Looking for sectional sofas for our new family room is odd. Prices are all over the damn place - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 14, 10:51 18
- Yeah, we have two of them. - Spawn Nov 14, 10:57 4
  - I figure it will last 10 years, so $200 a year for a sofa is fine. I'm totally trying to make it seem reasonable. - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 14, 10:58 3
    - A shitty one is probably $1k, so might as well get a good one that you love. -- nm - Shaun Nov 14, 11:01 2

NFL: Jay Cutler's onerous contract and five others like it -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 14, 10:04 10

  - wow, this is supposed to go up one. (typing on my phone) -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Nov 14, 10:12

NBA to put first names on jerseys -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 14, 10:01 3
- is this like marketing Coors as a new beer because it has a bowtie shaped can? -- nm - colin Nov 14, 10:05 2
  - Vented cans!!!! -- nm - Shaun Nov 14, 10:27
  - No. It's a way to sell more jerseys. Just like NASCAR does with modifying paint schemes. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 14, 10:06

    - not very. it's kind of charming in a basic way. -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:17 22
      - that place has major charm. love the floors, love the fire burning stove, really cool -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 14, 10:47
      - I like it. Nothing looks like it needs to be addressed - floors, walls, space, color, yard, is all fine. Deck space and garage shelves are good - Max Nov 14, 10:22 4
        
        note that it's almost nonexistent from the street. it's sideways on the lot. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:36
        
        I think that's the wine cellar. (right???) -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:24 2
        
        I suppose you could store wine in an oubliette. -- nm - Max Nov 14, 10:25 1
        
        Also, it can be used to store fired guests, aka "The ty97 suite" -- nm - Max Nov 14, 10:53
      - also, will you hate on this house, please? -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:20 13

        ann likes this house better for me than the lytle house. she says it's a better location, closer to campus for walkability. - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:39 6
        
        sorry I'm talking to myself. ann also likes this one better. -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:41 5

        look, if you're not going to be on my side, you can't drink my cellared wine! -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:46 2
        
        All I'm saying is, go to the open house, swipe the tapes, and then by the oubliette house. Easy peasy. -- nm - Max Nov 14, 10:49 1
        
        who needs cassette tapes, you can always come to slacker talk if you want to hear some hissing -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 14, 11:00
        
        the stainless clad appliances seem installed ironically, the white cabinettes sarcastically, and I would ask them how much the price got reduced.... - zeitgeist Nov 14, 10:27

        I am not at all a fan of blank counters with white cabinets. At all. - ty97 Nov 14, 10:22
      - It looks great! Although it's not a cook's kitchen. - ty97 Nov 14, 10:19 1
        
        my thought is that I can upgrade to increase resale if I want. (I don't really want.) -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 14, 10:22

  - I know. I just think many of them really want the best for the animals, but the organization prefers to make news for being extreme. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 09:34 2
    - The problem boils down to what they, and the organization, thinks is "best for the animals." - Scots-IrishStephen Nov 14, 09:39 1
