I need to run a charades game for a group of 14-20, 7-10 year olds on Saturday. I figured 30 suggestions will be plenty. My idea was simple things like animals, vehicles, maybe some movie characters from recent popular kid movies. So I...

I play the former, but not the latter, as I'm a very special kind of nerd. I'm wondering how transferrable the skillsets are. Specifically, I'm wondering how long is reasonable for a skilled pitcher to take to become a skilled dartsmen. ...

Indiana - Come for the nut logs, stay for our post-industrial happy-hour specials

http://www.idlemafia.com/index.cgi?b...6&page=1#48584 The game setup is randomly chosen from one of three possible setups as detailed below: 1 Mafia Goon, 1 Mafia Roleblocker, 1 Sane Cop, 1 Sane Doctor, 5 Townies 2 Mafia Goons, 1 Sane...

That is a lot of money, although he is currently the best player in the world. I wonder who Man Utd are going to spend it on.

Over the next few weeks the ICC are holding the Twenty20 World Cup, kicking off tonight with the England taking on the Netherlands at Lords. The current groups are Group A: India, Bangladesh, Ireland Group B: Pakistan, England, Netherlands...

Has anybody played the PC Game Stalker? It's set in and around Chernobyl in 2012. If so, I would love to know how to get the papers out of the underground lab. I keep getting locked into the room beneath the control room and get "someone is...

Just had a read of this article on mlb.com. The message is ingrained in pitchers at an early age, and the philosophy holds true in the big leagues: Get ahead in the count with two quick strikes, and then make sure that third pitch can't be hit. ...

Rather than infect the main Baseball thread with a hijack, I'd like to explain, with a minimum of hostility, what sabermetrics is and why I value it so much. I've been a baseball nut for nearly 50 years, and I owe the vast majority of the...

I'm doing a series of female nudes (back and front views) from the neck down and knees up (and thanks to those who contributed photos of yourselves in the nude--unfortunately, I'm not doing any male nudes just now--I got a lecture at a group show I...

I say a state, you say the capital and then pick another state. Example: I post Mississippi. Next poster says "Jackson" and then gets to post another state like "Iowa". Ok? Simple enough? But fun! I'll start. Iowa. :smile:

Currently I'm aware of only one country with several "national" football associations: the UK. Is this an exception for specific reasons or could any country send more than one team to international tournaments?

Previous thread can be found here . Well, the Dodgers got Kuroda back, and he's seemingly semi-in shape. They couldn't back him up with any runs, however, and we lost the opener to the D-Backs. No worries. We're still 8 games up in the NL West....

Steroids in baseball. HGH in football. EPO and blood-packing in the Tour de France. Marijuana in Olympic snowboarding. You know...the performance enhancers. ;) In all the conversation about how to eliminate doping in sports, it seems to be an...

USA's just knocked out Egypt and Italy from the Confederations Cup group stage (warm up tournament for the World Cup), in perhaps the strangest group stage ever. The Americans didn't have any points at the beginning of the night, but beat Egypt 3-0...

Quantum weirdness entends right through your unappreciating intellect, opposing philosphophies, appropriately silenced, down from great historical juggernauts knowing little. Zounds, exemplified confusion, voiced by new minds. Okay, so I cheated...

Copying and pasting from chat, cause I'm lazy like that. Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » was pondering on if anyone would like to hear about the cute game I found on Steam the other day Zabigail « Wed May 06, 2009 12:13 pm » It's kind...

A few weeks ago I played Texas Hold'em for the first time. First I read up on the rules and practiced against an (offline) computer game. Shortly afterwards I met with a friends of mine and we played live (real but negligible money), but only one...

So this game is rocking, but here I am in the sacrifice room (pandora's temple/posidein's challenge)--the missing handle is lying on the floor glinting up at me like a two-dollar whore--and I can't pick the damned thing up. I've got Kratos jumping...

I was actually crying. I usually rooted against him, but I admired his work ethic and the NFL will miss him dearly. So sad for one so young to die. This is a bad week for celebrities.

