YDC: There's a British Open spot up for grabs at the Barracuda this weekend since the Greenbriar was cancelled. -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 07:29
The Giants aren't going to use a DH tonight in Oakland because MadBum is better than any of their bench guys anyway. -- nm - spamlet Jun 30, 07:23 2
- *blows out his achilles running out a ground ball* -- nm - MadBum Jun 30, 07:29
- I saw that! -- nm - Ron Burgundy Jun 30, 07:24
'Wait are you fucking serious? Straight up? Ok.' *mutes phone and laughs uncontrollably* -- nm - Predators brass Jun 30, 07:14 14
- A quote from the Star today: - Reagen Jun 30, 07:25 3
  - That organization sounds like a trainwreck. -- nm - David Jun 30, 07:29 2
    - I mean I'm an Oilers fan so I can't exactly throw stones but... - Reagen Jun 30, 07:30 1
      - What fascinates me is how popular (and important) Subban is to the Montreal community. - David Jun 30, 07:34
- Next time at least say you're from the Yankees! *hangs up* -- nm - spamlet Jun 30, 07:25
- "Try for a draft pick!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 07:18
- yep. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 07:17
- It feels like the pro sports equivalent of wife swapping. -- nm - David Jun 30, 07:16 6
  - you got the younger, sexier one. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 07:19 5
    - Even so, Predators fans are in mourning. - David Jun 30, 07:26 4
      - If you guys can add a forward, you are legit Cup contenders within 2 years - Reagen Jun 30, 07:29 3
        
        I actually wonder if Taylor Hall for Seth Jones was pitched at one point. -- nm - David Jun 30, 07:32 2
        
        That would still have been an overpay, but would have made more sense. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 07:38
        
        I get why, but losing Hall sucks hard. -- nm - Predators brass Jun 30, 07:35
Today in that crazy Bernie FB land: This weekend is "Signs4Bernie" where they plan to stand in cities peacefully holding signs to show superdelgates - MDH Jun 30, 07:12 9
- And If that doesn't work. One of us will break into her hotel room and plant drugs in her suitcase. -- nm - Bernie Kooks Jun 30, 07:29
- "Man, I hope my Senator drives past here." -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 07:20
- *points at them, points and them and laughs* -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 07:18
- TBF, this is the least crazy thing they've done in a while -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 07:13 5
  - True. They are mainly still pushing their DNC lawsuit for election fraud, but that's ongoing and not hot and fresh today :-) -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 07:15 4
    - Ignoring the crazies (hard to do) the 'movement' seems now to be focused on how much they can get into the platform - ty97 Jun 30, 07:18 3
      - And seem to have problems taking yes for an answer if the reaction to the draft platform among my pro-Bernie friends is any measure. -- nm* - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 07:19 2
        
        As the minority, they didn't get everything they demanded so *RAGE* -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 07:20 1
        
        Right. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 07:21
The "Keep America Great" ads for The Purge are tremendous. -- nm - David Jun 30, 07:09 9
- The part of me that believes in fairness twitches a little bit, like I should feel sorry for Donald Trump and how easy he is to mock. -- nm - landbeck Jun 30, 07:26 4
  - Don't feel bad for him. He'd knock over a kid in a wheelchair for a nickle and then brag about it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 30, 07:28 3
    - That kid should THANK me, that I can tell you, now he'll have such great stories to tell, get was a loser, now he's got a great story, a great story -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 30, 13:18
    - And then sue the kid. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 07:30 1
      - And it wouldn't lose him one supporter. -- nm - Ender Jun 30, 07:34
- I feel like the marketing campaign has been strong and timely, and I didn't see either of its predecessors. -- nm - TorBaron Jun 30, 07:25 3
  - the first Purge was pretty solid. -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 07:25 2
    - No it wasn't. It was so predictable...But I am kinda looking forward to this one -- nm - amoxy Jun 30, 07:33 1
      - What I loved about The Purge is that it surprised me on at least three locations, which virtually never happens. - David Jun 30, 07:35
Joint Base Andrews on lock down because of an apparent shooter. -- nm - CQ Jun 30, 07:06 22
- Seems to be a false report -- (link) - decline Jun 30, 07:18
- This is mostly off-topic, but can someone explain why it was re-named from Andrews AFB to JBA? - ty97 Jun 30, 07:10 18
  - Because it was joined with a naval air facility. -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 07:13 17
    - (To be clear, "joint" would mean that is used by more than one service - just like how Joint Chiefs of Staff is a committee comprised of the leaders - Roger More Jun 30, 07:16 1
      - So it has NOTHING to do with pot??? -- nm - Ender Jun 30, 07:34
    - ummmm, errrrrr, ummmm... - ty97 Jun 30, 07:14 14
      - You are neither an Officer or a Gentleman. -- (edited) - Diva Jun 30, 07:23
      - you're so pretty - decline Jun 30, 07:21
      - I can't believe you've never seen Top Gun. For all sorts of reasons. -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 07:16 11
        
        But yes - the navy has all sorts of planes. Fighter squadrons for aircraft carriers, aircraft for maritime surveillance, anti-submarine warfare and - Roger More Jun 30, 07:22 4
        
        THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE - ty97 Jun 30, 07:29 3
        
        You need to read a Tom Clancy novel. Air power as projected by the Navy and air power as projected by the Air Force are completely different things. - landbeck Jun 30, 07:31 2
        
        There's got to be a better way for him to learn! -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 07:31 1
        
        ha! -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 07:34
        
        I saw it like decades ago when I was 'straight' -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 07:20 5

- There has got to be another AYCE sushi buffet closer than 50 miles, right? -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 07:04 3
  - No, the casino is 50miles away; the AYCE place is 1.5 miles. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 07:04 2
    - Ah gotcha, that makes sense - I'm an idiot. Sushi then sports bar and shoot pool? - MDH Jun 30, 07:08 1
      - 3 days? Got to ACY! -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 07:21

      - Yes, and this place is spectacularly good. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 07:26 1
        
        I am perfectly fine never finding out if I like sushi. -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 07:28
      - and leads right to his mouth! -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 07:26

- she is absolutely ridiculous on that song. - Diva Jun 30, 07:04 2
  - I know nothing about the show and super seriously want to go now, just based on that. -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 30, 07:06 1
    - I enjoyed the show. And it's probably tighter now than it was here. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 07:07
