    - badly. - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:31 2
      - don't go off on a tangent. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:32 1
        
        You're so obtuse -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:32
- oh yes, and units are feet. the 6080 is for converting to nautical miles. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:29
T-shirt taken off the shelves in Florida............ - CrankYanker Sep 14, 13:28 1
- they need the shelf space for wife-beaters? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:33
Apparently, my first shelter is 2.2 million miles away from my first impacted county. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:22 7
- "I think we're going to need to stop for gas...." -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 13:32
- Sure, you just need to circle the globe 88 times to get there. -- nm - Ender Sep 14, 13:32 1
  - Oh, I thought you wanted the scenic route. -- nm - Dr.Vermin with the meter on Sep 14, 13:33
- "In case of nuclear attack, take shelter on the moon." -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:30

- I read that as sheltie -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:25
- it is a very long state. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:24
"...I've never seen a female reporter dressed this way, respecting her is a must but enter our work environment the right way." (nm) - Chad Ochocinco Sep 14, 13:17 35
- And Clinton Portis weighs in . . . -- (link) - pmb Sep 14, 13:26
- [deleted] 33
  - The X103 Bikini team should totally be taken seriously when they drop by the studio. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 14, 13:30
  - That's not what he said. - musubi Sep 14, 13:26 8
    - I haven't really seen this story; what was she wearing? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 13:28
    - [deleted] 6
      - While I'm a huge fan of skin tight jeans and a cleavage exposing blouse, it's not quite the appropriate attire for a TV reporter. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:32
      - Jeans and a tank top are not what a reporter wears if she/he wants to be taken seriously. - Name Withheld by Request Sep 14, 13:30 4
        
        "From the New York Giants locker room, this is The Situation" -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:32
        
        regarding your IM, didn't geraldo do that once? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:30
        
        sheet top :) -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:30 1
        
        damnit, sheer -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:30
  - he said "respecting her is a must". -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:23 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - It's only at odds, if you're looking for it to be. The two messages aren't mutually exclusive. - musubi Sep 14, 13:29
      - if he felt disrespected by her dress, then he's calling for mutual respect. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:27
      - Because it's impossible to respect someone and suggest a wardrobe adjustment. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:25 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        depends on whether you read it as an explanation or justification of their actions. - znufrii Sep 14, 13:30
        
        You can't respect someone who makes an occasional error in judgement? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:28
  - Let me ask you this: Are male reporters allowed in women's locker rooms? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:22 14
    - [deleted] 11
      - I also can imagine a male sportswriter wearing something other than a suit, or at bare minimum, polo and jeans into a locker room. - Reagen Sep 14, 13:28 8
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        This is her. -- (link) - Spawn Sep 14, 13:35
        
        tank top = polo shirt? Do you know what a tank top is? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:31 1
        
        yes, I agree with you. There is no way that tank top equals polo shirt in terms of professionalism. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:33
        
        A tank top is not professional in a wide-assortment, if not a wide-majority of workplaces. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 14, 13:31 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        there are lots of ways someone can go with jeans. she went to a place not a lot of women do (or can) take jeans. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:34
        
        "I also can't" -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:29
      - what if it's the old spice guy and all he's wearing is a towel? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:26
      - assless chaps and a spiked cup? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:26
    - why would they want to be? - znufrii Sep 14, 13:23 1
      - wow, she's already snipped off your balls? -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:24
Listening to a podcast with Donald Glover (Troy on Community). Didn't know he was a writer on TDS and 30 Rock... - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:05 2
- I want a Troy rap album. I will find this now. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:21
- Knew the OM, not the IM, though. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 13:07
So the baby is fitting into clothes for six month olds ... and he's not two months yet -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:03 18
- At least buying them too big at that age you know they'll fit before long :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 14, 13:34
- I think baby clothes are reverse-vanity sized. Parents want to think their kids are big. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:23 1
  - big means healthy! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:32
- Baby clothes! -- nm - Elwood Blues Sep 14, 13:12
- it's hard at the beginning - newborns can be 4 pounds or 10 pounds. -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 13:11 1
  - my sister's twins wear two different sizes, apparently. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:24
- It depends in part on the brand. Sizing varies greatly with baby clothes. Drove me bonkers. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 13:10
- Lil' Vermin has consistently needed sizes bigger than her age. Needed 1-year clothes by 8 months, etc. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:10
- He might be a little bit big, but generally 3 month olds wear 6 month sizes. - Kim Pine Sep 14, 13:09 1
  - Yeah, we've noticed the sizing seems random. :) He measured 88th percentile for weight, I think, but we haven't checked lately. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:11
- I'm starting to believe that diaper sizes are about as reliable as Old Navy sizes. -- nm - Max Sep 14, 13:07 1
  - Depends only comes in S/M or L/XL. How hard is that for you to purchase? -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:09
- Hmm. Did not realize that groiny ever... met your wife. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 13:05
- future linebacker? -- nm - decline Sep 14, 13:04 3
  - this is what I've been thinking. Heh. They're fit athletes, right? :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:05 2
    - linebackers are big, muscular, and can move fast; defensive linemen are big and muscular; offensive linemen are muscular and fat -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:08 1
      - ah, so it was a complement. Augustus Cole style. Good. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:12
- *makes WiiFit sound* -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:04
Toronto area curlers! "Men With Brooms" needs you! -- (link) - Andie Sep 14, 12:52
TT baseball fan poll: Would you vote for Jim Thome for the HOF? Raffy Palmeiro? Todd Helton? (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 12:51 18
- Yes, Hell no (steroids), it's close. -- nm - David Sep 14, 12:58 4
  - So, if you found out that Edgar Martinez used 'roids, he's an absolute no for the HOF? - musubi Sep 14, 13:02 3
    - It would problematic and make his situation similar to Mark McGwire's for me. I'd have to look into the time frame he was juicing. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:18
    - It doesn't change my vote either way, but I find it almost impossible to believe he did not use them. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 13:05 1
      - Given that his OBPs in his first three MLB seasons were .397, .405 and .404, I kind of doubt it, but nothing shocks me any more. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:19
- Probably, probably not, no. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 12:54 3
  - Raffy could certainly join Edgar in the Hall of Above Average. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:55 2
    - Why would Edgar hang out with his inferiors? -- nm - David Sep 14, 12:59
    - Certainly. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 14, 12:55
- when did I become a professional sports/baseball writer? -- nm - peglegpete Sep 14, 12:54 5
  - I'd guess never, because you still haven't even mastered the difference between a TT poll and an official ballot. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 12:56 4
    - Well, for starters, there are no TT polls anymore. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:58 1
      - There are TT polls as long as I call them that. This place is TT to me. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:01
    - one day I will be able to read & comprehend the English language :( -- nm - peglegpete Sep 14, 12:57 1
      - I'm sure Edgar Martinez would encourage you reach for the stars and to never stop trying. - musubi Sep 14, 13:04
- Yes, No, No -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 12:53
- [deleted]
- Yes, No, No. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:52
NMD kilbo can you email me? got a few media player questions for you. - sycor Sep 14, 12:50
Toronto people, are we still planning a Thursday thing? - ty97 Sep 14, 12:47 7
- I haven't rec'd anything so I guess I'm not invited -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:09 4
  - it was a verbal thing at the last one. this is sort of the first "written" notice. -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 13:14 2
    - *sniff* so you guys don't hate me - zork Sep 14, 13:21 1
      - Of course we don't hate you. BTW, it's a costume event, so come as your favourite cartoon animal -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 13:34
  - No. It's kind of an exclusive thing for C-listers and up, so... *awkward pause* -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 13:12
- Works for me -- nm - Roger More Sep 14, 13:07
- i think i'm still good for Thursday... -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 12:52

