  1. That's because she said, "Honey, you just don't turn me on anymore."
  2. Breeders tend to think of dogs as property, not pets. That's why all of our pets come from shelters. Never buy from a breeder.
  3. I remember the time when the ball found his head:
  4. Me too. I was almost afraid to look.
  5. As a college student, I worked at a McDonalds (locally-owned, independent franchise, not McD corporate). Each crew person got a box of candy for Christmas. When I worked my up to shift manager, I got a $50 Christmas bonus. (That was in 1982.) In my 30 years as a professional, I've never received a Christmas bonus.
  6. I went to the same show, but for the opposite reason. I did enjoy The Clash, but my love for The Who was solidified by that show. (It's the first time I saw them.)
  7. See if they can slide a piece of paper between his foot and the ground. Works for first down measurements.
  8. The only way things change is when the people demand a change. If you're willing to just bend over and take it, then they'll be happy to keep screwing you.
  9. That's like saying that if poor people would get more money, they could contribute more to PACs so the politicians will start to pass legislation that doesn't screw them over. The rules should apply universally. The field is supposed to be level.
  10. I'm sure you'll get a great parking spot.
  11. "We like NFL football, but there aren't enough concussions."
  12. Pete wanted the other members of the band to interpret the songs however they wanted. On the demos, he'd play all the instruments (and vocals) pretty blandly, so the guys would have just the basic framework on which to build. Pete's lyrics resonated with me when I was a teenager, and now, in my mid-50s, they're just as relevant to me as ever. He perfectly captured the joy/anger/love/disillusionment/hope/fear of life. Quadrophenia is nothing short of brilliant; a complete masterpiece of lyrics, music, and performance.
  13. Am I the first to notice the metaphorical significance of that?
  14. Do you think the Bills have a better chance of winning out?
  15. I'm hoping the HC, GM, and OC will reach a consensus - perhaps a different OC, since McD's first choice in OC is now available.
  16. I think TT is gone at the end of this year, but if they do keep him. it'll be as a veteran to support the rookie that they draft in the first round. Tyrod may start next year if they think the rookie isn't ready, or he may be "Plan B" - like Kurt Warner was for the Giants in Eli's first year.
  17. No, but he asked for the loss with the biggest impact, not the game that we almost won.
  18. J-E-T-S Not only was it a divisional game against a weak opponent, but it's the game that started the slump.
  19. I think you misheard him. What he said was, "It was just as unintentional as when I stomped on Aaron Rodgers' arm." (I'm with the NSA. I'm responsible for monitoring Suh's phone calls. Don't tell anyone, okay?)
  20. Irrelevant. Hit a QB in the head, they throw the flag. And even if intent was a factor, with Suh's history, he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
  21. I agree. I find some voices annoying as hell, and that's not dependent on the speaker's gender. I didn't find hers all that bad, but to each his own. I also cringe at certain announcers' pronunciations, like Wilcots (Buffalo Beals), Gannon (Owfense), and Gruden (Nickle Roby).
  22. "Politically correct" is so overused. It's really just a matter of respecting other people. The phrase itself was coined by bigots who complained that they weren't allowed to hate [insert hated group] because it's not politically correct. You're allowed to hate anyone you want. Likewise, others are allowed to call you out on it if you're exhibiting bigotry. It's not sexist (or "politically incorrect," if you prefer) to criticize her performance. It IS sexist to say that a woman shouldn't be announcing a football game. It's sexist BY DEFINITION. There's been some of both in this thread.
