Fuck the Giants!
When did you get thread powers?
Few weeks ago

and hello!

Hello!

Romo’s hand looks gross!

I haven't seen a closeup

Not sure if I want to.

They showed it before the game.

Swollen and yellowish green.

Sadly

his hand isn’t even the first thing wrong with this team. Damn, this looks like it’s going to be ugly.

Hi.
hi
I heard there was some nasty shit up in here.
what happened to it?
Got it stuck in his purse.
So he is like Mark Sanchez
Hand contusion last week
No....FUCK THE RAIDERS
I like how Hue threw the team under the bus
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.

this

The whole coaching staff needs to go after this abomination of a season.

Our wonderful DC should be deported....I'm down on Jackson but my guess is he's back.
Bresnahan should've been fired after the Lions game - at the latest
That was a weird fumble.
It's quite slippery out there
how so?
How it shot back to Manning.
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.
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?

That's the Patriots move.
stresses me out.
I have something you want
Meow...?
A cat no
a puppy?
a pizza
i'm having one tooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Yeah well at least your team wins

my team last won when I was in the 4th grade.

babe, i'm sorry. i understand. :( that is so not fun. (
Good luck in the playoffs....your boys have a shot.
i am not feeling good about it. but thank you, bed. that means a lot. i know how much you hate my team!
nah....I don't hate the Patriots...I admire how they go about their business

I only hate the Broncos and the Chiefs.

Can the Cowboys borrow Brady?

Please?

yes.
Can Belichick come with him?
I'd sell my soul if I had one for Belichick and Brady to come to the Raiders.
I got stuck with the Jets game and the Saints.

Then I fell alseep during the KC game.

I really hate sports at the moment.
Me to for pretty much the same reasons, weird
Tebow was god awful today

I think the “magic” has run it’s course.

Newsflash, keep him in the pocket and he can't do anything
I think most of us knew this outside of some defensive coordinators

he’s a fullback who lines up at quarterback.

This is his QB totals for the last 3

30/73 439 4 int 1 TD

Matt Flynn was better TODAY

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.

Yup, He is the new Matt Cassel

Franchise ??? profit is the Packers want to

I LOVED CLIPBOARD MATTY.
Has anyone had a luckier career arc?

Backup at SC. Backup in New England. Gets a big contract for one season of work.

PLUS HE LOOKED CUTE
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.

They do if they want to get something for him
I just don't know if they need the tag for one of their starters.
That I don't know, I'd have to ask my friend
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.

5th round is first pick right?
We might get a conditional 3rd for Asomugha
Forgot about that and Miller and someone else
Miller we won't get anything for because we signed Kevin Boss.
My "favorite" thing today....I said Pick Six Palmer hadn't been too bad today and then BOOM....interception on the next throw.
I want the Raiders to hire an actual GM and let him decide everyone's fate

but not matter what Chuck Bresnahan must go.

The only good news is now I don't have to watch the damn Raiders until September.
Yup

I know how you feel right now.

is there a daric barton playing football?
I'm sure at least one of them have dove head first into the shallow end of the pool.
Terrance Newman is playing like he did
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

My former BFF was in love with jimmy graham.

I hate him now. I’d root for the Saints it he wasn’t there.

He's a stud.....there are some really good young TE's in the game right now.
Tony. Gonzalez.
The best ever
Hawt
I am still angry the Chiefs.... I can't say it.
GRONK.
The best right now
♥ i love my gronkenstein.
He's really good

those two TE’s you guys have are something.

goodhernandez?
Hernandez is really good too.....most teams would love to have him.
who were you talking about?
Aaron Hernandez and Gronkowski
when you said "hernandez is really good too"....i thought you were saying there was someone else. ;)
It would be too much if they had 3 great young TE's
it would be hawt, though
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.

if you could choose, would you take gronk or goodhernd, and why?
Oh Gronk easy

he’s the better player….he’s perfect for that offense and he’s only going to get better.

He's an unfortunate looking man.
DOUG FREE... as free as the wind blows.
Oh shit

Jerry is on suicide watch.

Is his face lift holding up?
No, he looks wrecked.
The Cowboys are hard to figure out....on paper it should work but it never seems to.
Doing the pats lets spot the opponent 21 thing is all
what did i miss?
Dallas is down 21-0 at halftime

The defense looks like the Pats’

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.

You know Jennifer you aren't the first woman from Missouri to flip me off.
I've never had a woman flip me off. What's it like?
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.
Bittery masturbating?
there's nothing like it.
I'm saving that for later tonight.
does that like involve a lemon?
Hydrofluoric acid
The Lions. LOL
Their defense is not good...Gunther Cunningham must be going nuts.
I loved that out of the top 8 all time penalized teams 6 of them were Raiders teams.
Commitment to Consistency
Just get flagged, baby.
Sounds like PT

Maybe we just found their new GM

His press conferences would amuse me
Cody Ross....really?

