Would you say that the portrayal of Obama in the Mike Lane cartoon is racist? -- (link) - Mop Nov 5, 12:45 23
- No, it's called a caricature. -- nm - mara Nov 5, 12:52
- Not at all, it's a caricature of a big ear'ed, prominent teeth'ed guy. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:52
- Seriously? The big ears, the big teeth...? No offense? -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 12:49 4
  - What big teeth? His mouth is closed. (We *are* both seeing the Tic-Tac-Toe cartoon, right?) -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 12:52 1
    - Scroll down six cartoons to the one by Mike Lane. -- nm - Mop Nov 5, 12:55

    - *trying desperately not to imagine McCain with really nice legs* -- nm - Max Nov 5, 12:51
- nah, it makes him look like Jimmy Carter -- (link) - Max Nov 5, 12:48 [Image]
- Not at all. Do you? -- nm - Loyola Nov 5, 12:48
- No. Can't even imagine why someone would think it is. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 12:48

if I read between the lines, am I being accused of being super super bitchy? here's the thing: - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 12:42 18
- I didn't name any names, but thanks for self-identifying. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:43 15
  - whatever, I *am* a super super bitch to people I don't respect. I admit this freely. - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 12:47 11
    - and I tell you so to your face. I'd appreciate if you would ignore me totally, rather than just popping up to be randomly bitchy. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:48 10
      - See, right here is where you should have just walked. - Trish Nov 5, 12:52 1
        
        This amazes me. maj is just as much in the wrong here as loosi. Yet, loosi gets the talking to every time. - Inigo Nov 5, 12:55
      - just ignore me when I do. see? or use killfile, like you keep telling me to do and accusing me of doing - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 5, 12:52
      - Then shut the fuck up about us. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:49
      - This is the post you shouldn't have made. You're feeding the cycle. Stop being a victim. -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 12:49 5
        
        I guess I am retarded, becuase I don't get how standing up for myself makes me a victim. that said, - loosilu Nov 5, 12:51 4
        
        Be responding you invite response, which you then respond to. This continues until you feel belittled. Stop responding. - TWuG Nov 5, 12:54 2
        
        By responding, I will hopefully make the text go smaller, which I love. - Subversive Nov 5, 12:55 1
        
        How bout now? -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 12:56
        
        Please. Go to sleep. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:52
  - You *live* for conflict. -- nm - Shaun Nov 5, 12:46
  - How much did you pay your shrink for that line? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:44 1
    - *hurries this thread into "squeaky voice" territory* -- nm - TWuG Nov 5, 12:45
- You're so vain, you think this post is about you. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:43 1
  - I wasnt. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:43
*berymanders KimsNewBody.com* - David Nov 5, 12:41 4
- She would kill you in your sleep. -- nm - Amy--most deteriorated poster Nov 5, 12:43 3
  - OMG, it's real! It just displayed. -- nm - Amy--most deteriorated poster Nov 5, 12:46 2
    - Is it spectacular? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:51
    - I *know*! I did a triple take. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:48
Far be it from me to be an asshole... -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:38 12
- If someone saying enough, it's not that hard to walk away. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:41 11
  - You can't quit me. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 12:41
  - I'm just trying to have a conversation about it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:41 9
    - i just watched Dazed and Confused the other day. You know why they target that one kid? Because someone asks them not to. - Andie Nov 5, 12:44 8
      - Also good advice. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:50
      - At least try it. Try not responding at all for a month and see what happens. -- nm - Amy--most deteriorated poster Nov 5, 12:48 3
        
        It's quite liberating actually. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 12:49 1
        
        LYC - Spawn Nov 5, 12:53
        
        I have done it before, and I guess I'll do it again. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:49
      - You're pretty *and* smart? That's not fair. - musubi Nov 5, 12:45 2
        
        it is difficult for me to be pretty, so I wish you'd understand my struggles in that regard -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:47 1
        
