Holy shit...did I see a Survivor Type reference on the BBQ thread?? Well done, Raygun. -- nm - Jim Mar 9, 09:19 1
- that story still creeps me out. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:23
Ika question: 100 fire ships and 5 rams...50 PWC's should crush that right? -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:17 7
- yes -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:21 3
  - with 50% loses per below? -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:22 2
    - Depends on who is defending and who is attacking. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:23 1
      - I would be the attacker -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:24
- I'm not real familiar with naval battle, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think you'll win, but take major damage. - musubi Mar 9, 09:20 2
  - yikes, I have 15 subs and 27 balisttas sent in addition.... -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:22 1
    - Subs help a lot, especially if the other side has none. But 100 fireships sheer numbers do a lot of damage, because so many stay on the sidelines. - musubi Mar 9, 09:25
LIR: Hotkiss. You probably should just go down to Fisherman's Wharf. Hit Ghirardelli square for chocolate. Chinatown, stuff like that -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 09:13 3
- I found FW supremely disappointing, other than seal watching. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:27
- Is the Castro district worth going to in the daytime? I've always wanted to go, and no way my conservative family would take me there -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 9, 09:20 1
  - There's a definite "freak show" atmosphere, and the Castro Theatre itself is gorgeous. - Reagen Mar 9, 09:27
One thing I'm still not used to after all this time: the Mexican breakfast hours of 11am, lunch at 2-4pm, and dinner 8-9pm -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 9, 09:13 6
- acid reflux at 11. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:18
- Second breakfast: check. Second lunch: check. First dinner: check - Will Hunting SI Mar 9, 09:17 4
  - First lunch, 2nd lunch and 2nd dinner. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:19 3
    - you forgot elevensies... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:20
    - It is indeed time for first lunch. I think I must opt for Subway today -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 09:20 1
      - I'm holding on by a thread right now, until my son, wife, and the bag with the golden arches comes marching through the front door. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:21
[deleted] 6
- you go find out, you're closer... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:13 5
  - hee! -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 09:18
  - I think he's trying to suggest that you're expendable or something. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 09:13 2
    - it's because I wore my red shirt to work today, isn't it? -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:15
    - *shhhh* -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:14
  - Z's got his sass on today! -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 9, 09:13
mlb.com, you suck. How can you have no game video of Aroldis Chapman. - musubi Mar 9, 09:07 10
- Well, they were waiting for Mr Strasburg - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:11 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Thing is, it's the same for every prospect. The scouting reports are phenomenal on his potential though. - musubi Mar 9, 09:17 1
      - Err, same for every *pitching* prospect. - musubi Mar 9, 09:21
    - Yep...raw. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:15
- *ahem!* -- nm - Ichiro Mar 9, 09:11 3
  - Ichiro wasn't a FA signing, he was acquired through the posting system. - musubi Mar 9, 09:14 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - And El Duque, and Jose Contreras, and Rey Ordonez (Rey!). Just about all the Cubans are/were. (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:19
- They're busy creating new cameras to capture his fastball. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:09
Speaking of food, anyone going to check out that ABC show they previewed during the Oscars? Food Revolution or something? -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:05 1
- the one they imported from England, featuring Jamie Oliver? Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 09:13
A while back, I did the thing of linking my flickr account to my facebook profile so that it automatically showed everything I posted there. Does that - Reagen Mar 9, 09:05 5
- I've found it to be intermittent. You can open up the settings on your wall and click refresh on the Flickr import - oblique Mar 9, 09:10 4
  - Yeah, it's a pain in the ass. My Google phone doesn't have a Flickr upload feed. I'm a little frustrated in the lack of Flickr integrated apps. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 09:12 3
    - Huh? Don't they have a "Photostream" app. I could've swore that was part of Android - oblique Mar 9, 09:16 2
      - I know. There's one, but it's $1.99 and it's a third-party app. grr. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 09:21 1
        
