Interesting. Might be worth a read. If it doesn't skew too basic. The history stuff should be good regardless.

I thought of you yesterday when Arian Foster fell to me at fifth pick in my fantasy draft. I hope his injury is not substantial. Guess I'll be watching some Texans games this year. I'm like the all-injury squad with Foster, Peyton Manning (3rd Round), Javhid Best (4th Round), Jermichael Finley (5th Round) and Darren McFadden (Keeper). Half my team is injured before the first game. Hmm.

I can totally see that leading to a call for security.


That's really not the sort of thing you should post publicly.

eta: Because apparently doing so kills the board.

what is the national football fan real take on the Lions? they are being hyped as having a real chance here, but I can't take them seriously until they have actually made it to the super Bowl, I can't enjoy the ride because I've seen them crash too often.

They will do better than they usually do, but I think playoffs are unlikely this year. If stafford gets hurt, game over, though their defense seems pretty solid.

Most important in non-flyers who think they need a separate bin for each item of jewlry, one for each bag, and forget about their phone.

Fist of an angry god seen headed for San Francisco

If it were me, I'd pick a different year.

Belinda Carlisle circa 2001 was into yoga and taking her clothes off for Playboy.

Belinda Carlisle circa 1987 was into fast food and cocaine, not necessarily in that order.

A NSFW image search on google provides ample evidence in support of my thesis.

Re: Full of impotent rage

I guess, once again, I will be the bull in the china shop. Am I the only one who finds a certain someone's photo response to recent events odd? Don't get me wrong. I like it. I am looking forward to where this goes.

And the best thing to do when the flight attendant is being mean to you is to stand up take off your shoe, take out a lighter and scream "Allah Akhbah!" over and over.

They will suck as usual.

Also, if you have more toiletries than allowed, just put them in two separate ziploc bags--the screeners don't really keep track of the "one per" and you'll get multiple bags through no problem, but won't get one overflowing bag through.

Both probably not something you want to put in print, but it's good traveling advice just the same.
There is a reason you have a better relationship with horses than humans. I can at least fake it - pretending to get fake handjobs from you, but Atti knows when to use the teeth and when to use the gums.

I figure everyone has a different way of dealing with events like that. I only know 2 people who've been through it (and didn't meet the other until many years after the fact) so have no basis to say what's odd or not. As long as it makes the person feel better, why not?

Not to mention that it appears to have been scheduled some time ago.

Can you be a somewhat less cryptic bull?

Or is this post just designed to remind me that I am not connected to the right people on Facebook?

No. I want the one that you take to the McDonald's drive-thru in your Camaro, the one who does a few lines off the glove compartment lid as a prelude to nasty sex among the greasy burger wrappers in the back seat. Not the one who makes you nod along to her testimonials regarding her diet and exercise regimen as you sit in Zen Palate and wonder whether you'll ever get down to it.
