  (10:00 AM)

Gooooooooooooood morning!

Quentin (Green Bay)

Buzz isn't allowed at Miller Park. The Racing Sausages threatened to quit of he were to ever come to Miller Park, you know, because he's fat.

Tomwit NJ [via mobile]

I have not heard a single dog voice any displeasure with the return of Mike Vick. If they can forgive,so can we.

Bob (Lowell)

Morning Nation. Looks like the Cubs playoff march has been stalled by that juggernaught that is the Natinals.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good morning, people! Another Friday is upon us!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Nothing beats a Friday Morning with tons of leftover banana pudding in the fridge.

Sir Purr (Charlotte)

RowwwrrrJakeDelhommeRowwwrrr

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

What's up Nation? Hope everyone's Friday is off to a good start.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

With jokes like that, Tomwit might want to rethink the last three letters of his name.

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Pull it over, Bob. Juggernaut. Here's your ticket.

Neal (Philly)

Morning Buzz. No supervisor today means nothing important going on at 10 AM.

Pete (NC)

It's Friday, I'm leaving at 1, and I've already had a McD's Chicken biscuit. It's gonna be a great day.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

In full disclosure, I watched Miley Cyrus sing on TV this morning. Not sure if that means my Friday will be good or bad.

Don (San Francisco)

Buzz, I know this has been a loooong week at work, but yesterday really wasn't Friday.

Bob (Lowell)

I don't know what J B was complaining about yesterday. It's a Yankees farm team...they can buy more pitchers.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I'll raise your leftover banana pudding with some co-worker's birthday cake.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

It's only bad if you stood their watching while holding up a lighter, Buzz.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Or change the first three letters to dim.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Breakfast chat: I had a cheese steak sandwich made by my wife. Great way to kick of a day ending with an afternoon of rain-soaked golf and a steak dinner. As always, Outstanding work!

Fido (everywhere)

Michael Vick stinks!

Chris Hanson (Dateline)

Watching Miley Cyrus? Buzz, please sit down over here.

Ryan (San Diego)

Wow

Bob (Lowell)

I'm taking this one to court Spelling Police. It can be spelled both ways.

Ruckus (Sa tx)

We have not said anything about vick cause we are waiting to get him in his sleep.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Im ready for hockey season. I miss Barry.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

If tomwit had a step-brother, would that make him a half-wit?

Clau (Charlotte)

TGIF Buzz, big plans for the weekend?

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

I don't think so. There were some plans, but it's supposed to rain. So probably just hanging around the BuzzMansion.

Spelling Police (On Patrol)

Like most cops, I won't even bother to show up in court. Get out of my sight.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Well the old barn is no more and I don't have to cook for 5 men anymore. YIPPEE

Ryan (San Diego)

You can't hold down the Chula Vista All Stars, you can only hope to contain them...or uncover doctored birth certificates

Christian (High Point, NC)

Banana Pudding >> Birthday Cake (hopefully those two 'greater than' signs show up)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

For those in the MB FFL who aren't aware, I've started a section strictly for Buzz polls.

Spelling Police Magistrate (Cyberspace)

Insufficient evidence to support your claim, Bob. You are hereby sentenced to 1200 community service and a $500 fine.

Jordan (Peoria)

Drank a ton of water to prepare for getting blood drawn since they usually have trouble...I am peeing like crazy

Marc (Big D)

Should I drive 3 hours each way or pay double to fly 1 hour each way. Decisions, decisions.

JB (TX)

Cheesesteak for breakfast? Sounds like Tom is on the Buzz diet. And by diet, I mean he's fat.

Anthony (NY)

Hey Buzz according to the poll on the weight of Buzz in the TMB FFL 1 person thinks your 180 one person 200 1 person 220 and 1 240

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Wouldn't there be egg on all y'all's faces if I weighed 160 or 300 .

chaz (Sa tx)

just drive, eat on the way.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I felt really bad for those Ga. kids. The way they lost was awful.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I hate to be a downer, but I'm starting to hope that Tom's wife accidentally burns something that she cooks or somehow screws it up so Tom at least says....eh average work!

fred (omaha)

hi buzz, wanna get together and watch back to the future?

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

Not in a million years.

Matt (IN)

No Buzz, the egg would obviously be on your face...or in your mouth.