Is Hue Jackson the A’s new GM?

DO NOT WANT
It makes no sense.
Did we sign him?

(it kinda does)

talking to him, no it doesn't if you want to find out what you have

between Cowgill, Mitchell, Reddick, Taylor, and Allen

Billy already said Taylor starts at AAA

Probably same with Mitchell.

It’s a way of converting cash into prospects, circumventing the draft

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

Ok fine

He’s a way we hit the salary floor

We can’t pay all our players in pesos.

Which is why I think they should go after a SP or two

or make a serious run at Soler

Which starters are available

That are reasonable?

Oswalt, Webb, Jackson, Duke to name a few
Oswalt has no reason to come here
If we give him a Sheets contract he might
speaking of which he should be healthy

at some point this year right?

I just read what Blez wrote.....I guess the A's are looking at him.
Shouldn't they avert their eyes?
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.

Huh?
Hello friends
Happy new year!
You too y²!

How’d you celebrate?

Drank with friends

You?

Drank with strangers

And one friend.

So far I liked 2011 better.
xoxoxo
Hey yi
Er, meant "you"

How was your nye?

fun. yourz???
Good.

Good.

FKin' Raiders
yes fucking raiders

Also if I was the Pats or Ravens I would be upset that the Steelers get a bye week too.

I think I'm going to print out Chuck Bresnahan's face and chip golf balls at it.
If I had a son who was potty-training, I'd use his face as a piss target
Here come the 'boys
Woo!
Pump yer brakes, Ric Flair

Still a big comeback :-P

Where the hell was this team in the first half?
Lulling the G-men into a false sense of security
DeMarcus Cousins seems to be a brat.

I need new teams.

townsendradio

I’ve heard from a little birdie that the entire @RAIDERS defensive coaching staff was fired after the game. We’ll see tomorrow @957thegame
i'm glad i'm part of the offensive coaching staff.
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?

He is the top football guy, I assume it is him
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.

Who is gonna fire him, himself?

Until Davis puts his stamp on this team Hue is running the show.

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.

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.

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.

It had something to do with the estate tax iirc
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.

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.

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.
i think how polite you were to me proves your complete sweetness :)
I always try to be polite and have fresh, minty breath.
you are hard to no be polite too

also you are strong

truth &heart;
fuck. now i am NOT MAKING A HEART (except for in my mind)
alt+3

is much easier ♥♥♥♥♥♥

num pad not above the letters
Sean Lee will be a Pro Bowler next year
How is his cartooning?
wtf first I'm hearing of this
D_VanDyke8 DeMarcus Van Dyke
Say a prayer for the fan that fell out of the stands after the game.
Really?....that seems to be happening a lot lately.
Doesn't sound too bad

linky

I will say this our kickers rock and they rock hard.
Andrew Bailey's twitter picture

Is now him in a Red Sox cap. That’s not fun to see.

Well, he's probably pretty happy about it.
closer to home too
Yeah

I imagine I’d be pretty excited to go from a tugboat to a cruise ship.

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.

And yet Cliff Lee chose the Phillies
His wife is pretty fired up too.
It made me ill.
Fuck Boston.
Yeah outside of More than a Feeling they weren't much of a band.
Making us wait eight years for their next album - assholes
Now it's time to begin Raiders withdrawls.....as much as they kill me I'll miss the hell out of watching them play.
I can easily do without more games like today's travesty
I know but I still love them even though I know they'll always break my heart.
Go for it!
erm nm

though looked like the Giants jumped or the Cowboys started late

Yup

Hopefully they challenge

Okay I will......I'm going to quit my job and live my dream as an exotic dancer.
*waves a dollar*
Well, hello there
Maybe I should start playing Madden again so my Raiders could be good somewhere.
Dallas has to win right? I really don't know the NFC situation at all.
Whoever wins the game wins the NFC East
So how many coaches get fired tomorrow?
Head coaches or also coordinators?
New faces in

Miami, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, San Diego, Tampa Bay, St. Louis and maybe Kansas City.

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.

Caldwell will depend on what they do with Manning.....I think Morris a DOA.
I'm also pretty sure Turner is looking at OC offers as we speak.
That's where he's best suited
I'd hire him as an OC but never as a HC.

Same with Wade Phillips as a DC.

