Was Magin as insane as the stats suggest? Also, congrats to ROM on his first title.

Rothlover

Hope whoever it is at TRASH that enters stats for bids notes the lack of data for the last two rounds, which spiked the bonus conversion by ~2/11ths

Hey, I have a buzzer system and can fill out any team if there is such a desire. Might someone be able to pick me up from right off the turnpike?

Johnny Damon makes the whistles go whoo-whoo.

Confirm.

Young, dumb and full of com...placency?

If anyone can find the faked Louis Armstrong cover of "Oops I did it again" that would be cool, as that was a great cover.

Rothlover

So, was Celine Dion listening to AC/DC one day when she was like "this song needs some cowbell?" The guitar player does nail the tone pretty well though.

its close enough, not to mention most of the bands mentioned have had some key lineup changes at some point, and that not every member in all of these bands was either US born or raised.

Rothlover

The band is also pretty good, come to think of that. CSNY is kind of american.

When is peter mcquorcdale (sp?) getting to this party?

7. Choose one team member to perform this task. You will now be handed one envelope and one paper plate. Inside the envelope you will find (1) One pair of disposable chopsticks (2) One box of Gobstoppers. Separate the chopsticks, and pour the candy onto the plate. Using only the chopsticks, *pick u...

Poutine is not "disco fries," Tom Wolfe's should never be the subject of a "names the same" tu. Take that, multiply by 100 and you have VETO.

Rothlover

I was basically being facetious, but I do believe that trash should be about important things, and with tv, if you are going to have a ton of recent stuff you are going to be branching out into shows that matter neither critically nor neilsenally. That leads to stuff like lots of tossups on Reunion ...

Rothlover

I agree with mike, "other" trash rules. I have a few pet peeves about the distribution you posted (and the one used at most tournaments): 2/2 prior to 1990 (from tv showe) Do we really need 2/2 on old tv shows? I feel like it's overrepresented, and I would wager that this distribution has...

Rothlover

Does this need any webspace to work in? If it does, you know where to hit me up.

Rothlover

Are the stats from history doubles up somewhere?

Some awesome shit people found is posted here: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/wikiwatch/

I am fond of the Sallie Mae CEO's edit of herself.

Rothlover

Though I said it at the event(s), the weekend was awesome, so I personally offer big ups to everyone who contributed.

Rothlover

Yeah, I actually went 2/1 against Gaukel 3/0 against LafLuo 1/0 against Ragab and 4/0 against the locals for a line of 34/12. I still suck though.

Rothlover

The story I heard was that as of Saturday night they were 100 tossups short for some reason. It was decided that they wouldn't be able to get the questions done that night so the tournament was canceled. Hopefully Weiner will have a much more complete story when he gets back (I think he drove, so i...

Rothlover

I think I know of a Free agent if any teams need one e-mail me and I'll see if hes available as soon as I can get in touch with him.

Rothlover

There are also those in quiz bowl who liked getting through classes purely on information gleaned from old ACF packets. I won't name names.

Rothlover

All due respect to Bruce and Tim's abilities and ROM's awesome personality, but I've yet to lose to ROM in any situation in the past and I plan on keeping that the case.

Rothlover

I agree with Andrew in that these are still just dogs. His offenses aren't really on par with, say, Elijah Dukes, Myers, Wil Cordero or Jason Kidd. I don't know what other stars have done serious damage to actual human beings. Still, why can't $10 mil a year encourage you to find a hobby where you a...

Was that an NYU team or something?

Rothlover

I want to go on record as the first person in this forum to bet on the Mariners in the AL West. Feel free to go on record as the last one too. Does anyone who watched the All-Star Game want on the bandwagon? I am not betting against a team that has Jack Cust. I want to go on record noting that play...

Rothlover

hey, taking a minute in my addled state to note that I got a new hosting/reg for qbwiki since the old one is due to expire soon. Anyone care to help in the transfer of the data. I'd imagine I wouldn't be the only one who'd appreciate it. E-mail me, though I won't be checking often for a few days.

Rothlover

If people want to pay it, thats cool. I personally can't put in that much money. I have a deal for netfirms, so I can spring for that again for people. I also have one for hostpc, but I don't think that has much built in in the way of traffic bandwith.

Rothlover

Can someone look at netfirms.com and see if it has the capability to handle decent wiki stuff? I am thinking of getting that for the next year since the current host will run out in a few weeks.

Rothlover

If they keep their roster as is, I'd give them a one in three shot. If they play it smart and realize how easily fixable their problems are, and get a Chris Shelton or a Roberto Petagine to play 1B or DH, they could add a couple of extra wins in value and be about a 50/50.

Rothlover

Yeah, the lease is expiring soon. Someone want to coordinate with me on transferring all the data to a new host? You all have my e-mail right?

Rothlover

I could've sworn I said I'll play. That was probably in the other thread? Anyhow, I'll play.

Rothlover

I wonder how much the movie rights are.

Rothlover

How has it even sold the 25 copies necessary to have 25 used and new? I'm hoping they are all just ARC's.

Rothlover

And I just called my friend Mr. Wizard yesterday. "Be careful, these things happen in threes."

Rothlover

This should be good.

She already won two games, though I believe they were preempted in a few parts of the country. Qb players past and present have had a solid run of luck lately, with Mehrun (formerly of 'Deis) having won 6 games and 130K a couple of weeks ago. Anyone have auditions lately, btw? Its hard getting them ...

I usually bracket it by the equation for the benefit of a reader who might not know how to properly say it. Even science-tarded mods can handle things like "e to the x plus x squared," or "one over the natural log of p." Thats just how I've personally done that, though I've yet t...

Rothlover

Seth, could we get a field update too? I'd love to write my q's, but first gotta find a spot some place that would have me, and I'm guessing at least a few others are interested for similar reasons. Thanks, man.

He is going to be part of the "crazy religious beliefs" insert set, joining such luminaries as Carl Everett, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Pedro Cerrano.

Rothlover

I'm always in.

Rothlover

I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with the entire ouvere of Dschinghis Khan (If not, they can contact me, I have 13 albums.)

Also, if anyone has been to a Jewish wedding and heard the Mordechai Ben-David song "Yiddin," its melody was lifted from the song Dschinghis Khan without credit.

The filter for Banana etc. is just a joke right? We will be able to utter unfiltered "fucks" soon, right? That is 72% of the board's appeal.
