    - Yep, I guess they don't have to be concerned about fuel usage :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 17, 22:34 1
      - He's going to wear those planes out, I think he's flown more in the last year than their entire usage since put into service -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 23:08

- Back in the Stone Age, Bob Barker would give away arcade machines on the Price is Right and I thought that was the most amazing and impossible thing. - Mop Nov 17, 21:41
- very cool -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 20:08 2
  - ya its sick, ive checked it out on youtube, it is quite well put together. - Jovian Nov 17, 20:35 1
    - Yeah, that is pretty cool... ::reads IM:: *TWITCH* -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 23:38
Dammit! -- (link) - Flavorize Nov 17, 18:46 25

  - It is the reason the diamonds are curved! -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 23:58

- when did you first notice MOM in the Wendy's logo? -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 17, 18:53
- today years old (and I'd argue I've played more cards than 95% of the population ) -- nm* - Beaker Nov 17, 18:49 6
  - Wait, seriously? -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 18:53 5
    - I'm more interested in winning than what is on the card... -- nm - Beaker Nov 17, 18:53 4
      - I always laugh at the Phil Helmouth disciples who would get PISSED at me playing Hold 'em - Beaker Nov 17, 19:00 2
        
        Yeah, and don't play the cards. Play the players. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 19:01 1
        
        yup, I'll hang around for cheap every time; I get bored easily and would play every hand if I had the chance -- nm* - Beaker Nov 17, 19:04
      - ~He deals the cards to find the answer, the sacred geometry of chance. The hidden law of a probable outcome, the numbers lead a dance.~ -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 18:55
- And... -- (link) - Flavorize Nov 17, 18:48 12
  - Okay, I will agree. But I have no idea what that product it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 18:54 11
    - You don't know what Toblerone is? (Do you ever eat chocolate with crunchy bits in it?) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:00 10
      - Does Toblerone exists outside of hotel minibars, airport duty free shops, and the Christmas candy gift section? -- nm - ty97 Nov 17, 20:30 3
        
        I think you are right. Airports are the one place I have seen it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 23:56
        
        Yes -- nm - . Nov 17, 23:15
        
        In small quantities, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 20:33
      - I just googled them. Want to say I have never seen them but *could* be wrong. I can say I have never touched one. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 19:04 2
        
        They're very popular here, and in airports where they can be found in sizes up to 3 feet long. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:07 1
        
        Also they get special variations around the holidays -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:13
      - Like Nestle Crunch and Kit Kat? -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 19:02 2
        
        Yes, but a tiny bit chewier and a higher amount of chocolate compared to crunchy bits -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:05 1
        
        And more delicious! (NM) - Marlowe Nov 17, 20:07

      - lol -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 23:55

- Time to make a new rug. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 18:20
So, odd question, but ... why does Nashville have a Parthenon? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 17:21 10
- like the Elgin Marbles, the Greeks cannot be trusted with their heritage. We took the original one night, and replaced it with a copy. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 18:50
- Tennessee's Centennial Exposition 1897 -- nm - . Nov 17, 17:33
- look at all the towns named for ancient greek cities and temples, a lot in Georgia and all up down the east coast -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 17:29
- It was built before 1900. Why did people do *anything* back then? -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 17:23 6
  - Because they didn't have porn, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 17:39 5
    - oh, sure they did. porn is age old. -- (pic) - mud Nov 17, 17:50 [Attachment] 4
      - See Moche erotic ceramics :) -- nm - Meg Nov 17, 17:54 3

        The only presentation we've had where we had to warn the lecture contained adult subjects :) -- nm - Meg Nov 17, 18:05 1

Johnny Wrestling is the MVP of NXT this year. -- nm - Tim Nov 17, 16:56
Furman has defeated two of last year's Final Four. -- nm - Tim Nov 17, 16:41 5
- Is their RPI in negative numbers? -- nm - David Nov 17, 16:45 4
  - I actually just laughed at how ridiculous RPI is early on because of the small sample sizes. KenPom has them at 139 (they just beat Villanova, #13) -- (link) - Tim Nov 17, 16:51 3
    - I see them at 10 right now unless I'm reading it wrong. Break up Furman! - Krusty Nov 17, 16:57 2
      - I linked the RPI site which is wacky as hell and swings wildly early on. I think David prefers KenPom. -- nm - Tim Nov 17, 17:05 1
        
        Yup, I swear by KenPom. -- nm - David Nov 17, 17:07
Ready Player One book A+ ; RP1 movie C+ -- nm* - Beaker Nov 17, 16:26 1
- I concur -- nm - Epiphany Nov 17, 20:41
Hey, it's the 17th - where are our Kiva payments?!? - Meg Nov 17, 16:21
Sour Patch Kids... Cereal? -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 16:15 5
- Sure. Why not? -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 16:35 3
  - Because it's like Gummy Worm Cereal. IT IS THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE. -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 17, 17:22 2
    - Kids man. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 17:49 1

