- they won't get fooled again -- nm - tik tok Jan 28, 12:11
who puts lettuce and cucumber and tomato on an egg salad sandwich? I mean, really. Sheesh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 12:05 9
- That's gross -- nm - Stephen Jan 28, 12:07 1
  - Not to mention, the egg salad itself is not very good. I make way better stuff. - Beryllium Jan 28, 12:09
- I've recently started putting diced radish in my egg salad -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 12:07 3
  - A slice of ham is nice. Or diced ham mixed in with the egg salad. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jan 28, 12:15
  - *in* the egg salad is fine, but as an accoutrement? Blasphemy. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 12:09 1
    - I think the lettuce is fine. But personally, sandwich places don't do egg salad very well, so I can take or leave the bland tomato etc :) -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 12:11
- seriously, what a way to ruin a perfectly good lettuce, tomato, and cucumber sandwich. -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 12:05 2
  - Word. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 12:10
  - Lord Sandwich is rotating in his grave -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 28, 12:07
Kilbo, I have the HP TX-2500z. It's dirt cheap because it's all plastic. Feels like a toy. - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 28, 12:04
Thinking about it, I think Salinger's work has a lot in common with Wes Anderson's work, despite the different mediums. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 12:03
Oh, poll: School with the best academic reputation from each of the BCS conferences. (ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC) -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:01 25
- ACC-Duke/Virginia, Big East - Georgetown/Notre Dame, Big 10 - Northwestern/Michigan, Big 12 - Texas, Pac 10 - Stanford, SEC -Vanderbilt. -- nm - pmb Jan 28, 12:15

  - I'll still maintain Cal is better, but I'll join you in mocking the SEC - crash davis Jan 28, 12:15
  - Georgetown isn't in the conference for BCS -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 12:12 2
    - Yeah, if Georgetown counts for the discussion, they're definitely the answer for the Big East. If they don't, it's Syracuse. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:16
    - Oh my bad. I didn't realize we were only looking at football. I'll say....Pitt? (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 12:14
  - *slap* -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 12:12
  - Oh, Georgetown. I change my Big East answer, if we're doing basketball conferences. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:12
- Should we give the Big East a break and count their basketball schools too? -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:08
- hmm, duke, vandy, ?, northwestern, kansas state, stanford -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 28, 12:06
- ACC: Duke, SEC: Vandy, Big East: Syracuse(?), Big Ten: Northwestern, Big 12: Kansas(?), Pac 10: Stanford -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:04 5
  - I agree with all of these except for the Big 12, which doesn't have a school that jumps off the page in this regard. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:10
  - I thought you were a physicist. - crash davis Jan 28, 12:05 3
    - Absolutely. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:07 2
      - you bombmakers should show a little more loyalty to your own -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:09 1
        
        Well, it's close, but Stanford is definitely higher. Even in physics. -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 12:11
- Big Ten: Northwestern. -- nm - Callisto Jan 28, 12:03 2
  - ah, I forgot about Northwestern being in the Big 10 -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:08 1
    - though Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Purdue are all solid, depending on your focus. -- nm - Callisto Jan 28, 12:12
- none of the above -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 12:02
- Pac-10: Cal, SEC: Vanderbilt, not so sure about the others -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:02 4
  - I think Big 10 would be Michigan. I would have said Stanford for Pac 10. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 12:03 3
    - Stanford is great, but here are a few facts about Cal - crash davis Jan 28, 12:08 2
      - Cal is a fine institution, but in terms of academic prestige, they're still second to Standford by a decent margin. (nm) - musubi Jan 28, 12:12 1
        
        name me one thing that Stanford ever blew to kingdom come -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:17

