I turned the game off with 2 minutes to go and I haven't caught any of the post game stuff yet
I had to go take a walk. Hue Jackson is awful as a game coach…..Tom Cable got fired for going 8-8 and at least he didn’t make one of the worst trades in NFL history.
I won’t pretend I watched a lot of Giants games last year so I can’t say how good he may or may not be but I’m at the point where I want to see the A’s play the kids.
But I think when you have Tebow as your QB, there’s only so much you can do offensively, so the opposing defense should have an easier week of preparation.
Thing is, the 49ers offense has very little room for error. If teams load up the box to stop Gore, their only chance is to protect Smith and give him time to find a receiver. He needs as much time as he can get, because he can be maddeningly slow to get rid of the ball.
Bloomie was furious (at N***) over on FK last night
Never seen him like that about anything. He did tone down the worst of it (Edit feature!!). He’s surely done as a front page guy over here but leaving the Lounge…I don’t know why he’d even consider that.
And we were in the middle of a heated argument. I’ll admit, it wasn’t the right thing to say. I was getting frustrated that he was repeating the same thing, essentially, without actually refuting anything I said. ANyway, not the point. The point is, I was pissed that I got a strike.
I agree with Bed....I don't think it's gonna work. Not sure it's needed. Meta is gonna be around whatever the "rules" are
the only thing that will work is self-policing I think – that’s what was put into place and it seemed to be OK. Banning should perhaps be by committee?
Not much, but there are more 49ers fans here than you might think.
Before the Panthers came along, the 49ers were really popular in this area. So the older generation still likes them.
The “Who’s got it better than us?” thing I kinda like, though, because instead of focusing on all the things that could go wrong, they focus on what they have going for them.
And NE, NO, and Baltimore. But that’s beside the point. Harbaugh needed to give the team some confidence. I don’t take it as an arrogant chant, but I’m obviously biased. I take it not as “We’re better than everyone else,” but rather as “If we play our game, we can play with anyone.” And I think that’s true.
Fuck all of this fucking bullshit…….The Raiders Defense can kiss my ass, what a fucking god awful day…….I am so tired and worn out with sports right now, I’m ready to tell them all to just go to hell…..
I dontr really have a probelm with Carson Palmer....I dont have a problem with our offense...
But goddammit how as a defensive player in this league, with the crowd going nuts after you damn near caused a safety on the kickoff and pinned the team at the one inch line do you then let them pick up 20 f’n yards on the very next play and then just let them march right down the field…..Jesus!!!
But more recently, other teams are keying in on the run and trying to force Smith to beat them. He managed to do it against the Rams, and just barely against the Seahawks. He failed against the Ravens and Cards. He holds on to the ball too long, and he isn’t accurate enough.
And seriously.....it was so loud in the coliseum at that moment.....the mometum had totally swung our way..for like 30 seconds then boom you give up a 20 yard pass....and then a 40 yard draw up the middle...WTF?????
Palmer’s the QB for the foreseeable future, for better or for worse. And for what it’s worth, I think he’ll do better with a full training camp under his belt.
Speaking of Orton – it doesn’t help that he gave the Chiefs the entire playbook. I don’t know if any other eyeballs noticed, but that Chiefs defense knew exactly where and what the offense was doing. The secondary in particular which would look at a formation and immediately head off into the intended route (prior to the snap).
One time we had a boy come in with he foot partially severed.
The accepting doctor asked for a photo to see what he was going to be dealing with. I had to send the photos on my phone, and ended up keeping the photo. I almost went apeshit when I found out my phone automatically deletes photos after a certain period of time.
Similar worlds, except in my timeline, Billy Beane took the scholarship instead of the money, the Giants moved to Tampa, and every Friday in America is Liquor and Chocolate Day.
Then I got involved in a space-time accident with Patrick Stewart and a box of antacids, and now I’m trapped here.
….so yeah I think I’m still hungover from last night.
The whole theory is based on the thought that the Mayan calendar ends this year. Which it might not even do. And even if it does, so what? Our calendar ends every year, on December 31st, and the world doesn’t end.
Some Guatemalan experts on Mayan civilization, who said that there’s absolutely nothing about the world ending in the Mayan calendar and everyone needs to chill out.
it’s just the end of the last epoch, or “baktun,” as they termed it — after which they proscribed no further history back when their calendar was made centuries and centuries ago. This is not necessarily the equivalent of the “end of the world,” that’s just the Western penchant for sensationalistic posturing where sober rendering of facts is required. If it bleeds, it leads. Apocalypse sells.
I interpret it as being that the Maya didn’t see linear history beyond the end of 2012 because they couldn’t have conceived of things becoming more and more non-linear and accelerated, as we have seen in our lifetimes leading up to the end of this year. I think their calendar doesn’t “end” so much as indicate the onset of a kind of obsolescence for calendars and what we perceive as linear time in general.
People interested in this topic should check out Terrence McKenna’s “Timewave Zero” and Novelty theories, which are mathematical constructs based on what would or could be considered “events of novelty” throughout known Human history and how they seem to form a pattern of greater and greater duplicative (but ever-condensing) repetition over history…. his calculations (he died about 12 years ago) coincide with the end of the 13th baktun of the Maya almost to the day, at which time McKenna calculated that an event of supreme or utmost novelty would be due to occur which would be transformative in a way or ways our linear & narrow reality-perceptions would have no or little frame of reference to immediately accommodate.
What that event or events might be is anyone’s guess, ranging from ET contact to solar flares immolating us to who knows what.
One of the experts said something like “Hey, maybe folks in the US could start being concerned about climate change instead of exploiting our culture for doomsday scenarios.”
but today my kid kept cooing the entire 1st half and I was just enamored by the whole thing…..as much as I love my Raiders it doesn’t hurt as much as it did when I was a kid.
You know, when kids say “When am I ever gonna use this?” You, as the teacher, could say “Every Friday night at the shitty bar you hang out at, trying to drink away your miserable, dead end life.”
For a guy with a math major, I was pretty awful at geometry. I hated geometry. I hated differential geometry. And if Riemann were alive, I’d go kick his ass.
Pretty sure they have places to shoot guns in SC, though. Southerners love their guns. In fact, there’s still a law on the books requiring men to carry guns to church in case of Indian attack.
The Founding Fathers were looking to create a nation with a completely different form of government, for one thing. Also, the Southern states had the same legal status as the Northern states, while the colonies were treated differently from England itself.
Fuck the Giants!
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
When did you get thread powers?
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
Few weeks ago
and hello!
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Hello!
Romo’s hand looks gross!
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
I haven't seen a closeup
Not sure if I want to.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
They showed it before the game.
Swollen and yellowish green.
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
Sadly
his hand isn’t even the first thing wrong with this team. Damn, this looks like it’s going to be ugly.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Hi.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
hi
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
I heard there was some nasty shit up in here.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
what happened to it?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Got it stuck in his purse.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
So he is like Mark Sanchez
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Hand contusion last week
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
No....FUCK THE RAIDERS
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I like how Hue threw the team under the bus
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I turned the game off with 2 minutes to go and I haven't caught any of the post game stuff yet
I had to go take a walk. Hue Jackson is awful as a game coach…..Tom Cable got fired for going 8-8 and at least he didn’t make one of the worst trades in NFL history.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
this
The whole coaching staff needs to go after this abomination of a season.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Our wonderful DC should be deported....I'm down on Jackson but my guess is he's back.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Bresnahan should've been fired after the Lions game - at the latest
doctorK - January 1, 2012
REC'D!☺
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
That was a weird fumble.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
It's quite slippery out there
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
how so?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
How it shot back to Manning.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I was going to post how I feel about the Raiders but I'll wait two weeks instead...oh and Hue Jackson you're still banned.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I was watching the Patriots game with Jesa and Gus today
New England fell 21-0… and then came back to win. Clearly Dallas is just going for a dramatic comeback… right?
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
That's the Patriots move.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
stresses me out.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I have something you want
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Meow...?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
A cat no
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
a puppy?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
a pizza
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
i'm having one tooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Yeah well at least your team wins
my team last won when I was in the 4th grade.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
babe, i'm sorry. i understand. :( that is so not fun. (
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Good luck in the playoffs....your boys have a shot.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
i am not feeling good about it. but thank you, bed. that means a lot. i know how much you hate my team!
