Someone had asked about Flash Forward season 2.. - GWAA Oct 2, 16:01 6
- I watched the first ep last night after trolling the discussions for so long. It was meh, but I think I'm over dramas. -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 2, 16:07

Not only did Chicago lose, they came in last in the first round. - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 15:23
Whoa, now HERE'S a weekend project! -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:23
I think we've for gotten how to lose graciously. Every loss, big or small, seems to be treated as an enormous failure and reason to be angry. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 15:23 8
- I think people were always like this, and in about the same amounts. We just hear from more of them now. -- nm - mara Oct 2, 15:31 4

- Da Mare rarely loses. - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 15:25
- It's the Jovian way -- nm - oblique Oct 2, 15:23
As much as NBC certainly must have been rooting for Chicago, they can't be too upset about being able to put filler shots of Ipanema Beach. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 15:18 7
- At least there isn't going to be as much of a time shift issue like with past games. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 2, 16:04 1
  - NBC time shifts it no matter where it is. - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 16:10
- I hope they throw the marathon up a few hills as well for the scenery. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 15:24 2

jets/saints is the only matchup of 2 3-0s this weekend, right? -- nm - prayformojo, Xynast Oct 2, 15:08 1

- You've been served -- nm - Chris Evert's lawyer Oct 2, 15:07
In fairness to the Obama,you'd have to say that if he hadn't gone and Chicago had still lost, he'd be taking flak right now for not going. - Loyola Oct 2, 15:05 10
- in fairness to the US viewers, if Chicago won, NBC still would have fucked us on the live events -- nm - peglegpete Oct 2, 15:09
- [deleted] 8
  - and as I said, I don't think it would have been warranted. It's just another symptom of people being stupid all over. - Reagen Oct 2, 15:11 3
    - Da Mare would have made sure he didn't get all the credit. - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 15:55

    - Your IM is like an ST raison d'etre :-P -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 15:13
  - Was there ever this big public demand to host yet another Olympics? I never saw it. -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 15:08 3
    - Da Mare said there was and he's always right. - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 15:52 2
      - why don't you just kill him and be happy -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 16:06 1

VLIR: One square of toliet paper? WTF? - oblique Oct 2, 14:59
Olympic Top Ten! - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 14:47 7
- It does seem effing trivial to host an Olympics while you've been waging war overseas for seven years -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 14:53 3
  - Eight. - BB Oct 2, 15:56
  - Anderson Cooper? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:41 1

My Flash Forward thought is that Christine Woods really does look a lot like Sprague Grayden. -- nm - Todd Manning Oct 2, 14:21
[deleted] 22
- When do you not? - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 15:55
- Wouldn't you be thinking "What a waste of alcohol?" -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 2, 14:32
- The fact that you're choosing that over drinking the alcohol is very disturbing. Maybe you should go home. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 14:32 13
  - [deleted] 12
    - That's the market. You guys (from what you've said before) have been getting better than most of the market so far. -- nm - pmb Oct 2, 14:43 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Yes. Absolutely. - pmb Oct 2, 14:49 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        There's plenty of talent available at this point. That was the argument for the run up in salaries, but all it really did was seriously hurt the - pmb Oct 2, 14:58 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Fair point. There are lots of talented people at lower ranked schools and not everyone at top schools is great. - pmb Oct 2, 15:16
    - I wish I had a bonus. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:39 4
      - [deleted] 1
        
        *nodding at your IM* I'm just here to provide context... -- nm - landbeck Oct 2, 14:52
      - Heh. We might not even get a raise this year. Which actually doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. -- nm - mara Oct 2, 14:41 1
        
        We didn't last year (even cost-of-living), but we plan to this year. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:45
- I don't think you should be near any open flame. Ever. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 2, 14:21 1

