wild. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:47 14
    - They aren't either? Why bother getting the child baptised then? -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:54 13
      - for the presents, duh. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 08:58 3
        
        truthfully, i think 90% of it s the baptism gown her family has. It's well over 100 years old, and everyone gets baptized in it. plus, you embroider - Andie Oct 2, 09:00 2
        
        that's definitely a good reason. -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 09:01
        
        that is so very awesome -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 09:00
      - so many families do this. they go to church for 4 weeks, get the child baptised and you never see them again. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 08:56
      - family tradition. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:54 7
        
        How... odd. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:55 4
        
        (her family, not ours. they are Finnish and go to church, maybe, on Christmas Eve. etc.) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:56 3
        
        heh, Christmas Eve is one of the few times I like to go. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:56 2
        
        see? :) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:57 1
        
        But I am as far from religious as you can get without being in a cult. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:58
        
        (it's not my decision. obviously) - Andie Oct 2, 08:55 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 08:59
Mel, you have an address now. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:25 4
- emailed him in-game to start the conversation and will try and continue via email. - Mel Profit Oct 2, 08:40 2
  - ok -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 08:54
  - Thank you. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:53
- Thanks. I appreciate it. I'll do it now. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 2, 08:26
Texas is now monitoring 80-100 people who potentially came into contact with our Ebola patient zero -- (link) - decline Oct 2, 08:20 8
- i know when SARS hit Toronto, the quarantines were *serious*. If you were anywhere *near* someone (you walked down the same hallway) who even might - Andie Oct 2, 08:29 1
  - (now, that said, there is plenty of evidence that it wasn't necessarily needed, but of course at that point, they weren't sure, so....) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:31
- Remember the talks about Texas wanting to leve the US? - Spawn Oct 2, 08:25 1
  - heh -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 08:46
- "I say nuke the entire state from orbit, its the only way to be sure." -- nm - Hicks Oct 2, 08:23 3
  - But I live here! -- nm - Roo Oct 2, 08:25 2
    - we will remember you fondly, pour a 40 at the next vegas gathering ...uh wait, who was that? you know? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 12:11
    - *looks at watch* *shakes head* -- nm - Lex Luthor Oct 2, 08:26
MLB: SF Giants are just a dangerous team. - budice Oct 2, 08:20
is "Superdutch" just the architectural equivalent of the Comic Sans font? -- (link) - znufrii Oct 2, 08:07 10
- i know most people hate this stuff, but i like architectural risks. otherwise you end up in a city of grey brick boxes. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:19 3
  - Public places everywhere deserve a distinctive look and a distinctive skyline -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 08:50
  - If they didn't have the projections of fruit and whatnot on the inside, I'd like it a lot better - znufrii Oct 2, 08:44
  - Well, brown brick boxes with tan faux-stucco accents. -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 08:22
- Just like all attempts at "modern -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 08:16 1
  - architecture, it'll age poorly and look dated very quickly. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 08:17
- this reminds me - Superbad by Jesse McCarthy sounds like a Micheal Jackson song to me. I like it -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 08:15
