who is this Seth dude on Top Chef Just Desserts - bugsy Oct 7, 11:23 12
- He's pretty fun, but the cast itself is too whiny. - Strongbad Oct 7, 11:26 1
  - that cast plus Padma would be too volatile - I honestly think there is a reason they use the nice judges -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:29
- i haven't seen last night's show, but did you not see the red hots meltdown?! -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:24 6
  - well no but i can see that. red hots have no place in any dessert -- nm - bugsy Oct 7, 11:26 2

  - right?? -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:29
  - Also a clue if you're a vendor or creditor: never do non-cash business with this person ever again. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:28
  - and one of the creditors listed is Neiman Marcus. Someone should be trying harder. -- nm - Diva Oct 7, 11:28

        Word. *spoils* - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:33

In other news, the fish in my 55 gallon are suddenly, and mysteriously, dying. - Stephen Oct 7, 11:08 5
- ahh, i'm sorry. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 11:19
- sorry, that really sucks -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:15
- "One of the fish in this tank is the killer." -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:12
- ick or something like that, maybe? sorry. :( -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:08 1
  - I've checked them all for ich, and haven't seen any signs. - Stephen Oct 7, 11:13
dang, Pee Wee's gotten *old* -- (link) - znufrii Oct 7, 11:04 6
- He's in his 50's I think. -- nm - lileve Oct 7, 11:07
- Meh. He still looks the same "in costume", even after all these years. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:05
- Uh, you realize how ling it has been since he debuted, right? -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:05 3
  - *Laurence Fishbourne* was in the original cast. 1986. - Andie Oct 7, 11:21 2
    - I know. Year I graduated! -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:22 1
      - elementary school? hehe -- nm - lileve Oct 7, 11:24
ML, loser league isn't going so well - my best placement was 70th on week 2, I was 157th wk 3, and 22nd on wk 4 -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:03 6

  - I know, I'm even mediocre at picking out people who suck -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:05 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - I do like that I picked up Hillis and Torain before they hit. - Spawn Oct 7, 11:11
      - the big problem is the team is locked for 1/2 a season, no roster changes - so I'm getting no bad love from Jason Campbell etc. -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:10
- er wk 4, I meant 222nd -- nm - crash davis Oct 7, 11:04
[deleted] 12
- As with laws against cell phone use and texting, I argue, can't you just bust someone for "reckless driving"? -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:07 10
  - when I was on a jury we had the option to find guilty simply based on behaving drunk (which we did). -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:10
  - Harder to enforce. "How was he driving recklessly?" "He had a BAC below the legal limit" -- nm - Roger More Oct 7, 11:09 1
    - one would imagine there would need to be cause to have pulled him over in the first place, independent of the police knowing his BAC... -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 11:12
  - [deleted] 6
    - I don't think the alcohol level is relevant. It's his actions. If he weaves, etc., then he's busted. If not, then no. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:11 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        he'd need to have cause to test for it, though. -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 11:15
        
        And I think the proposed law - like laws about cell phone use and texting - are garbage. It's the person's driving behavior which should be judged. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:13
    - ... it varies by person, but it's possible that the driver at .05 hasn't reached full saturation yet. There could yet be stuff in the tank. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:09 1
      - I'm semi-astonished that the BAC limit is 0.08. In Australia, which is a pretty hard-drinking country, only the Northern Territory (the hardest - Roger More Oct 7, 11:11
- Bleh. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 11:05
I link to this story about Lenny Dykstra only because he's such a comic - and tragic - figure. -- (link) - Mop (221 lbs) Oct 7, 11:03
Awesome. Just got reservations to attend a live Murkowski/Miller/McAdams debate. -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 7, 11:02

- I would wager somewhere around 20. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:04
- Isn't it like 23? -- nm - amoxy Oct 7, 11:03 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - Oh I was thinking the graphic they put up when the Bears were playing the Packers - amoxy Oct 7, 11:19 1
      - If you factor in starting QB changes, it skyrockets. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:19
    - IIRC, There were a few years there where is was either Orton or Grossman. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:08
- It feels like the Dolphins have had more, it's gotta be close. -- nm - Strongmop Oct 7, 11:02 2

