  - 20k Euros obvie. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 13:29 1
    - I'm guessing the winner doesn't have to pay for the honeymoon trips (but doesn't choose them either). The winner also has to do promo work in Ireland -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:32
- Whoever won that dream job island keeper contest? -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 13:25 5

    - for real? -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 13:27 3

I blame Jim, and Ty, and Will and Kelly for getting me addicted to my first solo-play Facebook game. Stupid Family Feud. {nm} - Banzai! Apr 6, 13:03 2

- How long until you start buying games? -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:04
fifteen grand is ridic to move unless they packed you too. and if they did, it's more than transactional and I would - workmanda Apr 6, 13:01 12
- I've moved several times but never had anyone pack my stuff. How does that go, usually? Good job? -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 13:05 11
  - They pack everything and do a very good job (they're usually liable for damages of packed items if they pack them whereas they generally aren't if you - pmb Apr 6, 13:31 1
    - By the way, I've never heard of moving charges of 15k. I'm assuming it's because it's an interstate move. It's not the packing that costs that much. - pmb Apr 6, 13:33
  - good god, I have no idea. it seems to me like a waste of cash unless one's company is paying the movers directly. - workmanda Apr 6, 13:08 8
    - but how do you feel about scrabble changing the rules to allow proper nouns? - the 40 year old virgin Apr 6, 13:13 7
      - If I can use it sensibly in a sentence, I should be able to use it on the board. -- nm - Max Apr 6, 13:14 6
        
        wait, late-breaking scrabble news: rules are NOT changing to allow proper nouns! -- (link) - the 40 year old virgin Apr 6, 13:17 5
        
        wow, that's a big news fail on the part of those other outlets. -- nm - Max Apr 6, 13:22 1
        
        never let facts get in the way of a good story, max -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 6, 13:24

When they cut Gordon Hayward�s umbilical cord, he grabbed it, balled it up, and shot it in the nearest trash bin without hitting the lid. -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:57 2
- Jason Heyward cut his own cord. -- nm - Jim Apr 6, 13:05
- They probably shouldn't have waited so long to cut it. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Apr 6, 13:01

ST rate my work dingers team (12 teams, 10 picks, top 8 count) - Beaker Apr 6, 12:50
Epic Fail to a mock draft that consists of 32 links, asking you to page through each pick 1 at a time. I hate you. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 6, 12:47
Obama called Coach Stevens and the team. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 12:46 1
- To call them losers? What a dick. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 12:49
I'll stop being a dick when you stop being an idiot. nm - Jim Apr 6, 12:41 3
- Throw me the whip and I'll throw you the idol. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 12:45 2
  - I've got the pistols so I'll keep the pesos. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 12:48 1
    - yeah that seems fair -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 12:48
Seriously? Chicago - Tokyo, 6274 miles each way, round-trip cost: $1200. Tokyo-Hiroshima, 433 miles each way, round trip cost: $668 -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 12:40 22
- shit, you just reminded me I need to buy a plane ticket like NOW. -- nm - workmanda Apr 6, 13:04 1
  - oh, oh, where are you going? -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:20
- Number of airlines flying bgetween Chicago and Tokyo - several. Number of airlines between Tokyo and Hiroshima - probably 2 - Roger More Apr 6, 12:41 4
  - the various US-Tokyo routes are probably some of the cheapest cost per mile routes you will find anywhere (I'm guessing). -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:06 3
    - Australia just got really cheap too, thanks to some new airlines in the route -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:08 2
      - there were rumors that either Virgin Australia or Delta would get forced out, but not yet. ORD-DEL runs cheap too. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:24
      - oh, I revise my opinion. LA-Sydney is probably cheaper per mile than the Tokyo routes. - loosilu Apr 6, 13:10
- airfare is not based on mileage, silly. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 12:40 9
  - That's a crazy cost per mile disparity -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 12:48 8
    - fixed costs vs. variable? -- nm - workmanda Apr 6, 13:04 2
      - Cost to consumer. Not sure how the cost to the carrier breaks down. - ty97 Apr 6, 13:16 1
        
        someting to do with cheap flights to Tokyo, maybe. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:18
    - It's about competition on the route - plus larger aircraft offer more opportunities for discounting -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 12:50 4
      - yes, that's why it's so insanely expensive to fly to Africa or to many parts of South America. - loosilu Apr 6, 13:01
      - Amazingly, they fly 767, 777, and Airbus 300 on the Tokyo-Hiroshima route. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 12:58 2
        