Athletica - January 1, 2012
nah....I don't hate the Patriots...I admire how they go about their business
I only hate the Broncos and the Chiefs.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Can the Cowboys borrow Brady?
Please?
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
yes.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Can Belichick come with him?
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
I'd sell my soul if I had one for Belichick and Brady to come to the Raiders.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
FUCK NO.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Just for the second half
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
nope.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I got stuck with the Jets game and the Saints.
Then I fell alseep during the KC game.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
did kc win?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Yes.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
woo.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I really hate sports at the moment.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Me to for pretty much the same reasons, weird
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Tebow was god awful today
I think the “magic” has run it’s course.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Newsflash, keep him in the pocket and he can't do anything
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I think most of us knew this outside of some defensive coordinators
he’s a fullback who lines up at quarterback.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
This is his QB totals for the last 3
30/73 439 4 int 1 TD
Matt Flynn was better TODAY
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Matt Flynn is going to make some money of his performance today
they said on TV he’s a FA….not sure since I don’t totally trust what the guys on TV say anymore.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yup, He is the new Matt Cassel
Franchise ??? profit is the Packers want to
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I LOVED CLIPBOARD MATTY.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Has anyone had a luckier career arc?
Backup at SC. Backup in New England. Gets a big contract for one season of work.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
PLUS HE LOOKED CUTE
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Yeah I don't know if the Packers need the tag for someone else or not
Green Bay is in position to be good for years to come.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
They do if they want to get something for him
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I just don't know if they need the tag for one of their starters.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That I don't know, I'd have to ask my friend
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I'll be up on the off-season stuff soon
my team has to play the FA market since we have no draft picks to speak of.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
5th round is first pick right?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
We might get a conditional 3rd for Asomugha
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Forgot about that and Miller and someone else
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Miller we won't get anything for because we signed Kevin Boss.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
My "favorite" thing today....I said Pick Six Palmer hadn't been too bad today and then BOOM....interception on the next throw.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Biggie has hops.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
RIP
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I want the Raiders to hire an actual GM and let him decide everyone's fate
but not matter what Chuck Bresnahan must go.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
The only good news is now I don't have to watch the damn Raiders until September.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yup
I know how you feel right now.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
is there a daric barton playing football?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I'm sure at least one of them have dove head first into the shallow end of the pool.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
truth
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Terrance Newman is playing like he did
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Mark Sanchez.....you're a backup....Matt Flynn....480 yards and 6 TD's...sure why not?
Tim Tebow…..you’ll be great doing college football on TV…..Drew Brees….you’re amazing
Bed. - January 1, 2012
My former BFF was in love with jimmy graham.
I hate him now. I’d root for the Saints it he wasn’t there.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
He's a stud.....there are some really good young TE's in the game right now.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Tony. Gonzalez.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
The best ever
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Hawt
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
I am still angry the Chiefs.... I can't say it.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
GRONK.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
The best right now
Bed. - January 1, 2012
♥ i love my gronkenstein.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
He's really good
those two TE’s you guys have are something.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
goodhernandez?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Hernandez is really good too.....most teams would love to have him.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
who were you talking about?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Aaron Hernandez and Gronkowski
Bed. - January 1, 2012
when you said "hernandez is really good too"....i thought you were saying there was someone else. ;)
Athletica - January 1, 2012
It would be too much if they had 3 great young TE's
Bed. - January 1, 2012
it would be hawt, though
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Yeah...I'd like to just have one.
It would also be nice if McFadden could stay healthy and the Bengals would take Pick Six Palmer back.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
if you could choose, would you take gronk or goodhernd, and why?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Oh Gronk easy
he’s the better player….he’s perfect for that offense and he’s only going to get better.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
♥
Athletica - January 1, 2012
kinky
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
He's an unfortunate looking man.
OldhamA - January 2, 2012
see above
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
DOUG FREE... as free as the wind blows.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Oh shit
Jerry is on suicide watch.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Is his face lift holding up?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
No, he looks wrecked.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
The Cowboys are hard to figure out....on paper it should work but it never seems to.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Doing the pats lets spot the opponent 21 thing is all
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
what did i miss?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Dallas is down 21-0 at halftime
The defense looks like the Pats’
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
My team's defense didn't cause a team that came in with 7 wins to punt once in the entire game.
But at least we set the all time penalty record.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You know Jennifer you aren't the first woman from Missouri to flip me off.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Damn.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I've never had a woman flip me off. What's it like?
WaddellCanseco - January 1, 2012
I usually deserved it.....but once or twice it was pretty hot as I knew it would lead to making up if you know what I mean.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yes I do.
WaddellCanseco - January 1, 2012
Bittery masturbating?
doctorK - January 1, 2012
there's nothing like it.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I'm saving that for later tonight.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
does that like involve a lemon?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Hydrofluoric acid
doctorK - January 1, 2012
The Lions. LOL
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Their defense is not good...Gunther Cunningham must be going nuts.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I loved that out of the top 8 all time penalized teams 6 of them were Raiders teams.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Commitment to Consistency
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Just get flagged, baby.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Sounds like PT
Maybe we just found their new GM
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Ha!
Bed. - January 1, 2012
His press conferences would amuse me
WaddellCanseco - January 1, 2012
Cody Ross....really?
Is Hue Jackson the A’s new GM?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
DO NOT WANT
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
It makes no sense.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Did we sign him?
(it kinda does)
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
talking to him, no it doesn't if you want to find out what you have
between Cowgill, Mitchell, Reddick, Taylor, and Allen
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Billy already said Taylor starts at AAA
Probably same with Mitchell.
It’s a way of converting cash into prospects, circumventing the draft
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Mitchell won't be healthy anyway just saying he is in the mix once he is
But how, Ross won’t fetch anything better then a Ladendorf down the line imp
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Ok fine
He’s a way we hit the salary floor
We can’t pay all our players in pesos.
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Which is why I think they should go after a SP or two
or make a serious run at Soler
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Which starters are available
That are reasonable?
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Oswalt, Webb, Jackson, Duke to name a few
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Oswalt has no reason to come here
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
If we give him a Sheets contract he might
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
speaking of which he should be healthy
at some point this year right?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I just read what Blez wrote.....I guess the A's are looking at him.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Shouldn't they avert their eyes?
WaddellCanseco - January 1, 2012
That would be my advice
I won’t pretend I watched a lot of Giants games last year so I can’t say how good he may or may not be but I’m at the point where I want to see the A’s play the kids.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Huh?