Son of Bum
Yep....those old Oilers teams were pretty good.
Didn't see this comment, haha
☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○......so that's how that works.....and yes I've been here for 3 years.
haha
I don't have a 10-key :(
that I can figure out how to use

there ya go
I had to use the number lock to turn on the 10-key.
I have a full sized keyboard hooked into my laptop.....it makes life easier.
me either i have to type 1 and 0
Here come the 'boys
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.

Cruz is KILLING Dallas

Ugh

Mobile site is borked?
Nm
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.

dunno let me fire it up on my phone
i want cake.
I want a new football team.....cake sounds good though.
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)

right now a piece of chocolate will do nicely. :) generally i'm not a sweets person, though. i would demand fancy cheese and bread. :)
Uh no

More like my friend wrote

RAIDERS LEAD THE DENVER BRONCOS TO AFC WEST TITLE, PLAYOFFS DESPITE TIM TEBOW

OK, now I'm gonna have to go puke
Seriously...Tebow was 6-22 for 60 yards and a pick he did nothing today to lead the Broncos anywhere.
He convinced Jesus to make the Raiders play the way they did, so the Donkeys wouldn't have to try too hard
Especially considering that muffed punt at the 20

and then they mange like 3 yards and a FG

Sounds like the 49ers offense.
I'll be rooting for pure evil...aka Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers to rock the Flyin' Tebows next week.
I'm pretty sure Tebow's gonna get his ass kicked by the Steelers D.
You'd think
I have no doubts, really.
My only doubt is the old any given Sunday thing....you just never know.
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.

I can't wait to see James Harrison running at him
Brady Quinn must really suck
The hate that Tebow riles up in people makes me smile.
That was a pretty ass punt
He punted with his ass?

No wonder it only went 26 yards.

Hey, 26 yards is pretty good if you're punting with your ass.
How does someone punt with their ass?
You'd be surprised at all the things one can do with one's ass.
Call me.
This sounds promising...
If you want to see a pretty ass look at my avatar.
If you wanna see an ugly ass, look at me.
If you're a Giants fan
The Cowboys are fucked.
Yup

It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason. I’ve accepted this.

You think Garrett will be back?
Yup

Not entirely sure how I feel about it, but he’ll be back.

I'd be really surprised if Face Lift fired him.
Maybe he'll finally get some sense

Fire Garrett and hire Cowher. I can dream, though.

I've heard he loves Jeff Fisher
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.

His clock management seems poor, too.
I didn't see the L the first time I read that.
That I don't know about.
Yup

Iced his own kicker.

My only concern with Cowher is passion

he’s been out for awhile now so you wonder how much he really wants it.

Mike SIngletary would probably like another shot at HC.
Oh dear God...may he go to the Broncos or the Chiefs
San Diego may be looking for a coach soon.
Fox and Allen aren't going anyhere

McCoy might though

I haven't watched them much this year.

What do they need to do in the draft?

CB or O-lineman

If Costa is the starting center next year, they’re fucked.

Niners need OL's too.

At least one guard. Davis isn’t working out. And obviously a QB.

I have heard good things about Davis this season

You mean Snyder/Rachal, right?

Snyder has played well when healthy.

Davis, from what I’ve seen, is ok as a run blocker, but not good at pass blocking.

He's also in his second pro year

And has shown improvement. Gotta give him at least 3 seasons, no?

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.

He was asking to get that ball stripped
To whom it may concern.....if you want to create a Lounge Nation.....I'm all in.
Holy shit, it's raining here.
Men?
Sadly, no.

I doubt they’d survive the fall, leaving me with less competition.

Crap.

I was loading my ass into the car

You still should. I'm here.
I'd drive the other way.
Smart woman
Cock blocker.
Well, I did mostly block when I played ball.

mostly I watched from the sideline and looked tough.

I mostly watched Star Trek and played D&D.
Hmm....we had different HS experiences.
Yeah, well while you were busy getting some, I was looking at Victoria's Secret catalogs.

So, pretty much the same.

He'll teach you how to ass punt
Lesson #1:

It works best without pants.

Most of life does.
Appropriate for the lounge
I am worried about Bloom.
Why? What's up?
I think he's about gone from AN.
This.
I REALLY don't like this.

Man, AN is falling apart really fast.

It really is

the whole thing is sad but it’s getting obvious change is needed.

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.

I've been a big Nico fan for 3 years but he's just plain wrong

and he keeps making it worse.

I don't remember the last time I went to AN for the A's.
I come for you folks so if you all start to leave then I'll have no reason to stay.
why?
All I know is FK is booming at the moment
I've been a member over there since it started...

and…. well, I’m still over here.

Hopefully you are happy there
That's why I am still here.
I still would prefer to stay at AN

I fit in here already.

I think it'll all die down.
I just think it's going to be a quieter site.
damn...so that's where DMOAS went

:(

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.

