- So he got it just for being a minority president? Really? -- nm - lileve Oct 9, 17:26 1
  - That's just the external nomination, not the committee descision. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 9, 17:35

  - He just got it because he's not Dubya. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 17:23 10
    - Yup. Which frankly, I find bogglingly immature. - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 17:28 9
      - all peace prizes are clearly a political choice - Danedukenuuk Oct 9, 17:38
      - it's not all that immature - znufrii Oct 9, 17:34 4
        
        Yes, he's reversed *so* many of Bush's foreign policies. -- nm - Iraq, Afghanistan, Gitmo Oct 9, 17:40 1
        
        he took the easy one first -- nm - Missile shield Oct 9, 17:41
        
        And Dubya was that hated. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 17:35 1
        
        Especially internationally. Except Africa. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Oct 9, 17:37
      - I wonder if there were other periods of history when there was a trend of Nobel peace prize winners who opposed a single world leader? - TFox Oct 9, 17:30 2
        
        You can't really hate this story too much. You got to make a Bush = Hitler crack! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 17:41
        
        i doub't the Nobel Peace prize was awarded while Norway was occupied -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 9, 17:31

Chuck may return to tv sooner than we thought.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 9, 16:59 5
- It's so hard for me to watch tv on the road. Basically if I don't buy episodes, I can't watch anything. I will pay money for chuck. - amanda Oct 9, 17:12 2
  - we should be torrenting stuff and sending dvd care packages to you -- nm - zork Oct 9, 17:23 1
    - I keep on threatening to buy a TiVo with a DVD burner and just park it at someone's house. I'll be fine though. - amanda Oct 9, 17:28
- And Southland axed before the new season even premiers. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin likes this Oct 9, 17:09

Hot Coworker gave notice today. This makes me sad. - Tim Oct 9, 16:36 4

    - (Oh, and fails the age check anyway. Jeebus, I'm old.) -- nm - Tim Oct 9, 16:44 1
      - I dunno, "Dirty Old Tim" could be a look that works for you. :D -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 16:45

Reagen is right. -- nm - David Oct 9, 16:26
"Do they give a Nobel Prize for *attempted* chemistry?" -- nm - Sideshow Vermin Oct 9, 16:16 13
- But enough about Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston. -- nm - David Oct 9, 16:24 1 1
  - Okay, that's pretty funny. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 16:29
- if they waited for someone to actually *achieve* peace before they gave out the prize, they'd never award any. - howie Oct 9, 16:22 4
  - there have been plenty of successful peace treaties negotiated and there are other situations that deserve such recognition -- nm - zork Oct 9, 16:56
  - "sorry Jesus. better luck next year" -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 16:23 2
    - Jesus may have wanted peace, but his followers have done an awful lot to stymie that desire. - TWuG Oct 9, 16:25 1
      - I think that's the point that shamu is making. Shamu is very wise and peaceful, for a killer whale. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 16:27
- Actually, don't the Nobel prizes often go to theorists? As in, they've got a theory, that may or may not have been tested. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 9, 16:21 3
  - in scientific terms, if it's a theory, it's been tested -- nm - zork Oct 9, 16:57 2
    - you say that, but it's just your hypothesis. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 16:58 1
      - Loosi in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... - zork Oct 9, 17:17
- it must be hard to decide whether it's an irrelevant prize because of who they give it to, or just hating the winner because they didn't do anything - shamu Oct 9, 16:20 1
  - How hard is it to get this irate over a Simpsons quote? - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 16:26
I would rather watch Amelia than Couples Retreat ... and I think Jean Reno is hilarious. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 16:11 1
- Hmm...maybe this was an American comedy made for the French market. - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 16:14
CORBEN DALLAS! -- nm - eag Oct 9, 16:08 2

- Dwight reads ST. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 16:00 [Backboard]
- That's how Spawn dresses all the time. -- nm - Remlik Oct 9, 15:54 2
  - Hmm. Come to think of it, Spawn *is* a lot like Dwight. - JaxSean Oct 9, 15:55 1
    - Havens. I know what he looks like, but I always picture him looking like Dwight. -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 15:56
Rush Limbaugh to judge 2010 Miss America pageant -- (link) - CovingtonCat Oct 9, 15:51 2
- So much for the blue states -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 15:53 1
  - You know if people tune into Miss America for Rush Limbaugh they're getting the wrong audience. -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 15:55
I'm amused that every article about golf in the Olympics leads off like it's Tiger's for the taking. - Reagen Oct 9, 15:35 26
- Nicklaus was 46 in that Masters..... -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 9, 17:21
- If he starts his surgery/recovery cycle right now, he might be ready in time. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Oct 9, 15:42
- Yeah. On that note, I always wonder if he'll retire early to go out on top and because he doesn't want to not be the best, or if he plays for many - Don Homer Oct 9, 15:37 5
  - golf is the one sport a player can still be on top of their game into their 50s. the only reason he'd have to retire is if he gets bored. -- nm - Guy (The Hammer) Oct 9, 15:50 2
    - This really isn't true. There's a reason why then invented the senior tour, and why Tom Watson's run was regarded as so amazing. - Reagen Oct 9, 16:04 1
      - Kenny Perry..... -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 9, 17:20
  - He's going to be so far beyond what used to be considered "the top", he might as well keep playing. -- nm - TFox Oct 9, 15:39
  - Hard to say. I don't think he's a guy that can handle not being the very best. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 15:39
- it is -- nm - TFox Oct 9, 15:35 17
  - So was the PGA tour championship. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 9, 15:46
  - I think it's more likely that the gold is won by someone we haven't heard of than by Tiger. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 15:39 15
    - in a Tiger vs the field scenario, sure. but even if Tiger is only winning half as much as he is now, he'll still be the most likely individual. -- nm - TFox Oct 9, 15:41 8
      - That's a large if. Yes, golfers have a long tail to the careers, but even the very best struggle to win a lot after 35. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 15:44 5
        