Er, meant "you"
How was your nye?

FKin' Raiders
doctorK - January 1, 2012
yes fucking raiders
Also if I was the Pats or Ravens I would be upset that the Steelers get a bye week too.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I think I'm going to print out Chuck Bresnahan's face and chip golf balls at it.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
If I had a son who was potty-training, I'd use his face as a piss target
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Here come the 'boys
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Woo!
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Pump yer brakes, Ric Flair
Still a big comeback :-P
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Where the hell was this team in the first half?
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Lulling the G-men into a false sense of security
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Fuck
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
DeMarcus Cousins seems to be a brat.
I need new teams.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
~
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
i'm glad i'm part of the offensive coaching staff.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Even Rod Woodson?....hmm that would be a surprise
What I want to know is who is in charge of the team….does Hue get to make these calls?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
He is the top football guy, I assume it is him
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
It's going to be an interesting off-season.
What big time DC would want to coach under Jackson who has to be on thin ice.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Who is gonna fire him, himself?
Until Davis puts his stamp on this team Hue is running the show.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
If Mark doesn't hire an actual GM this team is screwed.
The thing is no one and I mean no one has a clue what Mark is going to do.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That is just it, no one has any idea what is going through his head.
Hell tomorrow morning he could be like I’m selling the team.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
My understanding is that his Mom is the one who "owns" their share of the club
but that’s the thing the Raiders were Al’s little kingdom and clearly there wasn’t a good plan in place for his death.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It had something to do with the estate tax iirc
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Right...when Mrs. Davis dies the whole thing could get messy
the Raiders are either going to have to move in with the 49ers or someone in LA will buy them is my guess.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
If I'm Bloom I go back to being a Bengals fan....the uniforms are hideous but their future is brighter than the Raiders
Especially since they have our picks.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It probably speaks poorly of me that I get more angry and fired up over the Raiders than anything happening in politics at the moment.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
i think how polite you were to me proves your complete sweetness :)
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I always try to be polite and have fresh, minty breath.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
you are hard to no be polite too
also you are strong
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
truth &heart;
Athletica - January 1, 2012
fuck. now i am NOT MAKING A HEART (except for in my mind)

How is his cartooning?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
wtf first I'm hearing of this
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Really?....that seems to be happening a lot lately.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Doesn't sound too bad
linky
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I will say this our kickers rock and they rock hard.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Andrew Bailey's twitter picture
Is now him in a Red Sox cap. That’s not fun to see.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Well, he's probably pretty happy about it.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
closer to home too
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Yeah
I imagine I’d be pretty excited to go from a tugboat to a cruise ship.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
If I was a player I'd want to play for either the Yanks or the Sox.....you know you have a chance every year.
and those teams pay top dollar which is most important thing to a player.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
And yet Cliff Lee chose the Phillies

His wife is pretty fired up too.

