  - He's...ummm...pre-screening the potential attendees. -- nm - Shaun Aug 16, 07:23
  - agreed -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 07:22
Peter Thiel is totally buying Gawker and then having everyone killed right? -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 07:16 2

  - So, 100% not creepy as f**k? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 07:50
Current point totals would suggest the way to win Baron's Olympics Challenge was to just pick the highest multipliers. - JaxSean Aug 16, 07:11 16
- ... and Vote for Amelia!!!! -- nm - decline Aug 16, 07:14 1
  - WORD -- nm - JaxSean Aug 16, 07:15
- this is bullshit and I want my money back -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 07:14 11
  - Yeah! :-) It's going to be a battle for the bronze while JenBro and Strongbad duke it out for the gold. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 07:19 10
    - Venezuela needs to win a gold (so they can sell it and fix their country). But...mostly for me. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 16, 07:28 1
      - ha-ha! - Diva Aug 16, 07:29
    - I'm terrible at this but I'm enjoying it. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:21 7
      - Me too. It's giving me a rooting interest in other countries. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 07:22 6

Olympics: Mens Triple Jump spoils... - budice Aug 16, 07:07
Football Gurus, what's a Dorial Green-Beckham? (Eagles just got him from the Titans) -- nm - decline Aug 16, 06:59 20
- A very underwhelming WR. -- nm - ML Aug 16, 07:03 18
  - I like him and I was thinking he'd have a good season but now I'm not so sure with the move to the Eagles. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 07:05 1
    - Or with that news below. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 07:07
  - "Titans are upset w/ how Green-Beckham responded to demands. Told to work harder in offseason, came in out of shape. Didn't improve." -- (link) - ML Aug 16, 07:05 15
    - It's a recurring theme with him going back to his HS days. Five dollar talent, ten cent head. -- nm - spamlet Aug 16, 07:29 2
      - I like that saying. I'm going to steal it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 16, 07:30 1
        
        It's a play off Bull Durham's million dollar arm, five cent head. -- nm* - spamlet Aug 16, 07:34
    - Yeesh, not good there buddy. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 07:06
    - that's good right? Does this spelltrouble though for that Eagle's WR who hurt himself recently? or was he ok afterward? -- nm* - Beaker Aug 16, 07:06
    - awesome -- nm - decline Aug 16, 07:05 9
      - Keep in mind that he was the 40th overall pick just last year--so he can't be written off yet, but he needs an attitude adjustment. - ML Aug 16, 07:11 8
        
        He was trouble at Mizzou...pushed a couple girls around, 1 of them down some stairs...was dismissed from the team - Jim Aug 16, 07:29
        
        I think it shows how desperate (and mediocre) the Eagles are this year -- nm - decline Aug 16, 07:25 6
        
        eh, they traded a ham sandwich for him...he's a worthy gamble for the price -- nm - ML Aug 16, 07:28 5
        
        hey, hey, hey ham sammiches are *great*. Don't be hatin'. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:30 4
        
        nasty ol' processed ham though -- nm - ML Aug 16, 07:31 3
        
        more like a Spam sammich -- nm - Jim Aug 16, 07:35
        
        ML -- Stop. Hatin'. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:33 1

Julian Edelman's Football 101 Camp for Women has sold out. - Diva Aug 16, 06:41 20
- I love how enterprising these guys are at shagging everything they can. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 16, 06:51 1
  - He just shows up every day, picks 15 ladies for VIP, then departs. -- nm - budice Aug 16, 06:53
- of course it is. sub poll: If you had to pick - whose camp would you go to? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 06:48 13
  - As a straight married fella - I think Gronk is an effective Wing Man. He's loud and stupid/funny but Klingon big so the girls just flock to him. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Aug 16, 07:32 4
    - An evening with Gronk has a high possibility of "how did I end up in Mexico?" that you have to account for. -- nm - Reagen Aug 16, 07:44 1
      - and why is there a wombat in the tub? -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 16, 07:47
    - wow, you've put some thought into this. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:38 1
      - I saw JE up close, remember. He's brutally effective with the ladies. - Mel Profit Aug 16, 07:45
  - what are the choices? -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:02 3
    - Gronk or Edleman ?( spelling is wrong) -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 07:21 1
      - they're both pretty dumb, but Edelman over Gronk because he seems less sweaty and he is attractive at least. -- nm - Diva Aug 16, 07:23
    - Just say Nick Jonas and get it over with. -- nm - Shaun Aug 16, 07:02
  - Pippy needs a night Kaep. -- nm - Inigo Aug 16, 06:50 2
    - on the plus side, based on how he is playing he may have lots of spare time to do these camps all year round soon -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 06:51 1
      - *gasp* omg - you just didn't! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 07:20
  - Everyone knows your answer. -- nm - Shaun Aug 16, 06:49
- "Ladies, help me remember!" -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 06:46

  - Not anymore but I did for many years when I was younger. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 06:44 5
    - I still have a sweatshirt and a Pats windbreaker thanks to them :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 06:51 1
      - Nice! I had a VHS tape of the 1996 Yankees championship. I gave it away to Goodwill years ago. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 06:57
    - I had it once back in the mid-90s. Nothing like getting a weekly magazine 3 weeks later. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 16, 06:48 2
      - Ha! That would suck. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 06:55 1
        
        It certainly was. -- nm - Shaun Aug 16, 07:02
So, i attempted to make gluten-free, vegan, zucchini bread last night. It's not bad (i doubled the recipe). -- (edited) - Andie Aug 16, 06:03 2
- I made a gluten, fat, salt, sugar free supper...it was ice cubes -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 07:01
- awesome :) . I made a gluten-free carrot cake a few months back. I think all gluten free stuff is pretty dense -- nm - decline Aug 16, 07:00
SITWAP but a horrifying recounting of what happened at JFK on Sunday night -- (link) - secretslacker Aug 16, 05:53 2

    - The Sbarro is VERY upscale. -- nm - Ender Aug 16, 06:45
    - hey! that's like where i work! (Nordstroms is opening this fall.) -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 06:04 7
      - [deleted] 3

- [deleted] 10
  - Alternate universe Biden is looking at a 40 state sweep. -- nm - Reagen Aug 16, 06:26 9
    - Alternative-universe generic GOP candidate wouldn't be far behind, IMO. - ML Aug 16, 06:45 4
      - agreed. Anyone other than Trump would be giving HRC all she could handle. I think that's what's keeping the GOP up at night... - Mel Profit Aug 16, 07:01 3
        
        your IM: it's killing me -- nm - ML Aug 16, 07:03 2

        Not my circus, not my monkeys. - ML Aug 16, 07:10
    - Agreed. He has Trump's "Telling it like it is" demeanor with far less scandals than Hillary. - Inigo Aug 16, 06:31 2
