sycor ...Star Wars:The Adventures of Tag and Bink. by the guy who did the Troopers (Cops) video. It's reealllly good. -- nm - Remlik Mar 16, 14:18 4
- I think Pegg and Frost doing a Tag and Bink movie would be funny. -- nm - sycor Mar 16, 14:21 1
  - oh yeah. And they could do it like the DS9 Tribbles episode.... - Remlik Mar 16, 14:23
- "Troops". -- nm - Mop (206 lbs) Mar 16, 14:20 1
  - thanks! -- nm - Remlik Mar 16, 14:21
Woooo. I'm going to miss my VP when he retires later this year. When he sponsors a good-bye lunch it's always a really good time. - zork Mar 16, 14:17

Hoo boy, the athletic director at UT just sandbagged Bruce Pearl 48 hours before our first tournament game. - David Mar 16, 14:13 6
- I'd take him -- nm - stewie Mar 16, 14:16 1
  - I think that if he's out at UT, ESPN gets their wish and he becomes the next Jim Valvano. -- nm - David Mar 16, 14:22
- He's been eyeing different colored blazers anyway, you know it. -- nm - TFox Mar 16, 14:15 3
  - My instant reaction is that Hamilton, the AD, just got himself fired. - David Mar 16, 14:16 2
    - To wake the team up and actually improve their chances of making the Sweet 16? - TFox Mar 16, 14:17 1
      - I'd like to believe Hamilton is that clever, but he strikes me as primarily focused on saving his job. -- nm - David Mar 16, 14:22

- you guys need to finish adopting CFL rules. The no-yards flag on punts would save a lot of returners from huge "out of nowhere" hits. -- nm - zork Mar 16, 14:19 3
  - I'd seriously be curious to know how much the NFL compares notes on CFL rules. There's enough CFL ex-pats in mang't to suggest they would. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 16, 14:21
  - also the single point on kick offs and punts would make things very interesting - zork Mar 16, 14:21 1
    - No, this is one I like as CFL-only. Ditto the wider,longer fields. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 16, 14:22
- more than just the Giants? - stewie Mar 16, 14:15
- does San Diego want this proposal to extend retroactively to the Seattle game? -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:12
- [deleted]
- and all players must wear those giant sumo wrestler suits at all times. -- nm - Beaker Mar 16, 14:05
- I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the Bears are against this proposal. -- nm - pmb Mar 16, 14:03
Hugo Chavez has something against large breasted women and breast augmentations are "monstrous"....(link) - Walt_Disney Mar 16, 13:59 5
- actually reading his comments in context, I see his point -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:06 1
  - but, admittedly, that isn't as fun -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 14:07
- he feels left out with all that is happening in the world -- nm - Beaker Mar 16, 14:05
- Poor little boy is frightened of women. -- nm - Mop (206 lbs) Mar 16, 14:04
- What is his stance on breast reduction? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 13:59
As much as I'd like to see Hill-dog run in '16, she'd be 69 years old. So I don't blame her. -- nm - nubby Mar 16, 13:58 4

  - Schultz was the last Sec of State to last longer than a full 4 year term, and before that it was Dean Rusk -- nm - Roger More Mar 16, 14:14 1
    - (Shultz) -- nm - Roger More Mar 16, 14:14
  - I'm surprised as well because I have had the sense that she really enjoys the job (though I'm sure the stress is enormous). -- nm - pmb Mar 16, 14:03
I have no way to verify this photo. But if accurate, it's partly why I think Japan is going to be okay overall. -- (link) - Qale Mar 16, 13:54 [Image] 14
- That's some impressive hedge-planting. -- nm - mara Mar 16, 14:03
- That looks shopped. I can tell by the pixels and having seen a few shops in my day. -- nm - znufrii Mar 16, 13:58 1
  - Damnit. 2chan strikes again! -- nm - Qale Mar 16, 14:05
- [deleted]
- The photo is not from the same perspective, so it's hard to judge the accuracy -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 13:56 7
  - It could be perfectly accurate, the photo on the right being a before shot. -- nm - mara Mar 16, 14:16 2
    - If it were the original 2ch's handiwork, if we zoom in, there ought to be some hentai in there somewhere. -- nm - Qale Mar 16, 14:23
    - that was my first thought as well... -- nm - znufrii Mar 16, 14:18
  - from what I can tell, the area with the buckled pavement in the first shot is somewhere behind the construciton equipment in the second. - znufrii Mar 16, 14:13
  - Right, the pavement there in the second photo is the unbuckled portion in the first. It does look like they've done a good deal of demo and dumped some fill though. -- nm - Ender Mar 16, 14:03
  - Hence my conditional tone. Though, I have to say, it certainly fits within the stereotype. This time for the better. -- nm - Qale Mar 16, 13:58
  - *nods* -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 16, 13:57
- Go nanobots go! -- nm - Reagen Mar 16, 13:55

thing I learned about potassium iodide today: "But potassium iodide can be harmful to people who are allergic to the substance " - crash davis Mar 16, 13:44 6
- People panic about radiation poisoning, but what about when you tell them the cure is ferrocyanide pills? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 13:46 3
  - thats better than when you were telling people to get Prussian Blue yesterday - I thought why is Bery recommending neo-Nazi rock? -- nm - crash davis Mar 16, 13:47 2

- but he doesn't even use that station to get on and off the train! -- nm - ML si Mar 16, 13:30
Trader Joe's ginger snaps are good. Might be the best store bought ones I've ever tried. -- nm - con_carne Mar 16, 13:25 3
