  - well, yeah. - znufrii Aug 31, 07:04 1
    - it seems to suggest a serious boundary issue. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:05
  - that's their problem. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:03 2
    - No, it's JackDawson's problem. They apparently want everything rather open. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 31, 07:06 1
      - I would not put up with that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:07
  - "This Friday is *my* date night with Dawson!" -- nm - lileve Aug 31, 07:03
- Maybe they wanted to be more than friends? -- nm - lileve Aug 31, 07:00

    - I'm surprised not more people are in codependent relationships, really. -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 31, 07:07 3
      - most people are smart enough to get out. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:07 2
        
        That goes against my theory that most people are idiots. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 07:10 1
        
        maybe it takes an uberidiot to get into that kind of relationship. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:11
    - *nods and rides away on a unicorn* -- nm - znufrii s.i. Aug 31, 07:03

  - He's still only 23.... -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 06:56
Card collectors...ever heard of TriStar Obak cards? Just got a 2010 box in to review. Just wondering if you've heard of them. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:44 5
- TriStar...yeah, they do baseball prospect cards much like Razor does. I haven't heard of Obak though so who knows. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 06:46 3
  - Well, this set does have autos of Heyward, Johnny Bench, Clemens, Ripken Jr. - Jim Aug 31, 06:52 2
    - Yeah, basically they'll ink anyone they can to legit deals and then get secondary cut signatures on the open market. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 06:52 1
      - The one that surprises me in that list is Pujols....unless he's opted out of the MLBPA agreement (like Bonds did for a few years) - Will Hunting Aug 31, 06:58

- NOISE! -- nm - TFox SI Aug 31, 06:39
- Ugh, I can hear those things, it would drive me nuts - Guigue Aug 31, 06:39 11
  - They must be VERY loud on the website. I fail all of those frequencies at the audiologist. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:48 7
    - sfek. but on the website I don't fail until 15k. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:49
    - I think some speakers/headphones just aren't able to reproduce that sound, and will create a lower sound -- nm - Guigue Aug 31, 06:49 5
      - that's possible. On my official hearing test I have 40 db loss at 11k. But I can hear it on their website. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:53 4
        
        actually 45. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:54 3

        jerk. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:00
  - That's the point. You should see this area at night. Kids everywhere running screaming and multiple fights every night. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 06:43 2
    - I'm 26, I don't think the point is to drive ME nuts -- nm - Guigue Aug 31, 06:45 1
      - He's an alien scout, sent ahead of the invasion! -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 06:48

- take it -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 31, 06:33
- no points and 40 bucks? that's crazy. Here that would be 4 points and close to a $300 fine probably -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:20 3
  - For a photo ticket? That's crazy. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:21 2
    - the 300 might be a bit high, but Jersey is crazy expensive - PA wold be close to $150 -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:23
    - it would be way more here too. i don't think they are allowed to give points, but the fines are high. - Andie Aug 31, 06:21
- fwiw, $40 ain't so bad for one of those. i've seen them a lot higher. -- nm - TFox Aug 31, 06:17 18
  - $50 in DC. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:28
  - Yeah I was relieved at that. Still, $40 is a nice dinner out or whatever. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:19 1
    - i get your point but... - TFox Aug 31, 06:29
  - They're $100 here. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:18 14
    - I was mildly surprised at the quality of the pictures. Not high-end digital camera, but quite clear whose car and plate it was. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:25 7
      - the damn speed cams are all over DC. It really has changed how I drive. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 06:30
      - Was she waiving ? -- nm - decline Aug 31, 06:26 1
        
        No you can't see the front. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:31
      - Hell...we get pictures and a video. So we get to see ourselves running the red light. - Jim Aug 31, 06:25 3
        
        How do they send the video? On disc? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:30 2
        
        We get the ticket in the mail and it has a link to the video. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:37 1
        
        www.youtube.com/MOdumbdrivers -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 06:38
    - Wait a minute...the red light tickets are $100. 41 in a 25 would be closer to $150 around here. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:22
    - yup, I got 2 $100 ones for rights on reds (not a no turn on red sign) - groiny Aug 31, 06:22 4
      - We have a red light camera that apparently loves to get people for that. - Kim Pine Aug 31, 06:27 1
        
        Ca-ching!! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 06:32
      - Not us. -- nm - California Aug 31, 06:23 1

- Cave: Stacy, Don Homer, Brian. Don't forget 1 hour rule strictly enforced going forward. -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 04:15 12
  - Not so fast stacy...Stewie selected one of TFox's keepers. So in true Caveman fashion, the draft is fucked up before the 1st round ends. -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 05:52 4
    - The Cavemen still suck at drafting...but not as bad as I thought. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 31, 06:08
