        I can see that -- nm - Pippy May 5, 13:54
    - new chad it is! -- nm - ty97 May 5, 13:34
- so, expectations were not met? -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:30 6
  - I thought I would like him ten percent in person than on paper. - unbreakable mandy jones May 5, 13:32 5
    - like the guy who linkin stalked me last week in his interview. he knew a lot. - Mel Profit May 5, 13:37 4
      - cake nipples? -- nm - groiny May 5, 13:38 3

  - wait what? are you joking? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 5, 13:30 3

Currywatch: didn't practice with Warriors today....nm - x May 5, 13:28 2
- Given how they're playing, why bother? - Will Hunting May 5, 13:29 1
  - right, they're def. in no real hurry. but that he didn't even practice today makes me sort of doubt he can even make game 4....nm - x May 5, 13:31
So I can reset my port for the ST-2016 competition at midnight Eastern Time, right? - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:24 20
- After 3am, iirc. and I believe so. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 13:27
- you bastardo! - Pippy May 5, 13:26 4
  - The gloves are coming off, Pippy! - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:31 3
    - oh its already been broughten!! -- nm - Pippy May 5, 13:32 2
      - Okay, before this gets out of hand and we do something we'll all regret, we need just a few ground rules. - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:34 1
        
        Those terms are accepted - I got a few of my own - Pippy May 5, 13:54
- Reset won't work unless it's the start of a season or year, will it? - ty97 May 5, 13:26 8

    - Maybe I will just start a new port -- if that makes it easier on y'all. - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:32 5
      - I just want you to get credited for all your hard work properly. :) - Will Hunting May 5, 13:33 4
        
        I dunno ... the way this board is going, a new port under a new username might be fun. - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:37 3
        
        LOL!! - Pippy May 5, 13:46
        
        oh, i hadn't given any thought to a new user name - i was going to be all boring with like "Andie2016". \ -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:38 1
        
        Yup, I've been considering possibilities and haven't settled on one yet. -- nm - Meg May 5, 13:51
- you aren't just opening a new one? (And, midnight PST, wouldn't it be?) -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:25 4
  - I had a very old port from back in the day (like 10 years ago) that's under my same username. - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:29 2
    - I should have one or two old ones out there but can't remember the names/passwords and they've probably been long deleted. -- nm - Meg May 5, 13:52
    - ah -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:30
  - I am going to open a new one and then likely ignore the hell out of my other one until this fight to the death is over - Pippy May 5, 13:27

- You should have that person checked for radiation. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 13:26 2
  - or maybe it's a portal to another world!...nm - x May 5, 13:29 1
    - The radiation is what gives him the ability to open the portal to another world. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 13:37
CBC on Facebook Live is touring the evacuation center at Lac La Biche, Alberta. -- (link) - Mop May 5, 13:16 5

  - news story (about animals left in houses). -- (edited) - Andie May 5, 13:56
  - :( -- nm - znufrii May 5, 13:43

  - :( - just a total and complete nightmare. -- nm* - b. May 5, 13:19
This will be really campy fun. Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange star as Betty Davis and Joan Crawford -- (link) - amoxy May 5, 13:14 2
- that sounds promising...nm - x May 5, 13:18

So weird, i just got 'preview' passes for a limited movie, that is already released (The Man Who Knew Infinity). -- (link) - Andie May 5, 13:14 3
- it seems like a really action packed film though -- nm - decline May 5, 13:20
- So now you're winning things both backwards and forwards in time! -- nm - prayformojo May 5, 13:16 1
  - Seems legit -- nm - Pippy May 5, 13:18

Paul Ryan, probably the most prominent Republican in office right now says he is not ready to support Trump -- nm - decline May 5, 13:13 6
- This is the ad Clinton should use. -- nm - Max May 5, 13:49
- Endorse, but not support? -- nm - znufrii May 5, 13:27
- it should be a per se disqualifying position for anyone running for office -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 13:26
- :) - -- nm - b. May 5, 13:14
- "not ready" just means "not yet but eventually" -- nm - Beaker May 5, 13:13 1
  - Sure, but still a bit of a 'wow' statement from the Speaker. Trying to get Trump in line perhaps? -- nm - ty97 May 5, 13:18
Real estate agent in my town of 2000 people has two sisters in Fort Mac. Supposedly left with cell phones and clothes on their back. - Walt_Disney May 5, 13:12 1
- My boss sat next to a guy in the Ottawa airport yesterday afternoon. Buddy was on his way back home to Maritimes. - Name Withheld by Request May 5, 13:16
Tom Brady released a limited edition cookbook today. It costs 200 bucks and has already sold out -- (link) - decline May 5, 13:11 11
- are all of the recipes low-calorie? -- nm - call me Ishmael May 5, 13:45
- ugh, it's probably crap from their cook who doesn't allow sugar or dairy or fungi and only himalayan pink table salt...nm - x May 5, 13:13 9
  - heh. (I use himalayan pink table salt) -- nm - decline May 5, 13:14 8
    - i have a confession, i have three salt grinders. one is pink himalayan. - Andie May 5, 13:16 6
      - ok, your emergency pack is getting a little ridiculous...nm - x May 5, 13:20 1
        
        i am not a savage. -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:21
      - hmm, regular salt, kosher salt, rock salt in a grinder, ground sea salt, pink himilayan salt and smoked sea salt in a grinder - decline May 5, 13:18 3
        
        dude! you need NaA -- nm* - Pippy May 5, 13:20 1
        
        This is clever -- nm - ML Galaxy May 5, 13:21
        
        oh, i also have this 'smoked black lava salt.' (just in a bag.) -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:20

