  1. You never know where it could lead... https://www.sunnyskyz.com/good-news/3198/Woman-Learns-Blood-Donor-Who-Saved-Her-Life-Is-Her-Husband
  2. "Where's the restroom? I gotta piss like a racehorse!"
  3. I had a girlfriend who waited tables when she was in college. In her final semester, she worked at a diner that was owned by a guy who sold coke and ran a bookie operation on the side. (She didn't know this until after she started working there.) One morning, I took her to work and I decided to stay and have breakfast. The cook, who was sleeping with the owner, was late to arrive, so my GF had to open, fire up the grills, cook, and wait tables. She was pissed. About an hour after opening, the boss and the cook casually strolled in, still wasted from the night before. GF let them know that she was less than pleased. At some point, the boss started complaining about my GF's clothes - I think her pants were a little faded, but she still looked good for work. I was sitting at the counter and I overheard him say something about her "looking like a bag lady" and then she yelled, "Mark - go **** yourself!" (Yeah, the whole place heard it.) Then she walked around the counter and said to me, "Let's get the **** out of here." I was done eating, but I hadn't paid yet. I asked, "Are you going to bring me the check?" She said, "Are you kidding me?" and stormed out the door. It was a classic moment, and I have to admit, I was kinda turned on! So we walked out, headed towards my car, and she stopped and said, "**** - I left my purse inside." So after a perfectly dramatic exit, she had to go back in and get her purse. That was her last gig as a waitress. Four months later I married her. We're going on 31 years.
  4. A lot of teachers have to moonlight just to make ends meet. As long as everyone involved was a consenting adult, who cares?
  5. It's supposed to be entertainment. I'm happy when they win, I'm bummed when they lose, but life goes on either way. In both cases, my contribution was sitting on the couch drinking a Bloody Mary, so I don't take wins or losses personally. I will say this: after a loss, I tend to remind myself that I have a lot to be happy about, in spite of the fact that my favorite team stinks.
  6. C'mon, Man. You've got to know that you'll get fired for that. Some people don't know the difference between an Internet meme and a news report.
  7. Hey Reggie - RB stands for "Running Back," not "Run Backwards."

  9. I could do without the meth part (and judging from his picture, so could he), but I've got no problem with him helping his wife end her life on her own terms. When a pet is suffering, we consider it humane to put it out of its misery, even though it can't really consent. Yet, society deems it immoral to allow a person to choose his or her own death. My father spent his last three months in a hospital. He was in pain, there was no hope for recovery, and he was asking to die. His religion and the law both forced him to suffer "until God decided to take him."
  10. Just hope that the Rams don't become the Falcons in the second half.
  11. Use Shady as the primary receiver on screens and quick slants. That makes up for the deficiencies in the o-line (which should be better next year, but probably not as good as we'd like it to be) and wreaks havoc on the D.
  12. I remember when the purpose of the Super Bowl was to determine the NFL champion for that season, not to debut overpriced, overhyped, and usually stupid commercials that are totally unrelated to the actual products they're hawking. (I know - you can insert "Old man yells at cloud" meme here.)

  14. I don't think coordinators are HOF eligible, and his tenure as a HC won't get him into Canton.
  15. That lady rocks!
  16. We had a solid week off from school. The snow in our backyard was so high, we built snow forts by tunneling.
  17. Last year he was saying how bummed he is to be missing his kids' soccer games because of the demands of being an NFL player. It's obvious his ego is more important to him than his family. That's everything you need to know about him.
  18. I hope he tells him that when he makes it to the Super Bowl, wait until after the game to party his ass off.
  19. In WNY, they close schools because of snow. In the Midwest, they close schools because of the bitter cold. The first time it happened after we moved here, they said, "Exposed flesh will freeze in less than a minute." Yeah, you don't want kids standing at the bus stop in those temperatures. Heck, that's not even enough time to get from the parking lot to the building.
  20. The game is 60 minutes long. There are potential game-changing plays in every quarter, but it's only when it happens near the end that someone says "He blew the game!" The Chiefs had several opportunities to put that game away. They lost as a team.
  21. Working on my 22nd gallon. You can donate a pint every eight weeks - about six times a year. I started in my senior year of high school when the Bloodmobile came to the school. I admit, my reason for that first donation was less than altruistic - it got me out of class for a couple of periods. The other 169 times were for a better cause.
  22. His application of the scientific method is questionable at best, but regardless of that, I hope his Super Bowl prediction comes true.
  23. Hacksaw Ridge stood out to me. It has the benefit of being a true story, too.