- Because it's Michael Moore I had to check if Trump actually said that. He did. Because Finland does it. -- nm - Covington Nov 17, 14:58
LIR I haven't seen the "sore loser" angle on Abrams at all. What outlets besides Fox News will be painting her that way? - con_carne Nov 17, 14:32 8
- I think this is to try and put them on notice for 2020 that they will be watched and challenged. -- nm - jnine Nov 17, 22:39
- It happens to anyone who sticks to the recounts and all. In 1994, in Maryland, a Republican lost by like 6k votes. She raised holy hell - Will Hunting Nov 17, 15:16 5
  - To be honest, the moment she recognized she has not further recourse but would still not concede, she lost a bit of my respect. - Marlowe Nov 17, 15:56 4
    - Normally. Maybe. But against Kemp and the insane tactics used this time? No chance. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 16:36
    - She would still have sued if she won. And I believe there is some actual legalities involved with conceding that may let the other side off the hook. -- nm - . Nov 17, 16:04 2
      - I'll concede that I don't quite understand the legalities of conceding. I don't see how binding it is, since so many retracted. - Marlowe Nov 17, 17:11 1
        
        I don't know either, just that it's a factor. -- nm - . Nov 17, 17:34
- All conservative media is painting Florida and Georgia politicians as sore losers trying to steal elections. - David Nov 17, 14:57
BBC World News has a 50 minute documentary on the artist Christo starting now and again in 6 hours. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 14:12 4
- He makes a weird sandwich. How the hell do you put powdered sugar on a sandwich? -- nm - Bacon Nov 17, 20:03
- *adds to viewing list* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 15:33 2
  - check their listings between Friday midnight & noon Saturday. BBCWN always has 2 or 3 documentaries airing. second running is in the next 12 hours. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 16:49 1
    - *wraps you in a bedsheet, charges you $50,000, you're welcome -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 17:33
The MST3K Turkey Day Marathon 30th Anniversary Edition is tomorrow! (Season 12 debuts Thanksgiving on Netflix) - Qale Nov 17, 13:55
That's a rarity. Safety followed immediately by a KO return TD and a 2-point conversion. 10 point swing. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 17, 13:07
Hell of a game. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 13:07
woo hoo, we're going to get 'safe forests' its happening as we speak...very safe forests -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 12:45 5
- really big condoms to protect giant redwoods? -- nm - peglegpete Nov 17, 16:51 1
  - we'll just shave the bush -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 17:33
- Thank you, next? -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 13:47
- Isn't this part of The Village's plot? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 13:09
- bout time. -- nm - colin Nov 17, 13:07
Davis (UMD's #2) is essentially singlehandedly responsible for all of OSU's points -- nm - MDH Nov 17, 12:45
Beto election: how credible were the complaints that the voting machines were flipping votes? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 12:40 4
- It was just slow processing equipment and voters that were too quick for it. I doubt there were any that were not fixed. -- (link) - GregW Nov 17, 16:27
- Credible in terms of "user error," but not credible in terms of hacked software or external manipulation. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 15:37
- There must be a way to make the US elections be more efficient and beyond all these doubts.. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 17, 12:50 1
  - The United Nations has a program for this. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 12:58
That Maryland drive was one big karmic kick to OSU's jimmies -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 12:32
Ohio State is ranked in the top 10 based on reputation. In reality, they're not top 25. -- nm - David Nov 17, 12:24
hey Morganna, the Kissing Bandit, you're on deck -- nm - Ohio State-Maryland Nov 17, 12:23 1
- Well not Morganna but there's that MD TD🤪 -- nm - JD Nov 17, 12:33

- It probably is. -- nm - . Nov 17, 12:28
- Mobil home community in Cali. He is looking for his base. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 12:26 10
  - Don't say Cali. Just shows you to be a poser -- nm - amoxy Nov 17, 12:40 1
    - Yeah, the only person I hear saying it is Guy Fieri, and it grates every time. -- nm - Meg Nov 17, 12:49
  - that's a pretty rude thing to say. -- nm - colin Nov 17, 12:36 7
    - I just meant he *hates* California, and his voters tended to be lower income. Stands to reason he would have better odds in a mobile home community. -- nm - Spawn Nov 17, 14:22 1
      - They were saying how popular he was in Paradise because he won there by 3 points over Hillary. That is solid R territory, that is not a good showing. -- nm - jnine Nov 17, 22:41
    - the fucktard that Putin put in the Oval Office is literally the worst person on the planet. Nothing is too rude. -- nm - mud Nov 17, 12:50 4
      - that's a blanket judgement of someone because of what they live in. stereotypes are harmful and need to stop. - colin Nov 17, 12:58 3
        
        I stand corrected. -- nm - mud Nov 17, 13:13
        
        to add to this.. - colin Nov 17, 13:03 1
        
        I can see forgiving former conman voters even if their motives were suspect (I knew he was a fvck up and thought it would be entertaining) or worse - zeitgeist Nov 17, 13:21
