Another WC game with bad officiating. Another hand ball that wasn't called and it was right in the middle of the box. Yesterday there were two that - Krusty Jun 13, 11:26 3
- Why only have three refs? Why not many more like one on the field, one in each corner and one behind each goal? - Krusty Jun 13, 11:29 2
  - Because they're women, Krusty. They're lucky FIFA let's them play at all. -- nm - spamlet Jun 13, 11:42 1
    - Good point. At least they let them play in normal length shorts. - Krusty Jun 13, 11:47
I just saw a driver change at LeMans. Man, that could be handle more efficiently, I think. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 10:54 2

  - I embrace my nerdliness. -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 13, 10:52
No googling. You have most likely seen a character named Nathaniel Burke on TV several times. Do you know who plays him? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 13, 10:11 8
- I had no idea. Even when I Googled I didn't believe that was the character's name. - jaxSean Jun 13, 10:52
- Not ringing a bell. What show? -- nm - GregW Jun 13, 10:49
- Yup -- nm - IrishStephen Jun 13, 10:49
- Nope. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 10:45

- Holy crow, it's over 210 estimated now?! -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 10:08
- It's going to be really close. If it has The Avengers' multiplier, it's basically tied. -- nm - Tim Jun 13, 10:06 1
  - I hope it does because it was completely unexpected. I mean two days ago iirc it was trading sub-300 over there. -- nm - Shaun Jun 13, 10:08
22 years ago today: 3OT Suns-Bulls where Kevin Johnson scored 62 and Jordan had 44. My favorite NBA Finals game ever. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:01 1

My brother! -- (link) - ML Jun 13, 09:59

Street Fighter's Ryu is apparently coming to Super Smash Bros. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 09:45 1
- *deleted* -- nm* - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:06
Don't worry, her next 3 relaunches will be even better. -- nm - ML Jun 13, 09:39 16
- She's announced why not just lay low like she's been doing? - iSpam Jun 13, 10:15 13
  - NY Times, on Sanders momentum, explains why Hillary has to get out more. -- (link) - Mop Jun 13, 10:30 9
    - The media is treating him as a serious candidate because they need something to write about. He's not. - iSpam Jun 13, 10:31 7
      - He's taking his run seriously and he's gaining support every day. I hope he pushes her and forces her to start discussing things like income - Krusty Jun 13, 10:48 5
        
        He's the Ron Paul of the left. The media will write a lot about him but he'll never really have a chance. -- nm - iSpam Jun 13, 10:56 3
        
        Except people like what he's saying once they listen to him. Ron Paul was nuts. Bernie just looks crazy. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 11:18 2
        
        I bet Sanders throws under what Paul did in 2008. -- nm - spamlet Jun 13, 11:45 1
        
        I'll disagree, only because Paul had a lot more competition. - ML Jun 13, 12:17
        
        But he is getting crushed by her right now and unless that drastically changes he's not a serious challenge to her. -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 10:49
      - I'll accept that his challenge probably isn't viable. But the media has come to WRITE the story rather than REPORT it. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 10:32
    - WaPo says the same thing. -- (link) - Mop Jun 13, 10:31
  - We don't live in that world any longer. What she's doing is right. -- nm - David Jun 13, 10:17 2
    - Constantly relaunching? - iSpam Jun 13, 10:28 1
      - Virtually no one is paying attention to the rationale. It's all building the brand. - David Jun 13, 12:12
- Selfies from every Moe's on her way to Iowa? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 10:13
- "Everything Bernie Sanders promises you, yeah... I'll do that." -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 09:39

Getting onto campus this morning, I flashed my "All Access" pass to the state trooper and he waved me right through. - Mop Jun 13, 08:51 2
- I'm surprised your head fit through the gate. :P -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 13, 08:55 1
  - Comically, apparently 99 Luftballons (in the original German) seems to be the karaoke song of choice for my group of friends. - Mop Jun 13, 09:41
I tried to get a trailer hitch installed this morning. Scheduled it with UHaul last week. - Beryllium Jun 13, 08:50 4
- Getting anything accomplished at my local UHaul is always a chore. - Mop Jun 13, 09:02 1