I agree, Complete Stranger.

The Lounge rules all.

Oh, and nice to meetcha!

Ooof.

There’s been so much to catch up on here, that I haven’t read FK in a while. That bad, huh?

He seemed okay last night
Nico's new 2 week plan didn't help his mood I'm guessing or mine.
Do we have new sub-threads to vote on yet?
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.

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.

i haven't gotten to that part yet. :(
Go find a stranger.

No go outside and have him head upwind of you. Now have him piss.

That’s what it amounts to.

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.

I don't guess anyone wants to summarize?

I can’t put myself through reading it all.

Mike is still banned....Nico is going to punt for 2 weeks....meta won't be allowed outside of overflow threads.
mike is unbanned according to danbot

link

Will he come back, though?
Would you?

I know I sure as fuck wouldn’t.

Me either.....but he should be allowed to if he wants
Hell, I left for months after getting a strike once.
I got a Nico letter once...I got a little pissy and then moved on as I was in the wrong.
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.

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.

do I have to put my mean september face on???
Ha!.....I'd go whack anyone who ever gave you a flag.
You don't flag all of my comments anymore?

:(

I usually rec yours

I’m your biggest fan.

That's true, you are.

After all, you’re my ONLY fan.

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.

Mike can be abrasive, but I don't think he's ever malicious.
I would agree with this.
I mostly agree

I hope he comes back if he wants to. I feel the same way about DFA as well.

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.

I understand that

It would probably help if I left AN as well for his return.

isn't the maligned person the one that usually flags stuff?

or if it’s an OBVIOUS violation.

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?

Well - since I never flag anyone - I don't know. i think it's technically against the CGVs??
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.

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.

I left for two years for no reason.
Let's see....I've quit twice

and taken 4 AN breaks…..of course I tend to be dramatic.

Because I wasn't here, so why bother coming?
I doubt it, but we'll see.
Also, that's just slapping a band-aid on the problem.

Mike’s ban was a symptom of a bigger problem.

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?

I'm with you
I did not read Elcroata's thread.....tooo long. I didn't get why he was banned in the first place.
According to what I have read, he repeatedly made fun of Nico.
It's a personal thing at this point

I only skimmed that thread and it still took an hour.

j, i'm sorry. that sucks. :( also, can someone explaine the gatorade shower?
You don't remember the Giants dousing Parcells after winning the SB back in the mid-80's?
Yep Big Tuna was the first coach to get the bath
Fish out of water
i didn't mean in general. i meant, why did the new jersey gints do it right now? :(
cause they won
so what. :( i thought that was done before going to disneyworld? :(
Because this win puts them in the playoffs.
And yeah, sorry Yon.

Ozzwife is a Cowboys fan, so I was cheering for your guys.

I was prepared for it

They’ve really, really, really, really sucked on national TV this year.

Cowboys lost

good, I hate ’em.

but 'Muricas team
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.

I understand

We can all come together in our collective hate of the football universe, right?

No, I'm pretty happy about football right now.

I’m sorry.

It's been a long time since you 49er fans had reason to be happy

so congrats and good luck in the playoffs.

Thanks!

They’re probably gonna face NO in 2 weeks, so they’ll need all the luck they can get.

Luck is a pipe dream
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.

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.

And I am happy for the true 49ers fans

I just wouldn’t mind if they were one and done :-).

You might get your wish.

Unless the defensive Smiths can get in Brees’ face early and often.

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.

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.

Why would the Nazis hate the Raiders?
wrong colors bro
Oh, of course.
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?”

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.

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.

Yeah, the talent was already there.

A new QB would be nice, though.

Yeah the Carolinas sucks for Redskins/Cowboys etc fans.
Holy shit The Smurfs grossed $142 million?

and WTF is Hop and it got 108 million

Forget about that.

Alvin and the Chipmunks made so much money that they made Alvin 3: Chipwrecked. GAAAAAH.

Jason Lee made me sad
David Cross, too.
oh shit he is in it, for shame David, FOR SHAME
Hey everybody.
Hi Dan....we need a new football team to root for.
We seriously do.
The Panthers are accepting fans.
DAN!

What’s up?

Hey!

Not too much. Been so meta lately. AND, I got the stomach flu for christmas. That was fun.

The gift that keeps on giving.
Hope you're feeling better now?
Hah, yes.

24 hours, mostly. Thank god.

Good.

The flu really sucks.

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…..

I can relate....it was an awful day.
Look at it this way:

Campbell is back next year.

He's a FA....we're locked into Pick Six Palmer for next year

I sure hope McFadden can get a new foot though.

