      - I see it more as a re-tooling. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 15:36

God I would have loved to have seen this this weekend. - pmb Dec 14, 15:14 2
- I enjoyed going to Second City the one time I found myself in Chicago. I wonder who I saw, in retrospect. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 15:16 1
  - I do remember several notable people. One show I went to included in the cast George Wendt, Tim Kazurinsky, Mary Gross and I think Jim Belushi. -- nm - pmb Dec 14, 15:17
watching the Clash of the Titans trailer all i could think was "this movie was made to be a video game" - Guy Dec 14, 15:09 2

    - I'm surprised it made it into theaters at all. -- nm - Max Dec 14, 15:21 1
      - I was a bit surprised, until I saw that Transylmania was getting a theatrical release. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 14, 15:27

heh, a Board Member of the local Little League Assoc. said he had a $250,000 grant from Lowe's Home Improvement and $60k was for upgrading the fields. - CrankYanker Dec 14, 15:00 6
- Why did the board member say he had the money? - musubi Dec 14, 15:03 5
  - No one knows yet. He's not answering his door or phone. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 14, 15:39
  - Probably operating on a nod and a wink from Lowe's. -- nm - Loyola Dec 14, 15:08 1
    - Lowe's rep says they've never heard of the guy. It's funny and sad at the same time. The kids have a new field! -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 14, 15:41
  - feeding his charitable giving addiction, no doubt. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 15:04

    - #arachnidofsatan nm - ralph wiggum Dec 14, 15:25 1

      - Just to confirm ... RC doesn't have a heart condition, does he? I'd feel really bad if he did ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 15:16 5
        
        I'm not clicking that link. - ReluctantCynic Dec 14, 15:44 4
        
        the second pic in ralph's links might be worse, since it gives an actual scale point -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 15:50 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I agree with Bery. That one looked more real-life. The other is too zoomed in to seem real. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 15:53 1

- More than usual, you mean? (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 14:57
- It's important to moisturize your spiders. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 14:57
Giving out virtual currency for stuff like sending letters to Congress is actually kind of brilliant. -- (link) - mara Dec 14, 14:49 8
- brilliant... and terribly devious -- nm - Guy Dec 14, 14:56 7
  - I'm not sure if it's devious; it actually seems pretty straightforward. They're preying on apathy, of course, and the skewed values that make virtual - mara Dec 14, 15:14 6
    - Skewed??? I *need* a new tractor, mara!!! -- nm - Farmer.Vermin Dec 14, 15:20
    - they're presenting people who couldn't name their senator if their life depended on it as political activists. -- nm - Guy Dec 14, 15:20 4
      - A letter to your congressman does not an 'activist' make. - Farmer.Vermin Dec 14, 15:23 2

WSJ: The GOP needs to enlist voters who embrace a progressive lifestyle but not progressive politics: "Whole Foods Republicans." -- (link) - con_carne Dec 14, 14:40 9
- Fair points therein... but this article annoyed me more than a little. - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 14:55 8
  - It doesn't matter if they are like that or not. That is decidedly not who the party leadership is catering to. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 14:56 7
    - [shrug] You might be right. - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 15:00 6
      - but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for -- nm - Dano Dec 14, 15:05
      - "I don't pay a lot of attention to 'party leadership', just the candidates." ... you know who else didn't pay attention to party leadership? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 15:02 2

I've played over one day in total on MW2 maps and this is the first time I've come across this particular map. -- nm - Loyola Dec 14, 14:36 3
- which map? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 14, 15:40
- I still have yet to play multi on a couple maps -- nm - J Dec 14, 14:41 1
  - I got *murdered* on it. -- nm - Loyola Dec 14, 14:48
So, my guys are laying plywood upstairs, with no mention of any extra work required...phew!!! - MojaveMeg Dec 14, 14:34 1
- You naughty minx... -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 14:39
musubi....easy...the Mariners are in to win the division this season. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:31 17
- I guess, but with all the speculation about extending Felix....it does make sense though. - musubi Dec 14, 14:37 15
  - And apparently, Lee told the Phils he was wanting to test free agency just to see...and Halladay's saying he'll go 5yr/100mil with Philly so....... - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:38 14
    - Which again leads to the question of why SEA would deal for Lee? - musubi Dec 14, 14:42 13
      - Becuase they got money to make the run....they have a window to make the run. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:48 1
        
