- yeah... that was actually a special re-air of one of the first episodes -- nm - stewie Apr 27, 07:47
- was that an old one? young smart kid? -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 07:47 7
  - yes, didn't realize it was old. Kid is insane. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:49 6
    - Yup, I posted a bit about it as I was watching it last night. Amazing. -- nm - mara Apr 27, 07:49 5
      - It's a sobering example of what can go wrong when you tell a kid he's better than everyone else. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:50 4
        
        My favorite part was probably him saying that when you have a kid you're obligated to take care of them for their entire life. It's like a contract. -- nm - mara Apr 27, 07:52 3
        
        and taking care of t hem means paying their gambling debts. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:01 2
        
        They paid *everything* -- lodging, food, everything. And he thought he was totally entitled. Monstrous. -- nm - mara Apr 27, 08:03 1
        
        oh, I know. it was just icing on the cake that he considered gambling debts a necessity. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:04

A little known "fact" (not Snopified) ...�The first testicular guard,�the�"Cup", was used in hockey in 1874 and the first helmet ... - zork Apr 27, 07:38 8
- don't know about the cup, but people have been wearing hockey helmets since at least the '20s. - mafic Apr 27, 07:50 7
  - I'm thinking they are mixing first use of a cup *by anyone* and first use of a helmet *in the NHL* -- nm - zork Apr 27, 07:55 6
    - Looks like the first helmet was in 1928 for a Bruins player. They became mandatory in '79. -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 07:58
    - nah, the NHL too. there's a relatively famous picture of gordie howe wearing a helmet. they made it mandatory in about 1979 though. -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 07:57 4
      - If I recall right, active players prior to then were grandfathered in.... - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:58 3
        
        that's actually how I learned about the term grandfathered. asked my dad about craig mactavish and his lack of helmet - mafic Apr 27, 08:05
        
        Craig McTavish still rocked the no helmet in 1994. -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 07:59 1
        
        Yeah, he was the last helmetless in 96/97 when he retired. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 08:02

- you've seen the awesome rug with which I was obsessed when I had a house, right? -- nm - workmanda Apr 27, 08:01 1
  - yeah, liked that -- nm - CQ Apr 27, 08:06
- Also great for kids' rooms--vinyl wall stickers. Much easier than painting and you can change them as the kids get bigger. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 27, 07:37 7
  - Jacen has a huge Bumblebee. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 08:06

Austin Jackson's playing so far above his head right now, it's not funny. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:29 2
- i need to get more aggressive about shopping him in one of my leagues. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 07:30 1
  - He's headed for a monster fall with that strikeout rate and insane lucky streak. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:31
I think last night's House was written by someone who knows Znu. Alot of Unicorn mentions and a poly couple. -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 07:29

  - Hasn't Jack told us his first language is, in fact, english? -- nm - Andie Apr 27, 07:31 2
    - He tells us he's gay too. -- nm - Redmond Apr 27, 07:41
    - that was a blatant lie - Danedukenuuk Apr 27, 07:32

    - [deleted] 14
      - In Loosi's defense, I was going to make this joke too. - Fuzzy Apr 27, 08:05
      - Apparently I was wrong, but regardless, I find your attitude pretty snotty. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:32 12
        
        Are you kidding? - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:35 11
        
        snotty, not snippy. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:35 10
        
        Po-tay-to...po-tah-to. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:36 9
        
        completely different. I'm referring to his attitude toward nonnative English speakers, not me. I expect him to be an asshole to me. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:37 8
        
        C'Mon. This is not what you agreed to. -- nm - Inigo Apr 27, 07:43 1

        ahh, gotcha -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 07:36
    - we gave them blankets laced with smallpox. -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 07:29
HALAK! -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 07:24
you know, there is a special kind of crazy that is texas republican "leaders" - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:23 6
- not really related, but vastly amusing, see this comment. - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:26
- Can we estimate how long we'll need to wait before there is a public backlash against this sort of BS extreme rhetoric? Is 2016 way too optimistic? -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 07:24 3
  - To get that backlash, you need results on the other side to prove it's unquestionably better - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:37
  - I saw a column titled "Imagine if the Tea Party were Black". - Reagen Apr 27, 07:30
  - 2016 as the end of racism? I think not. We have a long ways to go. Cause if Obama is white, you dont see half the shit we've been seeing. nm - Jovian Apr 27, 07:28
- he's like your own special haiti earthquake. -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 07:24

    - When you have the power to get laws changed... isn't it a little weak to argue we've committed no crime - stewie Apr 27, 08:06 1

tru, I had to fix my mission as well. I mistakenly went into the elevator and the Steal Loot boxed got checkedm which will lock you out of the armory. -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 07:15 5
- that is what happened to me. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:16 4
  - well technically, i was helping a guy do that, everyone went into that area so he could start the timer, he started the timer, then kicked everyone - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:16 3
    - Ahhh nice guy. I refuse to play co-op in BL with people I don't know. -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 07:20 2
      - yeah, its hit or miss. but sometimes you get a group of people who just want to kill crawmerax over and over and over. - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:21 1
        
        Haven't even attempted him yet. I do have the mission in my log though. -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 07:40
[deleted] 31
- well, I'm still not expecting to drive in the city, very much at least -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:15 26
  - and you're getting the car ... why? -- nm - zork Apr 27, 07:25 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - like this? -- (link) - TFox Apr 27, 07:29 1
        
        why didn't you link the female model? -- nm - zork Apr 27, 07:33
      - naturally. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:27
  - sometimes i can't decide who i want to meet more: znufrii or bride-of-znufrii. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 07:20
  - oh, you will be, when you're looking for parking. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:19
  - [deleted] 18
    - "very much, at least" -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:18 17
      - Just for the record, as someone who had a car in Brooklyn for over 5 years, I think you're insane. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:20 16
        
        My brother has a car in Manhattan and has no problems finding parking on a regular basis and has found it indispensable to have there. -- nm - decline Apr 27, 07:28 11
        
        maybe he needs it. it's not an absolute thing. I'm talking about znu's situation. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:30 10
        
        and I'm saying I don't think znu is insane. -- nm - decline Apr 27, 07:31 9
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        I have always reserved the right to change my mind in response to additional relevant information. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:39 5
        
        supplied by my girlfriend -- nm - znoofree Apr 27, 07:41 1
        
        so? -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:45
        
        meaning, what your gf wants? -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:40 2
        
        *raises eyebrow* - znufrii Apr 27, 07:42 1
        
        well it clearly isn't a financial decision. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 07:43
        
        well yeah, that part is funny - decline Apr 27, 07:38
        
        at least, not for *that* reason... -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:32
        
        your opinion has been noted. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:21 3
        
        probably cheaper to store it in jersey or yonkers and pick it up on the way to somewhere -- nm - zork Apr 27, 07:28 2
        
        generally speaking, that would defeat the purpose. -- nm - znufrii Apr 27, 07:34 1
        
        no doubt you'll be using it much more than you think you will. -- nm - zork Apr 27, 07:36
- I'm sure there will be something else to take its place. -- nm - nubby Apr 27, 07:15
- I'm pretty sure he'll have killed a man within 12 months, at the rate he's comprising his morals. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 07:14 2
  - but, if he kills a man in new york, will anyone care? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 27, 07:19
  - hee -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 07:18
