- Expect about 20% of what you have the cards valued at. - Remlik Aug 31, 13:57 2
  - See below. $100 is what they quoted us for "Near Mint". Just a question of whether the cards meet that -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 13:59
  - or 30 for store credit, right? - zork Aug 31, 13:58
- why aim so low? potentially you have $3,500,000 worth of pokemon cards - dogbert Aug 31, 13:52 1
  - Well, $100 is what they quoted us but that's sight unseen on the condition of the cards -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 13:56

        You won't regret it. I'll post it and you're on the clock. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 31, 13:41 4
        
        Does the traded pick reset the clock? If so, razzin frazzin (not that I know what I'm doing). -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 31, 13:53 2
        
        For future reference the clock does get reset. -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:58

  - Mel Gibson. (nm) - David Aug 31, 13:20 3
    - I thought he'd buried her 95% of the way and was in the process of finishing the job? - Will Hunting Aug 31, 13:21 2
      - Well, so did he, but it turns out (Surprise!) he was actually burying himself -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 13:22 1
        
        What a twist! -- nm - M Night Aug 31, 13:27
- The one on the front page with the woman having hair grow out of her shoulders is very good also -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 13:18
amoxy must have taken his ginko biloba pills today. -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 13:10 3
- In our 1v1 games maybe but in the other games - amoxy Aug 31, 13:19 1

- about the article, yeah. My mom has been after my my whole life trying to stir up passion for religion. - loosilu Aug 31, 13:49 3
  - I understand that some people's lives are enriched by deeper faith and belief, but the dismissiveness about - b. Aug 31, 13:54 2
    - and that's great for them. I envy them. But you cannot *create* that in me by nagging me and sending literature. - loosilu Aug 31, 13:57 1
      - I hear ya. - b. Aug 31, 14:02
- mmm...cake... -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:27
- or death. cake or death. -- nm - Max Aug 31, 13:12 1
  - The death is a lie! -- nm - Ender Aug 31, 13:17
- That's one of the things the Mormon Church does pretty well. Kids tend to have a pretty meaningful kind of faith. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 13:11
- Oddly, our pastor talked a little about this (not specific to teens) this weekend regarding how religion is often expressed as the add-on that gives - oblique Aug 31, 13:09
- That's pretty interesting. We're still debating whether or not to raise the kids with religion or not. - Dr.Vermin Aug 31, 13:08 11
  - can someone explain how/why the revealing of the santa claus lie doesn't taint future religious faith, - zeitgeist Aug 31, 13:35 9
    - The last time I thought about it, I could see how they could complement each other. - Dr.Vermin Aug 31, 13:57
    - Santa is not really *part* of the religion. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 13:46
    - Becuase Santa is a cover story for a real event; God is a belief in something that won't be proven/disproven. - Will Hunting Aug 31, 13:44
    - Not even for a second. My parents never told me he was a person. THey told me he was the "spirit of Christmas." - loosilu Aug 31, 13:42
    - When I found out there was no Santa Claus my first reaction wasn't; - Loyola Aug 31, 13:41 4
      - Police say a doctor apparently died trying to get into the home of the man she had been dating by sliding down the chimney. -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 31, 13:46 2
        
        the article doesn't make it sound like they were "dating", exactly. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:52
        
        She should have known that Santa greases himself up before he slides down chimneys. -- nm - Loyola Aug 31, 13:49
      - my reaction was more like "Oh, we were all just pretending." -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:43
  - my only regret in raising my kidlet - that I did not at least go to Sunday Services - Epiphany Aug 31, 13:25

    - One counter and then if no, I'll pick. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 31, 13:24 1
      - Give me a minute, I'm mulling it over. -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:32
FWIW, I always thought that "New Yorkers" meant residents of NYC. For instance, - mara Aug 31, 13:01 55
- I lived for a number of years in both NYC and Central NY, and I agree completely. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:32
- I grew up in Rochester, NY and totally agree with you. Upstaters will either say their town - decline Aug 31, 13:18 13
  - You way upstate people are way different from us downstate people, apparently. -- nm - ty97 Aug 31, 13:45
  - same here. grew up in Buffalo. We never referred to ourselves as 'New Yorkers'. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 13:23 11
    - also, at least in Central New York, no one said "upstate". -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:31
    - You might as well be Canadian living all the way up there. ;-) - Krusty Aug 31, 13:31 9
      - i've been colder places in the country. the biggest weather problem is the amount of snow. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 13:44 6
        
