- But I feel it's well worth it, great personnel there. -- nm - budice Dec 14, 08:13
- No wonder they raise ticket prices by $5. - decline Dec 14, 08:08 5
  - That's....cheap? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 08:16 3
    - Compared to other big salary teams like the Yankees?, yep. -- nm - decline Dec 14, 08:18
    - nah, PNC Park is cheap. dugout box seats are $35, infield box is $27. - TFox Dec 14, 08:17 1
      - Right....Camden is cheap....SRO is like $8 and as Mel can attest, it's a nice location. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 14, 08:18
  - the sad part is, Fenway isn't *that* much more expensive than that... if it were possible to buy them from the box office. - TFox Dec 14, 08:15
Airplane meal preference: "child meal, kosher, halal,........ Japanese style?". What does that even mean? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 14, 08:02 6
- you get meals? -- nm - znufrii Dec 14, 08:17
- my favourite option is "bland." please, make my airplane food less palatable. -- nm - mafic Dec 14, 08:11 1
  - I think that's for spawn. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 08:16

- Japanese meals were offered when I flew to Guam. just looked like japanese food. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 08:03
They don't make guys named like Dickie Maigle anymore. - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:58
Assange granted bail. -- (link) - loosilu Dec 14, 07:52 10
- I imagine he'll have an easy time getting on a plane too, what with being at the centre of one of the biggest media events of the year. -- nm - mafic Dec 14, 07:59 5
  - there are other ways of traveling, flyboy. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 08:00 4
    - many, but not many of them get you back to australia from europe, and they pretty much all require passports at some point. -- nm - mafic Dec 14, 08:02 3
      - who says he would go there? they don't want him. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 08:02 2
        
        you don't think so? the official position has basically been silence, but he's got a former PM (and current foreign minister) on his side, - mafic Dec 14, 08:10 1
        
        just googled and I think you're right. but if I were him I'd go elsewhere. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 08:17
- serious question - znufrii Dec 14, 07:57 2
  - To show that he wasn't a threat to run (spoils) - Jim Dec 14, 08:01

I think one of my flatmates is trying to re-set me up with an ex. she keeps suspiciously pairing us at social functions. - mafic Dec 14, 07:45
wtf Japanese?: Maid Cafes are a tradition in Tokyo: instead of lapdances, you buy innocent displays of affection. How does it feel to pay for puppy - Hotkiss Dec 14, 07:43 1
- yeah that's been going for awhile now. -- nm - Remlik Dec 14, 07:59

- and now the rumor is that Blanton is not bringing his talents to Boston. - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:36 14
  - that's clever times triplicate. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 07:45 8
    - I must be missing it. What was the point? Are they suggesting that if the Red Sox hadn't show interest in Blanton, - Jim Dec 14, 07:48 7
      - If they had budgetary concerns about adding Lee's contract, knowing that they had suitors for salary relief on Blanton would up their gumption, yes. -- nm - TFox Dec 14, 07:49 6
        
        Comeon TFox...let's go play with our new Left Fielder and 1st Baseman. These guys don't like us. Diva will make us cookies when we're done. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:52
        
        But Blanton was available until Lee signed so really....it's a nothing story. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:50 4
        
        what does available mean? they can say someone's available, and if no one bites, then great, he was "available" but it gets them nothing. - TFox Dec 14, 07:53 2
        
        I meant, Wasn't Available. Lee agreed...then Blanton was out there. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:55 1
        
        but... duh. you don't trade him until the guy agrees to come take his place. - TFox Dec 14, 08:03
        
        Kinda what I'm thinking. Seems like Red Sox fans are trying to find a way to be part of the story here. nm -- nm - Jim Dec 14, 07:51

  - Your IM? Huh? - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:36 3

      - They'll get him gone somehow. - Will Hunting Dec 14, 07:38 1
        
        absolutely but if Theo got the market jump started that's a great little detail to the story. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 14, 07:42

        this board is really taking an amazingly long time to roll. -- nm - loosilu Dec 14, 07:24 4
        
        It's like ST is just milking TFox for every last drop of funny -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 14, 07:25 3
