- Waterloo - moles Aug 12, 14:08
- Austerlitz? -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 14:08 5
  - yeah! -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 14:09 4
    - straight up guess, FWIW. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 14:09 3
      - we need to impose a penalty on you to discourage wild guess from reasonable ones. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 14:10 2
        
        my thought process for that was "Emperor? Uh.. Napoleon? Who else had emperors? Mostly Eastern Europe. Austerlitz? That's a battle, right?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 14:14
        
        Dignan pretends the ReyRey is Kelly Brook for everytime he guesses at a Q. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 14:13

- more serious answer with made up numbers: can you like, show them that they need, say, $50k for liabilities off the rip... - TFox Aug 12, 14:13
- I would. Without more information, I'd have to assume that 50% of the time I'm walking away with less than that. And the difference ... - zork Aug 12, 14:08
- If you take the $125,000 Kelly Brook will let you impregnate her. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 14:07
- Offer them another 10K to take the 125k. - musubi Aug 12, 14:07 7
  - Alternately, try to frame the 125k as in the bag. And emphasize they will *lose* 50k on a coin toss. - musubi Aug 12, 14:09 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - ?!? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 14:14 2
        
        It's an important part of the psych experiment to emphasize that the 125k is already in hand. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 14:15
        
        you said it Jaxier. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 14:15

    - "The state bar forbids me from guaranteeing you a large cash settlement, but just between you and me, I guarantee a large cash settelement." (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 14:10
- Without knowing the odds, I'd take the $125K -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 14:06
- the 125 tastes like strawberries -- nm - Max Aug 12, 14:05
- Flip a coin. Heads you get $75k, tails you get $175k. - JaxSean Aug 12, 14:05
- tell them the odds. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 14:04 6
  - [deleted] 4
    - Is there *any* chance the outcome could become $0 if they don't take the $125,000? -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 14:09 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Like I said, don't say that. It's 125k base. There's 50k in play on a coin toss, and ask them if they want to toss coin. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 14:11
    - do they know that you don't know the odds? you're a lawyer. lie. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 14:05
  - *glares* -- nm - Han Solo Aug 12, 14:05

    - This has never prevented a Mop smack down. Are you carrying an Immunity Card? -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Aug 12, 14:03 4
      - since when do you actually add something to one of your links? - TFox Aug 12, 14:04 3
        
        In his mond, he makes them all better, just for reposting them. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:05 2
        
        that's what all the exclamation points and "HOLY F&CK!"s over the most mundane things are for? - TFox Aug 12, 14:06

this is from bWayback but, for groiny: I don't want to be defended by someone who does that. I felt sick when I saw it. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 12, 13:56 [Backboard] 38
- and I told her so. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 13:58 5
  - I am sure, but it was just......odd. - groiny Aug 12, 14:12 4
    - well, and apparently she beats Redmond's drum too. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 14:14 2
      - Redmond wants to stay out of it, and I respect that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:15 1
        
        the vag is all powerful. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 12, 14:15
    - I assume she was upset I told her not to defend me. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:13
- *abstains from commenting* - Spawn Aug 12, 13:58 31
  - just by showing up, you've demonstrated your interest in what I have to say. - loosilu Aug 12, 13:59 30
    - Loosi, why? Can't you let things go? -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 14:06
    - Look! Kittens! -- (link) - CovingtonCat Aug 12, 14:02 [Image]
    - No, it is just odd that many think I attack your every post, and I don't and have not in quite a while. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:02 23
      - FWIW, I don't think anyone thinks you attack every post she makes (that would be a full time job-hey yo!). (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 14:04 16
        
        And it is not even that. Just that some people think I still have to swing away whenever she gives a low inside pitch. - Spawn Aug 12, 14:12 15
        
        that, again, is PR. you will have to find a way to reverse your image. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:14 14
        
        Once again, by responding with no response I will do this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:15 13
        
        Unfortunately, "responding with no reponse" doesn't accomplish that. -- nm - mara Aug 12, 14:16 1
        
        But see, that is the point. I can't treat her differently, and I can't treat her the same. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:26
        
        doesn't seem to be working. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:16 10
        
        Rome was not built in a day. - Spawn Aug 12, 14:17 9
        
        I am suggesting you might want to try something more effective. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:18 8
        
        i have to say, the irony of you offering him constructive advice after this morning is funny. -- nm - TFox Aug 12, 14:19 1
        