It made me ill.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Fuck Boston.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Yeah outside of More than a Feeling they weren't much of a band.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Making us wait eight years for their next album - assholes
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Now it's time to begin Raiders withdrawls.....as much as they kill me I'll miss the hell out of watching them play.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I can easily do without more games like today's travesty
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I know but I still love them even though I know they'll always break my heart.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Go for it!
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
erm nm
though looked like the Giants jumped or the Cowboys started late
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Yup
Hopefully they challenge
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Okay I will......I'm going to quit my job and live my dream as an exotic dancer.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
*waves a dollar*
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Well, hello there
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Maybe I should start playing Madden again so my Raiders could be good somewhere.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Dallas has to win right? I really don't know the NFC situation at all.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Whoever wins the game wins the NFC East
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yup
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
So how many coaches get fired tomorrow?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Head coaches or also coordinators?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
HC
Bed. - January 1, 2012
New faces in
Miami, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Diego, Tampa Bay, St. Louis and maybe Kansas City.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I can see Romeo getting a shot there after the way they finished
Caldwell stays in Indy and Morris is a coin flip for me in TB, the rest I agree with.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Caldwell will depend on what they do with Manning.....I think Morris a DOA.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I'm also pretty sure Turner is looking at OC offers as we speak.
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
That's where he's best suited
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
yep
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Like Wade Phillips as a DC
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
I'd hire him as an OC but never as a HC.
Same with Wade Phillips as a DC.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Son of Bum
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Yep....those old Oilers teams were pretty good.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Didn't see this comment, haha
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○......so that's how that works.....and yes I've been here for 3 years.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
haha
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I don't have a 10-key :(
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
that I can figure out how to use
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
<3
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
♥
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
woot!
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
there ya go
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I had to use the number lock to turn on the 10-key.
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
crafty
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I have a full sized keyboard hooked into my laptop.....it makes life easier.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
me either i have to type 1 and 0
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Here come the 'boys
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Many of my friends and family are Cowboys fans so I'm rooting for them
but I can’t make myself watch football at the moment….I need a little break.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Cruz is KILLING Dallas
Ugh
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Mobile site is borked?
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Nm
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
When I refresh
It only half loads. But when I hit reply to a comment the comment page loads fine, then the lounge loads fine. Odd.
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
dunno let me fire it up on my phone
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
ok nm!
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
i want cake.
Athletica - January 1, 2012
I want a new football team.....cake sounds good though.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
i have cake
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
but then again
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Cake!
If someone told you they’d bake you a cake of any kind, what would you ask for?
(full disclosure: I’m not baking you a cake :p)
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
right now a piece of chocolate will do nicely. :) generally i'm not a sweets person, though. i would demand fancy cheese and bread. :)
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Uh no
More like my friend wrote
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
OK, now I'm gonna have to go puke
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Seriously...Tebow was 6-22 for 60 yards and a pick he did nothing today to lead the Broncos anywhere.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
He convinced Jesus to make the Raiders play the way they did, so the Donkeys wouldn't have to try too hard
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Especially considering that muffed punt at the 20
and then they mange like 3 yards and a FG
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Sounds like the 49ers offense.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'll be rooting for pure evil...aka Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers to rock the Flyin' Tebows next week.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I'm pretty sure Tebow's gonna get his ass kicked by the Steelers D.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
You'd think
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I have no doubts, really.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
My only doubt is the old any given Sunday thing....you just never know.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That's true.
But I think when you have Tebow as your QB, there’s only so much you can do offensively, so the opposing defense should have an easier week of preparation.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I can't wait to see James Harrison running at him
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Brady Quinn must really suck
Bed. - January 1, 2012
The hate that Tebow riles up in people makes me smile.
OldhamA - January 2, 2012
That was a pretty ass punt
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
He punted with his ass?
No wonder it only went 26 yards.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Hey, 26 yards is pretty good if you're punting with your ass.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
How does someone punt with their ass?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
You'd be surprised at all the things one can do with one's ass.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Call me.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
This sounds promising...
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
If you want to see a pretty ass look at my avatar.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
If you wanna see an ugly ass, look at me.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
If you're a Giants fan
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
The Cowboys are fucked.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yup
It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason. I’ve accepted this.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
You think Garrett will be back?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yup
Not entirely sure how I feel about it, but he’ll be back.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
I'd be really surprised if Face Lift fired him.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Maybe he'll finally get some sense
Fire Garrett and hire Cowher. I can dream, though.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
I've heard he loves Jeff Fisher
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I'd like that too
I just prefer Cowher. Garrett’s playcalling has been… meh. Pretty sure half of his playbook is comprised of screen passes.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
His clock management seems poor, too.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I didn't see the L the first time I read that.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
That I don't know about.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yup
Iced his own kicker.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
My only concern with Cowher is passion
he’s been out for awhile now so you wonder how much he really wants it.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Mike SIngletary would probably like another shot at HC.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Oh dear God...may he go to the Broncos or the Chiefs
Bed. - January 1, 2012
this
doctorK - January 1, 2012
San Diego may be looking for a coach soon.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Nah
Eagles
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Fox and Allen aren't going anyhere
McCoy might though
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I haven't watched them much this year.
What do they need to do in the draft?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
CB or O-lineman
If Costa is the starting center next year, they’re fucked.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Niners need OL's too.
At least one guard. Davis isn’t working out. And obviously a QB.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I have heard good things about Davis this season
You mean Snyder/Rachal, right?
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Snyder has played well when healthy.
Davis, from what I’ve seen, is ok as a run blocker, but not good at pass blocking.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
He's also in his second pro year
And has shown improvement. Gotta give him at least 3 seasons, no?
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
I guess that's fair.
Thing is, the 49ers offense has very little room for error. If teams load up the box to stop Gore, their only chance is to protect Smith and give him time to find a receiver. He needs as much time as he can get, because he can be maddeningly slow to get rid of the ball.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
He was asking to get that ball stripped
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
To whom it may concern.....if you want to create a Lounge Nation.....I'm all in.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Holy shit, it's raining here.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Men?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Sadly, no.
I doubt they’d survive the fall, leaving me with less competition.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Crap.
I was loading my ass into the car
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
You still should. I'm here.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'd drive the other way.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
That hurts.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Everybody hurts
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Sometime.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Smart woman
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Cock blocker.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Well, I did mostly block when I played ball.
mostly I watched from the sideline and looked tough.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I mostly watched Star Trek and played D&D.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Hmm....we had different HS experiences.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yeah, well while you were busy getting some, I was looking at Victoria's Secret catalogs.
So, pretty much the same.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Fair point
Bed. - January 1, 2012
He'll teach you how to ass punt
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Lesson #1:
It works best without pants.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Most of life does.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Appropriate for the lounge
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
I am worried about Bloom.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Why? What's up?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Meta.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I think he's about gone from AN.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
This.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I REALLY don't like this.
Man, AN is falling apart really fast.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
It really is
the whole thing is sad but it’s getting obvious change is needed.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
If it wasn't for the Lounge, I'd probably be gone.
I want to give Nico the benefit of the doubt here, but I’m really concerned that his leadership is bad for AN.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I've been a big Nico fan for 3 years but he's just plain wrong
and he keeps making it worse.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I don't remember the last time I went to AN for the A's.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I come for you folks so if you all start to leave then I'll have no reason to stay.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
why?
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
All I know is FK is booming at the moment
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I've been a member over there since it started...
and…. well, I’m still over here.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Hopefully you are happy there
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
That's why I am still here.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I still would prefer to stay at AN
I fit in here already.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I think it'll all die down.
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
I just think it's going to be a quieter site.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
damn...so that's where DMOAS went
:(
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
Bloomie was furious (at N***) over on FK last night
Never seen him like that about anything. He did tone down the worst of it (Edit feature!!). He’s surely done as a front page guy over here but leaving the Lounge…I don’t know why he’d even consider that.
Soaker - January 1, 2012
I agree, Complete Stranger.
The Lounge rules all.
Oh, and nice to meetcha!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Ooof.
There’s been so much to catch up on here, that I haven’t read FK in a while. That bad, huh?
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
He seemed okay last night
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Nico's new 2 week plan didn't help his mood I'm guessing or mine.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
And this
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Do we have new sub-threads to vote on yet?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
These votes are silly
it’s obvious the boys in charge are going to do whatever they want and many folks are going to move on or not be around as much.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Nico's two-week plan is mainly running away and letting the problem fester while he's gone
I don’t normally say this about people, but FUCK HIM.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
i haven't gotten to that part yet. :(
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Go find a stranger.
No go outside and have him head upwind of you. Now have him piss.
That’s what it amounts to.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Read his update at the top of his "modest proposal" thread
He’s walking away from AN for two weeks. Mike is still banned, though.
I’d like to suggest that after the two weeks are up, he should just stay away – permanently.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I don't guess anyone wants to summarize?
I can’t put myself through reading it all.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Mike is still banned....Nico is going to punt for 2 weeks....meta won't be allowed outside of overflow threads.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
mike is unbanned according to danbot
link
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Will he come back, though?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Would you?
I know I sure as fuck wouldn’t.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Me either.....but he should be allowed to if he wants
