      - To Qale -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 08:29
Start one: Rob Kelly (Wash), Jordan Howard (chi) or CJ Prosise (Seahawks) -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:22 2
- Prosise has the best matchup--Phi's D-line is pretty weak on the right side--He should get a ton of passes too--Howard is hurt--Kelley could get a TD - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:29 1
  - CJ was my starter, just like to check :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:31

- Just like Supreme Court oral arguments! -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:30
- I think the analysis of how Trump won/How HRC lost is substantive for Democrats to determine next steps... - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:28 2
  - I'm happy to discuss Clinton's flaws and why she lost -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 17, 08:31
  - he wouldn't have won in any event -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:29

  - Boo! -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:27
- ...and? - znufrii Nov 17, 08:26
- you said it was a waste of time when we talked about TWD too. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:26 5
  - Well that's it for Westworld theories. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:28
  - what the hell CAN we talk about? -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:27 3
    - boobs -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:27 2
      - mine, or other peoples? -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:28 1
        
        yes -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:28
- as was the case before the election as well. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:21 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - even that was a lot of intrepetation on all our parts, into what he thought about each candidate. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:25
So, our daycare uses the Tadpole app to communicate with parents/send pictures throughout the day, etc. - znufrii Nov 17, 08:05 3
- Congratulations! -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 08:35
- Haha. Good news bad news. We have a cool system. It isn't perfect. -- nm - volnelk Nov 17, 08:09 1
  - I'm pretty sure they had just set her up in the system, and whoever took the picture selected her account by mistake. Ah, technology! :) -- nm* - znufrii Nov 17, 08:10
Rep. John Lewis grapich novel March Vol. 3 becomes the 1st graphic novel/comic to win the National Book Award (the Oscars of the book world) -- (link) - Remlik Nov 17, 08:04
From the following list of WR to play this week: Brandin Cooks, Kenny Britt, Rishard Mathews, Jarvis Landry, Marvin Jones. Who do you sit? -- nm* - volnelk Nov 17, 08:03 11
- Cooks has the best matchup--Mathews will be in the biggest scoring game--lots of opportunities. -- nm - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:08 1
  - I'd sit Landry -- nm - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:10
- In Goff's first start, I'm benching Britt. -- nm - ML Nov 17, 08:05 8
  - from what I saw of Goff during Hard Knocks, I'd start Byron Maxwell at WR -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 08:11
  - I was of that mind, but I also wonder if he becomes the safety blanket. - volnelk Nov 17, 08:10 6
    - Tyler Higbee! - David Nov 17, 08:27
    - Dolphins are going to blitz Goff non-stop--it's going to be unending, brutal, and ugly. Gurley will be running a lot too -- nm - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:16 4
      - I was suprised the Dolphin D was available in Caveman...surprised and happy -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:17 3
        
        Nice pick-up--They've been getting TDs, the last couple weeks--They also have the easiest schedule for fantasy D's for the remaining season - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:24 2
        
        I've been doing well playing the waiver wire for D in Caveman, always an easy pickup -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:25 1
        
        Nice! That's a great strategy, to stream Ds--I never understand people that draft Ds in the middle rounds. -- nm - Flavorize Nov 17, 08:37
I might finally be tiring of Destiny. -- nm - groiny Nov 17, 08:03
does anyone want to hear a rumor about rick perry being the energy secretary....nm - x Nov 17, 07:51 32
- We should start Trump Cabinet Mad Libs - Strongbad Nov 17, 08:22 2
  - Robert Duvall, Department of the Interior -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:26 1
    - Cliven Bundy, Bureau of Lands Management -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:28
- This seems more like a cruel joke on Perry to remind everyone of his debate brain-freeze. -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 08:14
- It's clever since he won't know if the job is real. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:01
- Well at least you know he'll neither give you up nor let you down. -- nm - Baron More Dough Nov 17, 07:56
- Why not? Might as well get upset about something else that will probably be debunked tomorrow. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 07:55 1
  - i like the way you think....nm - x Nov 17, 07:59
- let me know when the Trump team actually publicly confirms someone, because I'm convinced a majority of these rumors are made up -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:54 14
  - probably most (one Trump insider said that unless Trump says it, don't believe it) - decline Nov 17, 07:56 13
    - When looking at past administrations' transitions, this is unusual, right? All these rumors accompanied by whispers of infighting within the team? - Diva Nov 17, 08:01 10
      - False rumors feel typical to me, though in my memory Bush had his team buttoned up pretty early. -- nm - Max Nov 17, 08:18
      - I suspect it's somewhere in the middle. They're more discombobulated than usual, but most of the expectations are also more unrealistic than usual. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:12 5
        
        meaning the 'drain the swamp' expectations in not hauling out old, crusty names? -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:15 4
        
        I mean the "why don't they have somebody named and working inside the Pentagon 4 days after the election?" expectations. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:17 3
        
        I read yesterday both candidates were told months ago to have lists developed and positions ready. The Trump campaign did none of that prep work -- nm* - decline Nov 17, 08:23 1
        
        typical. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 08:25
        
        Yeah, it's not like they're on a time crunch or anything. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:18
      - I suspect social media advances play a huge factor. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:02 1
        
        and my guess is that the transition team takes a lead from the President Elect in regards to it's use. - Mel Profit Nov 17, 08:08
      - nothing about this transition is normal -- nm - decline Nov 17, 08:01
    - but unless Trump said that, can I believe even that statement? AHHHHH! -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:58 1
      - But given Trump's history, even if he says it, he'll say something different the next day (if not the next sentence), so you can't even believe that! - pmb Nov 17, 08:02
- he and Forrest Lucas (possible Sec Interior) will get along well... -- nm - decline Nov 17, 07:53
- It's as if he's just looking for the most offensive person to put in every role. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 07:52 7
  - Or somebody is looking for the most offensive person to create a rumor about for every role... -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 07:56 6
    - *ding* -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 08:04
    - Or the Trump Transition Team is deliberately spreading misinformation so we won't be inclined to muster as much opposition to his actual nominees. -- nm* - znufrii Nov 17, 08:00 3
      - Which is already covered by what I said. -- nm - Ender Nov 17, 08:09 1
        
