ST Roll Quiz: You know that scroll button to the side of windows you use to drag/scroll a page up and down? What is it called? - con_carne May 21, 08:23 6
- Hints (just to roll the board) The word I'm thinking of is a noun, it's a square thing that goes up and down. -- nm - con_carne May 21, 08:32 2
  - your mom? - mafic May 21, 08:33
  - Not square, but *rectangular* to be more precise -- nm - con_carne May 21, 08:33
- Well, the whole bar is called the scroll bar. What are they calling it? The nub? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 08:30

        Your pitching is much worse than I thought they would be. - groiny May 21, 08:03 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        You're not even close to being a wreck. see: Indians. -- nm - Don Homer May 21, 08:15 1
        
        oddly, they look like the same teams to me. nm -- nm - groiny May 21, 08:17
        
        Maybe you can trade for Carlos Silva back? - groiny May 21, 08:09
- I wonder who they are getting in return. (Please be one of my mediocre AL-only guys...) -- nm - TFox May 21, 07:53 1
  - [deleted]
- [deleted] 8
  - It couldn't possibly be.... - TFox May 21, 07:56
  - God, I hope it's not Quentin. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:55 5
    - they would be crazy to move him. - groiny May 21, 07:56
    - [deleted] 3
      - Tyler Flowers, Jerry Owens, and a couple arms hopefully. -- nm - groiny May 21, 07:57 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Flowers would make sense, as Poreda. - groiny May 21, 07:59
  - Can't trade Beckham yet....draft picks are protected for 1 year after the draft iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 07:54
[deleted] 21
- Seriously? Over that? He should dump you. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 07:54 1
  - [deleted]
- Aw. - con_carne May 21, 07:52 3
  - yeah, nothing out of the ordinary there. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:53 2
    - Sarcasm? :-P -- nm - con_carne May 21, 07:53 1
      - not at all. just what friends say to each other. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:54
- It's pretty awful. - Subversive May 21, 07:51 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Have you told her how frustrated you are? -- nm - amoxy May 21, 08:25
- how old is this dude? -- nm - TFox May 21, 07:51 1
  - [deleted]
- what's POD? 'pit of despair'? -- nm - Roger More May 21, 07:49 9
  - [deleted] 8
    - I'm guessing there's some context here, but I still think 'pretty awful' - Roger More May 21, 07:54 2
      - I think the only appropriate response is "if I wasn't gay, I'd totally do you." -- nm - mafic May 21, 08:12 1
        
        I was thinking "Don't be fooled - all your ex-classmates live sad, empty lives" -- nm - Roger More May 21, 08:17
    - Heh, I did a quick search to make sure, and one site gave me "post-orgasmic disgust" as an answer. -- nm - Jelly May 21, 07:51 4
      - i would start using that if it still applied at this point in my life. -- nm - TFox May 21, 07:52
      - what site was that? donkeypunchdictionary.com? -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 07:52 2
        
        nmb -- (link) - Jelly May 21, 07:52 1
        
        LOL! -- nm - con_carne May 21, 07:56
*wishes a sore shoulder upon Adam Eaton* - Will Hunting May 21, 07:43
Mariano Rivera has now allowed more home runs this season than in any season of his illustrious career. - Will Hunting May 21, 07:40 17
- [deleted] 16
  - Plus they've moved to Coors East. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 07:43 15
    - [deleted] 14
      - I'm not sure what the theory is. That the 1920's were terrible for all the teams without one of the 3 biggest power hitters? - Will Hunting May 21, 07:53 13
        
        The Yankees of the 20's were the Canadiens of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Just way ahead of everyone else in a lot of areas. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:57 9
        
        Exactly. Nowadays, 90% of teams have enough guys who can put up offense in a hurry that no team is going to have an 'advantage' due to the wind tunnl -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 08:01 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        It doesn't. Your theory (which is basically saying Gehrig and Ruth were better than the rest) doesn't hold water 80 years later. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:08
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        What'd I say? -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:59 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Anyone who argues the Yankees of the 1920's wasn't a great power in sports undercuts any concept they have a clue about sports in general. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:03 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Historical Yankees! Try and get me to say something good about the current Yankees, just try! -- nm - Subversive May 21, 08:03
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I don't buy it. Great hitters are great hitters. Visiting teams hit in the same park as the home team, if you know what I mean. -- nm - Subversive May 21, 07:58 1

It's been an hour and a half. This is ridiculous. - kelly May 21, 07:36 19
- You should call the city "just to check" on health code and fire safety ordinances. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 21, 07:55
- Okay, well - good news and bad news. Good news - they're sending us home today. - kelly May 21, 07:41 16
  - If the business is closed, you worked the last day prior to the holiday....tomorrow would be a day off. - Will Hunting May 21, 08:06
  - bummer - lets hope you guys are open tomorrow - I mean really - how long can it take to fix it? -- nm - Epiphany May 21, 07:53 4
    - We need a few people to hurry up and chew enough gum to patch the leak....which given the lack of teeth around here..... - Will Hunting May 21, 07:56 3
      - Frederick was part of a Jeopardy response the other day. I thought of you guys. - Diva May 21, 08:02 2
        
        We have a fort here? Other than Detrick? -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 08:04 1
        
