- Step 2: put a nail in it. Step 3: world domination. -- nm - David Sep 3, 18:12 1
  - Spare me your evil plans, Joker! -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 18:13

OK ST: How old is too old to wear a miniskirt? Apparently I should have quit at 30. -- (link) - loosilu Sep 3, 17:48 13
- I remember this San Fran politician named Barbara Kaufman (who was as conservative as you can get in SF) wore minis - zeitgeist Sep 3, 18:12
- I have no view on your fashion choices, but in general, I think women over 40 who wear miniskirts are usually trying too hard. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 3, 18:08 4
  - hmmmm, maybe. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 18:11 2
    - I think it depends on the miniskirt, really. -- nm - Callisto Sep 3, 18:12 1
      - to clarify: I am not talking micro-minis. I think those really are for the young. -- nm - loosilu Sep 3, 18:13
  - (To clarify, I'm sure you look great in a mini. I'm just mildly agreeing with the article.) nm - ralph wiggum Sep 3, 18:10

- Who would want to live in a town called Jericho? That sounds like a recipe for bad news. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 17:47
- sounds like a New Rome, Ohio situation. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 17:45 4
  - Holy crap! You guys know about that?! That was right on the other side of town. The state wrote a law just so they could disband New Rome. -- nm - TWuG Sep 3, 17:50 2
    - Yeah, I remember coming across a page of complaints about it somewhat randomly several years ago. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 17:51 1
      - New Rome has its own Wiki page -- (link) - TWuG Sep 3, 17:59
  - I was thinking Pale Horse Coming by Stephen Hunter (kickass book) -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 17:47

- Your season's low point will be when you trade for Francoeur. -- nm - David Sep 3, 17:45 5
  - .301 avg, .826 OPS since the trade. 31 RBI in 47 games as a Met (35 in 82 games with Atlanta) - Tim Sep 3, 17:50 4

      - Unassisted triple plays for everybody! -- nm - Tim Sep 3, 17:56 2

The new crystal thing blows goats. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 3, 17:05 12
- Depending on when the upgrade rolls out, I should just about finish my last research (my 2nd futuristic) -- nm - Guigue Sep 3, 17:13
- agree on cyrstal. not on the newbies, if I was new and someone occupied me I would probably just quit. -- nm - Beaker Sep 3, 17:07 1
  - which has happened already -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 17:12
- The newbie thing really doesn't last very long. -- nm - psiTouch Sep 3, 17:06 8
  - oh, and I'm racing to finish research before they update. -- nm - psiTouch Sep 3, 17:07 1
    - I turned off research to build my army and town halls. Then I got attacked today and put everything on a war footing. I'm running a deficit now. - TWuG Sep 3, 17:09
  - I only pick on the inactive ones anyway. -- nm - the liioulu with script Sep 3, 17:07 5
    - You can't occupy inactives. Lots of times, the best way to get past a big inactive's navy is via occupying a new 40 point colony. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 3, 17:09 4
      - My problem is too many high level towns on islands with inactives. - the liioulu with script Sep 3, 17:13 2
        
        upgrade your Palce one level more than everything else. setup an MPC, turn off production in all other cities - Beaker Sep 3, 17:16 1
        
        That may be my next step. - the liioulu with script Sep 3, 17:21
      - Easy way around that: Tell them what's in it for them and have them launch an attack on you. That nullifies the protection. -- nm - TWuG Sep 3, 17:11

  - Ryan and Flacco probably have some blame in that. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 17:10 3
    - I thought he was the best QB in a really lousy QB draft, yeah. - David Sep 3, 17:18 2
      - Yeah, that was a pretty weak draft for QBs. - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 3, 17:23 1
        
        To date, I don't think there is any debate that Edwards has shown by far the most. -- nm - David Sep 3, 17:26

- Glenn Beck is looking pretty good for a 1st-string wack job. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 16:57

    - So he has uncharted powers of improbability? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 16:47 1
      - Uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with script Sep 3, 17:05

I wonder about the thought processes of over-courteous drivers sometimes. No, I'm not turning left in front of you, because I don't think the stream - Reagen Sep 3, 15:27 3

- this is such a common accident - 2 lanes to cross - closest one waives you through - next lane over - driver clueless - el smacko -- nm - JenBro Sep 3, 15:38 1
  - This is why I have always had a hatred of turning left in city driving. Advance left is the greatest invention ever. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 3, 16:02
Hee, this ones for you....... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Sep 3, 15:17 [Image]
Did 1 sign with dad, he got tired after putting up a total of 6 signs today, we will start again in the morning. -- nm - Stacy Sep 3, 15:15 7
