Didn't Cal used to have a great baseball team? I say used to cause it has been cut -- (link) - Beaker Feb 11, 10:45 4
- They can save 3 minor sports for 7-10 years....but can't save all 5 for 2-3 years? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:50 1
  - I'd if baseball wouldn't eat up almost all of the pledged funds by itself. I don't know about gymnastics, but baseball costs are pretty high. - musubi Feb 11, 10:54
- It was cut months ago, it just hasn't been granted a last minute reprieve like a couple other Cal sports. (nm) - musubi Feb 11, 10:47 1
  - right, but I assume there must have been some attempt to keep it around like the other 3 that were saved -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 10:48
Unsourced NPR reporter's claim: average age at marriage is 30 for men, 29 for women. - Max Feb 11, 10:44 3

- I believe the number is simliar for Canada, I cant seem to find the Canadian stats and it is for first marriages, been slowing increasing for awhile. -- nm - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 10:51
- for the first marriage, or all of them? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:46
It stuns me that Sidney Crosby's having such a hard time returning after such an innocous collision. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:42 7

  - Right...I wonder if they knew of his concussion off Steckle's collission cuz he took a monster hit the few days later. - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:43
LYC: That Cee Lo song has been stuck in my head for three days. Just when I think it's gone it pops back in. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:39 3
- I may know one that can replace it. - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:43
- I concur, it's *incredibly* catchy. When it gets its earworm hooks in your brain, it doesn't let go. (nm) - musubi Feb 11, 10:42 1
  - I love the track but it's getting annoying humming it all day. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 10:44
Okay. Gov. Brown flew coach to LA, without press aides and without security. :-) -- (link) - con_carne Feb 11, 10:39
So, did we just have a (erph) outage? -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 10:32 4
- ST? I've been getting a couple of server timeouts this morning. - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:33 3
  - System load is stable right now. The only reason for timeouts is usually searches. - Beryllium Feb 11, 10:38 2
    - Yikes, I search a lot on ST because I post a lot of links to this and that and want to see what if anything has been posted before. -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 10:40 1
      - Eventually I'll find a way to speed it up :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 10:45

- [deleted]
- The nightmare is over. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:26 7
  - Oh, I love it when I'm standing behind someone in line, and they get asked for their zip, and they start asking why the store needs their zip. - con_carne Feb 11, 10:30 6
    - Seriously, just make something up and don't hole up the line while you argue about something so trivial. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 10:33 4
      - "901210. Yes, really. I'll say hi to Dylan for you. Gimmie my friggin' drywall screws." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:49 1
        
        "90210" Crap. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:50

Mmm, Sunny Leone's woman blossoms. (nm) - David Feb 11, 10:23
Comparing Dan Snyder to Mubarak is terribly unfair. If Snyder had a military, he would have unleashed them and massacred the crowd of critics already -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 10:18 3
- To be fair, if Snyder had a military, it'd be woefully short on infantry and incredibly heavy in incompatible generals. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 10:39
- That's anti-semetic!!! -- nm - Mop Feb 11, 10:27
- not if they executed like the Redskins -- nm - cupixie Feb 11, 10:19

  - yeah! -- nm - Remlik Feb 11, 10:24
friday hax chat q: how important is sex in a marriage, really? - cupixie Feb 11, 10:12 56
- Carolyn's response: - cupixie Feb 11, 10:42 1
  - Meredith is better. (nm) - musubi Feb 11, 10:45
- Little dick -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 10:38
- This story is worded so vaguely. Is the "friend" already dating this guy? Do they currently have sex (or a lack thereof) right now? - musubi Feb 11, 10:36 11
  - And did the guy propose or is she just considering what she'd say if he did? What's the dude sticking around for and is he blind to her sexual apathy - Max Feb 11, 10:38 9
    - Shes going to ask him to propose. -- nm - miss amanda phones Feb 11, 10:43
    - Does the guy even want to hook up with her? Maybe he's not the only homely one? Is she projecting unrelized fears? - musubi Feb 11, 10:41 7
      - or is she a frigid b!tch who cannot enjoy sex with anyone, let alone him, and hasn't figured that out yet so she thinks it's his fault? -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:42 4
        
        wow, there's no reason to assume that. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:44 3
        
        Other than the fact that all women are frigid b's. (nm) - dignan si Feb 11, 10:48
        
        just throwing it out there as a possibility. - znufrii Feb 11, 10:45 1
        
        I think the b word made it sound harsh -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:45
      - And are they human or cartoon ogres? -- nm - Max Feb 11, 10:42 1
        
        Gnomes, obviously. (nm) - musubi Feb 11, 10:43
  - yup, this could totally be a "hypothetical friend" situation. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:38
- fuxk that -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 11, 10:35
- She may want to try to have sex with him before she rules it out completely. Just a guess. - Inigo Feb 11, 10:32 7
  - Your IM is a good point. Maybe she's not physically attracted because she doesn't truly like him, but is convincing herself she does. - Max Feb 11, 10:35
  - why do we think she hasn't? -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:32 5
    - "She's worried she's going to end up in a sexless marriage." Doesn't sound she's open to the possibility to me. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 10:34 4
      - I don't think we have enough information, but I can absolutely see that scenario even if (especially if) she has had sex with him and wasn't thrilled. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:35 3
        
