      - you mean in social skills? that's a crap shoot. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:21
    - your brother needs to talk to her NOW. this is serious. Don't worry about upsetting her. you SHOULD upset her. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:21

- the fingernail message is particularly childish and stupid. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 10:10 24
  - Of everything she's done (drugs, alcohol, driving under the influence, violating probation) it's silly to me that *this* is what people focus on. -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 10:16 15

        You wouldn't wear a t-shirt to a court hearing with "F*** U photogs" on it, would you? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 10:26
        
        It doesn't matter. You don't do that when you're going to be in a courtroom. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 10:25 2
        
        She drives while high and drunk. Why would she care? -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 10:27 1
        
        Precisely. She doesn't care about anything, even a court date or court room decorum. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 10:30
        
        wearing that to your court date? why would you interpret it any other way? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:24 2
        
        Why would you assume it can only have one meaning? - ty97 Jul 7, 10:26 1
        
        Maybe she meant it for some thing else. If so, then she's a stupid f*ck. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 10:27
      - exactly. She feels this is being done to her. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:22
    - it is symbolic of her attitude. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:17 3
      - because drugs, DUI, and violating probation aren't? -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 10:18 2
        
        We all know people who are likely ill with addiction in some form...what addiction is it to do this? - Will Hunting Jul 7, 10:20

    - there's more going on than just drugs. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 10:20 1
      - You think. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 7, 10:40
    - I don't hate her. I feel bad for her. -- nm - ty97 Jul 7, 10:19

  - I wonder if Portland wishes they could do that draft over.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:14 3
    - More than anything, they wish Oden could stay healthy. - David Jul 7, 10:16 2
      - hadn't he had problems with his knees at Ohio State? I thought I remembered that...plus he looks like he is 50. -- nm - Beaker Jul 7, 10:25 1
        
        He had broken his wrist pre-OSU that carried into the first semester of his year there...but nothing structural otherwise iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 10:27

  - well, boozer is still available to join him in cleveland. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 7, 10:11 4
    - I would actually pay to see the negotiations wherein Boozer re-signed with Cleveland. - David Jul 7, 10:13 3
      - If'n I was the owner, I'd offer him a that $695k rookie salary he skated on. - musubi Jul 7, 10:21
      - So would I. -- nm - Cavaliers Owner Jul 7, 10:18
      - its the nba, things dont make sense 1/2 of the time. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 7, 10:15
  - Since Cleveland can't get better now, yes. -- nm - David Jul 7, 10:10

- An ESPN reporter has been unable to confirm with ESPN that James will announce his decision on ESPN, but sources within ESPN have told the ESPN - Beaker Jul 7, 10:05 2
  - I don't suppose there's enough time to organize a "nobody watch this shit...like, make it have a 0 rating" movement, is there? -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:06 1
    - ka-ching $$$$$ -- nm - ESPN Jul 7, 10:07
- And it's right here where he has passed Favre. Are you fucking kidding me? - Jim Jul 7, 10:04 9
  - [deleted] 6
    - On my god...that would be the absolute best. How can we make it happen? -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:08 5
      - And how about if Favre announced he was coming back for one more year...as a Packer!!! -- nm - Jim Jul 7, 10:10 2
        
        [deleted] 1

  - *snort* (nm) - Stephen Jul 7, 10:06 1
    - well, I am pretty sure that fox told me that fox is the only trust worthy news station for Americans - tRuMaN Jul 7, 10:10

        [grin] Touch�. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 7, 10:06 1