        It's more of a function of not knowing what propsects, etc are involved and where they're going. - musubi Dec 14, 14:50
      - A one-year window to take a run, bank some feelgood (Grif's last hurrah Part II as well), and then begin a proper rebuild in 2011? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:44 10
        
        If that's the plan, why not deal with TOR directly? - musubi Dec 14, 14:47 9
        
        Price tag. Cheaper pitcher. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:49 5
        
        Reports are that TOR is paying PHI $$ to cover the salary difference, so that shouldn't be a deal breaker. (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 14:51 4
        
        If that's true, then the more I hear about this deal, the more I like it. - TFox Dec 14, 14:54
        
        Jeebus. That little reminder makes me really nervous now about this deal. Can't wait to see the final particulars. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:53 2
        
        Good luck, early indications aren't good for TOR. (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 14:59 1
        
        *starts warming up vocal cords to boo Wells in retribution.* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 15:05
        
        does Halladay have a trade veto? -- nm - Guy Dec 14, 14:49 2
        
        Good point. He does. Now, the Angels were in contention, so he didn't automatically veto the west coast, but.... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:50 1
        
        plus, i assume the Phillies were offering more -- nm - Guy Dec 14, 14:58
- I like this analysis. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:36

- Aumont's a Canadian prospect. Played for Canada at the WBC and is considered a gamer, if nothing flashy. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:35 6
  - Someone traded for Alex Rios...there's hope yet for getting rid of that albatross contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:35 5
    - No chance. Rios was younger, (relatively) cheaper, and more recently close to a good season. - musubi Dec 14, 14:38 1
      - I was trying to give the guy false hope. Do you know how bad it'll be when they finish behind the O's? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:39
    - The only hope - as painful to watch as it would be - is that the fans ride Vernon to the point where he opts out in 2011 just to avoid the boos. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 14, 14:38 2
      - *stuffs $100 bills in his ears to drown out the booing* (nm) - Vernon Wells Dec 14, 14:44
      - Someone should give Vernon Vince Carter's number. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 14:40
Ever read an auto/biography that made you like the subject less, after you finished it? - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 14:29 24
- I can't imagine reading an autobiography where you come out even more enamored of the subject. Most great people have done stupid shit. -- nm - con_carne Dec 14, 14:46 2
  - Steve Martin's 'Born Standing Up' made me only like him more. - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 14:52
  - I read a biography recently that brought James Garfield from "who gives a shit" territory to "hey, he seems like a cool dude." -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 14:48

      - .... others are born with... - Guy Dec 14, 15:03 1
        
        Born with? Wait, that's a *birthmark* on your neck??? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 15:06
- i tried to read Leni Reifenstahl's but she annoyed me so i never finished. -- nm - Andie Dec 14, 14:41 1
  - [deleted]
- is that surprising? -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 14:34 1
  - A bit. It was the degree. - Agent.Vermin Dec 14, 14:47

  - He probably wouldn't eat much, a cheap date! (nm) - musubi Dec 14, 14:31
  - There'd definitely be plenty of leftovers. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 14:31 4
    - Yep, that's what I'm angling for. Beryllium tested, Will Hunting approved. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 14:32 3
      - *stabs him with a fork when he even looks at the steak wrong* - Will Hunting Dec 14, 14:33 2
        
        uh... Hindu? - Guy Dec 14, 14:41 1
        
        that's why Ghandi would give it the stinkeye. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 14:44