Oh. Well, crap.
McFadden...theres another Joke....He is the Rich Harden of football.....
He's Mr. Glass but he's so damn talented....it's tough.
Yep...Just like Harden....when he plays he is awesome...he was having an MVP type season.....then DONE!!
It's a good comparison....I'm jealous I didn't think of it first
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.

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!!!

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.

How in the hell was Richard Seymour elected to the pro bowl....
Big name

our kickers were the only guys I’d vote for.

Tebow's an alternate.

That’s simply bullshit.

Bad year for AFC QB's
Worst Pro Bowler ever?
I'd have to think about it but it seems possible
but ... BUT...

HE LED HIS TEAM TO THE AFC WEST TITLE

And Stafford isn't
I had Stafford in fantasy.

That was fun.

520 yards today.

And what, 4 TD’s?

Eh, we didn't play week 17.

But god, seriously? That’s crazy.

Yeah.

And Flynn had 480 yards and 6 TD’s for GB.

Detroit's D is stinky.
So is GB's.
Yep if it's them and the Patriots in the SB

it’s first team to 50 wins.

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.

When they cause turnovers they aren't bad.
That's the key for them.
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.

As I said up the thread Matt Flynn made a lot of money today.
It amazes me that someone will give him a fat contract based on 1 game.
But it will

to be fair I’ve heard a lot of teams liked Flynn even before today.

Oh, I'm sure it will happen.

I really don’t know anything about Flynn, except that he might be better than Alex Smith.

That's a long list

although hey AS did what he was asked to do this season and it worked.

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.

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.

OH WAIT, never mind.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1000632-pro-bowl-2012-why-tim-tebow-deserves-to-go-over-philip-rivers

So convincing.

you linked BR I have a sad
For the hilarity factor.

The only reason I’d ever link a BR.

still means you knew it was there
that was horrible
Deep and irrefutable.
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?????
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.

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.

Well it means that we only gave up one pick for him since we didnt make the playoffs...
a 1st this year and a 2nd next year right?
Wasn't it:

If playoffs, 1st + 1st next year
If not, 1st + 2nd next year

That's what I thought
Yeah I meant 1st round pick...
Chuck Bresnahan needs to be fired. Today.
Three weeks ago would've been better

But yeah.

I saw a uhaul parked outside the coliseum..Im hoping that it was full of his shit...
what happened? If you don't mind talking about it. Did not see the game. got a puppy instead!
Congrats on the puppy....the Raiders D was beyond awful...didn't make the Chargers punt once.
Wait, seriously?

Not even once?

Nope....they did throw a pick, miss a FG and turn the ball over on downs but no punts.
Sigh.
Yeah zero punts....way to go D..way to step up in a big game...
What was it, TWO 99 yard drives that SD had?

Ugh.

The Raiders' game plan was something like this:

Play well for 10 minutes. Play badly for 20 minutes. Repeat until you lose.

And then decide that trading field goals for TDs is a good idea.
Someone farted in our BART car on the way back from the game

It was the appropriate ending to the day.

He who denied it supplied it
It was a really shitty ending...
Townsend tweeted the entire D staff got fired
Phew.
here is the text
townsendradio

I’ve heard from a little birdie that the entire @RAIDERS defensive coaching staff was fired after the game. We’ll see tomorrow @957thegame
You can't allow 31 fucking points in an elimination game. Period.
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.

They had 'backers trying to cover receivers today, too

Obviously, since it worked so well before, let’s try it again.

Well, it's not like Vincent Jackson is any good or anything.
He has been according to CT
omg keep grasping at straws tebowites
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).
Maybe it's because Tebow can only run like 10 plays?
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.

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.

I might be for his execution at this point.
Nah - just tie him to a tank car on the next UP train leaving Oakland.
As long as he's gone I'm cool with however he leaves.
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

I don't want to look at that.
You know, I can see the aftermath in person,

but seeing how that shit happend? Nope.

It's just a picture of the aftermath.

Ewwwwwwww.

Yeah... I looked.

I can see why they asked for the cart immediately.

Okay, I did anyway.

I’m like Oz. Tell him not to look at something, and he does anyway.

Damn, a leg ain't supposed to look like that.
Urlacher's didn't look pretty either.
Urlacher is broken?

When did this happen?

I don't if it broke, but the injury wasn't pretty.
Sprained MCL.
I had a class with him at UNM.

We never met, there were 150 people or so in the class.

brutal

Even though I hate the Donkeys, that’s awful.

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.

Your phone must be a fascinating place.
I started saving the good shit.
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.

No. Dear God, no.

OH BOY, no.

I believe in lessons that require extensive therapy.
It's an ever-changing house of fascination/horror.
Why do I always look at things I tell myself I'm not going to look at.
If Bloom asks,

we all want to see him naked.

