  1. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this week's installment of this, but I'm glad I did. If you're not in the mood for humor, skip to the 3:40 mark.
  2. And every Saturday we work in the yard Pick up the dog doo Hope that it's hard (woof woof) Take out the garbage and clean out the garage My friend's got a Chrysler I've got a Dodge We're just ordinary average guys
  3. Agreed. There's a reason some people refer to the "leading edge" as the "bleeding edge." I like to let the rich kids do the beta testing for me. Once the early bugs get fixed, the prices tend to drop significantly, making the second generation affordable and more reliable.
  4. I agree. Like you, I also have mixed feelings about the game this Sunday, but I remember that Brett Favre's father died the day before a big game and his mother told him to play because his father would have wanted him to. Likewise, Josh's parents told him to play the day after his grandmother passed away - same reason. These guys are competitors and, even more, they're brothers in arms. None of us can speak for Damar, but I suspect that he'd want the team to play. And if they do, there's no doubt that they'll dedicate the game to him.
  5. Never know how much I love you Never know how much I care When you put your arms around me I get a fever that's so hard to bear You give me fever,
  6. When I was a little boy (When I was just a boy) And the devil would call my name (When I was just a boy) I'd say, now who do (Who) Who do you think you're foolin' (When I was just a boy)
  7. Take me back, carry me back Down to gasoline alley where I started from Take me back, won't cha carry me home Down to gasoline alley where I started from
  8. Strap me in, tie down, and roll me a bone I'm gettin on an airplane, and I'm flyin home Strap me in, tie down, I'm learning to fly Travel cross the country, I get too *****in' high
  9. Have you heard the news It's all over town If you ain't heard it boys You better sit down I got the story here It's hot off the press Brace yourself now And take a deep breath Grab a hold of something Hold on tight Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight
  10. It was and, sadly, still is. Whether you're aware of it or not, there's a high probability that a woman you know has been sexually assaulted.
  11. Other than that part, the rest of the list seems pretty viable.
  12. So you're saying they're all cliché and nothing original? 😉
  13. Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
  14. Landslide, rocks are falling, falling down upon our very heads We tried, but you were yawning, look again Rock is dead Rock is dead Rock is dead
  15. Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine
  16. Balance. Our offense was good enough to beat KC in the playoffs last year. Defense, not so much.
  17. I don't know if it applies in this scenario, but when the Dept of Homeland Security was created, they started a program called CERT: Community Emergency Response Teams. Each community's law-enforcement agency would train civilians to help first responders. When I taught at a college, I was part of the campus CERT. Our campus police dept trained us in search-and-rescue, triage, and other stuff. (Not rescuing people in a snowstorm, however.) We all received certification in basic first aid, CPR, fire extinguishing, and using a Stryker Chair. We were given a backpack of equipment and told to keep it in our offices and be ready to respond if we were called. Seems like the same concept could be used here, with the conditions you suggested.
  18. A genuine trailblazer with an amazing career. RIP.
  19. Well, I ain't always right, but I've never been wrong Seldom turns out the way it does in a song Once in a while, you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right
  20. Hush now baby baby don't you cry Mama's gonna make all of your Nightmares come true Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you Mama's gonna keep you right here Under her wing She won't let you fly But she might let you sing Mama will keep baby cozy and warm
  21. I thought love was more or less a giving thing Seems the more I gave, the less I got What's the use in tryin' All you get is pain When I needed sunshine, I got rain
  22. Good save! Did he go to Tre White's goalie academy?
  23. A few years ago we were driving through Michigan in the winter, and on one stretch of I-94, all the deer crossing signs had red reflectors on the noses.
  24. I love to hear you say my name Especially when you say "yes"
  25. At one time, some rookies (primarily QBs) were holding out for top dollar without ever having taken an NFL snap. The vets and the owners didn't like that, so they implemented a rookie pay scale. Since non-QBs far outnumber QBs, I could see the NFLPA going for some kind of a deal where the salary for one player (presumably the QB) isn't more than a certain percentage of the team's cap. Owners would go for it because it protects them from being held hostage by someone like Aaron Rodgers, who got such a big contract that the Packers couldn't keep their best WR, and now they're struggling to make the playoffs even though they have a top-five QB.
