Something I would never have guessed: LiLo has lovely handwriting. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 9, 10:04 13
- Why does she write in the third person? Maybe that's the lawyers notes. -- nm - lileve Jul 9, 10:13 5
  - From the article, it seems as if they saw her write. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 10:13 4
    - Not sure they are right, the writing on her finger and nail are completely different. She was taking notes but I don't think those are hers. -- nm - lileve Jul 9, 10:14 3
      - maybe she really did pay a nail technician to put that on her finger. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 10:15 2
        
        She has writing on her right pointers too. -- nm - lileve Jul 9, 10:17 1
        
        right pointer finger too -- nm - lileve Jul 9, 10:19

SITWAP: Huffington Post Article says that if Americans can not find a job, they should consider moving to Canada....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Jul 9, 09:59 12

    - Ten houses for every citizen! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 9, 10:27
    - Congress is so broken, even Harper's minority Conservatives can govern the U.S. better. Lease out the country for 6 months. - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 9, 10:09 1
      - I think you overestimate the productivity of Canadians ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 10:12
    - I dunno if a country can survive a 90% drop in population and be considered "booming" :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 10:09 1
      - There'd be alot of jobs to fill. Then the Americans could move back from Canada to fill them. See?! -- nm - Loyola Jul 9, 10:10

- I like twice a week for classes. One week is enough time to forget. Twice a week keeps it fresh in your mind. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 09:57
- c) three days a week, airhead -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 09:55 3
  - doable. MWF 8:30 - 11:00pm. no way. -- nm - workmanda Jul 9, 09:57 2

- I still say how quickly he ripped off his jersey at the end of the Boston series was so telling -- nm - amoxy Jul 9, 10:20
- Gilbert sounds like a brat. But I have no doubt LeBron was also a jack*** about it all. - MDH Jul 9, 09:57
- he's just not that into you -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 09:55

At last night's picnic I had a homemade cheeseburger that probably equated to my daily point/calorie allowance......and that didn't include - MojaveMeg Jul 9, 09:49
"4 x 3 doesn't equal 12, that's just making numbers say what you want them to." (nm) - musubi Jul 9, 09:45 17
- And since groiny only believes players: how about Lance Berkman saying the Derby doesn't mess up players (link) - musubi Jul 9, 09:50 2
  - and how long did he last in the derby? - groiny Jul 9, 09:57 1
    - Pujols pariticpated three times. 2003, he declined in the 2nd half. 2007 he *improved*. 2009 he was within .007 of his OPS before and after. - musubi Jul 9, 10:11
- if you program a computer to put ramdom carracters in sequence - Danedukenuuk Jul 9, 09:50 1
  - There's a special level of irony of this coming from you. (nm) - musubi Jul 9, 09:55
- you are saying that just because he hit 18 pre all star game, means he was only going to hit, at most 12 the rest of the way - groiny Jul 9, 09:48 3
  - No. It's saying he *overperformed* in the first half. A regression to a lower rate *is* expected, regardless of derby or no. - musubi Jul 9, 09:52 2
    - the swing is different when TRYING to hit a home run, sure, it can mess them up. - groiny Jul 9, 09:59 1
      - Yeah. Eff those nerds. And Lance Berkman. And all the guys who didn't fail after the Derby. - musubi Jul 9, 10:13
- Oh, and egghead guesses? C'mon. - musubi Jul 9, 09:47 3
  - It's PRE-SEASON PREDICTIONS! They're not .... real. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:49 2
    - seriously dude, regression to the mean. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 09:57
    - Educated guesses based on data, that has shown to be very reliable over time. - musubi Jul 9, 09:54
- 10 ab's prior..... 16 after..... those numbers sound pretty straightforward - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:47 3
  - not to make the nuclear option comparison, but some kids displayed signs of autism after getting vaccinated. - TFox Jul 9, 09:50 2
    - Let's put it this way....as my source data for first half vs 2nd half performance, I'll take actual 1st vs 2nd performance as my data set. - Will Hunting Jul 9, 09:57 1
      - if you ignore the player's historical rates to know whether your 1st and 2nd half rates are high or low, then thats a garbage comparison. - TFox Jul 9, 09:59
Mop, I posted a potential spin on B2. If they get fighty over it, we can boot him when he returns if they like till their war is over... -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 09:44 10
- He needs to go. I seem to recall us all being quite upset by his behavior at the time. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 9, 10:02 6
  - I wasn't upset nor was I informed of any arrangement with REBEL. -- nm - crash davis Jul 9, 10:07 2
    - I don't see why I would have made this commitment to REBEL otherwise. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 9, 10:12 1
      - well, if you informed me, I didn't remember it or keep a record of it -- nm - crash davis Jul 9, 10:30
  - really? I remember him saying he left to fight with his friends and that he would return when the war was over. The Alliances joining sped that up... -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 10:06 2
    - It was CWG who was pissed at ozno when he joined us originally, not REBEL. I remember that distinctly because I didn't like CWG's tone in the message - crash davis Jul 9, 10:10 1
      - The case remains: if he's only to return when the war is over, then he shouldn't be allowed to return yet. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 9, 10:16
- also, just say we promoted some new people and the one who let him back in didn;t know about our arrangement. -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 09:53 2
  - I have an alternate message to give them - crash davis Jul 9, 10:11
  - *throws crash under the bus* -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 09:53

    - I believe I just did ;) - JenBro Jul 9, 09:50
    - don't let Spawn see you. he has a man-crush on you -- nm - oblique Jul 9, 09:49 3
      - he uses white trash beer coozies to hold his cokes. that's a dealbreaker, ladies -- nm - chuckles Jul 9, 09:51 2
        
        and what kinda trash spends time in tijuana watching chicks uncork wine w/o a corkscrew? -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 09:54 1