I've wanted that for going on 3 years now.
You and me both.
But the only thing I hate more than men is naked men. :(
The more I learn about you, the more I think we might be the same person.
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.

There are a few things different about us...

but we might be sisters.

Ha! I *knew* my parents were lying when they said I wasn't adopted.
Your sister from a different mister.
You may hate us, but all us men here luv you.
we aren't the prettiest things all nude

odd skin flapping around oh and when we bend, yikes

So you don't find back hair sexy huh?
It's less of a dealbreaker than the 'is a man' thing.

Chest hair is awesome, though.

Good thing my pelt is on the front.
Good man.

A girl’s gotta have some traction.

I've gotten mostly positive reviews.
Because the negative reviews never speak to you again?
That and my ears only hear good news.
We should look you up on Yelp to see.
Angie's list!
Angie's List
Is there an echo in here?
Yelp and Angie's List.....sounds like a band name
Alright, well everybody have a good night......
Doubtful but be well, WAC.
Night Bry

Sorry about today

Night Bryan! D:
So I learned today that my unibrow had great value.

It hid my Neanderthal brow bone.

Me Oz you Jane
So easy, even a caveman can do it.
That's hurtful Brian Orakpo
You lost your unibrow today?
I trimmed it up and shaved off the area in the middle.
..... Anyone want to take this one?
So Oz is Lady Oz now
so like a reverse landing strip?
Yep. On my face.
You must be so proud.
It's the closest I'll ever get to a girl sitting on my face, so...
Your poor wife
You're just now realizing that?
some sort of trail?

Words hurt, Doc.
So if the world is truly ending this year

What do you need to do?

I’ve got a pretty long list.

I should probably put on some clean underwear.
collect all the dragon soul
SO many other things I need to do first.

Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, the civil war…

Catching up on BB.
READ ALL THE BOOKS.
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

SKYRIM FOREVER.

ALL THE DRAGONS MUST DIE.

This is true

I’m trying to maintain my larger, in life aspirations.

Those will all go away once I start playing.

Might as well max out the credit cards, too.
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?

Hooray more valium!
I'll trade you some xanax for some valium.
might need to add a low level pill
I can see this will be the start of a beautiful friendship.

And probably some misdemeanor drug trafficking across state borders.

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.

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? :(
In a couple if years neither will we!
They'll hit up the calendar store in the mall that opens every year around Thanksgiving.
it is like they squat for 6 weeks and no one cares
If I had to squat for 6 weeks, I'd go see the doctor.
I had my annual check up last week....it turns out I suffer from male pattern baldness....I know...I was shocked too.
Have you told the wife yet?
I'm hiding by wearing lots of hats and my membership in the Whig Party helps too.
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.

My wife actually loves my head shaved

I’m down to the 1/8 inch cut all over.

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.

I'm scared I might be abnormally bumpy
The wife told me before I shaved that I had a funny-shaped head.
My head is WASP perfection.
Mine is Indian adequacy.
Thats funny.

I look at your picture, and you remind me of someone. I just can’t put a finger on it….

Jason Bourne?
I saw him on the tv last night
Jason Voorehees?
Naw...

I’m thinking more like Pat Boone

Pat Buchanan?
Could be

Or Michelle Bachman. Hey, Ozz, suck on a corndog for me!

dont make me post the pic
That should be a chili dog, down at the Tastee Freeze
Diane sitting on Jackie's lap, got his hand between her knees.
Oh yeah? Life goes on, Bloom.
Michelle Bachmann reminds you of a bald Indian dude?
She only reminds me of one with hair.
Well, your picture is of a longhaired,

Pale-faced brunette..

Oh, that pic. RIght.
Yeah that chick is strange looking

does she like bats?

And if so,

can she play 3rd base?

As well as Kouz.
If she can bat AND play 3rd as well as Kouz...

SIGN HER UP!

Luckily my head is smooth on the parts that no longer have hair.

And this part continues to grow by the hour.

Oh good.

There’s a wikihow for ‘How to Overcome a Fear of 2012’.

How helpful.

Does it recommend to take it one day at a time?
No. :(
do NOT be afraid

see my comment below, nothing whatsoever to fear.

.

I miss that guy
Are those tribbles on his chest?
I have a wacky collection of phobias.
Fuck. We ARE related.
Told ya.
I'd have to agree
Bitch, no one asked you.

Now get back in the kitchen and make me some cake!

yeah, whatever

I’m done baking. its sit on my ass time now, so screw off :)

Her and Kyli?

