- Why anyone would trade Neftali Feliz right now, for any reason... -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:22 1
  - That was my take on it; add in Smoak, if that deal was truly offered, Done.Heartbeat.Sign in blood if no pen available. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 17:23

Why is it ALWAYS on my evening to work that the band plays Christmas songs in the effing lobby?! WHY?!?! -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:00 12
- Disclaimer: I do like it when they play "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." Great song, and they have a great arrangement. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:01 11
  - that's just becuase it's dedicated to you. - loosilu Dec 8, 17:22 2
    - loosi, it's so loud. Of course, you would just turn down your hearing aids. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:23 1
      - heh. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:23
  - Okay, I've decided to liveblog the concert for you. Playing now, "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:14 7
    - I don't know the title of this selection. It seems very somber, and it's narrated. Perhaps about the Christmas Cease-Fire during WWI? -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:19 5
      - Wasn't that Silent Night? -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 17:20 4
        
        no, Silent Night has something to do with a little rural church in Germany,. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:22
        
        A. I think I would recognize that. B. I don't actually understand what you're saying. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 17:21 2
        
        The song that they sang back then was Silent Night. There might be a song based on the incident, but I wouldn't know that one. -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 17:23
        
        to b., I think she means that the "Silent night" where "all was calm" was about the lack of firing. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 17:23
    - It certainly is. - psilotum Dec 8, 17:16
"Hourly Reminder: It is now five o'clock" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 17:00 1

Question: this "Halo" thing - I seem to recall it usually involves someone posting on ST "Groiny - I can hear you" - does he munch popcorn THAT loud? -- nm - JenBro Dec 8, 16:55 3

Well, I notice my credit card was charged $49.99 by Microsoft last month... guess my Xbox Live was set to auto-renew. - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 16:48 9
- Xbox Live is $50/month? nm - Dignan Dec 8, 16:50 7
  - no, per year. Still a touch overpriced, IMO, compared to PSN's freeness ... but still, mostly worth it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:50 6
    - Oh, yeah, that's not bad. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 16:52 5
      - It would be better if you didn't need to shell out $100 to go wireless. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 16:57 4
        
        That was huge oversight by M$. How can you make a next-gen gaming system and not include wireless out of the box? - Krusty Dec 8, 17:04 3
        
        Agreed, and it isn't someting they can easily fix. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 17:09
        
        I'd say that the HD prices are more egregious than the wireless not being built in - Beryllium Dec 8, 17:05 1
        
        My issue isn't with it not being built-in. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 17:12
- if corporations ran the world ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:49

It's FIFTY f***ing degress people. That's cold. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:37 38
- Even Chin Ho Kelly thinks you're a pussy. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:49 4
  - This is a bizarre bizarre reference, which does nothing to lessen my coldness. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:51 3
    - well, you know. Trying to think of something relevant to Hawaii. - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:55 2
      - "Your intellect is truly dizzying." (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:58

    - Colder than here. We're looking at 25F overnight. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:51
- Really? Seriously? -- nm - Tim Dec 8, 16:46 1
  - What part of "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" are you not getting? (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:59
- I should probably take the dog out now, or be ready to look for my jacket for later :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 16:46 1
  - Poor dog. You should toliet train him just to avoid this bitter cold. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:59
- I could smack you around like Oliver Twist, right now. - Trish Dec 8, 16:42
- We've got 32 and it's expected to fall to the lower 20's. - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 16:41
- I can't think of anything sufficiently wussy to compare you to right now that doesn't fall wildly short. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 16:40 23
  - He's set the bar. We might even have to submit him to Guinness. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:41 11
    - A nice pint of Guiness would be good in this bitter cold. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:42 10
      - we're in the 40s already *smack* ahem. I wouldn't say bitter cold, but I empathize against the "we have it colder than you" meanies. - b. Dec 8, 17:16
      - I can't believe you actually have the stones to call 50 "bitter cold". -- nm - Trish Dec 8, 16:45 8
        
        it IS! -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 16:52 4
        
        How are you allowed to live in Indiana? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 17:19
        
        Pete knows! (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 17:02 1
        
        Pete's always bitter. So "bitter cold" is really just any cold, from his perspective. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 17:07
        
        Wait, you know better. -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 16:59
        
        Bitter, bitter cold. I had *ICE* on my windsheild this morning. ICE. On glass. Who's ever heard of such a thing? - musubi Dec 8, 16:46 2
        
        My college roommate was a Cuban kid from Miami, and we went for a ride in his car in January. - TFox Dec 8, 16:59
        
