  - An example of how NY and StL should have handled things? -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 14:42 1
    - Just to be stupidly defesive and pedantic (there's no real reason but), NYC actually handled it well, best I can tell. - ty97 Dec 4, 14:47
- nah brah, those are just hand cuddles -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 14:32

- just a little kiss? or handsy panties? -- nm - Max Dec 4, 14:39
- I wouldn't admit it but you sure as heck better believe I'd do it -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 13:59 5

    - The SS generaly tries to give them reasonable space on the grounds - Will Hunting Dec 4, 14:14 1
      - oh, i wouldn't expect them to stop you from doing anything, but i would just be so paranoid that they were secretly watching, or at least, close - Andie Dec 4, 14:24
    - until this year I wouldn't think they elude them more than the SS looking the other way. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 4, 14:03 1
      - or the SS handler was an active participant.... -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 14:07
Marvel Netflix: Krysten Ritter is Jessica Jones.... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 4, 13:35 1

  - Part of me wants to max out my allowed 401K contribution for 2015. - ty97 Dec 4, 13:37 15
    - what does your employer match? - colin Dec 4, 13:38 14
      - I don't have a Roth, just my employer 401K. They give 2% automatically and additionally match 1:1 up to 6% - ty97 Dec 4, 13:57
      - matched and max are often not the same thing/amount in a 401K. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 13:44 4
        
        federal gov sets your max contribution per year, right? -- nm - colin Dec 4, 13:45 3
        
        IIRC, max is $17500 for 2014 plus $5500 for those over 50. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 13:48 2
        
        Yep and it's 18,000 for 2015. That would be...tough. -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 13:57 1
        
        yonh. -- nm - Diva Dec 4, 14:02
      - *finger to nose*matched money is free money and 100% return right off the bat -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 13:39 7
        
        i really don't understand why people don't at least put in up to the matching amount. -- nm - colin Dec 4, 13:42 6
        
        I had it available to me early on. I only took advantage of it a few years later. I still feel stupid. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 4, 13:48 2
        
        I miss my stupid sexy 401k. - groiny Dec 4, 13:50
        
        i shudder when i think about all the money iv'e wasted over the years. as long as we learn, all good. -- nm - colin Dec 4, 13:49
        
        it's like turning down a raise. -- nm - Andie Dec 4, 13:43 2
        
        ...if you were to take the entire raise and put it into savings. -- nm - Max Dec 4, 14:04
        
        free money? naaah. -- nm - colin Dec 4, 13:44

- there's another article linked here that mentions "binge saving"... - Mel Profit Dec 4, 13:28

BF Relegation: make Astro's #1. Bottom 2 teams drop to Caveman, top 2 in Caveman move up, bottom 2 drop to Vamps - Beaker Dec 4, 13:01 16
- Top 3 from each League, Last 3 on Points? Records? -- nm - budice Dec 4, 13:45
- Separate annual Champions FFL League ala European Football. Top 4 from each. Or top-3 then Wild-Cards. -- nm - budice Dec 4, 13:29 1
  - that is already being voted on :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 13:30
- Or: End keepers. -- nm - nubby Dec 4, 13:03 11
  - Then retire the title "Blood Feud". - Spawn Dec 4, 13:05 6
    - Have we ever thought about making it a dynasty league? -- nm - nubby Dec 4, 13:18 5
      - It sort of is. You mean expanding? -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:21 2
        
        I mean dynasty league in the sense that you keep your entire roster. -- nm - nubby Dec 4, 13:24 1
        
        That seems rather boring. We already get to keep any* players we want with no draft pick implications. - Spawn Dec 4, 13:28
      - [deleted] 1
        
        that sounds fun -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 13:23
  - [deleted] 2
    - Absolutely yes. -- nm - David Dec 4, 13:08 1
      - As I said above, if we lose keepers or we lose the slow draft, we lose Blood Feud. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:12
  - then it isn't \Blood Feud -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 13:04
- and not in fucking regular season. playoff winner and runnerup -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 13:02
i just got off the phone with a woman named, i thought, Tonya. Then i got email, it's Tonjua. - Andie Dec 4, 13:01 2
- "Ton-waaaah" -- nm - nubby Dec 4, 13:03 1
  - "Ton-WHO-ah!" -- nm - Al Pacino si Dec 4, 13:08
Zeit: We have the dog at the University of Illinois veterinary school. The issue isn't with them running up the bill, but that these tests aren't - TWuG Dec 4, 13:01 2
- Had missed it on B2. Major props for sticking with it. You are helping me feel better about humaity, which is needed this week. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:14 1
  - Thanks. Meeka hit the damn lottery when she caught my wife's heart. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 13:16
Watching for the run on kickers in a 36 team draft would be rather fun. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:00
if you thinking about doing Loot Crate at all..this would be a good month. Exclusive Pop figures.... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 4, 12:59 6
- The Groot one from August sells for about $40 on eBay. -- nm - David Dec 4, 13:02 3
  - is there a BOP code for joining so you get credit? - Remlik Dec 4, 13:29 2
    - There's not a BOP code, but I can give you my individual one. -- (link) - David Dec 4, 13:35 1
      - I just signed up two accounts -- nm - Remlik Dec 4, 13:42
- ::clicks... looks at Batman... looks at shelf right above monitor and there is the same Batman:: - Spawn Dec 4, 13:01 1
  - that's not a photo of the exclusive. that's an example -- nm - Remlik Dec 4, 13:28
TWuG, it's a matter of personal preference, means, and as I added on B2, sometimes age of building. -- nm - ty97 Dec 4, 12:57 7
- [deleted] 2
  - you have a Doorman with benefits ? -- nm - decline Dec 4, 13:15 1
    - See the First. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 13:16
- Thanks. In a city like Columbus, if there was a doorman it was a status thing and never a necessity. -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 13:02 3
  - we only have one doorman building in town. a one bedroom there rents for 2.7x as much as I pay for two bedrooms. - sheriff peggy ann Dec 4, 13:10
  - The reality is they can be quite helpful (more than you would think), but especially for older people. A doorman is crucial for my parents. - pmb Dec 4, 13:04 1
    - So sort of a time-share butler? :-) -- nm - TWuG Dec 4, 13:05
That's amazing about the Chinese economy. - Loyola Dec 4, 12:56 1

    - Degree of Dishoner -- nm - Max Dec 4, 13:06 2
      - (and also possible Freudian slip) -- nm - Max Dec 4, 13:07
      - that would be a dishonorable way of spelling Dishonor -- nm - Max Dec 4, 13:06
the kids are getting to meet Santa tonight at the club house for milk and cookies. -- nm - CQ Dec 4, 12:54 2
- Those sound like a good idea until the guy pulls down the fake beard to eat and drink. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:56
- Will any of my kids actually sit on Santa's lap? I say no effin way -- nm - CQ Dec 4, 12:54
Sexual favors. -- nm - Spawn Dec 4, 12:52 3
- ~And when I get that feeling~ -- nm - Loyola Dec 4, 12:55
- Sexual chocolate -- nm - oblique Dec 4, 12:53
- That'll fill up a board in a hurry. -- nm - budice Dec 4, 12:53
