  - glad I didn't take him. was considering it, not strongly but still -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 11:48 3
    - I really considered him, which would have been par for the course for my 1sts. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 11:49 2
      - Yup. He'd have thrown me in bye week jail already though, so I passed on him. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 11:57 1
        
        There's no such thing as Bye Week Jail in Blood Feud. - Strongbad Aug 27, 12:00

Faster! FASTER!!! -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 11:38 6
- Do you have a draft card for Shay? - Krusty Aug 27, 11:40 5
  - Kind of. I have one, but it would require her to draft WRs in the 1st and 2nd round. - Imperator Aug 27, 11:41 4
    - Cool, thanks. - Krusty Aug 27, 11:42 3
      - Also, I really hope she doesn't steal my next pick. ;-) - Krusty Aug 27, 11:44 2
        
        Update: she doesn't want what's on her card and is on a conference call. So, we're in a 30 minute holding pattern. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 11:49 1
        
        Crap! I was hoping to be able to draft myself. Oh well, no biggie. I'll try and put together a card for my next pick. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:50

O, Chon, Ben -- nm - Pippy Aug 27, 11:35
LIR - books for $ 2 - Ready Player One is pretty dang good so far -- nm - Pippy Aug 27, 11:33 5

[deleted] 13
- I have left it before and the whole time I was was aware that I could not drive home if I had to. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:35 7
  - I don't have that strong of an attachment to home. "OK, kids, we can't get home so we're just buying a new place." - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:42 4
    - One word explains that. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:54 3
      - Counterpoint - Roger More Aug 27, 11:55 2
        
        Exactly. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:58 1
        
        No, we've just outgrown our place. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:59
  - That thought never crossed my mind when I was in Ireland. In fact, I loved being out of touch with everything and nearly everyone. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:41 1
    - [deleted]
- he's afraid of falling off the edge -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:34
- He'd starve - Pippy Aug 27, 11:34 3
  - I didn't used to like calamari. But now I love it. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:40 2
    - I've only had one I liked - New York Cheesecake Factory - Pippy Aug 27, 11:41 1
      - Theirs is pretty good. If you have a Cowfish near you, their calamari is good also. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:44
Dude just wanted some peace and quiet to sunbath. Stupid drone interrupts his solitude. -- (link) - TWuG Aug 27, 11:30 3
- the answer is blowing in the wind -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 27, 11:41
- 1) drones are nosy. 2) that dude is insane. -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:33
- that is pretty incredible -- nm - Pippy Aug 27, 11:33
Raygun and then back to me for 2. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 11:29
I need something from Ikea. I really wish there was an Ikea closer. 2.5-3 hrs is a long drive just for Ikea. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:26 10
- Delivery. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:26 9
  - Delivery for my items due to size and weight would be about $200. And the items cost $70 each. So, delivery is not an option. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 11:33 4
    - Get a quote from a freight shipping company? They should beat that by 100. -- nm - Loyola Aug 27, 11:37 2
      - There is actually a "company" here whose sole business is to make Ikea runs for people. - sycor Aug 27, 11:43 1
        
        That's a good idea for a business. - Loyola Aug 27, 11:47
    - Jeebus. Yeah, that is exactly why we had to drive there a couple years ago. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:34
  - their delivery ain't cheap -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:28 3
    - vs 3 hour drive? -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:29 2
      - delivery could easily be a couple hundred bucks for that distance -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:31 1
        