        Unfortunately, I think Flickr's only "official" offering is some Android features on their m.flickr.com site -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 09:22
One more trip story: the flight home, there wa a large lady sitting next to a guy, the guy started arguing with the flight attendants that she was -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:05 7
- Geez - just say you're not comfortable and ask if there is another seat available. -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 09:13
- too fat and intruding on his seat...while she was sitting there...he must have called her every fat associated name in the book. -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:06 4
  - finally after everyone was seated there was an aisle seat left and the FA's offerred it to him...he refused. asshole -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:06 3
    - PS: the large lady was one of the $100 winners I mentioned on B2 :) The Flight Attendants got quite a kick out of awarding her prize in front of him -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:07 1
      - nice :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:08
    - wow, what a jerk -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:07
- Wow. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:05
Well I am not sure why McDonalds does what it does in terms of offering the shamrock shake but it looks like I will have to make my own. - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:03 29
- Here's an off the web recipe: - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:07
- i remember last summer all i wanted was a mcdonalds chocolate shake, for weeks. there is only 1 mcdonalds i ever cross paths with... - Andie Mar 9, 09:04 27
  - Do you have Wendy's up there? Frostys are good. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 09:07 26
    - you can't drink Frostys. you have to eat Frostys. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:09
    - oh sure, but i don't love frostys. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:08 23
      - They are good, but not grea -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 09:17
      - Blasphemer! - musubi Mar 9, 09:10 21
        
        Grounds for an ST divorce! -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:12 3
        
        but it works out this way - i'll never steal your frosty from you. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:13 2
        
        Frosties for BBQ - I think you get the better end of the deal -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 09:14
        
        Okay, all is forgiven. - Spawn Mar 9, 09:14
        
        seriously. Andie doesn't like Frosty's and amanda doesn't eat ice cream. What is wrong with ST women? -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 09:11 16
        
        they're crazy bitches -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 9, 09:19
        
        *narrows eyes at you* -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:12 9
        
        don't get me started on the skulls - oblique Mar 9, 09:14 8
        
        don't get me started on sex with pets on the bed. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:15 7
        
        yes, kilbo. please do not get loosi started on having sex with a pet, on the bed or anywhere else for that matter. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:16 6
        
        heh -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 09:23
        
        Fuuuuuuuuck! - oblique Mar 9, 09:18 2
        
        Baaaaaaaaaang! - Spawn Mar 9, 09:22 1
        
        heh -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 09:23
        
        "Welcome to ST, where one pet-sex-fiend is often enough." -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 09:17
        
        So. Very. Word. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:16
        
        i don't 'dislike' them, i'm just neutral. i'd never go out of my way to go to Wendy's. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:12 4
        
        SheFox hates Wendy's. I don't understand it. Luckily we both love almost all other fast food. :) -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:13 3
        
        Crazy, when the spicy chicken sandwich is superior to all other fast food. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:17 2
        
        They sell chili! What else do they have to do?! -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:17 1
        
        Small chilli and a baked potato! Delicious $2 lunch! - musubi Mar 9, 09:24
    - *washes down his Frosty with 2 big bacon classics* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:08
Floridians: Is there anything specifically wrong with Charlie Crist, or is it just the teabaggers don't like him for not being sufficiently teabaggy? - Reagen Mar 9, 09:01 1
- He dared to take the stimulus money last year when he thought federal help would salvage jobs - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:02
later today I smoke a leg of lamb for dinner. it's had dry rub on it all night in the fridge. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 9, 08:59 3
- I've been trying to cut back. I'm down to smoking one leg a day. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 9, 09:01
- WANT!!! -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:00 1
  - c'mon over. there is more than enough for 2 -- nm - peglegpete Mar 9, 09:05
znu - resort food. it's pretty notoriously bad unless you are at 5 star. you have to remember where you are and their limitations. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 08:59 12
- oh yeah, but they managed to throw under even my severely lowered expections :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:00 4
  - impressive! when do we get pics? -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:03 3
    - of the food? -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:04 2
      - heh, food, resort, etc etc -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:05 1
        