JB (TX)

180? They must be talking metric tons or something.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I think Juggernaught is the British English spelling. Since they had the language first, I think they win.

Jordan (Peoria)

I got Buzz pegged as some skinny guy with a high metabolism

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Marc: If the trip is for business, drive it and collect the mileage check.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

TMI Jordan.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Outside of Zach Rastall I usually don't like calling 13 year olds d-bags, but Kiko Garcia for the Cali LLWS team is a giant d-bag. All it took was one interview and one game of watching him for me to figure that out.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Buzzmansion = pieces from Castle Greystone and Barbie Dream House playsets duct taped to an old tossed out fridge

Christian (High Point, NC)

Buzz must be fat if he thinks 300 is a thin weight.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So, fred, just hop into the Delorean and plug in 1,000,001 years. Buzz will watch it with you then.

Bob (Lowell)

Counting the time to and from the airport and waiting in security the three hour drive is faster.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I actually think Buzz isn't fat, but he's one of those 6'3" 150lb computer geeks.

Marc (Charlotte)

Buzz, did you see the new KFC sandwich that is cheese and bacon between two fried chicken breasts that are used in place of a bun?

Neal (Philly)

Facebook suggested I add Rastall as a friend.

SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

Mega Millions = 325 Million. Would someone win the darn thing already......ME!

Christian (High Point, NC)

6'3" 150 lb computer geeks? Do you believe in the Tooth Fairy too, maybe the Easter Bunny? (saying this as a 6'0" 200 lb computer geek)

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, I contributed to the cheese steak sammich, too. I fried an egg and threw it in there, you know, to make it more breakfast-y.

Michelle Beadle (grossed out)

Buzz is definitely fat.

Clay (Charlotte)

Three hours is way to short to be thinking about flying...when it gets to 6 or more, that's when you look at plane tickets.

tom* (parkville, md)

I think the wonderful food his wife makes for him helps make Tom the superior chatter that he is. There's likely a message there for all Buzzchatters.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I once worked at a place where I was scheduled to go to Virginia for some training. I found a flight and went to my boss who looked at me and said, 'I think you should just make the five hour drive.' I was not a happy person.

Jordan (Peoria)

Working on a new project here at work that I cant really talk about yet, but let's just say I get to eat one of my favorite foods for research and development sake

Neal (Philly)

Is tom* trying to say I need to get married to be a better chatter?

Brian (Madison, WI)

I live next to 4 computer geeks. 2 of them are short and really fat and the other two are tall and unbelievably skinny.

stephanie (cincy)

I think it is wonderful Tom's wife cooks. I loathe it.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

What's that.. get Toms wife to cook for us too?

Clay (Charlotte)

So eggs make anything breakfast?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

According to the article, this KFC sandwich is only being test marketed in Rhode Island and Nebraska. fred, get on it, we need a review of this!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I know several computer geeks who are both tall and fat.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I'll have to say I do like to cook.

Brian's Co-Workers (Madison, WI)

We work by this guy who does nothing from 9AM - 10AM and always reeks of beer.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Buzz, it is normal for a boxer in training camp to wake up late, they try to tweak their metabolism to be in top shape around the time of the fight, so 10-11 pm

Neal (Philly)

I am neither tall nor fat.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I wish I had been pulled over by the spelling police last night as opposed to the PA State Patrol. Only goin 15 mph over. Jerk. He needs to lay off the donuts as well.

Buzzmaster

  (10:16 AM)

"Only" 15 over? I'd say that's prime pull over zone.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I like cooking too, but I don't get to do it as much since my wife is home before I am.

Matt Damon (Buzz's House)

Shut up Buzz! Go fix me a turkey pot pie!

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

I loathe myself right now. I actually think your new movie looks funny, Damon.

Matt (IN)

15 over can be reckless driving, at least here in Indiana.

Brian (Madison, WI)

J.B. I also got pulled over for going 15 over last Thursday. Who makes 30 mph zones on borderline country roads.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

So you're doing 80 in a 65?

Marc (Charlotte)

I like to employ the 10% rule. If you do 10% over the stated speed limit you usually end up ok.

Pete (NC)

I knew it was going to be a good FFL draft last night when the first overall pick was Peyton Manning.

