        throw them on an island like that movie, and let people pay to hunt them and kill them,. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:15 3
        
        Word...and all of a sudden the death penalty is actually a cash cow. -- nm - Jim Oct 20, 07:16 2
        
        it is so easy, even Sarah Palin can see it. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:17 1

    - I understand the legal battle but it's not like they don't feed life victims the same thing, right? -- nm - GWAA Oct 20, 07:13 1
      - [deleted]
    - That's the thing...something needs to be done with the whole 10-15 years worth of legal battles piece of the equation. -- nm - Jim Oct 20, 07:11 7
      - [deleted]
      - or we could, y'know, just get rid of the death penalty entirely. -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 07:12 5
        
        Seriously. -- nm - Cameron Todd Willingham Oct 20, 07:13

        Needless to say, I don't share that opinion. - znufrii Oct 20, 07:15 1
        
        sure. How many people were put down last year? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:16
  - why would you think that? -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 07:06 1
    - I don't know, just thinking you don't have the lifetime of personnel, food, security - GWAA Oct 20, 07:15
Atheist ads coming to the NYC subway. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 20, 06:45 3
- Doesn't bother me as much as the Scientologists that hang around the S shuttle tunnel. -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 07:08 2
  - or the group that camps out 24/7 by the 7 train in Times Square handing out fire-and-brimstone tracts -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 07:13 1
    - yesh. -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 07:21
The ex and I spoke on the phone for 2 hours last night, the first contact in a long while. - Hotkiss Oct 20, 06:33 13
- if breakups were easy, there would be no sad songs, a lot less literature, and far fewer drastic haircuts. - Andie Oct 20, 07:17 2
  - Listen to Andie. She's a professional. - pmb Oct 20, 07:19 1
    - (well, except at haircuts) -- nm - Max Oct 20, 07:30
- I know I've given my opinion before since I've been in a similar situation - MDH Oct 20, 07:11

    - yet to panic, not going to settle. -- nm - lileve Oct 20, 07:20
- what Kelly said. There is always someone else. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 07:05
- Eh, we've all been there. After my last breakup, I never imagined I'd find someone else - I didn't want someone else. - kelly Oct 20, 06:44 2
  - Yeah, but it was Will so you can imagine her fear. - pmb Oct 20, 07:18 1
    - oh!! :) -- nm - kelly Oct 20, 07:24
- "He said he just doesn't care anymore, to him I'm just another person, he's moved on." You really need to use his words to extricate yourself - HdnAgnda Oct 20, 06:38
- These things do not happen overnight. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 06:35
It was strange seeing the ALCS game beginning at 4pm yesterday. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 20, 06:31
The original Saw wasn't nearly as gruesome as I remembered. It was actually a lot better of a movie that I recall. -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 06:30 12
- except for the worst performance by a cast member of The Princess Bride of all time. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 06:53 2
  - Really? You would call that the worst performance of Cary Elwes' career? - Jim Oct 20, 07:03 1
    - If he's thrown under that, that's truly frightening. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:07
- isn't that the way it is w/ most movies and their sequels? 1st one good, others, not so much -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 20, 06:50
- The first one I actually enjoy a lot. Its a shame that they've never churned out a decent sequel. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 06:31 7
  - I never saw your Blair Witch 2 thoughts... - Jim Oct 20, 06:32 6
    - I think I said C+. I think I stand by that. (spoils/thoughts inside) - TFox Oct 20, 06:37 5
      - Very good. Nice to see you didn't just dismiss it as crap. (spoils) - Jim Oct 20, 06:49 4
        
        Wait, so (spoils) - TFox Oct 20, 06:53 3
        
        It's been a while since I've watched it...but yep...that's how I came out of it thinking. (spoils) - Jim Oct 20, 07:04 2
        
        hmm. interesting. i went a completely different way with it. (spoils) - TFox Oct 20, 07:12 1
        
        Hmmm...now I have to go home and watch it again. By the way... - Jim Oct 20, 07:16
Ok...NOW do the Broncos get to be for real? nm -- nm - Jim Oct 20, 06:27 26
- one of the things that impressed me was san diego's final drive - prayformojo Oct 20, 07:14 1
  - And certainly not from the Denver Broncos. -- nm - Jim Oct 20, 07:18
- nope. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 20, 07:07
- Sure, why not? -- nm - Deevil Oct 20, 06:58
- First, they must climb to the top of the highest mountain and collect the Jade Monkey. Then they must face down the dread Bandersnatch... -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 06:43 1
  - the groin hates the Bandersnatch........ - groiny Oct 20, 06:44
- Do you really want the admission that they are. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:41 14
  - I'd like to see the admission from SOMEone. For 6 weeks it's been, "wait til next week...that's the real test". - Jim Oct 20, 06:46 13
    - Minnesota hasn't been crowned anything, and the Giants and Patriots credibility comes from previous years not this year - stewie Oct 20, 06:51
    - Nah, they've been really solid...legit team. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:48 3
      - Packers/ ... I meant Vikings. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:50 2
        
