$77 check from Ebates. I may have a problem. -- nm - Mop May 2, 10:59 1

Also this weekend, Dawson, Diva, Mel, and I discussed rats and how there seem to be less of them in NY nowadays. - ty97 May 2, 10:58 6
- I've been seeing more buildings using the bags with rodent protection. Hopefully they actually work. - Krusty May 2, 11:19

      - You've seen an Olive Garden menu before, right? -- nm - spamlet May 2, 11:13 1
        
        [deleted]
- You should take Krusty. Good stuff. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 11:04 15
  - that would be another good krusty food bet: how much $$ would it take for him to eat Olive Garden -- nm - dj fingerblazt May 2, 11:05 14
    - More than anyone is willing to pay. There's zero chance I'd eat there again. I was forced to once and I'll say the breadsticks were very good. -- (edited) - Krusty May 2, 11:14 4
      - I haven't been in years, but if I went, I'd probably do soup, salad, breadsticks. - ty97 May 2, 11:17 2
        
        It's basic, generic Italian. -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 11:19 1
        
        [deleted]
      - The salad is pretty good too. But that's about it. The rest is just meh. -- nm - JaxSean May 2, 11:17
    - Assuming there's anything he can eat there to begin with -- nm - Roger More May 2, 11:10 8
      - I ate their once and had a bowl of pasta. The breadsticks were the best part of the meal. - Krusty May 2, 11:16 4
        
        Oh, I'm confusing your lactose intolerance with Mel's gluten intolerance -- nm - Roger More May 2, 11:29 2
        
        I don't have that either. I have no allergies whatsoever. Perfectly healthy other than my teeth. -- nm - Krusty May 2, 11:33 1
        
        Truman is lactose intolerant. -- nm - Krusty May 2, 11:33
        
        The breadsticks are always the best part of the meal there. -- nm - spamlet May 2, 11:25
      - It is right up his alley. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 11:14
      - [deleted] 1

  - Sopranos got into that at the end, a crew was trying to strong arm a franchise store, guys I'm just a manager, break my legs, they'll hire someone els -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 12:05
The bad news about that new FCC spectrum auction is that people may lose PBS services because of it. -- (link) - spamlet May 2, 10:51

Ravens unwilling to give up a third-rounder to the Cowboys for the #4 pick -- (link) - dj fingerblazt May 2, 10:40 17
- You should know...In Ozzie, We Trust. - Will Hunting May 2, 10:44 16
  - What's interesting is that it reveals their grading. They were willing to trade up for less than a dollar but not more than a dollar. - David May 2, 10:49 4
    - I think there were about 5 guys most people saw on equal footing past the QB's - Will Hunting May 2, 10:51 3
      - I'm with Gruden in that I think most of the guys at the top of the board were overrated. A lot of the dudes from 10-30 got a bad rap. - David May 2, 10:53 2
        
        that doesn't necessarily make the later round players underrated - dj fingerblazt May 2, 11:12 1
        
        Virtually every research metric ever used proves otherwise. -- nm - David May 2, 11:26
  - given the absolute failure of their secondary the past several seasons, taking chances on a couple mid-level no-names over a day-one shutdown corner - dj fingerblazt May 2, 10:48 10
    - I think they're gonna regret not drafting Miles Jack more so than not trading up for Ramsey. -- nm - Inigo May 2, 11:15 2
      - Yup, that was a whole lot of nonsense from a lot of otherwise smart people. -- nm - David May 2, 11:26 1
        
        Jacksonville got a steal there if his knee doesn't need micro-fracture for 4-5years. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 11:27
    - Their secondary was very good the last 8 games last year. With Eric Weddle, and some improvement from Jimmy Smith, they should be decent. -- nm - Inigo May 2, 10:54 2
      - how long have we been waiting for some improvement from Jimmy Smith? - dj fingerblazt May 2, 10:55 1
        
