    - His arbitrary punishments finally come back to bite him! -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 09:59

  - Pepper is so cuuuuuute! -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 10:05 1
    - I agree, she is. Poor Blue is having a surgery tomorrow to remove a big lipoma on his side. -- nm - zork Aug 27, 10:15
Heh. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, Trump leads both the "would vote for" and "would not vote for" categories - Reagen Aug 27, 09:42 11
- Q16 in that poll is devastating -- nm* - ML Aug 27, 09:43 10
  - The 6 who answered "sec-of-state" were just cheating. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 09:49
  - I'm surprised how little cursing was in Trump's version. Not even 5 "fuckwad"s? -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 09:47
  - 18 is hilarious. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 09:47 7
    - "BUSH!" No, wait... do I get a do-over? -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 10:04

Twug, thought it was the active board when I responded to your post on b3 a while ago, but I'm really curious why you say this latest shooting had - IrishStephen Aug 27, 09:40 3
- The coworker/romance part of it seems to be the actual motivation. - TWuG Aug 27, 09:53 2

  - simple, succinct and correct. -- nm - mud Aug 27, 09:54

    - Never mind. I wasn't thinking thoroughly. Gimme a few minutes here. -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:41 3
      - BF makes fools of us all -- nm - ML Aug 27, 09:41 2
        
        Let me make my next pick, then I'll offer another deal that will actually make sense. -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:56 1
        
        Super idea. -- nm - ML Aug 27, 10:01
David, yes or no? -- nm - ML Aug 27, 09:30 7
- No, Adams was my primary target. Thanks anyway. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 09:33
- Reminder: pick up your players at Yahoo after you've selected them everybody! -- nm - ML Aug 27, 09:31 5

    - Done. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 09:44
    - Let me finish lunch and we'll get it. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 09:43 1
      - Thanks to you and Strongbad! -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:50
  - Yup. Otherwise I will be ruining, even more. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:32
Astros: ML, spamlet, Reagen, then back to me. -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:28
My day is a perfect storm of tech f-ups - Max Aug 27, 09:27 7
- did you jiggle the cable? -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 09:47 2
  - Heh, lost my broadband connection yesterday - jiggled the modem cables...yup :) -- nm - Meg Aug 27, 09:55
  - I bet they didn't turn it off and on. -- (link) - Andie Aug 27, 09:51
- You should call back Verizon and tell them the lasted tech guy dropped your phone in a bucket of water and maybe get new one out of it! -- nm - decline Aug 27, 09:38
- Hi max, what can I do to help? -- nm - Sycophantic New Guy Aug 27, 09:35
- You should call and order a pizza. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:29 1

Curley, Larry, Mo -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 09:25
This "free in-app purchases" with Amazon Underground is going to get abused. I know it is, because I'm abusing it. - Mop Aug 27, 09:22 5
- why? -- nm - decline Aug 27, 09:24 4
  - I'm just not using it as intended. It's an easy way to pad my wealth in the iOS app through the Amazon version of the same app. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 09:33 2
    - why delete the app off your phone? and why waste all that time installing, taking stuff, uninstalling just for silly phone games? -- nm - decline Aug 27, 09:34 1
      - I think maybe you don't have a grasp of mobile gaming if you call them "silly phone games". - Mop Aug 27, 09:50
  - Greed. Is. Good. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:28
So this is how the draft is going to go this year, huh? - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:21 9
- Well, the top 10 picks are all going to look similar for most of us. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:21 8
  - I know, but ... - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:25 7
    - Apparently you guys have more faith in his health than many others. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:32 3
      - He's already practicing. He should be the #1 pick in any keeper league. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 10:05
      - it's a great keeper/dynasty pick, but his value for this year could be very limited - ML Aug 27, 09:41
      - It's not an insurmountable injury (McGahee came back in 9 months), Welker in 8...but there's other value - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:33
    - Then you should have traded up for him. Proactive, not reactive! -- nm - ML Aug 27, 09:27 2
      - I TRIED! MANY TIMES I TRIED! -- nm - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 09:29 1
        
        *notices no trade offers* -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:29

