It is going to be infuriating when Franken resigns and then Moore wins in AL but so be it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:41 2

      - Or, I could just come over to your house and turn on Netflix for you and you could pay me $100 -- nm - con_carne Nov 20, 06:48
      - Correct. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 06:44

You guys were right about Edge of Tomorrow -- nm* - con_carne Nov 20, 06:27
Trump called elephant hunting "a horror show" and appears likely to continue the ban. -- (link) - Krusty Nov 20, 06:26 8
- Wait, Twitter told me to be outraged over the weekend? I'm so confused. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 06:47 2
  - You should have been outraged on your own and the outrage is a big reason that the policy change was halted. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:52
  - Not sure why you are confused? "Following strong bipartisan criticism of the administration’s decision to allow imports of trophy carcasses" -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:48
- But killing other animals for sport? Totally okay (as his son does it regularly). -- (link) - Andie Nov 20, 06:31 4
  - I saw something on Twitter over the weekend where Cher tweeted one of the son's hunting photos a few years ago - ty97 Nov 20, 06:32 3
    - my link above is a bunch of pics of both of them with dead animals. i mean, i'm glad he reversed on the elephants, but, come on. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 06:34 1
      - oh, what his sons does is gross but he actually seems to potentially disagree with them on this front. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:36
    - It's in this WaPo article from yesterday -- (link) - ty97 Nov 20, 06:33
FF: I need Atlanta's kicker to get less than 3 points to win. I am not optimistic. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 06:24 1

- "Why Not Me?" Well....... -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 20, 07:58
- Offs. -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 06:42
- Again, how difficult is it to just not do that. - spamlet Nov 20, 06:40 3
  - Everyday I find myself asking out loud 'Who behaves like this?'. -- nm - Diva Nov 20, 06:41 2
    - This is the tip of the iceberg, I'll say that. There's way of this out there that will never see the light -- nm - MDH Nov 20, 06:43
    - I'm glad I'm not the only one. Not glad we have to keep wondering it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:42
- Dammit. -- nm - Tim Nov 20, 06:25
- He needs to go ahead and resign. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 20, 06:19 7
  - Yup, he's done. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:20 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - Yep. Very disappointing. -- nm - Diva Nov 20, 06:40
      - Yup. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:23
      - Same. I thought he had a chance for the presidency and now he needs to go. So disappointed in him. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:23 2
        
        I don’t think he had any interest beyond being a liberal iconoclast in the Senate, following Paul Wellstone’s legacy. -- nm - Tim Nov 20, 06:25 1
        
        Even if that's the case he was becoming more influential and was a rather strong voice at times. - Krusty Nov 20, 06:28
Good old Daily Mail being sensationalistic (say it ain't so!): "British Airways passengers to board in order of their ticket price" - ty97 Nov 20, 06:13 18
- To be fair the BBC has the same story. But I don't see how it will speed up boarding (if that's the intention) -- nm* - LMS Nov 20, 06:28 15
  - I think it will slow down boarding TBH - ty97 Nov 20, 06:31 14
    - I'd rather board near the end, I hate sitting there for half an hour waiting for everyone else. -- nm - LMS Nov 20, 06:40 13
      - I need my overhead space! - ty97 Nov 20, 06:42
      - That was always my thought but people seem to think there's a chance they could run out of overheard space for bags. - Krusty Nov 20, 06:42 4
        
        In the US, it WILL happen. - ty97 Nov 20, 06:46
        
        Happens all the time these days if the flight is anywhere near full. - znufrii Nov 20, 06:44
        
        Better than a chance. A very good likelihood. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:43 1
        
        Ever since they started charging checked bag fees, yup. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 20, 06:46
      - The people that push to the front of the scrum are also the people with 15 carryons that take all the space. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:41 6
        
        Exactly. And constantly thinking "I have to beat those scumbags to the front of the queue so I can get the small amount of overhead space I need" - Roger More Nov 20, 07:15
        
        I don't fly so I'm ignorant on the issues but isn't there a limit to the number of carry on bags and their size? -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:46 4
        
        I'll add another 'but'. It's within the limit and normal to have a carry-on suitcase + a large hand-held bag + (in winter) a big coat and - Roger More Nov 20, 07:20
        
