and the best pitcher in the NL this season so far is???? - groiny Jun 30, 12:17 11
- Sure...he hasn't pitched enough innings to be "qualified"...but I'll take Chris Carpenter over any of them. nm - Jim Jun 30, 12:27 1

- the kid who got drafted by the Nationals #1 -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 12:19
- His win/loss record is an abomination. He's just destroying people. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:18
- Lincecum, definitely. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:17 1
  - His ERA over his last 7 starts is like 1.20. He's ridiculous. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:19
- It's likely not Kenny Powers. -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:17

Knock knock. Who's there? - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:09 6
- Are you having another two-soda day? :-) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:14 1
  - No, just one - decaf mountain dew. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:18
- My doctor also says not to use Q-Tips for cleaning your ears. And kare's story is indeed cringe-worthy. - JaxSean Jun 30, 12:12 1
  - "Shut up brain or I'll stab you with a Q-Tip!" -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:14
- Potato. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:10 1
  - Potato who? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:11
Another magazine bites the dust - Brian Jun 30, 12:06 8
- And I'm now kicking myself for not going with the Office Space reference first. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 12:17
- This gave me a berymander for The Source. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:14
- if it was indeed one of the nation's leading popular music magazines than it wouldn't be closing down now would it? -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 12:14

- Maxim should be gone, because I have not paid for an issue in 4 years. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:07 3
  - I think it's written by 19-year old frat boys. That's a bad thing. -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:08 1
    - Why shouldn't 19-year-old frat boys have a magazine tailored just for them, snob??? - Dr.Vermin Jun 30, 12:23
  - Ugh, they just started sending that to me out of nowhere. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:08

- thoos somali Pirates are getting into a lot of stuff now -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 12:27
- This is like if the two nerdiest kids in school traded glasses. -- nm - Inigo Jun 30, 12:13 1
  - Yeah, but the nerds will at least have some success in the future. - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:14
- "This guy here is dead." -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:07
- The Nats are trading away young and promising talent because they're such a perennial contender, right? -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:05
- I like what the Pirates get more on both sides of this. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:05 2
  - Ultimately, it doesn't much matter - Brian Jun 30, 12:10
  - although they should only be allowed to trade with teams that are better than they are. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:05
Oh, and just to clarify, the dude was already split from his 2nd baby-mama before he met my wife's friend. - Subversive Jun 30, 12:03 9
- sounds like I guy I went to high school with. his name isn't andrew, is it? -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:05
- I would say, you don't know that for sure. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:04 7
  - Looks for where he said or even hinted it was for sure. - Subversive Jun 30, 12:07 6
    - you can verify that, but I would have doubts whether he'd never cheated. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:07 5
      - Right, agreed. I just said we don't actually have historical evidence of him as a cheater. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:09 4
        
        seriously, is his name andrew? because it actually does sound like an idiot I went to high school with. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:22 2
        
        Hah. No, it's Bob. - Subversive Jun 30, 12:24 1
        
        just south of calgary. strathcona-tweedsmuir. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:26
        
        oh, I know. just saying that it's mostly his word. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:09

- *gaze* -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:01
So, the maxim is "once a cheater, always a cheater". Do you know anyone who only cheated once? - David Jun 30, 12:00 47
- I think I've only cheated on one *person*... does that count? - Dr.Vermin Jun 30, 12:22
- and a geologist friend, now that I think about it. - mafic Jun 30, 12:07 4
  - Hmm, I think I would count that as twice, especially if there was a "it won't happen again" somewhere in there. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:11 3
    - yeah. there was, and it did. I'd be done with her, but they seem happy. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:21 2
      - (after the first round, I'd be done. infidelity is a total dealbreaker for me). -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:23 1
        
