Okay, rate how great this past weekend was, and compare to your estimate: -- (link) - Andie Jun 29, 12:51 [Backboard] 3
- Have to give it about a 9, I guess. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:52 1
  - Oh, I missed the original post, so I don't have an estimate. I'll say that I would have estimated 7.5 :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:53
- i guessed a 9, but it was maybe more a 8.5. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 12:51
Some guy just cleaned out my trading post with 40 ships and then sent another 75 ships my way. - Mop Jun 29, 12:46 3
- they get there, find no goods, and leave. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 29, 12:48 1
  - But that makes us salesman *very* sad. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 12:48
- Ain't it grand?! -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 12:46
lir Redmond, very hot and single girls in bikinis, they had been to the beach. And my guess is they are professional escorts. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 29, 12:44 2
- What made you think they were escorts? -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 12:46 1
  - Just a guess, but maybe it was the $20 he paid them for a hummer in the back of the limo? - Subversive Jun 29, 12:48
Honey, I love you, I think you're a terrific girl, but you have clothes like a f**king d!ckhead." -- nm - Kenny Powers Jun 29, 12:42
OMG, I almost forgot to tell you about my new favorite drink. Iced black coffee and caramel liquor (50/50). -- nm - mara Jun 29, 12:40 11
- I don't like iced coffee, and it would probably be too sweet for me anyway. -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 12:46 7
  - How would iced coffee be sweet? If you added sugar maybe. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:48 3
    - I can't imagine the caramel liqueur wouldn't be sweet... -- nm - znufrii Jun 29, 12:49
    - The caramel liquor makes it sweet. -- nm - mara Jun 29, 12:49 1
      - Ah "it" meant the mixture. Mondays sucks. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:52
  - I am fond of iced pizza and iced hot chocolate. - Spawn Jun 29, 12:47 2
    - Because it tastes good and is refreshing -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 12:48 1
      - Drink. A. Coke. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 12:49
- yum. - kelly Jun 29, 12:45
- "She is either alcohol free or nearly so." - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:42 1
  - I can quit any time! -- nm - mara Jun 29, 12:48
Is the following statement correct? Since 1980, Dwight Gooden and Jack McDowell are the only two pitchers drafted... - Inigo Jun 29, 12:36 16
- Oddly, the statement becomes true if you look at *ONLY* #5 picks. And not top 5 picks. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:46 4
  - That really could be it. If so, what a craptacular stat to bring up. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 12:51
  - Bobby Witt, Greg Swindell, Tim Belcher and Andy Benes are all top 5 picks who won 100+. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:50
  - I presume their point is that picking in the top 5 in the MLB Draft isn't like any other sports, which is true. - David Jun 29, 12:49 1
    - True. But that point could easily be made without cherry picking something like *only* #5 picks. Some really good hitters have been taken #5. - musubi Jun 29, 12:53
- I wouldn't be surprised. Top 5 picks is a pretty small sample. in 29 years, that's only 145 total players. - musubi Jun 29, 12:41
- [deleted] 1
  - Well, there that is. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:42
- I started in 1990 and checked exactly one name before finding one that did. - David Jun 29, 12:39 5
  - [deleted] 1
    - Random. -- nm - David Jun 29, 12:42
  - Looks like Mike Moore did as well. Hmm... -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 12:40 2
    - Mark Mulder is the other from the 90s although Beckett gets there in a couple of weeks. -- nm - David Jun 29, 12:45 1
      - Tim Belcher too. *shakes fist at ESPN radio* -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 12:46
- Seems unlikely. Off to ESPN to do a bit of research! -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:38 1
  - Kevin Brown, Mark Mulder, Josh Beckett is 2 away. I might have missed some. -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:43

- Wow. *brutal*. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:40
- She's so skinny. What happened to that adorable Parent Trap, and Mean Girls actress? -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 12:37 3
  - "Heroin's a hell of a drug." -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:41 2
    - word... she was so hot 'long long ago' .... -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jun 29, 12:49 1
      - SNL, Harry Potter sketch... -- (link) - Spawn Jun 29, 12:52
- It's nice to see Hollywood taking care of the homeless at their red carpet events. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 12:37
- "this is how the ploice tell me to stand when I'm being arrested." -- nm - lindsay Jun 29, 12:36 1
  - Laughed out Loud. -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 12:37
- The guy looking for his goddess need look no further. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:35
- You know, hers would be one of the unsurprising celeb deaths -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 12:35
- She looks like a strung out hooker. -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:34 2
  - "looks like" -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:34 1
    - Or maybe she feels that it's not hooking if you don't get paid cash for it. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:41
- fell asleep in the spray tan booth. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 12:33
Twitter can be very scary. -- (link) - mara Jun 29, 12:33 [flickr]
MLB Trivia (pitcher ribbies edition): In honor of Mariano Rivera's first career RBI yesterday, what active picther has the most career RBI? 2nd? - musubi Jun 29, 12:29 19
- Rick Ankiel -- nm - Dano Jun 29, 12:35 2
  - He's not an active pitcher. Good try though. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:36 1
    - ty? -- nm - Dano Jun 29, 12:38
- Owings - 42 -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:31 4
  - Not in the top 10. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:35 3
    - Yeah, it was a stab since Zambrano and Hampton were already guessed. I bet he has good numbers on a per season average, though. -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:37
    - will he ever play in the AL? -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:36 1
      - I doubt it, but I could see an Ankiel-esque move to the OF for Owings. - musubi Jun 29, 12:37
- 2nd is maddox -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:30 3
  - maddux even - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:32 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I missed that -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:33

