Remember that Arkansas School Board Member and his crazy facebook anti-gay rant? "He will resign over remarks" -- (link) - MDH Oct 29, 09:03 6
- and an actual apology, too. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 09:04 4
  - And when straight up asked "Do you want gay people to die?" He stutters which is enough to show his true feelings. -- nm - MDH Oct 29, 09:08 1
    - The original vitriol was real, so I'm not surprised. - ty97 Oct 29, 09:09
  - He clearly doesn't care about gays though, he's sad he got caught. - MDH Oct 29, 09:07 1
    - well, it would be expecting a bit much to think he'd admit that his views are wrong - znufrii Oct 29, 09:10
- Fox News Hires Ex School Board Member For $2 Million -- nm - next week Oct 29, 09:04
Ryan North (of Dinosaur Comics) and Glenn Beck both released books on Oct 26 - Ryan North won. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:02
I think Derek Holland just walked another Giant. (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:00 2
- yeah, that was painful to watch. - znufrii Oct 29, 09:01 1
  - You're a Giant fan too? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:07
Not the Onion: Justin Bieber To Debut Music Video During World Series -- (link) - MDH Oct 29, 08:55
Ok kids, what's my lock? KC at home against Buffalo? Rams at home against Carolina? Jets at home vs Green Bay? - Jim Oct 29, 08:52 10
- It's me or one other guy for $120 in mine. And I agree, it's a nasty week. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 08:56
- I'm just playing for fun, and I've got the same three choices. I shudder too, but I'm trusting my fate to KC. -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 08:55
- [deleted] 6
  - He is probably like me and has used NE earlier in the year. I can't reuse teams. -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 08:56 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - Uh, he gave you his choices. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:05 3

I am dying from alcohol poisoning. I'm never going drinking again until tomorrow. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 08:46 7
- You sound like my buddy last week. "I'm not drinking again for a long time" That lasted 2 days. -- nm - sycor Oct 29, 08:49
- hair of the dog, my friend, hair of the dog. -- nm - decline Oct 29, 08:48 5
  - Some high fat food like pizza usually does the trick for me -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 08:52 3
    - yup, the salt and fat helps your body retain more water to combat the dehydration that causes a hangover. - znufrii Oct 29, 08:56
    - coffee, 2 advil and a sausage egg and cheese worked for me this morning -- nm - decline Oct 29, 08:54 1
      - Decline, you old dog, you. - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 08:55
  - The hair of the dog last night ended up being another session. I'm not falling for that one again. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 08:49
LYC: never heard back from my hosting service. Finally found a working phone number with google-fu and they said their system has been down. - sycor Oct 29, 08:43
boston.com Love Letters - Should I tell my Ex that I'm remarrying? - Diva Oct 29, 08:27 63
- I felt like I would be a coward not to tell my ex. This woman frankly doesn't come across well in this email. - David Oct 29, 09:12
- Tell him. - !qnsnw Oct 29, 08:55
- I say it's none of his business. He can find out like everyone else...when she updates her Facebook status to "Married." - Jim Oct 29, 08:53 1
  - That's what I'm thinking. Why bother telling him when they're not on friendly terms. Telling him only makes him feel that she's beholden to him in - Loyola Oct 29, 08:57
- (also, please update us on this new marriage in seven years) -- nm - Max Oct 29, 08:43
- Don't bother telling him. -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 08:41
- (the house incident was just as likely a turf issue as a relationship issue) - Max Oct 29, 08:40 5
  - I'm only believing about half of what she's saying about him in the first place. -- nm - Ender Oct 29, 08:43 3
    - seriously. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 09:07
    - Yeah. I assume that just about every letter to meredith is colored to make the writer look better. (nm) - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:03 1
      - exactly, and you know she whored herself out to end the marriage -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 29, 09:10
  - Prime noctis! -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:42
- seems to me, she hasn't fully moved on and is a bitter self centered bitch herself. Why does she even give a shit about what her ex finds out anyway? - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 29, 08:37 8
  - Really? -- nm - Andie Oct 29, 08:40 7
    - his schtick, I think. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:44 2
      - but I didn't even say she was a slut whore yet -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 29, 08:47 1
        
        the day is still young, my friend. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:47
    - let me clarify, heh. The ex seems like an a-hole. She seems like an a-hole (little jabs she takes in the e-mail), and the new bf seems like an a-hole. - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 29, 08:44 3
      - How does the new bf seem like an asshole? -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 08:47 2
        
        it's just a vibe I'm getting. I have no clue :) -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 29, 08:49 1
        
