  - i noticed several hitters as well -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 11:27 3
    - maybe it's spread. (It started with the starters and then spread to all of the pitching staff) -- nm - Callisto Jul 19, 11:30 2
      - sounds like we should call the CDC. -- nm - Satan Jul 19, 11:33 1

The more I reflect on Harry Potter 6 the more I'm disenchanted. Just saying. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 11:23 23
- It gets a B+, mainly due to cinematography and my love of the characters. They just went a little too nuts with the hatchet. spoil - Spawn Jul 19, 11:48
- I can't understand the ahte, I've seen that film three times and I like it more and more. What's with all the hate? -- nm - Buzz Jul 19, 11:45 1
  - Not hate. Disapointment. We waited another half a year for a movie that in essence has no intensity. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 11:49
- Crazy talk. -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:43
- I don't understand the sentiment. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 19, 11:40 10

        They can make it up to me by having WW3 basically unleashed as the almost entirety of Movie 7.2 - Will Hunting Jul 19, 11:48 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Not desolation....the good guys were still together, but there was an overt sense of dread in the book that the evil storm was gathering. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 11:46 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I guess I just disagree. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 19, 11:49
- [deleted] 6
  - Really it's only the characters that hold it up for me. There was hardly a sense of moving towards desolation. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 11:39
  - It was very meh given the huge events of the book. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 11:35 4
    - [deleted] 3

        [deleted]
        
        I disagree with your disagreement. If anything Harry was unreadable at best. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 11:52
- I don't think IMAX in 2 weeks would change that, but it may be worth the effort since the only other film I've seen in it was Charlie/Choc Factory. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 11:29
Thankfully, Reverend Lovejoy was there to save Bonani from the orangutans -- (link) - Beaker Jul 19, 11:16 2
- I hate when places reference the Darwin Awards when the person doesn't remove himself from the gene pool. -- nm - Satan Jul 19, 11:23 1
  - I guess you do have a vested interest. -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 11:41
Our only hope is if Cink goes into the heavy stuff from his drive on 18. - Loyola Jul 19, 11:16 1
- Make that 3 rabbits. -- nm - Loyola Jul 19, 11:22

- sad -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 11:13 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - that's true, just sad he was 1 putt away and now ending like this -- nm - GWAA Jul 19, 11:17
Sorry Tom, the deal was 72 holes -- nm - Satan Jul 19, 11:08 1

If you take out your 3 iron and break it across your opponent's face...I don't believe there's anything in the rules of golf that outlaws that. -- nm - Loyola Jul 19, 10:58
I'm in love -- (link) - marcel Jul 19, 10:55 [youtube]
Sonofabitch - Marlowe Jul 19, 10:53 3
- jeebus, as much as i want to see Tom win, Stewart's a good guy - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:55 2
  - Yeah, he was owed one for the 2001 US Open. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 11:45
  - And Tiger still has a chance. -- nm - American Talking Head Jul 19, 10:59
If Cink wins this I'm never watching golf again. -- nm - Loyola Jul 19, 10:52 1

i love streaming the BBC coverage so i can listen to Peter Aliss - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:44 3
- They're much better to listen to, I just wish there wasn't a bit of a delay. They're slightly behind the tv. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 10:53
- That's the one I get here.. It's lovely to listen to... - Marlowe Jul 19, 10:49
- that guy is in love with his voice. he should say massapequa -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 10:49

So, Will and I played bar poker last night - he won, and as his "prize" got a sheet with a code for a "discount cruise" for 2, 3, 4 or 7 nights, - kelly Jul 19, 10:35 9
- Bar poker leagues have pretty slim margins. It was free to enter, right? - psilotum Jul 19, 11:38
- I'd price out the cruises through various travel sites, and see if there's really any savings. - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 10:47 2
  - Oh yeah, it's definitely a stateroom. - kelly Jul 19, 11:00 1
    - Exactly - price it out and see what they're really offering. Sounds like a 2 for 1 deal? - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 11:09
- Not sure but it doesn't sound like much of a prize if you have to spend money to use it. - Krusty Jul 19, 10:42
- I'd have settled for leather chaps -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 10:42
- have you googled the cruise line and anything related for anomalies? -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 10:41 2
  - and I would probably not return to that bar for poker again. -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 10:47 1
    - Oh, it's actually not a bad place - I've been learning how to play here - it's a good place to learn. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 10:58
Dumb Mac question: If I want to screenshot on a PC, I shift-PrtScrn and then paste to MS Paint and crop if needed. Voila. - ty97 Jul 19, 10:30 6
- It will save a png file on your desktop. You can send that, open it in preview and resave in something else, etc -- nm - Guigue Jul 19, 10:34 2
  - In case you don't know, you can also cmd-shift-4 to only take a screenshot of a selected area -- nm - Guigue Jul 19, 10:35 1
    - thanks. I do so little with phots that when I need to, I'm lost -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 10:42

...S....t.....e.....w.....a...r.....t.... -- nm - Trophy Engraving Incorporated Jul 19, 10:27
wouldn't like to be Westwood right now. On the green in two on the 18th, 3 putt for bogey, misses playoff by one shot. -- nm - Loyola Jul 19, 10:27
Doh! -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 10:25 4
- that was not his best putt ever -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:25 3

- it was around long before that. i remember hearing it on tv at least as early as the 80s -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:22 1
  - I was so young in the 80s I was only watching putt-putt on TV. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 19, 10:24
Hehe, training my dog is fun - celedhring Jul 19, 10:21
Great article on an anti-trust case going to the Supreme Court that could have a huge impact on the 4 major sports Leagues -- (link) - Beaker Jul 19, 10:20 1
- No chance of that happening, the backlash would be terrible. - celedhring Jul 19, 10:39

Anyone gonna mention Vandevelde? -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 10:13 4
- Shut the eff up!! - Marlowe Jul 19, 10:17

- there's no water for watson to put it in here -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:14
- VdV was a ham n egger. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:14
Jeremy Mayfield now claiming NASCAR spiked his urine sample (he should have followed the tennis player's lead and said he got it from kissing a girl) -- (link) - Beaker Jul 19, 10:13
So Paul Azinger, would you say this could be the shot of his life? -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:11 4
- the shot of his career! *rolls eyes* -- nm - CQ Jul 19, 10:13
- Chris Wood had *two* of those on 18 a couple hours ago -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:12 2

Watson lead at the end of the 2nd & 3rd rounds, but not the first, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 19, 10:07 2
- he was one back of Jimenez. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:08
- correct -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:08
even if Watson loses he's gained a ton of endorsement deals from this. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 10:07 4
- eh, i'm sure he's got more money than he could ever spend at this point -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:07 2
  - gold plated rocket car! -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:09
  - very true. but this will kick him up a level or three. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 10:08
- Viagra -- nm - Dano Jul 19, 10:07
i've seen Watson chip in from a similar position on another 17th green before . . . -- nm - 500 dugs of summer Jul 19, 10:06
(Tim Sylvia made $800,000 for his 36-second loss to Fedor last summer.) nm - Dignan Jul 19, 10:05 2

Okay, I know the green gallery just yelled "Get in the hole." -- nm - mara Jul 19, 09:56 7
- can someone explain the origin of this? -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 10:00 5
  - well, several hundred years ago, the Scots invented a game that involved hitting a ball into a hole. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:02
  - Redmond might, but you'd have to make a sex bet with him first -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 10:02
  - Once upon a time, somebody yelled "Get in the hole" at a golf tournament that was televised. Others heard it and started doing it themselves. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 10:01 2
    - thanks. just checking to see if there was some movie reference I should be embarrassed about not knowing. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 19, 10:04