  - *ding*, Hampton leads all acitve players, but no bonus.(nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:32 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - There's a Silver Slugger award for pitchers? I can only imagine it's given out ironically. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:34
- zambrano 54 -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:29 2
  - I believe The Zambino is 5th on the active list. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:33 1
    - once I put him as my guess I knew it wouldn't be right because he's too young -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 29, 12:35
Toddler LYC: - prayformojo Jun 29, 12:19 5
- heh -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 12:46
- *laughing* -- nm - kelly Jun 29, 12:45
- On the way back from the pool yesterday, my 2-yr-old daughter addressed myself and 4-yr-old son by "C'mon, boys." -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 12:38
- I can't wait til she calls you bro. -- nm - Dano Jun 29, 12:30
- Awesome. I love when they say things and you have no idea where they learned them. - Subversive Jun 29, 12:25

- not surprising since seasonal flu this year was resistant. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 12:20 3
  - are you likely resistant to this one? -- nm - zork Jun 29, 12:21 2
    - to which? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 12:23 1
      - The swine flu playing first base... -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 12:29
mara, speaking of "stuff" - kare Jun 29, 12:10
LYC: I feel kind of blah today, what should I do tonight - MDH Jun 29, 12:08 20
- 500 Days of Summer! - kelly Jun 29, 12:21 2
  - Haha yeah, at Gallery Place? -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 12:25 1
    - Yep. (I went to the Bethesda Landmark over the weekend and they were practically forcing those passes in people's hands.) -- nm - kelly Jun 29, 12:44
- Megan Fox. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 12:13 13
  - It's really odd how hot they make her look in the Transformers movies compared to any of her red carpet appearances. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:18 12
    - I think its one of those "trying not as hard gets a better result" - tRuMaN Jun 29, 12:21 8
      - aka the DLC group. Enjoy yourselves. -- nm - Spawn Jun 29, 12:36
      - spoils? - Shaun Jun 29, 12:24 3
        
        spoilers - tRuMaN Jun 29, 12:26 2
        
        I might even agree with you. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:26 1
        
        this is her, right? -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 29, 12:30
      - since I'm a straight chick, can you guys explain? is she hotter on the red carpet or in the movie? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 12:22 2
        
        I would say the movie. - tRuMaN Jun 29, 12:26 1
        
        What a strange weapon to wield. What is it called? It seems more menacing than a Bat'leth. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:28
    - Hm. The word "odd" does not come to mind. -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 12:20 2
      - I can't figure it out. I see her on the red carpet and I think "Yeah she's pretty hot." But in Transformers, she -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:21 1
        
        sfek, she's DDG. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:21
- 500 Days of Summer -- nm - Dano Jun 29, 12:10

  - Or for even more fun, reverse the order... (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:10
If any Canucks are looking to get inFamous cheap, it's on sale at Best Buy for $29.99 starting June 30th til July 2nd. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:08 4
- There isn't a best buy in victoria. But then again, the only game I'd consider buying right now is Ghostbusters ... and even then I couldn't justify - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:09 3
  - You have a PS3? I don't know if I knew this or not. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:17 2
    - No, I don't - I confused inFamous with Prototype, I think. (checks ... yep, that's exactly it) - Beryllium Jun 29, 12:22 1
      - Join us! -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 12:22
The Big Picture: Glastonbury (a lot of great pictures, I really like photo #2) -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 29, 12:08 9

  - That stink must stay with you for days -- nm - con_carne Jun 29, 12:36

- The line "I think 15 minutes is pretty minimal for a goddess" is hilarious and makes me think of the flair scene from Office Space. -- nm - Subversive Jun 29, 12:20

    - Hee! -- nm - mara Jun 29, 12:50
- This is like the flipside of that woman with the insanely detailed list of requirements. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:10
- I'm extremely disappointed that this doesn't link to dignan's b2 post. (nm) - musubi Jun 29, 12:09 1
