- Paint first then buy furniture then unpack. -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 11:38 1
  - and Congrats! -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 11:38
- hooray! -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 11:38
- Congrats! I agree with znu, just unpack what you must and deal with the boxes for a bit. -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 11:35
- WTF didn't znu get it done? - Spawn Sep 8, 11:32
- I would say, only unpack what you need until the painting is done, and you have places to put everything. -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:32
- Paint before unpacking, but you can unpack before getting the new furniture. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:32
~Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down, just get back up when it knocks you down~ -- nm - Epiphany Sep 8, 11:29 1
- I get knocked down. But I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down. -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:30
"Maybe you'll get Christian Bale next week. We'll let him execute a cinematographer." -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:29
LYC: Haha, my Dad's van is on Google Maps. - lileve Sep 8, 11:14 3
- Um, not this one I hope -- (link) - oblique Sep 8, 11:16 2
  - Is there any word on when Google Street View Canada will launch? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:16
  - No no. -- nm - lileve Sep 8, 11:16
Name the 5 NFL QBs with the lowest Yards Per Vertical Pass Attempts (more info inside) since 2006 (minimum 300 vertical pass attempts). - Dano Sep 8, 11:13 38
- Who tops this list ? (did I miss it on the backboard ?) - Jammed Uzi Sep 8, 11:32 6
  - Tom Brady. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 11:39 1
    - Sigh. - Will Hunting Sep 8, 11:40
  - I don't know... they only listed the bottom 5. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:36 1
    - 'kay -- nm - Jammed Uzi Sep 8, 11:36
  - here -- (link) - Spawn Sep 8, 11:33 [Backboard]
  - (the list of Most yards per VP attempt) -- nm - Jammed Uzi Sep 8, 11:33
- Leftwich? -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:31
- #3 inside (will have another NFL guessing game on the next board) - Dano Sep 8, 11:31 1
  - Oh well, 2/3 for me. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:32
- Hasselback -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:27 1
  - #5 lowest with 9.8 YPVPA -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:27
- Cutler? he had a TON of attempts -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:26
- Vick -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:26
- Kurt Warner -- nm - Jammed Uzi Sep 8, 11:22 7
  - Farve! -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:24 1
    - #4 lowest with 9.7 YPVPA -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:25
  - He's more likely to be the opposite. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:23 4
    - Yeah, it helps to have receivers who can rack up YAC on top of the big throws. -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:24 3
      - But at least the vertical pass attempt eliminates screen passes that go for big gains. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:26 1
        
        Hmm, now that you've ruled out Westbrook, I'm thinking McNabb may qualify. -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:27
      - Yah,,, I just saw the IM of Dano's message -- nm - Jammed Uzi Sep 8, 11:26
- Garcia and Kitna if he qualifies -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:22
- Orton, Collins, Roethlisberger -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:21
- Jason Campbell -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 11:21 7
  - #1 lowest with 8.9 YPVPA -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:21 6
    - Can you explain the math a little more if the attempt minimum is 11 yards? -- nm - Max Sep 8, 11:23 5
      - An incomplete pass still counts as 0 yards on the attempt. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:25
      - You gotta figure many of those attempts were not completed, hence average yardage goes down. -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:24 3
        
        So does this translate as "Campbell can't throw a short toss to save his life"? -- nm - Max Sep 8, 11:26 2
        
        No it means that Campbell sucks trying to throw anything BUT the short toss. -- nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:26 1
        
        this is why I don't play in fantasy leagues. -- nm - Max Sep 8, 11:27
- Young? -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 11:20
- Flacco? -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:19 1
  - I doubt he has 300 vertical pass attempts. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:20
- Eli Manning -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:17 1
  - #2 lowest with 9.1 YPVPA -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:17
- Pennington -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:14
It's amazing how lazy I am. It just occurred to me how I would circumnavigate the globe under sail ... wait for the north pole to melt, then sail it. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:11
nmb TFox... - Krusty Sep 8, 11:05 2
- seconded. -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:36
- train + bridge = wisdom. thank you sir. :) -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:11

- Made for terminators. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 11:06
Tales from the directionally incompetent. -- (link) - loosilu Sep 8, 11:00 7
- I can relate to her. Not the crazy, but getting lost anywhere, anytime. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 11:18 1
  - I get lost sometimes, but not like this. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:22
- related: Is there a test or something one can take to figure out if they are directionally challenged? - loosilu Sep 8, 11:03 4
  - Look North. Now point East. - TWuG Sep 8, 11:05 3
    - Also, if at any point during the above quiz you stopped to ask "Which way is North", you fail -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 11:09 2
      - I can do that easily. but I think there is more to it than that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:09 1
        
        (however I am quite certain if I brought my mom and sis here, they wouldn't be able to find the bathroom) - loosilu Sep 8, 11:10
Half of the Top 10 in the FCS Poll comes from the Colonial Athletic Association. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 10:56 2
- You mean 1-AA. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 8, 11:00 1
  - Speaking of... You know how 1-A can't seem to make a playoff happen? 1-AA is expanding to a 20 team playoff next year. -- nm - Dano Sep 8, 11:05
An Aboriginal tour group operator has claimed that tourists are defecating at the top of Uluru (Ayres Rock), one of Australia�s most iconic and - Loyola Sep 8, 10:52 42
- *blames Guy* -- nm - oblique Sep 8, 10:56 5
  - didn't guy or znu post a similar story a few months ago about a US park having a similar problem? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:21 2
    - couple years ago I think, and it was definitely not Guy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:28
    - I didn't see it, but I'm not surprised at all. - znufrii Sep 8, 11:27
  - *kicks his ass in Backgammon yet again* -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 10:57 1
    - i cannot catch a break! -- nm - Guy Sep 8, 10:59
- *stops eating lunch* -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 10:56 35
  - Sorry. I couldn't stop laughing when I read it. -- nm - Loyola Sep 8, 10:58 34
    - can you put the gross stuff inside? -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:04 32
      - Yes, the more genteel phrasing would be "dropped a deuce." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 8, 11:25
      - he wrote the word "defecating". if this is gross, how am i even here? -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:12 6
        
