- I really want BSU-TCU with a 1-loss South Carolina knocked out - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:39 3
  - and then South Carolina gets humiliated in a secondary BCS bowl by the Pac-10 representative? I like the way you think :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:42 2
    - The entire state (SC) would go up in flames. Their fans would be so ticked. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:43 1
      - so it's win-win, is what you're saying. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:57
- I'd take the Guy Fleegman approach and would just be jazzed to be there. Take whatever opponent they give you. -- nm - TWuG Oct 14, 11:38 2
  - "Maybe you're the plucky comic relief." -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:40 1
    - Plucky? - TWuG Oct 14, 11:43
- At that level, anyone would be legitimacy.... - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:38 14
  - I like "for giggles" -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:42 2
    - Well, I think my top 7 at this point would go something like this..... - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:45 1
      - Sagarin has a fun Top 7 - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:48
  - well, except to the SEC. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 14, 11:40 10
    - In theory, the SEC can't realllllly complain too much. Alabama's last loss was to Utah who handled them 2 years ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:42 9
      - no, i meant they wouldnt be legit to the sec yet. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 14, 11:43 8
        
        Well there are always going to be the hard-heads. I mean some haven't yet accepted Tennessee losing to LSU yet -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:47 7
        
        To be fair to those people, would you want to come to grips with the fact you threw under Les Miles in end of game strategy? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:49 6
        
        evidently there was some question about the number of players on the field -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:53 5
        
        I still don't get why a player on the field didn't realize he had 12 other guys with him - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:57 3
        
        You give Tennesseans way too much credit in being able to count to 11. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:58 2
        
        First off, I'm getting tired of this same joke being made. Thirdly, we are proud of our football team's resiliance. (nm) - Tennesseean Oct 14, 12:01 1
        
        *sits back and lights up another cigar* -- nm - Phil Fulmer Oct 14, 12:05
        
        I don't know how easy it is to accept his excuse that he counted the right number off on his toes and can't account for the other 2 players. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:54
Craziest thing I ever did? Went to church services. - TWuG Oct 14, 11:34 11

  - And that's a bad thing? :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 12:07 1
    - longest. concert. EVER> -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 12:08
- I went as a wingman to an evangelical service once. I can be a very good friend at times -- nm - crash davis Oct 14, 11:40
- and, depending on the religion, means your IM could be less likely than you thought... -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 11:36
- Ooh, I did that a couple times. Full Catholic mass and everything. - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:35 5
  - every Sunday until I was 18. EVERY SUNDAY! -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 11:38 1
    - so did I, but I had NO intention of picking up a dude there. - loosilu Oct 14, 11:40
  - Plus, there's food! -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 11:36 2
    - uh, a little wafer of paper, sure. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:39 1
      - Yes, that was my joke. :) -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 11:45
LIR: And now my earworm is - con_carne Oct 14, 11:34
Really it boils down to "Is it more fun to watch football games between the top teams, or to just imagine them?" -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:31 4
- Top teams didn't play each other before the BCS? - musubi Oct 14, 11:34 3
  - they play each other about as much. - Reagen Oct 14, 11:35 2
    - I figured, I just wasn't getting what was being "boiled down". (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:37 1
      - the argument of BCS vs tournament. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:39
I'm horrible at wanting things (for Christmas, etc.) - znufrii Oct 14, 11:31 4
- Me too - I'm trying to get rid of stuff rather than adding to it. Pretty much limits me to consumables. - MojaveMeg Oct 14, 11:41
- all i really want is new clothes. but i don't want anyone else to pick them out. soooo....... -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 11:33 2
  - cash! -- nm - CQ Oct 14, 11:38 1
    - i would love cash, but i would hate to give cash (except at weddings), so i don't expect it, ever. -- nm - Andie Oct 14, 11:38
Paris apartment had sat unoccupied for 70 years - $2.1 million painting inside -- (link) - Reagen Oct 14, 11:29 6
- How can Mickey Mouse and Porky Pig be in there if it sat untouched since 1900? - JaxSean Oct 14, 11:34 4
  - That's what you call a "simile". -- nm - Ender Oct 14, 11:37 1
    - is that like a metaphor or something? :) - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:39
  - spoils - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:35 1
    - Ahh, ok. Glossed over the "granddaughter" part, I think. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 14, 11:36
- I'm almost more interested in who was making the payments all that time. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 11:32
and "ended badly" addresses yesterday's point. why be fake? like, I like danzig, but I am not a blaring music outside girl. - chromanda Oct 14, 11:29 36
- Every time Trish tells me to go to a baseball game to find a guy, this is my answer. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:41 18
  - You don't have to be a baseball fan to go to a baseball game. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:43 17
    - True. For instance, I'm a sex-in-the-stands fan. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 11:44 1
      - So you're one of those bastards who loves the Wave. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:57
    - that's not the point at all. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:44 14
      - *shrug* It just seems to me that people equate compatibility with similarity. And I think that's wrong. - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:46 13
        
        I have been dragged to many a game. that is also not the point. The point is, I can meet generic "guys" anywhere. - loosilu Oct 14, 11:48 12
        
        and your current efficiency is...? -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:58 2
        
        currently I am actively not looking. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:58 1
        
        Oh, OK, I'll stop wasting my breath then. Move along. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:59
        
        But I just said that it's a fallacy to equate similarity with compatibility -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:54 6
        
        I don't know what compatibility is for me. (truth). Similarity at least gives something to talk about besides the weather. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:55 5
        
        I get that it's a comfort zone thing. But the strategy should be to get them to talk, and for you to listen. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:57 1
        
        no, that IS my comfort zone. I want something else. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:58
        
        Doesn't the baseball game thing usually come up when you're complaining about not knowing where to find men? - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:56 2
        
        I can and do meet generic men at all of those places. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:57 1
        
        What I need (if I were looking) is a filter. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 12:01
        
        There are drinks there, fresh air, better lighting than a bar, ample time for conversation... -- nm - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:51 1
        
        also true at multiple other places. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:51
- Think of it as sprucing up your resume. Once you're in the door, who you were before makes little difference. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 11:39
- Who's advocating being fake? (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:36 1
  - I don't think anyone is, really. - znufrii Oct 14, 11:45
- That's just living. If you hadn't tried it, you would have been left wondering "what if" -- nm - con_carne Oct 14, 11:35
- biology is a significant force when you're younger. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 11:35
- Not everyone is actually always sure of who they are. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:33 2
  - also, i think you have to try new things with people that suggest them because otherwise you never would do anything new. - Andie Oct 14, 11:36 1
    - "I hate your beard." (nm) - Cameron Oct 14, 11:40
- Eh, fun to date the stripper. Not to settle down with them. -- nm - Spawn Oct 14, 11:33
- Every relationship is a compromise, right? So 'marketing' yourself to meet someone is just a little pre-commitment adjustment to their lifestyle. - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:32 7
  - I don't think misrepresenting yourself to get a mate is the same as compromising in a relationship... -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 11:35 5
    - [shrug] Pretending to like my wife's spaghetti more than I actually do could be labelled 'misrepresentation', I suppose. - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:39 2
      - pretending to like your wife's spaghetti is not the type of thing that represents one's overall character so much, though. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 11:42 1
        
        Fair enough, but I don't think pretending to enjoy playing Danzig at a higher volume than usual is either. - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:47
    - [deleted] 1
      - I'm going to pretend this comment isn't pointed at me directly. :) - znufrii Oct 14, 11:38

all I want for christmas is a new job! -- nm - chromanda Oct 14, 11:27 1