Dave (vt)

There was a guy here who was getting Mcdonalds at 430 in the morning and passed out in his car waiting in the drive thru, so the police came and arrested him for dui.

stephanie (cincy)

Off at 12 today. Taking my son to see "Taking Woodstock" Nothing says you're old like seeing you teen age years as nostalgia for the next generation.

chaz (Sa tx)

i feel ya J.B got pulled over also. but this cop was short and skinny, had to look down from my suv. pig.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I did not get pulled over for doing 15 MPH over the speed limit. That would be fake J.B.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I got pulled over for going 20 over and the cop said he was "doing me a favor" only giving me a ticket for 5 over. I never know how to react in that situation. I usually just say "Thanks?"

Clay (Charlotte)

I had a friend that got a ticket for 100mph in a 55, in a work zone, in the rain...so that's speeding, reckless endangerment, speeding in a construction zone, driving too fast for conditions...he didn't have a license for a while.

Cory (PA)

What do the British call English muffins? Is it a football/soccer type thing?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Stay classy, chaz.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Yes, Tom, do say thanks. I think the further over you are, the more expensive the ticket, and he might have even saved you from a reckless driving charge.

Brian (Madison, WI)

First Steph is slipping c-domes into her son's dresser drawer and now taking him to see a Woodstock movie. He's going to be well on the path to pulling Nate and Brian's all the time.

Marc (Big D)

Matt, if 15 over is reckless driving in Indiana I-65 is the reckless driving superhighway.

Marc (Charlotte)

I was pulled over by my D.A.R.E. officer once. He laughed at me.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

chaz, the guy with garbage all over his floor on a regular basis, calls someone else a pig. Classic.

mogoose (boise)

where's the coverage of the Little League World Series!!!!!!! Did you see that game last night! One of the best I've ever seen!

Pete (NC)

I was in the car when my buddy got his first speeding ticket. 96 in a 70. He didn't really know to just shut up and take it, so after a little lip the cop took him back to his cruiser. It was only funny because it wasn't me in the cruiser getting cursed out.

Neal (Philly)

I drove through Indiana on I 90. That has to be the most boring drive I've done so far. At least the speed limit is 70 until you get close to Chicago.

Jordan (Peoria)

Is that supposed to be mongoose or more goose?

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Off at 3. Have to tickets to triple A game that was scheduled to have Tim Hudson against Jake Peavy. Atlanta brought Hudson up early and Peavy has a sore hamstring so neither is playing. Awesome.

Marc (Charlotte)

Obviously if you saw the game last night there was coverage, so quit complaining.

Maverick (Top Gun)

GOOSE!!!!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Fake J.B. may have gotten a speeding ticket, but I actually did get a warning last week for driving too fast for conditions. Driving too fast in fog? Seriously? Shouldn't they be worried about keeping Brian and Nate off the roads?

Jordan (Peoria)

I hate Indiana...I was nailed doing 70 on a 2 lane country highway at 11:00 at night. They had set a speed trap up at 11:00 on a country highway! WTF

Christian (High Point, NC)

Caught speeding twice, once in 1994 (PA) and once in 2004 (NC, but I got it down to an "improper equipment" citation). I'm going to start watching my driving more in 5 years.

stephanie (cincy)

I can't believe that some people are stupid enough to give a cop lip, especially a trooper, they don't play

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

I agree with Real J.B. You can't see anything in fog driving slow or fast. So, why not drive fast?

Clay (Charlotte)

Can we get the ONB before the cops find out we're talking bad about them?

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

Let's do it....

Matt (East Hartford via Albany) [via mobile]

Buzz, I'm playing Topstone tomorrow if you wanna come.

Mike Gene (Charllotte, NC)

Is John Wall really the no. 1 pick in the 2010 draft?

Bill (Chi-town)

I have a keeper league and need to decide on who to keep. Currently I have Westbrook, Witten and D. Bowe to decide from. Any suggestions on who I should keep?

Mike Gene (Charllotte, NC)

Will the Bobcats make the NBA playoffs this year?

matt (jones)

you guys said that the texas rangers havent been to playoffs since 1989 wrong!!! im a huge rangers fan try 1998

Mike Gene (Charllotte, NC)

Is Michael Jordan a good GM?

ERICK (TAMPA)

MIKE VICK HAD A OK DEBUT..I WAS IMPRESSED..BUT I THINK THE SAME THING THAT HAPPEN WITH T.O. IS GOING TO HAPPIN WITH VICK...JUST LOOK MCNABB IS ALREDY STARTED ARGUING WITH HIM..LETS SEE WHAT HAPPINS LATER THIS SEASON

Mike Gene (Charllotte, NC)

Why is Gerald Wallace so underrated?

