  - This was my thought. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 14, 09:44
- Sweet jeebus, I scrolled down, WTF is that thing that ate Meg Ryan and assumed her identity? (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 09:43
- Easily Heidi, but I'm afraid she'd pop out another kid. -- nm - pmb Dec 14, 09:42
- hmmm....Demi. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 09:41
- Why does that picture look twisted or bent? -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 09:40 1

- Three defensive touchdowns from ARI defense! - musubi Dec 14, 09:37 1
  - SO, this thread leads me to believe that tonight's game will be similar to last night's? -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:38
- [deleted] 4
  - Yeah, I changed my mind on that a little later. When I looked at Forte more. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 09:43
  - which you proposed, even! - Reagen Dec 14, 09:37 2
    - [deleted]
    - He was quite power mad. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:39

  - The big question is who's his Sinatra, a la Elvis 1968? -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 09:42
- Earliest is 2011, IMHO. He'll be taking 2010 off. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 14, 09:32 1
  - *adds* Also dependent on when Elin let's him. "I'm going golfing." "Like hell you are. It's 9:30pm and raining." -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 14, 09:38
- After. - Spawn Dec 14, 09:32
- He's back for a major, of course. -- nm - Tim Dec 14, 09:29
- I think at the latest, the US Open. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 09:29
- *envisions TMZ filming him golfing with OJ* -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 14, 09:28
- I think he's back for the Masters. -- nm - Callisto Dec 14, 09:27 4
  - I think so too. Maybe a tune-up tournament the week before, perhaps. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 14, 09:29 3
    - He should play a golf tourney too. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 09:34
    - *ding* -- nm - Diva Dec 14, 09:29 1
      - but overseas for that. Perhaps in Dubai. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 09:34
- He could be gone permanently imo. -- nm - Loyola Dec 14, 09:27
Jason Bay ready to "move on" from the Red Sox. The Mets and Giants are reportedly the leading suitors. (link) - musubi Dec 14, 09:25 3
- *sigh* Guess Holliday will be going to Boston then. -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 09:29 2
  - Hearing little murmurs that Lackey is taking a physical for the Sox right now, as their Plan B. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 09:37
  - If Sabean signs Bay, I think Omar will break the bank for Holliday. - musubi Dec 14, 09:35
It appears that Sexy Zubaz have installed a revolving door for RBs. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:24 4
- [deleted] 3
  - I understand (did that for my TE a bit ago), just funny to see you tear through Snelling and Moats on your way there. - Spawn Dec 14, 09:31 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - This is why I will only win FF on luck. I have *no idea* what you guys are referring to :) -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 09:33
Russell !! Yes, just found out that we are getting this handsome dude the day before Christmas! - CrankYanker Dec 14, 09:18 [flickr] 8
- Are you buying him a hind-legs wheelie? -- nm - OAE Dec 14, 10:02
- So neat. Is that from the shelter up in the bay area? -- nm - MojaveMeg Dec 14, 09:40
- awww...that's so cool -true spirit of Christmas giving ... rescue pets are the best! -- nm - JenBro Dec 14, 09:23 1

- Cute. Remember to get him a hat :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 09:20 2
  - (like this) -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 14, 09:20 [Image] 1
    - Thanks, now a hat is the last thing on my list. I would always remember this pic and think he was reincarnated.. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 14, 09:23
- congrats! -- nm - Diva Dec 14, 09:20
Your hottie of the day... -- (link) - Dano Dec 14, 09:17 [Image]
I'm really just trying to figure out how big of a Jamaican Hot Pocket eating populace you have that you need to post a sign on your door. - CQ Dec 14, 09:14
I liked Robert Culp the best in Thirteen Days, but Dylan Baker had the best scene. -- nm - Inigo Dec 14, 09:10 3
- [deleted]
- "John Paul Jones?!?!" -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 09:10 1

I also remember at my first middle school dance that during a slow dance a teacher actually pushed me and the girl I was dancing with closer together. - Dano Dec 14, 09:06 3
- Hey - when I send you CL gifts - no need to send back ok? I'm good - we need to get more ST playing -- nm - JenBro Dec 14, 09:09 1
  - ok -- nm - Dano Dec 14, 09:17
- *wonders if she would have done the same if you were dancing with a dude* -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 09:08
LIR Dawson - bundling and seling of mortages meant poor lending practices by banks, ratings agencies had financial incentives not to look too closely, - Roger More Dec 14, 09:03 6
- [deleted] 3
  - Ah - I took incentives to mean 'market incentives'. I think there was still an expectation that gov't would bail out - the S&L crisis of the late 80s - Roger More Dec 14, 09:27 2
    - and of course the implied gov't guarantees of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae -- nm - Roger More Dec 14, 09:28 1
      - FRE & FNM are just as mush Shareholder greed culture to blame as the management.... the shareholders got exactly what they asked for. - scorpion Dec 14, 09:30
- The bundling of the mortgages in and of itself was not the problem. The ratings agency issues are real and significant. -- nm - pmb Dec 14, 09:05 1
  - The bundling of the mortgages itself was no problem. But the on-selling could be - for example, where the lender sold all the bundled mortgages. - Roger More Dec 14, 09:20
From BB - MH - Abominable Mouse gave me the 3rd days loot. -- nm - JenBro Dec 14, 09:02 1
- Oh *good*. I *really* didn't want to go get a friggin Christmas Tree mouse. Thanks. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 09:39
[deleted] 3
- Heh, "corners of the Earth." He probably thinks the world is flat. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 09:12
- ugh. -- nm - znufrii Dec 14, 09:11 1
  - double ugh. nmbznu - Diva Dec 14, 09:17
[deleted] 28
- I notice that you were right about Megatron. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 09:17 5
  - [deleted] 2
    - No, I still won the game by 20 points. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 09:36 1
      - [deleted]
  - I could see benching Megatron...but you should never bench MJD in favor of Jamal Charles. - Jim Dec 14, 09:18 1
    - The reason I was thinking of doing it is that Charles has been as good or better lately. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 09:30
- Bench them? Are you crazy? -- nm - Roy McAvoy Dec 14, 09:15
- Bench the D. Play the RB. (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 09:08 1
  - I agree with this, each time it was said. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 09:38
- You play 'em. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:07
- I'd play the RB still. Bench the D. Just win baby. -- nm - Shaun Dec 14, 09:06
- I would bench the DEF; leave the offensive player in the mix becuase of the chance of a stat correction. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 09:06 10
  - Speaking of...I have no idea what to do about tonight's game. -- nm - kelly Dec 14, 09:08 1
    - I think you have to bench the Cardinals and keep Boldin vs his only player. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 09:11
  - Unless you started Randy Moss yesterday. heh heh -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 09:06 7
    - Don Banks suggested that it's starting to look like Oakland-citizen Moss starting to re-emerge. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 09:08 2
      - Getting sent home because he was late for practice ruined him. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:11
      - [deleted]
    - He did? That's funnny -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 09:06 3
      - 16 yards and a fumble for -.4. heh -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 09:07 2
        