        Did not realize they sold houses! -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:32
budice, please delete your post in the Cavemen thread--thank you -- nm - ML Aug 27, 11:24 6
- Is there a time limit this year for the Imperator to pick for someone? Or do we wait indefinitely? -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 11:38 2
  - We always wait on the first round pick. -- nm - Imperator Aug 27, 11:40 1
    - Thanks. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 11:43
- he's so high on stewart that he wanted him in both leagues...maybe he can land him in astronauts, too? -- nm - samara Aug 27, 11:29
- David and nubbah, please pick up your recently-drafted players -- nm - ML Aug 27, 11:25 1
  - So many new titles to bestow! -- nm - CNS Aug 27, 11:26
Vamps: shay, NWBR, Krusty -- nm - JD Aug 27, 11:23 2
- I think Shay sent in a draft card. I'm here for about an hour and then I gotta go back to work. Let's do this! -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 11:38 1
  - I'm ready to go as soon as her pick is in. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 12:02
This isn't the least bit depressing... - TWuG Aug 27, 11:21 4
- Uh oh, there goes my "cars are weapons, too" arguement. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:22 1
  - weapons are cars, too -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:23
- easy solution: Make cars less safe. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 11:21 1
  - lowering the legal drinking age ... would probably have the same effect on both stats so forget I suggested it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:22
Caveman Round 1 has officially been ruined!! - Shaun Aug 27, 11:20
Greg, Marsha, Jan, Peter, bobby, Cindy -- nm - decline Aug 27, 11:19
Astros: ML, spam, Reagen, spam, spam, crash, and spam - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Ruiner) Aug 27, 11:17 2
- But I don't like spam! -- nm - Graham Chapman in drag Aug 27, 11:22 1
  - I'm not a huge fan of you either! - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 11:39
Okay, hypothetically, what if your plane to Athens could only fly as far as, say, Syracuse - SkyGreece Aug 27, 11:13
LIR: I guess there's also a big difference between 1 person plunking down $1k to get home vs. hotels/airport sleeping - oblique Aug 27, 11:13 3
- even the cheapo airlines appear to be sold out/crazy expensive for one ways out of Athens. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 11:21
- Abandon your family. - Spawn Aug 27, 11:18 1
  - It's the only honorable thing to do -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 11:19
Some new Star Wars footage -- (link) - TWuG Aug 27, 11:08 2
- I think that's the first shot of Finn (spoiler spoiler spoiler). - Mop Aug 27, 11:10 1
  - FIN SHOT FIRST! -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 11:12
Or maybe a boat to Constantinople ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:07 26
- Yeah, well, I'll catch the first junk to Soho. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 11:27
- That's a long way, and I don't think there are regular ferries the way there are to Greek islands - Roger More Aug 27, 11:14 24
  - Right. I would try to make it to Frankfurt first of all. -- nm - Loyola Aug 27, 11:23 13
    - yeah, i think people are trying these things. Last minute flights just cost money. In Europe. In high season. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 11:24 7
      - Sometimes in these situations, competing airlines offer discounted fares to stranded passengers on their empty seats. - Roger More Aug 27, 11:29 4
        
        it might be the latter. it would be good PR if they did. - Andie Aug 27, 11:31 3
        
        Air Canada has partner airlines as well, like Lufthansa, who would be able to help transport passengers to other airports that Air Canada operates to, - Roger More Aug 27, 11:43 2
        
        yeah, the owners have basically gone MIA. it's brutal. - Andie Aug 27, 11:46 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Yeah, it's the suck. I'd probably bus it just not to pay over the odds. -- nm - Loyola Aug 27, 11:29
      - Yep. I would imagine it's like when there's a traffic jam and the side streets and shortcuts all fill up too -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:25
    - anywhere that hooks into a strong train system -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:23 4
      - Or go to your embassy if you have absolutely no way of getting money. -- nm - Loyola Aug 27, 11:25 3
        
        and then take a train to spain and buy a village -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:26 2
        
        Too bad my wife quashed this idea already. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 27, 11:50
        
        Heh. There must be some online hippy community that would be interested in that :) -- nm - Loyola Aug 27, 11:31
  - According to this there are a number of posibilities - oblique Aug 27, 11:19 4
    - The boat part of that journey is a 10 minute ride across the Bosphorus :) - Roger More Aug 27, 11:24
    - and, flights from Istanbul to Toronto this weekend cost .... $1100. With two stops. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 11:23 2
      - This sounds like a really painful object lesson in choosing airlines wisely. - TWuG Aug 27, 11:27 1
        
        they only had a couple routes., it actually could have been okay if they'd had access to a back up plane. They did not. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 11:29
  - kayak to Dubrovnik -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 11:15
  - Maybe a one-way bareboat charter would be possible. Athens to Portugal. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:15 3
    - there are certainly a lot of one way boats from mideast to Greece, so maybe drop off, pick up and keep going -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 27, 11:45
    - just anecdotal - one guy was supposed to start college, today. he is still in croatia where he went for a wedding. - Andie Aug 27, 11:17 1
      - Yeah, that sounds pretty sad :( -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 11:18
spamlet, thanks for the link. I might use this opportunity to pad my library. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 11:07
David, RC, moi -- nm - ML Aug 27, 11:07
Butch, Sundance & Etta -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 11:06