Break out the popcorn!

oh, and I don't make cakes

cookies, pie, cheesecake, brownies – but not cake

Well, that's just fucking dumb.
cakes are so yesterday
THERE WAS CAKE YESTERDAY?
you didn't get the text?
No. You guys went without me, just like you normally do.
I told you last time to get on the road and come
Can't we meet in the middle?

I just love cats!
I'm good....maybe find a way to play Augusta National.
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.

I'm not losing a lot of sleep on this one.
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.

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.

I know

It’s total bs, just thought it’d be fun convo

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.

Ha!

You really ARE funny.

this being an example of total bs by Oz.
Yeah, you're not that funny.
Just in the looks department.
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.”

see my comment above

Apocalypse sells, esp. to mortals such as we.

Harold Camping agrees
What does Harold the Barrel think?

That’s for EN.

he can't last long, whatever he thinks
This has reminded me to put up my new golf calendar in the office.
My goals for 2012.....finish a marathon...read 52 books and stay perfect.
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.

I want to eat more bacon
Honestly if 2012 is half as good as 2011 I'm cool.

Healthy family, happy at work….life is sweet.

YAY!

Although if the Raiders won a couple more games, you probably wouldn’t complain.

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.

I can see that.

Babies trump everything else.

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.

That's what nannies are for.
Me no rich

and besides I’m having a blast even though I’m close to being part of the walking dead.

I thought you were the 1%.

It’s ironic that a guy named Bed isn’t getting enough sleep.

I hope to be in the 1% one day

and I need some rest badly but I’ll get it soon…I hope.

Yeah, once she's married.

Say, another 25 years or so?

Oh Christ.....I'm dead.
hi there.

I hear you want to see me naked.

Howdy friend.
Hi, LB!

Anything that gets you to stay. You and the others in the lounge are what keeps me going.

Pics or it didn't happen.
See, he's home. Safe and sound, and home!

(heads back to the New Country)

I left bread crumbs.
Good I'm making a meatloaf.
Here goes nothing

Hello, skyrim

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.

Goodbye life.
you know between that and the steam sale I'm good for awhile
I was kinda disappointed with the Steam sale, actually.

Spent five bucks on Bastion, but that’s it.

I'm old and don't understand steam.
Well, that's just confusing.

Everything old used to run on steam.

So much better than mine.

Damn you.

it really is. significantly so.
Thanks. That usually doesn't happen.
I'm oldish and I learned right quick
When water gets hot, it turns into a gas.
See, as you get older, this changes.

You have to be more concerned that your gas turns into a liquid…

Or a solid.
I'm passed that....
I hadn't bought anything since Oblivion and Bioshock 1
See you in six months.
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.

It's Lounge Nation, baby.
WooHoo!

REC’D!

Damn right.

You staying?

maybe. let's see how it shakes out.
Just like television shows.

You gotta deal with the re-runs a while until the new shit comes out after the holidays.

I'm willing to juggle for your amusement to get you to stay.

I can also offer up Oz as your plaything.

...can we get some smokes for him from the ABers?
I think we can make this deal happen.
You'd just trade me away?

Ouch.

for smokes?!
You would rather suck down poison than spend time with me.
[turns head quizzically]

um…duh….

I taste way better than any cig.
But you don't last as long.

Or so I’ve heard.

I subscribe to the fast food theory of sex.

Work fast, serve as many as possible.

huh

I’m doing something wrong then

Well, I didn't say it was working.
... and leave a bad taste in their mouths?
That's why I include a large Coke.
that would imply super sized
No, we renamed the smallest size "Large."
I'm such a bitch
A bitchety bitchy bitch.
I'm once, twice, three times a bitch....
I was never good at math.

Does that make you a royal bitch, or a fucking bitch?

I think it makes me Canadian.
Oh, they're the worst.
Is that even a real country?
America Lite.
Ah

’cause I always thought it was just something John Candy made up to sell his movie

You should probably find a Canadian and say soory.
I'll think aboot it
Good.

I’m glad.

Good.

I’m glad.

twice?
He's really, REALLY glad.
super secret double glad
Dammit.

I take it back. Both of them.

back, back, back, back?

Geeze one day down on the new year and I already broke my resolution

anybody know where I can bury a body?

in the ground
That seems logical.
Ask Siri.
Tom Cruise's kid knows what to do with dead bodies?
that's fucking funny, right there.
I saw Chickie's name pop up so I guess his ban is off too.
damn it, how'd he escape the lava pit is what I wanna know...
Let's just make sure sirbed is still in a Mexican prison.
I told you to get some sharks with fricking lasers on their heads.
I love Dr. Evil
All you bald white guys stick together.
Right......
(puts pinky finger in mouth)
Better than the alternative.
Depends on what they're paying me
1 million dollars!
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?

