- well that's not really up to him to decide. they could say "trick" -- nm - wererabbit Nov 1, 11:20

    - Everyone has a crazy uncle. -- nm - Loyola Nov 1, 11:16 3
      - Not me. - Spawn Nov 1, 11:27 1
        
        if you don't have one - chances you are the crazy uncle. - Epiphany Nov 1, 11:37
      - I think my " one" counts as two -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 11:25

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here, Mr. Anderson. It came to me when I tried to classify your species... - Agent nubby Nov 1, 11:01
Here's a hint about the COO candidate getting dropped, the majority of the country shares the reason he was dropped. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 10:59 26
- Answer inside - ceregon Nov 1, 11:13 19
  - I completely disagree with his point of view, but I disagree with the committee's choice. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 11:28
  - I may be wrong but I don't think the majority in this country believe in creationism. I really hope I'm not wrong. -- nm - Krusty Nov 1, 11:22 13
    - If creationism includes "evolution guided by God", then it's a vast majority. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 11:29 3
      - i don't think vast is correct (based on ceregon's link below). 58% vs 55% is not 'vast' - decline Nov 1, 11:33
      - "creationism" always makes me laugh when they don't simply go this route. - Mel Profit Nov 1, 11:31 1
        
        well, it depends what kind of creationism. Biblical literalists accept no evolution at all. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 11:32
    - [deleted] 8
      - Here's a link -- (link) - ceregon Nov 1, 11:29 1
        
        I'm rather surprised by those numbers. I expected it to at least be close. -- nm - Krusty Nov 1, 11:35
      - Fair enough. I think a majority believe evolution over creationism. - Krusty Nov 1, 11:29 5
        
        To reach majority status, i think you need a subset like bachelor's degree or some level of education. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 11:33
        
        [deleted]
        
        According the poll, nearly twice as many people think evolution is "definitely false" than think creationism is "definitely false" -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 11:31 1
        
        *shakes head* So sad. -- nm - Krusty Nov 1, 11:32
        
        poll after poll disagrees with you. -- nm - saint loosilu Nov 1, 11:29
  - How did that even come up? -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 11:20 2
    - One of the "exercises" in consensus building was about a school board situation regarding evolution & creationism. -- nm - ceregon Nov 1, 11:22 1
      - I am so glad you brought this to our attention so I will know how to answer this question -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 11:26

- white? -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 11:12
- they park on their lawn -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 11:03

I make a lot of jokes about the apocalypse, but if Oakland beats KC this weekend and takes control of the AFC West race... -- nm - David Nov 1, 10:54 5
- How the hell is it possible that Jason Campbell, king of the TE checkdown....hasn't made Zach Miller a 1000 yard reciever yet. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 10:55 1
  - If the season ended today, New England would only get the #14 pick from Oakland for that deal in 2009. - David Nov 1, 10:58
- I hate this season. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 10:54 2
  - It was over when Elvis went down. -- nm - David Nov 1, 10:56 1
    - When it happened, this was my fear. I hate that I was right. -- nm - Jim Nov 1, 11:09
i went to see Ghostbusters too. i can't believe con carne ducked me -- nm - wererabbit Nov 1, 10:53 6
- con carne is smart -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 11:34
- If you saw a tall dude walk in alone at one minute till show time, and then loudly ask if a seat on the far right is taken - con_carne Nov 1, 11:06
- I didn't think it held up well when I watched it recently -- nm - oblique Nov 1, 10:56 3
  - the audience loved every minute - wererabbit Nov 1, 10:58 2
    - Yeah, they did. I liked the big round of applause for Stay Puff. - con_carne Nov 1, 11:03 1
      - although calling that a 70mm print seemed stretchy - wererabbit Nov 1, 11:14
Amazingly enough this guy's going to lose Ohio's senate race by almost 20 points tomorrow. -- (link) - Ender Nov 1, 10:53 [youtube] 5
- [deleted] 4
  - The wannabe 24 episode/ terrorist commercial was insane last week -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 10:59
  - I can imagine the staffer conversation. "Hmmm, we're already down 20 points, maybe if we equate him to Lebron that'll make him more popular in Ohio!" -- nm - Ender Nov 1, 10:56 2
    - But didn't he dunk over Lebron? - Stephen Nov 1, 11:04 1
      - ...In a commercial where he's playing the Lebron part the entire time... -- nm - Ender Nov 1, 11:12
And so, once again, 3 FF matchups come down to tonight's game... - Stephen Nov 1, 10:51 17
- RC and I are going to have an *epic* battle. - Spawn Nov 1, 11:09 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - No, but that will be my Blood Feud Championship repeat. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 11:14 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Blowing a computer: not for everyone. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 11:18

  - i'm showing this to shefox next time she rags me about 5 fbb leagues. -- nm - TFox Nov 1, 10:59 1
    - One FBB league is too much -- nm - oblique Nov 1, 11:01
  - I'm 1 & 0 for the 7th time out of 8 weeks this season. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 10:54 8
    - and with those words, my two Colts shall go off like rockets -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 10:55 7
      - And crash into each other, rendering both questionable for November. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 11:05 6
        
        I just don't know how you're happy with that victory seeming as how it was caused by the Redskins melting down to the Lions -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 11:06 5
        
        I did my part (to nubby), you need to take care of Will. - Spawn Nov 1, 11:10 2
        
        He had bye-week issues. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 1, 11:11 1
        
        Yeah, but it was also nice to see a bad D weekend (somehow) work in my favor. -- nm - Spawn Nov 1, 11:12
        
        Beucase I'm fully aware of how truly mediocre Washington is. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 11:10 1
        
        eh, though I lose this week, I still only need two victories in the last five games to make the playoffs - mediocrity is my annual goal -- nm - crash davis Nov 1, 11:16
LIR: Diva, after learning that lobster can live to 100, I'm having a hard time wanting to order it. - zork Nov 1, 10:48 14
