  - well, this one's more rooted in the Israel vs. Palestine camp, than the "All Muslims are terrorists" one... - znufrii Sep 2, 07:57
- Ya know...I'm really starting to think that all of Manhattan should be treated as hallowed ground and they probably shouldn't have any Muslims there - Jim Sep 2, 07:51 1

- Crazy idea: does your company have a Twitter account? Could it use one? -- nm - mara Sep 2, 07:37 7
  - i've thought about this. it would have to be someone who really knows the product - i don't. but i might put it out there. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 07:37 6
    - Also, a Facebook page. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 07:38 5
      - same thing. there's not much appeal to the general public. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 07:39 4
        
        customers might like it though, existing and potential -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:40 3
        
        true enough, but then it shouldn't be me. i handle money, not product. :( -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 07:41 2
        
        Research it in your spare time, write a proposal? Even if you then hand it off, it's something to do. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 07:43 1

Vamps...Is someone picking for walt or should i pick -- nm - Budice Sep 2, 07:29 6
- that pick is on hold, and Vamps should be patient. Callisto has the pick but it might be some time before she can get it posted. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:36 5

Every day brings a surprise here. I ask co-worker if she has addressed issues in an order I rejected and she says she is not sure she saw that - HdnAgnda Sep 2, 07:10 8
- priorities. she has priorities. -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 07:22
- Nobody likes warm milk, man. - sycor Sep 2, 07:16 6
  - I love lattes which is warm milk and espresso :) -- nm - Stacy Sep 2, 07:18 5
    - that's different than just a glass of warm milk. I like hot mint tea but wouldn't drink hot water. -- nm - sycor Sep 2, 07:21
    - milk with honey and a pat of butter, nuked is yummy. Good for combatting sickness, especially with some garlic too. -- nm - zork Sep 2, 07:21 3
      - milk with garlic - dude you are so whack! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 2, 07:24 2
        
        It's not too different from, say, alfredo sauce, which has garlic infused in the cream -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 07:47
        
        Yeah. Explain this. What is garlic milk about? -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 2, 07:27
Golf tournaments starting on Friday are just weird. - Strongbad Sep 2, 07:07
I'm undecided on Listach's role in that brawl. He didn't seem to be throwing punches. - Ender Sep 2, 07:07 12
- It sure looks like he is attacking Volstad. But the major problem is Morgan - amoxy Sep 2, 07:44
- My two thoughts on that video: the batter, had he connected with the punch, wasn't holding back. And 2, they shouldn't be able to "clear the benches" - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:15 7
  - I love when the pitchers, especially the bullpen, get involved... - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:30 3
    - *rolls Zimmer to the ground* -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:37 1
      - that still makes me cringe. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:41
    - bah, like the bullpen pitchers get there in time to actually throw a punch... -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 07:31
  - in hockey you have the same number of players from each team on the ice, so generally speaking it's a fair fight. -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 07:17
  - The benches empty cuz it's a fair fight then. Remember 9 fielders vs at most 7 opponents - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:15 1
    - But two of the opponents have bats! - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:19
- By the way...I know it's early and stuff, but it's over. Congrats on the division title. -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 07:08 2
  - :) It was quite the collapse. -- nm - Ender Sep 2, 07:39 1
    - Was???? This shit's still going on, dude. 2-8 against the bungholes of the NL. Embarrassing. -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 07:42
*throws behind B2* -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 07:02
repost: Astros: crash, nubby, Reagen. Cavemen: amoxy, Stewie (x2), Amoxy. Vamps: Walt Disney (x2), budice, strongbad. -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 07:01 1
- Only 54 more picks and all 3 drafts will be complete. I think we can do it!!! -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 07:07
Will, you can use the XBox to stream Amazon video on demand as well. -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:00 8
- When you buy these, where is the media stored? - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:07 6
  - I believe it's a combination of streaming to devices as well as the option to download to PC or mobile -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 07:09 3
    - I don't think it's on but a few phones/mobile devices. Here's what it shows on Amazon: -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:11 2
      - (which is what you linked below.) -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:12
      - (I linked him below also) -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 07:12
  - Amazon, and you can download to your computer (from anywhere, I believe). - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:09 1
    - Yup. Just verified. As long as you download the Unbox player onto the PC you're on. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 2, 07:10
- I don't know that I'll ever understand the desire to get locked into the Apple only solutions -- nm - oblique Sep 2, 07:04

- I think it is more "stupid idea" than an unwritten rule. - groiny Sep 2, 07:57
- Word. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:37
- I'm not a fan of bunting to break up a No Hitter... - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:33 13
  - if it is Juan Pierre up, who routinely bunts for singles, I have no issue with it. - groiny Sep 2, 08:00
  - If there are BB's on 1st and 2nd in a low-scoring game, I'm absolutely going to bunt, regardless of whether it's a no hitter -- nm - Strongbad Sep 2, 07:42 1
    - that I could see. - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:44
  - I'm conflicted. - znufrii Sep 2, 07:36 8
    - I'd really not have an issue with it if it's a guy who bunts.... - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:39 7
      - I dunno. If Big Papi bunted for a single to break up a no hitter, it'd be the hardest fought base hit ever. -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:40 6
        
        with the shift on, all he has to do it get it down third base line with some zip on it. - groiny Sep 2, 07:58
        
        Well, I'm sure if that ever happened, both the catcher and pitcher would need to be dead. - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:43
        
        Now I need to know...has he ever bunted successfully as a Red Sox? -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:42 3
        
        August 2005. -- (link) - TFox Sep 2, 07:44 2
        
        (there's so many great quotes in that article.) -- nm - TFox Sep 2, 07:47 1
        
        "He was running like he stole something." - Mel Profit Sep 2, 07:51
  - bunting is part of the game though -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:34
- Or if you are a decent catcher like me you throw them out when they try to steal :P -- nm - Stacy Sep 2, 07:06 3
  - *offers you a contract* -- nm - Boston Red Sox Sep 2, 07:07 2
    - my favorite is to have the ball while they try to steal home and just stand there blocking the plate like an ox and force them to try and knock you - Stacy Sep 2, 07:13 1
      - coincidentally, this is also Stacy's method of foreplay - zork Sep 2, 07:19
- But Morgan was losing 14-3 at the time....I really have never heard of this type of 'rule' - Will Hunting Sep 2, 07:05 2
  - the impression I got from the article... - znufrii Sep 2, 07:06 1
    - they plugged him in the back for him running over their catcher in the game prior -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 07:13
- *walks across your pitcher's mound* -- nm - znufrii Sep 2, 07:04
- I really would make friends in baseball would I. All these stupid little rules that aren't -- nm - Karl_S Sep 2, 07:02
- Another way...stop letting them get on base. -- nm - Jim Sep 2, 07:02
- I respect a team that chooses not to do it. I don't hold it against a team that chooses to do it. -- nm - mara Sep 2, 07:02
amoxy, stewie x2, amoxy -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 06:59
