    - Hey, pessimist! I got three right, not two wrong! -- nm - David Aug 27, 18:03
  - I know Venus has surprisingly few weeks at #1. -- nm - Dano Aug 27, 17:56 2
    - Is that right? Is that because she skipped so many of the lesser tourneys? -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:56 1
      - Also Serena surpassed her pretty quickly. -- nm - Dano Aug 27, 17:59
  - (Evert is my sixth guess/last cut.) -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:54

      - Some Kardashian. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 27, 18:02

Pete Alonso now holds the Mets team record for home runs in a season. It's August 27th. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 17:19 6
- *nods* its gonna take a miracle for him to not best Judge's record for a rookie - Jovian Aug 27, 17:22 5
  - I think he's on pace to tie or fall one short. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 17:32 3
    - (of Mike Soroka for RoY) -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:34 2
      - It's cute that you also think he's ahead of Tatis Jr. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 17:42 1
        
        In a vote based on merit, he should be. Second in baseball in ERA should matter. - David Aug 27, 17:53
  - He’s just now on pace to tie the record. It ain’t like he’s at 47 with a month to go. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 27, 17:27
The sandwiches are shaking. M6.8, Sandwich Islands. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:13 1
- WE SAID WE ARE OUT OF CHICKEN!! -- nm - Popeye's Aug 27, 17:27
Midsummer getting a very limited rerelease this weekend. A 2:51 long Directors cut. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 17:06 1
- Since I missed it earlier in the summer, I checked to see if my local theater would it be showing it. They are 🙂 once a day at 1025 PM 😐 - JD Aug 27, 17:30
In addition to my years-long boat search, I have a years-long house search ... here's today's match of interest. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:03 3
- Nice house. Don't you need dedicated room for a home office? -- nm - Meg Aug 27, 17:51 1
  - Yes, I do. Fair point. It does mention a "man cave" in the garage, I could probably convert that. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 28, 00:05
- that's really nice. In Vancouver, it would cost 3-4 times that I think -- nm - mud Aug 27, 17:09
I don't even remember why it's called the Streisand Effect, but I think we need to officially rename it the Stephens Effect. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:53 5
- Because Babs tried to get something taken off the internet and it did not go well. This new effect is slightly different. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 16:58 4
  - (aerial photo of her house used to document coastline erosion) -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 16:59 3
    - What are the odds it was the same section of coastline that collapsed earlier this month and killed those folks? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:02 2
      - it wasn't. that was encinitas, her house in malibu ~2.5 hours away. -- nm - b. Aug 27, 17:09 1
        
        "You're off the hook this time, Babs." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:18
Remember my cancelled flight from earlier? The rebooked one was supposed to take off 10 mins ago. Maintenance issues. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 16:38 6
- So you are saying you have time to stand in the Popeye's Chicken line? -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:39 5
  - Ha! I’m just a bit done with traveling right now. So many delays recently and wasted time. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 16:41 4
    - It's always amazing to me how fun travelling appears to be for people that don't have to do it for work - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 27, 16:44 1
      - I enjoy it usually. I go in spurts of lots of travel then none. This summer has just been delay central. But 65 nights in hotels this year is a lot. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 16:48
    - Bacon is my good luck charm. Boarding!! Knock on wood we take off. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 16:44 1
      - I was rooting for you to be delayed, you are welcome -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:45
Bret, Bret, Bret... -- (link) - Reagen Aug 27, 16:38 11
- Well, someone is going to get fired out of all this. -- nm - David Aug 27, 16:49 6
  - yea, it should begin and end with Bret Stephens -- (edited) - Jovian Aug 27, 17:18 5
    - I've never heard of him before this. So...no such thing as bad press? -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:19 4
      - As I recall, there was a bit of an outcry when he was hired by NYT. But that might have been someone else. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:20 3
        
        Less outcry and more "Ugh, this fucking guy?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 17:23 2
        
        Well, those people can come in for a gloat. -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:24
        
