        Tebow shouldn't ask for much since he'll make tons in red state/right wing advertising. -- nm - David Jul 27, 06:36 1

So I'm having lunch in a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. The rest of you might as well not have lunch because whatever you have will be inferior -- nm - Roger More in the UK Jul 27, 05:26 16

After 50 years of baseball history, it amazes me that the Mets don't have a no-hitter consdiering who went thru their organization - Will Hunting Jul 27, 04:33 3

  - No. The standard shouldn't be any different for legal adults. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 04:46 5
    - Then the drinking age everywhere should be 18 -- nm - mobile mafic Jul 27, 05:16 4
      - I'd have no issue with this, combined with making the driving age 18 -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 05:18 3
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 27, 05:38 2
        
        I don't think they should be discovering how to cope with both of those things at the same time. -- nm - zork Jul 27, 05:55 1
        
        So lower the drinking age. -- nm - mara Jul 27, 06:31
