Also tell him that we have been seeing some exciting new Newbers on the board recently. He always liked the Newbers.

Thanks.

One last comment on that from the board: We don't care.

Kill Paigow, because her Mr. Hyde side makes me crazy (even if Dr. Jekyll is remarkably pleasant).

Marry dtb, because if her oral skilz ever wore out, I could try to get half of her estate.

Fuck NFH, because maybe she's a spinner.

Wow. What a downer. That's like a party without hummus.

Is that how you say it with a Boston accent?

NBA referee bet on games, altered calls -- what would they do w/r/t the game history? Asterisks?

One thing I forgot to mention, and then I'll drop the whole long commute thing. People who live in Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn have a close to or 2 hour commute--due to the traffic patterns. And that's close to the city. Certain parts of Jersey and CT and the farther you get out on the Island, 2 hours. My prior commute from Rockland [when we lived there for a short while] because it is the other side of the river [rockland county is much much closer] was close to 1 hour 1/2 due to the logistics of the ferry to the train. So it's not as simple as moving closer, or making the short commute a priority. Sometimes you can live close and have a very long commute.

This shit is wasted on non-nyers and Manhattanites.

700k for 1700 square feet, 1 1/2 each way and 20k in taxes. New York New York it's a hellova town. Now you know why we are always so fucking nasty.

Interesting. I live in the city, and my commute times are short, but can vary widely from a percentage-of-total-commute standpoint, based on highway traffic, or construction on city streets. The western suburbs are popular places to go to get more house for your money and a good school district, and the people who live there claim they are not much farther than, say, South Minneapolis. For example, I have a friend who lives in Plymouth, and she always gave me an as-the-crow-flies distance to Minneapolis from her house. But when she worked downtown, she had to deal with 394 traffic, which can be a bear, even with the sane lane. But I suppose if you lived in certain parts of southeast Minneapolis, you could also be relatively close to downtwon mile-wise, but still have a long commute due to the lack of reliable highways in that area. I suppose the addition of light rail has eased that problem, though. I am less familiar with commuting issues relating to St. Paul, but I have a friend who commutes all the way from Afton, which is a serious hike, but he has a lead foot, and it is a straight shot down 94. So I guess people's commuting experiences can really vary, even if you are closer to the city.

They didn't do anything while it was happening. In cooperating with the FBI, they let the games play on while the fix was in.

It's a pit. But at least it isn't Houston.
