Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues He can't win for losing

Not a big fan of potato chips anymore, but back in the day, Ruffles (original or sour cream & onion) were my favorites. These days I'm inclined towards corn tortilla chips like you get in an authentic Mexican restaurant. On game days I'll spread some on a plate, grate some cheese, microwave it for 20 seconds, add some combo of olives, jalapenos, salsa, guacamole (if avocados are in season), and Frank's Red Hot (original). Goes great with a Bloody Mary! Or I'll eat 'em right out of the bag. Or crumbled in soup or chili. When the bag is down to just crumbs, I'll sprinkle them onto a PB&J.

Why be embarrassed about that? It says you're doing good. Of course, there was this one time... My uncle was a pharmacist. At some point he semi-retired and was working as a substitute, filling in for pharmacists who called in sick. The thing was, you never knew which pharmacy he'd be at on any given day. When I was 18 or so, I strolled into a pharmacy to buy a box of condoms, and there, behind the counter, stood Uncle Joe. I bought a bottle of pop and went to a different pharmacy.

I think they're doing the Thursday night game.

We're white punks on dope Mom & Dad moved to Hollywood Hang myself when I get enough rope Can't clean up, though I know I should

Thanks. I wonder how the DC feels about that.

... except for the clutch catches that contributed to at least two wins this season.

Did I imagine this or did one of the announcers say that Stephen was calling the defensive plays?

'Cause a week is a month and an hour a day When your reaching just pushes it further away With your past and your future precisely divided Am I at that moment? I haven't decided

I don't have an MBA, but I'm thinking that's not a good business model.

You answered your own question.

Exactly. I subscribed to DTV for the sole purpose of getting ST. Besides games, there were about 4 channels that I watched on a somewhat regular basis, and I could live without any of them. In effect, in order to get the one item I wanted, I was forced to buy a much more expensive package. It's like wanting to buy a tire but being forced to buy a whole car.

You give me fever, When you kiss me Fever when you hold me tight Fever In the mornin' Fever all through the night

They finally threw me out My mom got drunk on stout My dad couldn't stand on two feet As he lectured about morality

He was telling his bookie that it's time to pay up.

He didn't drop it - the ball was punched out. A clutch defensive play.

Anyone else get a warm fuzzy feeling on the last NE drive when the announcer said this would be a good time for a takeaway?

Why should I care If I have to cut my hair? I got to move with the fashion Or be outcast I know I should fight But my old man, he's really alright And I'm still living at home Even though it won't last

I liked him as Indiana Jones' father in The Last Crusade. The beach scene where he used his umbrella to make a flock of gulls fly into the path of an incoming fighter plane was classic.

I'm partial to Connery, but Moore was good too, albeit a little less serious. In general, I like the Connery/Moore Bond flicks more than the modern ones - more focus on dialog and plot, less emphasis on chase scenes, explosions, and special effects. RIP, Sir Sean.

Stop walking down my street (Don't come around here no more) Who you expect to meet? (Don't come around here no more) And whatever you're looking for Hey! Don't come around here no more

Seems timely (excuse the pun):

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned The fact that I like to drink beer This little song is more to the point Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears
