I ask you, when a woman goes missing, don't the police visit the local registered sex offenders and ask them some questions? -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:57 5

      - I'm just thinking about the guy in Cleveland. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 14:04

    - So you should be done in two more days! -- nm - American Math Student Nov 3, 13:56
Wow, a friend of mine who works for the Braves thinks Mike Minor, the #7 pick in the draft, will be up by July. - David Nov 3, 13:48 3
- Wouldn't be unheard of for a college pitcher. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 13:51 1
  - It's just something I'm not used to as a Braves fan. I think this is the fourth college player we've taken in the first round since Bob Horner. - David Nov 3, 13:54
- Also, Strasburg was clocked at 103 on the fast gun. - David Nov 3, 13:51

    - I do not own a hockey jersey. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:01
- no sir, I did not have a Shawn Kemp Sonics jersey in the 90s. That is just a dirty lie. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:52
- Or any sports jerseys whatsoever? -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:51 1
  - Oh, I have quite a few 49ers and Notre Dame jerseys. -- nm - Stephen Nov 3, 13:57
- I won a Bulls jersey signed by Bob Love but it's not his jersey, it's someone else but I don't remember who -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:50
- I owned a couple of Kings jerseys from years back (Bibby was one I think) but during a recent cleaning of the closet I donated them. - Stephen Nov 3, 13:48

- All three. -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:50 2
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 13:53
  - gosh darnit. - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:53
- Yes, Yes...Not even at gunpoint. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 13:47 1
  - Correct. -- nm - Jelly Nov 3, 14:02
- The Blu-ray of Monsters Inc arrived yesterday. 4 discs! It deserves to be bought on the premise of sheer volume, alone. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:47 5
  - How is that possible? I thought it was being released on 11/10? -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:49 3

      - Tandem releases. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 14:03
    - /me flashes my Official Film Critic ID -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:51

- yes, yes, nooooo. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:47 5
  - Monsters vs Aliens starts painfully slow. The last 30 minutes are entertaining. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:47 4
    - Ugh. the last 30 minutes is when it goes off the rails. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 13:51 2
      - Non-stop comic violence and action. They try too hard early on to develop the characters. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:52 1
        
        You mean for 15 minutes...they set up a story and that bothered you? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 14:02

OK, seriously, WTF Facebook Suggestions? "Help make facebook better for her" - that's my dead aunt you're talking about, dumbasses. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:42 7
- recently discussed on a Consumerist thread -- (link) - Hotkiss Nov 3, 13:49
- Did you guys get her Facebook page memorialized? Otherwise, how would they know? -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:43 3
  - naw, I don't know if her family knows how to do that -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:44 1
    - also, requires a copy of the death certificate. I'm sure they have more pressing paperwork to deal with. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:45
  - now apologize to Facebook! -- nm - secretstalker si Nov 3, 13:44
- *snork* - TFox Nov 3, 13:43

  - I don't think you can look at a Facebook app w/o agreeing to whatever it asks you for -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:55 1
    - you can for some. no big here, though. I was just curious to see estimates. -- nm - b. Nov 3, 13:56
- is the top five always the top five? If so ... I came in fourth. Nice. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:44
- WTG, Facebook User! -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:41 10
  - Which one? I must be friends with all 5 because they all show up for me -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:44 9
    - I don't think that's it. I'm not friends with #s 1 or 2 and I can still see their names/percentages. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:51
    - ooh, who doesn't David like?! -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:46 6
      - whomever finished in first, apparently -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:49 5

decently good review of borderlands. -- (link) - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:33
boston.com Love Letter response to Too Many Party Girls Guy - Diva Nov 3, 13:33 11
- This whole thing sounds like his replies to these women are: "Still in a relationship...for the moment." -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:38 2
  - and then deleting them out of his sent folder and claiming innocence. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:40
  - prezactly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:39
- She's good. But I think Max's suggestion should still be on the table. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:36
- she let him off the hook easy on this one, imo. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:36 5
  - She always remains civil to the writers - they're the bread and butter and in this case, her opening sort of suggests what she really thinks of him. - Diva Nov 3, 13:41
  - I dunno. I think she makes a good point that current gf has been around long enough to know his past "party"ing. - musubi Nov 3, 13:37 3
    - i'm not saying scorched earth either, but the guy seemed very "these texts are going to keep coming; there's nothing i can do!" - TFox Nov 3, 13:39 2
      - Fair nuff. I guess I can see what you're saying. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:45
      - he did stop them for a while. "do that again." -- nm - b. Nov 3, 13:40
- good stuff, as usual. - b. Nov 3, 13:35
re b2 - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:33
Can someone recommend a good program like PCanywhere that isn't too expensive - sycor Nov 3, 13:32 5
- Logmein.com. Just install the Free version -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:34 2
  - ok. They are getting their OS reinstalled due to issues with Vista and they were offered a free upgrade to Win 7. - sycor Nov 3, 13:36 1
    - Works great. I use it to help our church alot -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:42
- doesnt logmein and pcanywhere have a totally free version? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:33 1
  - I dunno. I will look into this. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:34

