- spoils - Jelly Mar 10, 07:18
- played about a hour last night. This is my first FF game - takes a bit of getting used to, but it is very pretty. -- nm - decline Mar 10, 07:14 3
  - The one FF game I own is on the PS2 (I think it's 9? Maybe 10?). It is/was pretty, but I hated the game play. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 07:18 1
    - Sounds like 10. :) -- nm - Jelly Mar 10, 07:19
  - It is a bit different - a lot of time putting the controller down. - Jelly Mar 10, 07:18

So with Haims passing..does Feldman spiral or has a burden been lifted - I am curious to see -- nm - Capstern Mar 10, 07:02 3
- He'll take it like a man, sad, then move on....his wife will celebrate. -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 10, 07:07
- He'll probably end up on Larry King or something like that tonight to talk about it. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 07:04 1
  - I saw a few eps of that reality show - he seems like he ended up pretty well adjusted even after the Michael Jackson worship... - Capstern Mar 10, 07:05
there should be a song about being stuck in boring meetings -- nm - tru mobile Mar 10, 06:59
This is (apparently) 24's last season. -- (link) - nubby Mar 10, 06:55 4
- bummed - been enjoying this season (except the starbuck subplot) -- nm - Capstern Mar 10, 07:04 3
  - Not me. I'd say below average compared to past seasons. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 10, 07:08 2
    - much stronger than last year. -- nm - Remlik Mar 10, 07:16
    - Episodes 5 to 12 are always dull though. I'm enjoying it, but hoping this is the last one -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 07:10

        does someone here run HWDYK? -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 10, 07:04 4
        
        look at the post right above yours. :) -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 07:05 1
        
        They should do a HWDYK for HWDYK. -- nm - nubby Mar 10, 07:12

Is absent-mindedness a sign of aging? - ty97 Mar 10, 06:29 16
- I would think it relates to the stress you are having with all your coworkers - amoxy Mar 10, 07:03

- it's called AAADD -- (link) - marcel Mar 10, 06:56
- I've been feeling absent-minded since I was 24 -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 10, 06:50
- I hate when I wander into a room and forget what I needed to do -- nm - Strongbad Mar 10, 06:37 2
  - This is what I notice happening with more frequency. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 10, 06:42 1
    - I've done that all my life -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:43
- yep, over the hill. - decline Mar 10, 06:34

  - i had week like that about a month ago. i have my phone with me ALWAYS, & i use my phone to buzz me into my building. - Andie Mar 10, 06:33 3
    - why do you need it to buzz in? -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:40 2
      - because we only have one building key? - Andie Mar 10, 06:40 1
        
        oh, I get it. You hit 9 or 6 or whatever on it to open the door. Gotcha. -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:43

      - Huh...that sounds like a good game mode added in. - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:33 10
        
        Our Wii arrives later this week, so We'll be up for destroying you on the links. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 06:51 6
        
        360 version. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:52 5
        
        You have both systems, and play on the one where you don't get to swing? weirdo. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 06:57 4
        
        Becuase I don't much care for the Wii's online mechanics and really, the TW game on Wii wasn't that great - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:59 3
        
        hm. I was really impressed with 2010 and the swing mechanics with the Motion Plus. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 07:13 2
        
        I don't have Motion Plus and only had the 09 version. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 07:19
        
        I don't have Motion Plus and only had the 09 version. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 07:18
        
        It does sound fun. Now all they need is to include Augusta as a course. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 10, 06:40 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I don't see that happening; Augusta likes itself too much. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:43
I can't belive the NCAA March Madness expansion to 96 teams may well become reality. I read earlier that 80% of fans oppose it, 65% very strongly. -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 10, 06:27 9
- 100% of the parties involved are strongly in favor of money. -- nm - nubby Mar 10, 06:51
- Mike and Mike were destroying this idea this morning. Apparently, people are saying that it's a reward for a good season... - Jim Mar 10, 06:50
- Why are we 10 days into March and I haven't heard much about 'March Madness'? When does it start? Do we have a Yahoo pick 'em? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 06:50 5
  - Conference tournaments are going on now. The bracket will be unveiled on Sunday evening. Tournament starts next week. No pick'em that I'm aware of. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 06:51 2
    - Is the Pick 'em available, or just hasn't anyone set up a group yet? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 06:54 1
      - Looks like it's available: -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 10, 06:56
  - Selection Sunday is this week...so the field isn't set yet. -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 06:50
  - Bracket is set Sunday and games start on the 18th. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:50
- That would kill most of my interest in it. Just watch, they'll still have a play-in game to squeeze that extra bit of money -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:48

the comments on this story about Corey Haim's death are shockingly polite and not infuriating -- (link) - Andie Mar 10, 06:22 3
- There's still some hope for humanity. Also, I'd forgotten that he was from Toronto. -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:39
- Honestly though...after selling autographed pill bottles and his teeth on Ebay...he couldn't have fallen much farther. - Jim Mar 10, 06:37 1
  - so true, -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 06:37

27 cancel WaPo subscriptions over photo of two men kissing. -- (link) - loosilu Mar 10, 06:12 11
- No truth to the rumors that 6 of them were gay Republican lawmakers - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:14 8
  - here's the Ombudsman's blog. At least some of the complainers had the balls to give their names. -- (link) - loosilu Mar 10, 06:18 6
    - This woman showed a remarkable bit of self-awareness - Fuzzy Mar 10, 06:38 4
      - yeah, I disagree with her, but she expressed herself well. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 07:12
      - She still cancelled her subscription over just one photo, and she's probably wrong about it being an affront to WaPo's readership if it lost 27 - Roger More Mar 10, 06:55 2
        
        *shrug* It was her choice and she made it with the acknowledgment that society is changing too quickly for her. - Fuzzy Mar 10, 07:08 1
        
        Sure, it's her choice and I'm not suggesting that she change her mind on gay marriage. But it doesn't mean I excuse it just because she was polite. - Roger More Mar 10, 07:14
    - A number of supposed "new subscriber" comments as a result, which is good if even partially true. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 06:22
  - heh. I was going to type "7?" until I opened your message. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 06:15

- 10 Chuck Years Old, since Chuck Norris kicks regular years' asses. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 10, 06:11
- Trick question. Chuck Norris doesn't age. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 10, 06:11 6
  - I think that technically he does but then bends the space-time continuum to reverse it. -- nm - zork Mar 10, 06:45 1
    - we sure he doesnt just absorb life energy of other actors to maintain his youthful power? -- nm - Capstern Mar 10, 07:03

Question re: the Denver church school that didn't re-enroll the lesbian's child.....do we think they have any bastard children or - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:08 9
- I get your point, but one clarification -- nm - ty97 Mar 10, 06:15 5
  - The Catholic Church is "okay" with divorcees if they are single. - ty97 Mar 10, 06:16 4
    - And if they're not.....do you agree that with their precedent set here that the kids should be denied continued education? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 06:19 2
      - Personally I think they should take any kid who would normally be admitted. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 06:29
      - while they're at it they should check the tags on all the kids clothes every day to make sure they're not wearing mixed fibers... - znufrii Mar 10, 06:25
    - that sounds right. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 06:18
- The last thing I expect from them is consisentency in applying their "rules" -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 06:11
- Exactly. Are they going to investigate the life circumstances of every child to make sure they're Catholic enough? - loosilu Mar 10, 06:09 1
  - "This kid hasn't been molested by Father O'Brien yet." "Get rid of him!" -- nm - Don Homer Mar 10, 06:10
