@Japan: my mom is the same way. She must have like 10 different wine-openers which are significantly worse than the good-old two-hinge waiter's corkscrew
She made an attempt at using this thing she got for chopping veg over christmas. This thing:
It does not work like it does in the video. What happens is that you bring the "press" part down, it goes some way into whatever you're trying to chop, then it jams. At this point you either need to remove what you were trying to chop and cut it up so that it doesn't jam the machine, or exert so much pressure on the press that you start worrying about the maximum amount of mechanical load you can put on the hinge.
On top of that it is an utter pig to clean, being filled with fine meshes and grilles, and having a tendency to reduce things to mush as you try to push the thing closed over and over again.
My mom did some weird stuff when she visited me last year. One of them was she insisted I did not have enough towels and insisted I have more. Like, it wasn't a passing thought but something that HAD to be done before she left. If your parents visit do they do weird stuff like that?
yeah i have some sudafed (the good stuff with pseudo) but i'm on like my 5th dose and still very little improvement
Seriously, Org, inhale some saltwater.
I'm not joking; it's every bit as unpleasant as it sounds, but it will clear you right the fuck out. The correct ratio is two teaspoons of salt to one cup of water (make sure it's mixed well). I'm not gonna say it's fun, but it works like fucking magic.
i trid this and vomited err'where

It was a fucking miracle, and at this point, any win by them is fucking gravy, but they just knocked the returning Superbowl champions out of the playoffs; that's pretty hardcore.
I actually thought the seahawks had a chance. I was reading on football outsiders that, according to DVOA, the Seahawks are like the fourth (statistically) worst team to make the playoffs. However, of the four previous worst teams to make the playoffs, three of them won their first game. Add to that the fact that the Saints had a fluff schedule and never had a game where they looked really good, I thought Seattle had a legitimate chance.
Plus, Matty H went to my highschool, so he's got that going for him.

I'm drunk, so I may have failed to mention that you should do it in the shower.

He did amazingly well today; he really, really needs to retire, though. He's a fucking terrible quarterback.
As an avid Saints fan I was really worried going into the game. I was primarily worried because our defense regressed horribly this year (which is what happens with turnover-based defenses, it's usually boom-or-bust), and our top two running backs were out, Thomas being out hurting the most. Without Brees, they'd have been probably something like 4-12 this season.
Oh well, last year was amazing enough.

when the saints called a run play on the two point conversion and they had their like third string RB in
well
I didn't think that was the best idea
There was literally no difference between them making the extra point and them not making the extra point at that point in the game, so they kind of had to go with the run for the conversion.
Unless you're betting on a safety, which is never a smart bet.

why couldn't they do a pass play, is what I am saying
I understand why they had to go for two

Not really. He's like Bledsoe-lite. He's just playing in an era of unparalleled QB skill, so he's ranked lower. He's the sam adams of QBs -- he's either the worst of the elite QBs or the best of the average QBs.
@Eddy: yeah, that's how I've felt after every year my team won. It's like "heh, I would have liked to won again, but I'm good for a few years."

I have watched some of the games this season, dude; he's fucking awful.
Today's game was an exception, but it's time for him to hang up his pads. He's an awful fucking quarterback.

statistically you are more likely to convert a goal-line run than a goal-line pass, and they didn't need the conversion anyways.

"Need" being a relative term; if they had made the conversion, they only would have been down by a field goal and a touchdown, instead of by two touchdowns.
Either way, they needed another touchdown to take the lead.
Yeah, they were down by 11. Then, they made the touchdown, from which there are three possibilities:
1) They don't make any points, in which case they're down by a touchdown.
2) They kick for one extra point... in which case they're down by four points, which is essentially down by one touchown.
3) They make the conversion, so they're down by three points, which is just one field goal; they could theoretically tie it up, and force the game into overtime.
Wikipedia has a way better summary of news pertaining to the 2011 F1 season than any of the sports news sites.
All I wanted was a list of confirmed race drivers for the season, and to know which race seats were still To Be Announced. You'd think that this was something you'd be able to find out from Autosport or whatever, but apparently not.

Someone help me out: there's a study out there I swear to god there is that shows--or at least suggests--a relationship between higher pay for political elites and less corruption. But my Google-Fu is weak.

Now to sit about for 20 mins or so.
I thought they cut the lead to 3 if they got the 2 pt conversion
so uh what
edit* or was it 4?
Either way, they needed another touchdown to take the lead.
their rb's were out hurt
they put in a guy who had not taken a snap yet on the most crucial play of the game
personally I would have taken my chances with someone else who had been making some catches or something
1) They don't make any points, in which case they're down by a touchdown.
2) They kick for one extra point... in which case they're down by four points, which is essentially down by one touchown.
3) They make the conversion, so they're down by three points, which is just one field goal; they could theoretically tie it up, and force the game into overtime.

I believe it's because Reggie Bush is fumble-prone and not their goal-line formation back with Pierre Thomas's injury
he was out getting his leg looked at
jones was out too for injury reasons sustained on that drive I think
and anyway this was the best part of the game
My first thought was, "why is that man holding a tomato?"