        ;) -- nm - Loyola Oct 29, 08:50
- Just update your facebook status. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 08:37
- I take it they're not Facebook friends then? :) -- nm - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:36 1
  - 'tis how I found out my ex got remarried. - decline Oct 29, 08:36
- He might appreciate knowing that he can stop making the alimony payments. -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 08:35
- I vote not to tell him -- nm - Epiphany Oct 29, 08:34 6
  - Even though he'll find out from others eventually anyway? -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:51 4
    - Sure, it's not his concern and if she's being honest here, he'll handle it wrong anyhow. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 08:57 3
      - Just seems like a common courtesy to me. His reaction to the news is his business. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 09:01 2
        
        He lost that courtesy when he handled the fact she had a boyfriend poorly. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:07
        
        *ding* - !qnsnw Oct 29, 09:04
  - Yeah, kinda surprised so many are saying the opposite. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:37
- why bother telling him? sounds like she has no communication with him so what's the point? -- nm - decline Oct 29, 08:32 1
  - I think if she wants to take the high road it's better for him to hear it from her than from the grapevine. - Diva Oct 29, 08:43
- Yeah, tell him. He's going to hear anyway. Just send him an email (after the fact) and say, "I'm just letting people know, blah blah blah." - Andie Oct 29, 08:32 1
  - this -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:45
- Tell him. -- nm - pmb Oct 29, 08:31
- He'll appreciate hearing it directly, I think. A mailed announcement would probably suffice, though. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:30 20
  - You really think he will? Reread. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:32 19
    - comes off to me that he was more pissed about not being told about the bf, than her having one in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:34 18
      - Uh, that is what he wants her to think, but no. This guy is going to be pissed, regardless. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:37 2
        
        Maybe, probably or even certainly. How he reacts to stuff is no longer her concern. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 08:47
        
        Then that reflects all the more poorly on him. - znufrii Oct 29, 08:44
      - again, what possible business of his is it that she has a bf 6 years after the divorce?! -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 08:35 14
        
        actually it was two years. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 09:08
        
        I just think it's disrespectful not to tell him. They have mutual friends and they were married at one point. Even with everything, they still seem - pmb Oct 29, 08:37 12
        
        This guys seems to have lost the right to such respect. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:41 11
        
        but she can still take the high road. if he doesn't care, then, no harm done. and if does, then he can't say he found out in an awkward way. - Andie Oct 29, 08:43 10
        
        I agree whole heartedly with Andie. - !qnsnw Oct 29, 08:51
        
        There is no high road, here. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:50 5
        
        yeah, taking the high road to avoid drama for yourself from someone you don't respect or care about really isn't the high road. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 08:56 4
        
        But rubbing it in his face is not, either. What would Jim Kirk do? -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:06 3
        
        go to another planet and f*ck some blue alien bitch with 3 boobs. - Diva Oct 29, 09:08
        
        it's not "rubbing it in his face" to let him know in the same manner she tells everyone else. - znufrii Oct 29, 09:08 1
        
        But to *him* it will be. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:14
        
        honestly, unless the guy is still hung up on her or something he won't be embarassed and will most likely find it silly - decline Oct 29, 08:48 1
        
        She should tell him via invite to be her Man of Honor. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 08:49
        
        Exactly. And I gues I don't see the guy as quite the a-hole that others do. It is possible that what pissed him off so much was that in a - pmb Oct 29, 08:47
- no -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:30
- why bother telling him at all? You're divorced, move on and all that jazz -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 08:29 3
  - and how dumb is the boyfriend. "you suck at your job...oh yeah don't tell the old hubby that I was here crapping on your work, thanks" -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 08:32 2
    - yeah, bf comes across as a bit of a d-bag there. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 08:46
    - I am thinking that did not go down *quite* the way she told it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:33
today's Halo Reach challenges - some good money on the last one - crash davis Oct 29, 08:27 5
- Err, is there an easy way to do that? -- nm - David Oct 29, 09:13
- Nice, but yesterday's was better: There is Only One Spawn! -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:34 3
  - we should have challenges named after all of us - i.e. The Crash-ing - crash davis Oct 29, 08:38 2
    - The Groin-ing. - Spawn Oct 29, 08:39 1
      - Will you be Hunting? - crash davis Oct 29, 08:43

