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'll get us started. grin

I was at a game this weekend, and happened to notice the bat boy, who was actually, of course, more like a "bat young man". I got to thinking -- has there ever been a case of a Major League bat boy going on to be a Major League player or manager,...

Things are sick and twisted From too much sun and Nazis Sex, meth, and death fetishes Both of them have got these Guaranteed not to bore ya Germany or Florida This was an old game they used to play on the radio program Loveline,...

Okay, need the name, just the name--no other content--of some well-known person most people think is hot, and you don't. I will start: Nicole Kidman

Muttiah Muralitharan has decided to retire from Test Cricket after Galle Test against India, although he may continue to play in the ODIs after that. He is the leading wicket taker in both Test Cricket and ODIs, and I would not put it past him to...

I wanted two create a thread wear standard rules are different. Reed this allowed and ad a line or to of your own. Off too breakfast, I'll have sum bred.

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...

We have been kicking around the idea of a sock contest in chat. Whoever wants to play can make a sock, and people could guess on who the sock is. As the socks are revealed they would be Caged, and the Last Sock Standing wins. OR we could give points...

People often talk about where they were when they heard about important news events, such as the 9/11 attacks or the assassination of President Kennedy. I find, though, that there are many, many events that I remember hearing about, and remember...

post your answer, then a new question for the next poster. ...rode a bike?

Every since I was a kid and in love with "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, I've wanted to write a story that branched off based on the reader's decisions. Text based adventure games were some of my favorite computer games growing up, because it was...

Argh! Freaking i tiles. No matter how good I am doing, there is some point in nearly every game I play when I am stuck with 4 (and sometimes 5) i tiles. I hate them. Useless vowels. Leave me along!

What I mean is, what is the general term for the games played on this board, like the Mafia Games, Diplomacy, word puzzles and my own attempt at a game. My first thought was online games, but I want a term that makes it clear that I am not talking...

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...

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...

Well, hawkeyeop and I have already started haggling over the coming MLB season over in the Spring Training thread, and I thought it might be fun to formalize the argument into a little contest, open to all comers. Here's the plan: over the next few...

Each person tries to follow the path the person before them set out. You start with a beginning article on Wikipedia and an ending article. It should take no more than seven links to get to the ending article. If you think you have it figured out,...

Ok, so what's going on with Tiger Woods? He manages to crash his car at 2am at slow speed into a tree/hydrant outside his house. His wife has smashed the back windows to get him out. Umm, yeah. Sure. So is he having an affair and did his...

you discovered there was no Santa.

Make up an amusing caption for the picture below of Doctor Who star Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) and her new plastic action figure. A box of virtual Jaffa Cakes or other associated sweeties for the best one.

Remember the fuss that was made a few years ago when some mischievous scientists disseminated an article that meant absolutely nothing, and it got taken seriously in various media? Good, because I don't remember the story well enough to Google it...

Golf!

If you wanted to set parameters for a search on their sites, how would you go about that?

Just back from a day at Wrigley. Don't pound them like I used to, but I did okay. Todays totals: 4 Coronas 2 Goose Island Honker's Ales 2 Pints BBK

No, I'm afraid they won't really work playing them online, but I want to hear about the drinking games other people have played. I was a terribly square and boring teenager in many ways. I never had much interest in drinking or partying. When I...

It's really quite simple - you decide on a name, pick the gender and outfit and send your Brute out to battle, gladiator style. Fights give XP, which in turn give new weapons, skills or even pets. They are also automatic, so you don't get to play...

I'll start. Pork pie hats or fedoras?

Coming up on the 7th February is one of the biggest sporting days of the calendar, the Superbowl is upon us again. So who do you think is going to win The New Orleans Saints or the Indianapolis Colts? Are you going to be doing anything...

Sock Chate will be occurring on Wednesday, August 25th at 9PM EST! I will be setting up a free chat room at http://www.chatzy.com/ for this purpose. I will ask the socks a series of Dating Game type questions for them to answer in character,...

Everyone has good days and everyone has bad days and some days always appear better than others. All you have to do is list the days of the week in your order of preference. For me, it's Saturday Friday Sunday, Monday

I'm you knew many 3 sport athletes in HS, and maybe even college if you were at at smaller school. Can you think of any athlete who played 3 sports? (X-country and the two seasons of track are 1 sport)

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. ...

If I didn't need any more convincing, the way Jensen Button has suddenly become a 'world-beater' is all the proof I need that this 'sport' is all about the car. Instead of certain drivers having access to the best vehicle for the job, why can't...

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: ...

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...

So, guys. Can the Brit cause an upset and take down the formidable GSP, or has he jumped in the deep end with lead diving boots? Can "the best Frank Mir ever, even if I do say so myself" beat down the monster that is known as Shane Carwin? ...

While on break, my buddies and I were discussing the best guitarists, bassists and percussionists ever, and I was inspired to post. Choose band members dead or alive from any period to jam together. I have to think about this, so I won't list...

it's been 15 years since an innocuous grey box was released in Japan which has become one of the world's biggest brands. It has become part of everyday life and was a very large part of making console gaming a mainstream experience. It sold more...

My wife suggested we pick up a scooter for my son. I have no clue what brands/models are good. I am old enough that my scooter was homemade with skate wheels. Would it be terrible to build one? Too embarrassing these days?

Anyone else following this? Is it going to be another Federer vs Nadal final or is someone else going to step up. The quarter finals are Federer v Davydenko Djokovic v Tsonga Roddick v Cilic Nadal v Murray

Because I sure don't know what to make of it.

Some close matches so far. What do you/s think of Australia's policy of having a different captain for Tests, ODI and T20? I think it's absurd. No wonder the team has no cohesion!

Rules: 1. No major holidays (New Years, Easter, Hanukkah) Use your discretion. 2. Anything else goes - birthdays, anniversaries, inventions 3. We're going in order, but you can post for already mentioned dates. March 14 - Catwoman's Birthday...

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...

The Googlescape is a very big place. You can Google almost anything, no matter how absurd, and get some hits. So here is the challenge: choose any 5-letter string that is easily pronounceable by a native English speaker (so, "qzkwk" is out, but...

The Coyotes are worth $225M, and the Raptors are worth $920M. So that's 1.15B. How much would it cost to make Key Arena NBA worthy/replace, and put in NHL legal ice surface?
