        I'm sure I'll like Applebees. I also like making fun of it - will ferrell started it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:45
        
        As for chinese/mexican being global ... you forgot sushi and asian fusion, apparently :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:42 3
        
        Those are fancy restaurants. I'm talking the places you can find in any city, in almost any neighborhood. - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 15:46 1
        
        Indian (and vietnamese) are pretty popular here in BC -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:47

- We are the aliens, my friend. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 15:11 1
  - That's what I been saying! -- nm - Sitting Bull SI Aug 18, 15:13

  - Sfek.....you know who lives in outer space? - Stephen Aug 18, 15:00
  - Hitler? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 14:59 1
    - Nope, he lives in the Earths core - Stephen Aug 18, 15:01
- This is *awesome* -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 14:57
- Isn't that a bit like the native americans looking at the ships of Columbus et al, and saying "Well, looks like we're limes." -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 14:56 7
  - uh, no. its saying the basic building blocks of life are also found not on earth - Guy Aug 18, 15:04 6
    - it's highly unlikely the amino acid was *anywhere* from the start. Exogensis or not, we got here somehow. - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:06 5
      - i think the point of the article is that what allows us to exist exists elsewhere -- nm - Guy Aug 18, 15:25 1
        
        Which is a far cry from Loyola's definitive "We're aliens" statement, which is what I was attempting to clarify. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:29

        Panspermia cuts both ways; if it happened somewhere else, and it happened here, maybe intelligence happened somewhere else too -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 15:24 1

- Hmmmm. /scribbles furiously/ -- nm - Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Panel Aug 18, 14:48
- I think this is a symptom of Favretirement. Favre feels this way until he gets re-signed. - Beryllium Aug 18, 14:48 1
  - could also be nerve-related. Accupuncture could help a lot, or it could be the worst torture on the planet ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 14:49
- I get migraines but they aren't anything like this. nm - Dignan Aug 18, 14:48
- I'm sure any pain I've had like this had to do with either A) being hung over or B) staring at a computer screen for hours -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 14:47
- Sounds like demon possession. -- nm - Loyola Aug 18, 14:47
- Favritist? -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 14:44
I'm pretty sure Peter Sarsgaard could offer to peal my sunburn, and I'd still be creeped out. - ty97 Aug 18, 14:30 7
- I know it's creepy. That's what makes it funny. -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 14:33
- fun fact: When my skin peels from a sun burn, there are little holes where the freckles were. - loosilu Aug 18, 14:31 4
  - so you don't peel then? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 14:32 3
    - you understand what freckles are, right? -- nm - loosilu Aug 18, 14:34 2
      - you understand that you are one big freckle, right? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 14:35 1
        
        lots of us are one big freckle if we spend a little time in the sun - 'lia Aug 18, 14:44
- its only creepy if he eats it. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 14:30
This week The Room is in Toronto, Cleveland, and Columbia (MO) - Dano Aug 18, 14:23 1

Will, my 3-hybrid is the best money I've spent on golf equpiment ever. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 14:15 19
- I haven't run into a scenario where the extra loft would be useful for me. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:35 2
  - if only they made a putter that would make me putt better. - groiny Aug 18, 14:36 1
    - Same here. I was laughing Sunday watching Tiger and YE butcher #17. They looked like me. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:39
- so, as a hybrid dummy, what is a hybrid 3 good for? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 14:23 14
  - the idea is a club with a little more loft, so it's easier to hit, weighted like an iron but with a wider sole like a wood. - TFox Aug 18, 14:28 13
    - It's also a fantastic rescue club for long grass. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 14:39 5
      - Wouldn't the larger face/squareness lead to more grass catching the shaft and turning it? - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:42 4
        
        The larger face and mass actually stabilize in grass, I thought. Plus the center of gravity not being directly on the face. -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 14:44
        
        not like, St. Andrews long grass, like second cut long stuff - Reagen Aug 18, 14:44 2
        
        "Ach, if ya cannae hit a ball out of the rough with a regular club you're nae golfer." - the liioulu with fresh baked cookies Aug 18, 15:41
        
        Huh. Oh yeah, i'm not hitting wood out of the long stuff - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:46
    - so if I can not hit a 3 iron worth a shit, a hybrid 3 would work good, yes? - groiny Aug 18, 14:29 6
      - that's the general idea, yeah. -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 14:31 5
        
        I am a monster with every iron but the 3. - groiny Aug 18, 14:32 4
        
        do you play steel or graphite stems? -- (link) - TFox Aug 18, 14:35 3
        
        I loves me my Adams irons. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 14:38
        
        I have a set of Cobra steel irons from 3 years ago. - groiny Aug 18, 14:37 1
        
        oh, i didn't mean to replace em all. just the one club. -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 14:37
- I greatly prefer them as well -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 14:16

    - Awesome. Maybe include an actual nude photo that we can compare it to. nm - Dignan Aug 18, 14:20 1
      - *hyperrealism shocker* -- nm - Max Aug 18, 14:22
- I was going to say "any nudity?" but then there it is. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 14:16 3

The real lesson of Job is, when people ask "why does God let bad things happen to good people", the answer is "to win a bet". -- nm - TFox Aug 18, 14:13 1
