  1. He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice Stop playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now
  2. I was a grad student in Binghamton at the time. The next day I was talking to a friend who told me that he turned off the TV when he saw the Red Sox breaking out the champagne in the dugout. Then he heard the whole apartment complex roar, turned the TV back on, and saw what happened. Buckner took too much crap for that loss. It wasn't exactly an easy play to make, and the Sox had plenty of other opportunities to win the game and the series. (Sound familiar, fellow Bills fans?)
  3. Leaders who refuse to accept criticism aren't leaders - they're tyrants, and one way or another, they always lose their power. I've worked for some, and the damage they caused was devastating.
  4. There's a "Pioneer Days" thing that runs here every fall, and they do hatchet throwing. The distance is far enough that you won't get the rebound effect like in that video. People have to sign a waiver form, but it's pretty safe unless someone is a total idiot. They even let kids do it if their parents sign the waiver. I think my son was around 13 when we first went to it, and we both tossed a few hatchets. Given that this is a team-sanctioned event, I'm guessing that waiver forms will be required and anyone who appears drunk won't be allowed to participate. (Sorry, guys...)
  5. Drove back to the church, had a Thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep, and didn't get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from Officer Obie. He said, "Kid, we found your name on a envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage and I just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And I said, "Yes sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under that garbage."
  6. When you need a friend through thick and thin Don't look to those above you When you're down and out, ain't no doubt Nobody wants you But you're rock candy baby Hard, sweet and sticky, yes Rock candy baby Hard, sweet and sticky
  7. How'd that work out for them in the long run? Again, there's an inherent incentive not to tank: it rarely works.
  8. Pretty good incentive not to tank, then. The OP's idea is interesting, but it seems like a solution in search of a problem.
  9. In this context, I think "young" implies never having been an NFL head coach. As for our defense, I don't know whether McD or Frazier has more to do with it, but generally a defensive-minded HC puts his imprint on the D, to say the least. Last year, McD helped Frazier with the play calling after (or during?) the first game, and it improved after that. For all we know, he's still taking a roll in defensive play calling - if not the actual plays themselves, then at least the general defensive philosophy. Regarding the draft and FA acquisitions, the HC's input carries more weight with the GM than the DC's does.
  10. She goes, "Squeeze me, come on and squeeze me Come on and tease me like you do I'm so in love with you." Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night
  11. I'm sure that's a bug in the simulator software. Probably nobody thought to test a condition where the plane lands on its roof.
  12. I just told my wife that we're selling the rototiller. I discovered a better way to loosen up the soil.
  13. ... Alice. Remember Alice? This is a song about Alice. i.e., no Josh Gordon ... and also lay to rest the "Carolina Connection" myth.
  14. Rocky Raccoon checked into his room Only to find Gideon's Bible Rocky had come, equipped with a gun To shoot off the legs of his rival
  15. Oh, will ya excuse me I'm just trying to find the bridge Has anybody seen the bridge? Please Have you seen the bridge? I ain't seen the bridge! Where's that confounded bridge?
  16. I spend beautiful autumn Sunday afternoons watching football on TV. Because ... Bills.
  17. Can they just hypnotize Josh so he always thinks it's the 4th quarter and we're down by 4? ?
  18. Preachers and porn stars both make their living by yelling, "Oh God!"
  19. Crossman: "My guys can run, but they can't Hyde."
