EatThisNotThat gives you the skinny on coffee. 5 services of lucky charms? yikes -- (link) - oblique Oct 12, 14:31 3
- Yeah, that ain't coffee. That's vaguely-coffee-flavored cream and sugar. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 13, 11:00
- don't scare me. not "coffee". "bullshit fancy-schmantz coffee". -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:34
- once you drink black, you never go back. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:33
from b2: That kid would probably catch the foul ball better than I could anyway. (the two for flinching nt.) -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 14:30
Facebook seems to (newly) allow me to be simultaneously logged into my account on multiple computers. - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 14:22 2

- Mike Meyers. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 14:32 1
  - This one gets my vote here. -- nm - OAE Oct 12, 16:48
- These blind items annoy me. Are the people ever revealed? - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 14:30 3
  - I think Jackson & Torv made more sense. - Reagen Oct 12, 14:31 2
    - I thought Jackson was American. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 14:33 1
      - nope, he's Canadian. - Reagen Oct 12, 14:34
- Shatner? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 12, 14:26
- real guess: Seth Rogan? -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:21 16
  - There is the rumor that that is how he lost the weight. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 14:35 1
    - and who would notice if he was manic? -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:36
  - I would think that at this point Seth Rogen is above C+/B- status. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 14:33 3
    - and do we really need slash grading in our blind items? friggin people. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:35 1
      - "Well, he's really more of a C+-, but on TV he's an A-+." -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:37
    - I need their calibration scale, dammit! -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:34
  - he's only filming Green Hornet -- nm - Guy Oct 12, 14:25 5
    - "and is currently filming what is expected to be huge by the studios but I'm not sure the public will agree" -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:27 4
      - good guess. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 14:31 3
        
        as Kim said, it depends on whether you think Cameron Diaz is C-list or not - Reagen Oct 12, 14:32 2
        
        or why her mom/dad would be snorting coke with Rogen? -- nm - Guy Oct 12, 14:35 1
        
        if you do coke, you pretty much don't care who you do it with, as long as they have it. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:35
  - No pills, no powders. -- nm - Harold Ramis Oct 12, 14:23
  - I'd think so except for the C-list actress co-star part. -- nm - Callisto Oct 12, 14:22 2
    - I never know how they define these lists. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:24 1
      - Agreed. I was only half-joking about Drew Barrymore's mom. -- nm - David Oct 12, 14:27
- Jim Carrey -- nm - con_carne Oct 12, 14:21
- Oh, Bill Shatner. When will you learn? -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:21

I'm becoming addicted to Bubble Defense on my Blackberry. Might be the first game I buy for it -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 14:18
shit shit shit. black printer ink cartridge's ink just went all over the place as I opened it up to replace the old one -- nm - peglegpete Oct 12, 14:13 1
- I'd say hide the evidence, but your fingerprints are gonna be everywhere! -- nm - Qale Oct 12, 14:18
Caught one foul ball in my life. Sometime in the mid 80's at Candlestick - amoxy Oct 12, 14:10 3
- Happy Birthday to my favorite ST chick! -- nm - Guy Oct 12, 14:19
- Happy birthday! -- nm - David Oct 12, 14:11 1
  - yeah! -- nm - prayformojo, Xynast Oct 12, 14:14
if I read correctly, Derek Anderson had a 15.1 QB rating for yesterday's game...can anyone remember a worse rating for a game? -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 14:07 11
- Wikipedia has a list of QBs who posted zero. Wouldn't that be the worst? -- (link) - oblique Oct 12, 14:11 9
  - oh wow, that is some ugly performances there -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 14:14
  - [deleted] 7
    - other HOFers include Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, Bob Griese -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 14:16 1
      - Len Dawson -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 14:17
    - the game where both starters had 0s must have been something to see. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:15 4
      - I'm pretty impressed the Browns had a 100 yard running back yesterday given Anderson's two completions. -- nm - David Oct 12, 14:19 1
        
