Birthday FMK: Alexis Bledel (29), Amy Poehler (39), Jennifer Tilly (52)? -- nm - nubby Sep 16, 07:04 9
- FMK --- she's good-looking, Amy would keep me laughing and Tilly love Phil Laak (she's broken inside). -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 07:10 1
  - ditto -- nm - JaxSean Sep 16, 07:17
- MKF -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:07
- Aw crap. That's tough. I'd have to say FKM -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 07:05 5
  - this -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 07:07 4
    - no, not this. MKF. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 07:10 3
      - this -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 16, 07:19
      - heh, I can't emember the last time we disagreed on one of these, glad yous witched -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:18 1
        
        I'm not Eiffel Towering Jennifer Tilly with you. -- nm - TFox Sep 16, 07:19
Today's woot is a 4GB Zune for $69.99 -- nm - oblique Sep 16, 07:03
Torontonians and TIFFers - not sure where we stand on meeting tonight, but i'm out. - Andie Sep 16, 06:53 3
- boo! -- nm - Roger More Sep 16, 06:54 2
  - boo indeed. -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 07:01 1
    - Oh well. I'll pick a venue and send out an email around lunchtime. -- nm - Roger More Sep 16, 07:04
"He told me to go to first base. I'm not going to tell him I'm not going to first, you know." - nubby Sep 16, 06:51 23
- This type of thing happens about 5 times a week. His only mistake was admitting it on TV. -- nm - Ender Sep 16, 07:18 1
  - unless it was obvious on the broadcast, in which case it would go much worse for him to deny it... -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 07:21
- Did it effect the outcome of the game? -- nm - amoxy Sep 16, 06:59 2
  - in the end, no, but at the time, it helped put the Yankees ahead...who knows how it changed the course of the game.... -- nm - znufrii Sep 16, 07:02
  - The Rays' manager got ejected because of it, so maybe. -- nm - nubby Sep 16, 07:00
- Yup, if he says "it didn;t hit me" he becomes an icon for good sportsmanship. Now he's just another scumbag -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 06:52 17
  - Don't hate the playa.. - znufrii Sep 16, 06:57
  - It's not his job to get the calls right. Blame the ump. - Will Hunting Sep 16, 06:54 13
    - a bang/bang play that a player might not even see is different than acting like you were hit by a pitch when you weren't/ -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:02 10
      - [deleted] 7
        
        Exactly. You play the game to win; the umps make sure it's called properly - Will Hunting Sep 16, 07:09
        
        I would have the same opinion regardless of who it was... -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:08 5
        
        That's good because I'm pretty sure there's not 1 player in MLB that would have told the ump that the ball didn't hit him. -- nm - Jim Sep 16, 07:11 1
        
        Hell, a kid didn't even tell an ump he was out (by a lot) for a perfect game. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 16, 07:15
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I was more interested in the difference in reactions, like I said if it had been ARod he would be getting murdered by the media, my opinion anyway -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:17
        
        *shrug* I put sportsmanship above winning. -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 07:08
      - [deleted]
      - yes. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 07:04
    - The bottom line is: what's more important, winning or fairness? - nubby Sep 16, 07:01
    - Word. This whole thing is ridiculous. He did what any other player in the game would have done. - Jim Sep 16, 07:01
  - win at all costs douche rather than scumbag (a tad harsh) -- nm - Beaker Sep 16, 06:53
  - [deleted]

- A few months back, Ceregon's real estate agent had a few diatribes against renters that made them seem sub-human. - Will Hunting Sep 16, 05:25 10
  - My realtor is a really nice guy, but he uses this really evil loan agent and she will just go on these rants. -- nm - ceregon Sep 16, 06:19
  - Yep. Here's the start of it, I believe. It devolved into "f#cking renters" from here. -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 16, 05:57 [Backboard] 2

        [deleted] 1

    - The establishment backed the moderate candidate because they wanted the Seat. - Strongbad Sep 16, 06:24

      - more crazy talk -- (link) - decline Sep 16, 06:23 2

  - Who it really sucks for are those looking to relocate or move to improve their job search possibilities -- nm - decline Sep 16, 06:16 2
    - *ding* -- nm - Strongbad Sep 16, 06:29
    - No doubt there. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 16, 06:26
