did mandy get served yet? -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:27
Anyone seen Unthinkable yet? -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:27 2
- I heard it was okay -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:29
- It was bad. Really bad. -- nm - stewie Jun 24, 14:29
ty: I am going to be housed for that concert. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 14:21
Rooting for Lebron to leave the Cavs is like rooting for Mauer to leave the Twins. - musubi Jun 24, 14:18 19
- every city with anything close to having cap space for him, should be doing whatever they can - groiny Jun 24, 14:22 15
  - It's one thing to want him for your team. It's something else to want him to leave regardless. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 14:23 14
    - Okay, I'll bite...Why? Because the Cavs got lucky on the pingpong balls in the right year? Because he's an Ohio boy? B/c no star should ever leave? - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 14:25 12
      - Really it's the last one. Ideally a guy who built his career and drew in a fan base that has supported him would stay there. They've invested in him - pmb Jun 24, 14:28
      - He's an Ohio boy who has taken his "hometown" team to levels they've never seen before. - musubi Jun 24, 14:27
      - yes, because of your first two reasons. they were lucky enough to get him, and double lucky that he was from there. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:27 1
        
        Local boy makes good are the best stories. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:27
      - most leagues are better when talent is spread around and more teams have a chance to contend -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:27 6
        
        I'm finding that as I get older, and despite being a typical small-market fan, this is not a truism. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 14:30 1
        
        agreed. english premiere league is brutally top heavy, but those man u-chelsea games are friggin dynamite....nm - x Jun 24, 14:31
        
        mediocrity is destiny....nm - x Jun 24, 14:28 3
        
        i'm going to make you come around some day. i'm not giving up on you! -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:30 2
        
        you could have stopped after the first 6 words. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:30 1
        
        First time for everything then, I guess. -- nm - Pixie si Jun 24, 14:32
      - it's change for the sake of change. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 14:27
    - well, it is Cleveland...... -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:24
- Maybe it stems from my relatively passive following of the NBA, but I kinda cheer for it based on the upheaval and change it brings the league. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 14:21
- If you're not in a city that could add him, I agree. I want him here, but if he doesn't come I'd rather he stay in Cleveland. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 14:20
- also this. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:19
in which KFC completely misses the point of their own creation... -- (link) - znufrii Jun 24, 14:17 3
- how can it be a double down if there's only one piece of chicken? -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 14:25
- "I can't say for certain, but it looks like you're making a sandwich with the bun. Well done." -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:25 1
  - brilliant line. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:26
Whooping Cough Now Epidemic in California -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:16 3
- Dog, just curious... have you ever contemplated starting a thread by just talking? - TFox Jun 24, 14:18 1
  - Good point, Randy. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:22
- "So far this year, five children have died, all infants younger than three months." -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:18
*headdesk* that is all -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 14:15
This is gonna be a long night. Bachelor party. Multiple bars and probably a strip club. And I have to work 16 hrs tomorrow - sycor Jun 24, 14:14 30
- Do you wear glasses? Wear them. Also: a hat. - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:16
- Thursday night Bachelor Party? -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 14:15 1
  - it was the only night we all had off work. a lot of us work the night shift at the theater together. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:20
- who throws a bachelor party on a thursday? -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 14:15
- and for the record, at 33 yrs old this will be my first trip to a strip club. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:15 25
  - I didn't even realize NC had them -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 14:16 18
    - Ooh, I went to a few good ones in North Carolina, around Charlotte. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:17
    - oh shit, is that where he is. I went to a dual strip club there once. Impressive - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:17 16
      - I'm doubly surprised there are male strip clubs in NC - ty97 Jun 24, 14:17 15
        
        it was a long time ago -the thing about NC - they do the same stuff as big cities, they just don't advertise they do it - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:20 13
        
        true. and place we are going is fairly new. so hopefully it wont be too seedy. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:20 12
        
        honestly the seedy ones are more relaxed and it is more fun - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:22 11
        
        I like higher end places. I'll spend the same amount in either place; I'm still throwing $1's. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:24
        
        good points. I'm not looking to get any action. hell, I could care less about going honestly. - sycor Jun 24, 14:23 9
        
        online titties are way less fun that stripper titties. - TFox Jun 24, 14:26 1
        
        L3 -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:27
        
        it is about atmosphere and hanging out with the boys - I am razzing you about all the rest - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:24 1
        
        I know. :) it will be a good time just because of my friends. it doesn't matter what we do. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:25
        
        Lap dances! -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:24 4
        
        I swear to god if he comes back tomorrow and is engaged to a stripper I am going to giggle - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:28 3
        