        "And on this play, we see the Bills trying the unorthodox 11-men-in-the-box formation..." -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:23
      - I love the Gary Keithley one. 32-10 win, with a 0 rating in his first career start. Yikes -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 14:16 1
        
        Last win with a 0 rating start is 1976 -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 14:16
- Henry Burris had a 10.3 in his infamous MNF start. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:09
Also, why was Michael Crabtree so mad? Darrius Heyward-Bey fell on a grenade for him by going to the Raiders. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:56 5
- I think it started as a feeling that he just wasn't healthy enough to show he was a top 3 pick but in his mind he was - stewie Oct 12, 14:03 4
  - It sounds like he is humbled enough to get his act together -- nm - amoxy Oct 12, 14:11 3
    - I credit MC Hammer -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 14:14
    - if there's anything there Singletary will find it... he already did with Vernon Davis -- nm - stewie Oct 12, 14:13 1
      - the team looked back to square one on Sunday. just pitiful. - Guy Oct 12, 14:18

ABC picks up Cougar Town, Modern Family, The Middle, and FlashForward -- (link) - oblique Oct 12, 13:50 12
- I'm thrilled with Modern Family so far. The gay men at Costco was inspired. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:56 5
  - I'm very happy with Modern Family and Cougar Town both. (nm) - Callisto Oct 12, 14:11
  - "What is this place?" -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 14:08 2
    - "They sell sheds." -- nm - David Oct 12, 14:10 1
      - "I'm sort of like Costco. I'm big, I'm not fancy, and I dare you to not like me." -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 14:15
  - Agreed 100%. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 14:00
- Poor Kelsey. Hank was not good. The Middle is growing on me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 13:56 5
  - I feel bad for him because all the other shows that are in its 'block' have been picked up -- nm - Jovian Oct 12, 14:09
  - And you were making such progress with your weight. -- nm - con_carne Oct 12, 14:05
  - It's going to be sad when Kelsey has to move from playing "middle-aged disappointed guy who has to move back home" to "elderly disappointed guy who has to move back home". -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 14:00 1
    - "I've got it! I could play a sitcom star who has to deal with his wacky family after his show gets cancelled!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 14:01
  - There would be one good thing if Hank was cancelled. (Eureka spoiler) - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:58

- To be fair, the Vikes thought they could play all of Walker's personalities. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 13:49 1

- lamer -- nm - Vidmaster Oct 12, 13:41
I'm in favor of throwing the ball back . . . if you're at Wrigley Field. My pet peeve is team traditions that get picked up by other teams. - pmb Oct 12, 13:35 20
- I think I'd give the ball to the kid next to me only if it beaned him before I caught it -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 14:02

  - Bitch please, Wags was using that *long* before Mariano was. - musubi Oct 12, 13:58 10
    - [deleted] 9
      - Yes, he was. (link) - musubi Oct 12, 14:00 8
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        Yeah, "By all accounts, Wagner was the first to use the song" is pretty open ended. - musubi Oct 12, 14:11 1
        
        Which is to say, Frankie Rodriguez could come out to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", if he would just stop sucking. (nm) - musubi Oct 12, 14:14
        
        *awards you one unicorn-horn encrusted 'can't admint wrongness despite linked fact' point* -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:09 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        thus far, he's outlinked you. -- nm - TFox Oct 12, 14:15 2