        should have the few we actually took up on facebook this week sometime... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:06
- the food at my resort in Mexico was amazing. maybe the place had more stars than I thought. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:00 6
  - Mexico is in a different class that the DR or other islands. -- nm - Andie Mar 9, 09:01 5
    - [deleted] 3
      - i just find mexican all inclusives more 'north americanized' in terms of their tastes. - Andie Mar 9, 09:10
      - I guess they figure they already have your money, it's not like you're going to spend more money somewhere else... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:09
      - I think there is a wide range. I was at a pretty nice place (Riu). -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:09
    - ah. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:02
Japan Airlines Stewardess Uniforms Sold on Black Market To Fulfil Sex Fantasies -- (link) - Hotkiss Mar 9, 08:58 7
- For some reason, this makes me think of the maid cafes in Tokyo -- (link) - ty97 Mar 9, 09:01 1
  - I'm always reminded of JD's line about Japan being the ultimate expression of the notion of "it's always the quiet ones..." -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:08
- .........people are nuts. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:00 4
  - What the actual ratio of hot stewardesses to "shudder" now a days? 1:10? -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:02 3
    - not in Asia - ty97 Mar 9, 09:04 2
      - fair enough. In NA there a lot who've passed their best before dates for fantasy purposes. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 09:06 1
        
        Definitely. On my airline of usual choice, even the young FAs seem to be nearing social security eligibility -- nm - ty97 Mar 9, 09:11
How can you not like BBQ? - Will Hunting Mar 9, 08:57 41
- its Spawn, why would this suprise anyone? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:00
- only if it's bad bbq... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 08:59 10
  - oh stop. yet another food that never gets to "bad". it ranges from "awesome" to "pretty good". like pizza and beer. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:00 9
    - [deleted] 4
      - what does that have to do with BBQ? - znufrii Mar 9, 09:12 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        like I ever pay attention to it anyway? -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:21
      - "You got a *cake*? Why not just call it a 'wedding bow down to society dessert', you sheep?" -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:10
    - I agree until you said "beer". There is definitely bad beer. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 09:04 1
      - (ok, true. it's not as wide of a class as some folks think, but some beer really sucks, granted.) -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 09:05
    - as long as they know what they're doing, more or less. -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:02
    - hmmm, I disagree. there is bad BBQ. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:01
- i got nada -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 9, 08:58
- If you're a hideously evil monster, I suppose it's possibly to not like BBQ. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 08:58 1
  - I am a supertaster, and it wrecks my mouth. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:59
- wait, aren't you the guy who doesn't like cheese? -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 08:58 3
  - i like cheese, i just cannot eat cheese. - tRuMaN Mar 9, 08:59
  - I eat cheese - Will Hunting Mar 9, 08:58 1
    - ah, I misunderstood. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 08:58
- I don't like "hot" food. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:58 20
  - You are the worst foot-eater in the history of food eaters. (and I include David in that group) (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 09:08 4
    - ladyfingers, they taste like ladyfingers... -- nm - Survivor Type Mar 9, 09:11
    - I think Spawn would actually die of starvation outside of North America or Europe. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:10 2
      - Hardly. - Spawn Mar 9, 09:11 1
        
        Didn't see a single one in Africa. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:13
  - wait, how did you get that BBQ is hot? also, hot spicy or hot temperature? - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:01 5
    - Maybe it is the supertaster thing, but it all tastes like pain. Some BBQ potato chips I can eat, that is it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:02 4
      - honestly, I dont think its a "supertaster" thing, i think its something else. - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:03 3
        
        Supertasters are real, and I think Spawn is one. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:07
        
        Veggies tell a different story. -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 09:05 1
        
        perhaps you should stop listening to the veggies and seek medical help. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:05
  - Me either, there's plenty of bbq that's not very spicy at all. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 08:59 8
    - the Im is the reaction I got last time i brought chili leftovers to work. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:01 7
      - I don't do well with spicy...we had some Indians in the office; "here, try a dessert!" 3 hours later, I'm still drinking water to get the taste to - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:03 6
        
        What was the dessert? Indian desserts are usually super sweet or cakey and cloying, or both -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 09:11 1
        
        Evil topped with a side of molten lava. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 09:12
        
        yeah, see, I love spicy foods. - tRuMaN Mar 9, 09:04 3
        
        me too. I have limits, like I can't eat Vindaloo. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:08 2
        
        mmm...vindaloo... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 09:10 1
        
        if you get the real thing (which is hard in the US) it will blow your eyeballs out. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 09:12
- it has a flavor. -- nm - loosilu Mar 9, 08:57
WE WIN AGAIN! -- nm - WTF Mar 9, 08:56 1
- I quit! -- nm - Spawn Mar 9, 08:56