James Avant (Las Vegas, NV)

Viking players are calling Favre a old guy with inferior talent to Jackson. After Tarvaris Jackson's 158 quarterback rating last week, If brett Favre looks 40 Monday night the rest of the team will agree the old guy has inferior talent.

Col. Nathan Jessep (Gitmo)

MBers, we live in a world that has chats and those chats need to be monitored by men with computers. Who's gonna do it? You Nate? You Clinton? Buzz has a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the ONB and curse ESPN. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; Buzz's existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to you saves Chats. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want Buzz in this chat. You need Buzz in this chat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:25 AM)

And that's it....

Tom (Peoria)

Big weekend coming up. I am going to well.... nevermind I don't have anything exciting going on.

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I'm surprised a 15 year old will be seen out with his Mom, or are you just dropping him off?

Clay (Charlotte)

First of all, Mike Gene? You have two first names, like Rickey Bobby. Second, thanks for misspelling Charlotte and making us all look bad.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

We all need to chip in and buy Mike Gene a membership to Match.com. The guy clearly needs a girlfriend.

Cory (PA)

I'm afeared of Col. Jessup.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a Bobcats fan if people like Mike Gene from "Charllotte" also are.

Marc (Charlotte)

Mike Gene was really in a thoughtful mood last night.

Pete (NC)

I call shenanigans on Mike Gene. No one in Charlotte even knows we have an NBA team.

David (Banning)

I'm here, the chat may start!

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Gooooooooooood morning!

Neal (Philly)

I'm celebrating my birthday tomorrow night. I just hope I don't pull a Nate and Brian.

Matt (IN)

Bravo to the Col Jessep post.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Oddly enough, JB thinks Michael Jordan is underrated as a GM.

Dave (vt)

The drinking starts tomorrow on the course at 930, the continues through our fantasy draft and at the bars later that night.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

So we have an hour to chat from right now? 11:27, here we come!

Danny Shelton Wa [via mobile]

how do you think aroan curry will do with the seahawks

Michael Jordan (17th green)

Hell I don't even know we have a basketball team in Charlotte. Watch me sink this putt...

Matt (East Hartford via Albany) [via mobile]

Come on, Buzz, I sent that at like 10:03

Buzzmaster

  (10:28 AM)

Not on my clock.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Golf, fantasy draft, then going to the bars. We all hate you Dave (vt)...happy?

Coach Cal (Lexington)

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get John Wall to pass his SAT?

Buzzmaster

  (10:30 AM)

Just 1) have someone else take the test for him 2) get him on the team, win some games anyway.

Rick Pitino (Louisville)

No but I have a great restaurant recommendation

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Whatever you do coach, do not get caught!

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Coach Cal, ask Derrick Rose to sub for him

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Seahawk with Curry sauce? Yum.

Clay (Charlotte)

Well the SATs aren't pass/fail. You might want him to score better, but you can't pass the SATs.

Don (San Francisco)

Apparently Derek Jeter has finally settled down. I didn't think it was possible to get burned out on hot girls, but there you go.

Clay (Charlotte)

Aroan? I let out agroan when I saw that...haha, I'm clever.

JB (TX)

FYI, I don't think Jordan is an overrated GM. I think it's universally understood he's terrible at that job.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

There was a guy at the SWB Yankees game last night who got upset with the catering for the party box so rather than trying to handle it like an adult (he's 40) the clown decided to take last year's championship trophy and smash it to the ground. Yep, that trip behind bars will teach those SWB Yankee caterers.

Cory (PA)

If someone named their kid 'Awesome Sauce [surname]' how would the kids life turn out?

Matt (East Hartford via Albany) [via mobile]

All I know is the chat had started. Irregardless, the offer stands (how is that possible?)

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Can we get a flag from Hochuli on Clay for laughing at his own joke, and a turribull one at that?

stephanie (cincy)

We are going together. It's the middle of day, the chances of him seeing any friends from school is pretty low, so the embarrassment level is pink

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

I must say I do look forward to Kentucky failing to win a title and thier fans going insane.

Cory (PA)

Mike Gundy was at a Yankees game?

