Musubi...... - groiny Nov 30, 08:57 2
- Hey, I'm with you. Alomar is a no doubt HOFer, imo. I'm saying that boneheaded plays *are* tracked. - musubi Nov 30, 08:59 1
  - aah, ok. - groiny Nov 30, 09:00
Spoofee has a nice little list of CyberMonday deals and links. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 30, 08:57 2
- Slim pickings IMHO -- nm - budice Nov 30, 09:04 1

The CrunchPad is dead. -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 30, 08:56
LYC, I never knew "You've Got mail" was a remake/adaptation - SyrDragon Nov 30, 08:53 10
- Side note: I still love that TCM has a host that tells you a bit about the movie before and after. - con_carne Nov 30, 08:59 1
  - I love this about TCM as well. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 09:00
- And the musical 'She Loves Me' (which is quite wonderful) is also anothedr adaptation taken from the original Hungarian "Parfumerie" which was turned - Diva Nov 30, 08:57 2
  - And Judy Garland's "In the Good Old Summertime." -- nm - mara Nov 30, 09:00 1
    - I knew there was a Judy Garland link that I was missing. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 09:00
- which in turn was based on a Hungarian play, "The Parfumerie", iirc - znufrii Nov 30, 08:56 4
  - In some worlds we suck. In others we rule. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 08:58 3
    - rock. on. *high fives* -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 09:00 2
      - *^5s and spanks it* -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 09:01 1
        
        I'm just annoyed that I'm getting too old to play Arpad... - znufrii Nov 30, 09:03
Happy Birthday to TWuG and Happy Belated Birthday to Don Homer! -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 08:52 2
- Thanks! -- nm - TWuG Nov 30, 08:57
- thanks, I appreciate it. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 30, 08:53
heh, I signed up on the Movember page -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 30, 08:50 1

Woohoo! We stole the ATP tennis tournament from Indianapolis. -- (link) - Dano Nov 30, 08:43
Roy Halladay bidding war looks to be starting between the Red Sox and Yankees -- (link) - Beaker Nov 30, 08:39 9
- Well, I'll help the Jays out...when you target 2 players (Hughes & Joba) you might want someone other than a long reliever - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:54 1
  - Seriously? You think the Jays asking for the two best young pitchers in the Yanks system and their stud catching prospect is a *mistake*? (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 09:03
- shocker. - groiny Nov 30, 08:51
- CC and Halladay as your 1-2...wow -- nm - budice Nov 30, 08:43 4
  - I can't imagine the Yankees can put the best trade package together, but we'll see. -- nm - TFox Nov 30, 08:44 3
    - Other teams *can* put together better trade packages, but will they? - musubi Nov 30, 08:49 2
      - Personally, I'm not sold enough on Buch to make him a dealbreaker. Bard is awesome, but not anywhere near Roy's caliber. - TFox Nov 30, 08:53 1
        
        No, likely no prospect that will be dealt for Halladay will be *remotely* as good as Halladay. BUT they cost like 1/100 of what Halladay does. - musubi Nov 30, 08:57
- Yeah...*sigh*. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 08:40

  - that's a fun show. - znufrii Nov 30, 09:05
- too little, too little. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 08:52
- Too little.....just right. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:50 7
  - by "too little", you mean there were actual leftovers? -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 08:52 6
    - I mean, there was no mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce at the dinner. - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:56 4
      - The dinner we attended was fine, but the necessity of proper (code: delicious) stuffing was not truly met. - Diva Nov 30, 09:06
      - *travesty*! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 09:00
      - My dinner was juuuust right. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:58 1
        
        *sigh* *MY* dinner... -- nm - kelly Nov 30, 09:06

  - Are congrats in order? Congrats! -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 08:52 1
    - Thanks, but this is an investment, so we'll see in a year if it works out. -- nm - ceregon Nov 30, 08:54
- the right amount, none. -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 08:48
- well, for my normal weekend i was the right amount for both. (lots of sleep, little spending) -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 08:45 1
  - err, i'm all about sleep - but i ate the right amount too! -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 30, 08:46
- ate too much (right amount) didn't spend much at all -- nm - SyrDragon Nov 30, 08:45
- a) too much b) the right amount -- nm - Jovian Nov 30, 08:42
- A) too much B) too little--I hate shopping Thksgv wkend. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 08:40
- Ate a bit too much. Spent a little too much. Nothing was out of control. But did not sleep enough when I had the chance. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 08:37
- The right amount of both, I think. -- nm - TFox Nov 30, 08:35 1
  - [deleted]
- eating -- a lot (the right amount); drinking -- a lot (the right amount); spending -- minimal (the right amount) -- nm - znufrii Nov 30, 08:35 1
  - I agree with znufrii -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 08:39
- way way way way too much spending, just way way way too much eating. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 08:34
- A) too little, B) too much -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 08:34

- depends. -- nm - TFox Nov 30, 08:29

    - nice :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 30, 08:33
- A record fine and probation. She has to watch it going forward. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 08:27 1

LYC: As of three Saturdays ago, I have now experienced *four* different kinds of bone fractures in my body during my lifetime. - con_carne Nov 30, 08:24 3
- which kind was the most recent? -- nm - loosilu Nov 30, 08:49 1

First snowless November in Toronto might actually go back further than the 30s since that's when they started recording this -- nm - zork Nov 30, 08:15 5

  - that's the thing. we didn't even get that -- nm - zork Nov 30, 08:20 2

Roberto Alomar - Baseball HOFer - yes or no? -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:12 20
- Yes. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 08:49
- yes. -- nm - Diva Nov 30, 08:22
- ugh, yes. The question is whether his personality (esp. the spitting incident) holds him back from getting in on the first ballot. -- nm - zork Nov 30, 08:16 3
  - Wasn't that Keith Hernandez? -- nm - Kramer Nov 30, 08:21 1
    - second spitter!! -- nm - Beaker Nov 30, 08:23
  - Spitting in baseball? Say it ain't so. ;-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 30, 08:19
- Yes. - groiny Nov 30, 08:14
- No, I think he's one of the most overrated players of the last 25 years. -- nm - Inigo Nov 30, 08:14 7
  - *spits on you* -- nm - Dano Nov 30, 08:16
  - wow, that is saying something. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 08:15 5
    - Watching him play every day for three years, he made as many boneheaded plays in the field and on the bases as he did spectacular plays. -- nm - Inigo Nov 30, 08:17 4
      - well, it is a good thing there is no stat for boneheaded plays. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 30, 08:19 3
        
        Except...there are. (nm) - musubi Nov 30, 08:50
        
        I think the only real reason he gets in is because second basemen's stats are judged differently than other positions. - Inigo Nov 30, 08:27 1
        
        yes, but he was pretty damn good with the glove. - groiny Nov 30, 08:30

    - I actually might make the playoffs at this rate. I think I'm on the cusp of 8th/9th. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:15 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I am so going to run the table from here out. Just to get to above .500. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 30, 08:25
