Ed the Normal and I were talking the other night; he thinks ARod should just go full heel - Will Hunting May 7, 10:00 6
- Agreed. If he took it really over the top, he'd gain more fans who are into that kinda thing. - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 10:04
- he should just do a gay porn. -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 10:02 4
  - I wonder if a leaked Madonna/ARod sex tape would help or not. -- nm - David May 7, 10:03 1
    - Only to prove he's not gay. Otherwise, it's just another Madonna sex tape. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 10:06
  - Eww. -- nm - nubby May 7, 10:02 1
    - I second this - Epiphany May 7, 10:03
does anyone know bourbon? which bourbon would be a good choice for blackberry bourbon mint juleps? - kare May 7, 09:56 22
- Maker's Mark, Knob Creek, and if you want to impress your alcoholic friends, Wild Turkey -- nm - con_carne May 7, 10:03
- Maker's Mark is the best for mixing.. dont' need higher quality. - colin May 7, 10:03 3
  - Bulliet is good for mixing as it has a slight orangy taste, but any bourbon will do, Jim Beam green label is what i use for mixing - zeitgeist May 7, 11:30
  - but the extra left over that you drink on the rocks? you want that to be good. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 7, 10:04 1
    - it's still decent for that.. not gut rot by any means ;) -- nm - colin May 7, 10:06
- woodford reserve. mmmmm. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 7, 09:59
- first off, Jack Daniels is Tennessee Whiskey, not Bourbon. - znufrii May 7, 09:58 8
  - and a blackberry bourbon mint julep sounds delicious -- nm - znufrii May 7, 09:59
  - doesn't it say bourbon on the label somewhere? -- nm - kare May 7, 09:59 6
    - You're thinking of Jim Beam. (nm) - musubi May 7, 10:01 1
      - oooooooooooooooooh. -- nm - kare May 7, 10:01
    - nope. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 10:00 3

        You're only going to call her stupid? Man, *you're* stupid! -- nm - Qale May 7, 10:03
- Jim Beam (ick) Knob Creek, Makers Mark (my choice) -- nm - decline May 7, 09:58 3
  - oh, and Wild Turkey (not a good choice for what you want) and Woodford Reserve (never tried this one) -- nm - decline May 7, 10:01 2
    - the new honey flavored wild turkey could be intriguing in the drink. -- nm - locust street loves mandy lane May 7, 10:03
    - i am intrigued by this woodford reserve. -- nm - kare May 7, 10:01
- the only other one i know is Maker's Mark. -- nm - Andie May 7, 09:58 1
  - jeff just googled and also saw maker's mark as a recommendation. plus i do like maker's mark. done! thanks! -- nm - kare May 7, 10:00
- s2a probably does, but he isnt around here anymore. -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 09:57

random observation: Katy Perry must have some odd allergy that prohibits and sort of fabric from touching her legs at any time. -- nm - Andie May 7, 09:52 5
- I think the Latin term is "slutty" -- nm - Guy May 7, 10:03
- I'm a fan. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 09:59
- and = any. argh -- nm - Andie May 7, 09:53 2
  - if we're lucky, that's highly infectious amongst women - zork May 7, 09:54 1
    - yeah, but then we dont get sexy stockings ever -- nm - Guy May 7, 10:04
Maybe the 2 turkey subs for lunch ere too many....*yawn* - Will Hunting May 7, 09:51 1
- see, and when you asked for 2 twelve inchers, I thought - groiny May 7, 09:52
Any recommendations for a how-to book for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7? - Fuzzy May 7, 09:50
My garbage can just yelled at me. I put an empty (fastfood) cup in it, then pressed it down, and it went "Ahh" -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:43 3
- (Or rather, it was like "Ahh" crossed with "Hey") -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:44 2
  - So your garbage can likes Outkast? -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 09:49 1
    - ahh. ahh. hey. hey. - Beryllium May 7, 09:49
RAMIREZ! - Mel Profit May 7, 09:39 3

ST Poll -- What does the American Dream mean to you? -- (link) - znufrii May 7, 09:37 31
- It's the one where I'm naked and I have to take a test that I haven't studied for. -- nm - Dano May 7, 10:01 1
  - hee -- nm - kare May 7, 10:02
- Living life the way I choose and being content within that. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 09:57 1
  - yep, or "wanting what you have". -- nm - CrankYanker May 7, 09:59
- The American Dream seems to have become "to have all the material good you could ever possibly desire" - Justice 97 May 7, 09:55 1
  - There was a time recently when it seemed like the American Dream meant buying a house -- nm - DreadPR May 7, 10:17
- to me, i think the ability to pursue whatever i want without restriction - colin May 7, 09:54
- I immediately think of the phrase "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness " -- nm - DreadPR May 7, 09:53 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Much thanks (nmbJD) - DreadPR May 7, 10:07
- Of course it still exists. That's why people who make less than $100k a year object to high taxes for the top 1% of earners. -- nm - mara May 7, 09:52
- i'd say it's meant as the opportunity to go as far as want. there's no class system in place, and opportunities for those that make tham. -- nm - Andie May 7, 09:49 10
  - [deleted] 6
    - and do you think this is actually true? or is it a cultural myth that has become a way to rationalize being taken advantage of, economically, by those - znufrii May 7, 09:57 5
      - [deleted]
      - of course it's true. people can, and do, because hugely successful (in many ways) from humble beginnings. - Andie May 7, 09:59 3
        