  - AP reports no explosives were found on the Birmingham plane. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 29, 08:51 1
    - interesting, CNN also reports no explosives were detected, but still refers to it as a "bomb" in the headline -- (link) - znufrii Oct 29, 08:59
  - and someone is still taking pot-shots at Marine buildings -- (link) - decline Oct 29, 08:38
Send your name to Mars! Send your name to Mars! Send your name to Mars -- (link) - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:15 1
- But will my name be coming back? -- nm - Ender Oct 29, 08:18

4SQ: Unlock Halloween badges this weekend -- (link) - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:12
Now that AT&T is able to sell the iPad to their business/enterprise accounts. Rumor is that our former rep (this guy is so awesome and he's not even - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:08 1
- Nice. Think about getting the Etch-A-Sketch style iPad carrier. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 29, 08:11
If there is one word that I always have to double check when writing or typing it, it is hors d'oeuvres. Just can't get my brain to know that one. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 29, 08:07 2
- i've never been able to learn that one, or nietzsche. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 08:12 1
  - I had trouble with it too, until I realized I can just think of it as taking the word oeuvre and adding letters and an apostrophe to it -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 08:28
Fortune magazine goes out there and says they've confirmed Verizon iPhone for early 2011 -- (link) - kilbooooo Oct 29, 07:59 3
- The irony of this is that I think the only people still clamoring for the iPhone on Verizon are people who already have an iPhone. -- nm - Ender Oct 29, 08:11 1
  - I think the rumors of Apple moving towards unlocked phones is much more interesting. They have the balls to do what Google didn't - kilbooooo Oct 29, 08:13
- "The answer to many consumers' prayers?" Stay. Off. My network. Crazy. Addicted. iPhone users. Kthx. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 08:05
sitmop: NY Post (ick) reports that lead of Spider-Man musical has broken both wrists in a failed stunt. - Diva Oct 29, 07:55 2
- obviously, he cannot stick to walls like the real Spidey :)) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 29, 09:05
- 'lead' just may mean 'starring in' as the Lead Lead is that guy from that band. -- nm - Diva Oct 29, 07:58
Here's my question about home prices/the housing market: If you're going to buy a house, you have to be pretty sure you're going to be employed - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 07:52 4
- Well you could rent it out after you move somewhere else. When I was in the military, lots of officers bought knowing they would transfer in 2 years - ceregon Oct 29, 08:48 1
  - in some areas (like DC) you lose money by renting it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 29, 09:04
- I understand what you're saying. Used to be you could buy a house and not take a loss if you sold/moved in two or three years. We had 4 houses - MonsterMeg Oct 29, 08:36
- i'm not that sure that a lot of that globalization impact has actually been assimilated, personally....nm - x Oct 29, 08:13
bankers, a week and a half ago: "Deal is dead" bankers, today: "Deal is launching on Monday, my bad." -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 07:49 1
- how do you know when a banker isn't telling the truth?....nm - x Oct 29, 08:10
Trent Reznor's new project, "How to Destroy Angels" isn't bad... - Mel Profit Oct 29, 07:45 5
- I have avoided it, but might give it a chance. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 08:02 1
  - It's not revolutionary but it's a Reznor fix until he comes to his senses. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 29, 08:04
- I haven't given it much of a chance. It's too mellow for me. - BloodyAxeSean Oct 29, 07:51 2
  - Including With Teeth? I liked that one a lot, but admittedly it took a few listens to grow on me. -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 29, 08:57
  - It's definitely the "A Perfect Circle" version of NIN... - Mel Profit Oct 29, 07:55
I hope I retain my sense of humour with my political opponents like this someday. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 07:45 4

  - Of course, blaming the opponents for these attacks is the same as blaming Rand Paul for foot stomping. -- nm - Dan-o'-lantern Oct 29, 07:52 2

- Yeah we were headed towards Odyssey until we came across the Mazda 5. But you have to go minivan with three rugrats. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 29, 07:45