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Anyone else catch Jared Allen's response to a question about a "schism" in the Vike's locker room. Leader in the clubhouse for quote of the year.

Mike Gundy (Stillwater)

That's a complete joke! That guy is 40! He's a man! Leave him alone! Come after me!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

I refuse to go insane.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Irregardless is not a word.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Why is there preseason football?

The Suits (Bristol)

Irregardless of what anyone says, Buzz, with all due respect, to be honest you just aren't doing that great of a job. We're just not into you. We're hiring this new guy named fred. He's from omaha.

Pete (NC)

Clinton, that depends on what your definition of 'is' is.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I didn't realize insanity was a choice. If it is, you've got a HUGE choice to explain, Buzz.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I not only expected Mike Gundy quotes, I was hoping for them.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

Irregardless, that's a double negative in the same word. Interesting

David (Banning)

misremembered=Irregardless

chaz (sa tx)

Irregardless if it is a word or not it still makes sense

JB (TX)

There is preseason football so we have something to talk about btwn the end of basketball and the beginning of real football. Also, so the owners can jam fans up for 2 extra games at full prices.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Pete, I saw what you did there. Not bad, sir, not bad.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

You should never make up words. That's inexplicacuseable!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Geez I'm trying to pronounce that.

David (Banning)

We must remember Clinton had the first dictionary!

Jordan (Peoria)

That is a travishamockery that someone is making up words....Burgerflickle!

Buzzmaster

  (10:39 AM)

You want a burger with pickles? That sounds good. I'll take one too.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

I wish the Gundy rant could be turned into a Coors Light ad. Stupid NCAA and its fight to stop underage drinking.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Inexplicacuseable? Dang legal mumbo-jumbo

Buzzmaster

  (10:41 AM)

Speaking of lawyers....I was reading a piece of fiction and these two lawyers went out to lunch and one said, "I know exactly which client we can bill this lunch to," while they didn't talk about that client at lunch. Question: Does this happen in real life?

JB (TX)

Buzz meant he'll take 8 burgers w/pickles.

Marc (Big D)

The NCAA fighting underage drinking is like Buzz trying to lose weight. Ain't gonna happen.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Who didnt drink when they were underage?

Pete (NC)

Speaking of, I grilled some burgers last night. Most definitely my best burger ever.

Don (San Francisco)

I saw the BK commercial belittling the Big Mac. I don't like BK, but it was a pretty good spot.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

No pickles for me, Jordan. Never have liked those things.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

MMMM....a burgerflickle sounds good right now. No idea what it is, but the combiniation of syllables sounds tasty.

Clay (Charlotte)

Buzz, did you read the article about the minor league team having a What Would Tim Tebow Do night?

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

I did.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Fact: Lawyers are crooks and that does happen in real life. Guarantee it.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Ummmm, never, Buzz. Never.

Buzzmaster

  (10:42 AM)

I'm not sure I like that response. Can't tell if you're serious or not.

stephanie (cincy)

Clay, I may puke after reading that

Hayden (Logan, UT)

I didnt drink when I was underage, I didnt drink wiskey.

Marc (Big D)

Buzz, The Associate by Grisham?

Buzzmaster

  (10:43 AM)

Wow, that's good. Yup, that's the one.

Clay (Charlotte)

Tom, can a lawyer get charged with perjury...wait, nevermind.

Don (San Francisco)

Buzz, Tom must be a good lawyer, then.

David (Banning)

Ok Buzz, the boss is right behind me. I need to leave 2 hours early today. He (and I'm serious)says that if you say its ok to leave he will let me.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

You know I'm all for people not working.

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Inexplicacuseable might be the greatest word ever typed.

stephanie (cincy)

Buzz, remember what Shakespeare said about lawyers: "First let's kill all the lawyers"

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Yeah, yeah, I've heard them all. What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

So, we have a few lawyers in here. What's the answer? You don't have to say that you do it, but do others do it?

JB (TX)

I didn't drink in high school but did in college. I had an awful, McLovin-like fake ID that said I was born on Christmas Day, yet it never failed me.

stephanie (cincy)

Before the movie, we are going to sample the new Angus Burger at McDonald's. Ed, no penalty for posting lunch too soon. Burgers were the topic.

Pete (NC)

Speaking of crooks, our former governor's wife was given a position at NCSU making $170k/yr for basically doing nothing. You gotta love politicians.

