Screw those dinks. In the words of comedian (and Florida native) Daniel Tosh, Florida is nothing but flat, hot and dumb.
Like a lot of women, oddly enough.

When he throws the next segment to one of his colleagues, they'll have plenty of time to get ready due to his slow delivery.
But it will probably land at their feet incomplete.

I would, she looks like someone I know and want to.

I lived on Bowery just above Canal, I lived on the top 4th floor of a big loft building. I had taken my dog for his little walk on the roof (he was old and would pee up there before I went to work), I hopped into the shower and heard a loud noise but thought it must just be a truck driving by off of the Manhattan bridge but I didn't usually hear them in the back 1/2 of the loft (it was 125 ft long x 25 wide), so I thought that was pretty loud. I came out to the front of the loft where my bedroom and the windows were and started to get dressed.
While I was putting on my shirt I looked out..... There was a giant hole in the building and it was burning...I ran to the back again where one of my roommates room was and started yelling to her to come see. She actually came out of the room 1/2 dressed as I sounded like the loft was on fire, I guess. I explained she should get some clothes on and we could go see it from the roof. I tried my phone to call work but it was dead. I stopped at the TV on the way out and turned it on but it was just snow on the picture. I grabbed my camera and we went to the roof.
We could see pretty well that something had hit it and it was burning. But we didn't know what, I thought a missile at first, my phone actually rang and it was my sister calling from Buffalo to see if I was alright. I said yeah, that was when we found out it was a plane. After I hung up, I thought we should go and see if the TV was working again so we went inside (my roommate wanted to get her phone too). The TV was working now and all of a sudden the other plane hit. I saw it on TV and the noise.... it was so loud, I blew out an O2 hose on a tank one time welding right next to me and it was as loud as that. I ran back upstairs again. I didn't go back down until both towers were down. My other roommate came home during the both of them being on fire and brought out some binoculars..... Saw some stuff, I can't unsee. I gave them back to her.
We watched as all the dusty people came up Bowery and the traffic became one way. The cars on both sides of the street going north.
I couldn't go down to the site, I thought about it but I had, had a business on Broad Street a few years before. The business didn't work out, I sort of had bad memories already (my ex and I split up then too). I rode my bike down near Broadway, Trinity church was about as close as you could go, a week or so later. I went back home.
I was working delivering and installing art about a month before that and we did regular trips to the towers, usually about once every 2 weeks. I had a small accident with the truck and they fired me. I got a new job, 2 people I worked with there were there that day but got out. They were in tower 2 (unloading their truck in the basement) and left shortly after plane 1 hit. They had gotten there a little late, which I never did.
The smoke plume of the towers stayed aimed at my house, there was a map on TV sometimes and it seemed to follow me. The smell was bad at times I kept my windows shut, even on warmer days. At Christmas time that year my nephew, his wife and I went up to Bflo for the holiday, the day we were leaving there was a big storm. I saw the beginning of it at 2 am and decided we should try to leave early before they closed the thruway. When I turned on the TV at 6:30 the storm was going right over my sisters house, where I was staying. I could see the doppler radar on TV and it reminded me of the plume, I felt like I was still being chased around by it even in my home town.

Is this why I can't see my avatar anymore? I can't find my Jack Kemp jump pass picture, think it was on my old computer. And really if you have to lose the archive can I just annotate my post count
I almost have 5000. 
JK .
BTW here in Thailand it is really slow sometimes and it seems like when it is busy is the problem (during the game for instance last Sunday).

from anotha' motha' maybe
I love how he is lip syncing and at the end he misses a "fire". He would be so called out nowadays. lol. But it is freaky and a great song.

That right there is where the thread should ended, and crap. I just made it longerPegula just did all 31 owners a huge favor, raising the value of their franchises by hundreds of millions of dollars. You think anyone will vote no? What Pegula did is way more valuable than adding Toronto to the NFL.

Anybody know why Fred was back to return a punt last week? Was McLoving tired from chasing those big guys around? Don't really mind it but I was a bit surprised. Didn't read any reason for it anywhere.

This isn't how I envisioned him making it back but I did think he would for some reason.

" The Stiff Arm to the 3 " Game.
Go watch the Fred Jackson play and watch Kyle Williams being blocked??. As Briggs goes in the lane to get Jackson at the line of Scrimmage, Williams Wood disengages and throws a stiff arm to the streaking Briggs. Briggs fall straight back, 3 seconds later, Fredex delivers 2 more Stiff arms to seal the deal.
Kind of fixed it but IDK what he means, except he still seems excited, lol. It was Wood who flattened Briggs with one arm.
I think he meant Chris Williams. Not Eric or Kyle.
Are you implying Fred Ex smells?Nah, just the Windy City Stiff Arm.
BTW we could call the game the Mary Wilson Era.

Todd France could be the new Overdorf.
Ah now there's a target of a lot of peoples on the board, hate.

One of the select few to sit in Archie Bunker's chair and get away with it.
"Edith don't say nuthin about his eye now."
He also kissed him, think it was on the lips too if memory serves me.

Sure why not? RR was a horrible president!

I only saw redzone and highlights later but good assessment. Tannywacker looks a bit better this year. Wake is a challenge for any RT but I agree with WG that we need to run at him. They have decent lines but are less talented on the outsides on both sides of the ball. They always play the patsies* tough but they do look better than last year, we seem to have the more talented team though. I think home field with the week we have had we can win, should and will.

Huh Kyle?, Think you mean Eric.

Thanks again for doing this SDS, why aren't you playing?

Me too, that's James' brother right?

Nope. Mary is the Bills' owner.
The "Buffalo Marys 23. Chicago Bears 20. OT" game
I think we may already have a glove wearing Mary game, so not sure that's a good one. How about the Captain's game, since all of them played big roles.

I'd had thought it was a cousin or something.

Hey Bills fans, just wanted to congratulate you guys on that win. You guys deserved it more than we did. Also, you guys overcame the refs, which was impressive. It seemed as if you guys were getting penalized way more than us, so nice job overcoming that. Coming into Chicago and winning is always tough. EJ Manuel impressed the heck out of me, and a lot of other Bears fans. With the Patriots not looking very sharp yesterday, I think you guys have a real shot at winning the division. Good luck in 2014.
Thanks for dropping by...looks like a tough stretch of games ahead for Chicago, but they've got a very good offense and shouldn't be out of any games this year.
Good luck the rest of the way.
This^
Thanks that was cool of you. Best to your Bears this year. That was an entertaining game, you guys were close. You have some real stars and if JC can get the time he needs, watch out, hope you Oline guys heal up too but I was impressed with the depth for the most part.

It will make go blind.

I like it but never thought they'd actually do it, we'll see if they sign him.

EJ pump fake

One thing I don't like that EJ does is the ball tap pump. I don't get why he does it.
