At the post office, someone had to told they couldn't leave a Fed Ex package -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 18, 13:18 1
- Well, considering they do take UPS it can get confusing. -- nm - Spawn Jun 18, 13:19
At Car Free YYJ on Sunday, the federal Liberals had a tent. They were handing out Justin Trudeau buttons. I declined, but Declan snagged one. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 12:58 2
- (Snagged in the "was handed one" sense, not that he got scraped) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 12:59 1
  - They pinned it to his hand!?! -- nm - Spawn Jun 18, 12:59
500 Neolithic Burriels in Spain -- (link) - peglegpete Jun 18, 12:52 2
- I have an alibi. -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 12:53 1
  - we should do a seance. I suspect one or two of you 500 relatives can help with your ghost story. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 18, 12:55
Interesting EKOS poll, particularly the breakouts - Doug Ford's gonna get Trudeau a second term -- (link) - Reagen Jun 18, 12:48 11
- The economic class breakouts are interesting in a way many Canadians would find themselves surprised at. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 13:17
- Yeah, it's definitely concerning of the Ottawa Tories I know, but expectations are that it'll focus back on Trudeau by time Labour Day gets here. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 12:52 5
  - (BC the new Manitoba) -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 12:55
  - I could definitely see the Greens nabbing a couple seats out here - Reagen Jun 18, 12:54 3
    - I could see PEI for sure with one. Not sure I see enough organization in NS, but they just got a "star" candidate in Newfoundland this afternoon. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 13:15 2
      - They're polling double digits provincially and I could see them pulling from both Liberals and NDP here. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 13:18 1
        
        Yeah, but it still needs to be a highly self-motivated vote. Helps that it skews younger, but there's still decent Liberal and NDP machines in NS. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 13:36
- they were both on stage here yesterday with the Raptors (*not* beside each other). Let's just say Trudeau got a muuuuuuuuuch warmer welcome. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 12:48 2
  - It was warmer (Ford getting Bettman boo'd was an easy call), but it wasn't hero-like either. Very much in line with Tory's. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 12:53
  - "Ford vs Ferrari" -- nm* - budice Jun 18, 12:49
- This is what I'm saying! -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 12:48

  - $5, $10, $20, $50, $100. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 13:15
- 40 known $500 bills. they will sell for over face value in auction to collectors. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 18, 12:50
- "Most people don't even know that Canada ever had a $25 bill."... (raises hand) Who knew? -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 12:48 3
  - I did, as it happens. One of the few to have more than one person on the face. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 12:57 1
    - Reagen's face is on the $25 bill. -- nm - WSS Jun 18, 12:59

      - They'd prefer you did. -- nm* - Ender Jun 18, 12:57 1
        
        Turning in the $1000 bills will get you a bunch of scrutiny since they're known to be traded among the Quebec mafia. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 12:58
    - money back guarantee -- nm - budice Jun 18, 12:49
Bama: Before going on a raid, deputies were told their suspect had an "attack squirrel" that he was feeding meth to "keep it aggressive -- (link*) - budice Jun 18, 12:42 2

So at this point in the 2016 cycle, Trump was polling tied for 8th in the GOP candidates. - Volnelk Jun 18, 12:06 5

I'm trying to concoct the perfect campfire ghost story. Was it pfm who had the daughter with the imaginary friend and the box in the attic? -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 11:44 13
- I'm not finding it: Did pfm ever actually open the box? I feel this is the payoff. Something in the box with the name "Athena" on it. -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 12:37 1
  - OK, found it. Here's the "open the box" reveal. -- (link) - Mop Jun 18, 12:46 [Backboard]
- I just noticed that pfm used to preface his stories with cautions about how we shouldn't believe him. Dude, what if he's been fucking with us? - Mop Jun 18, 12:04
- If ST is slow for anyone, it's because I'm doing some deep searching. Someone needs to compile these stories. Here's what I understand... - Mop Jun 18, 11:57 7
  - wasn't there an incident involving a stuffed animal moving around or some such? -- nm - decline Jun 18, 12:01 6

That's a pretty strong rumor that Cleveland is going to give Atlanta the #5 pick and their first round pick next year if we'll take Kevin Love. - David Jun 18, 11:43 12
- What a message to send to CLE fanbase -- nm - budice Jun 18, 11:56 1
  - He'll send another message in comic sans that explains his rationale. -- nm - David Jun 18, 11:58
- Wait so 2, 1st rounders AND Kevin love? - Flavorize Jun 18, 11:54 1
  - No, they'd remove the protections on a first rounder that we already technically own but will never get. -- nm - David Jun 18, 11:55
- How can they be paying the tax? They have no one. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 11:50 7

      - LeBron as a pseudo-GM got all of these guys signed to multi-year contracts. - David Jun 18, 12:02

Regarding A-List Actors from B2, looking into Cruise and The Rock some thoughts. - MDH Jun 18, 11:28 5
- I might argue Sandra Bullock and Dicaprio can open big, but they haven't been as active in the past decade - MDH Jun 18, 11:33
- The last 3 for The Rock are way before he was super mega huge. I wouldn't even count those ones. - Shaun Jun 18, 11:30 3
  - All 3 were after Fast Five, Journey 2, and GI Joe 2 though. And Hercules was after Fast 6. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 11:35 2
    - iirc, Hercules was billed as his career-killer. - Shaun Jun 18, 11:38 1
      - It was actually proof of what a draw he is. The other Hercules film earned $61 million worldwide. His earned $244 million. - David Jun 18, 11:45
Facebook to introduce its own global currency -- (link) - Beaker Jun 18, 11:25 1

- The fake commercial is silly. Here's the video where she built it. -- (link) - Mop Jun 18, 11:32 [youtube] 5
  - For a 30 minute video, they really gloss over a lot of the finish stuff at the end. -- nm - Ender Jun 18, 12:16 1
    - A few things got glossed over, yes. My guess is that it's done as extra content for Patreon supporters or else there will be a follow up video. - Beryllium Jun 18, 12:18
  - Rich, the guy from Rich Rebuilds, who restored a flooded Tesla (a video previously posted on ST) participated in the conversion. -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 11:42 1
    - And the woman whose project this is is Simone Giertz, the YouTuber with the brain tumor. -- nm - Mop Jun 18, 11:49
  - If by silly you mean awesome. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 11:34
Netflix renews Queer Eye for fourth and fifth seasons -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 11:18 1

JJ Abrams is about to get Paid -- (link) - decline Jun 18, 11:07 1

  - I mean, that describes everyone in the administration. -- nm - pmb Jun 18, 11:29 1
    - I know. I was wondering if it was a tricky question but decided to step in the trap-to-be nevertheless. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 18, 11:32

So it wasnt Shanahan who beat his wife. It was his son who beat his mother with an aluminum baseball bat -- nm* - Jovian Jun 18, 10:43 11
- I did it like this, I did it like that... -- nm - King Shan-rock Jun 18, 11:03
- right (I just read the whole terrible thing on WaPo). He and his wife got into a punching match, but the kid's the one who gave her a whoppin' -- nm - decline Jun 18, 11:03
- Do you ever just show up on ST and feel totally lost? -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jun 18, 10:49 7
  - Not a football Shanahan. :) -- nm - Inigo Jun 18, 11:01 3
    - I was certainly trying to figure out whether Kyle Shanahan had been accused of something horrible. -- nm - David Jun 18, 11:02 2
      - And sorry I thought you were talking about me. -- nm - Jovian Jun 18, 11:11 1
        
        I just showed up and had no idea what you were talking about with the first post. Don't overthink it. - David Jun 18, 11:22
