- didn't they lose like 4 games because of the revolving kicker door the first year Snyder had the team? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 12:48 3
  - Someone has to pay. And if not the refs, then why not the kicker? -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 12:53 2
    - simply increase the suckage taxes -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 12:53 1
      - Dis-incentivize suckage! (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 12:54
Hmmm, Braves DFA Ryan Church to make room for Soriano on the 40 man. - musubi Dec 8, 12:46 3
- I always thought Church would be better than what he is. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 12:47 1
  - He never really got a fair shot in his prime. Didn't get a full time gig till he was 28, and injuries derailed him after that. - musubi Dec 8, 12:50
- Whoops, here's the link. (link) - musubi Dec 8, 12:46
Did we know there are First Spouse coins? -- (link) - TFox Dec 8, 12:43 12
- yes, I remember hearing about this a while ago, haven't seen any of them yet, though -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:49 3
  - very few people spend gold buillon anymore. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 12:50 1
    - I meant pictures, not in circulation, obvie - znufrii Dec 8, 12:52
  - collar... coins? -- nm - Average American Storeowner Dec 8, 12:50
- Hello Julia Tyler. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 12:45 3
  - I wonder if chicks ever look at money and think, "Dang, I'd polish that." -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 12:52 1
    - Yep. -- nm - Tiger Hos si Dec 8, 12:53
  - I'd Tippacanoe into that! Hey-o! -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:46
- I didn't know Tyler had two wives while he was President (not at the same time) -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:45 3
  - also, is it just me, or does Millard Fillmore resemble Jack Donaghy? -- (link) - Roger More Dec 8, 12:47 2
    - certainly in that portrait. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 12:48
    - heh. he does. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:48
drawing by MJ. he had more talent than most people. -- (link) - zork Dec 8, 12:41 2
- Its got to be the shoes -- nm - Mars Blackmon Dec 8, 12:45
- Holy cow. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:43
The Wire was the correct answer - Guy Dec 8, 12:40
Mousehunters: has there always been an Elf Mouse? or is he a new Christmas one (8 now?) -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 12:28 18
- I haven't seen the elf mouse yet. -- nm - Stephen Dec 8, 12:43
- So seriously, what is the point of MouseHunt? Do you collect mice? -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 12:33 14
  - that's part of it (for instance nubby has caught them all). - decline Dec 8, 12:35 1
    - The game constantly evolve though, so you'll never reach the end - Guigue Dec 8, 12:40
  - All the talk on here has made me consider playing. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 12:35 4
    - it's mademe want to buy a gun. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 12:42
    - all the talk on here would imply a degree of excitement and actual gameplay that really isn't there. - TFox Dec 8, 12:38 2
      - I'm rarely even on Facebook anymore -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 12:39 1
        
        (but thanks from me also on the summary.) I did check it out last night but didn't "join." -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 12:40
  - yes -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:33 6
    - and I assume there is no way to win so it's quantity based? -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 12:34 5
      - in terms you'll appreciate, it's a "gotta catch em all" type scenario. - TFox Dec 8, 12:36 3
        
        so kind of like Halo achievements -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 12:40 1
        
        and the frenzy of activity right now is largely that there are 7 Christmas mice that will soon disappear... - TFox Dec 8, 12:41
        
        that sums it up quite nicely - oblique Dec 8, 12:38
      - collecting-based, I think. But it also seems to be about puzzles - what type of cheese to use, what type of trap to set etc -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:36
- It was around last Christmas. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 12:32
- i saw the elf mouse listed in the full list, but i assumed it was an old limited run one. did you just catch one? -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:30

- it's another Eastwood/Damon project. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 12:31
- You mean you don't remember? We found you so entertaining, we hired you on the spot for a substantial supporting role. -- nm - the director of Hereafter Dec 8, 12:29 2
  - well, Clint is into casting unknowns -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:31
  - "...and for some reason you asked to be paid in vodka..." -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:30
I'm going to pencil Granderson in for about 120 runs next year. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:18 12
- I like this deal because I can now root for Ian Kennedy again. - musubi Dec 8, 12:20 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - well, there's overpaying and there's overpaying for the yankees. -- nm - mafic Dec 8, 12:27
    - Yes, why do you think it's more than slight? (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 12:22 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        He's a 28 year old, top notch defensive Centerfielder who is still above average with the bat. - musubi Dec 8, 12:25 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        *shrug* I already said on B2 that it looks like a good deal for all three teams. - musubi Dec 8, 12:30
- [deleted] 2
  - If Granderson remembers how to be halfway decent against LHP, he's golden. - musubi Dec 8, 12:21
  - well, there are a few flaws in his game...... - groiny Dec 8, 12:21
- you never know how they will handle the stage there. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 12:19
That's a shame. Peter Gammons just quit at ESPN. -- nm - David Dec 8, 12:16 7
- That seems like an overreaction to the Yankees trade. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 12:19
- [deleted]
- OMG hes still a live - is this his new show? -- (link) - Capstern Dec 8, 12:17