        *begins babbling in the corner...scratching the air as though trying to get out of some where* -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 31, 13:51 1
        
        you're displaying early symptoms of Cabin Fever. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 14:07
        
        gets way more snow than Toronto and it's south of here. -- nm - zork Aug 31, 13:45 3
        
        because snow is not strictly a function of north/south. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:45 2
        
        really? -- nm - zork Aug 31, 13:47 1
        
        pfft. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:48
      - Watertown is worse (though I think Buffalo gets more snow). -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:35

- I'm kind of amazed it even was a point on contention... -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:10 9
  - this is what happens when you plead with dawson to try harder -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 13:12 7

        you can just say that I'm right...it's okay, I won't let it go to my head... -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:23 1
        
        [deleted]
    - good point... -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:12 1
      - though it was fun to watch Spawn embarass himself trying to pile on... -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:13
  - on = of -- nm - znufrii Aug 31, 13:11
- don't make us get back into the linguistic differences of Albany v Utica again.... -- nm - prayformojo Aug 31, 13:06

  - Wait a minute, how many New Yawkers are there? -- nm - Buzz Aug 31, 13:19 1
    - Three, me, Znu and Dawson. IIRC, Syrdragon and someone else lives upstate. -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:29
  - We're an endangered species. - Krusty Aug 31, 13:07 15
    - You're tied with Knoxville! -- nm - David Aug 31, 13:07 14
      - For what, cost of living? -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:17 13
        
        Number of ST residents. -- nm - David Aug 31, 13:20 12
        
        What's the biggest ST city? Chicago? LA? DC? -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 13:29 10
        
        Probably Toronto, since DC folks are scattered around in DC, MD, and VA> -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:33 6
        
        The Toronto people are spread out too though - zork lives 60km from downtown TO for example -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 13:37 5
        
        and J lives slightly further than me. Also someone lives around St. Catherines (near Niagara Falls) - zork Aug 31, 13:57
        
        i'd say if we are counting 'metro areas', DC or Chicago must be Toronto. -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 13:38 3
        
        I think DC beats Chicago, but LA may beat both. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 13:39 1
        
        I would expect it would easily -- nm - zork Aug 31, 13:46
        
        "...must *beAT* toronto." (swore i typed that.) -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 13:39
        
        [deleted]
        
        Toronto might be. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 13:30 1
        
        I think it might depend where you draw the boundaries. If LA includes Orange country, I think it would come out ahead -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 13:35
        
        Ah, I'm slow. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:28
  - Nobody likes bedbugs. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 13:07 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - "Plenty"? Now that Twug left is there anybody but me? - Ender Aug 31, 13:12
- I generally think this as well - I think I associate it with stereotypes of NYCers - being rude, being in a hurry, New York accents etc -- nm - Roger More Aug 31, 13:04
- Learn form the government. Quoting the wikipedia may not be a good idea. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 13:03
- When I hear the term NYer I assume they mean someone from the five boroughs. -- nm - Krusty Aug 31, 13:02 2
  - yep. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 13:13
  - this -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 13:07
- Agreed. Same here. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 31, 13:02

- Do they have internet in Philadelphia? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 13:01 4
  - Do they have opera in Philadelphia? -- nm - Znu Aug 31, 13:01 2
    - they do - and actual sit down theaters too! -- nm - decline Aug 31, 13:19 1
      - but they call 'em 'thee-ay-ters'. -- nm - Diva Aug 31, 13:24

  - My dog would do that all the time. And what was better - amoxy Aug 31, 13:03
  - My cats ran like hell from it. - Spawn Aug 31, 13:02
- The Kurgan is eveil! -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 12:59
- The cat probably just licked it off, though. -- nm - mara Aug 31, 12:58 2
  - well, that would be the disgusting part. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 12:59 1
    - thanks for that, mara! -- nm - Max Aug 31, 13:00
