Apparently my roommates have had bets for *months* whether the Dutch and I would hook up. I almost feel like I owe it to them now. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 07:50 12
- [deleted] 6
  - we've only had 1 drunk makeout session. at one point, we were seriously turning into the Jersey Shore house. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 07:56 5
    - I can only assume it wasn't what you'd hoped it would be. - Jim Dec 10, 08:02 3
      - au contraire, which is the problem. I think it hasn't happened again because we're both excessive conflict avoiders. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 10, 08:05 1
        
        Life is too short. Go for it and don't be afraid of what *might* happen. -- nm - lileve Dec 10, 08:07
      - bah, that's when you abandon the makeout crap and start fondling goodies -- nm - CQ Dec 10, 08:03
    - If you're not going to live together much longer have fun with each other then. -- nm - lileve Dec 10, 08:00
- Do what is right for you and not them. -- nm - lileve Dec 10, 07:51 4
  - screw that (and him) do what's write for the Hotkiss Show. - Mel Profit Dec 10, 07:53 3
    - It will definitely improve her ratings in the 18-49 male category. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 10, 07:57
    - write? - Mel Profit Dec 10, 07:54
    - this. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 07:53
Does anyone still use Digsby? - JaxSean Dec 10, 07:44 4
- I do and, apparently, you can do exactly this. I'm sticking with Digsby because of the Facebook and Twitter integration. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Dec 10, 08:46
- use pidgin -- nm - decline Dec 10, 07:48 1
  - OK I'm trying it. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 08:37
- I do. And yes, you can create groups, no problem -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 07:45
Strongbad, I really didn't want to waive Spiller, but there's no way he ends up a keeper for me, and I'm sure not starting him in the playoffs. - TFox Dec 10, 07:44 13
- (Speaking of, Vamps with bad WR depth should be thinking about trades with me now.) - TFox Dec 10, 07:51 2
  - It's going to be sad saying goodbye to one of Fitz-Megatron-Welker for me. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 10, 07:52
  - You know I'll always be looking for a deal come August. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 07:52

  - I at least got him as my 2nd pick later in the first round, so it didn't cripple my entire draft. But oh well. - TFox Dec 10, 07:48 8
    - Our draft went Mathews - Spiller --- choice between Arian Foster/Jahvid Best/Jammal Charles. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 08:15
    - You picked him about where I expected him to go - Strongbad Dec 10, 07:50 6
      - That was one of those draft timing issues, where his biggest window of opportunity shone right at the beginning of the drafts. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 07:52 5
        
        I badly misjudged how quickly the 1st-year RBs would go this past season. Fully expected that one of them would make my first pick in Round Two. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 07:54 4
        
        Ryan Matthews and Best were the only 2 I was interested in. I figured other teams would reach on the others before I was willing to pick em. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 10, 07:55 3
        
        Well, 1st-"break out year" guys. I had it Mathews, Greene going first, then one of Spiller, Best or Foster with that high 2nd-round pick. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 08:00 2
        
        I was WAY off on Foster. He wasn't even on my radar. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 10, 08:04 1
        
        Based on other drafts this year, I believe if we held the draft just one week sooner, I get him where I imagined. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 10, 08:08
amazon appears to have some of the various lego games for the wii/xbox/ps3 on sale today -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 10, 07:40

- The link emblazoned with "Dice-K 2.0" should be terrifying to anyone. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 07:43 12
  - Dice-K's problems here are as much his own stubbornness as it is lack of talent. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 08:14
  - [deleted] 9
    - Despite that, the track record ain't great, and the Yankees had their own "flash of brilliance then poof" experience from China not too long ago. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 07:49 8
      - He's from Taiwan. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 07:53 7

kilbo, interesting. dont need a new receiver right now though. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 10, 07:38 13
- I don't really either, but getting it essentially for $350 (because of the free iPod touch) is a steal -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 07:39 12
  - I want it but if I get it then I can't get an ipad. I want the ipad more. Hello April. -- nm - lileve Dec 10, 07:47 2
    - I *know* I'm going to buy one in the near future when I upgrade my HDTV. Pre-buying it is nice but I've also been waiting so that I don't buy too soon - oblique Dec 10, 07:48 1
      - though you have to do a firmware update on it for the 3d hdmi to work correctly, - tRuMaN Dec 10, 07:51
  - strange though that that model is not ipod/touch/phone compatible without buying an additional adapter - decline Dec 10, 07:43 1
    - it is. although I already have an AirPort express hooked up to the stereo so playing music to it isn't a big deal -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 07:45
  - well yeah, maybe, but what do you need the ipod for? - tRuMaN Dec 10, 07:41 5
    - It would certainly get used around our house, without a doubt - oblique Dec 10, 07:44 2
      - for me it's "sell on ebay." I have needed a new receiver for like a year. this is parfait for me. -- nm - amanda jones Dec 10, 08:13
      - well there you go. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 10, 07:50
    - just holding it allows you to feel like you're smarter than anyone else....nm - x Dec 10, 07:43 1
      - and I can use all the help I can get in that department :) -- nm - oblique Dec 10, 07:44
