What are the odds that we actually finish this draft before the weekend? This has been going way too slow. -- nm - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Sep 3, 07:48 10
- You mean you don't want to sit around the computer on a three day weekend? Come on! Priorities. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:53 3
  - Yeah, if we're not done by tomorrow I'm sending a draft card. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Sep 3, 07:57
  - What amazes me is this is happening even with 3 or 4 people handing in draft cards. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:54 1
    - Seriously, there's no reason everyone wasn't prepared for this. We started last and had every opportunity to make arrangements so - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Sep 3, 08:00
- Zero. We won't be done by tomorrow night. No way. - TFox Sep 3, 07:50 5
  - I used to like drafting. I thought it was the best part of fantasy sports. - Krusty - 2008 Vampirates Champion Sep 3, 07:52 4
    - I'll only say that I thought the Cavemen took 6 days this year? And we're technically on day 4 now? - TFox Sep 3, 07:56
    - During the work day it sucks. I don't have access to a computer, and I am with customers. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:54 2
      - Prepare a draft card with the next 12-16 picks you want. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:55 1
        
        That does work. I draft trends though. Once I see a couple tight ends go then I focus on a TE. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:56
I don't know what inspired this trend of hiring hot and funny chicks for SNL all of a sudden, but I like it. -- (link) - TFox Sep 3, 07:48
QB for local HS tackles girl who pulls out a gun on a bus.... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 3, 07:47 8

  - He's high school, plays both ways. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:51 4
    - [deleted]
    - Doesn't everyone in high school? :-p -- nm - MDH Sep 3, 07:52 1
      - Some people wait until college -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 07:54
    - Yeah! -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 07:51
- He was on the Today Show this morning. -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:48 1
  - Obviously. :) -- nm - nubby Sep 3, 07:51
Earlier tweet from Chad Ochocinco: "I set aside a 100 grand for my fines already,fun=production in my book!!" Oh dear. -- nm - Shaun Sep 3, 07:43 9
- See fun may = production for him. Fun = distraction for the team. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:44 6
  - I don't buy that. No way Chad getting fined for a TD celebration or a funny outfit or quote actually impacts the team. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:45 5
    - (or, at least, not in a bad way) -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:45 4
      - Some guys might get offended that he gets all attention. Reporters ask them, "what do you think about Chad?" - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:48 3
        
        If he runs his routes, beats his coverage, and catches his passes then it's all just fun. If not then suddenly it's a big deal. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:02
        
        I just don't think this happens, really. Maybe if he wasn't funny. Or if he wasn't trying. - TFox Sep 3, 07:49 1
        
        The old Ocho is Chad Johnson. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:51
- This is why I love Ochocinco. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:44 1
  - I agree completely - MDH Sep 3, 07:47
hmm, I wonder which STer this would be ... :) -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 3, 07:37 1
- i read it as ... - zork Sep 3, 07:45
Weird. I usually look forward to seeing boobies. BusinessWeek complains it will be the death of Twitter -- (link) - oblique Sep 3, 07:36 8
- Because porn is so unpopular on the Internet -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 07:42
- I can't stand twitter so I'm okay with this -- nm - MDH Sep 3, 07:40 3
  - twitter is for old people. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:42 2
    - :-p haha. The actual joke is "Twitter is for poor people" -- nm - MDH Sep 3, 07:43 1
      - heh. maybe that's what you young people think, but I know a lot of yuppies on twitter. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:53
- I get those followers. It's kind of gross. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:37
- [deleted]
- Tits for Tweets? -- nm - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:37
Would the US ever take a scientist/astronaut up on the idea of a one-way trip to Mars? -- (link) - oblique Sep 3, 07:31 4
- I would think no, as too much could go wrong (he gets injured/incapacitated) and then all the money is wasted. -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 07:36
- Get your astronaut to Mars. -- nm - Arnie Sep 3, 07:35
- I nominate Nubby! -- nm - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:34

With the Wii browser now working with YouTube, I checked out the full length movies on YouTube. Man, if you think Netflix's collection is bad... -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 07:27
Qale and other Anime fans....company ADV has been broken up..... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 3, 07:25
Budice Foley NWBR -- nm - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:24 1
- Ah, the section of the draft where one can use Pink Floyd's The Wall as the Jeopardy song. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:25
Curse you library hold system! Now I have to read Mortal Prey *and* Cemetery Dance - oblique Sep 3, 07:22 4
- *love* the Prey series (still boggles me that no one has turned Rules of Prey into a movie yet) -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 07:23 3
  - They did. A really bad TV movie. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 3, 07:33 2
    - Netflix link -- (link) - oblique Sep 3, 07:41
    - Details here -- (link) - oblique Sep 3, 07:40
So the video of the "huge zit that gets popped" thats's viral on facebook...turns out it's actually a staph infection that you shouldn't pop -- (link) - MDH Sep 3, 07:21 10
- I *have* to show this to mrs. zork on the plasma -- nm - zork Sep 3, 07:44
- This is the worst thing I've ever witnessed on an IMAX screen. -- nm - LMS Sep 3, 07:29 3
  - why are you checking your facebook on an IMAX screen? -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 07:39 2
    - I was being really social. - LMS Sep 3, 07:43
    - I think if you could, you would, don't you? -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 07:42
- *vomit* -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:26
- one of the few times I'm glad facebook is blocked at work. -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 07:22 2
  - see, i was thinking its one of the many times I'm glad I have a functioning right index finger that obeys my commands. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:24 1
    - I'm grateful he warned us so I never have to see. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:35
- Reason #4,922 why YouTube is sort of the worst thing ever. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:22
Reading the Sawx Nation message boards lately has become a real treat. Yes, it's schadenfreude, but I've suffered. -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:19 12
- what does schandenfreude mean - I have seen the word before - just do not now what it means -- nm - Epiphany Sep 3, 07:27 9
  - "happiness from other people's misery". -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:28 7
    - It's amazing how quickly we flipped from totally insane to the complete opposite kind of totally insane. - TFox Sep 3, 07:31 5
      - The various reactions to how Smoltz, Penny and Lugo are doing is particularly interesting. -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:40 4
        
