    College Basketball 23-24 1 2 3

    Season's tipped off. Right now, the games largely don't even count as cupcakes...lots of em are cotton candy. Barely more than exhibition games. Locally...some may remember that NMSU shut down its entire basketball program midseason, after serious, severe allegations arose. The other shoe dropped today. 3 former players were charged with multiple felony charges (including a second degree charge) of criminal sexual assault and false imprisonment. 13 charges were filed against 2 of the defendants; 11 against the 3rd. The university is also facing another round of lawsuits...some were settled over the summer...related to this. …

    What Are You Listening To Right Now? 1 2 3 4 656

    by Guest Black Lotus

    I know almost everyone has Winamp (or the equivalent) cranked up most of the time when they're online. So, what are you listening to? Right now, I'm listening to: "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash. "My name is Sue! How DO you DO? Now you're gonna die!"

    WWE Snark-Free Zone 1 2 3 4 52

    by Psybolt

    I have been reading the other wrestling thread on this site but I am constantly irritated by the snarky comments by the people claiming to be wrestling fans there. I get so tired of it that I decided to start a new thread where real wrestling fans can come to talk about their love of wrestling without those people who continually want to put it down because it "sucks" or that Miz or Orton or Cena or whatever sucks. I am not asking for people to like everything about the WWE (or TNA). I don't like everything. But I would ask that those Internet "smarts" who have nothing but negative things to say to stay away. Of course, with the IWC being a gripe-filled group…

    I just noticed this: "Please consider these as temporary, advisory answers until such time as Steve Long's health and personal circumstances permit him to resume answering rules questions himself." What happened?

    A Thread for Random Musings 1 2 3 4 703

    by Old Man

    I feel the need to spew random thoughts onto a public board from time to time so I thought I'd start up a thread to do it. Of course everyone else is welcome to spew here also--the only rule is that you cannot reply to someone else's post. Each post should have as little to do with the others as possible.

    Answers & Questions 1 2 3 4 1022

    by Klytus

    This idea, while not my original creation, is one I have seen used in other places, which I thought would be fun. Rather than asking a question and having others post the answer, then another question - you post an answer, somebody provided the question, then gives another question. Kinda like Jeapordy. One other thing, the answers & questions are not meant to be taken to seriously - let your imagination soar. Let me give a few past examples to get things started. Answer: 97.5 Question: What is the aprroximate size, in astronomical units, of Bill Clinton's libido? Answer: Prof. Plum, in the study, with the rope. Question: What is only slightly less…

    Impromptu Superdraft II 1 2 3 4 9

    by Pariah

    Holy forced spontaneity! It's the Impromptu Superdraft II! What: This is a supers draft. You'll be making one selection each weekday, starting tomorrow (Monday, March 4th) and running until Friday, March 15th. All selections are exclusive. Who: All the usual rules about different versions of the same character apply. In short, different characters with the same name are fine; different versions of the same character are out. (For example, if Ant-Man Hank Pym is drafted, you could still draft Ant-Man Scott Lang, but not Yellowjacket Hank Pym.) When: You will make a pick each weekday, starting tomorrow, at noon Eastern Time. No, I don't…

    NGD Scenes from a Hat 1 2 3 4 1074

    by Hermit

    Since Who's line is it anyways? has been the subject of much discussion (okay, SOME discussion) why not try it here? Someone picks a subject/scene, three posters respond to it by writing an example out, and the third one also creates a new subject. Other than that, we wing it.

    A Thread For Random Links 1 2 3 4 62

    by Thrakazog
    • 1.5k replies

    It has been suggested that the NGD boards have been clogged with multiple annoying threads, all linking to other, usually funny websites. It was also suggested that they be given a single thread where they may be posted, commented upon, etc., similar to the random musings thread. Given that I tend to link to other sites quite a bit, and not wanting to be considered annoying, the Thread For Random Links is born. While it may be confusing at times with mixed comments and multiple links, at least it will be less annoying to others and hopefully contributory towards the new character of the NGD board. I'll open this thread with the funny baby.

    Things that should be in fortune cookies 1 2 3 4 21

    by Cancer

    ... but aren't, for any of a number of reasons. Usually because people don't want warnings, they want platitudes. Occasionally one does get through, though. Two examples from my life: "An ambition far beyond your reach." -- I got this one at dinner the day I mailed off my last application to grad school. "A handful of patience is worth more than a barrel full of brains." -- I got this one at the celebratory dinner the day I did my PhD oral defense. So to kick this thread off, from a collection of disquieting possibilities I've collected.... You should see a physician. Soon.

    What Non-Fiction Book have you just finished? 1 2 3 4 20

    by ahduval

    Based on that other thread, what non-fiction books have you read recently? The main reason for this thread is to inform our fellow herophiles on what non-fiction books are worth the time to read. The secondary reason for this thread is to increase my post count The first book I rate is Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist by William Maples A good book to learn what bones can tell about a person and what killed them. This is not a textbook however, it is a memoir of a forensic paleontologist (William Maples) and how he approaches the cases. As a history geek I especially enjoyed the last chapters …

    Quote of the Week From My Life. 1 2 3 4 125

    by Lucius

    We have threads for quotes from games, books, movies, etc. But I think there should be a thread for quotes from life. With or without context. Things you have said or heard yourself, that were not directly lifted from gaming or fiction. From my divorce: My wife: "It's not just a sex thing with you, is it? It's a romantic thing." Me: "You've only now understood that? I always thought it was something that went without saying." After a silence - Me: "It's taken me seven years to realize, that you and I speak a completely different language of the heart." Lucius Alexander Many palindromedary taglines would probably qualify for this thread....

    I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) 1 2 3 4 49

    by SSgt Baloo

    Last night I dreamt that I was walking along a stream, I heard voices coming from underneath a bridge. I looked under the bridge and saw a bunch of anthropomorphic mice*. they had gathered under the bridge because there was "good" air beneath the bridge and "bad" air everywhere else (a subconscious connection to the many fires and "smokevercast" we've had locally for several days now) they were talking about their friend who had fallen into the water and was drowning. I reached in the water and rescued their soggy friend before continuing on my way. *See: American Tail, Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, or Flushed Away for examples.

    Longest Running Thread EVER 1 2 3 4 1381

    by Super Squirrel

    This is an experiment. What we have is an attempt by me to create the longest running, NON game thread. Our record to beat, is the Catsuit thread. Quite a challange. And we are going to have to keep this thing as best we can. Threads and Tangents are welcome. Getting it locked is not desired. Now all we need is a launching point. What does everyone feel about the Red Sox "Curse"? And are you aware that this year Stephen King is going to every game and will be writing a book about the season.