warthog. with missiles. Hmmmmmm ....... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:42 10
- "Gruntpocalypse" made me laugh. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:49
- I am a bit irritated that I bought ODST and never played those maps in matchmaking. - groiny Sep 14, 12:44 7
  - I got to play a few of them in matchmaking. They were fine, but not worth the ODST purchase. - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:46 6
    - (I *thought* firefight would be fun, but it totally wasn't.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:47 5
      - I had fun with firefight. Ask groiny about what happened after truman told us not to run into the middle. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 12:47 4
        
        the best part of that, was the trademark truman sigh after I killed him. - groiny Sep 14, 12:53
        
        a top ten Halo moment for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:51
        
        I think it was that damn suppressed SMG. I hate the SMG normally, the last thing it needed was nerfing. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:49 1
        
        I kinda liked it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:54
- There is a lot of *fun* shit in this game. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:43
I sure hope my friend in France on business doesn't have any problems -- (link) - oblique Sep 14, 12:39 3
- (inappropriate under the circumstances, wtf cares): SQUEEEE! I'm gong to be there in 11 days! -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 12:46 1
  - Gee, I hope no bomb threats happen to the places you're going! -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 12:52
- My little bro is vacationing there now as well. -- nm - con_carne Sep 14, 12:41
Sexy, dirty Trish is my fave -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 12:37
PS: "and that was just my team" is hysterical. -- nm - David Sep 14, 12:37 4
- Agreed, but I was actually going to respond to the first one with something similar. - Spawn Sep 14, 12:40
- aww, just for that, I will not betray you later. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:38 2
  - instead you'll betray him right now? -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 12:40 1
    - it is a short window of opportunity. - groiny Sep 14, 12:41
Lexulous doesn't think that "picarded" is a word. -- nm - Dano Sep 14, 12:36 3
- Is "kirked" or "spocked" a word? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 12:38
- What does it say for "facepalm"? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:37 1
  - Don't be picarded. -- nm - Dano Sep 14, 12:37
I'm enjoying watching the various Vampirates gradually notice the Vampirates post. -- nm - David Sep 14, 12:36 6
- Heh. I knew I would take ribbing, but was offline from Thursday afternoon until about midnight on Sunday, so had to chance he'd play. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Sep 14, 13:45
- I'm looking forward to 16 weeks worth of jabs about my team name. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 14, 12:41 4
  - Which is? -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:59 1
    - You'd know this if you understood what this thread is about. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:17
  - At least you're not TFox. - David Sep 14, 12:47 1
    - He *is* a renter. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:18
*mumblemumblemumblegroinymumblemumblesnipemum blesorrymumbleshotgun tunnelmumblemumblejetpackmumble* -- nm - Spawn's Running Commentary Sep 14, 12:32 1
- I guess I should specify if it early enough that nobody is sleeping. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:55
"I drove into the red light again." nm -- nm - SPAWN Sep 14, 12:31 8
- I can't wait for you to see some of the (minor spoil) - Spawn Sep 14, 12:38 5
  - I would like to see them too, hopefully you did not drive me off the cliff first. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 12:38 4
    - So, are we doing campaigns tonight or just fighting? -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 12:39 3
      - I may just be complaining. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 12:41 1
