- I saw their original farewell concert 32 years ago. It was actually simulcast live on TV and radio as it was the last stop of the tour. -- nm - zork May 13, 14:03 1
  - I remember that. I think I listened on the radio. -- nm - pmb May 13, 14:07
- nice! Pete and Eddie Vedder doing a House of Blues show tomorrow night in Chicago -- nm - Remlik May 13, 13:50 3
  - Ah, that's why Eddie did Take Me Out to the Ballgame at the Cubs game last night. -- nm - Tim May 13, 13:59
  - Actually it's at the Rosemont Theater and there are a pretty decent number of tickets still available. I'd love to go but I'm going out of town early - pmb May 13, 13:55 1
    - oh right on. I was tempted to drive up tomorrow and see the show w/my brother. We're going to the Who on Friday night -- nm - Remlik May 13, 14:05
- Who? -- nm - Korath May 13, 13:45 1

Bottom of the screen. In car footage of Castroneves flip. -- (link) - Spawn May 13, 13:18 3
- That's amazing....lucky he didn't go into the fencing but overall, that's about as good as it gets - Will Hunting May 13, 13:22 1
  - seriously. it's just incredible. (and, boy, do I wish regular cars somehow had that level of protection.) -- nm - b. May 13, 13:31
- imagine if that happened when were driving those cars. Well you'd be safe as you weren't going very fast -- nm - Remlik May 13, 13:20
Awesome story. -- (link) - Spawn May 13, 13:15 4
- aww, that made me well-up. v. good! -- nm - b. May 13, 13:19
- and also milldly creepy, if you ask me. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:19 2
  - Except for the time frame. It was not a quick thing. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:19 1
    - of course, she had to heal up first. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:20
What's important here is that the Patriots are unconscionable cheaters. -- nm - David May 13, 13:09 15
- doesn't your team pump in fake crowd noise? -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:13 13
  - Yes, so they are stupid cheaters. -- nm - David May 13, 13:22 11
    - how mnay draft picks did they lose for that? -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:23 10
      - Not as many as they should have. -- nm - David May 13, 14:07
      - deflating is worse than pumping -- nm - Max May 13, 13:29 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Did they go to and win a Super Bowl because of it? -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:29 6
        
        Seriously? You think that the inflation of the ball was the deciding factor in the Patriots winning the super bowl? - pmb May 13, 13:34 3
        
        don't do it. -- nm - Diva May 13, 13:37
        
        More like Seattle's bad play calling on the 1 yard line -- nm - eag May 13, 13:36
        
        heh, I have had to suppress multiple times since my post. -- nm - b. May 13, 13:35
        
        What Super Bowl did the Patriots win by this cheating? - Will Hunting May 13, 13:31
        
        oh, that matters now? - groiny May 13, 13:29
  - [deleted]
- again -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:10
so...who linked the amazon offering 'Pounded in the Butt By My Own Butt'? - Diva May 13, 13:05 9
- that and the other similar one have made me try to click to get rid of it multiple times*. (please, everyone, do that, if you haven't already.) -- nm - b. May 13, 13:09 4
  - Technically speaking, if the post is flagged as NSFW, the link should be kicked out of the running for ads - but it might be too old to flag -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 13:36
  - 'Conquered by Clippy'? -- nm - Diva May 13, 13:11 2
    - I click fast, but I think that's it. it's the one with the scantily clad woman on its cover. -- nm - b. May 13, 13:13
    - [deleted]
- Take one guess. -- nm - spamlet May 13, 13:06 3
  - ML? RC? (oh wait, that's 2...) -- nm - Diva May 13, 13:07 2

"Glen Close zombie thriller." - Spawn May 13, 13:05
note to self: work to suppress any further urges to post about brady/patriots/balls of the deflated kind. -- nm - b. May 13, 12:59 28
- I think I'm in the same place as you. Everyone's minds are made up (including my own) and nobody is changing so there's little point. -- nm - pmb May 13, 13:05 12
  - yonh. Let's talk about fun things to do in Chicago (eat). -- nm - Diva May 13, 13:07 11
    - That weekend is the Chicago Hot Dog festival. That could be fun. Also, there's a big neighborhood festival in my neighborhood that weekend. - pmb May 13, 13:42 2
      - I hope it's not being held in a hallway. -- nm - zork May 13, 14:01
      - Ask nicely, Groiny will show you his hot dog trick. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 13:47
    - and the shitty Cubs and Bears teams. we can all agree on that -- nm - Remlik May 13, 13:09 6
      - The cubs at least, are no longer shitty. And really fun to watch. -- nm - pmb May 13, 13:12 1
        
        *mimes your every move* -- nm - Starlin Castro si May 13, 13:17
      - I like the Cubs. I always like the Cubs. Even when they suck. -- nm - Diva May 13, 13:11 1
        
