YDC: I bought winter boots, finally. I went with the Sorel Caribou in black. Now I need warmer pants. My sweatpants aren't warm or waterproof. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 13:26 15
- I was today-days-old when I learned that the Canadian brand Sorel went bankrupt in 2000 and is now owned by Columbia Sportswear. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 13:51 1
  - Yup and they're made in China now. Baffin too but not all of their models. I've read a lot about boots and Canadian boot companies over the last week. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 13:54
- Get some sweet ass snow pants bro! -- nm - Shaun Jan 16, 13:42 2

    - There are flannel, or fleece lined khaki pants, also, ll bean winter wool pants, dressy, thick heavy as an army blanket -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:46 5
      - I don't want dressy as it's for being out with the dogs. I need warm, flexible and durable. Work pants for construction guys might be a good place -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 16, 13:51 3
        
        Carhardt flannel khaki, don't think they come in black though, also, what I used to do was wear flannel pajamas under my pants, tucked into my socks - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:54 2
        
        I wear my flannel pj's under my pants too! It works well but I need a good pair of winter pants. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 13:57 1

    - #1 is an A+ movie while #2 is an A-. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 13:10 2

- I wish those "many people" who tell him bullshit would STFU -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 16, 13:51
- we need more no $hit news. -- nm* - tRuMaN Jan 16, 12:49
- I hate that phrasing. Aside: Didn't Trump just endorse an editorial about how federal employees are all disloyal to him? - Mop Jan 16, 12:44 1
  - No, they want his wall just not him. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 13:11
This kid weighs 320 lbs and can do a standing backflip -- (link) - decline Jan 16, 12:37 5
- He can also do a cartwheel/roundoff. -- nm - Diva Jan 16, 12:51 3
  - And though you didn't see it in the video, he can both sashay and shantay. -- nm - Baron Squirrelbane Jan 16, 12:57
  - Can he make you feel the earth, move, under your feet? -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 12:52 1
    - only Carol King can do that - peglegpete Jan 16, 12:56

        "What about Mary Bono?" -- nm - MSU Board of Trustees Jan 16, 13:05
      - No doubt. But he's going to die with the thought "Those bitches screwed me!" He doesn't know what he did wrong and there's no redemption. - Mop Jan 16, 12:53
      - a thousand times this. -- nm - Diva Jan 16, 12:50

        But what's my third wish? -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 13:52
  - You need a macro for reposting your posts. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 12:41
Apparently, classic "big box" PC video games are collectible and I've got hundreds. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 12:04 4
- I wish I had still had all of mine. Especially Ultima III & IV -- nm - Jovian Jan 16, 13:42 1
  - I loved farming reagents in Ultima III and IV. -- nm - David Jan 16, 14:06
- "collectible" does not necessarily mean $. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 12:21 1
  - That's true. I think I might have a buyer, but what he's willing to pay would essentially cover shipping. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 12:44

- weird. spooky even -- nm - decline Jan 16, 12:01
7 years for $175m is a crap offer for Machado. Something ain't right. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 11:57 17
- I agree it is low, I am also curious how that number got out. - groiny Jan 16, 12:25 1
  - Most likely. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 12:40
- Maybe people just don't want to play Scott Boras' games? I know if I was a GM, I wouldn't want to deal with that guy. nm - Alexander Hamilton Jan 16, 11:59 8
  - You died before baseball was invented. What do you know? - Krusty Jan 16, 12:39 6
    - And in the face of ignorance and resistance, I wrote financial systems into existence. nm - Alexander Hamilton Jan 16, 12:53 5
      - look, the steroids era, players were putting up numbers at 38,39,40, that just is not realistic anymore. - groiny Jan 16, 12:56 4
        
        And you happily overpay for those last two years if the previous eight got you a ring or three. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:04 3
        
        there are too many bad endings to these stories, where teams were crippled by bad long term deals. - groiny Jan 16, 13:11 2
        
        That's why I say 8 is the best option but if he insists on 10 I'd drop the yearly number so it hurts less at the end. - Krusty Jan 16, 13:28 1
        
        the only one who gets happy with 10 year deals is player / agent. -- nm - groiny Jan 16, 13:33
  - the problem is there is always one team out there that will. - groiny Jan 16, 12:25
- To be fair I think he killed his value with his comments and behavior over the last couple of months of last season. - pmb Jan 16, 11:59 5
  - I don't think so. Lots of guys don't hustle on ever ball. I don't think that's as big an issue with teams as it is with fans. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 12:37 4
    - It is an issue with fans and it becomes an issue when he defends not hustling. Guys on the Cubs who have not run out ground balls over the past year - pmb Jan 16, 12:44 3
      - I don't like it but a lot of guys do it. Cano has done it his whole career and the media got on him and he kept doing it. -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 16, 12:51
      - Manny Machado is more than aware of how much I disapprove of him. - Diva Jan 16, 12:49 1
        
        Yeah, as talented as he is, I don't want him on my team. If I'm the White Sox trying to make the leap, you need that talent boost. But if you think - pmb Jan 16, 12:52

  - Thank you for spoiling Miss Maisel for me. Now I don't have to watch it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 12:19 2
    - You won't believe who Miss Maisel turns out to be! -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 12:46 1
      - spoiler - Spawn Jan 16, 12:51
- I think it will be entertaining, but not amazing. Given how DC has been going, they could do with a bit of entertaining. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 11:42
- money well spent I say! -- nm - Beaker Jan 16, 11:29 1
  - retail value in a collectibles auction: about $10K each. -- nm - peglegpete Jan 16, 11:32

  - incorrect. -- nm - Remlik Jan 16, 12:02 1
    - It seems like WB are trying to go the Spider-Man: Homecoming route? Ctach the kids? Maybe it will catch but even Logan thought it looked dumb. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 12:14
