  - the whole sport business is in trouble. When cities with populations in the millions cannot support teams, something is wrong. -- nm - zork Apr 20, 08:30 8
    - There is absolutely nothing wrong with Sports Business. - musubi Apr 20, 08:34 3
      - Yeah, the Pacers claim they have not made a profit in 28 years. - Spawn Apr 20, 08:35 2
        
        I don't know Pacer specifics, but I wager they "lose" money the way Enron "made" it. - musubi Apr 20, 08:36
        
        I don't think you could find a private business that didn't make a profit in 28 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:36
    - The Pacers want the city to give them 15 million a year to run Conseco Fieldhouse. If not, they have threatened to leave. - Spawn Apr 20, 08:31 2
      - I'd wave as they left....the middle finger but it would still be waving -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:34 1
        
        Oh, the city has said as much. They Pacers even still want to keep the money made off of non-Pacer events there. - Spawn Apr 20, 08:37
    - Huh? -- nm - Maple Leafs Apr 20, 08:31
- this broke the record set at one of the previous games this year. Jays are in trouble -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:25 3
  - OTOH, they have a TV market the size of California. - Reagen Apr 20, 08:27 2
    - Yeah. There's been talk or relocating, but MLB isn't about to abandon Canada. (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:32 1
      - look around. they already did. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 20, 08:42
- The GM basically came out at the start of the year and said "hey, we're gonna suck hard this season". And people are surprised at attendance figures? -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:25 1

Fifteen minutes ago, an American Airlines plane departed Paris for Chicago. - ty97 Apr 20, 08:14 3
- [deleted] 1
  - If I was on the very first flight, perhaps some nerves. I'm sure they sent out some Air France flights before they gave American a slot though -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 08:21
- Yeah, Paris is an awful place. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 08:15

    - Closer medium towns: Terre Haute is 51 miles. Evansville is 70 miles -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 08:26
- What's the nearest town that would have anything to do in it? - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:11 2
  - Washington, IN (about 18 miles away) has a Wal-Mart Supercenter, so it may have other shopping / stuff as well. -- nm - ty97 Apr 20, 08:29
  - for sports pro sports stuff, Indianapolis. About and hour and half away or so. You've got.... - Remlik Apr 20, 08:19
- It's got where I grew up beat by about 75%. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:11 1
  - Yeah but you grew up in an igloo in Canada right? -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 08:20

    - heh, "either way", heh. - zork Apr 20, 08:22
    - One of the actors (supposedly) posted in the comments saying she understsood how the trailer was misleading, but that the film was empowering - ty97 Apr 20, 08:19

mafic's belly dancer -- (link) - zork Apr 20, 07:58 [youtube] 8
- The girl's technique is entry level. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 08:18 5
  - yes, but she was potential -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 08:20 1
    - has, I mean -- nm - Remlik Apr 20, 08:20
  - I don't know much about belly dancing but that's exactly what I was thinking -- nm - oblique Apr 20, 08:19 1
    - She is 16 and may one day be something but that was "meh", at best. -- nm - Spawn Apr 20, 08:20
  - I find that a lot too. -- nm - cappy si Apr 20, 08:19

Cooking geniuses, here's a question. - ty97 Apr 20, 07:56 26
- Gallon sized Ziploc. Put a couple tablespoons of oil, your seasoning, the potatoes. Close the bag and shake it up. - Jim Apr 20, 08:14 4
  - using a bowl is more environmentally friendly :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:34 1
    - Not if you rinse out the ziploc and re-use it! (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:35
  - Yep. - kelly Apr 20, 08:32
  - ditto. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 08:21
- To save on cleanup, put the oil and seasonings in a plastic bag, add potatoes , hold the bag closed with some air inside, shake well. - MojaveMeg Apr 20, 08:11 2
  - yup, that works good. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 20, 08:15
  - we do this for shake n' bake as well. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:13
- Don't forget the salt and black people. -- nm - nubby Apr 20, 08:10 1
  - ... -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:12
- Do this if you don't have a brush - ceregon Apr 20, 07:59
- sigh, where did my response go. my non fancy suggestion - tRuMaN Apr 20, 07:59
- Put your thumb over the spout of the bottle and shake the oil onto them, for lack of a better description. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 07:59
- what we do is cut all the potateoes up, put olive oil in a large bowl, drop potatoes in bowl, shake. sprinkle seasoning shake again. done -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:58 5
  - and you don't need alot of oil either. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:01
  - this is pretty much what I do... -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 08:01
  - thanks for the tip, Mr. Quayle -- nm - zork Apr 20, 07:59 2
    - I think you mean Morris Day. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:00
    - I like to add e's to my potatoes :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:00
- put it all in a mixing bowl and just stir it around. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 07:58 1
  - This is also a great solution. Actually brushing them is way too much effort. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:02
- yes. brush them. do you have a new (unused) small paint brush? - decline Apr 20, 07:58
- you can use a folded up paper towel instead of a brush -- nm - zork Apr 20, 07:57
- Use one of those things the Pope uses to bless people -- nm - oblique Apr 20, 07:57 2
  - His penis? -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:02 1
    - heh -- nm - zork Apr 20, 08:08
hmm, ike question - tRuMaN Apr 20, 07:53 7
- buying research, building docs and subs, building Gov Res, building Academies all reduced -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:55 1
  - also for upgrades in the workshop -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:02
- if you're buying research, yes. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 07:55 4
  - hmm. k. i guess i could get ride of the workshop, since if have all the improvements completed. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 20, 08:01 2
    - also, ike really needs a way to demolish an entire building in one click. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 20, 08:02 1
      - IIRC it may7 be in the new upgrade. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:03

IMO, this should be the Top 10 Comic Book Villians: - Jovian Apr 20, 07:44 6
- Mine - Beaker Apr 20, 07:47 5
  - you know, thinking more about it, Galactus shouldnt be there. He isnt a true villain -- nm - Jovian Apr 20, 08:00 3
    - you're soft on planet eating. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:01 1
      - it is equivalent to having Death as a villain as he is equated with the higher beings. Force of Nature not a villain -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:04
    - yup, that's why I dropped him...I almost dropped Joker too for the same reason. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:01
  - Green Goblin being the only one not previously mentioned. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:47

    - 't think I realized that.) -- nm - TFox Apr 20, 07:48 1
      - I am so sad right now. :-( And yeah, they've had beef for like 7 years now. Premier has tried many times to end it but Guru has that - Krusty Apr 20, 08:01
from B2 ... Mark Hammill .... perhaps there is an arguement there for ... - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 20, 07:41 5
- Midichlorians contain no anti-aging properties. Side effects include levitation & whining. Ask your doctor if Midis is right for you. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 20, 07:49
- or maybe ... [spoils] - zork Apr 20, 07:44 1
  - i love the fact that ... - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 20, 08:11

- never heard of them. might not be in Ontario -- nm - zork Apr 20, 07:42
- immediate thought is two chain restaurants, Earl's and Joey Tomatoes. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 07:36 2
  - Yeah, that's my immediate thought. Overpriced middle-want-to-be high end places with gorgeous serving staff. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 20, 07:42
  - That would fit in context. I thought it might be a royal thing. -- nm - David Apr 20, 07:37
hmm, i think i might follow the tweeting wisdom of one Rev Run -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 20, 07:34