        Vijay Singh was #1 in his 40's....Kenny Perry is 48....experience matters more than youthful talent. - Will Hunting Oct 9, 17:18
        
        And yet, since we're watching the a) most talented and b) best athlete golfer of all time... who knows what his tail is. - TFox Oct 9, 15:47 3
        
        To me it's a bit like predicting Kobe Bryant to be MVP in 2016. - Reagen Oct 9, 15:49 2
        
        I see that, but Kobe isn't anywhere near as far above his competition as Tiger is. - TFox Oct 9, 15:51 1
        
        Yes, but it's less than 7. :) -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 16:05
      - Has to qualify for the US team first - I wonder how they'll select? -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 15:44 1
        
        I'd imagine any players in the top 100 worldwide rankings (limited to say 5 per nation) -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 9, 17:23
    - do you think there are golfers out there who don't want to be millionaires on the PGA Tour? -- nm - Beaker Oct 9, 15:40 5
      - I think it's pretty safe to say that sometime in the next 7 years, new golfers will enter the PGA. - Reagen Oct 9, 15:43 4
        
        I think it's even safer to say that none of those new dudes will be Tiger. Or even close. -- nm - TFox Oct 9, 15:44 3
        
        to bad competitions like that are mainly based on the form of the day - Danedukenuuk Oct 9, 15:45 1
        
        exactly, I was just going to say that there are tounaments every weekend and he wins maybe 25% of the time so it's not his to lose. -- nm - zork Oct 9, 16:48
        
        I didn't say they would. But they won't need to be. -- nm - Reagen Oct 9, 15:45
So wanna hear about my 16 hours in the ER of our county hospital - eag Oct 9, 15:30 20
- Sorry man, it will get better -- nm - amoxy Oct 9, 16:00

  - Basically. Our health system is the best in the world... if you got the dough. -- nm - con_carne Oct 9, 15:57 7
    - "They do chest xrays ,ekg,ultrasound ,blood test and stool sample" - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 16:02 6
      - Not like this argument will make eag feel better, but County USC is widely known as a shitty hospital - con_carne Oct 9, 16:13 2
        
        Beggars can't be choosers. -- nm - Doc Vermy Oct 9, 16:17
        
        Its USC what do you expect:) - eag Oct 9, 16:17
      - Of course you have to be willing to spend almost an entire day there -- nm - eag Oct 9, 16:07
      - and it's only going to cost him $100,000 -- nm - shamu Oct 9, 16:04 1
        
        Only 120$ if paid within 7 days -- nm - eag Oct 9, 16:06
- Drag, but glad you're okay. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 9, 15:50
- Total blower. -- nm - TFox Oct 9, 15:48

- I hope you feel better. -- nm - Remlik Oct 9, 15:37
- sounds like "fun" - Danedukenuuk Oct 9, 15:37
- Yikes. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 9, 15:35
- Ouch. Keep feeling better. - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 15:34 1
  - Im not even that confident that the new stuff will work - eag Oct 9, 15:35
Matt Damon & Ben Affleck are 10th cousins, once removed. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Oct 9, 15:29 11
- So the question is ? Who removed them? -- nm - eag Oct 9, 15:36 3
  - You forgot your sunglasses, Mr. Horatio Caine. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 9, 16:10 1
    - Ah good one - eag Oct 9, 16:11
  - *snork* -- nm - the liioulu with umbrella Oct 9, 15:53

ODST skulls....I got all of them execept Citadel.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 9, 15:29 6
- i have all the skulls already -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 9, 15:35 5
  - and I have a custom citadel map marking the location of the skull. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 9, 15:36 4
    - I just got it. Put two crats down and grav lift. -- nm - Remlik Oct 9, 15:36 3
      - well, since you can get them via forge mode, you could have just flown up, changed back to - tRuMaN Oct 9, 15:37 2
        
        on Citadel I couldn't do it. when I changed back I was already at the lights. Ah well. -- nm - Remlik Oct 9, 15:42 1

I think Kim's way high on Couple's Retreat. I think it'll be summarily rejected as unwelcome and look for a photo finish with Zombieland for 1st. -- nm - Qale Oct 9, 15:27 1
- I line up with you more than her on this. I can't get past how bad it looks. -- nm - David Oct 9, 15:46