        You don't get engaged in one night. - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:30
        
        my wife might have a problem with that. - sycor Jun 24, 14:30 1
        
        Oh, stripper engagements don't happen overnight, but stipper divorces do. - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:31
        
        they have ladies night. I didn't know there were male strip clubs though -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:19
  - Leave your camera at home - take ones, there is sex in the champagne room but you don't want to spend that kind of jack - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:15 5
    - no way. Chris Rock said there is NO sex in the champagne room. -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:19 3
      - Chris obviously had a wife at home. heh. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:20 2
        
        yeah I probably wouldn't want to spend that much money anyway. I'm not paying $200+ for sex. - sycor Jun 24, 14:21 1
        
        you are going to have fun no matter what - it is definitely an experience -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:24
    - *AGREES* with point #1. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:16
LYC: car update - marcel Jun 24, 14:11 3
- offer less because it is not the one you ordered, before committing to it -- nm - peglegpete Jun 24, 14:19 2
  - i do get a better car - more stuff in it, the color is more expensive and nicer -- nm - marcel Jun 24, 14:22
  - maybe you can save another thousand or so -- nm - peglegpete Jun 24, 14:20
you can refresh the WC page for the latest standings. I added stuff to show which teams are out and which have qualified for the next round. -- nm - zork Jun 24, 14:11 9
- A lot will change depending on who wins Spain/Chile -- nm - Guigue Jun 24, 14:14
- what are the highlighted? some are crossed out, some not, and some highlighted. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:14 7
  - I thought it would be obvious *sigh*. Highlighted means they've advance, nothing means their status is not yet determined, and crossed out is ovbie - zork Jun 24, 14:16
  - Im guessing qualified for the next round -- nm - Guigue Jun 24, 14:14 5
    - Oh, are they all not done with figuring out the "Round 2" teams (or whatever)? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:15 4
      - Hyde and JackDawson still have a chance for all their teams to advance as mine have *blows on fingernails* -- nm - zork Jun 24, 14:18 1
        
        and I should start rooting for Chile. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:19
      - Groups G and H have their final games tomorrow -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 14:17
      - 4 matches left to go -- nm - Guigue Jun 24, 14:16
Excellent! Chaos is returning to Leverage! -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:10 6
- C.H.A.O.S.? -- nm - Maxwell Smart Jun 24, 14:14
- YES!!!!!!!!!!! what about the girl hitter? -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:11 4
  - God, she's hot. -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:26
  - One can only hope. :) -- nm - Eliot si Jun 24, 14:12 2
    - don't you ever get tired of getting your ass kicked by a girl? -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:16
    - this made me laugh -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 14:16
[deleted] 4
- vote Clinton/Whore 2012 -- nm - peglegpete Jun 24, 14:16
- I see you grip it with your whole fist. I like to use a more gentle grip like this. -- nm - zork Jun 24, 14:13
- "guess where this bottle has been!"nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:11
- Bill's new rent-boy is a step up from Gore. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:11
Seriously, who doesn't own a frigging toaster? -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 14:07 11
- moi -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:17
- *raises hand* We have a toaster oven. Space issue. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:12
- I don't. I do have a toaster oven though. those are different right? -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 14:09 2
  - Different, but a toaster oven substitutes nicely. We, apparently, have neither. -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 14:13
  - Same for me. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 14:12
- I don't have a microwave, or a toaster oven -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 14:08 5
  - don't have a mic..ro...wave? - ty97 Jun 24, 14:13 3
    - eating microwave dinners is foreign to me :) When I had one, I only used it for reheating leftovers and steaming vegetables -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 14:22 1
      - the one time i miss it is when i cook squash. it was so fast in the microwave. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 14:29
    - i used to have one, but i decided to ditch it. you just can't fall back on packaged stuff. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 14:16
  - i don't have either of those either. but i do have a toaster. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 14:10
Medvedev got a Twitter account! -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:07
No one cares, but this closing paragraph of this review basically perfectly sums up the new Eminem album: - TFox Jun 24, 14:07 5
- rapereviews.com -- nm - What Beaker read Jun 24, 14:13
- hmm. -- nm - Callisto Jun 24, 14:09 3
  - it's also topically less overtly misogynist. like, not 100%, but his primary focus no longer sounds like it's shocking people. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:12 2
    - I just got tired of him in that aspect. -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 14:21 1
      - Just like the review, I did not at all think I was ever going to be really into an Eminem album again, for that reason. - TFox Jun 24, 14:22
Yay, the sql versioning proof-of-concept I wrote for work seems to work. Mostly. - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:04 4
- *sigh* Amateur. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 14:08 1
  - *raises a questioning eyebrow, in the style of The Rock* -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:09
- What did you name it? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 14:05 1
  - Intersect. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 14:08
Why *can't* Lebron win in Cleveland? I've heard lots of people say it, but with no real reasoning. - musubi Jun 24, 14:04 42
- he is not a winner. not a killer closer like Jordan or Kobe. doesn't have it now and never will -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 14:17 1
  - Hrmmm.....it's impressive how the biggest Mickelson fan on these boards is condeming James for not winning the big one 7 years into his career -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:19
- [deleted] 9
  - *giggle* -- nm - ESPN Pinhead Jun 24, 14:17
  - *buys his new Cavaliers Lebron jersey* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:15
  - the second he wrote "Clips", he proved that he was a fucking moron. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:15 6
    - Just curious, because I've not paid that close attention, why are the Clippers out of the question? - musubi Jun 24, 14:16 5
      - Cuz they're the Clippers. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:17
      - short answer: they are the Clippers. the *only* thing they have is the cap space. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:16 3
        
