FF help : Since Jones is out, options to replace him are Cole Beasley, Mark Ingram vs Ari or Blount vs Den? - groiny Dec 16, 10:21 10
- Blount and it's not close. -- nm - ML Dec 16, 11:08
- Beasley... He appears to have the easier matchup... Tough sledding for the others. -- nm - VMan Dec 16, 10:39
- I'm so glad I don't have to pretend to pay attention to football anymore this season. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 10:29

"free coffee" at work, is not very good, it is hardly worth drinking it even at that price. - groiny Dec 16, 10:00 18

  - both Dunkin and Starbucks is like a 2 block walk, which is not a big deal in Spring, Summer or Fall..... - groiny Dec 16, 10:08

  - we have 2 kinds of coffee, Peets and Lavazza. - groiny Dec 16, 10:04 9
    - Maybe they're not making it right. Peet's should be fairly decent. -- nm* - znufrii Dec 16, 10:07 8
      - my guess is whoever is making in in the morning, is putting way too much coffee grounds in there. -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 10:09 3
        
        It's more likely the opposite. Too much grounds gives proper coffee. - Ender Dec 16, 12:05
        
        That'll do it. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:10 1

        like Community. *shudder* -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 16, 10:53
        
        I think the Lavazza is the packs, the peets is grounds -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 10:12
- just put a shot of whiskey in it - decline Dec 16, 10:01
