  1. I bet I could find it if it had a bar code: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/24/world/europe/spain-prostitution-tattoo/index.html
  2. I suppose you could have just got up and said "so long" - - but since you stayed at the conference, maybe your annoyance level was only so-so.
  3. It appears that Tebow's first conversation with Rex Ryan has started him down that path: Tebow'sfirstchatwithRyan
  4. What a load of crap - - you hand out participation trophies long enough and this is what you get.
  5. "Bell Curve" is the arc a RDE runs to get to Fitz's ribs.
  6. In the spirit of the original post - - a list of pros for Tebow:
  7. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/buried-spacecraft-found-austria-_n_1341622.html The whole thing seems fishy to me - - I think the "farmer" was an alien posing as a farmer to escape detection by our primitive technology - - what earthling names his cat Murlimann Knoglinger? You have to be alien to even pronounce it.
  8. To paraphase a friend of mine (who talks a braver game than he plays): Little asteroids get in groups - - big asteroids single file!
  9. More on the big rock: http://news.yahoo.com/hefty-asteroid-2011-ag5s-threat-earth-studied-more-221005723.html;_ylt=AqWAXNjj6xdJPnfk6bQfWsH59XQA;_ylu=X3oDMTRvcWh0cHBxBGNjb2RlA2dtcHRvcDEwMDBwb29sd2lraXVwcmVzdARtaXQDTmV3cyBmb3IgeW91BHBrZwM3OTRkZTNkZi1iNmIwLTM4OTAtYmM2Mi0wNGQ0NjI4MjI2YjUEcG9zAzEEc2VjA25ld3NfZm9yX3lvdQR2ZXIDY2JhMmZlMmMtNmM5MS0xMWUxLTlmZmItYTIyNjllNGY1NWYx;_ylg=X3oDMTMxZm9sazZlBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMTVhZWYwMzMtOTM0ZC0zNmI1LWI0ZDAtOTQ5NGQ5N2JiNGVhBHBzdGNhdANwb2xpdGljcwRwdANzdG9yeXBhZ2UEdGVzdAM-;_ylv=3
  10. I've been to Paris, Texas - - it's 1 hour behind East Coast time. You can put your boots in the oven but that don't make them biscuits.
  11. If I was the Rams GM and I really did have identical offers from the Browns at #4 and the Redskins at #6, I would make the deal with whichever team I thought would be worse in the future. A Redskins deal makes the Rams pick 2 spots later in the 1st and 2nd rounds this year (as compared with a deal with the Browns), but they could easily make up that delta if they think the Redskins will have a worse won/loss record than the Browns in the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
  12. Maybe we can make WR Vincent Jackson an offer at 4 pm Eastern time but tell him it expires if he doesn't accept it within 2 hours and 59 minutes, so that he has to make a decision before the West coast teams can start bidding. Let's get Stevie some help.
  13. Erie County has picked the Nixon Peabody law firm to represent it in lease negotiations (not the same law firm as last time around) - - still waiting for the Bills' architectural study to be completed before negotiations will begin. More at: http://www.buffalonews.com/city/article755579.ece
  14. Goodell: "Gregg, did you pay the tough to get going?" Williams: "Yeah, and when the going got tough, two birds crapped in my hand"
  15. My oldest brother Darryl says Buddy grew up po' in Taladega - - and I think we've been draftin' po' for a long time now.
  16. Orienting your moral compass based on the opinions or conduct of NFL players is a non-starter for me. The following three links, taken together, cover only the last 5 years: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/police-blotter/ http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/02/08/turd-watch-ii-final-police-blotter/ http://archive.profootballtalk.com/turdwatch.htm
  17. Was it worth the trip? If you drove 20 miles RT to fill up, a lot of cars would use about a gallon of gas doing that. If your gas tank holds 20 gallons (many hold less, and most people aren't bone dry when they start the pump), you would have come out ahead by filling up anywhere that gas was $3.62 or less but required no side trip. Costco is just about always cheapest for me, but not by $0.17/gallon.
  18. Just guessing here, but it's possible that each e-mail the NFL reviewed is considered a "document." With the extent to which most communications are electronic these days, any competent investigator would be looking for e-mails to see what was really going on. The NFL could afford top notch investigators if it wanted them, and the NFL coaching fraternity is probably clueless about what it takes to actually rid all traces of e-mail communications from a computer's hard drive. When you simply "delete" an e-mail, it's not really gone. I would not be surprised if one of the first things the investigators did was "image" the hard drive of any coach suspected of being involved. This would also explain how the NFL got the e-mail from Ornstein (sp?) to the Saints' head coach.
  19. So he can pay capital gains taxes on very roughly an $800 million profit, that he could avoid entirely by delaying the sale until after he passed? Why would a 93 year old business man, who as far as we know owns 100% of the shares of the corporation that owns the Bills, do that? Based on 2007 data, the average life expectancy of a 93 year old man is only 3.15 years: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html Ralph can afford the best health care money can buy, so that would tend to increase his life expectancy a bit, but he's also had a broken hip, which would tend the other way. If you still think his family will be better off financially if he sells the team before his death, I'd like to know why you think so.
  20. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/michael_mccann/03/03/saints.bounty.system/index.html?sct=nfl_t11_a0 As mentioned elsewhere in the SI article, Michael McCann is a sports law professor at the Vermont Law School. While I think criminal prosecution is unlikely, it's not impossible.
  21. OK, this assumes she's a "keeper" who hasn't made you any real promises yet (and vice versa), and the following level of effort would be easier than trying to trade up in your new location: If her housing/job situation allows it, and she's an animal lover, think about getting her a puppy (or he11, even a cat [gag]). It will be a constant reminder of you. Reinforce the association by naming it after her favorite hockey player that you watched on your first date. Don't try this if you aren't sure how she feels about pets or aren't sure if a pet would be compatible with her housing/job situation. But it sounds like you have dated enough that you ought to have some idea if this makes sense.
