- And he admits there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq -- (link) - amoxy Jun 2, 09:47
- He's such an evil little flip-flopper. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 2, 09:46 1

- Since doctors are diagnosing people with flu-like symptoms as swine flu without proper testing...I guess it would be an epidemic, wouldn't it? nm - Jim Jun 2, 09:40 3
  - My headhurts... I HAVE SWINE FLU!!! -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:43 1
    - Or it could be all those Appletini's you drank last night at the gay Bar -- nm - amoxy Jun 2, 09:48
  - [deleted]
- Is it cause-effect at all? No more hype = fewer precautions? -- nm - Dano Jun 2, 09:37 7
  - i think people just aren't worred about getting it being as it is so mild. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 09:38 5
    - (sfek) - so they aren't protecting like they were. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 09:39 4
      - this entire country (or at least the part of it I'm in) is panicked. they won't bloody well shut up about it. -- nm - mafic Jun 2, 09:41 2
        
        i honestly don't know - has it officially hit there yet? -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 09:44 1
        
        yes. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 09:46
      - hmmm. Based on the complete hysteria that happened at work, I think people are still worried. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 09:40
  - IMO, maybe a bit, but it's far beyond the point of containment. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 09:38
Current season of House just started here and I have a couple of questions... - LMS Jun 2, 09:33 13
- You could miss the whole season and not miss anything truly entertaining. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:44 2
  - You could miss the whole series and not miss anything truly entertaining. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:45 1
    - Can't argue with that. It's bublegum TV for me. Fun to watch but nothing of substance has happened to really upset the formula. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:48
- Looks like I've got quite some time to wait then. -- nm - LMS Jun 2, 09:42 1
  - It's a pretty good season all the way through, I must admit. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 09:44
- I missed most of the season, but from episode 20 on is pretty important. -- nm - mafic Jun 2, 09:40
- Episode 20 -- nm - Jim Jun 2, 09:36 1
  - 21-24 as well as the beginning of next season all pretty much require Episode 20 to be seen. -- nm - Jim Jun 2, 09:37
- The last 3 or 4 of the season are pretty much can't miss, IMO. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 09:35 2
  - How many episodes were there this season? -- nm - LMS Jun 2, 09:36 1
    - 24 -- nm - Jim Jun 2, 09:38
- The final episode -- nm - amoxy Jun 2, 09:34 1
  - There was one in the middle of the season that is pretty integral to the plot. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:35
Pie may be pyrite, but he was more proven than Reimold at the start of the season. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:32 13
- Also, groiny is a bit outdated in how the O's are run. And moose is right. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:37 4
  - The Orioles will always be able to spend 100mil. There's not a single reason they can't. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:48 1
    - It's not about being cheap, it's about being efficient with resources. - musubi Jun 2, 09:57
  - I know what they are doing. - groiny Jun 2, 09:42 1
    - No, you want to do they best you can to make the team competetive for as long as possible. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:53
- Exactly. Why rush Reimold when there was reason to believe it wasn't needed? (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:34 2
  - there is really no reason for him to be up now either. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:36 1
    - There's no reason he *has* to be up now, but there are reasons he can be. (1) he's better than Pie. (2) they're a year closer to being competetive - musubi Jun 2, 10:03
- IMO, he should have been up last year. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:33 4
  - I could this argument for Wieters. Reimold needed to prove he could stay healthy a full season. -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:38 3
    - Plus, an OPS of .868 in AA doesn't scream "promote him now!" - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:44
    - is it easier to stay healthy at AAA than it is in the show? - groiny Jun 2, 09:41 1
      - That's moot, since he never played AAA until this year. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 10:01
let's test the NSFW button -- (link) - marcel Jun 2, 09:31 6 1
- i clicked it, did anything happen? -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 09:32 5
  - I did too...and I can't see a difference. What's supposed to happen? -- nm - Jim Jun 2, 09:33 4
    - Nothing yet. ST is storing up a backlog of NSFW flags, and when the time comes, I'll test a few different ways of utilizing the data. - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:34 3
      - i assumed it would just flag the post with a warning so people didn't click on it? -- nm - Guy Jun 2, 09:39
      - meanwhile you favourite it and thank me later :-) -- nm - marcel Jun 2, 09:35 1
        
        I was thinking of starting a #TittyTuesday trend on twitter ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:37

