QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 10:46 PM) Really, don't bother. Yeah why would you want to stir up or anger the crazy?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 10:02 PM) I take from everything that this show is stupid yet too gory to turn off. I assume you didn't read my spoilers. All I'm sayin is the issue of how people get infected or turn into zombies isn't as inconsistent as you think. I believe they will probably be explaining it soon.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) The problem is factual inconsistencies. I believe there is evidence that FEDEX facilities were open that night, or at least on Saturday etc. Therefore if under oath the tester said "There were no other facilities", if that is not true, then 1) the tester lied or 2) the tester never really looked to see. Either way, youve got a problem because the entire case is built on the tester being a believable/credible witness, and within the first 5 seconds youve already destroyed it. The simplest question is: If you were so concerned about procedure and safeguarding the specimen, why did you not look to find other FEDEX facilities that night? If you were so concerned, etc, etc, why did you not look to find a facility immediately the next morning? (And the ultimate question that you never ask, but you argue) What were you doing for over 48 hours that prevented you from turning in the specimen? I assume in the future MLB will rectify these issues. The collector didn't say no FedEx locations were open; he said none would have shipped the package before Monday. So, the box was either going to sit in FedEx's office for 48 hours or sit in his house for 48 hours. The standard protocol was for him to hold on to it because his possession is a more controlled environment than FedEx.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 09:02 PM) That movie sucked so hard. I still can't believe it was even nominated. I thought it was an excellent portrayal of racism in American. I, for one, incorporate at least one racist comment or action into every human interaction I have. You dirty *****.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 25, 2012 -> 11:29 PM) Passan IF he's right and "Fridge storage by the collector" is a common procedure for most other testing programs, then even if it's not in MLB's program, then the people who are pretending that somehow we should still pretend he's "clean" have even less to stand on. How do you get off on a technicality when that technicality isn't even written?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 06:29 PM) Yeah, it's just, in this very episode, the idea of scratches is brought up. I would think if a scratch can infect you, then playing blood brothers with a zombie would also infect you. If that's not the case, then it's just stupid. All you should take from the scratch reference is that they are questioning the idea that "bite=zombie".

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 05:18 PM) So The Walking Dead... that was one of the better episodes in a long while, but something is bothering me. Blood. I know that we're not supposed to take all that we know from previous zombie film, such as in 28 Days Later when the zombie plague gets passed into a dude's eye and he becomes a zombie. However, I think it's quite fair to assume that zombie blood into your blood = f***ed. Am I right? I mean, the group was worried about 1 of like 7 wells on the farm being contaminated by a zombie, so they put Glen in the ridiculous position of tying a rope around said zombie to remove it from the well (even though it'd been bleeding and oozing in the thing for weeks, which made no sense, because it must have already been contaminated GAH THIS SHOW IS SO INCONSISTENT). Anyway. Grimes and Shane are all into cutting themselves to get blood on things so the zombies lick it now. Then they can kill the zombies with those knives. Then they can cut themselves again with these zombiefied knives and leave more blood (in the same spot, Shane? really, you are rubbing your blood up on zombie saliva at this point!). This follows a period where Shane and Grimes go 10 rounds, open wounds galore. Grimes is bleeding all over the place, and winds up with zombies piled on top of him, puts a gun in a dead-dead zombie's mouth to get to an undead zombie and the f***er's head explodes everywhere, including all over Grimes and presumably into his blood stream. That's it. These guys should be zombies. It's the inconsistency and the blatant ignorance of any good editing that drives me away from this show even in a good week. You shouldn't assume zombieism works the same in The Walking Dead as other zombie books/films. GIANT SPOILERS SERIOUSLY

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 02:10 AM) Don't forget playing someone with a handicap, mental or otherwise New movie idea: beautiful actress/handsome actor is given significant makeup job to make them look ugly/plain. They play a mentally-handicapped Jew escaping the Holocaust. 3 Oscars minimum

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 06:54 AM) Andrea was very annoying this week. She had been more acceptable, but the whole 'I went through this so I know exactly what she's thinking and I'm qualified to handle this' was stupid. I'm not an Andrea fan at all and I thought she was great this week. Someone has needed to b**** out Lori for a long time.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 07:22 AM) yeah somewhat. i guess i expected a bigger bang for my buck at the end, and i kind of called how it ends way back at the beginning, but I didn't think it was terrible. It didn't bother me as much as, say, Lost, but I thought they kinda hand-waved a lot away at the end. The show had enough mysterious plot elements that had good reveals ( ) that the mysterious plot elements that had no good explanation ( ) seemed really unnecessary at the end.
-
QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 06:01 AM) just finished Battlestar Galactica on Netflix. hot damn that was a good show. I think it rivals Lost for me. I still have Lost as number 1, because it had me so much more emotionally invested (apparently by my reaction to the last episode) but Battlestar was so fracking awesome. I got through it waaaaay too fast. lol Yes amazing show, unfortunately with a major letdown ending

QUOTE (SnB @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 10:52 PM) Give yourself some time man. I know you're in shock right now, but making excuses for her like this isn't healthy or logical. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I think it's excusable or justifiable in any way. It's clearly not.
-
QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) But a good point to be made is this. If she did it once, what's to say that she didn't continue to do it or is even still doing it? I mean, you can't trust her opinion on it. No, but this person did, for the most part, exit her life. He was a significant (10+ year) ex who she had severe dependency issues with. She left him for me, but did not move on properly.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) So let me get this straight CW...she cheated on you a long time ago? You've been dating for a while and you found out somehow that she cheated on you a long time ago? Things were fine since she stopped until you accidentally found out? It was not a long time ago, but it was not current. It happened after we were engaged, so it was definitely not an early period. I shouldn't have said 'early' that in the previous post.
-
I always said the same thing until it happened.
-
There's a general consensus (understandable) of leave leave leave. I'm curious if anyone who's been through this has attempted to save a relationship which was damaged by cheating through couples therapy or other methods. I wouldn't make such a decision until I've done the things I need to do (leave, get personal therapy) and get myself in a sound mental/emotional state again, but I'm interested to know others' experiences.
-
My current plan is to get out of here and stay with my parents for a while and get some counseling
-
I have no desire to find someone else. The cheating was early in our relationship; I just didn't know until recently.
-
I moved cross-county...I have no friends to hang out with here

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 05:17 AM) Yes I do, free game is the way to be. Although, I've never played a game with so many b****y people if the slightest thing goes wrong. You died once! Feeder! OMG WERE GONNA LOSE NOW

Grantland has an article about how teams have handled Jeremy Lin http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle...uard-jeremy-lin Basically, make him go left and trap him -
QUOTE (3E8 @ Feb 24, 2012 -> 02:41 AM) I think texture is pretty important. If you blenderized a cheeseburger and ate it with a spoon, it would not be as enjoyable. Texture is extremely important. Crispy skin on duck or fried chicken. Crunchy bacon on a sandwich.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Oh s***...fair to say it was her involved in that and not you... How did you discover this? I'd rather not get into details.. just wondering if others have similar experiences and want to know if/how they got through it