        Well, that's becuase you're an opposing team usually. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 13:41
      - um..... -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:10 1
        
        I'm just kidding you. -- nm - Remlik May 13, 13:40
    - yes, REAL PIZZA!!!!! -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:09
- I think my issue is less about the offense itself, and more about the handling of it - groiny May 13, 13:01 14
  - See, I disagree with you IM. - Spawn May 13, 13:09 9
    - a player intentionally stomping on another player with intent to injure is not tampering with the game? - groiny May 13, 13:10 8
      - Heat of the moment vs ongoing premeditation. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:16 1
        
        lol, homer. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:17
      - I think the bigger issue is that those penalties are too light. - the wrong element, bad guy May 13, 13:14 5
        
        Total dartboard on discipline. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 13:19
        
        The last of your IM reads well for deflategate, too. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:16 3
        
        I guess if you can't win vs Brady, you might as well hope he gets suspended. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:18 2
        
        I guess if you can't win vs a cheater, you might as well hope he gets suspended. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:19 1
        
        soon, you will have no one to play then. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:20
  - nuh-uh, not gonna drag me back in! (not this soon, anyway.) -- nm - b. May 13, 13:07 1
    - BOO! -- nm - groiny May 13, 13:08
  - throws open the doors of the conference room and yells...YOU HAVE MESSED WITH THE FORCES IF THE UNIVERSE or whatever McGill quoted from network -- nm - z on the go May 13, 13:06 1
    - the thing is, football us deeply into the national psyche, a near religious experience - z on the go May 13, 13:12
Ah, the speed control system in use along the rest of the NE Corridor is scheduled to be installed in the Philly area later this year. - znufrii May 13, 12:58
Ugh. Time Warner. - sycor May 13, 12:56

Speaking of cute AT&T girl... -- (link) - Spawn May 13, 12:44 [youtube] 6
- Milana Vayntrub - she's also great in the Yahoo series Other Space -- nm - decline May 13, 12:53 5
  - i was already a fan from the AT&T commercials. All of the other stuff that I'm seeing of her makes me that much more of a fan. - call me Ishmael May 13, 13:21 1
    - make sure you check out on youtube "matt damon lets talk about something more interesting" - groiny May 13, 13:25
  - She was also Ultimate Warrior in that Wrestling Isn't Wrestling video. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 13, 13:10
  - Yeah, was not sure many of ST would recognize. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:59
  - *swoon* -- nm - groiny May 13, 12:54
A sloppy investigation does not change the crime. - Spawn May 13, 12:42 13
- It doesn't change events, it changes the outcome. Most of the time to the 'guilty' walking becuase reasonable doubt is introduced or misconduct in - Will Hunting May 13, 12:46 11
  - See, your IM only sets up them bringing the hammer down when it continued. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:51 10
    - No, my IM tells me that the NFL had very little reason to care about this crime and the punishment isn't consistent for all. - Will Hunting May 13, 12:53 8
      - Then they would not have sent a warning message out. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:58 5
        
        It's been known for years you can't manipulate the balls; these teams did anyhow. No punishment. - Will Hunting May 13, 13:02 4
        
        You can't go from a memo to an historic punishment and call it reasonable. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:03 3
        
        ... I call that perfectly reasonable. Now, if there had been no warning and then they did, I would agree. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:04 2
        
        There was warning...the first 2 teams got nothing....the next team got hammered with a monster penalty. - Will Hunting May 13, 13:05 1
        
        No, first guy gets a warning and that news is spread. Next violation gets the hammer. That is how it works. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 13:10
      - this is a professional sports league, that is run like a kids T-Ball league. - groiny May 13, 12:56 1
        
        And it'll all be excused by saying they made billions. So does Apple under Tim Cook; it doesn't make him a better CEO than Steve Jobs was. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 12:57
    - it was such a monumental cheat, that when they noticed at halftime, they let him finish out the game. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 12:52
- Actually that's pretty much exactly opposite in a criminal setting. The sloppy investigation may result in dismissal of the case or at least certain - pmb May 13, 12:45
That Lily cam is grrrreat -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 12:42 9
- It will be a great step forward in home sextape making. -- nm - Max May 13, 13:32

    - I would love to have had that when we were hiking to machu picchu. -- nm - pmb May 13, 12:51 3
      - Until the 21st minute. Then you are just carrying extra weight! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 12:52 2
        
        There is that. Might have been worth it though. -- nm - pmb May 13, 12:55 1
        
        For sure. But it would suck, trying to be careful with your 20 minutes over that span. - Spawn May 13, 12:59

  - Since roughly 2005 -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 12:55
- Ive ridden it enough to see a benefit to it. -- nm - budice May 13, 12:47 2