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Hell, I left for months after getting a strike once.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I got a Nico letter once...I got a little pissy and then moved on as I was in the wrong.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
What pissed me off is that I supposedly insulted Grover.
Grover didn’t think it was an insult at all, but Nico flagged it anyway. And really, I don’t think what I said was an insult.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I got hit for flagging Berry Jo all the time for being too nice.
and now I no longer flag anyone so it was all for the best.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
do I have to put my mean september face on???
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Ha!.....I'd go whack anyone who ever gave you a flag.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You don't flag all of my comments anymore?
:(
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I usually rec yours
I’m your biggest fan.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That's true, you are.
After all, you’re my ONLY fan.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
If someone makes me laugh they're golden
heck Mike ticked me off many times but he also made me laugh so I support him.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Mike can be abrasive, but I don't think he's ever malicious.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I would agree with this.
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
I mostly agree
I hope he comes back if he wants to. I feel the same way about DFA as well.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
DFA is still banned as far as I know
I’m pretty sure he would not be interested in returning without wholesale changes in AN management.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I understand that
It would probably help if I left AN as well for his return.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
isn't the maligned person the one that usually flags stuff?
or if it’s an OBVIOUS violation.
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Grover and I were arguing about the return on the Haren trade.
And I asked him if he was being deliberately obtuse. Now I admit, that’s not a nice thing to say, but in all honesty, do you think it’s flag-worthy?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Well - since I never flag anyone - I don't know. i think it's technically against the CGVs??
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Personally, I wouldn't flag it.
If it was out of the blue? Maybe a warning, but not a strike. But in the middle of a heated argument? Nah.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Yes, I agree.
And we were in the middle of a heated argument. I’ll admit, it wasn’t the right thing to say. I was getting frustrated that he was repeating the same thing, essentially, without actually refuting anything I said. ANyway, not the point. The point is, I was pissed that I got a strike.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I left for two years for no reason.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Let's see....I've quit twice
and taken 4 AN breaks…..of course I tend to be dramatic.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Because I wasn't here, so why bother coming?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
TWSS
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I doubt it, but we'll see.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Also, that's just slapping a band-aid on the problem.
Mike’s ban was a symptom of a bigger problem.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Thanks.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I agree with Bed....I don't think it's gonna work. Not sure it's needed. Meta is gonna be around whatever the "rules" are
the only thing that will work is self-policing I think – that’s what was put into place and it seemed to be OK. Banning should perhaps be by committee?
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
I'm with you
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I did not read Elcroata's thread.....tooo long. I didn't get why he was banned in the first place.
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
No one does.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
According to what I have read, he repeatedly made fun of Nico.
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
It's a personal thing at this point
I only skimmed that thread and it still took an hour.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Me too.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
j, i'm sorry. that sucks. :( also, can someone explaine the gatorade shower?
Athletica - January 1, 2012
You don't remember the Giants dousing Parcells after winning the SB back in the mid-80's?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yep Big Tuna was the first coach to get the bath
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Fish out of water
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
i didn't mean in general. i meant, why did the new jersey gints do it right now? :(
Athletica - January 1, 2012
cause they won
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
so what. :( i thought that was done before going to disneyworld? :(
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Because this win puts them in the playoffs.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
it is sticky
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
TWSS.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
And yeah, sorry Yon.
Ozzwife is a Cowboys fan, so I was cheering for your guys.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I was prepared for it
They’ve really, really, really, really sucked on national TV this year.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Cowboys lost
good, I hate ’em.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
but 'Muricas team
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Sorry to all the'boys supporters in this thread
Between the meta and the farking Raiders, I’m not a happy little PhD at the moment.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I understand
We can all come together in our collective hate of the football universe, right?
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
I'm in
Bed. - January 1, 2012
No, I'm pretty happy about football right now.
I’m sorry.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
It's been a long time since you 49er fans had reason to be happy
so congrats and good luck in the playoffs.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Thanks!
They’re probably gonna face NO in 2 weeks, so they’ll need all the luck they can get.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Luck is a pipe dream
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I can dream, can't I?
He’d look great in a 49ers uniform. As long as he doesn’t wear a SF Giants hat during press conferences like Alex Fucking Smith.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I wouldn't mind the 49ers as much
but hearing “Who’s got it better than us?” got old really fucking quick. I’m guessing this isn’t a problem where you live.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
And I am happy for the true 49ers fans
I just wouldn’t mind if they were one and done :-).
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
You might get your wish.
Unless the defensive Smiths can get in Brees’ face early and often.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Not much, but there are more 49ers fans here than you might think.
Before the Panthers came along, the 49ers were really popular in this area. So the older generation still likes them.
The “Who’s got it better than us?” thing I kinda like, though, because instead of focusing on all the things that could go wrong, they focus on what they have going for them.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
There are Raiders fans everywhere I've ever been
I joined one of the clubs in KC it was fun since that town hates the Raiders more than the Nazis.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Why would the Nazis hate the Raiders?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
wrong colors bro
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Oh, of course.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Well I'm happy that some of us here get to have playoff football
I know SF went through some pretty crappy years. Enjoy it.
And I couldn’t help but reply “Green Bay!” whenever I heard “Who’s got it better than us?”
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Well yeah.
And NE, NO, and Baltimore. But that’s beside the point. Harbaugh needed to give the team some confidence. I don’t take it as an arrogant chant, but I’m obviously biased. I take it not as “We’re better than everyone else,” but rather as “If we play our game, we can play with anyone.” And I think that’s true.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
A lot of fans took it as the former
But it was pretty cool to see the job Harbaugh did. Took basically the same team as Singletary.
YonYonson - January 1, 2012
Yeah, the talent was already there.
A new QB would be nice, though.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yeah the Carolinas sucks for Redskins/Cowboys etc fans.
OldhamA - January 2, 2012
Hate? HATE?
I LOVE HATE
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Holy shit The Smurfs grossed $142 million?
and WTF is Hop and it got 108 million
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Forget about that.
Alvin and the Chipmunks made so much money that they made Alvin 3: Chipwrecked. GAAAAAH.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Jason Lee made me sad
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
David Cross, too.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
oh shit he is in it, for shame David, FOR SHAME
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Hey everybody.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
hi dan
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
What's up?
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
not too much
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Hi Dan....we need a new football team to root for.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
We seriously do.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
The Panthers are accepting fans.
OldhamA - January 2, 2012
DAN!
What’s up?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Hey!
Not too much. Been so meta lately. AND, I got the stomach flu for christmas. That was fun.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
The gift that keeps on giving.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Hope you're feeling better now?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Hah, yes.
24 hours, mostly. Thank god.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Good.
The flu really sucks.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Very much so.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Hi Danbot
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Jo!
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
hello :)
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Jesa!
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
♥
Athletica - January 1, 2012
Here is what I have to say....
Fuck all of this fucking bullshit…….The Raiders Defense can kiss my ass, what a fucking god awful day…….I am so tired and worn out with sports right now, I’m ready to tell them all to just go to hell…..
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
I can relate....it was an awful day.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Look at it this way:
Campbell is back next year.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
He's a FA....we're locked into Pick Six Palmer for next year
I sure hope McFadden can get a new foot though.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Oh. Well, crap.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
McFadden...theres another Joke....He is the Rich Harden of football.....
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
He's Mr. Glass but he's so damn talented....it's tough.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yep...Just like Harden....when he plays he is awesome...he was having an MVP type season.....then DONE!!
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
It's a good comparison....I'm jealous I didn't think of it first
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I hate to say this, but I have a weird feeling that the 49ers might not re-sign Gore.
If they don’t, he’d be a good fit for the Raiders.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I dontr really have a probelm with Carson Palmer....I dont have a problem with our offense...
But goddammit how as a defensive player in this league, with the crowd going nuts after you damn near caused a safety on the kickoff and pinned the team at the one inch line do you then let them pick up 20 f’n yards on the very next play and then just let them march right down the field…..Jesus!!!
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
That's when I figured they had just quit
Seriously – 20 yard pass, then a 40 yard draw play on first and 20 (WTF), then a 40+ yard TD pass.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
How in the hell was Richard Seymour elected to the pro bowl....
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
Big name
our kickers were the only guys I’d vote for.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Tebow's an alternate.
That’s simply bullshit.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Bad year for AFC QB's
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Worst Pro Bowler ever?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'd have to think about it but it seems possible
Bed. - January 1, 2012
but ... BUT...
HE LED HIS TEAM TO THE AFC WEST TITLE
doctorK - January 1, 2012
And Stafford isn't
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I had Stafford in fantasy.
That was fun.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
520 yards today.
And what, 4 TD’s?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Eh, we didn't play week 17.
But god, seriously? That’s crazy.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Yeah.
And Flynn had 480 yards and 6 TD’s for GB.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Detroit's D is stinky.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
So is GB's.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Yep if it's them and the Patriots in the SB
it’s first team to 50 wins.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I don't think GB's is as bad as most people think.
It’s not great, but it’s not horrible either. I’d say it’s a little below average.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
When they cause turnovers they aren't bad.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That's the key for them.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yeah.
But 1000 passing yards and 10 TD’s between 2 QB’s in 1 game? Wow. That’s what it’ll be like when NO and GB face off in the NFC Championship Game.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
As I said up the thread Matt Flynn made a lot of money today.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It amazes me that someone will give him a fat contract based on 1 game.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
But it will
to be fair I’ve heard a lot of teams liked Flynn even before today.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Oh, I'm sure it will happen.
I really don’t know anything about Flynn, except that he might be better than Alex Smith.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
That's a long list
although hey AS did what he was asked to do this season and it worked.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Mostly.
But more recently, other teams are keying in on the run and trying to force Smith to beat them. He managed to do it against the Rams, and just barely against the Seahawks. He failed against the Ravens and Cards. He holds on to the ball too long, and he isn’t accurate enough.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Oh I wouldn't want him as my QB
and if the 49ers can get a better QB in the off-season I’m sure they’ll do it.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
OH WAIT, never mind.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1000632-pro-bowl-2012-why-tim-tebow-deserves-to-go-over-philip-rivers
So convincing.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
you linked BR I have a sad
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
For the hilarity factor.
The only reason I’d ever link a BR.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
still means you knew it was there
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
that was horrible
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Deep and irrefutable.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
And seriously.....it was so loud in the coliseum at that moment.....the mometum had totally swung our way..for like 30 seconds then boom you give up a 20 yard pass....and then a 40 yard draw up the middle...WTF?????
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
Nope.
Palmer’s the QB for the foreseeable future, for better or for worse. And for what it’s worth, I think he’ll do better with a full training camp under his belt.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
I hope he will but I'm not a fan.
The main thing I want is an actual GM but we’ll have to see how it goes.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Well it means that we only gave up one pick for him since we didnt make the playoffs...
