- I've never understood why people waste their time listening to sports commentary. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:25 16
  - Hang Up & Listen is a sports commentary podcast that even you would enjoy. And I like a couple ESPN radio hosts. Bomani Jones for one. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:41 1
    - If Bomani was crossing the road in front of my car... -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:58
  - i never listen to sports radio, but i love a lot of single sport podcasts on hoop and soccer.... - x Dec 2, 11:36
  - Eh, Mike & Mike are fine. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 11:31 1
    - Tim & Sid ! -- nm - mud Dec 2, 11:35
  - the only one I can stomach is PTI and Wilbon is slowly turning into a grumpy old man from when I first started watching. -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 11:30 4
    - This and he's a starf*cker. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:42
    - I don't like it as much as I used to and both are grumpy and often wrong. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:32 2
      - Tony has always been grumpy, but a fun grumpy. Wilbon is now a mean grump -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:00 1
        
        and he *really* hates small plates and tapas. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 12:12
  - I enjoy stuff like PTI and Around the Horn. They're much less inflammatory than Sports Radio which can get absolutely ridic. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:30
  - I think there can be entertainment and some insight depending the commentator. The Men in Blazers for example..ok..more entertainment but still.. -- nm - JD Dec 2, 11:27
  - I like sports radio sometimes. I like to listen to the discussions if it's not just people bitching or suggesting terrible trades. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 2, 11:26 3
    - there's a lot of awful terrible stuff in there. Do we think this one really belongs on this list, though... - Diva Dec 2, 11:29 2
      - heh - Spawn Dec 2, 11:33
      - It's arguably the worst on the list. ;-) - Krusty Dec 2, 11:31

I'd heard the speculation last week, but seems to be getting more founded: Did ST know that the Colombia airplane crash was very likely due to - ty97 Dec 2, 11:09 3
- Yeah.. - Marlowe Dec 2, 11:48
- yup, that plane shouldn't have made that trip -- nm - decline Dec 2, 11:11 1

  - I've got to email you about something else next week anyways. I'll ask about it then. -- nm - crash davis Dec 2, 11:58
- why you do fail me, crash davis? -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 11:05 1
  - This is to get you used to the inevitable failure I'm going to give you at a crucial time in battle -- nm - crash davis Dec 2, 11:23
Apparently we're doing a "progressive" holiday party in the office this year. I'm supposed to provide a specialty cocktail for the department. GO! -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 10:59 27
- eggnog and Amaretto. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:10 12
  - I will be trying this. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:34
  - i have never had this. hmmmmm -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 11:14 10
    - it's nice. the amaretto cuts into the eggnog and makes it less cloying while adding almond flavor and a soft boozy kick. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:22 2
      - it sounds like a better pairing than rum, really. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 11:24 1
        
        I think it is. The flavors align well. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:24
    - eggnog tastes icky -- nm* - decline Dec 2, 11:14 6
      - store bought generally isn't good but my grandmother's recipe is awesome. - ty97 Dec 2, 11:33
      - Eggnog is awesome. You're icky. - Krusty Dec 2, 11:23 4
        
        this surprises me. i didn't think you'd like the texture. -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:31 3
        
        Yeah, I love it but only one glass. It's so thick! -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 11:34 2
        
        that is why you cut it with milk. newb. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 12:03
        
        ik, r? -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:35
- cum in a hot tub. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 11:05 3

  - The 'Hey! Midori isn't sweet enough so lets add sugar to it' shot -- nm* - decline Dec 2, 11:06 2
    - *throws up in his mouth a little bit* -- nm* - znufrii Dec 2, 11:08
    - heh. you could really make any bright green cocktail, something in a pitcher, and add a cherry and call it the same thing. (like Midori, lemon juice and soda) -- nm* - Andie Dec 2, 11:08
- bitter tears--oh wait, wrong kind of progressive -- nm - ML Dec 2, 11:01 1
  - *chortle* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:02
- Nothing like a good Old Fashioned around the holidays. But if you're looking for something more seasonal, mulled wine is always a good option. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:01 1
  - mulled wine was my first thought -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 11:07
- blow jobs -- nm - decline Dec 2, 11:00