- In that case they should be filing reports as lobbyists under the LDA. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:40
- And what if CNN helps fund or organize a Rock the Vote rally? Does that suddenly disqualify them as a news org.? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:33 10
  - Not if it's a non-partisan group. Rock the Vote is only interested in registering people to vote, not encouraging support of a specific candidate or - TWuG Nov 3, 13:37 6
    - (Of course, the tea party rallies are officially non-partisan as well. They're anti-policy rallies, not anti-candidate rallies.) -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 13:43 5
      - Exactly. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:49
      - Color me incredulous. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 13:46 3
        
        They certainly didn't help the Republican candidate in NY-23. -- nm - Ender Nov 3, 13:46 2
        
        That doesn't make them non-partisan, just not pro GOP in NY-23. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 13:48 1
        
        [shrug] find a candidate specifically endorsed or condemned by the tea parties. - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 13:51
  - Vote for (Specific Candidate) - yeah, it sure as hell does. "Vote(for whatever candidate you choose" - not so much. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 3, 13:35 2
    - What about when papers endorse specific candidates? -- nm - Stephen Nov 3, 13:44 1
      - Different. Fox does the same and that's perfectly acceptable. If Fox or a paper actively campaigned for a particular candidate, that's unacceptable. -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 13:47
- Every news organization has an editorial staff. Not only do they write editorials, but they get to decide what stories get printed, and their angle. -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:32 2
  - The Maddow clip I linked made this very point: Having an opinion is fine. Being opposed is fine. Reporting the news is fine. *Creating* the news is - TWuG Nov 3, 13:35
  - The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle applied to journalism! (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:33
We bought a new game: Letter Roll. Solid A. It's kind of on par with Boggle -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 13:31 4
- Our new favorite word game is Bananagrams. Totally fun. Like speed Scrabble. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:32 3
  - A friend of mine has kind of hooked me on to Apples to Apples, but that's part word game, part trivia -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 13:34 2
    - we have that too. good game -- nm - CQ Nov 3, 13:37
    - That's been a staple of ours for a bit, yeah. Wicked fun. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 13:35
kilbo, you gotta admit it's a great app. Imagine adding something like this to Download.com. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:30 3
- Meh. I don't have need to mass install a bunch of apps and I don't really like someone else doing it for me -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:31 2
  - There's a clear benefit. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:34 1
    - *shrug* one time event (or one time every 3 years or so) -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 13:35
The Kindle is on Twitter -- (link) - oblique Nov 3, 13:30
doh! Ronza left just after i'd traveled there to buy a trap... -- nm - Stephen Nov 3, 13:30 1
- :( -- nm - nubby Nov 3, 13:33
musubi, that was my initial impression as well, and if that were the case, that would be very petty (and entirely baseless). -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:29
Oh. My. God. I would light you up, crash. Light. You. Up. - musubi Nov 3, 13:28 14
- its not one on one. its five on five, and I'll I'm going to do is set picks all game long on you -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:32 10
  - Light. You. Up, gramps. - musubi Nov 3, 13:38 8
    - sure sure, but you better be careful after the game is over - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:39 7
      - I'm not playing Trish. She'd play dirty. - musubi Nov 3, 13:40 6
        
        do you really think she wouldnt "play dirty" from the sidelines? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 3, 13:43 1
        
        *throws chainsaw across floor ala Bobby Knight's chair* -- nm - Trish SI Nov 3, 13:49
        
        FYI: I'm Crash's power forward. And I throw elbows. -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:41 3
        
        I'll be Steve Kerr. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 13:49
        
        I'd be all a-fear-ed of me, if I were you two, too. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:47
        
        awesome -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:44
  - "all", not "I'll" -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 13:37
- You've been eavesdropping on my phone calls with crash. -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:30
- I suck at basketball. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:29 1
  - I am in a sucky middle ground in basketball, where I love it and am ok, but not really ok enough for most pickup games around here. - TFox Nov 3, 13:30