        Start building the snow arsenal now. -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 16:55
  - Not centigrade, *FARENHEIT*. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:41 10
    - compounded your wussiness with a spelling error? -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 16:43 8
      - YES! Clearly the cold has affected my brain! - musubi Dec 8, 16:45 7
        
        Let's put it this way. If you were a bowl of potato salad, you'd spoil at 50 degrees. - Trish Dec 8, 16:47 6

I just had one catch in my last 11 hunts at the Comet with gingerbread. That's insanely suckish. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 16:30 1
- That happens, especially as you get to more advanced areas where you have to catch a mouse that drops something you need - Cuzzin Todd Dec 8, 16:37
LIR liioulu. Yes, there is absolutely skiing in So Cal. - con_carne Dec 8, 16:30 5
- Although I understand conditions at Big Bear can be pretty good.... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Dec 8, 16:43
- REI carries ski gear, and general stuff for cold weather vacations. - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 16:36 2
  - that's because they appeal to those climbing Mt Rainer and the rest of the Cascades - you do need it there. -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 16:38 1
    - Hey, they sell downhill ski gear in Chicago. -- nm - the liioulu with wet snow Dec 8, 16:40
- it cracks me up how people think of california as all beaches and desert. they've got the highest mountain in the lower 48! -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 16:35
I've listened to the gang chat on Xbox Live during a game. It's surprisingly calm. - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 16:27 10
- You're orders about getting in the Wartys. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 16:52
- by the time you join, we've probably picked up enough players to bump up into a larger game type. That is not usually within our wheelhouse. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:29 8
  - I was implying that I'm the factor. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 16:36 2
    - And I'm saying, no, it's the gametype that is the factor. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:38
    - not at all. I wasn't there in that game, but some nights are chaotic, and some nights we're gelling really well and dominating and that's scary. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 16:37
  - Yeah, the more players there are, the more there is chaos. - David Dec 8, 16:31 4
    - "mental note to remember that phrase" -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 16:32 3
      - I assume you mean "Is someone sniping at us" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:35 2
        
        yep. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 16:36 1
        
        just make sure he doesn't have the sniper rifle when you say it. Or the beam rifle. Or the laser. Or the battle rifle. Or plasmas. Or the mauler. - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:37
I wonder what the ratings would be for a Super Bowl featuring two undefeated teams. - David Dec 8, 16:26 13
- i bet Cowboys v Patriots beats that - Guy Dec 8, 16:28 12
  - Thank god there doesn't exist a scenario that'll come to pass. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 16:52 1
    - Amen -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 16:54
  - I'm tickled to see how you think you IM supports 'Boys-Pats over two undefeateds. (nm) - musubi Dec 8, 16:35 9
    - quality does not equal success -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 16:35 8
      - So again, how does the IM in your previous post support better ratings for Boys/Pats? - musubi Dec 8, 16:39 7
        
        He thinks Cowboys and Pats are the most popular teams? - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 16:44 5
        
        the have the studly, celebrity QBs. ask any women who isn't forced to watch football to name an NFL player -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 16:49 4
        
        (ps - i am precluding female football fans from this discussion since it centers around non-fans) - Guy Dec 8, 16:53 3
        
        So you think these theorectical women who don't watch football will suddenly watch football because they know who Brady/Romo are. - musubi Dec 8, 16:56 2
        
        i think that Brady/Romo is the perfect storm of hawt QB media exposure that would easily tip the female non-fans - Guy Dec 8, 17:10 1
        
        I'm saying the Steelers are the team that gets attention; as borne out by them being a part of the monster Cowboys/Steelers SB in 1995 and then last - Will Hunting Dec 8, 17:13
        
        Of note: the highest rated SB is 49ers/Bengals, and the most watched is Steelers/Cardinals. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 16:44
So, about Vincent Jackson... - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 8, 16:25
I'm just saying, I'm not squeamish about doing what needs to be done regardless of the body count. - Reagen Dec 8, 16:24 5
- I'm also shortening Ultimate Betrayer to Ulbe. That's your new nick. -- nm - David Dec 8, 16:27
- also, David, I was asking where the octochicken was. - Reagen Dec 8, 16:27 1
  - I know I'm in the minority, but I like the unseen cyborg more than the octochicken. -- nm - David Dec 8, 16:32
- yeah, exactly. Team killing is the ultimate motivator. It's like when Tiger takes five or six swings to start off, before trouncing everyone. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 16:26
- Are we playing "Name the mad despot"? -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 16:25