- i dare them to run it back to back against the Tebow ad -- nm - tik tok Jan 28, 11:51 2
  - Dennis Prager was concerned about the Tebow ad precisely because then he couldn't think of why a Pro Gay Marriage shouldn't run if someone paid for it - Dano Jan 28, 11:58 1
    - Love that guy. - Dr.Vermin Jan 28, 12:11
Okay, my goal for the next 12 hours is to see 7 of the remaining 12 films on my list *and* beat Borderlands. Let's see how well I do. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:49 22
- what criteria made up the list? -- nm - Max Jan 28, 11:50 18
  - I'm down to the dregs of 2009 wide releases, stuff like Gamer, Post Grad and New Moon. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:52 17
    - i had no desire to see "gamer" until the nyt critic called it "a futuristic vomitorium of bosoms and bullets"... - x Jan 28, 12:03 1

        this sounds like something I may have to rent -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 12:01
        
        Yeah, I like that it's used as an insult, too. -- nm - David Jan 28, 12:01 2
        
        do Halo players ever use it as a compliment? -- nm - Max Jan 28, 12:04 1

Dane, proper handball, to me, is played in courts, much as squash courts, and even in larger sized concrete courts, where you use your hand to smack - Loyola Jan 28, 11:49 8
- a handball ball is smaller than at "soccer" ball - Danedukenuuk Jan 28, 11:54 4
  - Let me rephrase, imo only deeply disturbed wingnuts would choose to willingly dedicate themselves to playing OH ;) -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 12:02 3
    - goalies are fearless and i'm impressed that Croatia's penalty taker has only 4 fingers - Danedukenuuk Jan 28, 12:06 2
      - The ball doesn't even hurt you. It's like a miniature beachball. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 12:08 1
        
        you need to play with the real equipment - Danedukenuuk Jan 28, 12:10

- Damn, an SEC fan is talking smack about the intellect of another school. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 11:45 4
  - it is amusing -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 11:52
  - We keep Vandy around specifically to ward off such statements. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:46 2
    - and the Pac-10 schools keep the Arizona ones around to not be called an egghead league -- nm - crash davis Jan 28, 11:53
    - And also, to be awesome. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:48

    - we've discussed this before, i think you have to read it as a teenager. once you are older you just find him whiny. - Andie Jan 28, 11:55 1
      - I found him whiny and meh even as a teen -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 28, 11:58
  - That has been a point of conjecture for decades. I don't know that anyone really knows what Salinger really did, or his wishes re: release. -- nm - TFox Jan 28, 11:48
- Really? Wow. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 11:43 6
  - Just is what it is. Salinger did more to pull my childhood love of reading into an adult love of literature than any other author. - TFox Jan 28, 11:50 5
    - Hmm. After looking at a list, I realize I may have never read one of his books. But when someone makes it to that age passes, I am pretty understand -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 28, 11:54 4
      - Oh, it's not shocking. He's old. He's just a titanic figure in my mind. Always #1 on my "who I'd love to meet" list. - TFox Jan 28, 11:55 3
        
        That was Douglas Adams for me. He was always on me "Dinner with 5" list. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 11:59

Ha Ha. Dogs are dumb. -- (link) - Dano Jan 28, 11:41 [youtube] 2

- just another reason why I hate Manning Face. - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 28, 11:44
- Because Mel hates the Colts too much to have an unbiased evaluation of their football team. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:44 7
  - I don't hate the team, beyond normal sports rivalries...but that Face makes me crazy with hate. -- nm - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 28, 11:58
  - (And I reiterate that I just don't understand people who hate Peyton Manning.) -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:44 5
    - beat you to it. -- nm - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 28, 11:45 4
      - It's like hating the nicest kid in your school for being so damned friendly. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:45 3
        
        He's no Billy Volek. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 11:59

        Why yes, I am adorable, but that's more of a side conversation. -- nm - David Jan 28, 11:46
- The real question is, why aren't you gay for pixie? -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 11:42
- Have you seen him!?! -- nm - Mel Jan 28, 11:41 1
  - like a bottle of Dom -- nm - tik tok Jan 28, 11:42
