      - Unlike mafic, I'm not poisoning people. I am, however, fleeing a lot. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 27, 21:43 7
        
        I mean... probably only powerful people, and I'd need a reason. I'm not an indiscriminate monster. -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 21:56 5
        
        So, you're a...discriminating monster? - David Jun 27, 22:07 4
        
        maligning me, and poor taste in hockey teams isn't reason enough. tyranny would do it. -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 22:10 3
        
        If you're going to talk smack about the Predators, you better make sure that poison is fatal. - David Jun 27, 22:11 2
        
        honestly I got nothing. they did much better than the flames. it's not like they've had 4 #1 draft picks and still suck. -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 22:15 1

      - don't worry, I appear to be getting old -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 21:48 4
        
        I'm mostly surprised that importune is an actual word, I don't think I've heard it before. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 21:51 3
        
        but it wasn't what I was trying to say -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 21:51 2
        
        I know - you meant inopportune. I was flipping the perspective as a subtle trick. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 21:55 1

- you should probably get him before they get back. -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 21:11 4
  - I'm leaving on Saturday. It's the only thing holding me back. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 27, 21:12 3
    - what, like they'll get a different dog while you're away? that's win-win! -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 21:18 2
      - We'll all be away for 3 weeks. This dog looks awesome, but I don't think he wants to care for himself. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 27, 21:20 1
        
        All joking aside, if that dog is still around when we get back, I'm going to insist on a shelter visit. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 27, 21:21

      - I'm glad we took that camping trip together -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 21:51
      - Seemingly unrelated question: do you "know" message board people or are they poison-worthy strangers? -- nm - David Jun 27, 21:27 6
        
        you seem nice. you're probably safe. -- nm - mafic Jun 27, 21:54 3
        
        Just to be safe, I'm going to immunize myself against all Outback poisons. -- nm - David Jun 27, 21:56 2
        
        "Alexa, how do you build an immunity against iocaine powder?" - crash davis Jun 27, 22:05
        
        "Coroner says his blood was more antivenin than blood. He hadn't even made it to the vaccines yet." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 21:57
        
        I answered "yes" to that question. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 21:35

    - Awesome! I favorited this post to read again after the season. -- nm - David Jun 27, 21:16
- While I don't agree with the order of the top 5...those are right...after that, it goes real bad--Chargers #8? Den+IND 25 and 26? Texans 21? Rams will - Flavorize Jun 27, 20:35 3
  - This isn't a projection based on schedules. It's an evaluation based on actual player performance of each team's starters. - David Jun 27, 20:36 2
    - And as we've seen with players like Devonta Freeman, these numbers can vary widely from year to year. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 28, 04:27