David (Banning)

Your the man Buzz, have a great weekend everyone. I must get some work done. Peace

Pete (NC)

That reminds me of the joke about God being unable to sue Satan because all the lawyers were in....well, you know.

stephanie (cincy)

Why won't sharks kill lawyers? Professional courtesy

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

There are strict guidelines against billing for time not incurred on a file. But I'm sure it is done, Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

Obviously it was fiction and the one lawyer and his firm were made out to be slime, but I was curious if that happens. Not to mention having those stereotypes out there and perpetuated in things like that has got to be frustrating.

Buzzmaster

  (10:48 AM)

I face the same thing in being a chat host.

stephanie (cincy)

"The Firm" over billing clients on their times sheets is how Tom Cruise brought them down.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

If you're caught billing for time not spent, you could get severely sanctioned, even disbarred, so it's really a terrible idea.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Risk your legal license or a client relationship for a free lunch. That's just not smart.

Cory (PA)

I was shocked at how tasty the Angus Burger at McDonald's was...It didn't taste entirely like garbage with thousand island dressing on top.

Clay (Charlotte)

The devil visited a lawyer's office and made him an offer. "I can arrange some things for you, " the devil said. "I'll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you'll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity."The lawyer thought for a moment. "What's the catch?" he asked.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

So if you bring to file with you at lunch...

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Now for extra credit, stephanie: Which Shakespeare play does it come from?

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Perpetuated, Buzz? Come on...it's Friday. Keep the words to one syllable please. Thank you. Sincerely, SN.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I don't really care about the stereotypes or the jokes. No lawyer really cares about that stuff. At least none that I've met.

Matt (IN)

A Prof and his wife (who was the director of the daycare) at a university here just got busted for pot. Street value of $44k. The guy even had some in his office. They are in their 60s.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Is this a Mcdondald sponsored chat?

Buzzmaster

  (10:50 AM)

No more than Wendy's or Arby's or Subway or ...

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Actually, we do bill for having lunches, if its with a witness or client or we discuss the case extensively at the lunch. But we don't when the lunch is not business related at all.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I read about that, Matt. Unbefrickinlievable.

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

It was probably Purdue.

Clay (Charlotte)

Lunch: Pizza Buffet

Brian (Madison, WI)

Lunch: McDonald's for obvious reasons.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch chat! Running up to Costco, so free samples and a slice of pizza for lunch.

Marc (Charlotte)

Sponsors for this chat? You can not be serious. We barely have chatters.

Don (San Francisco)

I'll have to say the software engineer stereotypes aren't any better.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Lunch: Angus burger sounds good. Or maybe a burgerfrickle.

Cory (PA)

In their defense, the school has an excellent agricultural program.

Louis (Fredericton, NB)

SN doesn't endorse any fast food. However, SN suggest that you use a toyota to go at the drive-thru of the said fast food restaurant

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

There was a greenhouse here (open to the public) that just got busted for growing pot in the greenhouse.

Anthony (NY)

Lunch: wahatever my temp gets me, as I am boss for the day.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Either Jimmy John's or Arby's.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Sammich, chips and drinks at the golf course. (No billing any clients for this afternoon . . . honest!)

Marc (Big D)

Ouch, Buzz. Purdue Alum here.

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Was trying to get a rise out of the alums in the room. But it didn't work. All I get is this:

Clinton (Indianapolis)

No, Buzz. At Purdue the student points a gun at his roommate for a gag and accidentally shoots and kills him.

Brian (Madison, WI)

Whenever a lawyer says honest it can never mean it's the truth.

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Holding out until 2pm, then we have a company cookout. Thank god it's friday, I'm craving a drink. Usually that's a joke, but this week has a been a long one and I really do want one.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Marc's a Boilermaker, too? Alright!

Brian (Madison, WI)

Weekend plans: I'm moving this weekend, but tonight I'm headed over to Nate's apartment to pull a Nate and Brian while watching the Packers game.

Cory (PA)

Lunch: Probably the Angus as I'm easily manipulated.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Man, I am in the wrong city, greenhouses? Babysitters?

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Being an IU law grad, love the Purdue digs. Keep up the good work, Buzz!

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Lunch: Fried fish, slaw, hushpuppies and fries, unsweet tea.

Vincent Vega (Pulp Fiction)

Lunch: Royale with cheese.