- Only if they start giving whimsical designs to funeral homes and such. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 08:13
- No. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 08:11
- Meh. Looks like downtown Vegas to me. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 08:08
Xmas shopping ideas - Star Wars phone cases for $ 10 shipped! -- (link) - Epiphany Oct 2, 08:03 4
- If I had an iphone I would get the Luke vs Vader one, for sure. - Spawn Oct 2, 08:21
- i like the Chewbacca one. (i am no Star Wars geek, but that's cute.) -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 08:04 2
  - I like that one the best. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 2, 08:07
  - seems like a very cheap gift but I don't know any Star Wars fans -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 08:06
*gasp* How has ST missed this exciting new Bitcoin news? -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 2, 08:02 5
- That so cool *wants to go into bit mining* -- nm - Roo Oct 2, 08:16 4
  - BitCoin mining is too expensive now. Typical computer would take eons to mine a whole coin. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 08:17 3
    - There are other currencies you can still mine for profit. -- nm - landbeck Oct 2, 08:22 2
      - how does one do this anyway? -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 08:29
      - Yes, this is true. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 08:23
after man collapses in his driveway while mowing his lawn, firefighters finish mowing it for him. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 2, 07:57
"They are each charged with one count of carnal knowledge of a juvenile".. I've never heard this phrasing before. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 07:52
There is a ‘nightmare’ chance that the Ebola virus could become airborne if the epidemic is not brought under control fast enough, the chief of the UN - Loyola Oct 2, 07:47 6
- The only strain of Ebola that was airborne was only contagious to monkeys -- nm - Roo Oct 2, 07:58 1
  - What a relief! - Spawn Oct 2, 08:01
- I'm no scientists, but HIV hasn't become airborne. -- nm - ty97 Oct 2, 07:51 3
  - Right, and from everything I' -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 07:52 2
    - ve read, that is the best corollary. I mean, in theory it could become airborne but I could also sprout wings and fly (in theory). -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 07:53 1
      - It's be the ultimate ruler if it became sentient. "Don't agree with me? Liquefy!" -- nm - colin Oct 2, 07:56
What do we think about the movie The Judge - it looks boring as hell - but its got talent in it? - Epiphany Oct 2, 07:47 18
- It looks like a movie that Oscar will love. -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 08:14 1
  - Watching Robert Duvall take a crap for two hours ain't my kind of movie. -- nm - Oscar Oct 2, 08:16
- I really have no clue what it is about -- nm - amoxy Oct 2, 08:13 4
  - hotshot defense lawyer RDJ has to defend his estranged judge father Robert Duvall in a court of law shortly after he comes home ot bury his mother. - Diva Oct 2, 08:21 3
    - same style as The Soloist, I expect -- nm - Max Oct 2, 08:27
    - Yeah, Downey being slick ... easy role and money. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 2, 08:26 1
      - "oh we're not done" = tom cruise "I haven't dismissed you yet" -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 2, 12:15
- It looks less exciting than second-hand lions, but still could be quality. That doesn't mean it will make bank. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 2, 08:07
- I can't believe it's priced as high as it is. Thinking along the lines of a 10-12 opener tops. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 07:48 4
  - i hadn't looked, yeah, that just got shorted. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 07:50 3
    - Runaway Jury, which would have had more appeal, I would have thought, only scored 11; -- (link) - Loyola Oct 2, 07:53 2
      - Not sure why you'd think it'd have more appeal. RDJ is inarguably more a draw than John Cusack and 2003 is almost pre-historic in terms of box office - Will Hunting Oct 2, 08:05 1
        
