- Can tats be far behind? -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 12:08
- the fact that this was even brought up in goverment is ridiculous. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 12:06 1
  - well, if it were actually dangerous, I could see it. but they seem to be overreacting. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 12:09
- I have a better idea...when someone sues because they got an infection... - Jim Mar 19, 12:05 2

- Foxy Lady? That is a lame name. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 12:07 2
  - There's one around here, might be a national chain -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 12:11
  - It's just the Foxy in practice. -- nm - TFox Mar 19, 12:08
- ohhhh yeeeaaah. -- nm - Mo Vaughn Mar 19, 12:05
- Hey look, it's my favorite strip club! -- nm - TFox Mar 19, 12:02 5
  - I wonder if they can apply for federal stimulous package -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 12:03
  - you should stand outside the club and tell the applicants you'er a pre-screener. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 12:02 3
    - One of the best parts of that club: if you take a cab and therefore don't drink and drive, no cover. - TFox Mar 19, 12:04
    - Officer thinking, right there. -- nm - TaurusII Mar 19, 12:03 1

  - Exhibit A -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 19, 11:58 [youtube] 2
    - OK, but that is an obvious BS flop, and they have them in the NBA too. - TFox Mar 19, 11:59 1
      - (or, not you. damnit. what are we even discussing!?) -- nm - TFox Mar 19, 11:59

    - They arguably should. Taking a charge is one of the only real weapons a defender has. - TFox Mar 19, 12:01 3
      - bah. a guy in college can be in the air going to the hoop and a defender can slide under him and fall. Charge! -- nm - CQ Mar 19, 12:02 2
        
        I'm not going to defend the flops, but I think the NBA calls a block over a charge way too much too. - TFox Mar 19, 12:05 1
        
        I agree, especially since they removed hand checking -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 12:08

    - heh. I was thinking about putting him in a new pair of non-footy pajamas, but then he would refuse to accept them later as pjs. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 11:59
  - I bet he shit his pants at this news -- nm - CQ Mar 19, 11:52

      - Sure. It's survivor league. Take the surest thing. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 11:50 2
