Rich Eisen runs the 40 at the combine... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 2, 13:41 11
- Last time I was clocked in the 60 I ran a 7.0, I want to know my 40 now. -- nm - MDH Mar 2, 14:02 6
  - I used to run 12.2 100m in college...I'm thinking I'd be in the 4.7 range. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 14:13 5

      - Most likely my estimation of getting up to speed is flawed. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 14:19
      - put a double whopper on the end of a stick and tie it to his head -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 14:18 1
        
        Oh, I know I couldn't come close to it now. I ran 100yd last summer just to see and I'd slipped to 14seconds. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 14:20
      - I'm totally timing myself this weekend if I can -- nm - MDH Mar 2, 14:16
- I have no idea how fast I could run a 40 (and I know I'd probably collapse after) ... but I think I could do it faster than that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 13:54 1
  - erph ... and it sounds like the "19 steps" means each stride has to be 6.3 feet. That sounds daunting. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 14:05
- Jeebus, he's slow. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 13:48
- Hysterical. "And here comes Jacoby Ford" -- nm - MDH Mar 2, 13:47
Ooooh new Mousehunt shenanigans. Anyone caught something interesting yet? -- nm - celedhring Mar 2, 13:31 8

  - Have you caught any of the loot mice yet ? - eag Mar 2, 14:08 3
    - Only getting lowbie mice here so far. -- nm - celedhring Mar 2, 14:18 1
      - That's all there are to get there. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 14:19
    - Nope. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 14:15
- I caught another mouse last night - oblique Mar 2, 13:34 2
  - Use a drillbot next time! -- nm - celedhring Mar 2, 13:37 1
    - I'd suggest something with a higher luck than the Drillbot. Maybe the Christmas Cracker. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 2, 13:41
Hmm. My Gmail spam folder is down under 400. It's normally at 1000+ for a 30-day period. Someone must've busted a big spamhouse -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:31 18
- Odd. Mine was at 3000+ earlier, and now it's at 2053. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 13:57
- I rarely get any in my MojaveMeg account, and very few in my 'personal' account. - MojaveMeg Mar 2, 13:45
- I don't think mine has ever hit 100. I clean it out constantly. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 13:39 4
  - I used to, then I realized it's not counted as part of my disk space. -- nm - loosilu Mar 2, 13:44
  - Really? I mostly ignore mine -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:41 2
    - I don't like it being in bold font, implying action is needed. So I go in and clean it out. - TFox Mar 2, 13:44
    - mm hmm -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 13:42
- I just checked my most-spammed account: 1368. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:35 10

    - about that, I think. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:42
  - spamslut -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 2, 13:36 7
    - the 'fun' there is that I've given out that address the least of any I use regularly. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:39 6
      - Ever since I switched to gmail, I don't care where my email address gets out to. Gmail rocks at stopping spam and if I'm really curious about where - oblique Mar 2, 13:40 5
        
        For some reason, adding that to some registration sites won't let it go through for me. It says invalid email address, which pisses me off. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 13:58 1
        
        Yes, that occurs when people filter email addresses based on incorrect assumptions about the email RFC -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 13:59
        
        fwiw, my aol (shutup) addresses get less spam than my gmail ones. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:45 1
        
        I very rarely have any spam make it into my inbox ... but in the last two months, four messages have eeked through. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 13:46

I have nothing to base this on but Ohno strikes me as the kind of dude who hits on the girlfriends of large dudes and then... - Mel Profit Mar 2, 13:25 4
- When I see him - JaxSean Mar 2, 13:28 3
  - mine pings more than a bit. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 13:50 1
    - One ping only, Vasily -- nm - Marco Ramius Mar 2, 13:54
  - That's just because he always has his mouth open and hands behind his back -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:28
"So, XP is different than Vista?" -- nm - overheard in the office Mar 2, 13:24 4
- We're gonna party like it's 1999! -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:27 3
  - apparently, the rest of the company in getting upgraded to Vista. Legal gets stuck with XP (which is an improvement over our current Windows 2000 envi -- nm - znufrii Mar 2, 13:28 2
    - *shakes head* I can't imagine upgrading to Vista at this point. I'd just do nothing or skip it and go to Win7 -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 13:29 1
      - fwiw, I've heard that's what a lot of companies are doing. -- nm - b. Mar 2, 13:31

    - I have oregano, lemon thyme, chives, and parsley so far. Time to plant a 2nd tray. - MojaveMeg Mar 2, 13:40 2
      - you could try buying some lady bugs to help get rid of the aphids -- nm - kare Mar 2, 13:47 1
        
        True - but that might be overkill for just one plant :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 2, 14:06

  - The ad from the site last week had Lysacek, Davis & White, Belbin & Agosto, Mirai Nagasu, Jeremy Abbott and Joannie Rochette for their Canadian dates. - Diva Mar 2, 13:12 3
    - Yeah, Lysacek is not listed on the Providence stop, nor Space Alien & White. Sasha and Belbin are coming though. - TFox Mar 2, 13:17 2
      - that's a good deal. -- nm - Diva Mar 2, 13:48
      - ohhh, I see. because Lysacek is doing Dancing with the Stars. I get it. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 13:19

The top 12 are: - David Mar 2, 12:49 17
- Also: how pathetic are the Royals that after having a season for the ages, Greinke can't crack the top 12? - musubi Mar 2, 13:03 8
  - its ok, we take solice in the shennanigans that the mets put there fans through. - tRuMaN Mar 2, 13:13 5
    - Tragically, KC is probably the only team in MLB that I feel more sorry for than the Mets. It's true. - musubi Mar 2, 13:18 4
      - I feel bad for the Pirates fans, even though I know brighter days are coming soon. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 13:46 3
        
        What...73 wins? - Will Hunting Mar 2, 13:48 2
        
        I'm not saying they're a perfect org, but they aren't as bad as they were, and look to be heading in the right direction. - musubi Mar 2, 14:06 1
        
        I'll wait to see any progress from them. Outside of Alvarez, I don't see much talent on that team yet. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 14:14
  - The bias against top starting pitching among fantasy experts isn't really defensible. -- nm - TFox Mar 2, 13:04 1
    - While I agree to some extent, that is not as nutty as leaving Mauer out of the top 12. (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 13:11
- I hate ESPN's fantasy rankings. I think Karabell is excellent, but whoever does their rankings is nuts. - TFox Mar 2, 13:02
- Fantasy wise, I have to wonder why Prince would be ahead of Tex. I think Utley's worth more than Braun, but that's splitting hairs. - musubi Mar 2, 12:57 6
  - But we're not talking about a normal correction here. We're talking about putting a guy who homered once every 62 at bats in 12th. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:58 1
    - Oh yeah, I totally agree, I wouldn't rank him top 12, I think that's faulty. But *if* he returns to 08 form, it's justifited. (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 13:01
  - I'm not sure how Mauer wouldn't be in the top 12 unless there's been a run on .350 hitting catchers with power in the last few months that I missed. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:58 3
    - My question to you: you think that non-fantasy that Hanley Ramirez isn't top 12 in baseball? - musubi Mar 2, 13:16 1
      - I had forgotten Hanley until we realized it was fantasy, he's always top 3 in those listing so it got triggered. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 13:32
    - Holy crap, that *is* nuts. Mauer trailed only Pujols in OPS *as a catcher*. That's indefensible. (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 12:58