        Shut up. I still scored 149 points! Sadly, I have still yet to beat anyone. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:10
        
        [deleted]
- Looks like I'm the minority, but I'd feel pretty scuzzy if I benched. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 14, 09:05
- I think benching them is perfectly fair. -- nm - mafic Dec 14, 09:04
- I don't think "ethics" is an issue at all. You take the sure win over the probably win. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 14, 09:04
- Bench -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 09:04
- I was wondering what you would do also. Honestly, I might consider taking the D/ST out of the lineup. -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 09:04
- I would typically bench if I found myself in that situation. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 09:04
eye doctor: tomorrow. dentist: Wednesday. gastroenterologist: Thursday - adventy97 Dec 14, 09:01 2
- Your insurance must be paid up.... - OAE Dec 14, 10:03
- the up side is - getting them done before calendar year is up (assume ded. for Health Ins. is like ours ) -- nm - JenBro Dec 14, 09:11
Remlik....the entire month-long build to him winning was retarded. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 09:00 1
- oh I totally agree with you. I think David made the point that Cuban thing really paid off for them and that's why they did... - Remlik Dec 14, 09:13
Oh my God....is that Curtis Painter's music?!?!?!?!? nm - Jim Dec 14, 08:59 5
- [deleted] 4
  - You know that's right. The Zubaz are the final bump in the road to Spawn's eventual come-uppance!!! -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 09:05 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - This is a whole new world for me. usually, I'm trying to figure out who will be left for me to draft with the #1 pick. - Jim Dec 14, 09:13
      - Maybe David can find a way for you two to combine your teams so I can beat both of you simultaneously! -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:13
Here's my opinion on the bank bailouts: It had to be done to stabilize the economy. If these "too big to fail" institutions had failed we'd be in - TWuG Dec 14, 08:59 9
- Did you see the recent report that showed some 300 billion dollars were laundered by the banks? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 09:17
- The bank bailouts didn't stabilize the economy, they stabilized the banks. And for months after the banks were stabilized, the economy was still - Loyola Dec 14, 09:07 7
  - And where do you think the economy would be if the banking system went belly up? Getting the banks staqble allows the economy to stabilize. - TWuG Dec 14, 09:11 5
    - Well let's ignore for a second many of the investment banks had to actually register to become "bank holding companies" so as to receive TARP funds. - Loyola Dec 14, 09:17
    - That would have been a good opportunity to create a nationalized bank -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 09:13 3
      - Horrible idea. -- nm - TWuG Dec 14, 09:15 2
        
        Please explain how this would be so very different from, say, repeatedly bailing out private banks with strings attached -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 09:18 1
        
        You're assuming repetition. I'm assuming better regulation in the future to prevent a repeat. -- nm - TWuG Dec 14, 09:30
  - Right. Also, credit is still hard to come by (as you suggested earlier). -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 09:10
Trish Davis gets off The List this year for posting that Band of Brothers Blu-ray deal. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 08:56 2
- i have never seen this or rome -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 14, 09:00 1
  - If you like history stuff at all they are both really excellent. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 09:14
[deleted] 12
- I was wondering what your fallback mocking position would be. -- nm - mafic Dec 14, 09:02 2

- I figured he was already. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 08:55 6
  - why would I need to bother with an engagement, really? -- nm - znufrii Dec 14, 08:58 2
    - Or a marriage, really. -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 09:08 1
      - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 1
    - Oh, I figured she ordered him to get the divorce so they would be engaged. - Spawn Dec 14, 08:59
  - I think that's why Dawson guessed Thanksgiving ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 08:55
[deleted] 5
- You have got to stop hanging out at the mall. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 14, 08:56 2
  - or at least Hot Topic. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 08:56 1
    - heh. Spencer -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 14, 09:00
- LOLSPLURTLOLOMG! -- nm - Spawn Dec 14, 08:55 1