        *laughing* -- nm - kelly Sep 8, 11:19
        
        I'm pretty sure I've called you out on it. plus it's the image that's groos. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:13 4
        
        i'm sure you have, but you can't blame the poor guy for reading, say, any ST board ever, and thinking "defecating" would be safe territory. -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:14 3
        
        Well, I didn't intend to set off a health-care level of debate here, just said I think it's gross. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:23
        
        maybe it was "aboriginal tour group" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:20 1
        
        I'm betting it was "rock" -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:21
      - Sure, hang on while I crank up my way back machine. -- nm - Loyola Sep 8, 11:07
      - that hardly rates more than a 4 on the grossness scale, imho. -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:06 22
        
        Everyone has their own personal grossness scale, especially when it comes to poopies. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:07
        
        grossness is subjective. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:07 20
        
        but it's a catch 22 because if he hadn't included the gross part in the subject line you would have clicked to the IM and read it anyway, no? -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:08 19
        
        It would have been a let down for sure -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 11:09 3
        
        I think if by now STers haven't learned to avoid posts that say "gross TMI inside" we might as well just shut down ST for good. -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 11:10 2
        
        but if he'd posted 'gross TMI' I'd have expected something really gross. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being Dawson's weekend, that was a 2 (YMMV) -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 11:15
        
        indeed, and I appreciate them. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:12
        
        I guess that would be a challenge to him as a writer. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:08 14
        
        I don't think it's necessarily the writer's responsibility to try and please everyone. - znufrii Sep 8, 11:09 13
        
        then why do people user spoiler and TMI warnings here? -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:11 12
        
        because there's a reasonable expectation of sensitivity to the preferences of a majority of people here. (supergross TMI spoiler inside) - znufrii Sep 8, 11:14 1
        
        that's pretty gross but it's no (gross TMI inside) - Roger More Sep 8, 11:17
        
        Boundaries are like assholes. Everyone has one, and no one wants to have a constructive dialogue about proper maintenance. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:13 9 1
        
        brilliant -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 11:17
        
        this made me laugh. -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:15 7
        
        I've been trying to find a way to use the "are like a-holes" line all weekend, it just came to fruition now. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:15 6
        
        it was elegant and well-played, sir. -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:17 4
        
        I re-watched Season 1 of house over the weekend. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:19 3
        
        Does S1 of House hold up well, in your opinion? -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 11:23 2
        
        yes, although I was surprised by the fact that (spoils) - Beryllium Sep 8, 11:25 1
        
        God yes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:26
        
        "Excuses are like a-holes. Everyone has one, and they all stink." -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 11:17
    - it's not funny, really. these people give all hikers a bad name. -- nm - znufrii Sep 8, 10:59
How bad am I: A friend just called me to say Maya Angelou is coming to UMD. My reply "Maya Angelou is indufferable" - MDH Sep 8, 10:51 16
- I dunno about annoying, but she sure is overrated. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 10:55 1
  - You need to hear her skit on her. Try and listen to Kathy's new cd -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 10:59
- If there's anyone who knows 'annoying', I guess it would be Kathy Griffin. -- nm - kelly Sep 8, 10:54 11
  - Word. nm - Jim Sep 8, 11:04
  - *ding!* -- nm - TFox Sep 8, 11:00
  - It's her schtick -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 10:58
  - I think she's funny. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 10:55
  - She may be annoying but she's funny as hell - MDH Sep 8, 10:55 5
    - You sit on a throne of lies. The next funny thing she says in her life will be the first. -- nm - David Sep 8, 11:10
    - Yeah but Kathy Griffin calling someone out about their annoying voice is pure chutzpah -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 11:03 3
      - Again, it's her schtick -- nm - con_carne Sep 8, 11:29
      - I think she'd be the first to admit that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 11:04 1
        
        Oh, I'm pretty sure it's the reason she said it. She'll have a go at Fran Drescher next -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 11:06
  - I'm ashamed she's on my D list. -- nm - Inigo Sep 8, 10:55
- "indufferable"? like, she sings like hillary duff? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 10:52 1
  - insufferable :-p -- nm - MDH Sep 8, 10:54
I played the lottery twice, and didn't even win once! -- nm - Andiesi Sep 8, 10:51 5
- you probably don't want to know i won passes to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs today too, huh? -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:07 3
  - Oh, I'm very glad you did. I just think you're wasting your superpower on small things. - Inigo Sep 8, 11:13 2
    - She should enter no contests for a month and then buy a lottery ticket -- nm - Roger More Sep 8, 11:18 1
      - *gasp*, i'm not sure i can do that. -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 11:20
- heh. -- nm - loosilu Sep 8, 10:54
Fine, I'll roll it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 10:49 2
- "I said *roll* the film, not *bowl* the film!" -- nm - Gary Gnu Sep 8, 10:51
- dough? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 10:50