Somewhere there is a lawyer crying to himself in a dark room because he cant take the jokes anymore.

Nate (Madison)

Weekend Plans: Apparently Brian is coming over to my apt?

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: No idea, my lunch was moved from 1 to 11, which is pretty much now, and I just had breakfast. Pulse I tell you.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Wish I was joking about that, Buzz. It happened last weekend.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Peace out, SN!! Enjoy the rest of your Canadian Saturday. P.S. My real lunch will just be an apple and a few pretzels. Wife says "I could shed a few" Can't argue I guess.

Christian (High Point, NC)

I've had the angus at McD's, I just wish that it hadn't been decided to slap Swiss cheese on any burger with Mushrooms. Why couldn't it have been provolone or another cheese that I like?

Anthony (NY)

weekend plans: Yankee game on Friday, try outs for fall baseball on Saturday, but that's likely to be cancelled because of pouring rain for whole week..

Clay (Charlotte)

At least you found out about it beforehand Nate.

Marc (Big D)

Clinton, was John Purdue a nice guy?

Matt (MI)

good point

Marc (Big D)

Until Monday, Buzznation.

Clay (Charlotte)

Bravo Marc.

Nate's Apartment (Madison)

I don't know about the weekend, but I'm definitely going to need to be hosed down on Monday

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Going out to eat with my son this weekend, it's his b-day.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

*laughs* Well played, Marc.

Anthony (NY)

Till Monday; stay classy Sportsnation

Don (San Francisco)

Weekend: Maybe heading over to a street food fair in Oakland. I'd invite you too, Buzz, but I think they have 5 item limits per stand. And... your fat?

Robbi (Clinton Ky)

Have a wonderful weekend. Bye y'all.

Mike Golic (ESPN)

POTROAST!!!

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Buzz, what are you drinking tonight?

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

I was thinking maybe a Long Island Ice Tea or a summer beer.

Jordan (Peoria)

Lunch: Thinking about dinner at a great Mexican place...smothered burrito mmm

Christian (High Point, NC)

Highs in the 70s next week Buzz. Fall is coming!

Nate (Madison)

High of 71 today, 69 tomorrow, 68 Sunday. Boooooooo Mother Nature.

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Agreed.

tom* (parkville, md)

Enjoy the weekend, Buzzchatters. Stay dry, Atlantic Coasters.

CAL (St. Paul, MN)

Have a good one Buzz.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Why is everyone saying Bye? Don't we have 4 minutes left?

Buzzmaster

  (10:58 AM)

Yes.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

I think it's going to be a low-key kind of weekend for me: Just go see a couple movies, play some video games on the couch, stuff like that.

Hayden (Logan, UT)

Very nice

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Interesting chat week, Buzz Nation. I'm looking for a good lawyer to help me with a restraining order. Any takers? Seriously have a great weekend, get out, and have some fun. Kids head back to school here on Monday so we want to give them a great final summer weekend. Be safe and catch you all back here Monday. Later.

Brian (Madison, WI)

I haven't decided what I'm drinking tonight, whatever looks good in the liquor store I guess.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Since I have no idea what he's talking about, I'll just assume that "very nice" was directed to me.

Mike (Belvidere, IL)

Stay thirsty, SN.

Anthony (NY)

Clinton's old so how does he know how to play videogames?

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

Haven't you heard about how the Wii is the biggest things at these senior centers now?

Nate (Madison)

Well, everyone have a safe and fun weekend....check ya later

Christian (High Point, NC)

And by "liquor store" Brian means "Nate's fridge"

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Have a fun, safe, and most importantly, classy weekend!

Buzzmaster

  (11:01 AM)

all right everyone. Thanks for stopping by. We'll be back on Monday. Until then, have an awesome weekend! Don't get arrested or at least get bailed out by Monday morning so we can chat. Stay classy SportsNation!

Matt (MI)

ihateyou

Christian (High Point, NC)

Everyone have a great weekend! 12 days until The Beatles:Rock Band comes out!

Bryan charlotte nc [via mobile]

Baseball game tonight. Movie Saturday afternoon. Panthers Ravens game Sat night. Playing golf Sunday. Good weekend.

Matt (East Hartford via Albany) [via mobile]

That's a wrap. Have good weekend and stay crazy, BN!

Don't let the arthritis fool you, Anthony. I can play a mean fake guitar.
