Numbskull. I didn't see what you'd posted till about a minute before I responded. I have a job. I'm sorry I can't reply to your posts immediately. My practice isn't just telling people to take it or leave it. I have to go see clients, and Judges, plus, especially on Friday afternoon I like to take naps.

Here's the response i "thought up" with time.


Thurgreed, you keep forgeting I'm a black woman only pretending to be a tired white guy. Of course I know your lexography.
When I said "sexrap" I was trying to sound like an out of touch white guy somewhere in the midwest. That's my traget style. So when you "insult" me by saying I sound like a tired white guy, you're actually complimenting me, see?
And, since you were trying to insult me, I think your post is a WHIFF.

Superbowl
 
Ollie wins. LFM was closest but he, being an honest soul, pointed out to me that he broke the rules when he bet after noon. Ollie was second closest, so he wins.

Ollie just PM me or something and let me know how you want the 25 dollar gift certificate sent to you, and from what site you want it.

Had to be planned. She was wearing leather, but had one of those nipple dot thingies on. Besides, I don't think Justin has balls like that.

I enjoyed it. Thank God for Tivo.

Quote:

I'd say somebody like Outkast, Justin Timberlake or Beyonce, though if there's someone with a Houston connection that could be a possibility as well.
What do I win? I mean, besides the freaky peep show?

Despite Janet's reaction, it was obviously planned. When you perform simulated sex acts on audience members on stage during your shows, you lose the benefit of the doubt...

Here's what Matt Drudge has to say about it:

"Top CBS executives approved a musical skit where Janet Jackson would expose her breast during the MTV-produced Super Bowl half-time concert, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The decision to go forward went to the very top of the network," a well-placed source explained from New York."

He usually has pretty good inside info.

Only when you take them off.

And I completely missed JJ's tit. We were busy watching the lingerie bowl*. Had I actually paid for it and not gotten it for free through my descrambler, I would have been pissed. Someone needs to kick Tracy Bingham's ass. It sucked. But they definitely weren't messing around. There were some real hits out there.

*we were fully expecting bras/underwear to come down/off when tackling ensued. Not so. No one could figure out how their clothes stayed on? Adhesive?

Gravy:
I placed a $10 bet on this prop:

(1) Jake Delhomme's 1st pass is incomplete - won
(2) Neither Manning nor Minter intercepts - won
(3) Panthers will not score in both the first AND second quarters - won
(4) Ricky Prohl over 15.5 receiving yards - won
(5) Rodney Harrison over 8 tackles (solo + assists) - won, and Rodney broke his arm on the last tackle.

$10 won me $140.

football betting
 
I won over $3000 on an investment of $200 betting on the NFL this season (including a $450 payoff on the playoff pool). Football has been berry berry good to me. Of course that merely offsets blackjack losses over the last couple of years, so no income reporting is required.

Mr Man is happily tagging along on the planned Vegas trip we are taking with the winnings...

Next year I will likely suck at football predicting, but for today, I gloat.

No. That would be hurtful, if you'd said it. But I don't think you will; I know I occasionally bring a smile to your face Thurgreed, or what must pass for a smile in your case.

Because I listened to the Super Bowl while working in the kitchen, I missed all the fun visuals. I heard the sportscasters referring to the streaker but couldn't get to the living room quickly enough to see, at long last, what Shape Shifter looks like.

It sounds like missing it was a good thing, in a keeping the fantasy alive kind of way.

I watched the Superbowl in an apartment not too far from one of the rail stops, less than two miles from the stadium. About two hours before the game, I was outside on the patio watching the rail go by and I overheard a cell phone conversation from the patio next door. There was a huge ass wall between the two units, so I didn't see the speaker and I dont' think she knew I was there.

She was calling a friend and started her conversation with "guess where I am NOT?" And then she recounted how she and her husband had parked their car at their friends' apartment not too far from one of the rail stops, had walked to the rail and gotten on, go off at the stadium exit and laughed at the people trying to sell tickets for $3000 each, got to the stadium and found that they no longer had their tickets. Apparently they'd been pick-pocketed at some point on the rail. They searched around for a bit, talked to a few unsympathetic cops, and ended up getting back on the rail to go and watch the game elsewhere. Needless to say, she was pissed off.



I liked the Budweiser donkey commercial, and apparently Budweiser went to five different ad companies before deciding which one to go with. I can't remember, without refreshing my recollection, any of the other commercials.

this hits close to home. The bastard. Most of the "mistakes" in the last file he gave were really his fault, cuz he didn't explain stuff very much. The client said it wasn't going to sue, and just wanted to take its file, so no harm.
I thought for sure he knew that it was his fault, and I'd get the new file. I studied up on the client on the internet and everything. Then he gives the file to that other guy. I'm 3rd year, he's only 2nd! What gives?

Has anyone seen this? Did we discuss it and I missed it? What a fucked up movie. I had a friend like Evie when I was 13. Pretty sure she kept me around because I was the perfect cover for her fiascos.

In certain scenes Mr. Kiss kept saying, "This would be hot if they were not supposed to be 13."

BOSTON — Thousands of New England Patriots fans swarmed into the streets after the team's white-knuckle Super Bowl win, and some turned rowdy, overturning cars and lighting small fires. One person was killed when an SUV backed into a group of revelers.




I just don't get it. I am a sports fanatic on many levels but I just don't see myself tipping over cars, lighting fires and killing people because my team won (or lost, as the case may be). How does vandalism and death grow from "I am so damned happy that [insert your team here] won"? :shakehd:

I don't know - people just get rowdy when they're all drunk and hyped up. shit happens. Not that I approve, of course. It just tends to happen.

Super Bowl and SB Contest
 
On the Super Bowl:

I hope coaches will now realize that within the last 3 minutes, just scoring isn't good enough. You should also aim to score with as little time left on the clock as possible. NBA teams do a good job of this (2 for 1 situations, etc.). NFL teams do not. Why did the Panthers call a time out with 90 seconds left after the completion to Proehl on the 15 yard line. How many more plays are they planning on running from the 15? Dumb. They should have taken their freakin time.

On the Super Bowl contest:

Future contests like this (closest to final score) should have used lowest sum of squares method. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

(New England's actual points-Entry's guessed points for N.E) squared, + (Carolina's actual points-Entry's guessed points for Carolina) squared = Entry's score. Lowest sum of squares score wins.

The only thing that surprised me about any of this is that today's Chicago Sun Times ran an unblurred photo of Janet with nipple (and of course, nipple ring) clearly visible. Of course, the Sun Times is basically a tabloid, but I still didn't expect to see an unedited version.

Thank you Sun Times.

I was distracted by the Lingerie Bowl. I don't think getting hit with the pads* those girls were wearing would feel very good against bare skin...

Tush Munch's contribution to the board is that his presence here makes the Democrats feel all warm and fuzzy about what a diverse crowd they cyber-hang out with. Meanwhile, if he were walking behind them on the street, these same people would be clutching their purses and have their cellphones ready to dial 911 if necessary. Of course they would never admit that here, though.