- Very. - nubby Oct 2, 14:21 1
  - doh! -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 2, 14:33
- i'm pretty sure mythbusters disproved a match lighting alcohol in that fashion -- nm - GWAA Oct 2, 14:21
- just so you can be resuced by some firefighters? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 14:21
I'm hungry and all I've got in my office is marshmallows. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:14 8
- Update: there *was* a package of marshmallows in my office. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:22
- carve the marshmellows into the faces of those you hate the most, then roast them with a lighter. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 14:16 6
  - But I barely remember what pixie looks like. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:17 5
    - like a voodoo doll, it doesnt have to be identical, just a reference for your mind. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 14:20 3
      - um, since when did you become a licensed witch doctor? that may not be how voodoo dolls really work at all -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 14:23 1
        
        thats what she said. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 2, 14:27
      - Okay, I'll just find a photo of Rivers Cuomo online. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:20
    - Frank Whaley -- nm - shamu Oct 2, 14:19
Chicago got waxed - con_carne Oct 2, 14:13 33
- I have to wonder if this issue won't bring the most stupid for the buck from the right-wing commentariat during Obama's presidency - Reagen Oct 2, 14:27 30
  - [deleted] 14
    - What other stuff? It was right for him to go, but I always thought it surprising that people thought it was make or break. - pmb Oct 2, 14:47 3
      - It's a tempest in a teapot. It was a chance to sell the US. Obama went. - TWuG Oct 2, 14:53 1

    - I recently heard it compared to Carter's 'killer rabbit' moment. An example of bad politicking? Not really. Still embarrassing? Yeah. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 14:44 9
      - I guess that Obama fellow couldn't quite do i--HOLY FUCK look at that beautiful country!!! -- nm - the world Oct 2, 14:50
      - [deleted] 7
        
        which is what I'm saying, but then you have people saying things like how Obama's presidency is basically over and wondering how he'll negotiate with - Reagen Oct 2, 14:49 6
        
        Who's saying that? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 14:59 4
        
        Weekly Standard (though they quickly realized they were being stupid), Red State, Rush, Newt -- (link) - Reagen Oct 2, 15:03 3
        
        Cool, thanks for the link. I will agree... - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:10 2
        
        I'm fairly certain the last 8 years helped us to lose the Olympics, though. Obama is great, but he can't turn around that much ill will. -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 15:19 1
        
        in such a short time, esp. while those two wars are still raging -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 15:20

  - What do you expect the 'point' to be? - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 14:38 10
    - Every country sent a head of state. Were they narcissistic too? Does the Japanese PM committ hara kiri now? - Reagen Oct 2, 14:53 9
      - Has a U.S. President ever gone? What other countries do isn't really relevant. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:04 8
        
        it's relevant if someone's saying he went because of narcissism. -- nm - Reagen Oct 2, 15:09 7
        
        Uh... not really. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:15 6
        
        Well that's more about whether it was the right decision or not. I'm addressing the specific charge of narcissism. - Reagen Oct 2, 15:22 5
        
        "a" head of state vs. "the" head of state, maybe? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:24 4
        
        there is only one head of state. - Reagen Oct 2, 15:28 3
        
        Yeah, I would like a monarchy as well. - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 15:33 2
        
        Heh. I can see why the title of King might not go over in the US, but if you do it right - Reagen Oct 2, 15:38
        
        Hee. I'm over here thinking, "Hmm. Arnold will be out of a job soon." -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 15:37
  - I don't know why he went at all. Should have left it to Michelle and restricted himself to making positive sounding pronouncements re an Olympics - Loyola Oct 2, 14:38 1
    - I suspect that he still owes Daley more than one favor. -- nm - the liioulu with wind and rain Oct 2, 16:00
  - Illinois is a pretty solid blue sta... ah, who am I kidding anymore? What TWuG says. -- nm - con_carne Oct 2, 14:35
  - Never underestimate stupidity. -- nm - TWuG Oct 2, 14:33
- I don't get it. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 2, 14:15 1
  - Alright, it's the landing strip for you. -- nm - nubby Oct 2, 14:15
