Why would he need to touch the ball? To get a quick couple of shots in before the next free throw attempt? Looking at the score, that's a sound assertion: only 48 points scored at the halfway point of the third. Gotta practice!

Am I to read that "good for you" quote in "Christian Bale?"

The parrot's wings are probably clipped.

The facility I work at is massive (5K+ employees), so there isn't an institutional-wide party (although that would be awesome to witness). My department has a party, which is just a nice lunch and perhaps a White Elephant game or similar.

Finally.

"And people wonder why politicians are continually slashing NASA's budget..."

But people who work here have been diagnosed with it...

Where I work, there are numerous MIT and CalTech students and graduates working in research. Having been here for 10+ years I have witnessed all sorts of curious (rude and demeaning) behavior from these very intelligent people. What it has led many of us to believe is that these folks suffer from Asperger syndrome.…

My cat does the same if I'm laying down on the couch or in bed. I'll pet him for a minute or two and stop. He responds by applying his paw to my face in a petting motion. That's the signal that he wish to be pet more.

heypaula has it, there. You bring in little gift bags with the individual baked goods that first year, then the following year, a community collection of baked goods. That was my approach and it has worked flawlessly.

Now let's say I travel back in time and turn up the oven my grandmother is using (unbeknowst to her) to cook turkey that Thanksgiving, causing it to dry out. My grandfather in taking the ceremonial first bite of the turkey, chokes on it (due to its dryness) and perishes as a result. Given this, will I cease to exist?

It is strange. I pre-ordered the game but wasn't able to enjoy Nuketown 2025 during the promotional period. I was under the impression it was a map I'd be able to play in going forward, like many others.

The Howard Stern Show!

Redbull.

Here's hoping that is the case. There was nothing wrong with Rockstar's music model thus far for this series.

Yeah, but thankfully it's just speculation. I agree with you about the soundtrack. Being able to listen to commercial hits, combined with the hilarious DJs, added something special to the game. Vice City really set the bar high... and you see Saints Row following suit.

Stevie Wonder track.

The 8320s are so ugly and yet, so effective. I've been quite happy with them as a set of "escape from the hacking coughs/guy who uses speakerphone in cube next to me/gossiping people buds."