        maybe you should be. - groiny Oct 20, 06:50 1
        
        Sadly, this is true. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:50
    - Weren't the Titans like 10-0, and still people weren't admitting they were "for real" yet? 6-0 is nothing. :) -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 06:47 7
      - Very true. And the doubts for Kyle Orton pretty much mirror the doubts for Kerry Collins. nm - Jim Oct 20, 06:50 4
        
        I always liked him, his career wins-losses record is pretty damn good. - groiny Oct 20, 06:52 2
        
        He's finally able to unleash the power of NECKBEARD! -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:00 1
        
        Neckbeard is the natural enemy of the bandersnatch. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:01
        
        Yeah, I really don't want to see him pull a Rex Grossman. But... -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 06:51
      - In the Titans case, they really weren't for real. - Inigo Oct 20, 06:49
      - Nah, that was .... 10 & 0....and still limited chance in the playoffs. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:49
- Kyle Orton is playing out of his mind. After their preseason, I thought they would be 0-6 - amoxy Oct 20, 06:40
- no. - groiny Oct 20, 06:34
- maybe in a few more weeks....... - prayformojo Oct 20, 06:31
- Yes, I'm not liking the Ravens chances against them in two weeks. -- nm - Inigo Oct 20, 06:28 1
  - I honestly don't know what to think about this team. They look pretty dominant, but... - Jim Oct 20, 06:32
The statement that made me sad when catching up on Mad Men last night. "Only three episodes left..." Spoils - HdnAgnda Oct 20, 06:19
Is there a good free program online to give you a debt path forward? - Will Hunting Oct 20, 05:36 3
- Maybe this -- (link) - mara Oct 20, 05:42 1
  - Thanks, that's perfect. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 05:48
- I wrote a Google spreadsheet to do that. Saved my bacon. - nubby Oct 20, 05:38
Nintendo may forecast first profit drop in 6 years (linky) - stewie Oct 20, 05:25
It would be much better to think, when considering red zone offense/defense, to think of Points Per Red Zone Possession (PPRZP) rather than simple %. - Don Homer Oct 20, 05:22
Most prescient post on B3 -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 20, 05:14 [Backboard]
Your animal photo for the day (Zanzibar dwarf bush baby) -- (link) - CQ Oct 20, 05:10 [Image]
The Redskins new play-caller, as of 3 weeks ago, was calling bingo #'s in a retirement home. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 05:10 3
- another great example of the media ignoring 100 legitimate criticisms and harping on something that couldn't matter less -- nm - stewie Oct 20, 05:18 2
  - Have they been harping on how Shanahan has apparently turned down the gig? -- nm - Jim Oct 20, 06:27 1
    - That's old news...he wanted personnel decisions apparently and Danny Boy wasn't going for that. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 06:32
I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday but broadcaster, author and campaigner Ludovic Kennedy died. He helped abolish the death penalty. - LMS Oct 20, 05:02
He has Cedric Benson, and says he wants WRs. - nubby Oct 20, 04:48 6
- I'd go....Massaquoi first; when he turns that down, I'd offer begrudgingly Sims-Walker - Will Hunting Oct 20, 04:59 5
  - If you had Benson and someone offered you Sims-Walker, would you take the deal? -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 05:24 4
    - If that's your concern....you're offering Larry Fitzgerald then and do you really want to do that? - Will Hunting Oct 20, 05:28 3
      - I was thinking White. -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 05:29 2
        
        Looking at the #'s....I don't see why he'd take Roddy but not Sims honestly. - Will Hunting Oct 20, 05:33 1
        
