  - why are wasps better? -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 18:04 1
    - Bees make honey. -- nm - nubby Aug 6, 18:04
  - Bees are worse than wasps? I'd have to move if either lived in my walls. - Krusty Aug 6, 18:02 5
    - Bes don't bother me. Except for the times they've stung me. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 18:03 4
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 18:05 3
        
        Two were a year apart, first on one knee, next year the other. On opposite sides of the same corner. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 18:07 2
        
        Jeez. I'd avoid that block after that. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 18:19 1
        
        I did the best I could after that. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 18:33
- Yeah, I have about 80 more than I need. -- nm - nubby Aug 6, 17:58

So...has anyone posted the L O S T epilogue here yet? - Jim Aug 6, 17:41 9
- That's about as good as I could hope for. -- nm - nubby Aug 6, 17:58
- Yes and and I think it's rather crappy of them to include new stuff to get people to buy the overpriced dvds. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 17:43 4
  - Not really overpriced...Amazon has it to pre-order for $150. - Jim Aug 6, 17:43 1
    - $150 for all the seasons? That's not that bad but I just can't justify spending that much money for dvd's of a tv show. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 17:47
  - [deleted] 1
    - I'll download it, I loved the show, but I still think it sucks. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 17:45
- [deleted] 2

wow, A Flock of Seagulls is playing a free concert in Hamilton this weekend (an hour west of Toronto.) -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 17:08 1
- that's... low -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 17:08
wait a sec, we're supposed to apologize for dropping atomic bombs on Japan? -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 16:43 26
- there's a wide gap between apologizing for it and celebrating the event. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 16:52 21
  - it ended world war 2. I'd say that's a cause for celebration -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 17:16 19
    - i doubt that - Danedukenuuk Aug 6, 17:34 1
      - Just think how it would be if we had a holiday on the anniversary of the bombing of Dresden. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 17:35
    - That part was great. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 17:16 16
      - and the amount of american soldier's lives it saved. Imagine if we had to invade Japan.crazy -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 17:18 15
        
        All I'm saying is, if dropping nuclear weapons was such a joyous event, we'd be doing it a lot more often, instead of trying never to do it again. - TFox Aug 6, 17:21 13
        
        I'm not saying we should celebrate killing innocents at all obvie, I'm saying it was the right call at the time -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 17:24 12
        
        Here's the thing: if you want to celebrate Victory over Japan Day in a reasonably tasteful way, do it when they formally surrendered. - TFox Aug 6, 17:28 4
        
        august 6 remembers the dropping of the atomic bomb and is certainly not a celebration -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 6, 17:41 1
        
        Right, its not Aug 6 technically, its the second Monday of Aug, matching the 14th. - TFox Aug 6, 17:44
        
        Reading more, I am misremembering, and VJ Day is the day of the announcement of surrender on the 14th. - TFox Aug 6, 17:34
        
        Uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 17:31
        
        I may be mistaken but wasn't the war basically over by the time we dropped the bombs? - Krusty Aug 6, 17:27 5
        
        I'm not sure, but the way I heard it was that the Japanese would have kept going regardless. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 17:33 1
        
        there are different oppinions on that - Danedukenuuk Aug 6, 17:37
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        that is the classic view yes - Danedukenuuk Aug 6, 17:38
        
        I wasn't sure but I've heard that it was basically over and we were just flexing out muscles, so to speak. I should really pick up a book or two - Krusty Aug 6, 17:33
        
        It was but there are groups here that don't want to admit the rest. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 17:27
        
        But it also killed and maimed a lot of innocent people. That part should not be celebrated or forgotten either. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 6, 17:21
  - I think they'd settle for an admission that we killed and maimed a lot of innocent people. - the liioulu with Aug 6, 16:55

    - Ah. I thought he was referring to the Victory Day discussion this morning. This makes more sense. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 16:59

So, today in the airport security line in front of me was a really tall thin dude with patchy hair. He turned around, "Hi, you're Bill Walton!" - Will Hunting Aug 6, 16:16 6

- He thought you were Bill Walton? -- nm - Black Rabbit Aug 6, 17:03

    - I texted Dawson and told him that Cashman must have lost a bet or been drunk when he picked up Vazquez. - Krusty Aug 6, 17:24 5
      - I feel like we'll need a sweepy type of weekend to keep the dream alive on this season right now. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 17:45 4
        
        you have to take no less than 3 out of 4 to even sniff a shot. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 17:46 3
        
        We've got 7 more against NYY and 6 more against TB. - TFox Aug 6, 17:49 1
        
        you certainly are not out yet, but you can ill afford to lose 3 of 4 here - groiny Aug 6, 17:51
        
        Yup. It's getting late in the season quickly. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 17:49
Yeah, I'm watching the game on mute. Michael Kay is an ass -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 16:09 15
- YES has the worst announcers in all of sports. -- nm - Tim Aug 6, 16:11 14
  - Kay can be annoying but I like Singleton and it's pretty good when O'Neill is working. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 16:42 2
    - O'neill is good imo -- nm - CQ Aug 6, 16:49 1
      - He's funny and smart. Doesn't hurt that he tells some interesting baseball stories. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 17:28
  - They're bad, but not worse than the ChiSox guys, or the Nats guys. (nm) - musubi Aug 6, 16:28 8
    - [deleted] 7
      - imo, a local announcer should be the epitome of homerism. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 16:54
      - I don't mind homerism to a degree. Hawk goes full ridic. - musubi Aug 6, 16:51 4
        
        I know a Nats fan who HATES Dibble. I love Gary, Ron and Keith when I get to watch SNY though. -- nm - Tim Aug 6, 17:52 1
        
        The Mets announcers are great and fun to listen to. Darling I like a lot, Keith is okay and Gary is a classic announcer type of guy. -- nm - Krusty Aug 6, 18:07
        
        I love Harrelson, but can understand why out of towners would feel that way. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 17:48
