      - toxic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:07

      - Yeah right. You're just trying to cover up for Shannon's slacking, enabler. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 13:08 4

pmb, yeah, I've been assigned to go home and take a 3-hour nap after surgery tomorrow. - ty97 Jan 4, 12:58 5
- It's definitely normal. And you will be able to see when you wake from your nap tomorrow, but they really want you to keep your eyes closed. I think - pmb Jan 4, 13:01 1
  - Cool, I'll try not to sleep much tonight then. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 13:03
- Yeah, about 30minutes after the surgery, you'll get a burning in the eyes....go home, sleep for a few hours, you should wake up good as new -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:00 2
  - Lke, I'll be able to watch TV okay tomorrow night? - ty97 Jan 4, 13:02 1
    - I had my surgery at 10am, I slept at 10:30, woke at 2'ish and was pretty well good to go then. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:03

- [deleted] 6
  - I refuse to buy any of the other teams in the conference. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 12:57 3
    - I would just say that the Eagles just got blown up yesterday by the Cowboys. - Jim Jan 4, 12:58 2
      - [deleted]

Rant On: OMG rabid Steeler fans make me want to vomit... - Capstern Jan 4, 12:54 5
- amanda's rabid now too? -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 4, 13:09
- The Dolphins do totally blow though. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:59 2
  - That would be the Giants. Well the Giants D specifically. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 13:11
  - Well I felt we were decent. Almost beat 3 really good teams. Losing so many starters killed, but well I am ok admitting - thats football. - Capstern Jan 4, 13:03
- At least in the respect of "fans of non-playoff teams shouldn't talk shit" I'll agree with you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 4, 12:55
The Colts were winning games in dramatic fashion almost weekly. - Inigo Jan 4, 12:52 8
- I think it is the opposite. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:55 7
  - Actually, all the grief they've taken on this may turn out to be just the motivation they needed. Who knows? -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 12:55 6
    - That is what Manning has been saying. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:56 5
      - What I want to see is, if we get Colts/Pats in the second round, I want to see the ESPN SportsNation poll on it. - TFox Jan 4, 13:01 4
        
        The Pats would play the Chargers in the second round. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 13:08 3
        
        I was pretty sure the Bengals had the #3 seed. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:10 2
        
        iirc, the Pats had almost every tiebreaker going for them. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 13:15
        
        They said on the Bengals/Jets game that Cincy would be the #3 seed if they won. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 13:14
Cast of Survivor: Heroes and Villains revealed. sitwap - Volnelk Jan 4, 12:51 11

  - NBC is taking notes on how to play fast and loose. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 12:57 2
    - NBC? -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 12:59 1
      - NBC has a show called "Heroes", and has fuck all clue what to do with it. Therefore, they are taking notes from CBS. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:01
  - After last season, anyone with social gameplay skills is an asset -- nm - Roger More Jan 4, 12:57 6
    - Of course, but from what I see, these people tend to be on the "Villain" side. Oh well, it's not like I won't watch. :) -- nm - con_carne Jan 4, 13:01 5
      - Cirie is on Rupert's team because they're likable. The villains generally aren't likable. - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:02 4
        
        She's unlikeable, and she has the most appropriate surname of anyone ever. -- nm - Roger More Jan 4, 13:05 3
        
        oh, you mean parvati. I see. I was confused for a sec ('Fields'?) heh. I guess I just don't remember that much. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:07 2
        
        Yeah, I meant Parvati. (Of course, I don't find Rupert likeable either :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 4, 13:09 1
        
        I did for the first season he was on, then he got a bit less likeable ... - Beryllium Jan 4, 13:10
Stop the world I want to get off: Glee will dedicate one episode to all *original* music! -- (link) - nubby Jan 4, 12:50 1
- I still have no idea what this show is other than the title and that there is singing -- nm - zork Jan 4, 12:54
As a fan, why would you prefer to watch your team quit on history, to watching your team try for history and get legit beat by some insanity? - TFox Jan 4, 12:50 18
- I'll take the undefeated run and then getting beat by a better team one day (the Pats season) - Will Hunting Jan 4, 12:55
- [deleted] 16
  - (though i will also concede as i have from the beginning of this debate, that it is somewhat easier for a NE sports fan to say this...) - TFox Jan 4, 12:55
  - i would be curious to see if any Pats fans here would disagree with me. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:52 12
    - Watching the Broncos lose in Week 14...but going on to win the Super Bowl...sure I would have loved the undefeated season. - Jim Jan 4, 12:54 11
      - And can you prove that one correlated to the other? - Will Hunting Jan 4, 12:59 9
        
        He doesn't have to. I am done with this conversation. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 13:01
        
        Never said i could. I'm just taking issue with someone saying they'd rather lose the Super Bowl than a regular season game. - Jim Jan 4, 13:00 7
        
        Here's the choice as I'm considering it: quit in Week 17 and get a 100% chance of winning the SB, or play Week 17 and have a 60% chance. - TFox Jan 4, 13:04
        
        I guess these people must go nuts during the preseason. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 13:02
        
        I'd rather win em all and if I lose the 19th, so be it. Never quit on perfection. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:01 4
        
        I want a trophy and a parade, man. -- nm - Jim Jan 4, 13:04 3
        
        And you can't guarantee either by winning or losing in Week 15. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 13:06 2
        
        nor can you guarantee a Super Bowl ring by winning all of your regular season games. -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 4, 13:11 1
        
        so true. -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 13:12
      - but they just got beat, right? they didn't quit? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:58
  - to me, it is like pulling a pitcher in the 9th inning, when he has a no no going. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 4, 12:52
  - He just keeps scooting out farther and farther and farther on that branch. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 4, 12:52
boston.com Love Letters: Post Traumatic Stress Dating - Diva Jan 4, 12:50 11
- He needs a chick who can't have kids and has the medicals to back it up - Pippy Bells Jan 4, 13:18 2
  - as if he needed any more guilt about sex beyond simply growing up Catholic in the first place... -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 13:20 1
    - not everyone has that problem from growing up Catholic. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 13:27

- I thought being scared about impregnation was part of the game that every dude deals with? -- nm - nubby Jan 4, 12:53 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - It's one thing to be afraid of it, it's quite another to have first hand experience of just how wrong it can go. -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 12:56
- needs therapy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 12:52
- Get thee too a therapist. -- nm - znufrii Jan 4, 12:51

    - word? -- nm - TFox Jan 4, 12:53 1

- would you rather have ceregon's dog? -- nm - zork Jan 4, 12:48 7
  - My dog goes outside to barf. Other than the odd barking trigger, he's a very simple and sweet dog, just not very bright. -- nm - abba Jan 4, 12:52 3
    - stupid autonick...yeah that would be extra messy, since he has to follow me everywhere when i'm in the house -- nm - ceregon Jan 4, 12:55
    - mine are very smart but yap at noises. -- nm - zork Jan 4, 12:55
    - change one letter and you have a disaster on your hands. -- nm - loosilu Jan 4, 12:53