        Ah, more of an outgroan. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 17:24
- It was an incredibly obscure tweet at the time that he would have had to name search himself to even find. That just says it all right there. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:41 2
  - I think he said a friend sent it to him - we'd like to see that. (or not, I'd be ok with him being gone gone gone to some crappy book writing life.) -- nm - b. Aug 27, 16:43 1
    - Riiight. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 27, 17:43
- I’m still confused why anyone would take him up his offer to come to his home. It’s infested with bedbugs. Hell no, I wouldn’t go. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 16:40
All right, I'll say it - Reagen Aug 27, 16:29
Go Coco Gauff -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 16:28 2
- She, Coco Crisp and Charleston Hughes should form a crime fighting team. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 27, 16:30 1
  - . -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Aug 27, 16:30
sitwap, this made me have to stifle a snork. bernie sanders getting bopped. nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 27, 16:23 2
- He took that well, and he moves better than I'd expect. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 16:27 1
  - he did take it well. :) - -- nm - b. Aug 27, 16:30
PSA: ML Memorial League draft in 1 hour 18 min. -- nm* - Strongbad Aug 27, 16:12 4
- Oh, right. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 27, 16:23
- Frack -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 16:20
- I have missed that the last two years and if you autodraft there, there is no chance to win. - Bacon Aug 27, 16:13 1
  - Pretty much yes. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 16:14
Sept 4. 7-hour Climate Crisis town hall on CNN. -- (link) - Strongbad Aug 27, 16:09 1
- so dumb. how does that serve the super important topic well? I get that a debate wouldn't have that much debating, because there's a lot of agreement; - b. Aug 27, 16:32
Since the Vampirates are still drafting, could we redo the last four rounds in the Astronauts draft? I sent the wrong draft card this morning ... . - ReluctantCynic Aug 27, 16:06 4
- We're not really drafting anymore. NWBR can take his kicker for the last pick, but we're past the window now, so whatevs. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 27, 16:41 2
  - Yep. We're done. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 27, 17:05 1
    - I thank you and my OCD thanks you. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 27, 17:21
- :-D -- nm - mud Aug 27, 16:16
Stephen, groiny, ZNU for 2 - cavemen are flying!! -- nm* - Beaker Aug 27, 15:58
Popeyes has announced they are sold out nationwide of the chicken sandwich. Rumor is they do t have supply and earliest in stock date is October. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 15:55 36
- Popeyes chicken is the stinkiest chicken. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 16:38
- And Taco Bell is back to no Nacho Fries. - Spawn Aug 27, 16:22
- Don't they also sell popcorn shrimp? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 16:12
- Related, I’m at the Atlanta airport. I just walked by Popeyes to see if there was a line. 43 people (I counted) in line and no sandwiches. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 16:07 3
  - I'm sorry. - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 27, 16:59 2
    - worst place on the planet -- nm - David Aug 27, 17:29
    - I'm circumventing it tomorrow by going through Charlotte instead. - Dark Callisto Aug 27, 17:26
- What does Popeyes normally sell? - Will Hunting Aug 27, 16:03 23
  - (Spice. Pure, unrefined spice!) -- nm - Paul Atreides Aug 27, 16:11
  - I think it's the bun that's the limiting agent. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 16:08 9
    - both the bun (brioche) and the kind of chicken prep (I don't want to say it, but think a big boo-dee-chay-favored body part) itself are new for them. - b. Aug 27, 16:21 5
      - Popeye's has chicken sandwiches here in Canada - did they really not have them before in the US? -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 16:22 4
        
        I read they've had some outside the u.s. here, they've only had a "chicken po' boy" which was made with tenders. -- nm - b. Aug 27, 16:25 1
        
        Yup, and that’s been removed from the menu here. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:26
        
        Nope. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:24
        
        Proof! -- (link) - Roger More Aug 27, 16:23
    - What’s the bun? Seriously? Does this sandwich have beer-flavored nipples? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 16:15 1
      - They were pretty damn great. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:23
    - Nah, they have tenders but their bread and butter is the bone in chicken. This is the first time they’ve ever offered a breast fillet on a bun. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 16:15
  - Their fried chicken is the best there is. No contest -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:05 11
    - Bojangles is a close 2nd. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 27, 16:14
    - Word. - ReluctantCynic Aug 27, 16:08 9
      - Jollibee is crazy. The one time I went, it was mid-afternoon and I still had to queue for 1/2 an hour - Roger More Aug 27, 16:25 4
        
        (Also, their chicken is better than Popeye's - at least here. Totally worth the wait and the hour-long trip I took to get there) -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 16:26 3
        
        it must really vary - OTT and I had it at a location nearish to us last year, and it was just not good at all. popeye's and KFC are much better. - b. Aug 27, 16:29 2
        
        Obviously everything’s better in Canada! -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 17:20 1
        
        "I'll have what you're having!" (note: my agreement may have been enhanced by my having seen a justin trudeau jogging in france clip earlier.) -- nm - b. Aug 27, 17:38
      - Never tried Jollibee, we have those here in PDX? -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:12 3
        
        Just looked closest to us is Seattle and Sacramento -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:28 2
        
        Haven't been to either one of those, but to a few in LA. And in Portland, the closest equivalent is Tambayan on SE Foster Road. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 27, 16:45 1
        
        What about Fryer Tuck's Chicken? Been there, that's pretty good -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 16:50
- how do you run out of chicken?! -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 15:56 4
  - Remember those ICE raids on chicken processing plants? -- nm - . Aug 27, 16:19
  - In Soviet Russia you run out of chicken. In America the chicken runs out on you. -- nm - Max Aug 27, 16:01
  - Free publicity, come to Butthead -- nm - Chick Fil-A si Aug 27, 16:00
  - We have to close every Sunday because we are out of chicken -- nm - Chik Fila Aug 27, 16:00
stephen now up -- nm* - Beaker Aug 27, 15:49 1
- done -- nm - decline Aug 27, 15:52
