- "Beverage Digest actually reported the discontinuation of the Gatorade Tiger Focus line on Nov. 25, two days before the accident occurred." nm - Dignan Dec 8, 14:55 2

        Cool. Just bought my first future. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 14:57
- Spending the crystal will give you a pre-detemined amount of research point, but not necessarily enough points to complete a research. - Dignan Dec 8, 14:48 1
  - ooohhh, ok that makes more sense - J Dec 8, 14:51
- the points are immediate. the 4hrs is the cooldown before you can do it again, not the time it takes to get them -- nm - Truman Dec 8, 14:47

      - OH I LOVE COUNTRYLIFE ... rileyzoo_zooriley - at Yahoo - but - it's just a fake made up one - JenBro Dec 8, 14:54
      - Oh, *wow*. That does sound pretty fun. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:54 1

I had to step away for a bit after posting my query (b2) -- it's interesting to me how many are listed who didn't really have the clean/idol-y thing - b. Dec 8, 14:21 6
- I've never watched golf in my life. Apparently Tiger had a clean image, and yet he cussed a lot and had a temper. How is this possible? -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 14:23 4
  - Cuz anyone who's ever hacked a golf ball cussed and wanted to break stuff. That made him human - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:32
  - Tiger was one of the best athletes ever at keeping his private life to himself. He graduated summa from Jordan U. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 14:24
  - I'd never heard those things about him -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:23 1
    - /nods/ And that's still pretty wholesome for a professional athlete. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:25
- the wholesome thing? Did anyone say Paul McCartney? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:22
[deleted] 15
- I know there have been some (of people we know the names of), but my brain is all mushy today. kate moss, for sure, .... -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:42 1
  - er, I was thinking of general scandal-ness, not cheating, of course. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:47
- So your question is, in which countries are you *not* a douchebag for cheating on your spouse dozens if not hundreds of times with multiple partners? - Dignan Dec 8, 14:27 8
  - [deleted] 3
    - ive always suspected its more of a 'better safe than sorry'. the market for marketable athletes is large - they don't need to stick with Woods - Guy Dec 8, 14:46
    - Hell, I'm almost anti-marriage and even I would want nothing to do with him at this point. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 14:39 1
      - Just the possibility of accidental comedy is enough reason to pull them. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 14:50
  - Elected leader of Italy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:28 3
    - Women haven't come as far in Italian society as they have here. -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 14:30
    - I was going to say Spain and Italy. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 14:28 1
      - Course he might lose support for the women being so pedestrian. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:30
- i would have to think Japan would be the best contrast for this. - Guy Dec 8, 14:26 1
  - you're funny. they do have scandals that incite reaction. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:29
- For corporatons, it comes down to an issue of image. If they are in a country where the behaviour affects their image, they will react accordingly. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:22 1

Chuck Klosterman's "Eating the Dinosaur" is a great, great read. His best yet. - Guy Dec 8, 14:20 1

This doesn't mean Gatorade isn't full of it... - Todd Manning Dec 8, 14:15
From the friend that books concerts at my college: "Brooke Hogan is looking for days" and "The Voltaggio Brothers are interested in college dates" - MDH Dec 8, 14:15 5
- hmmmm. this could mean...spolier? - peglegpete Dec 8, 14:19 1
  - No, I doubt it. Brothers teaming up for a tour of colleges would just make more money -- nm - MDH Dec 8, 14:22
- yeah Brooke apparently is very cheap to book. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 14:17 2
  - *perks up* -- nm - Tiger Tiger si Dec 8, 14:20 1
    - She fits his blonde skank profile -- nm - Epiphany Dec 8, 14:23
I bought a bottle of Johnny Walker Red the other day. Smoooooth. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:14 6
- seriously, you think Red Label is smooth? - znufrii Dec 8, 14:16 5
  - Exactly. I figured I should start on the 'low' end and work up. But not *too* low... I drank my share of rotgut in college. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:18 4
    - I hear you. - znufrii Dec 8, 14:20 3
      - So far I have no guidance on this journey, so I will be more than grateful for any suggestions you have! -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 14:21 2
        
        one of us! one of us! :) -- (link) - znufrii Dec 8, 14:23 1

LOL. -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 14:13 [Backboard]
All joking aside, this is extremely tough on the wife. Where's Tiger? Oh he's playing golf. *knowing looks* -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 14:12 15
- [deleted] 13
  - I do too - cause this is just a serious cluster F. Do we think it is even possible she didn't have a hint of something? Is anyone that good at cover- - Epiphany Dec 8, 14:25 9
    - This is so many women coming forward, I have a lot of trouble believing she had no clue -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 14:45 1
      - if she actually knew, why would she freak out now? why chase him with a golf club? why call strange numbers on his cell? - Elf Andie Dec 8, 14:57
    - People don't like thinking these things about the people close to them. Makes it easier to cover up. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 14:31
    - I think she suspected - see: her checking his phone. how long/how serious, though, who knows. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:27 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        and, i don't think she 'knew and ignored' or 'turned the other cheek' based on Tiger's panicked voice mail messaage. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 14:32 1
        
        yep. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:34
        
        The first chick was called on the 24th...which was prior to the Enquirer, iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 14:31 1
        
        that's the one I was thinking of as first (as far as we know). -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:32
  - me, too. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 14:22
  - i know, it's desperate, talk about ruining someone's life. -- nm - Loyola Dec 8, 14:20
  - "... and I want her to know that ... I'm *there* for her." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:17
- "He's playing the back nine..." -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 14:15
David/Fox - im not arguing anyone's fidelity, im arguing in context of b's question - Guy Dec 8, 14:12
My son has never seen a Looney Tunes cartoon (do those even air on TV anymore?) Time to fix that. -- (link) - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 14:12
[deleted] 6
- I thought this was satire for most of the clip. -- nm - David Dec 8, 14:12 1
  - there's a difference between tongue-in-cheek and satire. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:13
- well ... that gets the bloog flowing. And to think, I saw that on TV last night, and fastforwarded past it. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:12 1
  - BLOOD, damnit. Not Bloog. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 14:12
- Amy and I got a kick out of their limited edition holiday panty. - Spawn Dec 8, 14:12 1
