  - Those beards are the mullets of this decade. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:20
  - now hold on a minute, I enjoy a good wine now and then. I agree with you on the whiskey though. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 12:19 4
    - aren't you in your 20s? -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:20 3
      - I wish - znufrii Jan 21, 12:21 1

      - or female? -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:21
  - Oh good - I'm safe ;) -- nm - Meg Jan 21, 12:17
  - I'll give the 21-37 yos vodka to make their girlie drinks and tequila to make them feel manly, otherwise I'll get on board with you - crash davis Jan 21, 12:16
- i live in LA so . . . - slipping jimmy Jan 21, 12:11 3
  - *pedals old timey bicycle down the 405* -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:13 2

So wait, now Arrow is ripping off (spoiler) from Batman!?! - Spawn Jan 21, 12:02 15
- take it up with DC comics. - groiny Jan 21, 12:13 2
  - he was, ever since the 1940s....the reason Arrow is on TV is that WB feels The Bat should be saved for movies -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:14 1
    - I mean, the whole character is the same. - groiny Jan 21, 12:16
- apparently so -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:10
- Having not watched the show this year... - David Jan 21, 12:04 10
  - to a larger point best superhero show on TV, would be second but Gotham really doesn't have a superhero -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:12 4
    - The Flash? -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:16 3
      - Arrow is steak, Flash is mac n cheese. I don't have anything against either one, but one is obviously comfort food -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 12:17 2
        
        I like both shows about equally, but for different reasons. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 12:21
        
        Arrow is stake, you mean. - Spawn Jan 21, 12:18
  - I do not watch it but apparently last episode spoil. - Spawn Jan 21, 12:07 4
    - I fail to register surprise at this. - David Jan 21, 12:13 3
      - Flash leans into the ridiculousness, and it's the only reason it works. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 12:18 1
        
        Legends will be a test. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:27
      - Yeah, but it clears *any* doobt that the writers can not come up with an original idea. - Spawn Jan 21, 12:15
Jesus f*cking christ, people, I go away for an hour and a half and all the sudden... -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 21, 12:00 8
- [deleted] 3
  - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 12:16 2
    - You gonna get sued. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:18 1
      - par for the course. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 12:21
- These are the consequences of solving Hollywood's race problem. You're welcome. -- nm - TWuG Jan 21, 12:01
- and buying tickets for 'Cats'. - Diva Jan 21, 12:01 1
  - My dream evening: Cats at the Muny followed up by Book of Shadows on Blu-Ray! -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 12:02
- Yeah, that has znu written all over it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:01
A discussion on B2 about Oxford collars where no one could even muster the words "Oxford collars". You're all cave men. - Mop Jan 21, 11:57 1
- Oxford Scholar -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 11:59
What was your favorite pitchers-hitting moment, National League fans? -- (link) - ML Jan 21, 11:54 27
- LOL -- (link) - ML Jan 21, 12:10 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:22
- I hate the DH, but I love having Schwarber if that comes to pass. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 12:02
- I would prefer it went the other way but the DH means another job and the union loves it. Also, aging power hitters get to stay in the game. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 11:58
- About time. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 11:57
- Weird. I always thought it would go the other way and the DH rule would be dropped. -- nm - TWuG Jan 21, 11:57
- wow -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 11:57
- bah. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 11:56
- I just want to say Edgar for Cooperstown -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 11:56 1
  - Duh. -- nm - David Jan 21, 12:05
- The rule should be delayed until Bartolo Colon retires. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 11:56
- Union would be on board becuase it'll increase # of jobs. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 11:55 15
  - Why? A pitcher or bench guy loses his job. Rosters stay at 25. -- nm - iSpam Jan 21, 12:04 2
    - It's commonly assumed that they'll increase the rosters by at least 1 spot in the next CBA - Will Hunting Jan 21, 12:18
    - Yeah, but it's a higher paying position. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 12:10
  - I didn't see your post, obviously I agree. Personally, I don't care for the DH. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 11:59 11
    - Anything that lets 9 hitters hit instead of 8 hitters hit and 1 pitcher flail...i"m all for. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 12:00 10
      - I just think it takes a lot of the strategy out of the game. -- nm - pmb Jan 21, 12:04 7
        
        it really doesn't though..... - groiny Jan 21, 12:15 4
        
        It takes out the hard choice of pinch-hitting for a pitcher who is pitching well in a tight game. It changes hitting and base-stealling decisions. - pmb Jan 21, 12:18 3
        
        I disagree. - groiny Jan 21, 12:20 2
        
        here's a thought, why not train pitchers to be better hitters? -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 12:24 1
        
        Too late. -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 12:26
        
        It does but the instant Rufus blew out his achilles running to first, I figured this was inevitable. -- nm - David Jan 21, 12:05 1
        
        Yup. That was the nail in the coffin. -- nm - spamlet Jan 21, 12:08
      - Nine men take the field and those nine men get to hit. If you don't pick up a glove you shouldn't get to pick up a bat. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 12:03 1
        
        can't we just let the white people bat? -- nm - groiny Jan 21, 12:17
WW I German sub found off the coast of England -- (link) - Peglegpete Jan 21, 11:53 1

PBR makes me think of bull riding -- nm - oblique Jan 21, 11:52 1

PBR? Well -- nm - Spawn Jan 21, 11:49
PBR? Well looky at all the douche faced hipsters we have on ST. -- nm - CQ Jan 21, 11:49 9
- It was the crap beer people bought in high school because it was cheap and people just wanted alcohol. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 21, 11:51 6
  - It'll always be Blue Velvet Beer to me. -- nm - David Jan 21, 12:02 1
    - Right. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 12:03
  - We drank a lot of malt liquor. So many 40s of Crazy Horse and OE. -- nm - Krusty Jan 21, 12:01
  - word, some of us drank it because it was cheap a long time before hipsters ruined it -- nm - crash davis Jan 21, 11:52
  - precisely -- nm - ML Jan 21, 11:52 1

- i didn't see Cats till well after it's heyday. I just don't understand the love. At all. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 11:49 8
  - Talking cats, Andie. Talking and singing -- nm - decline Jan 21, 11:52 3
    - i just realized! "Cats" was just viral cat videos, before we had the internet. I get it now. - Andie Jan 21, 11:53 2
      - I would pay big money for them to write in Ninja Cat. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Jan 21, 11:57 1
        
        that would be fantastic. -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 12:00
  - It really is one of my favorite shows ever. Blows me away how many people hate it...and passionately so. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 11:49 3
    - I don't hate it. And one or two of the melodies are okay. I'm just not a fan. -- nm - Diva Jan 21, 11:56
    - i really don't hate it. it was just... boring. -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 11:51 1
      - (at least the production i saw) -- nm - Andie Jan 21, 11:51

There is no helping some of you. I'm out. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 21, 11:46 4
- Are we talking dress shirts (white, worn in a business setting) or all long sleeve shirts? - TWuG Jan 21, 11:51 3
  - If you wear a short sleeve dress shirt and tie...you'd better be an Extra on Mad Men. - Mel Profit Jan 21, 11:55 2