        I'll bet there are only two airlines on the route though. Japan's domestic aviation market is heavily protected and starting a discount carrier to - Roger More Apr 6, 13:05
        
        it also matters how long before the flight you buy them, whether it's tourist season, etc etc. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:02
- The radiation suits cost extra -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 12:40 4
  - plus it is the Giant Moth time of the year again -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 12:45 3

If we're diligent about constantly updating wikipedia, eventually Butler will have won the NCAA Tournament. -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:30
I agree with Coach K. Butler won; Butler didn't lose. - David Apr 6, 12:30 32
- *bookmarks this post for sunday* -- nm - Phil Mickelson Apr 6, 12:31 1
  - Of course you'd notice the Loser Talk. -- nm - David Apr 6, 12:31
- they don't recruit? -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 12:31 29
  - Their budget for the program is like 1/6th the size of a big-school. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 12:33 28
    - if I remember correctly it was 1.7 million. We've got 3 guys coming next year...one with a 40 inch vertical leap... - Remlik Apr 6, 12:34 27
      - yeah, that's small. very impressive. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 12:40 7

        I couldn't figure out to post this without a self-diss. -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 12:48 5
        
        Does "That's what she said" always mean "the person *I* had sex with"? Can't it mean "the person *you* had sex with"? -- nm - mara Apr 6, 13:09 4
        
        I've always understood it to be the partner of the person who said the setup line. -- nm - Ender Apr 6, 13:17
        
        I thought it was just highlighted a double-entendre, like "said the actress to the bishop" -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 13:15 1
        
        That's what I thought too. -- nm - mara Apr 6, 13:20
        
        it can, but he's leaving himself wiiiiiide open for jokes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:12
      - If Hayward stays (I wouldn't), you got a chance to be very good again. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 12:35 13
        
        I agree. If Hayward leaves then I'd think about leaving, Howard will be a senior and Mack will be a junior. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 12:44 1
        
        and here we all thought you'd actually graduated. -- nm - loosilu Apr 6, 13:19
        
        I would probably advise him to go pro, but getting that close has to make it hard not to come back. -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:36 10
        
        I'm pretty sure I'd advise every single person to go pro when they can make millions - Will Hunting Apr 6, 12:37 9
        
        Anyone with guaranteed millions should walk. It's the 3rd-4th round picks in the NFL and 2nd round picks in NBA that start getting dicey. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 6, 12:48
        
        Mack and Hayward are the only two with a shot. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 12:47
        
        Me, too. Finishing what you start is over-rated. -- nm - Sarah Palin Apr 6, 12:43 2
        
        Well, if what you started was a plan to get to the NBA... -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:48 1
        
        By going to Butler? -- nm - mara Apr 6, 12:49
        
        Yup. I show anyone on the fence about it the video of Michael Bush wrecking his knee. -- nm - David Apr 6, 12:41 2

        I'm going pro in something other than sports. -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:39
      - Looked it up. "Butler's basketball budget: $1.7 million, which ranks 142nd nationally and places the Bulldogs between Santa Clara and Marshall." - mara Apr 6, 12:35
      - Assuming everyone stays, they're preseason Top 10 for sure, maybe preseason Top 5. -- nm - Dano Apr 6, 12:35 3
        
        we're losing 3 guys. Veasly and 2 others. -- nm - Remlik Apr 6, 12:43 1