        Don't be mean. - Spawn Aug 12, 14:22
        
        Such as? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:18 5
        
        responding nicely? -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:23 4
        
        Like I did last night? - Spawn Aug 12, 14:25 3
        
        you forgot what you called me, apparently. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:25
        
        And earlier today? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:25 1
        
        that was a good start. Apart from that, you don't seem to understand - loosilu Aug 12, 14:26
      - I'm pretty sure this is true. He does slip up sometimes but is better lately. -- nm - zork Aug 12, 14:03
      - that means you have some PR work to do. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:03 4
        
        Hence my above abstention. - Spawn Aug 12, 14:04 3
        
        You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. -- nm - mara Aug 12, 14:06 2
        
        that's what I'm saying. -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:10
        
        I did not make a comment pertaining to the idea she expressed in her post. - Spawn Aug 12, 14:10
    - rubs peanut butter on loosi and spawn -- nm - zork Aug 12, 14:01 3
      - *please let him be allergic* -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 14:02 2
        
        Had it for lunch! -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 14:04
        
        heeee -- nm - zork Aug 12, 14:03
I'm reasonably certain that Kelly Brook would like me to get her pregnant. nm - Dignan Aug 12, 13:55 9

- that's the one who goes nude in Piranha 3D? -- nm - marcel Aug 12, 13:58 4
  - Yes, but perhaps better known as the one who wants me to get her wicked pregnant. nm - Dignan Aug 12, 14:00 3
    - - , + , !! -- nm - possible test results Aug 12, 14:01 2
      - I don't understand -- nm - 25% of American women Aug 12, 14:02 1
        
        They must be the same people who like the Republican party. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 14:08
- Go with it. -- nm - Mrs Chris Carter Aug 12, 13:56
- I think you should take up Halo to impress that girl you were telling us about last week -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 13:55 1
  - She learned who's boss when a mouse and keyboard is involved. nm - Dignan Aug 12, 14:01

- I would be curious to see what the Republicans numbers were in 1994 -- nm - amoxy Aug 12, 13:53
- I think John McCain could run again and people will be like, meh, how bad could it be, he's barely going to last another 4 years anyway. -- nm - Loyola Aug 12, 13:52
- I seriously wonder what it's going to take to have a serious third party emerge. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 13:51 19
  - Serious Question: What makes you think a third party would make it better? -- nm - NWBR on iPhone Aug 12, 13:56 9
    - Forget about better, it just makes no sense that both parties have approvals in the 20% range and yet a 3rd party can't emerge. -- nm - Dano Aug 12, 13:57 8
      - maybe the electorate is to blame after all -- nm - crash davis Aug 12, 13:58 7
        
        *ding*. There's a, dare I say it, personal responsibilty aspect to this problem. -- nm - NWBR on iPhone Aug 12, 14:00 6

        Relatedly, I saw there is a movement for a balanced budget amendment, as well as a 2/3 supermajority to raise taxes -- (link) - Roger More Aug 12, 14:12 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        If it's over the economic cycle, a balanced budget amendment might be OK (Britain does this) but year-on-year it's not a good idea. Gov't needs fiscal - Roger More Aug 12, 14:17

Math, Opera and Classical music? That seems more complex that Jeoplary usually goes. - musubi Aug 12, 13:46 18
- that's a single category? -- nm - loosilu Aug 12, 13:48 2
  - they can get pretty broad. "European History. Oh, that narrows it down." -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 13:49 1
    - the question writers also do Olympic broadcasts? -- (link) - zork Aug 12, 14:06 [Backboard]
- It's the kind of question you might find in Double for $400.00. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 13:47 6
  - Really? I watch a lot of Jeopardy and it doesn't seem like they mix math in to non-science questions often. (nm) - musubi Aug 12, 13:50 4
    - Here's a show where they had a category that was all about doing math -- (link) - Reagen Aug 12, 14:01 3
      - Gotcha, it just that those kinds of categories, to my recollection are centered around general knowledge numbers. - musubi Aug 12, 14:06 1
        
        the category spanned classical music in general not opera specifically. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 14:09
      - This what what I had in mind when i wrote the question. I was going to do it w/Shakespeare History plays but that seemed too arcane. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 14:05
  - it'd be a good FJ type question too. -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 13:48
