I've been meaning to ask this on here: I have a second XBox controller that I bought off of Amazon last year. The 'trigger' button is effed up. Bad. - JaxSean Mar 18, 07:21
Just a request...as many of us are at work today and thus not in front of tvs...can we keep any game spoilers inside the messages? - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:17 8
- This is the first time I've ever been home during the first round. I'm more than a little excited. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 18, 07:19 4
  - I don't have vacation time to do it, but I would take the first 2 days off in the past. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:20 3
    - It's my busiest time of year. I so wish I could not be here. Oh well. - TFox Mar 18, 07:23 2
      - (Plus, if more than the first 10 minutes of Vandy/Murray St makes it on tv, that can only mean horrible news.) - TFox Mar 18, 07:24
      - Ed the Normal can't get out to see any of the first 3 days due to accounting. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:24
- OMG I can't believe Duke Lost!!! -- nm - Redmond Mar 18, 07:17 2
  - Can you please, given your history, root for Duke? Thanks much. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:18 1
    - I would rather root for Osama Binladen. No way I am rooting for Puke, or Notre Dame. EVAH! -- nm - Redmond Mar 18, 07:27
yeah, so I bought a brand new Samsung 32" for the bedroom. Got to keep the preggers happy. $441 too! -- nm - CQ Mar 18, 07:08
NCAA Survivor Poll: you have to pick one team that will win today, but you can't use that team again for the length of the tourney. - TFox Mar 18, 06:55 11
- Notre Dame -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 07:07
- Notre Dame -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 18, 07:05
- Richmond -- nm - CQ Mar 18, 07:05
- So will win round one, but not make it past round two? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:58 3
  - or, at least, you wouldn't lay money on them making it past round two. - TFox Mar 18, 07:01
  - Right -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:58 1
    - Xavier. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 07:02
- Purdue. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:58 3
  - I think they play tomorrow. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 18, 07:07
  - I felt Purdue was too big a risk to not escape today. -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 07:02 1
    - I might pick Maryland as my 2nd choice in this; I'm pretty confident they make it today, but I don't see them beating Mich State. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:04

  - That horse is much more entertaining then SJP. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:27
Annoying... - znufrii Mar 18, 06:38 10
- Her? Is this the same Hamlet play that has about (spoils) - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:41 9
  - Well, this is an opera adaptation (notorious for originally giving H a happy ending by crowning him king of Denmark) - znufrii Mar 18, 06:45 8
    - Aren't operas supposed to have grisly endings? -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 06:57 7
      - some of them. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 07:00
      - [deleted] 5
        
        I wonder if the guy who wrote the opera was reincarnated as the Disney exec who said "Let's make The Little Mermaid" -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 07:01 1
        
        There's certainly interesting parallels to be drawn there. - znufrii Mar 18, 07:05
        
        Actually... - znufrii Mar 18, 06:59 2

  - word -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 06:45
  - wait, i'm unemployed. how long would it take me to drive there? i'll come and de-ghost you. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 06:44 22
    - I live like 15 minutes from him and have already offered to open the box. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 07:22 11
      - Clearly, it should be the most expendable STer who opens the box -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 07:23 10
        
        I knew it was a bad idea to wear a red shirt today. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 07:25
        
        I can think of some people who would vote for me. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 07:25 3
        
        boo hoo! suck it up, princess! - Roger More Mar 18, 07:26 1
        
        I even have a red shirt to wear! -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 07:26
        
        I think he was. (nm) - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:25

        officer thinking -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 07:25 3
        
        Oh, and in this envelope, it's 2 winning powerball tickets worth 100m and 85mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:26 2
        
        ftr, i actually bought lottery tickets for last night's big draw. i'm not rich yet. - Andie Mar 18, 07:27 1
        
        You don't know the joy it brings me to see that you actually have to clarify that you *didn't* win the lottery. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 07:29
    - you can take some solace in the fact that, while i intended to just chuck the boxes unopened, that my wife insists that we open them - prayformojo Mar 18, 06:49 3
      - no matter how junky things in those boxes look, take them somewhere to see if they are worth something -- nm - zork Mar 18, 07:24
      - I can get them down. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 07:22
      - :) -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 07:02

      - which weekend is it again? -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 07:07

        [deleted] 1

  - maybe it is in the boxes... -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 06:46

[deleted] 3

- Perfect time to start is at age 57. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:19
i find the Sandra Bullock news on B2 sad, but they used "Admist" instead of "Amidst" in their headline - Andie Mar 18, 05:48 5
- the sad thing was that I really thought he was happy for her... - Mel Profit Mar 18, 06:50
- Doesn't her sister have a bakery in ... Austin or somewhere? She should go hang out there for a while and bake. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:16 3
  - Slap some dialogue on this and add a quirky down-home friend and you got yourself a screenplay credit. -- nm - Studio Executives Mar 18, 06:18 2
    - I'll call it, "Hope Floats." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:42 1
      - Hope Rises -- nm - Redmond Mar 18, 07:16

- Kansas, Pitt, WVU and Nova. Kansas over WVU. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 05:59
- I had Georgetown instead of Kansas. Cuse takes it all. -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 18, 05:56 2
  - i'm surprised at how many people are completely overlooking syracuse -- nm - prayformojo Mar 18, 06:22
  - *shakes fist at you* -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 06:18
- Just randomly picking, Kansas, Perdue, West Virginia, Duke. - JaxSean Mar 18, 05:50 8
  - Purdue has looked awful since their star tore up his knee. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:00
  - (don't pick Purdue). - Callisto Mar 18, 05:59 6
    - Ah, thanks. I had done the auto-fill and was just poking around with changing it up some so all #1 seeds didn't go to final 4. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:02 5
      - Wait, not Perdue, Vanderbilt. I have Texas A&M beating Perdue. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:04 4
        