        He was pretty good in 2013, and decent in 2014. He sucked last year, though. -- nm - Inigo May 2, 10:59
    - Maybe, but In Ozzie We Trust. - Will Hunting May 2, 10:53 2
      - Our drafts since 2008 have been mediocre to bad overall. - Inigo May 2, 10:57 1
        
        we crushed it in the 4th round, i agree -- nm - dj fingerblazt May 2, 10:59
    - I'm not even convinced he's a corner in the NFL. His stock got driven up by his measurables. -- nm - David May 2, 10:51
And I saw what you were doing back there, decline. - spamlet May 2, 10:37
A Good YouTube Channel - not sure if anyone knows about Charlie (Emergency Awesome) but has a great channel covers things like GoT, TWD and superhero - Capstern May 2, 10:30 [youtube]

    - Yeah, it's nice when they get out of the obsessive phase. - spamlet May 2, 10:47 4
      - I'm not convinced this will pass. - kelly May 2, 10:59 3

  - man, did I misread this post the first time -- nm - prayformojo May 2, 10:35 1
    - "It's, uh, red ochre." -- nm - Reagen May 2, 10:37
- Awesome. -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 10:32
- Wait until he discovers HSX -- nm - budice May 2, 10:31
- We're always hiring accountants. -- nm - MDH May 2, 10:31 1
  - I've already told Ed the Normal that Nathan's going to spot-check his work on our taxes. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 10:32
i preordered mom a Tesla Model 3 but bluecoat barrel aged is nice too -- nm - annie May 2, 10:27
I think we can safely say this GoT ranking of who will die next is poo. (spoils) -- (link) - Inigo May 2, 10:26 3
- I was surprised (spoilers) - Mel Profit May 2, 10:33 2
  - I need him to *spoils* - Pippy May 2, 11:26
  - Same here but (spoils) - Inigo May 2, 10:49
Heh, in the month of April I drove 154 miles - and I was in town the whole time :/ -- nm - Meg May 2, 10:25 2
- :/ -- nm - budice May 2, 10:26 1
  - And walked 72 miles which was not enough. -- nm - Meg May 2, 10:36
So the draft on the weekend ginned up the blood. Any Vampirates want to spend some time talking trades this week? I have surplus to trade. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request May 2, 10:24 2
- In Caveman I am looking at RBs or to move up in the Draft. -- nm - Beaker May 2, 10:34
- I also have Keepers available if anyone is willing to swap a higher draft pick - Strongbad May 2, 10:31
*heads over to Sports Authority to see if they're having a Going Out of Business sale on his favorite golf balls* -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 10:23 16
- "I need some balls." -- nm - Max May 2, 11:41
- I've never been to a going-out-of-business liquidation that was worth my time. -- nm - Mop May 2, 10:38 5
  - I have. But the local Sears is going out and they have had stuff 40% off since Easter. - Spawn May 2, 10:59
  - we loaded up at Target on essentials (deodarent, shampoos stuff like that once it became worthwhile) -- nm - Beaker May 2, 10:43 1
    - Towels. -- nm - Reagen May 2, 10:46
  - depends on what you need. Everyone always grabs the same shit, so it is usually gone right away. -- nm - groiny May 2, 10:42 1
    - Closure specialist bring in truckloads of refurbished, lesser brands, it's like those discount malls where they sell stuff not sold in the real store -- nm - zeitgeist May 2, 10:45
- It looks like they aren't auctioning assets until mid-May so not sure if the stores will liquidate before that (some stores could get bought) -- nm - ty97 May 2, 10:29 1
  - Most likely they will actually start raising their prices now. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 11:13
- yeah, I need a new driver and always need golf balls. - groiny May 2, 10:27
- Heard people reporting their clearance prices were actually higher right now. - budice May 2, 10:26 3
  - That's typically how it works. They mark everything up and then mark everything down over time. -- nm - spamlet May 2, 10:28 2
    - yup. Target did that here at first too -- nm - Beaker May 2, 10:34 1
      - Actual useful stuff disappears quickly. - Reagen May 2, 10:36
