Ah, Thanksgiving football...the last refuge of a man looking to avoid a family argument on Thanksgiving day. Truly there's no more unifying sentiment than "Shut up, eat your food, and root for the Cowboys to lose!" Come Sunday, the Chiefs and Broncos will clash, and the Saints and Seahawks go at it on Monday Night. It's a good and important week of football, so--PICK 'EM!

You have to love this guy ..... he is a throw back to everything that was, and unfortunately still is, wrong with British politics, but we love him because he is so off-message and un-PC.

How difficult would it be to make a real-time game similar to Diplomacy? Where your troops move slowly to their objectives over the course of a day or so, and with more flexibility of orders (co-ordinates rather than provinces) etc?

While that's admittedly a double sin, posting something from The National Review and TBBT, I'd never thought about it that way...granted I've only seen the film a couple times, but still, huh--was Indy was mostly or completely pointless to the overall plot, or did the best worst archaeologist of all-time really come out awesome after all...at least until Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? ;)

Me: Did you know apple juice come from oranges?
My 3-yr old daughter: Oh daddy. That's silly.
Me: Where do you think apple juice come from?
My 3-yr old daughter: The fridge.

Tendmote considers myself a man of science, but am wary of “why don’t you believe science” arguments when politics is involved. Hi Putin33!

I just lost a pound sitting. How, you ask? By getting a haircut.

Seriously, I lost a pound.

Hey Palestine Israel conflict thoughts? Opinions I want to see arguments and shit no fallacies if you present an argument back it up like a man with evidence.

Playing to draw is quite easy for most of us - but how to turn that into a solo? I've seen many people struggle with that question and I'm no exception. For this reason I thought it would be good to analyze some actual cases and get some advice from the more advanced players on the site: how to get the solo? My first case, inside, I hope others follow!

i don't consider myself liberal, but i'm wondering why liberal is almost considered as a swear word in the us - at least that's what i gathered from reading the forum ect.

i don't want to hear you rant about how dumb liberals are, i just want to understand why.

I love cognac and wine, but aside from those two "regular" favorites, I love to try out new cocktails...they're just so impeccably tasty AND have that wonderful effect of leaving you "happy" enough--not really a somber drinker, except for one time, but that was due to extenuating circumstances--to be sociable but not dead on your feat or a drunken mess. So, for taste and effect alike...favorite cocktails? :)

I work for a museum. Right now we're waiting for the IRS to give our institution approval to apply for a CAGE number so we can get SAM code so we can get a DUNS number so we can get a grants.gov account so we can get an account with IMLS so we can apply for a Museums for America grant. Bureaucracy sucks.

Because I'm just not debating this topic based on one of Nigee's holier-than-thou threads.
What do we think? Step forward or step backward?

This is a thread for talking shit about anybody that is currently silenced, i.e. Grking and Draug

According to the Avalon Hill Diplomacy Rulebook, units cannot trade places without the use of a convoy. Is this also true in a situation where one of the territories is bicoastal? Can a fleet in Bulgaria (west coast) move to Constantinople while a fleet in Constantinople move to Bulgaria (south coast) or would this constitute a bounce?

Is anyone surprised? Anyone at all?
