  - What's this now? Just 2 shots of whiskey, hot, with a spoonful of sugar and lemon? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:06

Did I mention that my alma mater actually received votes for the basketball top 25 this week? - Dano Dec 8, 09:00 2
- you guys are still alive in the football playoffs, aren't you? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 8, 09:01 1
  - Semifinals. Have given up 3 points in two games combined. We apparently have a defensive end who is a draft prospect. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 09:07
Mindy Lawton's other photo that is making the rounds....she looks kind of normal in this one... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 8, 08:52 [Image]

- Happy to help, and glad you had a (somewhat) good response. - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 08:56
Student loan reform bill; - Loyola Dec 8, 08:50 1
- the most amusing thing about this: it is as close to a summary of what people are saying would be preferable for Medicare/healthcare in general. - TFox Dec 8, 08:53

    - In my day, football players worked through cerebral hemmorages. They were just *tougher* then. -- nm - Andy Rooney Dec 8, 08:54
I predict I will upset the second seed in Caveman (6-7 record to go along with second most points). -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:48
so, did we discuss the ending of HIMYM last night? (spoilers, obvie) - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:48 5
- I figured (spoils) - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:52 4
  - spoilers - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:53 3
    - I may be picky, but I also didn't like (spoils) - JaxSean Dec 8, 09:01 2

30.2F (-1C) here ... what is it where you are? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 08:47 17
- -23C. Getting the nasty stuff out of the way before -5C at Christmas feels balmy. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 08:59 2
  - brrrrrrr -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 09:03 1
    - Yep. Plugged the car in for the first time last night. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 09:05
- 31F...winter weather advisery from 10 tonight until noon tomorrow -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 8, 08:53
- 40 and sunny at 7:55am. Up from a low of 37. -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 08:51
- 42f (nm) - howie Dec 8, 08:51
- 37 and sunny. Ugly slush storm looming tonight. -- nm - Jelly Dec 8, 08:51
- -17C. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:50 3
  - I saw that Edmonton was -23C yesterday at lunchtime. And I saw some Calgary snow photos this morning. Craziness. -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 8, 08:53 2
    - Those are a couple days old, though. We've been in "too cold to snow" territory for the past couple of days. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:56 1
      - well, yes, but I didn't see them until this morning. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 08:57
- 4-5C positive -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 08:49
- -1*C. Winter storm watch in effect for later. *sigh* winter finally showed up. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:49

I'm at training all week so will be MIA, but TFox if you are around: Big Boi finishes album and predicts 2010 for Outkast -- (link) - MDH Dec 8, 08:45 2
- neechay. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:52
- fuck. yes. thank you. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:48
I don't know what was weirder: that I could add Westbrook as a FA in Vamps, that I could do it after 2 days of no one touching him.... - TFox Dec 8, 08:42 10
- He wasn't getting kept by me, so it was a "why hold him if he's not playing" situation. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 09:01 2
  - I understood the drop totally. I was more surprised that no one else took a flyer on the add. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 09:03 1
    - Just curious, what do you actually think you'll get back in a trade? A 5th round pick? Better? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 09:06
- [deleted] 6
  - Disagree. *keeps Westy instead of MJD* -- nm - stacy si Dec 8, 08:44 1
    - heh -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:47
  - not as of today, no. but i'll hold him in case things change. he might even play this week. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:44 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - For certain, I would keep Gore and Knowshon in a heartbeat. But depending on developments, he's a potential keeper for someone. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:47
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:43
Without googling, do you know where the quote "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" came from? -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 08:37 15
- Yes -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 08:49
- spoiler for the rest of y'all - con_carne Dec 8, 08:45
- yes -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:43
- sure -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 08:42
- *crashes through the undergrowth* Yes -- nm - Stanley Dec 8, 08:41
- Not off the top of my head, no. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:40 4
  - Well, I kind of take that back. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:45 3
    - When I went to look it up, I assumed it would be from a book or play. I saw no sign of that, but it must have been popularized somehow... -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 08:55
    - still you dpn't forget things becourse your head i fille but becorse it's empty :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 08:48 1
      - I also thought he meant where it was first quoted. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:50
- yes -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 08:39
- sure -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 8, 08:38 1
  - See, I never would have guessed. I heard it again last night while, of all things, playing through "Bully" again on my PS2 - con_carne Dec 8, 08:41
- yes -- nm - crash davis Dec 8, 08:38
- yes -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:37

