  1. Might I add most people have zero clue how to brake. It is just as effective taking your foot off the gas, as it is to break every 5 seconds. I drive a big heavy truck with lots of momentum. Funny, I counted the car in front of me breaking 18 times today over the course of two miles. I didn't break once. Amazing what you can do when you lay off the gas. And it is a lost art merging onto the highway. Several times the past week as I was on highway entrance ramp I got stuck behind some shlep in their sporty midsize car attempting to merge onto highway 40 mph-and leaving me no choice but to be stuck behind them. !@#$ing idiots. It takes time for me to get up to speed and I most definetly don't appreciate them endangering me because their ineptness. And third, in spirit of this thread- the left lane is the passing lane. Lead, follow, or get the !@#$ out of the way. Do people think they are cool because they do 65 in passing lane, while passing no one. So today I was on 95 and 395 is a left exit with two lanes. So 4 cars ahead of me choose the left lane for some unknown reason since they were doing 60. So I blow by them all on the right, then they decide to move over. What the hell were they doing in the left lane to begin with?
  2. Anna Liffey's in New Haven is a Bills Backer bar? That is one of my favorite bars! I watch the English Premier League there sometimes, but I had no idea that is a Bills Backer bar. I will have to make it down there on a few Sundays
  3. welcome to ignoreville- population you
  4. Thanks. IMO- Young immediately gets on field with Wildcat formations, same as Smith. Both add versatility and flexibility to offense. White over Choice for special teams play Possible we keep 6 WRs- then add either Easley or Roosevelt. 5 Tackles add depth, and we can slide inside if need be. Dickson adds depth and versatility. Heck, maybe we even see Nesbitt in Wildcat. Troup is a solid player with a few bad breaks. Add him and heard to DL rotation and wear down opposing lines. McKillop and Carder make too many plays and must remain on roster. Miller is my sleeper pick for roster. You can never have too many CBs, especially in todays NFL game. Nesbitt is a lock to make team and we need 4 safeties. Damn, did I forget about Scott? He makes team and we cut one more

  6. Happy 100th Chef Julia! Thank you for expanding the American palate and teaching us how to cook
  7. Thigpen stays, Young Cut, Smith stays Troupe stays Barnett, Scott, Sheppard, McKillop, Carder, and one of Moats/Morrison(my $ is on Moats) Bradham to PS Stevie, Nelson, Jones, Graham, Hagan, Easley make it as WR's Potter wins job over Lindell Thats my predictions
  8. online- usually 5+ seconds behind game. I try not to pay attention to chat for that reason
  9. I have a musician friend who's favorite artist without a doubt was Dylan. Well he was working lights for a Dylan show down south and was so excited that he could get to meet Dylan. So my friend saw Dylan and gushed "Bob you are such an influence, and your music has meant so much to me" Bob said "kid, go get me a coke" My friend !@#$ing hates Dylan now
  10. Truly. And to expound on the scene and context- this is the first meeting of the two. Donovan was a Dylan rip off folk singer at the time propped up by the British media. Dylan can be construed mocking Donovan when he says "that's a good song". Milliseconds after Donovan is done performing, Dylan rips the guitar out of Donovan's hands, and is eager to show him up. As Dylan performs enthusiastically, you can see Donovan wincing, and his tightly closed body language points demonstrates his humiliation. And Dylan takes sheer delight in so. This highly charged scene occurs after Dylan earlier in the evening blows a gasket and nearly comes to blows with one of Donovan's crew (who broke a beer bottle in the street). "Who will pick up the broken glass" Dylan screams. "I will help you" Donovan eagerly answers. You can see the resignation in Donovan, and gigantic ego of Dylan. Fascinating
  11. Reminds me of high school football http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUAdgt5Glk0 We used to crank that before games
  12. Allentown cheese steaks are far superior to Philly cheese steaks. I highly recommend a Brass Rail cheese steak
  13. http://www.amazon.co...n/dp/B000KJU1HI Filmmakers were embedded with Bob Dylan on his 1965 tour of England in the classic documentary Don't Look Back. To understand the context, Dylan was just transitioning to superstar. Donovan was 19 and the big thing in the UK at the time. Throughout the film Dylan hears and reads nonstop about this up and coming singer Donovan. And when they finally meet- Donovan was clearly in awe of Dylan, who had little regard for Donovan
  14. It will run off, some to a flower garden, some to my compost pile, some to grass. It won't be that much. My vegetable garden is organic and safe. I removed all the dirt off a large glacier rock and planted in rocks cavities. But there are a few stumps that are a B word to remove, and they are eyesores
  15. I like it! Thank you. And Poojer, I loved your suggestion too!
  16. I don't think that would be an option. The stumps(40+) are on a steep granite rock.
  17. I have many more tree stumps left to remove and it is time to work smarter. So I have been using a pick axe, loppers, and prybars to get the job done- and that is hard work. But I have been reading about another method which is more painless. You cut the stump down low, drill holes straight down in stump, pour fertilizer in holes, and wait 6 months. That sounds better to me. So my question- how should I go about drilling down into the stump? A bigger drill bit makes for quicker result. I tried a 7/16 bit, and it snapped on 3rd stump. And I was thinking that perhaps I would be better off with a hammer drill. What would the best drill/bit combo be for drilling straight down into stump?
  18. its also in the the nfc east blog. Probably all the other conference blogs too
  19. Good news and great to hear about Sam Young! You can never have too many tackles

  21. I urge you to support the Franken-Paul amendment and all other measures that protect our privacy.
  22. 16 in the regular season, 19 overall. Duh
