late to the backboard party, but just FYI, pizza boxes are totally recyclable. Arlington takes them as long as there's no junk in the trunk. -- (link) - Max Aug 19, 09:52

  - yeah, there is that..... nm -- nm - groiny Aug 19, 09:45
- One thing the Chiefs should think about is calling McHoody. I'm sure he'd take Cassel in a heartbeat. nm - Jim Aug 19, 09:44

- that's a man. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 09:50 5
  - certainly looks like it, in the face -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:51 4
    - It's not about the face, imo. I've seen lots of women with mannish features. Her physique looks *very* masculine. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:54 2
      - yep - those shoulders are v. v. broad. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 09:55 1
        
        And no hips either. Obviously this sucks for her if she's just got a abnormal physique (what top athletes don't?), but it is *very* different. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:57
    - and there's a pic of that man stepping on a Kenyan woman's face. i hope he didn't mean to do that. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 09:53
- Shouldn't that be a really frickin easy test? Check her/him out and if it's an outty...DUDE!!! -- nm - Jim Aug 19, 09:31 11
  - It's a really insulting test though, if she is a woman. -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 09:49

    - define "man" - znufrii Aug 19, 09:45
  - there's a constant paranoia in sports circles that men have altered themselves to look like women, so they can compete more easily. - Beryllium Aug 19, 09:32 6
    - Ya know...if a dude is willing to remove THAT...well, that's dedication that deserves to be rewarded with a gold medal. -- nm - Jim Aug 19, 09:33 4

- and no sign of a 'letter of transit' :(( -- nm - peglegpete Aug 19, 09:28
totally agree it's horrible that rejection letters have disappeared, especially since it's earier than even now with email. - zork Aug 19, 09:21 2
- it's kind of a function of applicant tracking systems. Everything is de-personalized. - Callisto Aug 19, 09:27
- It's great to know why. One place I had the job but they went belly up. Other place their bosses didn't like that I wasn't expeirence in their industr - lileve Aug 19, 09:23

- i just changed my name to not be my actual name, and made my twitter private. not that i ever use it, but still. -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 09:34 2
  - *is glad Andie is not who we just hired cause she'd be ruining all our fun! {nm} - Banzai! Aug 19, 09:36 1

- this is totally fun, you can't let her know, but use all this acquired knowledge in future interactions with her -- nm - GWAA Aug 19, 09:22
- You should totally use the inside Twitter info to win bets with her. - musubi Aug 19, 09:21
- Someone who you just hired is twittering and complaining about their new job? - Subversive Aug 19, 09:20 5
  - One of my friends who is a manager in my dept. hired her. She is not thrilled atm. - Banzai! Aug 19, 09:23 3
    - it's just not smart to twitter/facebook about work stuff. -- nm - Callisto Aug 19, 09:27 2
      - Nope...but it's fun to watch someone screw themselves over by doing so. :) {nm} - Banzai! Aug 19, 09:32 1
        
        oh, I've seen co-workers do it. It blows me away. -- nm - Callisto Aug 19, 09:35
  - That's awesome! -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 19, 09:22
Man it's depressing reading Garth Turner's blog. -- nm - Subversive Aug 19, 09:16
Walt Disney - i think if people are older and seem to be going quickly, it's less worrisome than someone, say, 21 doing it. - Andie Aug 19, 09:15 11
- As a marriage officiant, I'd say a middle aged person in a Love at First Sight situation is in more trouble than a 20something - zeitgeist Aug 19, 09:44
- Thanks for everyones insights on this.....they dont plan to get married for a while or move in together for a few months.... - Walt_Disney Aug 19, 09:33 6

  - i'm all for moving in quickly if you want to. no better way to test it. -- nm - Andie Aug 19, 09:35
- and yet I think the 30somethings are more likely to be circumspect about it and take longer to propose while the 21s would be the more impulsive. - Max Aug 19, 09:20 1

- A Tale of Two Springfields, Homer Vs. Dignity, Day of the Jackanapes, Hungry, Hungry Homer, and Kim's favorite, Insane Clown Poppy. - David Aug 19, 09:16 3
  - It's staggering that our lists have no overlap. - musubi Aug 19, 09:19 2
    - I like all of the episodes you name except for Praiseland, but these are my favorites. - David Aug 19, 09:21 1
      - I didn't realize "Maya Angelou is black?" was from Insane Clown Poppy. I love that line. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:30
- Is this the one with the Glee crossover ep? -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 09:09

  - Of course. That Mauer's even this close, this late is amazing. - musubi Aug 19, 09:11

        Not funny. In a related note, Tom Verducci is dead to me. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:14
    - [deleted]
  - Yeah...and Ichiro's going to be .365'ish and still not win. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:08 25
    - Ichiro's .365 is soft. At least Mauer has 20+ homers in there too. - groiny Aug 19, 09:10 24
      - Oh, I know it's soft...but that's still a damn high average. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:12 23
        
        yup, it is a shame he hits all those singles and can not score. - groiny Aug 19, 09:14 22
        
        I still boggle at the stat that he scored *2* runs in June and 1 of them at least was himself on a Home Run. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:15 21
        
        sorry, 2 RBI in the month he hit .407 -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:16 20
        
        The most amazing is still Luis Castillo with 17(!) RBI in a season where he hit .334 over ~540 at-bats. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:26 19
        
        aah, that was the year Erstad set the hits record.... - groiny Aug 19, 09:31 18
        
        Erstad had one good year. Dude was never that good. - musubi Aug 19, 09:34 11
        
        GG caliber outfielder, 10-15 homer power, .300 avg, 30+ steals - groiny Aug 19, 09:36 10
        
        For one season. Look at *every* other season he played, you see which one was the outlier and which was the real Erstad. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:38 9
        
        I understand. But his knees are a big part of that. - groiny Aug 19, 09:39 8
        
        Meh. Jimmy Edmonds lasted a long time going all out, and he didn't get to rest at 1B and DH like Erstad. - musubi Aug 19, 09:41 7
        
        .282 career average, even with a handful of sub .260 years. - groiny Aug 19, 09:43 6
        
        If you get to throw out his sub-.260 years, I get to throw out his +.300 year. - musubi Aug 19, 09:48
        
        Plus, all the roids from football caught up to him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:43 4
        
        He was a *punter*. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:46 2
        
        You don't think punters ain't candidates for roids? Todd Sauerbrun.... - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:48 1

        Erstad never got close to the hits record? - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:34 5
        
        240 hits...that's kinda close -- nm - Jim Aug 19, 09:38 1
        
        Ahh, I forgot he got that close that year. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 09:40
        
        Erstad tied Boggs for the post '47 (integration) hits record, till Ichiro crushed it. (nm) - musubi Aug 19, 09:38