  - Peter please take your name off your phone -- nm - Tiger Dec 8, 12:17
  - He's the fourth most attractive of Tiger Woods' lovers. -- nm - David Dec 8, 12:17

- I think it was a line from the West Wing that said "if the gov't was solely in charge of curing polio, today we'd have a $3 million iron lung" - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:18 20
  - If business was solely in charge of curing polio, we'd have a $10 million iron lung and a free rock that wards off evil spirits. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 12:46 4
    - Tell me more about this free rock :) -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 12:47 2
      - it's quartzite and vibrates on the same frequency as the evil spirits, thus scaring them away. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 12:48 1
        
        Genius. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 12:48
    - (oh, and an incentivized payment plan for the 10 million dollars, of course) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 12:47
  - re: "throwing around taxpayer money" see US Constitution, Article 2, Section 8 - znufrii Dec 8, 12:26 6
    - sorry, Article 1, not 2. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:31 5
      - Fair point. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:44 4
        
        doubtless. :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:51 3

        Of *course* it is. How you define 'general welfare' depends solely on value judgements. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:59 1
        
        [deleted]
  - the government's in charge of climate control because business has proved itself largely unwilling to do anything about it. - mafic Dec 8, 12:22 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - The problem with a totally free market arises when the incentives are incorrect or people do not act rationally. - pmb Dec 8, 12:29 2
        
        I don't disagree. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:46

    - IM: You ignore that I said "over" instead of "instead of". ;) - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:41 1

- Sometimes, I believe your last sentence in the IM is a core part of conservatives' plans for progress of all kinds -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 12:17 1
  - sometimes? -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:17
Dear James Patterson: has your hand cramped up yet? How in the name of Heavens can you write so many books so freakin' quickly. -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 12:13 4
- I chuckled my last trip to Chapters - AJRimmer Dec 8, 12:18 1
  - Amazon.ca has like 7 new books of his in hardcover. -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 12:18
- he has "help" on some of those Alex Cross novels. -- nm - Tickle-Me-Diva Dec 8, 12:14 1
  - yeah alot of his "new" stuff is JP with so-and-so...and the decline in quality is so obvious it physically hurts me -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 12:14
I was hoping Woot would scratch my itch for a $500 impulse buy on kitchen knives. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:13 14
- are we talking about a single knife, or a set for $500? -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:35 2
  - set -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 8, 12:36 1
    - I wouldn't mind having one of those...oh, stalker? -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 12:48
- [deleted] 3
  - It would be a set, not just one knife. If you're interested in cooking, a good set of knives is a must-have. -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:35
  - A good knife is worth it if you properly maintain it. You'll think it was worth it many times over its lifetime. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 12:33 1
    - "I always had to put cucumbers on my salad whole, but now, I can serve them in slices! Thanks, $500 knife!" -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:35
- you probably need a kitchen knife to scratch your itch.... - groiny Dec 8, 12:13 6
  - weirdly, you got your itch from a screaming monkey. it always ties in with Woot. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:16 5
    - see, your wife told me her cooter was ok now? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 12:18 4
      - i did enjoy how it seemed tighter after you were done. i think all the squeezing just to find you helped. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:20 3
        
        that was because they had to stitch her closed when I was done. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 12:21 2
        
        (and now i'm done.) -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:22 1
        
        whoo aah! nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 12:42
Patrica Clarkson, Devon Graye (dexter0, Madeline Martin (Californication), Danny Glover and....John Cena star in a new movie.... - Remlik Dec 8, 12:12 10
- that... isn't the type of role i expected Cena to take next. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:15 8
  - I know. Good for him, at least he's trying and it's somewhat in his wheelhouse. And it's another New Orleans production. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 12:23
  - It's a WWE Film, so I'm more surprised to see Patricia Clarkson and Danny Glover involved -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:18 6
    - word -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 12:36
    - I'm not. No slight against them, but they're not exactly 'in-demand' actors. It's the Uwe Boll rule for casting.... - Remlik Dec 8, 12:26 3
      - I'm still a little surprised that Clarkson didn't have anything better going on :) But work is work! -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 12:30 2
        
        exactly! I like Clarkson and Glover and anything that gives them more work is good imo. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 12:31 1
        
        I think the bigger thing is that WWE has very deep pockets. -- nm - zork Dec 8, 12:40
    - everything about that project is a little weird. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 12:19
- no, no, no. They go into a bar together. -- nm - zork Dec 8, 12:14
*oozes onto B1* -- nm - znufrii's algae colony Dec 8, 12:12 4
- Now, if you can also make this stuff taste like bacon, I'll send you an investment check today. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:14 3
  - *trademarks Soylent Znufrii* -- nm - Soylent Corp. Dec 8, 12:26 1
    - *oozes into your office and dissolves the trademark paperwork* -- nm - znufrii's sentient algae colony Dec 8, 12:33
  - *oozes into your house and eats all of your bacon* -- nm - znufrii's algae colony Dec 8, 12:17

Mmmm, cookies. My sympathies to whoever said they had a cinnamon allergy. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 12:09