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
a 1st this year and a 2nd next year right?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Wasn't it:
If playoffs, 1st + 1st next year
If not, 1st + 2nd next year
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
That's what I thought
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yeah I meant 1st round pick...
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
PRYOR!
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Chuck Bresnahan needs to be fired. Today.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Three weeks ago would've been better
But yeah.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
I saw a uhaul parked outside the coliseum..Im hoping that it was full of his shit...
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
what happened? If you don't mind talking about it. Did not see the game. got a puppy instead!
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Congrats on the puppy....the Raiders D was beyond awful...didn't make the Chargers punt once.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
oh UGH!
Berry Jo - January 1, 2012
Wait, seriously?
Not even once?
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Nope....they did throw a pick, miss a FG and turn the ball over on downs but no punts.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Sigh.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Yeah zero punts....way to go D..way to step up in a big game...
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
What was it, TWO 99 yard drives that SD had?
Ugh.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
The Raiders' game plan was something like this:
Play well for 10 minutes. Play badly for 20 minutes. Repeat until you lose.
Englishmajor - January 1, 2012
And then decide that trading field goals for TDs is a good idea.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Someone farted in our BART car on the way back from the game
It was the appropriate ending to the day.
Englishmajor - January 1, 2012
Hahaha.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
He who denied it supplied it
doctorK - January 1, 2012
It was a really shitty ending...
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
Townsend tweeted the entire D staff got fired
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Phew.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Pew! Pew!
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
here is the text
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
You can't allow 31 fucking points in an elimination game. Period.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
That and having McClain cover Calvin Johnson during the Lions game also not a good idea
the Raiders D is one of the worst in the NFL.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
They had 'backers trying to cover receivers today, too
Obviously, since it worked so well before, let’s try it again.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Well, it's not like Vincent Jackson is any good or anything.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
He has been according to CT
Englishmajor - January 1, 2012
omg keep grasping at straws tebowites
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Maybe it's because Tebow can only run like 10 plays?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
The Tebow thing is strange it's not even about football anymore really.
I don’t hate the kid I just don’t think he’s any good.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Hi, I watched 3 quarters of the Raiders game
and then fell into a coma.
I am glad Bresnahan is fired, even if they should have done that weeks and weeks ago.
emperor nobody - January 1, 2012
I might be for his execution at this point.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Nah - just tie him to a tank car on the next UP train leaving Oakland.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
As long as he's gone I'm cool with however he leaves.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Kuper's legs injury, I won't embed it
http://photos.denverpost.com/mediacenter/2012/01/photos-denver-broncos-vs-kansas-city-chiefs-2/26782/#28
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I don't want to look at that.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
You know, I can see the aftermath in person,
but seeing how that shit happend? Nope.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
It's just a picture of the aftermath.
Ewwwwwwww.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Yeah... I looked.
I can see why they asked for the cart immediately.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Okay, I did anyway.
I’m like Oz. Tell him not to look at something, and he does anyway.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Damn, a leg ain't supposed to look like that.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Urlacher's didn't look pretty either.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Urlacher is broken?
When did this happen?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I don't if it broke, but the injury wasn't pretty.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Today, btw,
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Sprained MCL.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I had a class with him at UNM.
We never met, there were 150 people or so in the class.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
brutal
Even though I hate the Donkeys, that’s awful.
doctorK - January 1, 2012
One time we had a boy come in with he foot partially severed.
The accepting doctor asked for a photo to see what he was going to be dealing with. I had to send the photos on my phone, and ended up keeping the photo. I almost went apeshit when I found out my phone automatically deletes photos after a certain period of time.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Your phone must be a fascinating place.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
I started saving the good shit.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Has a small child ever accidentally gotten hold of your phone and started snooping through the pics?
’Cuz that would be a hilarious and awesome lesson in privacy for small children.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
No. Dear God, no.
OH BOY, no.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I believe in lessons that require extensive therapy.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
It's an ever-changing house of fascination/horror.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Why do I always look at things I tell myself I'm not going to look at.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
If Bloom asks,
we all want to see him naked.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I've wanted that for going on 3 years now.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You and me both.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
But the only thing I hate more than men is naked men. :(
Kyli - January 1, 2012
The more I learn about you, the more I think we might be the same person.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I'm you from an alternate dimension.
Similar worlds, except in my timeline, Billy Beane took the scholarship instead of the money, the Giants moved to Tampa, and every Friday in America is Liquor and Chocolate Day.
Then I got involved in a space-time accident with Patrick Stewart and a box of antacids, and now I’m trapped here.
….so yeah I think I’m still hungover from last night.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
You crack me up.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
+1
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
There are a few things different about us...
but we might be sisters.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Ha! I *knew* my parents were lying when they said I wasn't adopted.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Your sister from a different mister.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
You may hate us, but all us men here luv you.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
we aren't the prettiest things all nude
odd skin flapping around oh and when we bend, yikes
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
LOL
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
So you don't find back hair sexy huh?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Man pelts
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Ha!
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It's less of a dealbreaker than the 'is a man' thing.
Chest hair is awesome, though.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Good thing my pelt is on the front.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Good man.
A girl’s gotta have some traction.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
I've gotten mostly positive reviews.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Because the negative reviews never speak to you again?
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
That and my ears only hear good news.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
We should look you up on Yelp to see.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Angie's list!
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Angie's List
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Is there an echo in here?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yelp and Angie's List.....sounds like a band name
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Alright, well everybody have a good night......
wacchampions - January 1, 2012
night
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Doubtful but be well, WAC.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Night Bry
Sorry about today
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Night, man.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Night!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Night Bryan! D:
Kyli - January 1, 2012
So I learned today that my unibrow had great value.
It hid my Neanderthal brow bone.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Me Oz you Jane
Bed. - January 1, 2012
So easy, even a caveman can do it.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
That's hurtful Brian Orakpo
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You lost your unibrow today?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I trimmed it up and shaved off the area in the middle.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
..... Anyone want to take this one?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
So Oz is Lady Oz now
Bed. - January 1, 2012
so like a reverse landing strip?
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Yep. On my face.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
You must be so proud.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
It's the closest I'll ever get to a girl sitting on my face, so...
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
thats too bad
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Your poor wife
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
You're just now realizing that?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
some sort of trail?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Atouk zug-zug Lana
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Words hurt, Doc.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
So if the world is truly ending this year
What do you need to do?
I’ve got a pretty long list.
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
I should probably put on some clean underwear.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
collect all the dragon soul
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
SO many other things I need to do first.
Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, the civil war…
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Catching up on BB.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
READ ALL THE BOOKS.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
that too
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
It arrived yesterday
I gave brief thought to the idea of ditching my nye plans to be forever alone with skyrim.
I’m glad I didn’t
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
SKYRIM FOREVER.
ALL THE DRAGONS MUST DIE.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
This is true
I’m trying to maintain my larger, in life aspirations.
Those will all go away once I start playing.
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Might as well max out the credit cards, too.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I have a phobia of end-of-the-world prophecies.
I’m totally going to have to spend this year with my hands over my ears unless I want to up my valium intake, aren’t I?
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Hooray more valium!
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
I'll trade you some xanax for some valium.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
might need to add a low level pill
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I can see this will be the start of a beautiful friendship.
And probably some misdemeanor drug trafficking across state borders.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
No worries.
The whole theory is based on the thought that the Mayan calendar ends this year. Which it might not even do. And even if it does, so what? Our calendar ends every year, on December 31st, and the world doesn’t end.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I worry for the Mayans. They don't have a B&N to go to in order to buy a new calendar, what shall they do? :(
Kyli - January 1, 2012
In a couple if years neither will we!
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
They'll hit up the calendar store in the mall that opens every year around Thanksgiving.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
it is like they squat for 6 weeks and no one cares
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
If I had to squat for 6 weeks, I'd go see the doctor.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I had my annual check up last week....it turns out I suffer from male pattern baldness....I know...I was shocked too.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Have you told the wife yet?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm hiding by wearing lots of hats and my membership in the Whig Party helps too.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Remember to dump out a little shampoo every time you shower.
And it might not hurt to get some hair from a friend to leave in the drain.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
My wife actually loves my head shaved
I’m down to the 1/8 inch cut all over.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I shave mine bald.
Ozzwife fought me on it for years, but once I started, she won’t let me grow it back. Which is fine, because I wouldn’t anyway.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm scared I might be abnormally bumpy
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
The wife told me before I shaved that I had a funny-shaped head.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
My head is WASP perfection.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Mine is Indian adequacy.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Thats funny.
I look at your picture, and you remind me of someone. I just can’t put a finger on it….
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Jason Bourne?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I saw him on the tv last night
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Jason Voorehees?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Naw...
I’m thinking more like Pat Boone
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Pat Buchanan?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Could be
Or Michelle Bachman. Hey, Ozz, suck on a corndog for me!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
dont make me post the pic
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
That should be a chili dog, down at the Tastee Freeze
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Diane sitting on Jackie's lap, got his hand between her knees.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Oh yeah? Life goes on, Bloom.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Michelle Bachmann reminds you of a bald Indian dude?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
She only reminds me of one with hair.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Well, your picture is of a longhaired,
Pale-faced brunette..
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Oh, that pic. RIght.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yeah that chick is strange looking
does she like bats?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
And if so,
can she play 3rd base?
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
As well as Kouz.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
If she can bat AND play 3rd as well as Kouz...
SIGN HER UP!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Bat sushi.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Luckily my head is smooth on the parts that no longer have hair.
And this part continues to grow by the hour.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Oh good.
There’s a wikihow for ‘How to Overcome a Fear of 2012’.
How helpful.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Does it recommend to take it one day at a time?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
No. :(

