Well maybe I am jumping to conclusions.
Someone voted for The Bookdick Saints.
Maybe it's a porno I don't know about.

If you were wondering why Hugh Douglas wasn't on Numbers Never Lie on Monday, this is why...
Last Thursday, at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair, Hugh Douglas, the former Eagle and current NFL analyst for ESPN, was very drunk. A day later he would be both drunk and combative, and, as The Big Lead first reported, he and an ESPN colleague would nearly come to blows. But what went down on Friday had its roots in what happened on Thursday.
Douglas was at the Gaylord Palms Resort hotel, along with his Numbers Never Lie co-hosts, Michael Smith and Jemele Hill. Smith and Hill were speaking to "hundreds of conventioneers." Smith and Hill, both former print journalists, have been buddies for a while. They started doing a podcast a few months ago, in addition to their ESPN TV show. The podcast is called His & Hers with Michael Smith and Jemele Hill, and they were explaining to potential ESPN job recruits how it came to be. Just as they were wrapping up, Douglas approached them.
Two people told us that Douglas was drunk. Not tipsy. Wasted. We've also been told that Douglas has felt uncomfortable ever since Hill's addition to the show a few months back. Smith and Hill, after all, are old friends, and the show was now two journalists plus an ex-jock, with some loose talk that new hire Nate Silver might have some role on the show, too. A source speculates that Douglas, outnumbered by non-jocks, felt left out.
The rest is here at Deadspin.
Follow up on this - Hugh Douglas has been fired

I put out my first request for someone to correct their ballot.
And some of you clearly didn't make spelling a priority - God bless...

Yeah - I have a serious problem with everyone calling Jenkins a "good soldier"
IT'S MY FIRST MISSION!!! IT'S MY FIRST MISSION!!!
Then he just runs straight out in no cover gets shot by a fucking Geth Drone and dies. What kinda shitty ass shield did he have?

When I break kayfabe and do a shoot move, I always make it a Hurricanrana.

I abandoned trying to get the 75% completion achievements because I just want to get this over with so I can get to Mass Effect 2.
I was also realizing last night that I don't think I let Fist live in my Male Shepard playthrough - if I did, I have no memory of it. So at least I will get to talk to him this time around when I get to Omega.
It is really interesting doing the Mass Effect story now, seeing all the things that were referenced that we had no clue about. Like the AI stealing the money who said the only two options between Synthetics and Organics is Control or Destroy.

I was giddy when Shimmer followed us
BTW - as a general rule, if we are live tweeting something we will sign who is who.
The rest of the time it's 95% certain that the tweets are coming from me.

Just sent mine in.
Hopefully it comes through, and I actually managed to attach the file from my Google Drive correctly.
I got the file and your ballot is my favorite ballot so far

Does it violate the spirit of this topic to ask about (preferably free) online multiplayer ways to play classic board games?
A lot of the games are available via iOS but they aren't free. They generally run between .99 cents and like $7.99
But they all have options to play against the computer or pass and play or some sort of multiplayer.

So when does the countdown start, and is Rippa handling all that?
I will do it - I am thinking the earliest will be Monday since I still have to enter everything and double check everything. And I don't want to start on a weekend since not as many people are around over the weekend.
Now that being said - if I fly through the entering phase and don't get anymore ballots and I don't have to have anyone correct their ballot - it could be sooner.

I did discover that American Iron Chef now does this wacky thing where you have to serve an appetizer in the first like 15 or 20 minutes of the contest which just is wrong

What Dolfan left out was all the people who then responded to that tweet basically saying it was okay to throw bananas at blacks.
The internet is a wonderful place

May I suggest you guys live (or tape delay) tweet Total Divas? Don't know why, but I suspect that would be a good time reading the tweets.
Ooof....
I mean I clearly hate myself and I have done a lot of shameful things but even I know don't know if I could suffer through Total Divas
