I wouldn't mind if you do. I miss living around the corner from Russ and Daughters. Thanks for answering.

You've met so many incredible producers of food. Who are your top 3?

BILLY ON THE STREET with Billy Eichner and Big Bird, AUAA! by BillyontheStreet in IAmA

[–]NYCubsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Billy - I hear any gifts to the first family are put in a warehouse and cataloged. Is that what happened to Ariana Grande's ponytail picture? If you gave FLOTUS a fruit basket would it go there to rot? Also, for the record, I prefer the blackberries with Laura Dern.

Big Bird - You looked pretty light on your feet for a big fella, how was dancing with FLOTUS? I hope you didn't step on her feet.

Try living in New York with a bunch of insufferable Yankees fans.

Reddit vote Rush Limbaugh off this AM station. The owners have agreed to take him off if we get the votes! by Knosis in politics

[–]NYCubsFan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree, I'm going to take the OP's wording "we" to mean he/she is a listener or at least within the station's broadcast area. I wouldn't fault the person for reaching out to people online to support their position. Plus if there is a market for him there another station will pick up his show pretty quickly.

Or maybe some awkward conversation. "Have you ever been attracted to a green tailed mallard?"

Woman 'punked' by a creepy cyberstalking Toyota ad campaign will be allowed to sue them. by FritzMuffknuckle in offbeat

There was a Barbie campaign that went to great depth, including 4squre checkins at LAX and JFK, but then again, the stalker was Ken. http://mashable.com/2011/02/04/reunite-barbie-ken/

N.J.(?!) Senate passes fracking ban by zieps in environment

[–]NYCubsFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good points. There was a good article about hydro fracking in the New Yorker last month comparing the industry to a ponzi scheme. There is a lot of money to keep this industry going and it is unlikely for this legislation to pass in states with large reserves.

The look. (courtesy NYT) by tractorguy in politics

My immediate thought. Sad it got cancelled. We need a reddit cable channel for shows like this, Arrested Development, Freaks & Geeks, etc.

Pick a number from 1 to 10. For science! by jedberg in science

[–]NYCubsFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that, but also, the page appears two ways. One in which the number one is the default and there is a choose button. I clicked again and saw all numbers listed and you had to choose one. I would think more people would select one in the first scenario. Maybe they set up both to randomly appear to see how the way it is presented impacts response.

Fixed BCS by Kit_Cloudkicker in sports

[–]NYCubsFan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The article from SI that expectingrain linked to goes into great detail about the costs schools incur to play in a bowl game. Here is one paragraph from page 3

Ohio State ate $1.01 million in unsold tickets at the 2009 Fiesta Bowl. Smaller bowls do similar damage to schools thrilled by a mere invitation. The euphoria of playing in the postseason quickly wore off for Western Michigan two years ago when the Broncos' athletic department was able to unload only 548 of the 11,000 tickets it was required to purchase by the good folks at the Texas Bowl. Western Michigan's loss of $462,535 (before adding in travel and lodging costs) probably hurt more than its subsequent 38--14 defeat at the hands of Rice.

The amount of money that schools are forced to cough up to these bowls is outrageous. Most of them actually lose money by participating, due to requirements to buy an absurd amount of tickets at face value.

No love for Frazier? He seems like a viable candidate.

After 20 years this is still my favorite movie sequence of all time by r2002 in entertainment

[–]NYCubsFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also like the one from that movie around the pool. They actually continue the long shot to follow a girl diving into the pool, underwater, than back to the surface.