        Yes but it's completely unenforced by the airlines. - spamlet Nov 20, 06:47 1
        
        It's really the gate agents job to police. I've seen a few do it, but not many. - ty97 Nov 20, 06:50
        
        Yes, but enforcement varies. And even if everyone follows the rules... - ty97 Nov 20, 06:47
- They should do it like bingo and call out seats from balls in a tumbler. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 20, 06:14 1
  - Nowadays, it's just one big scrum. Always hated BA boarding for that reason. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 06:15
My TE threw an INT and I've injured a second kicker. Yep, that's my fantasy year. -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 20, 06:06
The Orange One has gone after Beast Mode -- (link) - Beaker Nov 20, 05:51
Can we just take the AFC's wild cards and give them to the NFC? - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:48 4
- I would include Jacksonville in the actively mediocre AFC list. -- (edited) - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:54 1
  - I'd put the Jags in the frisky category. They do 1 thing really well, borderline historic. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:57
- The Ravens will end up having 6 out of 7 games against backup QBs. They're a somewhat bad team that has a historically easy schedule. -- nm - Inigo Nov 20, 05:53 1
  - Compare that with the Redskins who have put together a ridiculous schedule. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:56
Nathan Peterman just threw another INT...wait make that 2 INTs - Beaker Nov 20, 05:47 3
- That whole being competent thing they had going on ruined their tank plans. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:52 2
  - Hell, in the AFC they are still close to a playoff berth. - Strongbad Nov 20, 06:10
  - and they tried to screw the D earlier by trading Marcell Dareus to Jacksonville -- nm* - Beaker Nov 20, 06:08
LYC: GA Dome was imploded this morning. 4,800 pounds of explosives. Debuted in 1992 as the largest capacity covered stadium in the world. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:30 16
- LYC: Also where Strongbad participated in Super Bowl 34 Pregame and got to see Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera and Tina Turner perform. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:46
- God, what a waste of money and resources. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:38 14
  - This. Huge waste of money. And is the new place even in Atlanta? -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:11 2
    - Yes, Mercedes-Benz was built right next door to the GA Dome. You're think of the Braves stadium which is 10 miles North. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 06:46
    - I was thinking of the Braves stadium. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:18
  - it was 25 years old Will, so outdated as to be laughable -- nm - Beaker Nov 20, 05:46 3
    - “Haha!” People would say as they walked in. “Haha! What a derelict!” -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 05:54 2
      - I'm shocked pegleg hasn't posted yet about ancient burriels being found in the tunnels underneath it was so old -- nm - Beaker Nov 20, 06:06 1
        
        They did marvel their ancestors possessed such advanced building techniques, though lost to the mists of time such as they are - Reagen Nov 20, 06:09
  - seems like a pretty standard stadium. the new one on the other hand seems a touch pricey. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 05:43 1
    - If you're paying hundreds of millions of dollars for a building, it better last more than 25 years. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 05:54
  - 1992 cost was $214M of state tax dollars. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:40 4
    - But how much did Arthur Blank make? That's what's important. -- nm* - spamlet Nov 20, 05:47 3
      - Blank wasn't owner in 1992. For the new stadium? - Strongbad Nov 20, 05:50 2
        
        The change in stadiums really. I'm sure the value of the team skyrocketed. -- nm - spamlet Nov 20, 06:02 1
        
        Oh. Yes, he's made a crapton. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 20, 06:04

      - Maybe the Sharon Tate angle? -- nm - Meg Nov 19, 22:42
    - Ah, all I could find earlier was TMZ and sites quoting TMZ. Still nothing directly from the prison or hospital. -- nm - Meg Nov 19, 21:57

I am in 6th place in Astronauts. If Yahoo predictions hold, the top 4 teams will lose this weekend, and I will win. Could be a three way tie for 1st. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 20:57 2

  - Spawn is trolling David with the lack of point scored tiebreaker. - spamlet Nov 20, 04:25
In the canon for the Punisher and Jack Reacher, are those characters heavy drinkers or do they abstain? -- nm - Max Nov 19, 20:38 3
- The Punisher will drink a beer with his army buddies, but that's about it. He's never out of control. -- nm - Remlik Nov 19, 21:04
