MLB thought: Looks like Andruw Jones has found his form and a place with the White Sox -- (link) - budice May 4, 07:53 1
- he dropped 20+ pounds since last season, looking to get a fat contract next year. - groiny May 4, 07:55
LIR re hockey games, particularly BOS/PHI. First. it was an awesome physical game esp in the 3rd. I don't like Hartnell of PHI but I give him credit - HdnAgnda May 4, 07:52

    - $5000 a hole? -- nm - Rick Rhoden May 4, 07:53
- 80+ for each - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:50
- Smoltz himself said there is no chance in hell that he will make it. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:50 3
  - [deleted]
  - But if you could do it, wouldn't you? - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:50 1
    - of course. Just stating that he knows what he is getting into. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:51
[deleted] 3
- speaking from experience: Word. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:50
- Or you could have a world that's all shrimp. -- nm - Anya May 4, 07:49
- *eats a poutine for you* -- nm - zork May 4, 07:49
Thanks Ken Burns. We are making good on our desire to see some national parks. First stop - Acadia in June. Just confirmed. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 4, 07:46
Ender, the thing about the guy being arrested after the plane departed the gate ... - zork May 4, 07:45
"Slackmanda" would make an awesome band name -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:42
You know that HIMYM has run its course when an entire half of an episode is recycled Seinfeld material -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:40 3
- (spoilers) - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:45
- At least HIMYM has pretty people. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:42 1
  - tangentially one of my daughter's books mentions building sandcastles, and every time I have to stop myself from reading it "Sandcastles in the Sand" -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:43
Happy Rhode Island Independence Day! -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:36 1
- *looks around* woo..... hoo? -- nm - TFox May 4, 07:40

Not that I'm a Michael Lohan fan: But it's news items like this that tell me he's doing the right thing -- (link) - budice May 4, 07:34
here is a question: for the rest of your life, you can only have one kind of cheese. on crackers, on burgers, in salad, etc. what kind do you pick? - slackmanda May 4, 07:32 40
- Edam. Havarti would be the 2nd choice. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 07:49
- hate to join the crowd but cheddar can be used in baking, good for sandwiches and even pizza. Mozza is too bland tasting to be tied to for life. -- nm - zork May 4, 07:48
- Really old cheddar. Easy, next question. -- nm - Subversive May 4, 07:45
- Pizza seals it for me - so important - mozzarella -- nm - Epiphany May 4, 07:43 8
  - Yup. I'm not a cheese lover, but I couldn't give up pizza forever. -- nm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:46 1
    - the real answer is Cheddarella. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:49
  - mozzarella nachos???? - groiny May 4, 07:45 5
    - I'd give up nachos before pizza if I didn't have the right cheese. -- nm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:46 4
      - but you can put cheddar on a pizza. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:48 3
        
        Not sure what sort of nachos you eat, but mozza totally goes on nachos in my universe, especially when mixed with cheddar. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:49 2
        
        i love those kraft tex-mex commercials - zork May 4, 07:52
        
        blech. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:50
- mozarella - very tough question - decline May 4, 07:41 1
  - It's like the Highlander of cheese -- nm - oblique May 4, 07:42
- cheddar -- nm - TFox May 4, 07:41 1
  - yeah, I think this is the most useful one. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:41
- This is a tough one...I could probably pick one based on flavor but functionality is also important. - Mel Profit May 4, 07:39 5
  - Right, I think my favorite by flavor would be Feta, but it's just not very versatile. -- nm - Ender May 4, 07:53
  - This indecision is what makes you a good leader. Should we attack? I don't know, maybe, maybe not, it's too hard! -- nm - Redmond May 4, 07:40 3
    - I weigh things carefully. - Mel Profit May 4, 07:46 2
      - almost everyone we polled chose bleu or gorg and then retracted because it had limited use despite its deliciousity. -- nm - slackmanda May 4, 07:49 1
        
        yep. thought of brie, emmantal, havarti, etc. but they are limited (and more expensive) -- nm - zork May 4, 07:51
- mozzarella I think. I can eat it on crackers, with pasta, and on burgers as well as pizza -- nm - oblique May 4, 07:38
- muenster -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:38
- Tough call between muenster and smoked gouda. -- nm - pmb May 4, 07:37
- cheddar. -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:37
- Parmesan -- nm - budice May 4, 07:36
- Pepperjack -- nm - Fuzzy (195 lbs) May 4, 07:34
- Colby Jack, with Pepper Jack a close second. (nm) - musubi May 4, 07:34
- Chedder -- nm - Redmond May 4, 07:34
- As lame as this may sound, I'll have to say white cheddar. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:34 6
  - (this was the most popular answer this weekend when we polled my friends. I did not pick it but it was 1 (or at least 2) for almost everyone) -- nm - slackmanda May 4, 07:35 5
    - This question is insanely difficult, by the way. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:36 4
      - [deleted]
      - boderline cruel, even. - znufrii May 4, 07:37 1
        
        I could not live in a world with only one cheese. -- nm - Redmond May 4, 07:39
      - right? we used it as a gun-to-your-head question so people would *have* to answer. I picked goat (the creamy goat cheese, not hardened.) -- nm - slackmanda May 4, 07:37
- fresh mozzarella -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:33
- havarti -- nm - Dano May 4, 07:33 1