        Yup and it's so silly. It's simple to say "I need a break" rather than be dishonest about it. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:26
- a friend's brother cheated and repented. it took awhile for them to get back into a healthy place, but i think it's been about 8 years or so since - kare Jun 30, 12:05 7
  - (Me?) -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:06 6
    - yes! -- nm - kare Jun 30, 12:06 5
      - We'd have to like, meet, first. - David Jun 30, 12:07 4
        
        heh - kare Jun 30, 12:09 1
        
        HEY! -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:12
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        To the Brazilmobile! -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:12
- Hmm, I think the kind of person who would only cheat once would be genuinely remorseful, and embarassed. - Inigo Jun 30, 12:04
- my mom. she's been with the other guy for about 6 years longer than my parents were married. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:04
- i do. someone who was in a very unhappy marriage years ago and wanted an excuse to end it. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 12:04 15
  - (oh, and this cheating didn't even involve sex, just some kissing, etc.) -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 12:04 14
    - I'm a guy. There has to be groin friction for it to count as cheating. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:09 13
      - You're joking, right? - Subversive Jun 30, 12:11 11
        
        Actually, I guess tongue kissing would be mine. That and the groin friction. -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:13 9
        
        What about boob kissing, with no tongue? - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:14 8
        
        Can you describe a scenario where that would happen without kissing first? -- nm - David Jun 30, 12:15 4
        
        The tits may be hot, but the mouth could look sketchy -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:28
        
        look at Jack's flickr stream. -- nm - mafic Jun 30, 12:27
        
        More than likely it would, yes, but not necessarily. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:16
        
        [deleted]
        
        Fingers in certain areas likely classifies as groin friction :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:15 2
        
        Don't assume. nm -- nm - Dignan si reaching for the TP Jun 30, 12:17
        
        True. I guess I read David's post incorrectly, as strictly from the guy's groin. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:16
        
        but if *she* were to make out with another woman, it would be hot. So really,you're holding yourself to a double standard here... -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:12
      - in other words, you have to cross the sex line? -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:10
- define "cheating"... -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:02 4
  - (this was my first thought) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:03 3
    - because I probably fall into this category. - znufrii Jun 30, 12:07 2
      - Same here (without the being married part) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:13
      - (unless we're strictly talking while married, here) -- nm - znufrii Jun 30, 12:08
- Other than this dude, I don't know if any of my friends have ever cheated. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:02 4
  - I'm imagining you pointing your thumbs to your chest while saying "this dude" -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:03 1
    - It's usually "this guy", right? Like in, "Who has two thumbs and has never cheated on his wife? THIS GUY!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:04
  - I imagine that many people keep it secret even from good friends. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:02 1
    - Absolutely. I would certainly think less of someone who told me. -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:04
- it is a very hard habit to break. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:01

  - You know that for sure, or speaking from experience? ;) -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:01 1

killer Q-tips. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:00
ST Poll: Have you ever done the neti pot thing? If you do it regularly, how often? And ... have you heard any doctor's opinions of it? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:00 20
- no clue what this is -- nm - CQ Jun 30, 12:04
- My wife does it. It grosses me out. - JaxSean Jun 30, 12:04 4
  - I have done both, and I hate putting contacts in. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:07
  - I can't figure either out. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:05 1
    - way easier than learning to put in contacts, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:06
  - me? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:05
- Not exactly a neti pot, but I've done sinus rinses. No set schedule though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 30, 12:03 1
  - same here -- nm - decline Jun 30, 12:17
- my doctor advised me to get one during my last cold. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 12:02
- reagen has -- nm - zork Jun 30, 12:01
- twice a week. - groiny Jun 30, 12:01 1
  - and my pulmonologist (sp) says it is great for those with sinus issues. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 12:02
- I have never heard of this -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 12:01
- no, but i do a homemade saline rinse w/o a neti pot sometimes. i tend to have a lot of allergy-induced sinus pain. this can help - kare Jun 30, 12:00 4
  - I do a saline rinse. -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 12:01 3
    - I love saline for this. It works well. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 12:02 2
      - do a lot of singers do this? -- nm - Remlik Jun 30, 12:06 1
        
        I'm not sure. But I wish I had known about it before as seasonal allergies kick my patootie. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 12:22
- yes, it's awesome for allergies. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 12:00
- Huh? -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:00
[deleted] 6
- it never belonged in the first place. -- nm - zork Jun 30, 12:05
- This is great news for some made up sport that you've never heard of. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 12:00 2
  - *ding* -- nm - Subversive Jun 30, 12:12
  - so true. -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 12:00
- with the WBC, I do not think this is a big deal. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 11:59 1
  - Phelps is going to picket *baseball* now? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 30, 12:00
