In terms of flame war topics, quality of mail delivery is pretty lousy. -- nm - David Nov 3, 11:42 30

      - Don't tread on my Fruity Pebbles? -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 11:47
    - People who don't like Captain Crunch because it hurts their tongue are too wimpy for cereal in the first place. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 11:45 7

        I wonder if wikipedia's cheesecake entry has revision wars? -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:59

        hey, it takes two (or more) to tango. I can't fight with myself. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 11:49 1
        
        You have a point. :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 11:52
  - you forgot the Canadian chauvanism factor. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 11:44
*any* time there is an international border involved, it will slow mail, is the point, OAE. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 11:42 1

  - I'm kind of enjoying the mix of cultures. (Although I'm waiting to see if BossSteve noticed pixie's steve reference.) -- nm - mara Nov 3, 11:50
  - I resisted friending TT forever. -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 11:46
- He has one of the more interesting profile pictures, too. -- nm - mara Nov 3, 11:43

And then there was but one undefeated team in Blood Feud... - David Nov 3, 11:41 13
- Enjoy it for another 2 weeks. - Spawn Nov 3, 11:41 11
  - What would the score have been this week if we had played? - David Nov 3, 11:42 10
    - Then maybe you should turn BF into a points league, because as is all I will need to do is score more points than you in week 11, which I will. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:50 4
      - Given that your team has outscored mine a whopping 2 out of 9 weeks (22%!), I consider your optimism adorable. -- nm - David Nov 3, 11:54 3
        
        Seeing as how only 1 team has outscored me this year (14%), we will see. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:56 2
        
        Come on David, don't stop now. The team with the second highest point total is 3-5. See how important it is? - Spawn Nov 3, 12:06
        
        I'm just happy that I'll be in 3rd place (I think) :) -- nm - kilboooo Nov 3, 12:06
    - I know...he got a gift from me this week. Is it too much to ask to have 1 healthy RB on my roster? - Jim Nov 3, 11:45 4
      - Or mayabe a D that would show up? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:52 2
        
        Ya know...D has always been a problem for me in this league...I'm drafting one in the first round next year. - Jim Nov 3, 11:59 1
        
        Minn was my keeper. See how that turned out? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:04
      - I'll still trade you for McFadden. -- nm - David Nov 3, 11:47
- *yawn* -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 11:41
my first (and brief) NANOWRIMO update for this year.... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 3, 11:39 2
- Go you! -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 11:40
- I'm going to start on Wednesday afternoon and play catch-up through the weekend. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 3, 11:40