        I inferred "somebody" to mean outside the T3 pursuing their own agenda. - znufrii Nov 17, 08:15
      - (Much like they did during the campaign) -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:09
    - Fair enough. I will wait on actual confirmed info. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 07:58
There is a Blizzard warning in effect for the Northern Plains -- (link) - decline Nov 17, 07:47 1
- (I ain't getting a flake, looks like) -- nm - ML Nov 17, 07:48
Stalker poll: is there something new you've become interested in this past year? -- nm - kelly Nov 17, 07:46 5
- Sailor Moon. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 21, 18:22
- nope -- nm - Crashquick Nov 17, 09:00
- poll answer: bread baking, coloring -- nm - decline Nov 17, 07:55
- unpoll: There are 5,125 MAGA hats still available for purchase -- (link) - decline Nov 17, 07:52
- Survival bunkers, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 07:50
ST Stalker Poll - you need more! Link something at Think Geek, what do you collect? - Epiphany Nov 17, 07:44 1
- here -- (link) - Crashquick Nov 17, 09:00
The Groosalugg has successfully seduced Cylon #6. - David's iPad Nov 17, 07:38
So do we need to clarify between "Ok" and "Ohhhhhhhkaaaaaaay"? -- nm - volnelk Nov 17, 07:35 7
- not to mention okie doke....nm - x Nov 17, 07:38 6
  - Offensive to Sooners fans. -- nm - David's iPad Nov 17, 08:00
  - With or without the artichokey? -- nm - Baron More Dough Nov 17, 07:55 1
    - *snort* -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 08:02
  - Otay -- nm - budice Nov 17, 07:40 2
    - Okadechay? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 07:45
    - OH-KAYYY!!! -- nm - Li'l Jon Nov 17, 07:43
DNI Clapper has submitted his (expected) letter of resignation. Trump will appoint replacement. -- (link) - ML Nov 17, 07:23 4
- and the Vikings suck! -- nm - decline Nov 17, 07:34
- clap off **clap clap** -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 07:32 1
  - this joke is so horrendously bad that I am mad at myself for not thinking of it -- nm - crash davis Nov 17, 07:33
- for background, Wired's in-depth interview with James Clapper -- (link) - crash davis Nov 17, 07:30
I just bought this Mr Tree lamp. - Andie Nov 17, 07:17 17
- After a very quick google search I'm very disappointed I couldn't find any mythology about Mr. Tree. - sycor Nov 17, 08:14 1
  - ...He was born a poor scrub pine... -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 08:21
- hideous, but has its charm. -- (edited) - Diva Nov 17, 07:21 6
  - oh it's awful/wonderful. -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 07:21 5
    - Yes. I love it but for its weirdness. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 07:22
    - you can also get Mr. Tree greetings cards and a key ring - Oh, say that you did! -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 07:22 3
      - i did not. now i'm sad. -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 07:23 2
        
        (i like that the greeting card has skulls at his base.) -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 07:27 1
        
        yeah, he's like Krampus' Christmas tree. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 07:36
- That's my cousin. -- nm - Baby Groot Nov 17, 07:20
- looking to terrify some children, are we? -- nm - decline Nov 17, 07:19 6
  - That was my thought as well. I could some kids finding that scary to see at night. -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 07:22 4
    - yeah, well then it's time for those wusses to grow up. -- nm - Diva Nov 17, 07:23 3
      - It's never too early to learn the true meaning of kitsch! -- nm - philip k mud Nov 17, 07:33
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Nov 17, 07:25
      - right? -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 07:23
  - no, it's a kind hearted antlered tree! -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 07:19

  - aw, no. do i have to start using caps and not using ellipses....nm - x Nov 17, 07:17 1
    - Let's just say that when someone's been away for a while, it's easy to forget things like posting styles. -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 07:45
  - That was my thought, too. -- nm - mara Nov 17, 07:13
- You might have missed that whole thing on here where it was often used by some as a dismissive way to end a political discussion - znufrii Nov 17, 07:09 16
  - people need to put their big boy pants on. - groiny Nov 17, 08:09 2
    - OK. -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 08:18 1
      - *rages* - groiny Nov 17, 08:20
  - Speaking for me personally - Strongbad Nov 17, 07:35 2
    - To be honest, I never really got the "agree to disagree" part from you. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 17, 07:38 1
      - I don't think I've been consistent on my end. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 07:46
  - i def. missed that....nm - x Nov 17, 07:20 1
    - Isn't communication fun!? :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 17, 07:22
  - what are we talking about? (I missed something) -- nm* - Diva Nov 17, 07:11 7
    - The use of "ok" as a genuine acceptance of another's argument, or as a dismissive retort. - znufrii Nov 17, 07:13 6
      - I find "ok" in this context tends to come off as just slight of an eyeroll -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 17, 07:14 5
        
        Hi! Quick question: have you been visiting the U.K., Turkey, or the USA lately? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 07:30 4
        
        I did move back to the USA in March (nm) - Hotkiss Nov 17, 07:35 3

        Seriously. We can all blame hotkiss! -- nm - JaxSean Nov 17, 08:23
        
        I wonder if it's actually just an extension of that line from fight club. "On a long enough timeline ..." - Beryllium Nov 17, 08:09
- maybe tone gets lost in print, but that's not at all what is sounded like. -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 07:06 2