US economy grew 3.7% in Q2 -- nm - jangles Aug 27, 09:09 9
- OBAMA! -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 09:11 5
  - But the stock market is crashing -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 09:13 4
    - It... is? -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 09:16 1
      - *shrug* I don't know. I was just hoping someone would reply with "TRUMP" or "OBAMA" and then segue into the yogurt gag. My job here is done. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 09:33
    - TRUMP! -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 09:14 1
      - But it comes with a free frogurt! -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 09:15
- That about what they expected? Seems like a good number on the first pass. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:10 2
  - This is an upwards revision of last month's 2Q estimate of 2.3% -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 27, 09:14
  - it feels about twice the recent averages -- nm - jangles Aug 27, 09:13
Yakko, Wakko, Dot -- nm - decline Aug 27, 09:09
RC, ML, Spamlet. - Imperator Aug 27, 09:07 7
- running to Chipotle as is customary. should be back by my pick -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 09:20
- Good pick....I couldn't pull the trigger on him at #2. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:13
- ML and Spammy, let me know what you'd want to move up from 19 to 9/10. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 09:10 4
  - I'd offer 1.09 and 7.04 for your 2.07 and 3.06 -- nm - ML Aug 27, 09:14 3
    - That's probably too rich for me, but we'll see how the next two picks go. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 09:18 2
      - I was waiting on Adams so I'm willing to discuss. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 09:30 1
        
        Sounds like everybody was locking in on the same guy. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 09:38
Bolt's lucky he landed on that guy's leg, I think. I've been knocked over by a toboggan in a similar way - it's not pleasant. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:05
Just got back from the dentist (love that place) clean bill. Nothing wrong. Who wants ice cream?! -- nm - CQ Aug 27, 09:04
RM, which would bake in the anticipation if it's viewed as a quasi-sequel. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 09:00 3
- It's for an older audience, which doesn't really come out mid-week. (Though DL said it tested best with older women and younger males) -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 09:02 2
  - That's not my typical read of midweek behaviour. -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 27, 09:04 1
    - I think it depends on the reason to go mid-week and the audience. - Roger More Aug 27, 09:23
Budice, Strongbad, and Samara are up -- nm - jack foley Aug 27, 09:00
OK, truck is dropped off to get hitch receiver installed. Exciting times! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 08:58 4
- I thought you already got hitched -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 08:58 3
  - He did. They do things... differently in Canada? -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:08 2
    - Well, my wife can't tow a boat, so ... -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:10 [Image] 1
      - I am sure you and she will be very happy with him. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:18
... working... -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:56 1
- Done. Apologies, again. Nubby, David, RC, ML -- nm* - Spawn Aug 27, 09:00

- I had this happen in a hotel in the Bahamas, with a camera and walkman closed in a suitcase. we'd not even unpacked. - i.b! Aug 27, 09:00 2
  - *thump thump thump!* -- nm - barnaby bear in a suitcase in the Bahamas Aug 27, 09:07 1
    - that was before you were born, dear. -- nm - i.b! Aug 27, 09:36
- I can see how someone from the housekeeping staff might find it and not immediately make the smartest decision as to how to proceed. - Mop Aug 27, 08:59
- Bullshit -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 08:57
- Depends on where they found it...like, was it the floor of his room? Or the hallway? - Jim Aug 27, 08:55
- maybe floor in the hall? maybe? -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 08:54 1
  - [deleted]
- who leaves their passport lying around (even in a drawer)? -- nm - decline Aug 27, 08:54 9

    - I work in the hospitality field - please believe me - stuff comes up missing ALL THE TIME. use your room safe - Pippy Aug 27, 09:37
    - Suitcase if not on you. Always. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:20 2

        Inner pocket of the closed up case is not exactly lying around. Lying around to me is somewhere they might come across it. - Spawn Aug 27, 09:30
    - On my flight to Spain, I moved my wallet from my back pocket to my jacket. On landing I didn't feel it against my butt and freaked out - decline Aug 27, 09:01 1
      - [deleted]
  - Yep. That's why they have safes in the room. -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 08:56
- I dunno if I'd say shady as much as stupid. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:53 1
  - Why even put it in a drawer? It's a hotel room. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:56