  - Speaking of...I will be trading one of my TE's.....either Witten or Tony G. So keep it in mind y'all. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:41
All NHL ties should be resolved via a 6 person brawl. After 5 minutes those standing play OT. First goal wins. -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:34
Dear systems people: I do not know systems. I told you what I need. Either you can do it or you can't. -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:32 1
- We outsource some of our tech issues, and often it's a question of whether the company wants to pay the guy to do a task. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 08:35
NPR is best when they do music reviews. Last night, ATC reviewed The Complete Miles Davis Columbia Albums Collection (*70* CDs) -- (link) - con_carne Dec 8, 08:29 1
- NPR's music reviews are my least favorite sections. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 09:34

  - Da Bears really helped him out that game. Hopefully, their D against Verde Bay will be better. -- nm - crash davis Dec 8, 08:31
[deleted] 23
- Ummm......it's lower than that. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:29 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - You're taking 65minute wins vs 60 minute losses. That's not apples to apples, regardless of their point-system. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:31 3
      - except it does affect the standings. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:35 2
        
        I have zero problem with the contept of the points and extra points for an OTL. But to say they ain't .500 is bogus. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:38 1
        
        there's still a maximum number of points they can earn, and most teams will earn more than half. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:44
    - They may have created the only standings system that sucks more than ties. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:31
- I'm guessing the Leafs are not one of them -- nm - zork Dec 8, 08:27
- The SNHL. Where everyone's a winner. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:27 2
  - (and it's 15 out of 30 if you add losses and OT losses together.) -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:28 1
    - [deleted]
- blame the shootout. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:27 8
  - No. Blame the extra point given for losing the shootout. They don't have to go together. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 08:28 7
    - they'll never get away from a point for that. The best we can hope for is a 3-2-1-0 system. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:29 6
      - In the extreme situation, a team could end up with 82 points and not win a single game. Dumb. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 08:31
      - Yes, because *that* is the kind of elegant simplicity that fans are craving. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:30 4
        
        how is that more complicated than right now? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:31 3
        
        The only sport that should require four outcomes is Calvinball. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:32 2
        
        the shootout and the point for a SOL is here to stay. We can at least make it better. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 08:35 1
        
        I'm not sure developing a "3 pts for regulation win, 2 pts for SOW, 1 pt for SOL, 0 pts for regulation loss" is better. - TFox Dec 8, 08:39
- [bleep]in' 3-point games. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 08:26 2
  - even without that it's possible. Imagine a league of 6 teams where 5 tie each other and all beat up on the last one. - zork Dec 8, 08:29
  - Aye. It's dumb. If you lose, you shouldn't get gifted a point. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 08:27
What I don't get is, even if the CLS opened its membership to gays, why any would want to join an organization who expressly disapproves of their - znufrii Dec 8, 08:25 5
- [deleted] 4
  - ah, right, esp. on the last point, I almost forgot this is a law school we're talking about here. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 08:30 3
    - I also wonder if one could make the argument here that an organization based on religious affinity is not the same as a "religious organization". - znufrii Dec 8, 08:34 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        gotcha. thanks. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 08:39
Danica Patrick confirms plans to be highly overrated in two different auto sports. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:23 5
- Is she even overrated? I just figured she was half hot, which was all the reason for her press. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 08:28 3
  - Given her actual day to day performance, she'd very likely be changing teams often without her looks. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:30 2
    - "changing teams"..*thud* -- nm - SyrDragon Dec 8, 08:35 1
      - Unless it's with the chicks who hand out the trophies, I ain't interested. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:37
- so true -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 08:27

  - like those have mailed yet. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:26 2
    - Well, if you mailed it from Dano's apartment to his apartment, it wouldn't take long. -- nm - Inigo Dec 8, 08:30 1
