- What's an "RKO?" Real Knock Out? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 10:23 4
  - It appears to be named a "Randy Keith Orton" named after the dude that performs the move. Very original -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 10:27 1
    - I still don't get what the move was. - JaxSean Jul 13, 10:33

        is this the soccer calendar? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 10:04
        
        but it will never apply to you Reagen. You're a good egg. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:04
- What's the point of Foursquare (and similar sites)? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:59 13
  - To let potential thieves know you're not at home. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 10:13
  - Apparently its so that when you check in, you can see if other friends/people are around. And it offers their reccomendations/suggestions -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 10:08
  - if you're a retailer you want the repeat business and some companies give "mayors' special discounts.... - Remlik Jul 13, 10:01
  - It started as a location-based game where you "check-in" at a place using your phone and GPS. Now it has moved into the realm of connecting with - oblique Jul 13, 10:00 9
    - I'm still trying to figure out how to utilize Gowalla. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:03 5
      - It's pretty much the same thing but they are not growing at anywhere close to the clip Foursquare is -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 10:04 4
        
        They were pushing Gowalla hard at SXSW this year - ty97 Jul 13, 10:09 1
        
        there is another one called Causeworld, that donates to chairties when you check in. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:10
        
        and there is no "Mayor"-ship thing going on. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:06 1
        
        Yelp is rolling out Royalty now. I think Gowalla is more of just sharing location rather than a game aspect -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 10:11
    - I thought a Mayor was simply the most recent person to check in? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:03 2
      - nope -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 10:04
      - no. It's the person who has the most check-ins. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:03
Harvey Peakar died the other day as well as some singer Diva likes (I forget who) -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 09:56 8

  - no worries! I knew you knew so could inform the class much better than I! - Remlik Jul 13, 10:09 5
    - I was worried it came across like Rachel on Glee. -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 10:12 4
      - she pretty much has to be Elpheba in the Wicked movie at this point, right? - chuckles Jul 13, 10:14 3
        
        Are they doing a Wicked movie? -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 10:24 2
        
        looking for the director right now -- (link) - chuckles Jul 13, 10:25 1
        
        Lea Michele would have to cuss out Mel Gibson's gf to not get this part. -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 10:29

Steinbrenner was actually behind the curve with TV rigths for the yankees. Turner, WGN, Fox Sports and NESN were all much earlier adopters - musubi Jul 13, 09:51 14
- it's being reported all over that he was the first owner to sell tv cable rights to broadcast games.... - x Jul 13, 10:11 4
  - I don't know for sure, but I don't see how that's possible with TBS and WGN having Braves and Cubs/ChiSox games respectively for a long time. (nm) - musubi Jul 13, 10:23 3
    - the yankees cable games in the 80's were on wpix. that's who he sold the rights to early in the cable years....nm - x Jul 13, 10:26 2
      - I don't know exact dates, but we got cable in 1978 and WTBS already had baseball and WGN followed soon after. - David Jul 13, 10:33
      - Unless I'm reading this wrong, TBS carried Braves games since 1973. WPIX was a local station that carried Yankee games long before Steinbrenner. - musubi Jul 13, 10:31
- Lost in all this talk abou this legacy....Billy Martin just got fired from Hell's baseball team today and doesn't know why yet. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:55 2
  - I think Steinbrenner would be the commissioner of Hell's League -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 09:59 1
    - (But I'm sure he was a great guy in his private life and didn't actually go to hell, despite said wishes from many people) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:00

  - MSG is another regional sports pioneer, as I understand it. - musubi Jul 13, 10:05
  - i remember the braves on tbs long time ago. when they really sucked -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 09:54 3
    - they still do, just wait for it to happen. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 13, 10:05 2
      - no, but i mean they *really* sucked back then - chuckles Jul 13, 10:06 1
        
        Yeah, from about 85 to 90; they were as bad as the Indians - Will Hunting Jul 13, 10:07

- You can donate, but autologously. -- nm - nubby Jul 13, 10:17
- Or she's trying too hard to be non-discriminatory...... - MojaveMeg Jul 13, 10:05
- or she knows, and she doesn't care about the rule(s), because it's a stupid rule -- nm - flavorize Jul 13, 10:02 2
  - ask Canada's blood service how not following rules worked out. -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:04 1
    - Ask Arab-Americans how profiling is working out for them -- nm - flavorize Jul 13, 10:56
- A lot of my straight friends didn't know the blood donation rules -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 09:55 2
  - which is interesting, as they have to answer the same questions. - ty97 Jul 13, 09:56 1
    - Exactly my thinking. Unless it says "Are you gay?" they probably just ignore it as a ridiculous question -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 09:58
- she likely doesn't know the rules - Epiphany Jul 13, 09:52
- you can't donate if you are gay? - groiny Jul 13, 09:48 24
  - gay virgins can donate - ty97 Jul 13, 09:51 1
    - [deleted]
  - Don't want to spread the gay disease. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:49 5
    - they must not need the blood that bad. - groiny Jul 13, 09:50 4
      - If they were serious and wanted to be fair, they'd also stop taking blood donations from Black people. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:51 3
        
        I'd pay to see that. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 09:51 2
        
        You'd financially support racial discrimination?!?! -- nm - nubby Jul 13, 10:22

  - [deleted] 15
    - it has been so long since I donated, I had no idea. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:49 14
      - If you do donate, note the question "Are you a man who has had sex with another man, even once, since 1977" - ty97 Jul 13, 09:54 3
        
        I will never donate again, so non issue. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:54 1
        
        question 2: are you groiny? - dogbert Jul 13, 09:55
        
        just lie about it. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:54
      - i'm sure there are other ways you can give back to the community -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 09:50 9
        
        I donated my seed to many women's shelters. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:54 8
        
        you don't have to call them women's shelters, it's ok to say pussy here -- nm - dogbert Jul 13, 09:56 6
        
        "women's shelters" = kilbo's face -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 09:57 5
        
        "That escalated really fast. I mean, that really got out of hand." -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 09:59 1
        
        I'm not sure where the heck that came from. eep. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:08
        
        he prefers it be dumped on his tramp stamp of a krispy kreme donut - groiny Jul 13, 09:58
        
        yikes -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:57 1
        
        you should see what happens when he asks me to "top off" his beer. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 10:00
        
        But it's so valuable, why just give it away like that?! -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 09:55
- I would assume the latter, even if the former is true as well... -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 09:47
~show us the way to the next whiskey bar~ - znufrii Jul 13, 09:46
Max, you think a guy worth billions lets a little thing like death get in their way? -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:45 1
- I'm reminded of an episode of The Real Ghostbusters. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 09:46