Fuck. We ARE related.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012

Kyli - January 1, 2012
I'd have to agree
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Bitch, no one asked you.
Now get back in the kitchen and make me some cake!
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
yeah, whatever
I’m done baking. its sit on my ass time now, so screw off :)
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Her and Kyli?
Break out the popcorn!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
oh, and I don't make cakes
cookies, pie, cheesecake, brownies – but not cake
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Well, that's just fucking dumb.

cakes are so yesterday
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
THERE WAS CAKE YESTERDAY?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
you didn't get the text?
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
No. You guys went without me, just like you normally do.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I told you last time to get on the road and come
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Can't we meet in the middle?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
meet us in reno on the 20th
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
I have skool.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
plus Reno's not exactly the middle...
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I have skool.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
in our defense, you live in the middle of NOWHERE
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
[evil look]
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
eHarmony translation: quirky!
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I just love cats!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm good....maybe find a way to play Augusta National.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I heard a story on Latino USA about that tonight
Some Guatemalan experts on Mayan civilization, who said that there’s absolutely nothing about the world ending in the Mayan calendar and everyone needs to chill out.
Englishmajor - January 1, 2012
I'm not losing a lot of sleep on this one.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
this
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Also, the Mayans were not a dark and negative people.
If they associated anything with the end of the calendar, it would likely have been something good.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
this
it’s just the end of the last epoch, or “baktun,” as they termed it — after which they proscribed no further history back when their calendar was made centuries and centuries ago. This is not necessarily the equivalent of the “end of the world,” that’s just the Western penchant for sensationalistic posturing where sober rendering of facts is required. If it bleeds, it leads. Apocalypse sells.
I interpret it as being that the Maya didn’t see linear history beyond the end of 2012 because they couldn’t have conceived of things becoming more and more non-linear and accelerated, as we have seen in our lifetimes leading up to the end of this year. I think their calendar doesn’t “end” so much as indicate the onset of a kind of obsolescence for calendars and what we perceive as linear time in general.
People interested in this topic should check out Terrence McKenna’s “Timewave Zero” and Novelty theories, which are mathematical constructs based on what would or could be considered “events of novelty” throughout known Human history and how they seem to form a pattern of greater and greater duplicative (but ever-condensing) repetition over history…. his calculations (he died about 12 years ago) coincide with the end of the 13th baktun of the Maya almost to the day, at which time McKenna calculated that an event of supreme or utmost novelty would be due to occur which would be transformative in a way or ways our linear & narrow reality-perceptions would have no or little frame of reference to immediately accommodate.
What that event or events might be is anyone’s guess, ranging from ET contact to solar flares immolating us to who knows what.
emperor nobody - January 1, 2012
I know
It’s total bs, just thought it’d be fun convo
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
Total BS is my bread and butter on AN
anything for a laugh or to start a conversation…..me being dead sexy is the truth though.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Ha!
You really ARE funny.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
this being an example of total bs by Oz.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yeah, you're not that funny.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Just in the looks department.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Oh, I didn't think anything else
One of the experts said something like “Hey, maybe folks in the US could start being concerned about climate change instead of exploiting our culture for doomsday scenarios.”
Englishmajor - January 1, 2012
see my comment above
Apocalypse sells, esp. to mortals such as we.
emperor nobody - January 1, 2012
Harold Camping agrees
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
What does Harold the Barrel think?
That’s for EN.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
he can't last long, whatever he thinks
emperor nobody - January 1, 2012
So true
Bed. - January 1, 2012
This has reminded me to put up my new golf calendar in the office.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
My goals for 2012.....finish a marathon...read 52 books and stay perfect.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Admirable!
Ozzwife plans to run 2 5K’s and a 10K this year.
I want to lose 30 lbs, and I want my photo business to generate 6 figure gross revenues.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I want to eat more bacon
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
Admirable!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Honestly if 2012 is half as good as 2011 I'm cool.
Healthy family, happy at work….life is sweet.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
YAY!
Although if the Raiders won a couple more games, you probably wouldn’t complain.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yeah.....my teams are killing me
but today my kid kept cooing the entire 1st half and I was just enamored by the whole thing…..as much as I love my Raiders it doesn’t hurt as much as it did when I was a kid.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I can see that.
Babies trump everything else.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
It really does change your life.
I’m just glad I didn’t wait much longer as I can’t imagine having an infant at 45 or so….no sleep is tough enough at 37.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That's what nannies are for.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Me no rich
and besides I’m having a blast even though I’m close to being part of the walking dead.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I thought you were the 1%.
It’s ironic that a guy named Bed isn’t getting enough sleep.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I hope to be in the 1% one day
and I need some rest badly but I’ll get it soon…I hope.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Yeah, once she's married.
Say, another 25 years or so?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Oh Christ.....I'm dead.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
hi there.
I hear you want to see me naked.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012

Howdy friend.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Hi, LB!
Anything that gets you to stay. You and the others in the lounge are what keeps me going.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
+1
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
hell yes!
ZigFan31 - January 1, 2012
Pics or it didn't happen.

See, he's home. Safe and sound, and home!

Soaker - January 1, 2012
I left bread crumbs.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Good I'm making a meatloaf.

