  - Not that I totally trust anything in the initial media feeding frenzy, but now people are saying he may be related to Charles Keating? -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 16, 11:43
- The one thing that seems to be misunderstood about the $250K seems to be the difference between a small business bringing in that much vs income. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 16, 11:39 8
  - More like 99% of Americans don't care to start their own business, ever -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:41 1
    - and 99% of the 1% who do will claim less than $250,000 income. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 11:45
  - or more accurately, revenue vs. earnings -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:40
  - That whole thing is kinda fuzzy for me. -- nm - Jim Oct 16, 11:40 4
    - In that there is a difference between a business earning in excess of $250K, but the owner making less than that. -- nm - TFox Oct 16, 11:44 3
      - For most small businesses, that is the same, if by earnings you mean net income -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:46 1
        
        (sole proprietorships) -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:47
      - The whole tax plan and how it effects the small business owner, who's business makes that much, but he does not. - Jim Oct 16, 11:46
- Turns out the other "Joe the plumber" is in fact registered. -- (link) - VMan Oct 16, 11:35 2
  - Under the Ohio case that's going to court, would he be purged from the rolls? -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 11:41 1
    - Haven't heard anything of the case to comment and of course IANAL. -- nm - VMan Oct 16, 11:44

- Which version? - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 16, 11:38 1
  - just playing the 3 disc DVD set. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 11:39
- I think the show could have evolved into a great rep of the books. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:31 1
  - This is the first one I've seen where he's really cut loose, much better than the others. and yeah it could have been excellent. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 11:32

    - You idiot, I *am* Jim Van Nest! - rollo Oct 16, 11:28 1
      - From what I've been told. The best part, for me, is that I don't even remember posting that. nm - Jim Oct 16, 11:31
    - Or maybe even Rollo Tomasi! -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:27 1
      - It could be. Hard to tell. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:27

- hmmm, *turns around* and where is Qale? I never see him and DMac in the same post, hmmm. -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:14
This has got to be the most bizzare itinerary I've ever seen on Orbitz - znufrii Oct 16, 11:07 15
- what's so weird about it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:08 14
  - I'd never seen scheduled helicopter service on there before -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:09 13
    - yeah, continental advertises it to Newark. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:09 12
      - as if it wouldn't just be cheaper and faster for me to just take a car service to EWR... - znufrii Oct 16, 11:11 11
        
        Jet Blue? -- nm - psilotum Oct 16, 11:13 6
        
        for some reason, not listed on orbitz. I know they're cutting it for the winter and only doing it seasonally from now on, so it's an option for next s -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:17 5
        
        The discounts don't list with the search sites (Jet Blue, Southwest, etc.) -- nm - psilotum Oct 16, 11:19 3
        
        in my experience their schedules are listed, but you have to book directly through them. -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:20 2
        
        it might just be that JetBlue has not published their schedules for next summer -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:20 1
        
        and my suspicions are confirmed, as their website is only accepting bookings through April -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:22
        
        summer -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:17
        
        continental has a hub at Newark. much faster to fly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:13 3
        
        but then there's the time it would take me to get to JFK to catch the helcopter to fly to EWR -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:16 2
        
        maybe you are not their target client! -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:17 1
        
        probably not. - znufrii Oct 16, 11:18
test -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 11:07 1
- litmus? -- nm - John McCain Oct 16, 11:07
Guy's post on B2 makes me want to join a biker gang -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:06
What's the difference between someone who buys a ticket to the Hall of Fame and Edgar Martinez? - David Oct 16, 11:03 24
- the person who buys a ticket actually belongs there? -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:13
- The guy who buys a ticket probably owns a fielding glove. What do I win? (nm) - musubi Oct 16, 11:09 12
  - the DH has been part of baseball for 35 years, deal with it -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:12 11
    - DH's better be absolutely dominant to deserve HOF status, deal with *that*. (nm) - musubi Oct 16, 11:18 7
      - dominant? like so dominant as to be considered the best there was at the position and have MLB rename a trophy after them? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:22 6
        
        No, like better than all the other hitters who have played at real positions. - musubi Oct 16, 11:25 5
        
        so you want to throw the glove guys out of the Hall? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:28 4
        