        It looks incredibly boring in comparison to RJ and I think the wider economy has reverted back to 2003 levels. - Loyola Oct 2, 08:12
- Downey, Duvall, Thornton. Yeah, I'll watch it. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 07:48
- i feel like i should want to see it, but i don't. -- nm - Andie Oct 2, 07:48 1
  - this is how I feel too!! -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 2, 08:53
- It looks like one of those boring dramas that should be solid based on the performances. - Shaun Oct 2, 07:47
- If he breaks out the Iron Man suit, it might be worth it -- nm - budice Oct 2, 07:47
Catch Up Post... - Mel Profit Oct 2, 07:24 3
- Anyway you could shoot me an email regarding last night? - Spawn Oct 2, 07:35 2
  - sorry, passed out last night. I can email him now. - Mel Profit Oct 2, 07:38 1
    - done -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 07:46
did we discuss the "Charlie Sheen pulls a knife on his dentist" story yet? - Andie Oct 2, 07:22 7
- Who goes to their dentist with a knife on them anyway? odd. He's a weird duck -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 07:37 5
  - your dentist pulls a drill, you pull a knife... -- nm - sean connery Oct 2, 07:42 4
    - Don't bring a knife to a gum fight. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 07:42 2
      - Stick around. -- (link) - Shaun Oct 2, 07:51 [youtube]
      - YOU! - colin Oct 2, 07:49
    - :) -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 07:42
- I figure his teeth are long since rotted. Blech. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 07:28
I've had this running for a few hours now... -- (link) - colin Oct 2, 07:14 [youtube] 1
- Stephen Colbert disapproves. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 07:16
<sarcasm>Oh goodie...</sarcasm> Just got an email that my building will be piloting a "recycling" program... - Ender Oct 2, 07:07 10
- We have been doing this for years. It actually cuts down on garbage a lot more than you think.... - Walt_Disney Oct 2, 07:52
- My building does one, but its all a scam. They have the different bins, but it all goes out with the regular trash... - budice Oct 2, 07:47
- yeah - we have something like that too. -- nm - Diva Oct 2, 07:17
- After I left my old company they took away everyone's trash cans as part of a "recycling" program telling everyone to take their trash to the kitchen. - spamlet Oct 2, 07:14 1
  - smart people. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 07:16
- How demeaning. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 07:12
- just swap your trash can with someone that leaves before you do. easy! -- nm - colin Oct 2, 07:09 3
  - They suggest carrying your trash can with you every time you fill your coffee or use the restroom. -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 07:34 1
    - They can't allow you to make specialised garbage runs. That would be inefficient. -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 07:44
  - niiiice -- nm - Capstern Oct 2, 07:09
FFB - Start 2 - Gore, Bradshaw, Sankey, McKinnon? -- nm - Capstern Oct 2, 07:05 3
- Gore. I call him my little bulldog - Epiphany Oct 2, 07:19 2
  - figured Gore the other is the question -- nm - Capstern Oct 2, 07:29
  - Your IM describes my WANG! -- nm - gRoin Oct 2, 07:21
I'm gonna be streaming Five Nights at Freddy's. Ya'll are invited! -- nm - Roo Oct 2, 07:03 2
- When? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 2, 07:19 1
  - Probably about 5 pm cst. -- nm - Roo Oct 2, 07:21
Has anybody played Outlast? I have not been this creeped out by a game in... a long time. -- (link) - colin Oct 2, 07:02 [youtube] 6
- I have it downloaded on my PS4, but have never played it. I actually don't like horror games at all, but it's there in case I want to try. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 07:20 5
  - I downloaded it and played it up until I got into the building then remembered why I don't play horror games. -- nm - Ender Oct 2, 07:37 3
    - Same here. I'd gladly sit and watch someone play it, but there's just something unnerving about actually playing it. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 07:38 2
      - Deadspace was like that. -- nm - Jovian Oct 2, 08:21
      - Same with the P.T. teaser. -- nm - Shaun Oct 2, 07:47
  - play with the lights out, sound up. having some people watch is good too.. -- nm - colin Oct 2, 07:26
Brandon Crawford's sister was torn when he hit the Grand Slam last night -- (link) - amoxy Oct 2, 06:58
Last night I told my brother he had to watch the Babadook trailer because it gave me nightmares. He did, and shrugged, "eh, I'm fine." So - Max Oct 2, 06:45 6
- Just watched Lights Out. I now hate you. -- nm - MDH Oct 2, 07:29 1
  - Watch it again before you go to sleep tonight. -- nm - Max Oct 2, 07:47
- I guess I should watch Lights Out too then. - Spawndroid Oct 2, 06:56 3
  - Make sure you watch it on a large screen (not mobile) and in a quiet room. It needs your full attention for full effect. -- (link) - Max Oct 2, 07:04 [youtube] 1
    - banana bookmark - Spawndroid Oct 2, 07:12
  - Yeah, I agree with Spawn. I must be missing something with Babadook trailer - amoxy Oct 2, 06:59
when's lunch? -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 2, 06:40 1
- Right now! You're an adult! You can eat at 10AM! -- nm - colin Oct 2, 06:44
So if two teams end up tied for the last wildcard spot, is there a tiebreaker or is there a 1 game playoff for the right to play a 1 game playoff? -- nm - Tim Oct 2, 06:32 7
- Make the season 300 games long to help avoid possible ties. Then if there is a tie, a 13 game playoff to see who goes to the next round -- nm - Bacon Oct 2, 07:03 3
  - That would be so awesome. -- nm - spamlet Oct 2, 07:55
  - "And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned." -- nm - Tim Oct 2, 07:10 1
    - Woah woah woah, we can't have that. A sack race would be more exciting than our game and overshadow it. -- nm - Baseball Oct 2, 07:13
- Is it possible to take this one step further? - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 06:59
- Yeah, one game for one game, just like last years AL. - Will Hunting Oct 2, 06:44
- one-game playoff, considered part of the regular season for statistical purposes -- nm - znufrii Oct 2, 06:37
because choosing who to vote for is just like buying a wedding dress. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 2, 06:30 2
- "Pick any style you want, so long as it's white." -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 06:52
- The ad was awkward as most campaign ads, but I chuckled at it. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 2, 06:40
