Is anybody watching the rugby? Wales just had their dreams of a Grand Slam crushed by the French. Does anybody have any predictions on eventual winner? That defeat just made a lot of teams, including England, viable contenders.
I love playing the feuds, enough to commit to running one here if there's any interest. Unless of course another SDMBohemian else has had a burning desire to do so longer than I've been posting here/there. Whaddya think?
Ok, who has been giving England lessons in how to bat. I mean 553/5 at lunch on the second day. Is the pitch playing that true??
You can with Pandemic 2. Apparently, this game has been around for a while. I only found out about it last night and I've killed all of mankind twice. Once with Wigglyworm and another time with Teeny Testes. I have to admit, the only times I've...
http://www.sporcle.com/games/usuk_words.php I got 36 of 45 before time ran out. I was very annoyed that I missed a couple of very easy answers. I KNOW what a spanner is. I know what treacle is. I suck!

The Pats seem preety confident Brady is coming back and will be his old self. Nothing wrong with his arm, true, and good doctorin' should get his knee back to "100%", but I don't think he'll ever be the same. The psychological part of this injury is...
If you can name the song, give yourself a point. If you can name the artist, give yourself another point. If you can voulez-vous coucher avec moi give yourself 10,000 points. If you win, you get one whole internets! Why R&B? Because I need an...
This is not an official feud, since rebo isn't putting it up or scoring it. I just wanna feud. The game will end when we have 20 entries or by when I get to work and take a look tomorrow. I start work at 8:30 am and I'll score it soon after. The...
I'll start the pub crawl rolling. The Football Hooligan's Arms.
For the entertainment I propose, there is but one imperative. The cognitive content of our typing doesn't matter. The topic of conversation may be variable. But within the structure of our discourse, we should avoid one element. If you understand my...
I've tried this before on another message board, let's see if it works here. Try and guess the song from the clue... They're all popular music, from a range of genres. Some I think are easy, others are rather tough. 1. The bucket, we hear, is...

The next issue of City of Heroes will include a feature called Mission Architect, which will allow players to design their own original missions and story arcs to share with other players. More info found here: ...
I just started playing Diablo again, but I don't understand the rules. I have a longbow with damage 3-6 +32% damage. My base damage (with no weapon active) is 3-3. With the bow equipped, it displays the damage as 6-9. Where does the +32% come...
Anyone a hockey fan here? I'm reading Puck Daddy's blog now; I almost forgot today was the day! The Wings aren't in the market so I hadn't been paying attention. Calgary's picked up Olli Jokinen and Jordan Leopold. Those seem to be the biggest...
Whenever there's a discussion about cursed sports teams, my favorite one to bring up is "The Curse of the Colonel." In 1985, the Hanshin Tigers of Osaka won the Japan Series. The night of their victory, crowds of drunken fans were celebrating in...
I'm growing tired of playing CoD:4. CoD:5 isn't all that good, from what I've heard, especially if you're played CoD:4 before. Are there any decent shooters on the horizon?
Well, it's must win time for England in the 5th Test. Looks like we won't be playing Sidebottom or Harmison either and they will give Khan a run instead. Sidebottom was very poor in the last test and Harmison just looks liek he doesn't want to be...
Ok - let''s try this. This Feud is about the game shows Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, created by Merv Griffin. DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS READ THE RULES! Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,...
Arsenal's just gone through against Roma after a penalty shoot-out that went to sudden death. That puts Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the last eight, pretty good showing from the English teams. Who's the favourites to win, now? Man...
When steam first came on the scene oh so many years ago, I was derisive. It was buggy, memory chugging, and bandwidth intensive. It was overly intrusive to my privacy. And the concept was icky to me because I rejected all sorts of online activation...
Story here: http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/600430.html Doesn't seem like a real obvious match to me. The high maintenance spotlight-craving Dallas diva is going to a city that isn't exactly a media hub (I went to college there) with a...
I finally built a computer capable of playing more recent games. I've wanted to play half life 2 since it came out, and I now I can. Of course with HL2, comes steam. And with steam comes online games that I haven't played since the first Half Life...
Since this is a new board, and we seem to be gaining users fast, would anyone be interested in setting up a Domebo online guild? There are enough games out there - Everquest, Guild Wars, Shadowbane etc that would fit. Most players are probably...
My inner nerd is screaming this morning. Forgive me. I'm curious to find out how many Dopers/DoMeBo-ers are HAMs or amateur radio enthusiasts, for a few reasons: A) Just for the hell of it. Wanted to start a discussion B) Just for the hell of...
I'm playing Little Big Planet and Burnout Paradise and a few other games on the PS3 and I'd like to try getting some of the online trophies and maybe get some help getting those multi-player areas in LBP. I'm 'btl' online and I play GTAIV, LBP,...
There needs to be an Eve Online thread. Recent events: The destruction of BoB, Kenny, the ascendance of Goonswarm and Razor. The Apocrypha Expansion pack is coming with Wormholes and T3 modular ships. So this thread is dedicated to...
Who's in? Shall we use PlayDiplomacy, a Judge, or email it all to a hapless accommodating poster?

