        Now this day on ST has started on the right foot. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:59
- Really...Was he even playing last night?? -- nm - amoxy Nov 18, 06:42
- I probably would have lost anyway last night, but he shure didn't help. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:42 1
  - "shure"? Lee Evans is a microphone? fuck me and my typing. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:42
Another reason it would suck to lose my job right now... - znufrii Nov 18, 06:38 5
- You still have a job after yesterday? -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 06:41 4
  - apparently. - znufrii Nov 18, 06:41 3
    - (whether i'll still have one at the end of the week is an open question) -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 06:44 2
      - never too late to start stealing office supplies\ -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:58

  - "Whoa, doc, you using the whole rust belt?" -- nm - Chevrolet Chase Nov 18, 06:57
*grumble* - kelly Nov 18, 06:26 7
- Yuck! -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 06:28
- That is a happy mistake right there. You upgraded your potatoes. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:27 5
  - Nah. I threw the taters away and ate the frittata sangwich that was hot sauce-free. -- nm - kelly Nov 18, 06:31 4
    - Is it lunch time already? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 06:38
    - In Spanish, that is called a "mistako". - TFox Nov 18, 06:35 2
      - (and technically, if there was no hot sauce on the sandwich, you blew an opportunity there too.) -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:38 1
        
        you must be confusing hot sauce with bacon. - znufrii Nov 18, 06:44
How about NFL Rookie of the Year thus far? -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:25 12
- Unquestionably Matt Ryan. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 06:27 11
  - I wouldn't say unquestionably. You have a trio of RBs, Johnson, Forte and Slaton having very nice years. - Jim Nov 18, 06:31 3
    - If Ryan, at this point wasn't a non-hometown-voter unanimous choice, I'd think less of the guy voting off him. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 06:34 2
      - I disagree. Think the Falcons would be a borderline playoff team without Michael Turner? Having that option helps a rookie QB quite a bit. - Jim Nov 18, 06:37 1
        
        The difference is rookie RBs have these kind of years all the time. Whereas, like ML said, successful rookie QBs happen once a decade. -- nm - Inigo Nov 18, 06:39
  - THIGPEN! -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 06:29 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - he's a rookie in my heart!!! -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 07:01
  - have to agree. -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:28
  - [deleted] 2
    - I just want to know how it is that he was so mistake prone vs the mediocre ACC and everyone else and then is so much better in the NFL. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 06:31 1
      - from what I read, his coach runs a very pro style offense. *shrug* -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:32
I dont know if the Harry Potter fans knew this or not but a new book is coming out in a couple weeks... - Beaker Nov 18, 06:23 6
- *sproing!* (I have the sexay edition getting delivered to my house. Can. Not. Wait.) -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 06:27 3
  - did you know about the older ones? was flicking through amazon and came across them, ordered them right quick :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:28 2
    - Yeah, I have them too. They are ok, fun enough, but really short. - TFox Nov 18, 06:31 1
      - yeah I figured, plus for $6 or so, the price was right -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:33

- why? sick? - zork Nov 18, 06:45 [Backboard] 1
  - Don't want to be here, want to be doing something in my field. Your IM, it's a gaming joke. -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 06:58

- It's a shame that neither the Titans or Giants really have that 1 guy...you have to look at Warner. Portis, I guess. Maybe Michael Turner. - Jim Nov 18, 06:19
- Hard to say. Maybe Haynesworth. -- nm - Inigo Nov 18, 06:15
- Clinton Portis -- far tougher schedule than the Cardinals. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 06:15
- Titans D...I think Portis' consideration has dropped big time...Warner as long as the Cards keep winning is probably mine too -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:15
awesome. Just used my Visa points to order $750 worth of gift cards ($500 gas, $200 Zellers and $50 at LaSenza) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 05:33 5
- your priorities are all wrong! the $500 should have been La Senza -- nm - zork Nov 18, 06:44
- must have had a lot of points -- nm - decline Nov 18, 06:05 1
  - we use that card to buy everything. Finally paying off :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 06:07
- Very nice. I did that with my Discover card a couple weeks ago. Easy way to knock several off the Xmas list. :) -- nm - sheba Nov 18, 05:39 1
  - LaSenza is for the wife :) -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 05:45
Nubby, did you get the Wii Speak with Animal Crossing? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 04:44 9
- Yes. -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 04:44 8
  - Thoughts? Does it work with other games yet? - Will Hunting Nov 18, 04:45 7
    - I haven't been able to use it, since I don't know anyone else with one. - nubby Nov 18, 04:48 6
      - AC is out now? Oohh. Need to find a used copy. -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 06:13 5
        
        NB: Don't buy Wii Speak used. The code that comes with the mic can only be used once. -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 06:29 1
        
        Thanks! -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 07:03
        
        It just came out Sunday, I think. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 06:15 2
        
        Woohoo! -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 06:20 1
        
        Some kid will make their mom buy it, get bored with it, then sell it at EvilStop. -- nm - lileve Nov 18, 06:21
Officials are preparing for as many as 4 million people for Obama's inauguration, which would be 3-4 times larger than previous big events on the Mall -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 18, 04:40 2

  - Full eps are linked from imdb -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 05:29
  - I do not know. I hope so. Anything to increase fan base. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 18, 04:29

  - That was a fun scene. Seriously though, Zachary Levi, in the space of one episode gets to (spoils) - HdnAgnda Nov 18, 04:28 6
    - I think this is my favorite show on tv. Every week, it cracks me up 2 or 3 times. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 04:29 5
      - I agree. This has actually moved up ahead of HIMYM this season in terms of what I look forward to on Mondays. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 18, 04:31 4
        
        I loved what was playing on the TVs in the BuyMore. -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 05:33 3
        
        The one I saw the Elmer Fudd valkyrie Bugs Bunny clip....did I miss anything else notable? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 05:36 1
        
        That was all I saw. -- nm - TWuG Nov 18, 05:45
        
        Spoil me please. I can't recall. -- nm - HdnAgnda Nov 18, 05:35

  - No, they've really been hiding it from critics. -- nm - secretslacker Nov 18, 04:43 2
    - Hmm, the Variety review came out today so I figured there were screenings going on. -- (link) - LMS Nov 18, 04:50 1
      - Well, apparently Variety is special (and they're not forced to hold their reviews like the rest of us are) -- nm - secretslacker Nov 18, 05:00
pay no attention to this post. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 04:07 1

  - he calls 'em like he sees 'em, and he's got no obligation to do anything else... - x Nov 18, 03:47 8
    - I don't argue the facts behind what he says. - ty97 Nov 18, 03:51 7

        i don't understand your position on this at all. paul volcker speaks to a conference in london and says what he thinks. how people or markets.... - x Nov 18, 04:08 4
        
        though I don't know what him saying this adds at this point. - ty97 Nov 18, 04:13 2
        
        do you really think he got up in front of the conference,said this one line and then sat down again?...nm - x Nov 18, 04:15 1
        
        it would be pretty awesome if he did, you must admit. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 04:48