- Tragically Hip or Great Big Sea -- nm - Beaker May 4, 07:48
- Craig David and Jennifer Lopez. -- nm - MDH May 4, 07:47
- Hmm. Either Iron Maiden or Sarah McLachlan. I have lots more Sarah material but full albums may be a draw. - HdnAgnda May 4, 07:45
- R.E.M. with around 12 followed closely by the Tragically Hip. -- nm - Subversive May 4, 07:43
- St. Etienne, i think -- nm - mo fuzz May 4, 07:42

- Spirit of the West or Blue Rodeo -- nm - Walt_Disney May 4, 07:39
- Beatles -- nm - loosilu May 4, 07:38
- either Zeppelin, Rush or Jethro Tull. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:36
- Led Zeppelin, probably -- nm - prayformojo May 4, 07:36
- I believe it's Erasure for me. 8 albums, 79 songs -- nm - oblique May 4, 07:36 4
  - Actually, it looks like Concrete Blonde: 8 albums, 80 songs -- nm - oblique May 4, 07:37
  - dude, you're gay? nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:36 2
    - even i don't have 8 erasure albums -- nm - mo fuzz May 4, 07:38 1
      - I mean, I love the Innocents CD as much as the next guy..... nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:39
- [deleted]
- Either The Who or Springsteen. -- nm - pmb May 4, 07:34
- depeche mode, but I feel like this belies who I am and is more based on the size and availability of their catalog than anything else. -- nm - slackmanda May 4, 07:33 3
  - Yup. Us too. -- nm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:34 2
    - do you kind of hate that this is the answer? I feel like a recovering goth girl. -- nm - slackmanda May 4, 07:36 1
      - Yeah, there's that "Singles" box set that had like 10 CDs in it, plus their regular albums. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:38
- ooh, guess! (12 and 2 eps) -- nm - TFox May 4, 07:33 3
  - Matchbox 20! Blink 182! Sum 41! 30 Seconds to Mars! Finger 11! Nine Inch Nails! Eve 6! -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:46

      - I missed some of the recent PJ albums I think. - Mel Profit May 4, 07:37 2
        
        good lord in butt fucking heaven yes. - TFox May 4, 07:39 1
        
        I'll take that as a yes. -- nm - Mel Profit May 4, 07:45

- Philip Glass Ensemble -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:32
Best boss ever part 2. I gave my tickets to the Iron Man 2 screening tonight to my interns. -- nm - Dano May 4, 07:31

- The time I've spent getting my (new) player to Level 11...I'm not sure how you guys get to Level 61. - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 4, 07:31 1
  - I went from level 34 to level 40 in an hour playing with tru and david. - groiny May 4, 07:34
- I believe he does drop stuff. - groiny May 4, 07:29 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - The only "useful" thing he drops is the Leviathan. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:34 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Honestly, besides Crawmerax, boss drops are pretty lame, in my experience. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 07:37

  - *posts: "You jump onto the field, you will be subjected to endless strawman arguments." - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:31 28
    - he'll stop being obstinate when someone runs on the field and rips A-Rods arm off. -- nm - Mel Profit May 4, 07:36 1
      - [deleted]
    - [deleted] 24
      - No, I didn't. You're a lawyer who's upset that most don't agree with you, thus the pitchforks and mob comment - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:36 22
        
        [deleted] 21
        
        Explain to me again the non-strawman factor of your post on this board? - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:49 6
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        That's precisely what I'm saying. - Will Hunting May 4, 07:54 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Then I guess you didn't make this post then. -- (link) - Will Hunting May 4, 07:59 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        methinks your confusing a strawman argument with rhetorical hyperbole. -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:51
        
        let's be honest. In years of sporting events, there has been 2 players injured by fans. - groiny May 4, 07:44
        
        This may or may not shock you - but I agree with you. People are too quick to jump to tasing in these situations. it's become a substitute for making - Reagen May 4, 07:44 12
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I sometimes get the impression that you think I disagree with you just to disagree with you. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:51 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Perhaps in general, but in the specific instance of a fan running onto the field? I believe tasering is a fair default. - musubi May 4, 07:46 8
        
        I disagree that it's a default. And as noted - so do the police. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:48 1
        
        I understand that the police have to investigate it, it's the use of force. If a homeowner finds a burgler and tases him, the police would also - musubi May 4, 07:54
        
        there is no reason why someone needs to walk into by backyard either... - groiny May 4, 07:48 5
        
        If you found someone stranger in your backyard, you wouldn't taser them? Doesn't sound like you. (nm) - musubi May 4, 07:50 4
        
        If I thought I would not get sued, arrested and fined, sure. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:52
        
        why would he need a taser when he's got his baseball bat handy? -- nm - znufrii May 4, 07:52 2
        
        Bat's been borrowed by something. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:52 1
        
        why use a bat when I have 8 samurai swords to choose from? nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:53
      - Physician, heal thyself. (nm) - musubi May 4, 07:35
    - *golf clap* (nm) - musubi May 4, 07:32

- yeah, you can tazer her too. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:28 1
  - Then you'll really hear her grunt. -- nm - Dano May 4, 07:33
- IIRC, that fan never came onto the field of play; kinda not the same. -- nm - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:28 2
  - I am pretty sure he ran on the court. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 07:28 1
    - Wiki says he ran to the edge of the stands and stabbed her. - Will Hunting (204 lbs) May 4, 07:34