- This happens in soccer too. Did you ever hear the song "the fields of Athenry"? Well, for generations it was sung at Irish internationals by the fans. - Loyola Oct 12, 13:41 4
  - A lot of the Australian football anthems are just new words to inspiring songs - It's a Grand Old Flag for example - Roger More Oct 12, 13:54
  - it's like the Braves stealing the Seminoles stuff. Unoriginal stealing bastards -- nm - CQ Oct 12, 13:43 2
    - I heard that at the World Cup and was embarassed by proxy. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 13:49
    - I *hate* when they do it. Proper bastards. -- nm - Loyola Oct 12, 13:44
- *throws a rat on the ice* -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:37 1
  - when I was in college, our football team would travel to the Montana schools and they'd throw potatoes on the field - crash davis Oct 12, 13:40
My main thought in watching New England this year is that Tom Brady isn't right. I don't care what the stats are. - David Oct 12, 13:34 14
- his O-line isn't what it used to be. he's not used to being rushed so much -- nm - Guy Oct 12, 13:52
- I was giving him until game 5 to say this. I will give him one more game. -- nm - Spawn Oct 12, 13:43
- he's still working out the kinks. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:41
- Yeah I think it might take him a bit to find his groove again if he can. -- nm - Remlik Oct 12, 13:39
- It is worth noting that he's only beaten Denver once. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:38
- Not uncommon coming off that kind of injury. He'll be fine over time. -- nm - pmb Oct 12, 13:36 3
  - I think he will, but it's also not that hard for me to imagine him getting the Richard Seymour treatment next year. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:41
  - [deleted]
  - Carson Palmer this season is a good example of time healing this. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:36
- yeah, its like he is trying to throw the ball quicker - tRuMaN Oct 12, 13:35
- what is wrong with that team in the mid part of your state? -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:35 2
  - It's obvious from Detroit and Tennessee's play that Jim Schwartz is a savant. - David Oct 12, 13:39 1
    - Yet another good coach who came from the Ravens. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:44
- I agree. he is very tentative and unsure of himself thus far. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:35
mmmm Thanksgiving beer.... -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:34
ike gripe - tRuMaN Oct 12, 13:33 3
- that's when you pillage them in retaliation. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:34 2
  - military score is 3 times mine, and its the v3.2, so pillaging sucks. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 12, 13:40
  - in the old version anyway. In the new version, just suck it up and mine your own material....poor Mop. -- nm - Beaker Oct 12, 13:36
Another reason not to throw the ball back. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:31 25
- yup, it is usually frowned upon to throw anything onto the field, I would imagine that extends to balls batted into the stands. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:32 22

    - Shane Victorino, Phillies CF was doused with a beer while fielding a ball in Wrigley. - musubi Oct 12, 13:38 7
      - I remember seeing on TV Dave Parker doused with a beer in Wrigley in the late 70s, early 80s -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:42
      - [deleted] 4
        
        I think it's more a way to later prosecute for a tresspass if he ever gets in trouble again, but I'm no expert. - musubi Oct 12, 13:44 3
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted]
        
        yup. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:45
      - I wouldn't go so far as to press charges, but banning him for life is a perfectly legitimate response. -- nm - znufrii Oct 12, 13:39
    - I think pizzagate at Fenway was the best. The dude threw a slice at the other guys face! -- nm - CQ Oct 12, 13:36
  - Yeah, I've found at least two stories from searching for the origin of throwing it back. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:34 11
    - you sir, have clearly not seen rookie of the year. -- nm - mafic Oct 12, 13:39 1
      - I've seen at least part of it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:47
    - I've always understood the origin to be Cubs fans. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 13:36 8
      - same here -- nm - crash davis Oct 12, 13:36 7
        
        Ditto. (nm) - musubi Oct 12, 13:39 6
        
        I know it's Cubs fans. I just don't know why they started it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:41 5
        
        Because they're Cubs fans. Jerks with an overdeveloped sense of self-esteem considering their team hasn't won a World Series in over a hundred years. -- nm - Ender Oct 12, 13:46 4
        
        here's something on it... -- (link) - znufrii Oct 12, 13:57
        
        That last part doesn't factor into it. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:49 2
        
        It's a one... hundred... year... drought... nothing says "recent development" about that. - Ender Oct 12, 13:55 1
        
        It reaching 100 years is recent. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 14:01
- Why would a Yankees or Sox fan do that? It's a f***in home game for them there. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:32 1
  - I said an O's HR. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 12, 13:33
"My eyes, my rum-glove has spilled in my eyes!" - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:29 1
- Funny you should mention that..... (nm) - David Wells Oct 12, 13:30

Bedazzled! -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:27 2