        that could just as easily be explained by luck, than anything particularly endemic to living in America. - znufrii May 7, 10:03 1
        
        i firmly firmly believe that you make your own luck. (well, most of the time.) - Andie May 7, 10:09

  - Interesting. I'll have to give some thought to the Canadian Dream. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 09:52 2
    - Learn french and become a bureaucrat. No more comfortable a life and early a retirement can be had. - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 10:01
    - Andie, is that phrase used up there or does American dream cover it? -- nm - HdnAgnda May 7, 09:58
- my older sibling would say this old pro wrestler - named Dusty Rhodes or Roads? I dunno - but he called himself The American Dream and spoke like a - JenBro May 7, 09:45

- movies and music -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 7, 09:43
- Work hard, don't cut corners and you'll usually be rewarded with the life you desire. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:42 2
  - What if you work hard *and* cut corners? -- nm - Loyola May 7, 09:43 1
    - then you double the reward -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 7, 09:44
- not much. -- nm - mafic May 7, 09:41
- i'd say it exists, but has less to do with money than with having the freedom to do and be what you want. -- nm - kare May 7, 09:40 1
  - (to me) -- nm - kare May 7, 09:41
Can someone show me how to use AdBlock Plus to block those in-line Vibrant ads? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 7, 09:37 1
- Just add *vibrant.com* to your filters. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 7, 09:40
*yawn* Flight delayed. -- nm - Dano May 7, 09:37
Since we're talking baseball...I'd like to go ahead and mention that Yadier Molina is now head and shoulders above any catcher in the NL. - Jim May 7, 09:34 11
- I won't argue that point, except to say - musubi May 7, 09:35 4
  - he has now prevented at least 3 runs this season by simply blocking the plate - Jim May 7, 09:36 3
    - I think you missed my point, which is... - musubi May 7, 09:39 2
      - Hey...speaking of that...check this out... -- (link) - Jim May 7, 09:42 [youtube] 1
        
        I will not click that link. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:42
- [deleted] 1
  - And the eldest Molina has turned himself into an offensive threat - JD May 7, 09:43
- I agree, although Russell Martin is not too far behind him. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:34 3
  - Catching maybe, but hasn't Russell stepped back offensively this season? - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:38 2
    - I don't think Martin is in Molina's class defensively. - musubi May 7, 09:40
    - I thought he was discussing best DEFENSIVE catcher, which Martin is damn good. - groiny May 7, 09:39
NWBR: Are you saying I should excuse him because he helped get us 2 WS rings? - kelly May 7, 09:32 6
- No, not necessarily. I just wouldn't have expected a laugh as your reaction to the news. - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:36 3
  - *sigh* Y'all need to pay better attention. - kelly May 7, 09:38 2
    - ok - I LOVE this explanation - and reminds me of watching The Rookie a week or so on TV - baseball is more than just win/loss ... - JenBro May 7, 09:52
    - Fair 'nuff. Didn't know it - or if I did, forgot it to the sands of time. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:41
- [deleted] 1
  - Maybe you should re-read my previous post - the part where I said "it's inexcusable". - kelly May 7, 09:35
winnipeg lab has completed DNA sequencing of swine flu virus -- (link) - zork May 7, 09:32 2
- I read today that they found it also lacks one gene that most highly virulent flues have. - Mel Profit May 7, 09:35 1
  - and sequencing is good for making a vaccine -- nm - zork May 7, 09:36
Because ST is smarter, sexier, etc. - has anyone ever explored the requirements for being designated "Green" for office workplace? Links appreciated. -- nm - JenBro May 7, 09:31 2
- I thought "carbon neutral" was the buzz phrase du jour of corporate entities embracing the green culture. That's all I know though. - Loyola May 7, 09:37
- I have not, though I would surmise that one of them is having flushless urinals. We have them in our building, almost 3 years now. Took a while to - Don Homer May 7, 09:32
sorry Qale, but I don't have a console to play Halo -- nm - zork May 7, 09:31 1
- I said Hallo not Halo! (the Master Chief wears granny panties nt.) -- nm - Qale May 7, 09:35
has ST talked about the allegations of pitch tipping in blowout games? -- nm - zork May 7, 09:30 21
- From what I understand from Jeff Brantley it's really that Pudge was a jackass and sometimes ARod had to call his pitches for him. - Ender May 7, 09:56
- I don't like A-rod, but I don't believe it is what it is. For it to work effectively, too many other players would be involved. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:39
- It's a load of crap. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:38 8
  - we believe that players are cheating "outside the game" (steroids, etc.) but won't believe they are inside it? as for "too many people" ... - zork May 7, 09:43 7
    - There is a direct, personal benefit to those other cheats. This pitch tipping stuff is soo far fetched and tangential it wouldn't make sense. - musubi May 7, 09:47
    - 1919 was a far different time than nowadays. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:45 5
      - sure but we see atheletes do stupid things everyday plus people who cheat always think they are too smart to get caught. -- nm - zork May 7, 09:52 4
        
