We are having our monthly company meeting, and they brought in Pizza Hut "Big Italy" pizzas. They may be the worst pizza I've ever had. - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:50 8
- You know, I love pizza, but lately it is just not appealing to me. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 27, 08:52 7

- like MDH said, jacked up -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 08:46 1

        Har! I nearly had you the game before it, as well. - Spawn Aug 27, 08:50 2

  - I work a different one of the Big 4. - MDH Aug 27, 08:32 1
    - hehe. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 27, 08:33
- FYI Contains some NSFW language but it's hysterical. -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 08:26 3
  - Your job or the link? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:27 2
    - I think MDH works for a big accounting company, so he must mean the link -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 08:28
    - The video uses the f*** 2-3 times -- nm - MDH Aug 27, 08:28

- It doesn't have a keyboard right? I think that's what is holding me back from getting it. -- nm - lileve Aug 27, 08:18 1
  - I believe you are correct. The Sprint version (Epic) is the one with the keyboard -- nm - oblique Aug 27, 08:19
Relatedly: Have you seen the set list for next month's Guitar Hero? Rush's entire 2112 album, Queensryche, Perfect Circle, Pantera... -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:15 9
- ~HEY AQUALUNG.....~ nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 08:38
- ~just a thousand miles and I'll be home...~ -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 27, 08:24
- 2112 makes me very happy. It will be ridiculous to play. And for Rush fans, if you haven't seen the Rock Doc about them on the Palladia network, - pmb Aug 27, 08:21 5
  - (It would be awesome if they put La Villa Strangiato out. That would be harder than Fire & Flames.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:27
  - Yep, that's a great documentary. I had no idea some of that stuff that happened to Peart. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:24 3
    - I found it fascinating to hear about the guy who taught Peart to play the drums. - pmb Aug 27, 08:36 2
      - Not taught, but "re-taught." - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:44 1
        
        Right. It's a great thing to see how he works at it. -- nm - pmb Aug 27, 08:53

Hey Walt... Who's your Flex keeper? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 08:12 3
- I think the deadline is going to pass with at least a few teams not naming keepers. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:36
- Honestly not sure. I keep trying to get my password for BOP and its not been sent to me.... - Walt_Disney Aug 27, 08:33 1
  - You should probably let one of the top BOP people know, since keepers are due today. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:43
Rock Band DLC for next week is a bunch of Country songs. - JaxSean Aug 27, 08:09 1
- Finally, an actual fun Dierks song....and that Reba song would be fun. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:11
I must be feeling better. I just got a craving for the Mac-n-Cheese from last night. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 27, 08:09
guys, I am suffering from a very severe case of the "fat and happies." I don't want to be cured. mmmm, carrot cake. -- nm - workmanda Aug 27, 08:07 1

34% of women worldwide view adult web sites, more than view sites devoted to health, clothing , or family and parenting according to new study (link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Aug 27, 08:02 1

Strasburg has torn ligament, surgery likely -- (link) - Beaker Aug 27, 07:47 28
- [deleted]
- the Post is saying he "probably...will miss 12 to 18 months" (though it's pretty clear that's just speculation) -- (link) - prayformojo Aug 27, 07:54 17
  - If it's Tommy John, it's normally 12-18 months. He'll be ready to pitch again in 2012 and by the all-star break, he'll be rounding into form. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 07:56 16
    - It's entirely possible he's pitching at the end of next year. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:03 14
      - I wouldn't rush it though if I was the Nats. Does anyone expect them to be competing next year? No. So leave him on the bench until Opening Day 2012 - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 08:06 13
        
        I think if he can pitch at the end of the year, they should pitch him. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:14
        
        eventually you kinda have to let him pitch though, you can't save him for the playoffs -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:08 11
        
        Especially since it's the Nats. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:09 4
        
        I didn't actually mean "playoffs"; replace that with forever. He can't end up being 30 and have pitched only 100 innings a year - Beaker Aug 27, 08:22 3
        
        No, they were treating him as a 22 year old pitcher with a prior career high of 120 innings or so - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:27 1
        
        I like the way the Rangers have been doing it *shrug* -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:30
        
        I see where Dibble was coming from earlier in the week, only without all the crazy -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:23
        
        What playoffs...they'll likely still be 20 games out next season. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:09 5
        
        It might not be rush back. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:18
        
        does his injury time count against his 3 year contract? -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 08:11 3
        
        You mean in regards to his arb clock? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 08:20 1
        
        The 15 and 60 day DLs do count towards service time. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 08:39
        
        He'll still get paid and he'll still be under their control thru 2015 or 2016. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:16
    - I wouldn't go up there without kelvar. - Mel Profit Aug 27, 07:57
- Will he still be able to pick up his ROY award? -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 07:54
- Pull up a chair buddy. *Hands him a drink* -- nm - Mark Prior and Kerry Wood Aug 27, 07:53
- Pitch through it! -- nm - Rob Dibble Aug 27, 07:51 1
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 07:59

- The surgery is likely Tommy John surgery. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 27, 07:50
- Tommy John surgery that is I gather... -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 07:49 1
  - Yup. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 07:50
Abby took the news about not having the dog for the weekend kinda hard, though she recovered nicely - prayformojo Aug 27, 07:47 2
- Although I hate them, she might also take her to the pet store. Or the humane society. -- nm - mara Aug 27, 07:47 1
  - as if Abby would let them leave without bringing a pet home - zork Aug 27, 07:53

- Awesome. I think I'll have 160 after the quarterly load on September 1st. -- nm - Jelly Aug 27, 07:43
- *Days*?!? What are you, JackDawson's secretary? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:38 3
  - hours -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 07:38 2
    - (I figured.) :) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 27, 07:43 1
      - 360 days would have been nice -- nm - zork Aug 27, 07:54

- Do they periodically dump a tank of O2 in there? You'd think eventually it'd be all CO2. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 07:38 1