        If that were the case, I think the line would read "she's worried she'll have bad sex her whole marriage." - Inigo Feb 11, 10:37 2
        
        or, they've slept together, but because she's not attracted to him, she knows it'll drop off to nothing. -- nm - Reagen Feb 11, 10:40 1
        
        this is my interpretation. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:40
- so the FMK situation has become a reality. -- nm - Max Feb 11, 10:31
- So she's repulsed by him enough to not want to have sex with him, but wants to marry him? Uh, that's bad, hmkay. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 11, 10:26 8
  - Well, "not *very* physically attracted" doesn't quite = "repulsed", but... - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:30 7
    - yup. exactly the type of "cuturally informed" priority I refer to below. -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:34 1
      - Glad we agree. Also, from the other day.... - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:36
    - before we jump to that conclusion, I totally understand. There are plenty of guys who are not repulsive, but are still not sexually attractive. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:31 4
      - and women, as a rule, don't tend to marry guys who they see in that way -- nm - cupixie Feb 11, 10:34 3
        
        you think so? I disagree. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:36 2
        
        That's right. They marry the safe guy and secretly bang the hot doormen. -- nm - Max Feb 11, 10:39 1
        
        if they hear the clock ticking, they'll totally marry the safe guy. - loosilu Feb 11, 10:41
- Find a liquor store close to your house. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 11, 10:24
- Good lord, that's pathetic. -- nm - David Feb 11, 10:23
- put a bag over his head -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 10:15 5
  - (he sounds fat.) -- nm - TFox Feb 11, 10:19 4
    - and rich -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:27
    - faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat -- nm - oblique Feb 11, 10:25
    - buy him a treadmill -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 10:20 1
      - And hang some twinkies in front of it -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 10:32
- she's been dating him for long enough to consider getting engaged, but doesn't think the dude is hot? -- nm - amanda jones Feb 11, 10:14 12
  - It's a matter of prioritizing what you want in a relationship -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:16 11
    - but that's not really what the friend is worried about. she wants sex in a marraige to be a priority but knows she won't be getting it with this guy -- nm - cupixie Feb 11, 10:18 10
      - If she's stayed with him this long, there's higher priorities at play here, imho. - znufrii Feb 11, 10:24 3
        
        and to take the argument one step further - znufrii Feb 11, 10:27 2
        
        or else they want two different things, which may not both be available. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:30 1
        
        then it goes back to being a matter of one being a priority over the other. - znufrii Feb 11, 10:33
      - She also wants children. She has to decide which is a higher priority. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:21 5
        
        you can always buy a kid. -- nm - TFox Feb 11, 10:22 4
        
        Oh sh**. (nm) - WeeFox Feb 11, 10:31 3
        
        relax ... he didn't say he'd sell one. -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:32 2
        
        Still...Not it! (nm) - WeeFox Feb 11, 10:33 1
        
        the younger one will get more cash anyway! -- nm - loosilu Feb 11, 10:33
- depends entirely on the people involved - znufrii Feb 11, 10:14
Plenty of Fish Hacker has also broken into e-Harmony's database also.....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Feb 11, 10:11

- Irony, thy name is "revolutionary" -- nm - znufrii Feb 11, 10:11 2
  - It's a revolution *of* the revolution! -- nm - con_carne Feb 11, 10:12 1
    - Tommy Lee Jones character from Under Seige approves this message -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 10:19

david knows the union won the war of northern aggression right? -- nm - cupixie Feb 11, 10:05 3
- The south will rise again. You'd know this if you weren't too stupid to watch Firefly. -- nm - David Feb 11, 10:22 2
  - too bad ESPN canceled Stump the Schwab. you would have been a viking on that -- nm - cupixie Feb 11, 10:24 1

Top Gear to cut Mexico comments from US broadcast -- (link) - LMS Feb 11, 10:03 13
- I'm not surprised at all. They also cut some of the talking segments here too. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:12 10
  - I expect they cut stuff for the ads anyway so this time it's a no-brainer. I barely know who John Bishop is (last week's SIARPC). Simon Pegg this Sun -- nm - LMS Feb 11, 10:14 9
    - Oh, that's right, there are no ads when it airs on the BBC. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:22 8
      - Sure, you need to watch Black Books, The IT Crowd and Father Ted, Coupling, Blackadder, Miranda , The Trip for comedies. - LMS Feb 11, 10:26 7 1
        
        Father Ted and Coupling are musts -- nm - J Feb 11, 10:36
        
        Thank you very much! I saw a few episodes of Black Books, very funny. Love Bill Bailey, always funny when I see him on something. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:28 5
        
        Bill is an amazing stand-up. If you can you should check out his shows. - LMS Feb 11, 10:33 4
        
        I didn't know he did stand-up, I'll look for it. I might not understand everything he says though. :-) - Krusty Feb 11, 10:36 3
        
        And I didn't even get started on the drama stuff. Here's a clip of Bill doing one of his songs. -- (link) - LMS Feb 11, 10:38 [youtube] 2
        
        Very funny! I'm going to look for his stand-up tonight. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 10:49
        
        I'll bother you in a few months for drama recommendations. - Krusty Feb 11, 10:42