        He is a bit of a bigot about that, isn't he? -- nm - Subversive Nov 5, 12:54
Andie gave Vermin a "small size test" on b2. I'm not even joking. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:37 1
- he passed. - Andie Nov 5, 12:38
[deleted] 2
- I love the dude in Hong Kong with the "Montana for Obama" shirt on. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 12:38 1
  - [deleted]
Jack's response was well-put, followed by Vermin's dismissive "i accept your apology". point goes to JD. -- nm - Guy Nov 5, 12:37
Worst in MLB: Michael Bourn at .288 OBP. Second worst in baseball: Jeff Francoeur at .294 OBP. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:36 12
- I disagree with your interpretation of the statistics. -- nm - nubby, Least Important Poster Nov 5, 12:38 1
  - I interpret them as a spreadsheet wherein Bourne is at the bottom and the name right above him is Fracoeur. Too maverick-y? -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:39
- This is payback for my Kazmir analogy the other day, isn't it? (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:37 9
  - It's just so frustrating to see the same guy have the same at bat every damn time. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:38 8
    - (He went down 0-2 in the count 53 times more than any other hitter in baseball.) -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:38 7
      - Wait a 2nd.....53 more times? 700 plate apps a year, he somehow managed to do that 53 more *times* than anyone else? - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:41 2
        
        This is what I'm saying! It's so easily fixable if he would just, you know, learn. -- nm - David Nov 5, 12:48
        
        hell, just look at the 700 PAs of horrid OBP and there's a good argument he's way worse than Bourne. - musubi Nov 5, 12:47
      - It really is a conundrum, because he is still young and cheap. Add in the ATL has used him as a cornerston in marketing and there is simply no way - musubi Nov 5, 12:41 3
        
        Apparently, all you need is trade him for anyone other than Michael Bourn and you have commensurate value. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:43 2
        
        Only if you ignore the young, cheap, and marketing cornerstone aspects. - musubi Nov 5, 12:44 1
        
        At this point, wouldn't having your young marketable cornerstone not be this bad for a 90+ loss team be soemthing you'd gladly turn the corner on? - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:47
Diva, I was waiting for one of them to mention Steve Buscemi, and then my afternoon would have been complete. -- nm - kelly Nov 5, 12:33 2
- "Okay, you name some old guy that's hot." "No, you name some old guy that's hot. I already said Burt Reynolds." - kelly's cow orkers si Nov 5, 12:37
- Not even Mama Buscemi thinks Steve is a hot man. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 12:34
Jack, not sure if you know, but what would it take to put a proposition on the ballot to remove Prop 8 language? - musubi Nov 5, 12:33 3
- [deleted]
- I'm rather surprised that ammending a Constitution doesn't need a 2/3 vote. It makes it much more volatile and less consensual, which isn't good. -- nm - celedhrymandias Nov 5, 12:34 1
  - It's crazy passing a state buget requires a supermajority, but ammending the State Constitution? Not so much. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:36
Can I just say, Bery having made really long threads get tiny really takes the steam out of some arguments. Genius. - TWuG Nov 5, 12:30 7
- I love the smaller type, I just wish it would get even smaller and smaller until it just goes away. -- nm - Jim Nov 5, 12:36 3
  - That would kill the cheerleaders threads! -- nm - Guigue Nov 5, 12:38 1
    - *Awards Nobel Peace Prize to Bery for this.* -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 12:40
  - I wish your FACE ... ah, never mind. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:38
- It's signal: It's gone on too long, stop reading! - Amy--most deteriorated poster Nov 5, 12:33 1
  - this actually works well for me. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:33
- It really does spiral down to being irrelevent -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 5, 12:32
for nubby - a non-ST friend of mine loves this xkcd comic and forwarded this strip to me -- (link) - crash davis Nov 5, 12:30 2
- It's still not a force. -- nm - nubby, Least Important Poster Nov 5, 12:38 1
  - honestly, I didn't truly understand it, but my friend (grad degree in math) found it funny - crash davis Nov 5, 12:41
It's settled: ty97 is icky. - musubi Nov 5, 12:27 5
- ty97 has done nothing to change my perception of gays as lazy couch sleepers -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 12:34
- again? :) -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 5, 12:31
- at least he's not a boob grabber. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:28 1
  - also not a bad example to lump in with the gay pride parade conundrum. -- nm - TFox Nov 5, 12:30
- [deleted]
Too weird not to post.. Sarah Brightman and Paris Hilton!?!? -- (link) - secretslacker Nov 5, 12:27
Guess the temperature in my office! -- nm - Amy--most deteriorated poster Nov 5, 12:26 6
- 1 -- nm - budice Nov 5, 12:29
- Absolute zero.....or 68 degrees. Either or. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:29
- 61 degrees -- nm - Dano, Least Improved Poster Nov 5, 12:28
- 312.50 -- nm - secretslacker Nov 5, 12:27
- 84* -- nm - Andie Nov 5, 12:26 1