Ty, it's about much more than just keeping it out of the hands of kids. It regulates everything from the devices to the juice and the tanks that hold - Krusty May 5, 13:09
This makes the Trump tweet even better, as if that was possible. -- (link) - Volnelk May 5, 13:00 9
- The mystery deepens! -- nm - prayformojo May 5, 13:14
- OTOH, that was time spent checking something that could have been spent asking a question that mattered. -- nm - Reagen May 5, 13:02 7
  - but a question that mattered probably wouldn't garner those kind of retweets...nm - x May 5, 13:08 2
    - or merit any coherent response from the candidate -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 13:27 1
      - It's Trump. That's not happening ever. -- nm - Will Hunting May 5, 13:28
  - He also didn't say it was on the menu. I suspect that when Donald Trump calls the Trump Grill in Trump Tower and says he wants a Taco Salad then Donald Trump gets a Taco Salad. -- nm - Ender May 5, 13:06 3
    - But if they were the best, then you'd think you'd sell them. -- nm - Volnelk May 5, 13:09 2
      - Why would they want to do that? Only Donald gets the best. -- nm - znufrii May 5, 13:28 1
        
        Because capitalism. -- nm - Volnelk May 5, 13:36
It's beginning, Mexico Pres Fox apologies for using foul language at Drumph when commenting about the f%#& wall. Link added -- (link*) - zeitgeist May 5, 12:58 2

- Wow. -- nm - amoxy May 5, 13:03
i wonder why the for profit media loves trump.... - x May 5, 12:58 1
- It's a stumper -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 13:00
LIR - thanks Mr. Sassafrass jeans - I did want to spend an hour with Tom Hiddleston - Pippy May 5, 12:56 3
- are you watching the Night Manager? he has great eyes -- nm - JenBro May 5, 13:10 2
  - Yes, it is not A+, its very British but I am very entertained. His eyes are freaking amazing. - Pippy May 5, 13:12 1
    - heh "I started watching The Night Manager because of Tom Hiddleston's eyes." -- (link) - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 13:31
I realized I was dreaming last night. Totally freaked me out. - Dano May 5, 12:55

    - all of this so I can be in last place - Pippy May 5, 13:22
  - there isn't I just looked -- nm - Remlik May 5, 13:03 1
    - you got lucky -- nm - Pippy May 5, 13:11
- is it a good story? - decline May 5, 12:54 4
  - yes. It's a Superman character that goes very very bad.... - Remlik May 5, 13:01
  - i only read the first gn, but i didn't think it was great...nm - x May 5, 13:01 1
    - I really like both it and its twin, but if they're faithful to the story, it will BOMB. - David May 5, 13:22
  - Eh. It isn't bad. It will probably be a better movie than comic. -- nm - TWuG May 5, 12:57
LIR: I'm going to speculate that Donald Trump is the Presidential candidate that John Bolton has yearned for his entire life. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 5, 12:51 4
- I can't see John Bolton without the word "varmint" coming to mind. -- nm - Reagen May 5, 13:04
- Really? I completely disagree with Bolton's policies, but at least he is intelligent - amoxy May 5, 12:53 2
  - He's brilliant. I don't think he'd agree with all of Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas, but I'm going to bet he really admires ... - ReluctantCynic May 5, 13:16
  - if he was intelligent no way he'd be sporting that 'stache. -- nm - Diva May 5, 12:54
and unless I'm hearing it wrong, "it's 7hrs and *15* days" - Mel Profit May 5, 12:50 5
- It sounds like (read b on, uh, b2). Prince's version is 13, Sinead's is 15. -- nm - ty97 May 5, 12:51 4
  - Split the difference, let's say 14 -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 13:06
  - yah, that's it. they went with his original version. -- nm - b. May 5, 12:56 2
    - I think I need a nap. -- nm - Mel Profit May 5, 12:59 1
      - *hands you multiple sugar packets* -- nm - ty97 May 5, 13:30
So, apparently it's snowing in North Carolina -- (link) - decline May 5, 12:47 6
- still blaming global warming .... -- nm - call me Ishmael May 5, 13:46 2
  - "climate change" :) -- nm - Andie May 5, 13:47 1
    - whatever ... i'm not sold on either one .... - call me Ishmael May 5, 14:03
- And Canada is burning like hell, Drumph might be president. ...it's book of revelations time -- nm - zeitgeist May 5, 12:50
- I saw my breath this morning. I honestly cannot ever remember that happening in May before. - David May 5, 12:49
- "It'll be a cold day in hell..." comes to mind. -- nm - Max May 5, 12:48
It's a shame we had to have those "go bag" threads. Bright side: now I know what to get mom for Mother's Day -- nm - con_carne May 5, 12:46
"Free Trump Taco Bowl with every deportation!" -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 5, 12:44
