- They’re getting demolished by #1 as I figured. -- nm - Tim Dec 9, 13:24
The Dixie Flatline -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:57
Bb, extra small prevalence is probably due to regular sizes finding customers locally, I'm a fan of North beach leather, 100 listing for XS, 36 ETC - zeitgeist Dec 9, 12:29
Is the Donald there? Traditionally he sits on one side for half the game, changes to the other at half time -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 12:17
That intro for the Army-Navy game was amaaaaaazing. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 12:09 5
- Doesn't the President usually go to the game? -- nm - Amoxy Dec 9, 12:32 4
  - "Do we care? Are we... caring about this?" -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 12:35 3
    - Don't really care, just curious. I couldn't remember if the President goes every year or not -- nm - Amoxy Dec 9, 12:38 2
      - Mom says yes, see above...I'll bet 45 is golfing in Mara Lago -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 12:43
      - Not all the time. Pretty sporadic -- (link*) - Amoxy Dec 9, 12:42
Was looking for what bowl game NU made it into and came up with this.. -- (link) - . Dec 9, 12:07 2

Starlin Castro, low-A righthander Jorge Guzman (NY's #9 prospect) and Jose Devers (not in NY's top 30), plus $30M in cash for Stanton - Beaker Dec 9, 11:54 11
- Why? They're basically giving the Marlins a real player, and 2 lottery tickets and paying $250mil for the opportunity. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 11:59 9
  - So that you can have a lineup with the AL and NL home run champ in it. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 12:10
  - As it is, people routinely overestimate how good Stanton is. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:04 1
    - [deleted]
  - It's like 30% of what someone should get for an MVP, but Stanton's contract adds complexity. - David Dec 9, 12:01 5
    - And they gave him a no-trade clause with an opt-out included. I truly question how Jeffrey Loria ever got rich. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 12:05 1
      - I'm starting to think that the key isn't business acumen but simply willingness to perform treachery. -- nm - David Dec 9, 12:08
    - Miami had no leverage. The teams he wants to play for don't need him so don't need to offer much beyond taking on his salary. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 12:04 2
      - Even so, I don't think Beaker (and presumably Deadspin and/or The Ringer) are wrong here. It's a BS trade. - David Dec 9, 12:09 1
        
        heh, I just threw that in to get people going :) -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 12:29

"President Donald Trump's approval rating sits at 32%, according to a new poll released by the Pew Research Center, matching the lowest level..." - David Dec 9, 11:33 6
- So, this means that slightly less than one in three Americans think he's a good guy. And will continue to think that. -- nm - . Dec 9, 12:03 2
  - It's job approval, not approval as a human being. It's puzzling that STers keep suggesting this. - con_carne Dec 9, 13:34
  - I think the theoretical minimum is somewhere between one quarter and one fifth. But he’d have to eat babies and be subservient to Kim Jong to get that -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 12:53
- They told me I was probably going to be the worst rated president in history. I told them probably wasn't good enough. -- nm - Trump Dec 9, 11:37 1
  - Hoo-Ray!!! -- nm - deplorables Dec 9, 11:57
- [snork] -- nm - mud Dec 9, 11:34

  - Right? I heard it on channel 38 on XM. -- nm - David Dec 9, 11:39 3
    - I will say this, when Rush does the song live it is a bit more like that. Tends to be my favorite part of the show. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 11:45 2
      - right? and they only need 1 guitar player -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 11:50 1
        
        and they don't sound like four replicants accompanied by a computer. -- nm - mud Dec 9, 11:53

If you are in LA, FOX is looking for people to pretend to be Rams fans...you also get free tickets to the game -- (link*) - Beaker Dec 9, 11:09 2

There's somethin unnatural about a 12 year old playing the blues like this. What the hell does a 12 year old got to be playing the blues about? -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 9, 11:01 10
- That would depend on the brattiness of his brother and the state of his cupcake supply. -- nm - BW-8 Dec 9, 12:51
- He should at least hit his teens first. -- nm - . Dec 9, 12:04
- I watched this twice and may do it again. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 11:28
- Derek Trucks was better at that age -- nm - peglegpete Dec 9, 11:15 1
  - Johnny Lang was pretty good too -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 11:20
- Judging by the size of his paws, he's going to grow up to be a big dog. -- nm - Max Dec 9, 11:13
- You can't get enough mileage living at home with your Momma' wiping your butt. -- nm - Willie Brown Dec 9, 11:12
- heck how about the kids who play heavy metal? -- (link) - Remlik Dec 9, 11:03 [youtube] 2
  - The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad, thinkin' 'bout the woman he once was with. -- nm - Willie Brown Dec 9, 11:15 1
    - The blues ain't about making yourself feel good it's about making everybody else feel worse -- nm - Bleeding Gums Murphy Dec 9, 11:21
that was a lot of Stranger Things Funkos we picked up today. Now pretty much just need the Demogorgon and the 2 Dustins (regular and Ghostbuster) -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 10:45 4
- Where did you get them? -- nm - Walt_Disney Dec 9, 10:58 3
  - Lucas is at Sout-side Walmart, Brenner/Barb is at Northside one (didn't get either of them though); their teacher friend is at EB Games, -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 11:06 2
    - the record store in the Mall has a bunch (2 for $25) and ordered 3 from Amazon just now (Will, Hopper and Nancy) and have had a bunch already -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 11:07 1
      - and Gamezilla has a bunch (but expensive at $15 each, just got the Mike Ghostbusters one there); Dustin is sold out all through town - Beaker Dec 9, 11:08

        (Look at Pippy's spelling.) -- nm - David Dec 9, 12:57
Go Navy! Beat Army! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 10:23 18
- Unlikely but what would have been the contingency if either Army and/or Navy were in the running for a playoff spot? -- nm - Dano Dec 9, 11:40 3
  - I'd assume they just play anyway, as it's a regular season game....they'd just have one less week to prep before the semifinal -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 11:48 2
    - I wonder if the selection show would have to be pushed off a week? -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 11:49 1
      - aha. that would make it more complicated -- nm - prayformojo Dec 9, 12:20
- Go Army. Win just one time this century -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 11:04 11

    - Sidenote: the military is the next place where the #metoo story breaks. - David Dec 9, 11:29 3
      - I wonder. Their systems seem designed to protect against it, allowing them to handle 'privately' and 'in house' - ty97 Dec 9, 11:31 2
        
        10 years ago my next door nabe, full master sarge, busted down to private, wife left -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 12:15
        
        Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be finite. The resurfacing of previous allegations is a good sign, though. - David Dec 9, 11:39
    - I can't remember a win recently. But it's possible. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 11:28 5

Hmm. A small boat, in my city, with a type of motor I like, for a price I can sort of afford (allowing for maintenance and such, I mean). Tempting. -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 9, 10:19

- But arnt Malls pretty much a wasteland at this point even in December -- nm - eag Dec 9, 10:22
- Me too. Although I might be able to get by just walking to canadian tire. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 10:20
