  - eh, if it does even a little of what it says it does then it's for a good cause -- nm - Stephen Nov 27, 11:40
Dear Detroit. "We got next" -- nm - Pee Wee Football Team Nov 27, 11:31 2
- "In a bold move, Titans coach Jeff Fisher decided to play all 11 positions by himself" -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 11:33 1

Watch out for "A Friend has sent you a Thanksgiving E-Card" Spam and possibly worse -- nm - amoxy Nov 27, 11:26 5
- I got that today and promptly sent it to the spam folder. I give serious smackdowns to friends who try to send me that garbage. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 11:42

- [deleted] 1
  - At this point maybe the NFL needs to take that team away -- nm - eag Nov 27, 10:37
I'm watching tin cup on roku. I've secretly always wanted to see this movie. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 27, 10:30 2
- well it used to be a secret -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 10:33 1
  - *kills pixie to maintain secret* -- nm - amanda si Nov 27, 10:50
Now a coworker is playing Viva Pinata on our work XBox :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:17 1
- I actually liked that game -- nm - eag Nov 27, 10:29
i'm actually glad Rosie O is still around, just so that we can be reminded regularly of - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 27, 10:16 2

Memo to the Detroit Lions defense: Keep doing what you're doing. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 27, 10:01
Didnt realized Mumbai is actually Bombay but the city name was changed -- nm - eag Nov 27, 09:58 30
- That's nobodies buisness but the Turks. -- nm - Qale Nov 27, 10:02
- I knew this, but I don't know why. Is it a Peking/Beijing thing? -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 10:02 1
  - Similar. It reflects the pronunciation of the name in Marathi, the local language. But it's a nationalist thing as much as anything else. - Roger More Nov 27, 10:07
- me either, until i listened to NPR this morning -- nm - pigby Nov 27, 09:59 26
  - really? It's been changed for a good ten years now. Many large Indian cities have new names - Roger More Nov 27, 10:03 25
    - Oh, I was aware of the Mumbai one, but not the others. I assume they moved away from colonial era westernised mispellings? - celedhrymandias Nov 27, 10:06 3
      - Yes - though often they weren't so much mispellings as just attempts to write strange words in a different language - Roger More Nov 27, 10:12 2
        
        i believe Mumbai is derived from a deity's name -- nm - zork Nov 27, 10:13 1
        
        I just checked wiki and there are several competing explanations. - Roger More Nov 27, 10:21
    - Plus they mention on TAR every season. -- nm - Mop Nov 27, 10:04 20
      - And every season I think "I wish they'd stop going to India." -- nm - Cuzzin Toddfurky Nov 27, 10:25 19
        
        I don't. Every season, they should go to one country in South Asia or Africa -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 10:28 18
        
        It's more that they ALWAYS go to India. - Cuzzin Toddfurky Nov 27, 10:29 17
        
        umm, it's the second most populous country and has millennia of history and a lot more influence on our cultures and religions than most people realis -- nm - zork Nov 27, 10:46
        
        Personally I'm nore sick of them going to Hawaii. And Alaska! - Roger More Nov 27, 10:37 14
        
        They should do a Micro-countries of the world race. - Reagen Nov 27, 10:41 13
        
        But yes - I'd like to see them do an island-hopping race. - Roger More Nov 27, 10:46 9
        
        Azores and instead of India ... Sri Lanka! -- nm - zork Nov 27, 10:47 8
        
        Faroe Islands! Vanuatu! - Reagen Nov 27, 10:50 7
        
        NAURU! -- nm - zork Nov 27, 11:01 5
        
        I once knew a guy who worked in Kiribati - Roger More Nov 27, 11:11 4
        
        would you describe him as a little catty? -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 11:18 3
        
        Things I never knew before I met this guy: it's pronounced 'ki-ri-bahs' -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 11:23 2
        
        to the bane of limerick writers everywhere. -- nm - Reagen Nov 27, 11:35 1
        
        There once was a man from Kiribati. Who had an enormous... -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 11:39
        
        Have the TAR people drop into an episode of Survivor :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 27, 10:52
        
        Maybe through Dubai? The connections they had from Delhi to Kazakhstan were worse - via Frankfurt? Ugh -- nm - Roger More Nov 27, 10:43 2
        
        I laughed at the ones going through Moscow. You're just going right back there! - Reagen Nov 27, 10:48 1
        
        Back in Season 2, the teams had al sorts of trouble getting from Rio to Cape Town. I think they all had to fly through Europe - Roger More Nov 27, 10:53
        
        the Indian government must be really easy to work with and give them *great* deals. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 27, 10:32
The Sports Guy's BBall article covers some of the Lebron stuff. -- (link) - Beaker Nov 27, 09:55 2
- Holy crap. I live here and have never heard this one. "LeBron cares about winning titles over everything else, then Portland is the play" - Redmond Nov 27, 09:58
- see point 5 -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 09:56
ROSIE!! -- nm - Beaker Nov 27, 09:55