  - Yes for all sports. -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:33

I have to say Im more inclined to get a Wii than PS3 for my second console -- nm - eag Jun 2, 09:27 14
- I have a Wii and a PS3. I have not turned the Wii on in almost a year now. -- nm - decline Jun 2, 09:35 1
  - You should just cut the ties and ebay it. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 2, 09:36
- Why would you need a second game console? -- nm - Don Homer Jun 2, 09:30 5
  - Though mainstream gamers won't care, some games just plain work better on one console vs. another -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 09:38
  - My stepdaughter is in that tween demographic that they have been talking about alot - eag Jun 2, 09:37
  - For us, the Wii has some fun party style games that the other consoles can't match. - Subversive Jun 2, 09:34
  - For me, console exclusives. There are a lot of games on the 360, I can't get on the Wii (and vice versa). -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:32 1
    - And for games that are available on both, sometimes they have more content on one platform than another -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 09:33
- Well, let me as you this: Is Sony announcing anything of interest at E3? - con_carne Jun 2, 09:29 1
  - I think they will. -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:36
- for me, it would be a tossup between a PS3 and a BluRay player, since I already have a Wii60 setup going. - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:29 3
  - LYC: After a while, the DVD player on my PS2 just stopped working. - con_carne Jun 2, 09:31 2
    - I never ever ever leave my console on overnight. But that's because it's a 360, and it might not make it until morning :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:33 1
      - Also, it sounds like a friggin jet engine so how could you ever sleep with it on. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 09:53
Pending U.S. home sales increased in April, biggest monthly jump since October 2001. -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 2, 09:27

    - I played with a drunken Lazer last night. - groiny Jun 2, 09:28 2
      - ooo...sorry I missed that. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 09:31 1
        
        I outkilled him in 2 of the 3 games we played. - groiny Jun 2, 09:33
    - *drives around with bery on the gaus gun, killing everyone in site* -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 2, 09:28 2
      - Wouldnt that be David not Bery -- nm - eag Jun 2, 09:28 1
        
        ... I am like unto Death with a gauss cannon. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:29

Musubi, I do not expect them to OUTSPEND the Sox and Yanks - groiny Jun 2, 09:21 1
- That's not what I said. My point is that they have a *good reason* to keep guys like Reimold and Weiters in the minors. - musubi Jun 2, 09:31
[deleted] 1
- Or maybe we could make them learn simple math. -- nm - jnine Jun 2, 09:57
Eag, here is I Claudius on DVD -- (link) - amoxy Jun 2, 09:20 1

    - "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:31 3
      - I know what it means, and I know it doesn't quite fit, but it's pretty much the same situation. -- nm - nubby Jun 2, 09:41 2
        
        A computer that reacts like Jarvis? I call it "freaking awesome", not uncanny. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:59 1
        
        BUT SUPER CREEPY. -- nm - nubby Jun 2, 10:09
  - It's like Charades. Get back to me when there's a Rumble Suit so you can get some feedback other than visual. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:29 2
    - I wanna *feel* the teabagging! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 2, 09:37 1

  - That was my reaction. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 2, 09:27
- "How many push-ups can Chuck Norris do?" - nubby Jun 2, 09:25 2
  - I wanted to hear the answer to that! - Subversive Jun 2, 09:26 1
    - Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups. The earth pushes-down. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 2, 09:27
- yes, but none of it is actually functioning but the painting, the boom blox, and a bit of the interactions with Milo - tRuMaN Jun 2, 09:21 3
  - Yeah, I saw the 'project vision' disclaimer at the beginning. - Subversive Jun 2, 09:23 2
    - sure. but msoft has promised a lot of things for the xbox360, and has not always delivered - tRuMaN Jun 2, 09:26 1
      - Oh, I totally agree. I was just saying it looks cool. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 09:33
- Do you have a link by any chance? -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 09:20 1
  - Haha. Well played. -- (link) - Subversive Jun 2, 09:21
Did they reveal any details about the Super Mario Bros wii? -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 09:19 3
- Yes, go here, and watch some video of it. -- (link) - Inigo Jun 2, 09:20 2
  - Thanks for the link! Is it only streaming or can I go back to certain parts i.e. Mario -- nm - MDH Jun 2, 09:22 1
    - Use the slider and go back about ten minutes. -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:23
Wii Fit Plus - customizable exercise programs, online, etc... -- nm - Inigo Jun 2, 09:19