        Yeah, but for the majority of the players; they ain't selling out the game's complete integrity when they make - Will Hunting May 7, 09:56
        
        They don't think they're too smart to get caught. The economic benefit is there to cheat, even if they get caught. - musubi May 7, 09:53 2
        
        of course, there is a benefit. they get it in return and get more bonuses and bigger contracts -- nm - zork May 7, 09:55 1
        
        There is no benefit to the rest of the team to look the other way. Contrary, you are directly hurting a teammate's (the pitcher) economic benefit. - musubi May 7, 10:00
- I think it's a bit far-fetched. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 09:33
- It was mentioned but not debated. -- nm - nubby May 7, 09:33
- What's this? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 7, 09:31 7
  - It refers to ARod (supposedly) letting opposing hitters know what pitch was coming - Don Homer May 7, 09:33 6
    - that sounds like a pretty ridiculous scenario -- nm - Guy May 7, 09:37 1
      - The team seemed to have figured it out pretty solidly when it was happening. -- nm - Will Hunting May 7, 09:41
    - OMG, how does anyone still respect this game? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) May 7, 09:35 3
      - How is it different than doping in cycling. Faking injuries in soccer. *Rampant* roids in football? (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:50
      - same way people still eat at mcdonalds: Sheer power of denial. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 09:36

Groiny, Halladay's good, but Bedard's got a 2.35 ERA...his is 3.30...that alone makes this a 3 horse race - Will Hunting May 7, 09:28 12
- does anyone really think Bedard can keep it up? -- nm - Guy May 7, 09:34 4
  - If he's healthy, yes. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:35 3
    - he is NEVER healthy. - groiny May 7, 09:37 2
      - We'll see. They seem to have a pretty solid handle on what was his issue last year. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:40 1
        
        he is a fantastic 140 inning pitcher. - groiny May 7, 09:42
- You need one starter to win for $1,000....Who you got of the two? - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 09:34 1
  - For $1,000 this year...#'s say Bedard. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:36
- [deleted]
- wins? plus he has not gotten hurt yet. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 09:29
- Of course there is still more than 80% of the season left to go. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:29 2
  - Honestly. The gutters of MLB are littered with guys who had fantastic first months and then ended the season quite close to their career norms. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:31 1
    - I remember when Shelton was the next Pujols. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 09:31
I like having Status Updates filter on the newsfeed, but I'd still like to have date headers on profiles instead of it saying recent activity over - Qale May 7, 09:28
I hope pixie knows that Hax is online chatting today instead of tomorrow. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:27 1
- what??!! this is bullshit! what are we going to do?? - Epiphany May 7, 09:30

    - McGwire's been eligible for 3 years and has had his #'s drop. He's appearing ot be the first one. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:33 1
      - [deleted]
  - Oh, if he's suspended, I've no doubt he won't make it first ballot, but he probably should. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:32 5
    - Plus Raffy was a marginal candidate, Manny was shoe-in. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:33 4
      - Raffy was a marginal candidate only for truly dumb voters. 3000 hits. - Will Hunting May 7, 09:34 3
        
        Amazing as it seems, i don't feel like arguing that again. Fact is, for reasons just or no, Raffy was marginal. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:36 2
        
        Then let's take McGwire, who when he retired was as good as in, no? - Will Hunting May 7, 09:38 1
        
        Like I said, I don't know if either gets in. Voters are fickle. But both probably belong. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:41
  - I don't mean what will happen, I only refer to what should happen. (And if Bonds doesn't get in, than the place shouldn't even exist.) -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 09:31
- Yeah, without doing some deeper research, I'd say so. (nm) - musubi May 7, 09:30
- meh. - znufrii May 7, 09:28
Johan's arm health doesn't scare anyone? -- nm - David May 7, 09:24 3
- Of course, but no more than any other pitcher his age. - musubi May 7, 09:26
- I have heard about his arm issues every season for the last 4. - groiny May 7, 09:25
- Ugh. -- nm - Mrs. Santana May 7, 09:25
