Johnny Hammersticks

Jeebus! Some of you sound like you even enjoy smacking your kids around...lol. My son is almost 8 and he got one spanking when he was about 4. One smack on the butt did the trick, and I remember feeling horrible about it at the time. The thing is, he never before and never since needed to be spanked. He's a good kid. I'm a firm believer in not going to the spanking thing too often, and only under extreme circumstances. If you spank too frequently kids become accustomed to it and the consequence loses value, IMO. My 4 year old daughter, on the other hand, has been on the receiving end of 5 or 6 spankings already. She's well mannered and behaves herself for the most part, but she has a little bit of an evil streak to her. She's just like my wife.

Story of my life... That's the spirit, Exiled!

What's Chinese about it? Running around your car like idiots at a stop light? I wonder what one General Tso would have to say about this? His chicken is delicious. You strike me as a "life of the party" type of person. Amarite?

She did make a purchase that I find to be somewhat bizarre. Checking account summary indicated that she paid $178.94 to ACME Co. for "bulk wrenches and screwdrivers." You might be onto something...

Just finished Bloodline S3 and it was torture to watch. My wife made me watch until the end. The second to last episode was trash, and the finale was pointless and meandering. I think I'm done with that show if they do S4. I have House of Cards S5 in the chamber, but I'm reluctant to start it. Just so overwhelmed with all the political ridiculousness lately. Looking for something lighter maybe. Shameless S7 was pretty good. William H. Macy is starting to carry that show to some extent, but it's still pretty funny.

And their "schtick" has already become incredibly dull and annoying, IMO.

Once again, the Santa Maria gets the shaft...

This clip was on Tosh.0 this week. Daniel Tosh is a Dolphins fan. Pretty funny stuff when the dude rolls over to reveal a 'phins t-shirt. See, Bills fans aren't the only ones to do stupid things.

Great topic! I imagine we all were little rascals at some point in our lives, regardless of our culture or background. "Run, Johnny, Run". Haha. Oh, the things we used to do back in the day in the hood. Around Christmas time we would steal one light bulb from people's Christmas lights so the whole strand would go out. We called that game "t'was the night before Christmas and yo &$@ is diggin around in the snow for tiny light bulbs." The knocking on doors and running one...well I know what my white friends called it, but of course I won't post that. It's offensive. My MawMaw called the game "The postman always rings twice, but the meter man only knocks once and run off cause he just shut off the damn lights." Oh, MawMaw...bless her heart.

Uhh, I think she may have wanted your life insurance policy. Do you find random small appliances plugged in and positioned on the edge of your bathtub? Does your car's brakes fail frequently?

Obviously you don't understand women, so I'll help you out pal. She doesn't want to go sky diving! She's 36...would probably disclocate her hip on he way down! She wants to go ski diving with ME because it would be fun and special... Women.

Oh, hell no.... My wife wants me to do a jump with her so badly. Tells me her boyfriend in college promised to take her, but they broke up before they could go. I tell her she should have stayed with him.

Focusing on Adolphus, AW alone, and the specific incident... My question is why did he have the gun in his lap? He seemed to evade answering that question every time it was asked by the officer? In fact, I'm surprised that the officer didn't push further. Was he just being a dummy and showing it off? Was he afraid of something, and keeping it at the ready? Something fishy...

I haven't yet begun to embarrass myself, thank you. My posts in this thread (and the previous) focused on the particular individual and the specific incident. Your not so bright pal, and others, can't help but sway the discussion to the whole societal gun ownership debate. Even singling out particular cross-sections of professional athletes who are also gun owners. Why? We don't need you to drop any more hints...we all know who you're talking about, slick. How did you get involved in this anyway? Now go away before I taunt you a second time!

Okay. Which demographic of professional athletes were you referring to here, tough guy?

Just build another wall...we'll make Aqua Net pay for it.

Is this bad? Can't we just use a million tugboats and tow it to Manhattan to use for making cocktails?

I'm going to take the high road here. Don't you have a Klan rally that you're supposed to be at? Nobody likes you, and your mother dresses you funny. Kick rocks, twatwaffle.

Again, you double down with your racist sentiment. "I just believe that too many of these guys own firearms for the wrong reasons." Stop posting in this thread. Yeah, okay...

Careful not to assume the worst. It appears, based on everything that has been reported, that AW's actions weren't all that egregious. Let's wait and see before we condemn the man.

Oh yeah?

Yes. Flashing a 9mm will get you to the head of the line in a hurry.

Thanks for the reassurance. Interesting little tid-bit re: Mittlestadt. My close friend's nephew, Jake Begley, won the Frank Brimsek Award (best HS goalie in Minnesota) this year. Casey won the Minnesota Mr. Hockey award. They are good friends and have played together and against each other a ton. I met Jake a couple weeks before the draft, and he was talking about how Casey was going to turn out to be the best forward taken this year. I told him I've never heard of him, and that I thought the Sabres would take a defenseman at #8. His reply was "Casey will be long gone before #8." To my surprise, I got a text forwarded from my friend (from Jake...I know that's confusing) saying "your Sabres just won the lottery!" FWIW...I thought that was kind of cool.

Idiot. Hey, is Tom on vacation or something?

Do you think he will stay all four years, and we'll end up with another Cal Peterson situation?