Here goes nothing
Hello, skyrim
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
goodbye nova
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I think total in the first 4 Elder Scrolls Games I put in close to 600 hours
I hope to play part 5 one day.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Goodbye life.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
you know between that and the steam sale I'm good for awhile
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
I was kinda disappointed with the Steam sale, actually.
Spent five bucks on Bastion, but that’s it.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
I'm old and don't understand steam.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Well, that's just confusing.
Everything old used to run on steam.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I love you.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
So much better than mine.
Damn you.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
it really is. significantly so.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Thanks. That usually doesn't happen.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I'm oldish and I learned right quick
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
When water gets hot, it turns into a gas.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
See, as you get older, this changes.
You have to be more concerned that your gas turns into a liquid…
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Or a solid.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I'm passed that....
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
I hadn't bought anything since Oblivion and Bioshock 1
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
See you in six months.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
I've come to the conclusion that regardless of what the hell happens out there in the world,
nothing can harm us in our little lounge bubble.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
It's Lounge Nation, baby.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
WooHoo!
REC’D!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
BOOBIES
doctorK - January 1, 2012
Damn right.
You staying?
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
maybe. let's see how it shakes out.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Just like television shows.
You gotta deal with the re-runs a while until the new shit comes out after the holidays.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I'm willing to juggle for your amusement to get you to stay.
I can also offer up Oz as your plaything.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
...can we get some smokes for him from the ABers?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I think we can make this deal happen.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You'd just trade me away?
Ouch.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
for smokes?!
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
You would rather suck down poison than spend time with me.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
[turns head quizzically]
um…duh….
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I taste way better than any cig.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
But you don't last as long.
Or so I’ve heard.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I subscribe to the fast food theory of sex.
Work fast, serve as many as possible.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
huh
I’m doing something wrong then
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Well, I didn't say it was working.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
... and leave a bad taste in their mouths?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
That's why I include a large Coke.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
that would imply super sized
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
No, we renamed the smallest size "Large."
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm such a bitch
Bed. - January 1, 2012
A bitchety bitchy bitch.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm once, twice, three times a bitch....
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I was never good at math.
Does that make you a royal bitch, or a fucking bitch?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I think it makes me Canadian.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Oh, they're the worst.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Is that even a real country?
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
America Lite.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Ah
’cause I always thought it was just something John Candy made up to sell his movie
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
You should probably find a Canadian and say soory.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'll think aboot it
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Good.
I’m glad.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Good.
I’m glad.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
twice?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
He's really, REALLY glad.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
super secret double glad
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Dammit.
I take it back. Both of them.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
back, back, back, back?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
How has Gus made Justin's life better?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
who
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
how had Hungry Hungry Homer helped Yon Yonson?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
~
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
read what Yon wrote up top when he posted this.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
oh I rarely read the lead in to the lounge
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
HOW DARE YOU?!?!
They work hard for their money.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I read what I read
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
What's the impetus for the question?
(downloading updates)
noava22 - January 1, 2012 via mobile
All I know is when you get Gus off the bus you don't need to discuss much.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Just drop off the key, Lee. And set yourself free.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Geeze one day down on the new year and I already broke my resolution
anybody know where I can bury a body?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
in the ground
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
That seems logical.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Ask Siri.
Kyli - January 1, 2012
Tom Cruise's kid knows what to do with dead bodies?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
that's fucking funny, right there.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I saw Chickie's name pop up so I guess his ban is off too.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
damn it, how'd he escape the lava pit is what I wanna know...
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
Let's just make sure sirbed is still in a Mexican prison.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I told you to get some sharks with fricking lasers on their heads.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I love Dr. Evil
Bed. - January 1, 2012
All you bald white guys stick together.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Right......
Bed. - January 1, 2012
(puts pinky finger in mouth)
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Better than the alternative.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Depends on what they're paying me
Bed. - January 1, 2012
1 million dollars!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'd want a million for it in the 90's and a billion for it in the 60's
also can I use some footage from Independence Day to make my point?
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Sure, if that's what it takes.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Dr. Evil was the only reason I loved those movies
I kept rooting for him to beat Austin.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
He has hot wings now.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
mmmm....he's delicious...
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
mmmm
hot wings
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
out of my head, you!
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
mmmm. ranch.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
yes please!
and extra hot sauce
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
"And the priest announces the bans in front of the congregation..."
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Father Desme?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
We need his prayers right aboot now.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Connie Mack, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
When the Yankees come, thy will be done…
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Scared the shit out of me for a second.
Asshole.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Haha!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I actually went to check.
Dammit!
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
that's actually...kinda telling.
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
No kidding!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
That is hilarious.
You’re so gullible. It’s endearing.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'll ban each and every one of you.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Elcroata will start a fan post about it.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I told someone important to fuck off
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
The Giants?
REC’D!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
yes!
FUCK THE GNATS
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
REC'D!
Except, after re-reading it, I see you wrote “important”. I thought you wrote “impotent”
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
When did you tell me to fuck off?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I do that every single day
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
Oh yeah.
I just tune you out.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Was it me?
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
email him and find out.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
BAN HIM!
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I'm watching the ID channel.
They are telling me how to get rid of a body. Stay tuned, Bed.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
All I learned I learned from TV
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It involved some bags and a saw.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
probably used the tub to drain the blood too
Copenhagen - January 1, 2012
(writes this down)
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Why not use the old theory about hiding things in plain sight?
Leave the body on your sofa.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
That would awesome.
OH FUCK, WHEN DID THAT GET THERE!?!?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Or go for a Weekend at Bernie's thing.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Ever feel like you're Bernie?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
All the time.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Only when I take too many muscle relaxers.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
LOL
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
I mixed too many CNS depressants once,
and I could feel myself dying in my parents living room chair.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
that must have been fun :P
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
the great thing about it is you don't care!
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I could feel my breathing get really shallow.
It was scary as fuck
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Every day, upon getting out of bed.
Right before I take a vicodin.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Of course I'm in Arkansas....I'll just say it was a hunting accident
my 27th in the last year.
Bed. - January 1, 2012

We aim to please
Please aim

My grandma used to have the a sign up by her pool that read,
“We don’t swim in your stool, so please don’t pee in our pool.”
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat with a rifle.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Why would you have a rifle on a boat?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Canadians could be near by.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Shoot on sight!
But what are Canadians doing in Arkansas? Hell, what are Americans doing in Arkansas?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Shooting fish. Duh.
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Sounds very redneck.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Maybe, but it is effective.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
You can drink a whole lot more beer while holding a fishing pole.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I have that down pat.
You tie a weight and a bobber on the line, but leave off the hook and sushi. That way, the fish won’t bother you drinking.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
He's in Arkansas, remember?
Jennifer - January 1, 2012
Yeah, but why?
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I don't do much well
but I can hit any target with a rifle
ChickenStanley - January 1, 2012
I'm good with a pistol
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You sex pistol, you!
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Preppy love is dangerous with it's deadly aim.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I'm great with rubber bands.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I don't own a gun.....I might be the only person in the state who doesn't
but I enjoy shooting them at my friends house.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I want to shoot a gun.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
It's fun
for some reason I’m good with pistols and shooting pool even though I don’t do it much….I think it’s because it’s kind of like putting.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I suck at pool.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
It just comes naturally to me...it's weird.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I got a B in geometry, you'd think I'd be at least ok.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
So, you're one of those "stathead" guys.
You know, the ones that are screwing up everything.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
I'm trying, anyway.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I can't remember what I got but I doubt it was good.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
That wouldn't be a bad way to teach it, though.
You know, when kids say “When am I ever gonna use this?” You, as the teacher, could say “Every Friday night at the shitty bar you hang out at, trying to drink away your miserable, dead end life.”
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
You're a natural born teacher....of future felons.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
I believe in honesty.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I read this as.."of huger melons"
doctorK is in my head.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
We don't need you. Buster's got a degree in business.
Well, it’s in 17th Century Agrarian business, but it’s essentially the same thing. Now, tell me, do you fear an uprising?
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
I AM the uprising.
OccupyLounge
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Another season and a movie!
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
i know! Family excited, Michael!
Leopold Bloom - January 1, 2012
For a guy with a math major, I was pretty awful at geometry. I hated geometry. I hated differential geometry. And if Riemann were alive, I’d go kick his ass.

Come on over!
I am one of the Range Safety Officers at the local range. We can have a lot of fun.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Thanks!
Pretty sure they have places to shoot guns in SC, though. Southerners love their guns. In fact, there’s still a law on the books requiring men to carry guns to church in case of Indian attack.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Arkansas...Guns, God and Groping your cousin.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
South Carolina: Untouched by 150 years of progress.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I like to say here in Arkansas we're only stuck in the 50's.....the 1850's
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Sounds like SC is AR with beaches.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Probably
I mostly like it here but there are things that drive me nuts as a Californian.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
Me too.
Mostly it’s when people talk to me.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Why, suh!
Whatevah do you mean?
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
People here refer to the Civil War as "the unpleasantness."
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Oh tell me about it
The Stars and Bars are everywhere in this state….it’s the one thing I really don’t like about Arkansas.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It's funny to me that they are such ardent supporters of the South in the Civil War, and then also claim to be patriots.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Yep.....treason isn't very patriotic.
Bed. - January 1, 2012
You mean like the Founding Fathers?
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
That's different.
It’s ok to revolt against a bunch of crumpet-eating nancy boys.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
Its only different when you win.
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
That's really it.
danmerqury - January 1, 2012
Well sure, the victor writes the history.
But there are big differences.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
No there isn't
Tutu-late - January 1, 2012
Sure there are.
The Founding Fathers were looking to create a nation with a completely different form of government, for one thing. Also, the Southern states had the same legal status as the Northern states, while the colonies were treated differently from England itself.
ozzman99 - January 1, 2012
I think that's a different deal, Tutu
Bed. - January 1, 2012
It's weird. Southerners buy into the myths they've created about themselves, and then they try to live up to them.