I just got through the on-line voting for the MLB All-Star game and was curious as to who othr people like this season and your justifications (if any). Here's who I voted for: AL 1B - Morneau 2B - Iwamura 3B - Longoria SS - Bartlett C -...

give a silly answer. Or if you have a factual one, you can give that instead. Here's mine:- If dogs have such a good sense of smell, why do they have to put their nose right up to a turd to sniff it?

It's summer! Favorite Slurpee (tm) flavors, real or imagined! Cherry Lime

I understand the basics, because they seem similar to a game we learn in school called Rounders. Use a bat to hit a ball and move between bases without being run-out (sorry, thats a cricket term, I don't know if it is the same for baseball or...

Your word must have as little as possbile to do with the word before. Judging is by open committe (everyone). Judging shoud be firm, but fair. I would think that living creatures of any sort in a row would be a ding, but naming something that...

I'm going to use a quote from another Domer and the next poster needs to name that poster and then give a new quote from another esteemed member of the board. Rule: The quote MUST be from the same day as the post here. Here's my quote: ...

Long story--it all started, well, 45 years ago, when I was a 10 year old Mets fan, and Bill Wakefield was a rookie pitcher for Casey Stengel's Mets. Skip ahead a few decades, to when I helped run a Mets' fan messageboard: I contacted Wakefield,...

Well, it looks like 8 of the teams that make up Formula 1 have had enough of Max Mosely and the demands being placed on them from the budget cap. They are going to form their own Championship in 2010 before the budget cap kicks in. When that...

I've had a couple of straight flushes but never had a royal flush myself, although I have seen it once.

ivan astikov mentioned a desire for some MMA discussion, and since I'm a fan as well, I figured I'd start this up as a general thread for all things MMA. I'll start: UFC96 man, am I ever glad they stopped with the silly names. Domination!...

I just rediscovered this bookmark after a while away from it, it's called Urban Dead, and it's all about surviving in a ruined British city that's been overrun by zombies. No getting ahead majorly by paying, and playtime is just a few minutes per...

The season is about to start soon. Is anybody playing fantasy football (it's free to enter). Is there enough interest for a Domebo league?

Well, it looks like Ferrari went out and found someone to take over from Massa while he recovers. It looks like Michael Schumacher is going to be back in Formula One after all. Story here He may be 40, but he still has more skill than most on...

What a long, strange trip it's been so far. As of July 1, the only team with an even semi-comfortable lead in their division is the Dodgers, and they have San Francisco coming up fast. Arizona is holding down the cellar of baseball, 18 games out....

So the new season is coming up soon and so all the English Premier league teams are unveiling their new strips. Mainly to cash in on the fans buying them but hey. And so we come to Newcastle Utd and their abberation of an away strip. It's...

It's called Silent Conversation. It's sort of a platform game, but really it's a unique publishing format. You move around on words, lighting them up; sometimes they form into shapes that fit the description. Some words have power - they must be...

I ignored the invitations very easily since I didn't visit Facebook very often. The invitations kept coming along with emails, IMs and even a phone call asking me to join. I was feeling pretty popular. All these people wanted moi to play? On...

I'm not much of a sports fan. I follow along a bit, cheer for the home team and get impressed by accomplishments, but I've never been a sports nerd. Possibly because of this I wonder about those legendary sportsmen, the number ones of their sport,...

Although I said I'd be sticking around after stepping down as mod, I haven't really been here all that much, and as a result, I've let the Feud sit idle for the past few weeks. I apologize for that, and to keep things moving smoothly I think it...

Same rules as always. Match the majority and you win. This is an unofficial feud, just something to do until the Feudmaster publishes another official thread. 1. Name a movie that’s different because the bad guys win. 2. Name a different type of...

Dosipede has suggested some kind of interboard competition and I think it sounds like a fun idea. Like I said over there, it would have to be something that takes GB's advantage in size into account and I hope it would be something that people in...

It's that time again when England and Australia clash over cricket. First Test: England v Australia at Cardiff Jul 8-12 (11:00 local, 10:00 GMT) Second Test: England v Australia at Lord's Jul 16-20 (11:00 local, 10:00 GMT)
