        them Announcing Karl Urban a few weeks ago when he had another convention the same weekend elsewhere, is annoying. -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 07:53 1

    - oh, my garage is detached. like you care but my dining room was converted from the original garage for the house. - amanda Aug 27, 07:49

- That's gotta be the top result. - Facto Aug 27, 06:46 [Image] 2

  - Like trump has the emotional maturity to even register it as meaningful. -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Aug 27, 06:38 12
    - he doesn't have maturity, but he has the emotional intelligence of a toddler, so i expect he's been throwing hissy fits. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 06:39 11
      - This is something that will get under is thinny thin skin. He will probably tweet shit during the funeral. China Deal Is Close!!! Big News Incoming -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 06:42 10
        
        Close. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 27, 06:48
        
        Only because he knows people will be looking for a reaction. That’s all he cares about, is how he can turn it to advantage his own exposure. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Aug 27, 06:43 8
        
        The thing is? He can't help himself. His anger overrides what he SHOULD do all the time. -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 06:44 7
        
        He doesn’t give two shits about what he should do, only about what he can do to promote himself. Anger doesn’t even enter into it. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Aug 27, 06:48 6

        imma have to fully disagree with this assertion. -- nm - Diva Aug 27, 07:31
        
        Not emotionally driven? I would say he is one of the most emotionally driven people we have ever had as President. -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 07:16 2
        
        I don’t think his pettiness and vindictiveness is an emotional response, it’s just who he is. - znufrii, promoted Aug 27, 07:26 1
        
        That is where I disagree. I think they are all triggered by emotion. - Bacon Aug 27, 07:30
  - i hope it gave McCain a little glee thinking of how that would be received. -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 06:37 6
    - (does Pence go? he has to go, right?) -- nm - Andie Aug 27, 06:37 5

        Let's hope not. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 07:11

  - and this was not supposed to be posted here, heh. Sorry, krusty. -- nm - CQ Aug 27, 06:00
  - Nice! -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 06:00 2
    - in any event, way to get shit done! The sense of accomplishment afterwards is rewarding. My big project for the next few weeks is the garage. Absolute - CQ Aug 27, 06:04 1
      - I've never had a garage so my advice is limited but I would suggest making a pile or boxes of things to sell. From what I've seen people have a lot - Krusty Aug 27, 06:13
Groiny, Decline, Stephen -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 05:47 7
- (when we pick, do we also update yahoo?) -- nm - decline Aug 27, 05:53 6
  - Unless you want my eternal wrath, yes. -- nm - David Aug 27, 06:08 4
    - Once you've hit eternity, there's nowhere else to go. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 06:13
    - no problem (my other league didn't do this and I couldn't remember which was which) -- nm - decline Aug 27, 06:09 2
      - Looks like I can update the BOP board, but not Yahoo from work. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 06:12 1
        
        Then let me know when you've picked, and I'll do it. -- nm - David Aug 27, 06:13

    - There's no clock on day one or the first round IIRC. So get comfortable. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 27, 05:52 5
      - I'm not sure he'll be around, possibly day trip to PEI is mentioned on his wife's facebook. - Will Hunting -- commoner Aug 27, 05:56 2
        
        And well, it’s Walt and he doesn’t respect the rest of us to actually be prepared every year. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 06:00 1

      - That's what I remember. 2 hours for 1st round, 1 hour in all subsequent rounds. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 05:53 1
        
        I don't think we use the clock on day one. At least, that's what I remember. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 27, 05:53