        Of course not (well, not all of them). Hitting prowess is regarded in the context of the primary position played. - musubi Oct 16, 11:35 3
        
        even using your contextual argument, I ask again, do you want Ozzie Smith thrown out of the Hall of Fame? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:38 2
        
        The guy whom many regarded as the best defensive player to ever play the game? Nah. - musubi Oct 16, 11:43 1
        
        Oh, I see. *Flair* is the deciding aspect. How very Office Space. -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:45
    - Players don't come up through the minors developing thei DH skills. They play the position because either they can't field anymore or... - Inigo Oct 16, 11:16 2
      - ahem -- nm - Big Pappi Oct 16, 11:18 1
        
        Even he started as a first baseman. -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 11:21
- In perhaps the most explosive offensive era of all-time, mostly sitting on the bench for 3 hours at a time, and never having a MVP season, I'm... - Don Homer Oct 16, 11:09 8
  - If you don't have longevity in baseball, you need ungodly Koufax-like numbers to make up for it. - Inigo Oct 16, 11:13 6
    - 34th all time -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:16 5
      - That's not helping your argument. -- nm - Inigo Oct 16, 11:24 1
        
        so the fact that 111 Hall Of Famers were worse at this than him is not helping? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:35
      - Higher than 133 hitters in the HoF, making him top 20th percentile. -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:20 2
        
        Now, let's adjust for the insane offensive era he played in...... -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 16, 11:30 1
        
        And he's still sitting at #34 all-time... -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:34
  - did you get a drink of Willy's Wrong juice this am? -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:12
- Martinez might get to see his own memoribilia on display for the price of his ticket. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 16, 11:07
Have you berymandered yet today? -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:00 18
- What does that mean. -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:06 13
  - nmb - zork Oct 16, 11:07 1
    - Oh sure. I'll do it now. THANKS! -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:07
  - it's a codeword for the action required to enhance site revenue -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:06 10
    - I clicked on an ad for Sarah Palin, McCain, a search engine and something else. -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:08 9
      - For some reason my alma mater came up, so I clicked on that. -- nm - Roger More Oct 16, 11:10
      - shhhh. nmb - zork Oct 16, 11:09 7
        
        Okies. They are the most random and strange ads. I almost perfer the half naked girls of TT ads. -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:11 5
        
        and I didn't think I could like you more ;-) -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:12
        
        I'm sure we'll get some of those at some point. We just don't have the pagerank yet to get targetted stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:11 3
        
        See if you can get cool ads like ThinkGeek, Cartoon Network. Videogames! -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:14 2
        
        That would be nice :) Unfortunately, Google doesn't let me pick. It's all based on context, which is why we get New Mexico ads. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:15 1
        
        Yes. I know. Makes some pretty funny ads. -- nm - lileve Oct 16, 11:16
        
        heheh, but still, of all the things to waste advertiser's dollars on ... those are some of the best. - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:10
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 11:05
- a couple of times now -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:04
- yes, yes i have. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 11:00 1
  - I take back a full 40% of the nasty things I've said about you this week. -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:02
Okay, I am not D.Mac but I *will* say this: Someone on this board is not who you think they are. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 10:59 20
- Someone here is the 12th cylon? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 16, 11:34

  - SO you don't need this? ::sheepishly puts away vial full of semen:: -- nm - secretslacker Oct 16, 11:07 1
    - ummm, puts away does not have to mean drink -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:10

      - How the heck did Abby do those DNA tests on NCIS in the middle of Stillwater? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:07 6
        
        oh, she was doing serological tests. Those can be done in the field. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:08 5
        
        And that is enough to prove paternity? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:08 4
        
        exclude based on blood type? and maybe some other markers? -- nm - zork Oct 16, 11:12 2
        
        yeah. Going to rewatch it now, brb. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:14 1
        
        Yeah, she did serological tests for blood type. then she did electrophoresis which showed a genetic anomaly. - loosilu Oct 16, 11:26
        
        no but it could be disproved. hmmm, now I need to rewatch that scene. -- nm - loosilu Oct 16, 11:09
  - *bends over* -- nm - kilboooo Oct 16, 11:04 2
    - *unzips cheek swabber* -- nm - ty97 si Oct 16, 11:08