        *nodding* -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 06:49
        
        Much better - Will Hunting Mar 18, 06:07 1
        
        gracias. :) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 18, 06:07
        
        Ah, good. Vandy could be okay. -- nm - Callisto Mar 18, 06:06
"Pixie rides the tranny bus" sounds like some kind of secret code phrase. -- nm - mara Mar 18, 05:39 2
- Hopefully it's nothing like the bang bus. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 18, 05:40 1
  - or the fur bus -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 05:47
Donald Fehr (former ED of the MLBPA) rumoured to be in the running to be the next Executive Director of the NHLPA -- (link) - Beaker Mar 18, 05:14

*sigh* Max says he got a Tivo and saw Rachel McAdam's ass and you guys focus on the Tivo? - Will Hunting Mar 18, 03:19
Decided on a treatment for our dog's incontinency......gonna buy a doghouse. - CrankYanker Mar 18, 00:44 3
- I sure hope Grandma never has that problem -- nm - oblique Mar 18, 05:34 1
  - I'mn sure Grandma would love a house. -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 06:44
- Does she drink a lot of water? If so, I assme the vet has eliminated diabetes and Cushing's? -- nm - mara Mar 18, 05:34

Free Music Tuesday (Humpday Extension: Now That's What I Call Classic Rock Edition) -- (link) - psilotum Mar 17, 23:08 3
- Sorry this is only for US customers -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 23:49 2
  - Bummer. If the model works out, I'm sure it will spread. Do you have iTunes? Amazon MP3? -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:54 1
    - nope i use CDON.COM mostly and i'll never use iTunes - Danedukenuuk Mar 18, 00:04
Today is match day. Baby docs get to find out which residency they landed. Yesterday was the scramble for those who didn't match. Reading their posts - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 23:04 9
- Why tragic? They are still pretty much guaranteed to get a residency *somewhere*, right? -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:09 6
  - Not really. Plus, all the residencies in the specialty you want may be full (or only have a few spots left). Nobody wants to end up in a specialty - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 23:15 5
    - Sounds like my initial assessment is still pretty much right. - psilotum Mar 17, 23:20 4
      - Well, yes there is plenty of family medicine residencies around (undesirable locations, programs). Not everyone wants to settle for family med. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 23:23 3
        
        like Family Med is such a tragedy. ;P -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 06:14
        
        i totally get what you're saying, but it's a little unnerving b/c we need more family meds and PCPs than specialists. -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 05:46
        
        Yeah. I understand. -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:25
- there is more then one baby doc? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 17, 23:05 1
  - No. -- nm - Papa Doc Mar 17, 23:06
Ugly Americans is pretty funny. "Never make life decisions with a hardon and a fifth of tequila". -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 17, 22:49 2
- This should be a motto of ST splashed across a banner or the mast of the page -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 00:26 1
  - a couple more shots of Bushmills and I might get a notion to have that tattooed on my arm -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 00:28
Michael Moore gives good muckrake. - David Mar 17, 22:48
What does the night crew thing: Is it okay to bold sentences in a 1 page letter to the school board. I am writing to protest their funding cut for a - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 22:39 3
- As long as it's one or two sentences, sure. But not so much that it completely dominates the page. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 22:41 2
  - There are 5 paragraphs on the page, each one has 1 sentence in bold. I might cut down on the bold a little bit. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 17, 22:43 1
    - David? -- nm - fairway frank Mar 17, 22:59
I'd almost forgotten about my spite port... bottom 5! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 17, 22:38 1
- I hadn't seen the date-joined info before. My big port started 1999-01-05 - psilotum Mar 17, 22:42
I want a cyborg from the future that looks like Jacoby Ellsbury. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 22:37 5
- you'll get two that look like Jacoby & Myers -- nm - fairway frank Mar 17, 22:59
- Caprica Zooey for me, please. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 17, 22:43
- How about two? - ty97 Mar 17, 22:38 2
  - But ... - ReluctantCynic Mar 17, 22:40 1
    - ummm.. - ty97 Mar 17, 22:44
I think the ST bit o green should be permanent. The color really works -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 22:35 9
- I kind of like it for the news box ... maybe not so much the header - Beryllium (laptop) Mar 17, 22:42 8
  - It draws attention to the announcement box really well, yes. - ty97 Mar 17, 23:01 6
    - Counterpoint: The announcement box, by virtue of position and variability, already draws attention. -- nm - psilotum Mar 17, 23:13 5
      - I always miss it. -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 23:26 3
        
        No need to read it every page view. How about making it disappear after 5 views of each new content? - psilotum Mar 17, 23:31 2
        
        It's database driven now, that was the first step to making it more useful in that respect. - Beryllium Mar 17, 23:33 1
        
        I'm not complaining, by any means. - psilotum Mar 17, 23:35
      - People tend to develop spot-blindness from habitually ignoring it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 17, 23:16
  - The sign up and recent links? - psilotum Mar 17, 22:43
wee ... :) -- nm - Beryllium (laptop) Mar 17, 22:32
happy St. Patrick's day. KISS a ginger! -- nm - peglegpete Mar 17, 22:15
This is a new board. Treat it well. -- nm - ty97 Mar 17, 22:14 2