From B2: I'll take both Emma Stone and Shawn Mendes please. -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 10:56 20
- You can have the twink, but hands off my wife! -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 10:56 19
  - This is a surprising thread. - David Dec 2, 11:34
  - He's much more of a twunk, really. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:02 7
    - This term has two different meanings. I'm used to "former twink now no longer twink/out of shape" but there's also "twink/hunk." - MDH Dec 2, 11:09 6
      - "Twink/hunk" is much more accurate. I wasn't aware of the former definition, but totally get it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:12
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Don't mind JackDawson, MDH. I've been putting up with these types of negative, prejudicial, disparaging comments for years. - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:14 3

        I'll bet you were like a mini Tom Selleck of Monterrey when you were younger. - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:58 1
        
        [deleted]
  - I think I would have married her when Easy A came out. I love her in that so much. -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 10:58 9
    - she's fantastic in that. When I saw it I knew she'd have a great career if she could keep her head on and not Lohan it the f*ck all up -- nm - Diva Dec 2, 11:55
    - I watch Aloha last night (sort of, it was on when I turned on the TV). She was both incredibly annoying and cute at the same time in that -- nm - decline Dec 2, 11:04
    - Yup, that's when I fell in love with her too -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 10:59 6
      - Zombie land was my first exposure. Get in line boys. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:03 5
        
        Superbad. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:04 4
        
        Well fine, but I didn't get stuck watching Jonah Hill. Still winning. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:08 3
        
        If you think I got the short end of the stick watching him, try being in her shoes. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:08 2
        
        She got paid for that. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:13 1
        
        It was her first feature role, so probably not enough! -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:18
"Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of 48 of the 50 US and DC (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Canada, and US territories & possessions)." - Reagen Dec 2, 10:50 3
- My guess is they include it because there is a need. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:03
- We don't need snark from residents of North Montana -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 10:52 1
  - Yeah, Reagen. Elections have consequences, you know. -- nm* - ReluctantCynic Dec 2, 11:00
REB2, znu appears to be right. Indy Star calls it "interest income of $2,501 to $5,000 from an investment in a United Technologies Corp. bond" -- (link) - ty97 Dec 2, 10:49 4
- Although Ender is wrong. Trump would do just about anything for 5k. - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:01
- which, honestly, he probably has no idea he owns given the minuscule amount -- nm - decline Dec 2, 10:51 2
  - Agreed. And if he was a stock investor, the job move to Mexico might have actually benefitted him financially. - ty97 Dec 2, 10:54
  - Stab in the dark his holding would be in the low six figures, if that, so yeah, miniscule for him. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:53
pfft, what do those communists at the Wall Street Journal know about business? -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:48
Seriously, are we not doing 'phrasing' anymore? - znufrii Dec 2, 10:45 4
- It's because I finally changed the slickertalk logo. Everyone is off their game. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:50
- everyone has me killfiled -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 10:48 2
  - Wait, we can do that? -- nm - David Dec 2, 10:49 1
    - Killfile is normally opt-in, but in groiny's case he is auto-killfiled for everyone and you have to choose to unkillfile him. -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 10:50
McDonald's waffle fries review: Imagine McDonald's fries, but waffle shaped. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:45 13
- [deleted]
- That sounds spectacular, because I often feel that McDonald's fries are too thin. - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:49 9
  - it's obvious that with the Rosti burger thing they said, "well, what else can we make from that?" -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 11:02
  - McDonalds fries are the best fast food fries. -- nm - Andie Dec 2, 10:49 7
    - Agreed. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:58 1
      - (Five Guys is a close second) -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:58
    - Restaurant and bar I go to has a burger/sandwich section of the menu. The owner also owns several McD's and he uses their fries in the restaurant -- nm - decline Dec 2, 10:56 2
      - that isn't a violation of the franchise agreement? -- nm* - znufrii Dec 2, 10:57 1
        
        *shrug* rich people get away with lots of crap (he owns something like 14 McD's) -- nm - decline Dec 2, 10:58
    - Prediction: ST is about to get super fighty! -- nm - ty97 Dec 2, 10:52 1
      - At least it will be about something important for a change. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 11:00
- hold on, I need to parse this out a bit -- nm - ML Dec 2, 10:47