The only explanation I can fathom for the "823 years" meme is perhaps that is how often both August and October have 5 Sundays. -- nm - not2fast Oct 7, 10:58 23
- that's a meme? -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:14 18
  - I have seen it posted several places and received at least 2 forwarded emails about it. Most of these were in August. -- nm - not2fast Oct 7, 11:23 1
    - I must surround myself with geniuses. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:27
  - If so it wins the reward for the fastest one ever. - Spawn Oct 7, 11:16
  - Sure. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 11:15 14
    - because it was posted one time? -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:17 13
      - The word"meme" generally doesn't refer to how often things get posted on ST, but on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 11:18 12
        
        yes, I have seen that one a lot this week. it's on snopes, I believe. -- nm - loosilu Oct 7, 11:20
        
        This is what's trending on Twitter right now? If I had invented that, I'd be so proud right now. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:19
        
        Yeah, like the huge TurbanGuy meme from earlier this week -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:18 9
        
        I think TFox (and I) are thinking "ST meme". -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:19 8
        
        I'm in awe that that many people are dumb enough to believe that shit could be true. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:20 6
        
        Things don't have to be true to be memes. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:24 2
        
        But (other than hopefully the originator) I'm guessing people aren't spreading it as a prank. They buy it. -- nm - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:25 1
        
        I don't think so. That's no how memes are usually propagated. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:29
        
        Well, ST tends to be smarter than other groups. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:21 2
        
        I guess. I just... *shudder*. I really didn't know til just now that thousands of people were spreading something that silly around. - FoxtoFail Oct 7, 11:22 1
        
        heh -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:23
        
        Let Me In Cold Blood -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:19
- Nope. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 10:59 3
  - So, any idea where it came from? -- nm - not2fast Oct 7, 11:02 2

me, writing an error message that should *never* occur: "Weirdness, man. Weirdness." - Beryllium Oct 7, 10:57 3
- A former cow orker of mine once came across one that said "It's Martini Time!" -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 10:57 2
  - L3 :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 11:03 1
    - she was not very amused at the time :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 11:06
So Connor had his first nightmare/terror last night. Woke up to his blood curdling scream; talk about disconcerting. - Stephen Oct 7, 10:56 5
- Yeah, they suck. Did he say anything about subject matter? -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 10:58 2
  - No, we asked him if anything had scared him, and he just kind of mumbled and clung to us. - Stephen Oct 7, 11:03 1
    - Yeah, so far all The Bub has menetioned was a piggy chasing him. - Spawn Oct 7, 11:06
- awww. -- nm - kare Oct 7, 10:57
- Obviously he dreams the future, and the dream was about you -- nm - Roger More Oct 7, 10:57

yard rant. about once a month someone has their dog crap in my yard, and do not clean up. today I put cactus pieces all around that area and a sign - peglegpete Oct 7, 10:54 16
- Hmm. After thinking about it, if I was a dog owner I might be tempted to fling the poop I cleaned up after my dog into your yard. -- nm - Spawn Oct 7, 11:27
- please just leave the sign and remove the cactuses. it's not the dog's fault. :( -- nm - kare Oct 7, 10:58 14
  - i'm tired of being nice. I know it's not right, for the dog but the owners will see it and hopefully go elsewhere -- nm - peglegpete Oct 7, 11:00 13
    - i'm glad it's so important to you to be a dick so that you can be sure to avoid turds in your precious yard every 30 days. -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:04 12
      - The day I track someone else's dog's shit through my house because they didn't clean up after it is the day I go something something. -- nm - Jim Oct 7, 11:09 10
        
        oh, it's rude and annoying when a person lets their dog shit in your yard and then doesn't pick it up. - kare Oct 7, 11:12 9
        
        Just like it'll be the owner's fault if the dog steps on pete's cacti. - Jim Oct 7, 11:13 8
        
        Seems pretty spiteful and dangerous. God forbid a little kid runs across the yard. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:17 6
        
        55 & over community. no kids allowed -- nm - peglegpete Oct 7, 11:20 5
        
        Grandchildren never visit, ever? Maybe another senior with less than good vision? (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:22 3
        
        the day I track crap into my house because some senior shat on my lawn is the day I move. -- nm - Max Oct 7, 11:23 2
        
        *laughing* -- nm - kare Oct 7, 11:26
        
        Don't move. Just scatter broken glass around your yard. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 11:26