        Yup. Horrible ownership. Cursed team. It's a dream sell. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 14:19
        
        Though if David Geffen is serious about buying the team, they (finally) become legitimate. -- nm - David Jun 24, 14:19 1
        
        If Sterling lets go, sure. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:20
- Cleveland's cap is pretty screwed as far as changing a lot of guys... and what's there isn't enough -- nm - stewie Jun 24, 14:07 11
  - it's like they didn't have the best record in the league last year. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:09 10
    - And from what it seems, cap space doesn't prevent a team from improving. - musubi Jun 24, 14:12
    - 1 year older on Shaq(if he is still there) and Jamison? - groiny Jun 24, 14:10 8
      - Jamison 2 years $28 mil... Mo Williams 3 years $25 mil... Varajao 5 years $40 mil - stewie Jun 24, 14:18 7
        
        Every year there's guys getting traded for nonsense becuase they have expiring deals. That ain't going to change going forward after this free agent - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:19 6
        
        but none of those 3 are expiring - stewie Jun 24, 14:21 5
        
        This is so embarassingly wrong, it amuses me to see you say it. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:23
        
        There'll be trades for the sake of trades. I'll take my chances with a team that wins 60+ several times in a row - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:23 3
        
        successful? I'm not saying they won't make the playoffs - stewie Jun 24, 14:28 2
        
        (actually I kind of am.. because Lebron is gone.) -- nm - stewie Jun 24, 14:29 1
        
        For what reason? Less money, ditching home....admitting he can't win the big one? - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:30
- I doubt they get any better than they were this year. - groiny Jun 24, 14:07 14
  - You mean the year that they had the best record in the league and went to the conference semifinals? Doesn't seem like they can't win. (nm) - musubi Jun 24, 14:09 13
    - So they could be the Buffalo Bills of the NBA? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:10 12
      - So Jim Kelly shoulda gone to the Lions instead of trying to win with the already good team he had? - musubi Jun 24, 14:14 11
        
        I think it's a function of having more weapons on another team. Frankly Kobe has been the exception of the last couple of decades, but typically you - pmb Jun 24, 14:18 9
        
        Kobe's no exception. - musubi Jun 24, 14:22 8
        
        Actually I forgot about Gasol. So that really proves my point. There's a very big difference between the regular season and the playoffs. It's much - pmb Jun 24, 14:26 2
        
        no it doesn't. Most weapons don't win games. Playing well does. CLE has proven they can do that. - musubi Jun 24, 14:32 1
        
        I agree it's false. I just think the odds are higher elsewhere. I think he will win more championships elsewhere. I think winning the most he can - pmb Jun 24, 14:38
        
        Hell, you have TFox thanking god his elbow was injured.....it wasn't like there isn't a potential reason he didn't win that series this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:24 4
        
        and they dumped their coach in the process? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 14:25 3
        
        Mike Brown was awful. They win in spite of him not becuase of him. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:26 2
        
        I think this is one of the hardest things in sports to determine: whether a coach/manager makes a star better or leaches off of their success. - David Jun 24, 14:29 1
        
        I'll feel comfortable in saying Brown couldn't coach via his lack of strategy and recognizing the game in front of him.q - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:32
        
        No, but being the best during the season means nothing if you can't get the ring. - groiny Jun 24, 14:17
- Right, he's the king...he asks, there should be a line out the door. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 14:05
- It's like saying LeBron could win a championship at a Charlotte or Golden State -- nm - budice Jun 24, 14:05
- Because he hasn't done it yet. That's the entire argument. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 14:05
