- I guess it's not weirder to go to Churchill than, say, Tromsø. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 09:01 1
  - Is Churchill in MB? I've got to go there and see my friends, the polar bears. "Hello Mr. Vanilla" -- nm* - crash davis Oct 23, 09:04
- It's really that lonely? -- nm - decline Oct 23, 08:55
I don't know if this is a new technological feat, but I was amazed by something at the hospital last night. - crash davis Oct 23, 08:51 3
- that's outstanding (and a great choice for viewing during that). I wish I'd have had that option during MRIs -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 08:52 2
  - (and glad that at least something made your lives easier yesterday :)) -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 08:52 1
    - btw, I've decided the three hospitals on this journey relate to a show: Vibra is The Bad Place, LifeCare is Earth, and St. Luke's is The Good Place. -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 08:56
I was coming here to congratulate crash for ruining my perfect season, searched his name and saw the BBs. I am so sorry, my friend. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:28 4
- Thanks, I really appreciate that. Where did I ruin a perfect season? -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 08:32 3
  - PPR. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:33 2
    - ah, I'm not on top of fantasy this year...I see in one league I used Bortles to cover Russell's bye and I can't remember the thought process that lead - crash davis Oct 23, 08:36 1
      - Yeah, last night I saw you had an open slot but my starting Gordon countered that! -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:37
Zeit, I believe I confused you. I initially said I'd buy tickets for the pool but then went ahead and sent you my $10. - Meg Oct 23, 08:24 4
- Strongbad just posted 5 tickets to the FB group -- nm - Strongbad Oct 23, 08:54
- I'm willing to bunk with a group in the suite you book at the Superstravaganza! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 08:36 2
  - Biggest problem will be where and when to suit everyone. We may have to have two or three :) -- nm - Meg Oct 23, 09:00

- did you register the code at Bethesda.net? -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 08:26 6
  - Maybe. Did Amazon send me that code? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 08:36 5
    - you need to check with them -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 08:36 4
      - Evidently I never activated my code. I don't even have a Bethesda.net account. On it now. Thanks for the guidance. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 08:43 3
        
        silly mop -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:44 2
        
        Looks like I gave the code to my son back in June. He's had it all sorted out since then. -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 08:53 1
        
        Even better. Glad he looks out for you. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 09:04

Both Samara and I got an A+ this week, but I got the W. Guess my A+ was plussier than hers. -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 23, 08:09
Apparently, the WWE hasn't even put the tickets on sale for Crown Jewel and Cena's refusal to go is at least strong - Will Hunting Oct 23, 08:07 6
- They are probably on the hook for a shitload of money though. Getting HBK out of retirement had to cost a lot. Undertaker and Lesnar. Plus the - pmb Oct 23, 08:13 5
  - man...I wonder if they've contacted the gov of Abu Dabi...move the show there. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:23 1
    - and hell you can have women on the show there. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:25
  - I thought I saw somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-$18M if they cancel -- nm - decline Oct 23, 08:16 2
    - oh yeah it's at least that high. That will impact the stock price. -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 08:24 1
      - People boycotting the show will equally do so. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 09:00
I have word that a city north of Calgary is collecting opinions about their team name from aboriginal people of the north. - zork Oct 23, 08:03 7
- Edmonton? -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 08:42
- I was sort of surprised it didn't change for this year - Reagen Oct 23, 08:09 5
  - What’s the Cree word for Roughriders? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 08:20 3
    - I believe it translates to "people who moved us onto the reserves" -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 08:24 2
      - Teddy Roosevelt was long past that point! -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 08:28 1
        
        I'm not sure which is less likely, that there were two teams called the Roughriders, or that they were both named for Teddy Roosevelt's cavalry unit - Roger More Oct 23, 08:33
  - Oh, I wasn’t even thinking of that sport. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 08:17
shaun: meet up around 3 for Black Panther? Queen street corner by Strange Adventures? I think that is fairly middle ground :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 08:01 3
- 3 should work. I need to hit the RBC for a withdrawl and then break the $20 somewhere, unless you have a 5 on you. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 08:03 2
  - I do indeed. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 08:05 1
    - Cool. See you then. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 08:06
Roger Stone didn't get to go to prison for Nixon but I think he's gonna get to go for Trump -- (link) - Reagen Oct 23, 07:55 2

Mega Millions poll. How many winning tickets will there be today? My guess 4 -- nm* - Bacon Oct 23, 07:52 8
- None! The insanity will continue! -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 09:00 1
  - Yup. Enough to buy a pro baseball team, so far. It needs to get up to NFL numbers before there is a winner. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 09:05
- 6 -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 08:03
- 3. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 07:55
- as long as one of mine is in there, I don't give a shit. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:54 1
  - Correct. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:59