        I gather there was a fort there during the French and Indian War. I could be in the wrong part of the state though. -- nm - Diva May 21, 08:16
  - that's a ridiculous holiday policy, even for a temp agency. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 07:44 3
    - When I temped I never recd Holiday pay. -- nm - Diva May 21, 07:50 1
      - that makes more sense from a policy standpoint, but if you're going to give holiday pay don't jack your employees on it for something like this. -- nm - znufrii May 21, 07:59
    - We used to be the same way. -- nm - Jelly May 21, 07:48
  - Wow, I didn't know temps even paid for holidays. Sucks though you might not get paid. - Redmond May 21, 07:44 2
    - We get holiday pay after working 1200 hrs. -- nm - kelly May 21, 08:32
    - I didn't even notice that. Yeah, as a temp, I don't get paid for Monday even though we're closed. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:53
  - [deleted] 1
    - No you din't!! - Redmond May 21, 07:45
  - ewwww. that sucks. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:43
- "We wish we had a job even without water in the building" -- nm - Unemployed People May 21, 07:38
LYC: I love this ... looks like we have a bigwig visiting work. the SS goons are all over the lawn and two helicopters are on the parade ground. - loosilu May 21, 07:32
This will be, without a doubt, ST's favorite movie of the year. -- (link) - Dano May 21, 07:32 6
- double feature of this and Black Devil Doll -- nm - Jovian May 21, 07:38 2
  - This looks much better than Black Devil Doll. I would actually see this. Even the trailer for Black Devil Doll is longer than the joke. -- nm - Dano May 21, 07:40 1
    - [deleted]
- It's trying a bit too hard. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 07:38 1
  - I think that's kind of the point. -- nm - Dano May 21, 07:41
- WTF -- nm - Jelly May 21, 07:37
Canadian PSA: Someone in Edmonton is $49 million richer this morning....do we know anyone from there? I think we only have Calgary people on ST. -- nm - Walt_Disney in mourning for Mickey Mouse May 21, 07:26 1
- I guess I didn't win. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 07:29
Study calls reusable shopping bags a public health risk....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney in mourning for Mickey Mouse May 21, 07:25 8
- tangent, I used one for the first time last night - znufrii May 21, 07:47
- and, people could just, you know, wash them. -- nm - Andie May 21, 07:26 3
  - though it's always pretty safe to assume people are idiots. -- nm - mafic May 21, 08:20
  - There's a learning curve with any new device - con_carne May 21, 07:42
  - that was my thought. run it through a wash cycle on hot. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:28
- a "plastic industry study", according to my local news station. This, obviously, instantly invalidates the findings. -- nm - Beryllium May 21, 07:26 2
  - Normally I would agree....but it was done in a 3rd party laboratory.... - Walt_Disney in mourning for Mickey Mouse May 21, 07:35 1
    - never ask a question you don't know the answer to already :) -- nm - Roger More May 21, 07:42
I successfully completed my first Dog Whisperer walk with Cooper last night. Harness + rollerblades = One very tired out doggy. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 07:23 2
- You put your dog in rollerblades? -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:25 1
  - You wish! -- nm - Shaun May 21, 07:27
I wanted to pleasure myself to Bikini Girl last night. - Jovian May 21, 07:23 10
- Not sure why she needed a boob job *and* a nose job. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 07:24 9
  - well the boob job was perfect. but yea, I never understood nose jobs, an imperfect nose is a perfect nose. nm - Jovian May 21, 07:25 8
    - *whistles innocently* -- nm - Jennifer Aniston May 21, 07:28 2
      - she has had at least two. She had work done before the one last year. - loosilu May 21, 07:30 1
        
        She's just making what's perfect more perfect. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:32
    - from looking at the goodplasticsurgery.com website, I can kinda see. Little changes to the nose make a big difference in one's overall look. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:27 4
      - I think Ashley Simpson is a great example of a nose job making someone way more attractive. -- nm - Inigo May 21, 07:32 3
        
        Here's a gallery of subtle celebrity nose jobs, written by a plastic surgeon. -- (link) - loosilu May 21, 07:36
        
        Kate Winslet seems to have had one a couple years ago. SJ Parker had a good one. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:33
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean May 21, 07:32

  - They likely have 3 or 4 conversations on-going. Anyone not talking ot the Brewers is stupid - Will Hunting May 21, 07:30 1
    - [deleted]
- Wow. That might be a balance changer in the Central. - Will Hunting May 21, 07:23

speaking of PTO, doesn't it seem like if I get sick from a work trip and have to stay home, I shouldn't have to use PTO? - loosilu May 21, 07:18 7
- Nice try. No -- nm - Redmond May 21, 07:27
- I don't think so - sick is sick - but!... I do think since you traveled so much - they give you a free day to stay home and catch up on sleep - Epiphany May 21, 07:21 1
  - already took one. but the thing came back today. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:25
- Ebola? -- nm - Reagen May 21, 07:21
- Harper Valley PTO? -- nm - nubby May 21, 07:19
- if you got sick from a coworker at your regular office, what would happen? -- nm - Andie May 21, 07:19 1
  - I'd put the smackdown on them! -- nm - loosilu May 21, 07:20