        My stepfather at dinner last night, watching the game: "That's it, Beckett's done." - TFox Sep 3, 07:43 3
        
        What does he consider a good pitcher? - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:49 1
        
        He's too big of a Pats fan to remember that one bad baseball game is different than one bad football game. - TFox Sep 3, 07:54
        
        Reminds me of those comment boards. -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:48
    - "That *is* German" -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 07:28
  - taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. schade = bad freude=joy -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 07:28
- my roomate is a Sox fan. He went to bed last night in disgust. It's been a lot of fun :) -- nm - decline Sep 3, 07:25
- man, *I* don't even think I could handle that. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:21
~and honey you'll always be the only one for me ~ - Epiphany Sep 3, 07:16
LYC: One of the people at work who was causing me so much grief has "quit." - loosilu Sep 3, 07:15 14
- this is great news! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 3, 07:58
- It's lovely when this happens -- nm - con_carne Sep 3, 07:41

Best post on B3 regarding a pending physical altercation: -- (link) - Beaker Sep 3, 07:14 [Backboard] 4
- Awesome. And for the record...Stacy is by no means the only person who can't handle it. There's plenty. I could make a pretty lengthy list. -- nm - Jim Sep 3, 07:19 3
  - Yeah, on a bad day anyone can blow. - Redmond, GO DUCKS!!! Sep 3, 07:43 1
    - *unzips* - groiny Sep 3, 07:48
  - also true -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:21
DMHiking -- Rainbow Falls, Verkeerderkill Falls, or Sky Top? -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 07:12 1
- also, beyond providing individual trail guides, trails.com is kind of useless. - znufrii Sep 3, 07:21
"It's just a fucking june bug, calm down. Jesus Christ, what happens when something bigger than a testicle attacks you?" -- nm - oblique Sep 3, 07:11 1
- Some of Justin's dad's comments makes me curious about the family Justin's dad says this stuff to. -- nm - Diva Sep 3, 07:31
So apparently some guy in Texas thinks he captured the chupacabra? -- (link) - MDH Sep 3, 07:08 3

I think the devil is following me around today. I've a splitting headache from hell and when I was in the shop today my purchases came to 6.66 - Loyola Sep 3, 06:57

Sports Poll: If you were a GM and you were forced to give 1 player in baseball a 10-yr contract right now, who would it be? - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:45 32
- Sub Poll: what pitcher(s) would you consider such a contract for? -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 07:06 15
  - Like I said below, Felix. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 07:18
  - None. Mark Prior put the final nail in that coffin for me. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:10 11
    - [deleted] 10
      - I can't wait for him to underperform. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:12 9
        
        What would underperform for him even be? His numbers in college are unattainable. - TFox Sep 3, 07:18 8
        
        Underperform for me is if he's league-average. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:21 7
        
        I can hang with that. I can especially hang with that in year 2. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:23 4
        
        In year 2, if he's at a 4+, you gotta worry, I think. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:24 3
        
        Ben's first year or so, he dominated. After that was the big dropoff. - Inigo Sep 3, 07:29 2
        
        Not really....he had 1 or 2 starts in 1990 off the bat where he was good. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:33 1
        
        in 90, he was 8-5 with a 2.43 era. He was pretty dominant then. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 07:49
        
        on the Nats that would make him a freakin; all star. -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 07:22 1
        
        The Nats offense is better than the Giants. If he's a good MLB pitcher, he'll do fine there. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 07:23
  - [deleted] 1
    - yes -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:08
- Hanley Ramirez or Felix Hernandez. I think Longoria is overrated. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 06:59
- [deleted] 13
  - The only thing that worries me about him is catchers are notorious for being done even earlier than most positional players. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:51 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - That and he already has a history of injuries. -- nm - Inigo Sep 3, 07:12
  - yeah, I think that would be a wise choice. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 3, 06:51 9
    - Yeah, him and Pujols would be my 2/3. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:52 8
      - [deleted] 3
        
        Kick out Braun, put in Pujols, and you have my list. Even old, I prefer 7 years of Pujols with 3 years of nostalgia to 10 of Braun. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:04 2
        
        I also lie. Kick out Mauer, put in Longoria. -- nm - TFox Sep 3, 07:05
        
        [deleted]
      - I think Ryan Braun would be a decent choice. - groiny Sep 3, 06:54 3
        
        Braun isn't good enough in the field for me. - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:56 2
        
        I look at position scarcity as well. SO Hanley would also be a good choice. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 3, 06:57 1
        
        Yeah, he'd be a good one. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:58
- not sure, but it would not be a pitcher. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 3, 06:48
kelly, redmond, budice, foley and NWBR...let's finish this thing sometime before the season!!! -- nm - Jim Sep 3, 06:43 2
- *crying* - TFox Sep 3, 07:10
- Kelly's pick is in. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 3, 06:51
LYC beer and pizza update: 3 slices *and* a 40oz and I still got wasted. Man I'm a cheap date. -- nm - Hotkiss Sep 3, 06:40 1
- wasted off of a 40? lightweight. -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 06:59
