- there is also supposed to be a Walt segment. -- nm - Remlik May 26, 21:04

- did someone say Emerson? *incomprehensible babbling* -- nm - loosilu May 26, 21:00
- We should have more tags for posts: Favorite, NSFW, and AICN. -- nm - nubby May 26, 21:00 5
  - HELL NO. -- nm - Mop May 26, 21:43
  - Normally, I would agree, but the fact that this is AICN doesn't make it untrue. It's an interview from Attack of the Show. -- nm - Volnelk May 26, 21:03
  - and *boom* -- nm - loosilu May 26, 21:02 1
    - *ding*, *boom*, and *pfaw* -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 21:48

So our little city has plans well underway for the weekend festival. The rides all seem to be in place, there are stacks of traffic barricades at - MojaveMeg May 26, 20:13
Where is David. I would trust his judgement on this issue. He's impartial on this. Settle the thread below David. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:12 8
- Tonight wasn't a choke. Two more losses would be a choke. -- nm - David May 26, 21:30
- If a team loses with their main player(s) out, it's not a choke. -- nm - Stephen May 26, 20:43 5
  - I don't buy this, it's the 5th best player AT BEST, and in all the history of the NBA it's never happened before - Gwaahjo May 26, 20:45 4
    - I agree. If they lost Garnett , Rondo or Pierce, you could try and use it as an excuse. - Krusty May 26, 20:49 2
      - they *lost* the replacement. *and* the *other* replacement. * - TFox May 26, 20:50 1
        
        wait, which asterisk does that apply to? -- nm - Reagen May 26, 21:07
    - this is true, but we're talking multiple players, that open a gargantuan hole in their defense and completely cripple their gameplan. - TFox May 26, 20:47
- you can both be right, guys. no need to argue about something as trivial as pro sports -- nm - evil canadian david May 26, 20:13
My HWDYK quiz is the best, clearly, even though I haven't seen Remlik's. Way better than Qale's. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 20:07 3
- I can't trust your opinion anymore. - Krusty May 26, 20:26 2
  - Mine is just awesomer. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 20:34
  - Oh yeah? Well my HWDYK is featured on BOPs front page. (the I'm the king of the world nt.) -- nm - Qale May 26, 20:29
Twitter ABCD, AI8 winner Kris Allen: "Out of all the people I met and saw tonight Kevin Sorbo takes the cake. What a way to end the night." - nubby May 26, 20:01 7
- A -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 20:05 2

Update: Glen Davis has a concussion. - TFox May 26, 19:53 26
- Sucks but injuries aren't an excuse for losing four in a row. - Krusty May 26, 20:23
- You guys really need to win in Boston, or they risk choking this away. - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 19:59 24
  - While I don't disagree, does it count as a choke if you lose one game, then get two games flat stolen thanks to officials/injury? -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:01 23
    - Dude it's happened 4 times in all the major sports and never in basketball, it's not the first time a team has injuries or officials favor home team - Gwaahjo May 26, 20:35
    - Up 3 games to 0 and losing 4 in a row in any way is a choke. No matter what. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:03 21
      - not when your starting center is removed for two games for no reason, and your power forward gets a concussion from a dirty elbow to the head. -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:05 20
        
        If the technical is rescinded, which they think it will be, then he won't be suspended -- nm - Gwaahjo May 26, 20:36 1
        
        If Perk plays Game 6, you can nullify my entire argument. - TFox May 26, 20:39
        
        Short of the entire team getting anthrax it's pretty much a choke. 4 games!! Just need to win a single game. 2 of which are in your house. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:07 14
        
        one of those home games they're only going to have half the roster. -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:08 13
        
        I didn't see game 4, but they should have ended the game there. - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:09 12
        
        no. if you aren't watching the games, trust me that you have no clue what you are talking about. -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:10 11
        
        It's a choke by the numbers. I don't have to see the games. Everyone will be using the C word, not just me. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:11 10
        
        BTW I watched game 1 and this game 5, so I am not missing all of them. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:13 9
        
        if you are watching this game, you *clearly* have no idea what you are talking about. - TFox May 26, 20:14 8
        
        One bad game doesn't = 4 losses in a row. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:17 7
        
        Redmond, you watched the game. Explain to me what I am talking about. - TFox May 26, 20:18 5
        
        The ejection of Perkins I am guessing -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:18 4
        
        and... -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:19 3
        
        Sheed? You wanted a call on the Dwight elbow? -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:20 2
        
        it was't Sheed, but yes, Dwight did not accidentally incidentally give Davis a concussion with his elbow. - TFox May 26, 20:21 1
        
        I don't get many Eastern Conference games, so I don't see Dwight that much. That said, it will be reviewed by the league and if found - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:23
        
        Perkins will be playing game 6 -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! May 26, 20:17
        
        Still a choke. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 20:05 2
        
        this makes no sense, but ok. -- nm - TFox May 26, 20:06 1
        
        go easy on super Colts fan - barnaby bear May 26, 20:08
Reservoir Dogs 65 Cadillac model on Woot. Kinda cool. -- (link) - TFox May 26, 19:50 1
- They need to give up on those Sponge Bobs, though. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 20:05
*puts the lotion on its fur. it does this everytime it's told* -- nm - barnaby bear May 26, 19:46 5
- just so wrong. -- nm - b! May 26, 20:00 4
  - but so funny. - loosilu May 26, 20:06 3
    - sharing about a wee travel companion /= I'm sadistic. ;p -- nm - b! May 26, 20:07 2
      - it's cute - wheezy May 26, 20:09 1
        
        :) - - b! May 26, 20:15
