      - but its so not funny most of the time. - tRuMaN Oct 9, 13:59 3
        
        Rent Season One and watch it from start to finish. You'll come around. - JaxSean Oct 9, 14:04
        
        I liked Seinfeld up until about season 4, at which point my wife loved it and I wanted a divorce. -- nm - David Oct 9, 14:01 1
        
        ok, so we arent really the same (tv wise) good good. - tRuMaN Oct 9, 14:02

- Welcome to sanity's side! -- nm - Stephen Oct 9, 13:50

  - I'm anti-glee! - David Oct 9, 13:48 2
    - they do nothing for me either, but I'm not watching it for the music anyway, watching it cause its hilarious and Rachel and Quinn are awesome to look - Jovian Oct 9, 13:50 1
      - I just realized... - nubby Oct 9, 13:53

so, who on st has started to build there "Emergency Zombie Defense Station" -- (link) - tRuMaN Oct 9, 13:39 [Image] 17
- I have an island in my back yard...that's how I'll survive the zombie attack. -- nm - BB Oct 9, 13:44 15
  - how would an island stop them? - tRuMaN Oct 9, 13:47 14
    - No, you're thinking of ghost pirates. Zombies can't swim, and they get all bloaty if they try. - Beryllium Oct 9, 13:51 1
      - ok, but in world war z (which I am gonna start reading) - tRuMaN Oct 9, 13:54
    - It's a river, and it's pretty deep...I don't think even zombies could walk across it. - BB Oct 9, 13:51 11
      - Zombies freeze. -- nm - Spawn Oct 9, 13:51 10
        
        but according to World War Z, they reanimate come spring thaw -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:53 9
        
        The more I think about it, the more I hope WWZ is made into a mini-series and not a movie -- nm - amoxy Oct 9, 14:00 1
        
        I haven't finished, but it does deserve more treatment than just two hours -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 14:01
        
        But then the river thaws, see? -- nm - Spawn Oct 9, 13:54 4
        
        the current may pull them away, but you'll still get stupid zombies from up river washing ashore due to the current -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:55 3
        
        setup a wall along the beach. -- nm - Beaker Oct 9, 13:57 2
        
        ah but setting up a wall is a tacit admission that an island alone won't save you -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:58 1
        
        The reason I don't think I have to worry about zombies walking across is that zombies can't climb - BB Oct 9, 14:04
        
        what if you chop the heads off of the frozen corpses? -- nm - znufrii Oct 9, 13:54 1
        
        I suppose that would work -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:59
- I'd replace the machete with a claymore. Longer reach -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:43
Incidentally, I'm research the scientific possiblity of carrying Bruce Springsteen's babies. - celedhring Oct 9, 13:38 2
- *researching. Hell, what's with me and gerunds today. -- nm - celedhring Oct 9, 13:39 1
  - Present progressive, actually. -- nm - mara Oct 9, 13:42
*picks the wrong moment for his balls to drop* -- nm - Matt Holliday Oct 9, 13:33 20
- neuticals -- (link) - 'lia Oct 9, 13:48
- I figure the series plays out like the season did and the Dodgers choke now that everyone thinks they've got it in the bag. -- nm - David Oct 9, 13:38 13
  - release the Smoltz! -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:43 5
    - You don't even know who is pitching tomorrow, do you? -- nm - David Oct 9, 13:48 4
      - i forget who the cards are sending but know that even if we lose that, we get Smoltz the next game -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:49 3
        
        You don't even know who is pitching game four, do you? - David Oct 9, 13:50 2
        
        Carpenter on three days' rest? yes please! -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:54
        
        he's so pretty. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:51
  - I mean, no one told the Cardinal hitters to score only 2 runs. - groiny Oct 9, 13:41 6
    - I like that Joe Torre won't even give Pujols a chance. That's very, very smart. -- nm - David Oct 9, 13:42 5
      - it's almost as if he's been to the post season and won before -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:45
      - Really...we're giving Torre credit for coming up with a plan that 99% of sports fans could and would.... - Will Hunting Oct 9, 13:43 2
        
        Maddening, innit? -- nm - David Oct 9, 13:45
        
        it is not a popular decesion, but the right one. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:44
      - of course it is. I am shocked more people don't do it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:43
- considering the boost he gave the Cards when he got there, I hope they cut him some slack. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:36 4
  - Intellectually, he should. Emotionally, its hard to forget a playoff loss when its lost by someone getting hit in the junk. -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:37 2
    - I am not worried about him, really, he is pretty grounded. - groiny Oct 9, 13:38 1
      - We'll see how StL reacts. If he was a Phillie, he probably should be packing right now. -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:40
  - agreed -- nm - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 9, 13:37
I'm also going on record as ST claiming Robin Tunney since she changed her hairdo for this season of The Mentalist - crash davis Oct 9, 13:32 11
- no way, I claimed her back when she in the craft -- nm - dogbert Oct 9, 13:38 5
  - I clained her pre-craft. - groiny Oct 9, 13:40
  - The Craft was pre-ST. Your claim is null and void. I'll give you Neve Campbell as a consolation prize. -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:39 2
    - He hasn't done anything to deserve that! - BB Oct 9, 13:40 1
      - Neve is a fair consolation prize. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:41
  - when she *was* in -- nm - dogbert Oct 9, 13:38
- I liked her bald and suicidal. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 9, 13:37
- also, the sports jersey -- nm - Max Oct 9, 13:35 1
  - while shaking to the Spice Girls, I greatly appreciated that scene -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:36
- End of Days boobies! -- nm - Shaun Oct 9, 13:33 1
  - dang, now i'll have to rewatch that turd -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:35
it looks like it's going to be darned cold in denver for the baseball game tomorrow - prayformojo, xynastic Oct 9, 13:30 5
- and catching -- nm - peglegpete Oct 9, 13:32
- Wah! Wah! It's cold! We need a new stadium with a dome! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 9, 13:32
- And the cold wind would blow right up your skirt. -- nm - Rodney Harrison Oct 9, 13:31

- Yes. Yes, it would. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 13:30
i'm walkin on sunshine -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:28 6
- back off man!!!! - Sunshine Oct 9, 13:37
- Does it burn? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 9, 13:31
- you didn't respond to my post about the blonde cheerleader who isn't Quinn. I guess this means I get to ST claim her. -- nm - crash davis Oct 9, 13:29 2
  - meh, fluff chick -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 13:30 1
    - not fluff, #1 dancer by a mile - and did you see that stretch? - crash davis Oct 9, 13:31
- "these boots were made for walking on sunshine" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 13:28
