- huh, I've been to that mall. my uncle lives in the next town south. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 18:49
- One great irony of our society is Nordstrom's is getting nationwide publicity, and sales $$ will probably rise many times what was stolen & damaged. -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 21, 17:31
"Boring people really shouldn't write memoirs" - hah! well, I guess I won't be writing and memoir then. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 17:05
So, I see the link I c&p'd from Reddit about the stock split didn't take and you got a neat wheelbarrow link instead. Trust me, the logic in the - TWuG Nov 21, 16:41 2
- the wheelbarrow link probably makes more sense. -- nm - mafic Nov 21, 16:49 1
  - The Reddit link involved numerology, so probably. -- nm - TWuG Nov 21, 16:52

- Waukesha is west of Milwaukee. -- nm - . Nov 21, 17:06
- Horrible. Glad they didn't hit that kid. Looks like an older Ford Escape or Explorer, probably not a rental. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 16:42 3
  - jeez, terror? 3 suspects 'shooting' ? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 17:00 2
    - I can't put much stock in early reports like that, especially not after the needle thing -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 17:01 1

we've replaced the KC Defense with the '85 Bears...let's see who notices... -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 16:03 3

  - Good question. -- nm - . Nov 21, 17:03
NFL question: A RB runs wide, but realizes there's no way he's getting back to the line. Is there any reason he couldn't throw it away like a QB? -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 15:49 3
- From what I see, that should be OK outside of the pocket. The rule refers to a "passer". Of course that incompletion would kill the RB's QB rating. 😊 -- (link) - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 16:00
- I think they have to be careful cause depending on the blocking scheme they may get a penalty for illegal man downfield, plus that is a total mind -- (edited) - Beaker Nov 21, 15:59 1
  - even in a designed gadget play its not sucessful often enough to be a regular thing. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 17:02

dear god chiefs, thats the third unsporting conduct penalty. - tRuMaN Nov 21, 14:47 7
- That last one was garbage, though. The other guy should have gotten ejected. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 21, 14:57 2
  - probably. but it didnt appear that the NFL wanted to correct that mistake, though I also dont think - tRuMaN Nov 21, 14:58 1
    - "I didnt see no facemask" -- nm - budice Nov 21, 15:05
- They must change their name or it will continue. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 14:56 3
  - And I guess we’ll take the racist chant from the cold, dead hands of their fans. - spamlet Nov 21, 15:00 2
    - while I think the hand motion part of the chant is racist, I didnt know the chant entirely was considered racist. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 21, 15:08 1
      - You know, they could change their logo from indigenous people to that insurrectionist shaman dude, would be equally offensive w/o the racism -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 21, 15:11
What if we gave a tour and nobody came? Means we get home to a cold beer two hours sooner :/ - Meg Nov 21, 14:37 1

  - not really sure that I can demo a unit anymore. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 21, 14:21
We had several handfuls of green tomatoes that never ripened but were still on the vine. Picked them today and used them to make green tomato salsa - prayformojo Nov 21, 14:09 1

- are The Bonds on any streaming services? I have no idea which one they are on (if any) up here and that kills them -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 15:35 6
  - They're all (20 of them at least) are on Crave. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 15:59 1
    - ahh, the one I don't have :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 16:02

      - Some are on Prime. Not all but... some. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 21, 19:56
      - I just looked up Die Another Day on JustWatch and that’s what it told me. I figured they’d be together - spamlet Nov 21, 16:34
- i think that has more to do with the fact that no one truly believes that spoils - Will Hunting Nov 21, 15:34 6
  - They have never played fast and loose with the one guy vs code name. They've just played fast and loose with continuity. -- (edited) - Ender Nov 21, 16:25 3
    - Yet they have a famous (spoils( - Will Hunting Nov 21, 16:57 1

  - I think I am the only one to see it opening night. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 15:12 2
    - We did. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 21, 16:13 1
      - We are all non-spoilers. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 17:36
- Yup -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 14:57
- I take it less as Bond not being in the zeitgeist than an acknowledgement that it's a major spoiler. SNL would be pilloried if they did a sketch. -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 14:05
*sigh* - znufrii Nov 21, 13:37 2
- The good elf or the bad elf? -- nm - . Nov 21, 17:09

The Electile Dysfunction ad on YouTube is amusing. I just watched the whole 2 minute ad instead of skipping it. -- nm - Dano Nov 21, 13:36
CBS Vegas home game. my signal is 6 seconds behind a friend in Chicago. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 21, 13:30 2

That Tyler Huntley-Andy Dalton match up will be remembered forever. And - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 13:17 2
- They got God as a kicker and Lamar has refused to lose at least 2 other games. - Will Hunting Nov 21, 13:22
- Huntley lived out a Disney sports movie today, but you guys were toasting Baltimore's secondary. - The Allfather Nov 21, 13:21
nice final play Andy Dalton -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 13:14 9
- He was great today. It's the defense and Justin Fields who failed the Bears. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 21, 13:17 8
  - Great? Your watching too much Matt Ryan. Doesn't matter who plays for the Bears. - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 13:21 7
    - Dalton had 207 yards, 2 (long) TDs, and a QB rating 107 in 23 minutes. The problem with the Bears offense is Fields. - The Allfather Nov 21, 13:28 6
      - I'll give any rookie QB a season before proclaiming them a boom or a bust. I'm not part of the team or an insider. I just would love to see Fields in - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 13:44 4
        
        The problem is that he doesn't see the field. So, you don't have a pro offense when he's playing. - The Allfather Nov 21, 13:53 3
        
        This year doesn't matter. Play Fields and lose every game (except Green Bay). Fire the coach. Get an offensive mind that can coach the young player. - zunk xometimes Nov 21, 14:05 2
        
        If you keep running Fields out there when he's this far over his head, all you do is ruin him. - The Allfather Nov 21, 14:12
        
        except you know, your head coach was supposed to be that guy already. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 21, 14:11
      - Nah, it's the offense. The part that protedts the QB, or doesn't. -- nm - . Nov 21, 13:37

holy moly what a TD. -- nm - mud Nov 21, 12:43 1

  - I could not get them off my MINI fast enough. -- nm - Spawn Nov 21, 15:14 1
    - Too hard/rough for your driving preferences? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 16:44