Destiny 2: got enough to get the Horror Story auto rifle last night. I don't love it. - JaxSean Oct 23, 07:43 5
- I got it last night as well, I'm an auto rifle fan but I like Origin Story better. - J Oct 23, 08:33 1
  - I am running both it and the best AR in the game (Misfit). Not sure why, but all those bullets make me laugh. -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 08:35
- Yeah, the goal of the Horror Story isn't the gun itself. It's the instant power bump for people like us who aren't 590+. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:44 2
  - True. Did Amanda's Festival items for sale change today with the weekly reset? - JaxSean Oct 23, 08:23 1
    - Reset is at 1pm Eastern. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 08:42

- used to have a place that served a "Dinger".... - groiny Oct 23, 07:51 2
  - I'm intrigued -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 08:03
  - I'd go for one of those -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 07:53
- Tangent: The work cafeteria got a new head chef. The "chili with meat" is now much closer to "tomato soup with ground beef" than to anything I'd call "chili". :\ -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 07:49 5
  - (And I'm from the Cincinnati area, so I have a pretty loose definition of "chili" to begin with...) -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 07:59 1
    - I was amused that a defense of it was a significant portion of Anomalisa's run time. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 08:00
  - gross -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 07:53
  - oh man, that sucks -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 07:52
  - *vomits* -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:50
- how's things? -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:42 3
  - just what I posted on the top of b2, I'll hopefully know more a bit later today -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 07:43 2
    - Hopefully you get some good news. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 07:47 1
      - Thanks :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 07:52

- Dodgers in 6 -- nm - eag Oct 23, 07:48
- Red Sox in ... 6? - Will Hunting Oct 23, 07:43 2
  - Dodgers had their hands full with the Brewers, and the Red Sox are way better than the Brewers. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:49 1
    - But again, it's baseball so who the hell knows for sure - Will Hunting Oct 23, 08:08
- For funsies, Dodgers in 4. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:36 3
  - wanna bet on that? -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:37 2
    - LOL, f**k no. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:37 1
      - damn, I need new shoes. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:38
- Boston, 6 games. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:32

LIR - rewatching scary movies too - last night: The Lost Boys -- nm - Epiphany Oct 23, 07:17 16
- We are watching Haunting of Hill House. It's pretty good! -- nm - Andie Oct 23, 08:02
- my son (10) has been wanting to see Halloween, and Friday the 13th. I told him he can watch them when they are on AMC this week. - groiny Oct 23, 07:31 10
  - A group of us watched the original Halloween on Saturday night. I hadn't seen it in 20+ years. It's amazing how tame the violence is. Also, not big - pmb Oct 23, 07:50 1
    - granted it is a classic, and you have to watch it knowing that is was really ahead of it's time. - groiny Oct 23, 07:55
  - We watched Halloween last week. I know it's a slow burn, but it seemed extra slow this time. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:42 7
    - I had this problem after seeing the Zombie version of Halloween. - groiny Oct 23, 07:47 5
      - I wouldn't mind watching that one again. But there's Spider-Man DLC, Destiny 2, The Haunting of Hill House, and Daredevil on my plate already. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 08:02 4
        
        yeah, I only watched episode 1 of DD, so I am behind as well -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 08:05 3
        
        Our next THoHH is episode 8 so that's still 3 hours of content. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 08:07
        
        ahh, watch my spoilers on B2 then :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 08:06 1
        
        I did, thanks -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 08:16
    - or, you're just old and jaded now -- nm - decline Oct 23, 07:45
- "Death by stereo" -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 07:17 3

    - I still listen to that soundtrack -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:33
LEGO post is NSFW? Weird. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:12 5
- Dude, you can make ANYTHING with those bricks... -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 07:34 1
  - and you think it hurts when you STEP on one? -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 07:34
- we don't want to see your leaking legos, Shaun -- nm - decline Oct 23, 07:19
- it's NSFW for mentioning Overwatch. -- nm - colin Oct 23, 07:13 1
  - I mean, there was already porn of it before it was officially released. -- nm - Tim Oct 23, 07:17
ST Election Poll: Who wins the House? Who wins the Senate? By how much? -- (edited) - Inigo Oct 23, 07:11 9
- [deleted] 1
  - Putin wins by write-in landslide. Turns out he was born in Odessa. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 09:36
- Dems take the house (but by a smaller margin than is being predicted). Senate stays firmly in GOP hands -- nm - decline Oct 23, 07:22 5
  - I lean this way. I'm actually getting nervous. Trump is firing up his base (creating new conspiracies, etc. to get them going) and there are reports - pmb Oct 23, 07:28 4
    - [deleted]
    - Otoh, markets are shitting the bed this week. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 07:49 2
      - Yeah, but his base is probably not following the markets. He'll tell them it's great and that's enough. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 07:51 1
        
        I mean, he tells them whatever and it’s good enough. Post-truth society. -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 08:03
- Dems take the house by a good margin. Senate stays in GOP hands by a tiny margin as predicted. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 07:15

New board. -- nm - Shaun Oct 23, 07:02 4
- We'll offer you a $5/mo discount if you stay with B2 -- nm - prayformojo Oct 23, 07:04