McDonald's seemed to lose interest after the oddly flavorless Artic Orange and Crest-scented Shamrock Shake. But clearly there are other opportunities. Please suggest them here:
This game is interesting on how it learns from its mistakes when he fails to guess your character. I managed to make it miss with the Duke of Wellington and Professor Ochanomizu/Dr. Packidermus J. Elefun from Astroboy, but Akinator did guess the...
Chuck Daly, former championship coach of the Detroit Pistons, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. And Colleen Howe, wife of Mr. Hockey, died today of Pick's disease.
Anyone else here think that the Thursday / Friday games in the NCAA Tournament are the two best days of the sports year? I took vacation days! I usually fill out 2 brackets - a sensible, and an upset special. This year, I see a BUNCH of upsets,...
I am completely, utterly and totally addicted to Cash Cab. . When I drive a passle of kids into/home from school a couple days a week, we started playing, and as one can imagine, a huge hit with a truck full of sprogs. I realized I needed...

http://www.sporcle.com/games/pluralenglish.php I couldn't get 5 of these words. English is all I know. This is pitiful! How many can you get in 6 minutes? I missed index, matix, appendix, axis and vertex.
So....what's it look like so far for your team? For the Dodgers, it's the usual mess. On the upside, we are real close to getting Manny resigned. We has a plethora of infielders, all of whom are competent at the least. The hitting seems to be...
Who would win in a fight between... ... a fruit bat and a mole? ... Belkar Bitterleaf and Batman? ... a cloud of sentient nuclear fusion and a cloud of sentient dark matter? ... a Scrabble champion and a Bridge champion?
Welcome to the National League East, where Men are Men, and Boys are the Incredibly Fortunate Winners of a Fluke World Championship. Continuing the discussion from the NL West thread, we move now to the NL Central. Let's review: LAST SEASON...
Idea stolen from here. My grandfather invented fish splinters, the precursor to fish sticks. Your turn!
Okay, one more today. Can you tell I am avoiding a long and arduous editing task? Please list famous folk you think are hot, and no one else does. Just the name, no other content. Feel free to add another as a separate post. I begin:
The England Ladies Cricket team has just won their Cricket World Cup for the third time. Congratulations all round to an excellent performance. Now if only the men could catch up, they only have three to go.
Inspired by the sock thread which mentioned this game, I decided to go ahead and make a version of it on the DoMeBo forums. The "goal" is to post in the style of the poster above you, so that a person not looking at your usernames wouldn't be able...

The tournament will start on Thursday, March 5. Already (at least in Japan), there have been several practice exhibition matches between the national teams and between them and the Japan League teams, and all of these have seen very good attendance...
I was doing a search on some of my earliest posts on the SDMB and I ran across a thread I killed--a game thread titled "Would you rather..." Ah-HA, I said to myself, perhaps now, seven years later, I can get a response to my question! Here's the...
All right fantasy fight fans, it's time for another night of exciting action. In the Blue Corner, from the Freedom School, a man that will take his right foot and wop you on that side of your face.... BILLY JACK And his opponent, in the...
Didn't see one, searched for one, didn't find one, so I started this one. I guess the biggest news is that the Marlins will be getting a new retractable roofed stadium to be built on the site of the Orange Bowl in downtown Miami. The stadium is...