Sure, if that's what it takes.
Dr. Evil was the only reason I loved those movies

I kept rooting for him to beat Austin.

He has hot wings now.
mmmm....he's delicious...
mmmm

hot wings

mmmm. ranch.
yes please!

That is hilarious.

You’re so gullible. It’s endearing.

I'll ban each and every one of you.
Elcroata will start a fan post about it.
I told someone important to fuck off
The Giants?

REC’D!

yes!

FUCK THE GNATS

REC'D!

Except, after re-reading it, I see you wrote “important”. I thought you wrote “impotent”

When did you tell me to fuck off?
I do that every single day
Oh yeah.

I just tune you out.

I'm watching the ID channel.

They are telling me how to get rid of a body. Stay tuned, Bed.

All I learned I learned from TV
It involved some bags and a saw.
probably used the tub to drain the blood too
(writes this down)
Why not use the old theory about hiding things in plain sight?

Leave the body on your sofa.

That would awesome.

OH FUCK, WHEN DID THAT GET THERE!?!?

Or go for a Weekend at Bernie's thing.
Ever feel like you're Bernie?
Only when I take too many muscle relaxers.
LOL
I mixed too many CNS depressants once,

and I could feel myself dying in my parents living room chair.

that must have been fun :P
the great thing about it is you don't care!
I could feel my breathing get really shallow.

It was scary as fuck

Every day, upon getting out of bed.

Right before I take a vicodin.

Of course I'm in Arkansas....I'll just say it was a hunting accident

my 27th in the last year.

I have terrible aim.
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.”

I couldn't hit water if I fell out of a boat with a rifle.
Why would you have a rifle on a boat?
Canadians could be near by.
Shoot on sight!

But what are Canadians doing in Arkansas? Hell, what are Americans doing in Arkansas?

Shooting fish. Duh.
Sounds very redneck.
Maybe, but it is effective.
You can drink a whole lot more beer while holding a fishing pole.
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.

He's in Arkansas, remember?
Yeah, but why?
I don't do much well

but I can hit any target with a rifle

I'm good with a pistol
You sex pistol, you!
Preppy love is dangerous with it's deadly aim.
I'm great with rubber bands.
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.

I want to shoot a gun.
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.

I suck at pool.
It just comes naturally to me...it's weird.
I got a B in geometry, you'd think I'd be at least ok.
So, you're one of those "stathead" guys.

You know, the ones that are screwing up everything.

I'm trying, anyway.
I can't remember what I got but I doubt it was good.
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.”

You're a natural born teacher....of future felons.
I believe in honesty.
I read this as.."of huger melons"

I AM the uprising.

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.

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.

Arkansas...Guns, God and Groping your cousin.

I like to say here in Arkansas we're only stuck in the 50's.....the 1850's
Sounds like SC is AR with beaches.
Probably

I mostly like it here but there are things that drive me nuts as a Californian.

Me too.

Mostly it’s when people talk to me.

Why, suh!

Whatevah do you mean?

People here refer to the Civil War as "the unpleasantness."
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.

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.
Yep.....treason isn't very patriotic.
You mean like the Founding Fathers?
That's different.

It’s ok to revolt against a bunch of crumpet-eating nancy boys.

Its only different when you win.
That's really it.
Well sure, the victor writes the history.

But there are big differences.

No there isn't
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.

I think that's a different deal, Tutu
It's weird. Southerners buy into the myths they've created about themselves, and then they try to live up to them.

In the end, they end up as caricatures.

We need one of those laws in the UK...
I killed a group of ninjas once. with a machete.
Brandon Allen killed a group of ninjas just by shouting at them.

She put the body in the freezer, then set the house on fire. The freezer was the only thing left.

It’s actually quite informative.

no. I'd go youtube.
Now you're just making words up.
sometimes words just don't belong together.
It seems all the net names are odd to me....but I'm old and stuck in the past.
stay away from steam.
I'll stick with the Peter Gabriel version.
Guess what my name was in the past?
steamy blogfather?
I used to go by another name in the past.

Spinning Jenny

huh. well, that's super interesting.
That's my old-timey stripper name.
You're Jenny from the Mo.
The possiblities boggle the mind
I prefer the Superego channel.
Enough for me

‘night, y’all.

BOOBIES!

G’night.

Goodnight drK!

Sweet dreams of BOOBIES!

OK, I just banned all of you and then reinstated you under each other's screen names.

So Bloom is now gigs, Dan is now Chicken, Tutu is now Jennifer and Bed is now everybody.

B-but...

I throw up at the sight of blood!

I'm tough....I just pass out at the sight of blood.
I was bound to be everybody at some point
[poop]
That was quick!
