Interesting observation. It seems that the old school Catholic Churches we grew up with are going by the way side, and are being taken over by these "strip mall" churches where they have fun and dance and sing to house Christian rock bands. They have popped up all over the place in my town. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this...just my observations. You go to a Wednesday mass at the Roman Catholic Church down the street and you see 13 old ladies sitting in the pews. You go to these new-fangled "light" churches on a Wednesday night and it's standing room only.

Supposedly true. Organized religion is full of contradictions and hypocracies.

The priest is supposed to be your "direct line" to confess your sins to god, but really, he just tells the old lady who plays the organ during mass and they have a good laugh.

I hear Nylander came in at around 200. They say he looks completely different physically. Interesting.

The Whitewater Center is awesome. Went to a wedding there one time. White water rafting, huge zip line, mountain biking, rock wall climbing, booze, usually live music. I highly recommend it. Edit: Epicenter in Uptown. Great for night life. Something for everyone. Watch a movie in a theatre while being served dinner and drinks, clubs, arcade, bowling alley....really fun place right down the street from the stadium. http://epicentrenc.com

Had sex in public plenty of times. Never in front of a crowd; seemingly wanting to draw attention though. Not even in the same ballpark.

If that lady had any coin to pass on this never would have been written. lol

Jeez....

I'm almost the same except we do Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, xmas eve, and Easter. Mainly for Mom.

No probs...I'll PM you.

Nope. My last confession was prior to my confirmation ceremony...probably 25 years ago or so. Not too many people do that anymore, I believe.

Have you actually seen the movie? It's not cartoonish or mindless at all, IMO. Good story. Good acting. Well directed. Give it a chance old timer!

So you're saying there's a chance....

I don't know the kid at all, but I know people who do. He's from Queechee, which is about 20-30 minutes from here. I have a faceboook page set up for my lacrosse team though, and noticed that many of my players are friends with him and posted about the incident. Probably played lacrosse for one of our perrennial opponents.

One of my favorites in a while. The Town.

One of the kids involved lives about 20 minutes away from me. These damned millennials think they can just bone anywhere they want! Must have been all those participation trophies. You want to screw? Take her behind a bush or for a drive to an abandoned quarry like we used to do back in the day!! Get off my beach...

I can't name one vegetable that I don't like. Used to hate brussel sprouts, but I like them not that I have had them prepared the right way. My mother was a vegetarian while I was growing up, so I had to each all types of veggies...or go hungry.

Boom! Brie with a cracker (ritz or whatever) and some raspberry Jalapeño jam.

It puts the lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again.

Trader Joe's has bangin pub cheese.

Agreed. Well stated. Nonsense.

No, thankfully I've never been asked to swim naked with 30 other boys while gym teachers stand about and creepily stroke their mustaches. lol I tend to trust my farts way too much. I "glitched" during a meeting at work a while back. My principal, regional superintendent, teachers, school counselor, and parents in attendance. I know those people smelled it. No one said anything and I just made my schitty undies disappear after the meeting concluded. It's hard to speak intelligently in front of your colleagues with a doody in your pants.

Jeez, I $&@t my pants 3 or 4 times a year at work. Another 3 or 4 times while at home or out and about. I usually just toss my underwear (if I'm out) in the trash and free-ball it the rest of the day.

Sad truth, although it appears that things are turning around drastically at OBD. Much more friendly salary cap situation even next season.

Chalk it up to generational differences, I suppose. I graduated in '97 and we used to shower together as a team after games. Never thought anything about it. I coach varsity lacrosse now and my players would never, ever do this. Not even sure it would be allowed if they wanted to.