        I'd think White is more established, where as MSW is a johnny-come-lately. - nubby Oct 20, 05:35
I beat the tar out of RC in Astronauts, but still dropped from 3rd to 5th. -- nm - nubby Oct 20, 03:46 1
- I think I went from last place to playoffs. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 03:47
From one of the backboards re: Jim Johnson and McCain's push for a pardon....McCain's been pushing this for years. It's not just now cuz of Obama's - Will Hunting Oct 20, 03:07
and happy birthday, Bery and Trish! (I know they're not the same day, but I might not be around). to celebrate, I shall strap myself to a kiwi and be - mafic Oct 20, 01:26 2
- Happy Birthdays! - ty97 Oct 20, 01:33 1
  - as god is my witness, I thought kiwis could fly! -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 03:21
good grief I need to get at least 2 hours sleep ... g'night ST -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 01:06
Shantel VanSanten is somehow an even prettier version of Alexis Bledel. -- nm - David Oct 20, 01:04
at some point, you think Darren would have seen the writing on the wall. Larry Tate was never going to make him partner or anything - big time shamu Oct 20, 00:55 3
- better still - sick Andora on him -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 00:56 2
  - or Uncle Arthur -- nm - big time shamu Oct 20, 01:00 1
    - I don't remember Uncle Arthur :( -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 01:05
LIR - Shamu ... you don't "etter" in non-sports silly shamu ... or was Catholic school different? -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 00:52 5
- i don't know if Catholic school is different but i surely have the letter stashed in some box somewhere back home - big time shamu Oct 20, 00:53 4
  - Same here, I have "Letters" in band and chorus. - Elybow Oct 20, 00:57 2
    - lettered in theatre, three year running. - znufrii Oct 20, 06:24
    - were you in Catholic school ? -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 00:59
  - I did not know this ... hmmmm ... *imagines the letter in a more scrolly font* -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 00:55
No clever comeback??? *de-friends* -- nm - David Oct 20, 00:47 1
- So's your face! -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 00:50
I'm somewhat belligerent about not letting most apps/games post to my feed. - ty97 Oct 20, 00:47 13
- I've probably gone a little overboard of late posting top scores on the stupid arcade games I'm playing on there. I need to cool it with that shite. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 05:56
- It's the people who post every single quiz they take that bug me. - Ender Oct 20, 04:39 4
  - *hide What Welcome Back Cotter Character Are You? Quiz* -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 05:47 3
    - Yeah, but there's a nearly infinite number of these quizzes. You block one and 5 more spring up in its place. -- nm - Ender Oct 20, 06:15 2
      - It would be so so much better if there was one quiz app that all of these things sprung out of. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 06:27 1
        
        I've been seeing some of those too (and blocking them) -- nm - znufrii Oct 20, 06:38
- ditto. I don't care if other people do (as long as it's not like 15 times/day), but I try never to do it. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 00:50 6
  - I would post more status updates if you could filter who reads them and who doesnt - eag Oct 20, 00:54 5
    - this is why my mom isn't my facebook friend. too many photos of me in compromising situations. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 00:57 4
      - Like that one of you and the polar bear when you were in the south pole - eag Oct 20, 01:00
      - my mom is my fabook friend, but my most compromising photo is a date sitting on my lap. -- nm - Stacy Oct 20, 00:59
      - I think my mother is actively stalking on facebook. I truly want to defriend her. - ty97 Oct 20, 00:58 1
        
        you can definitely *limit* her though. she won't even know. -- nm - Andie Oct 20, 06:06
Ty it doesnt matter what the options were before this is a question she wanted me to fix like a week ago, the options now are Ignore Stacy, or - Stacy Oct 20, 00:47 10
- Bery: I'm talking about posts from a user account, but from/about an app. Like an automated post in [Person X's] feed that they just got to Level 4 - ty97 Oct 20, 00:51 1
  - yeah, mafic posted something similar on B2. That would be quite annoying. I haven't seen it very often, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 00:54
- If there is an option to "Ingore Stacy" versus "Ignore Mafia Wars" then that is new. - ty97 Oct 20, 00:49 7
  - If the feeds come directly from Mafia Wars, you have that option to "Ignore Mafia Wars". If she's typing it directly, all you get is "Ignore Stacy". - kelly Oct 20, 03:43 1
    - I post other stuff as well -- nm - Stacy Oct 20, 04:32
  - Actualy there is - eag Oct 20, 00:51 2
    - yeah, if it's a status (rather than a news feed update), it's much harder to block. You can de-emphasize people, though. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 00:53 1
      - I thought that was an old feature. This is all a side-effect of the changes. -- nm - psilotum Oct 20, 01:04
  - you can choose either now (person or app) - big time shamu Oct 20, 00:50 1
    - ahh, that's a nice improvement then. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 00:52
Dick York, obvs -- nm - big time shamu Oct 20, 00:44 5
- Dick Van Dyke! ... oh, wait, he didn't play Darren. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 00:46
- Agree ,the other one came off sometimes as being too smug -- nm - eag Oct 20, 00:46
- "I'll take the suckier of the Darrins for $100" -- nm - Elybow Oct 20, 00:46 2
  - And the answer is . . . Dick Sargent -- nm - Alex Trebell Oct 20, 00:47 1
    - Sergent York? -- nm - Elybow Oct 20, 00:49
