  1. I shouldn’t be surprised by crap like this, but it is upsetting. I’m gonna do my part to make the world a better place. The first 75 morons I come across today get a fresh ass kicking and a lecture about how much more there is where that came from if they don’t stop hijacking the world with their idiotic, paranoid, repressed, hyper-litigious, namby-pamby !@#$ing horse ****.
  2. Mr. Magoo Nation. Actually, the safest way to be is completely oblivious. Everyone else then endagers themselves getting out of your way and then ultimately rescuing you from danger. This is the strange de-evolutionary phenomenon of the total invincibility of morons. Look around where you work. You will see it all around you.

  4. Bahamas said knock you out! (HUH!!)
  5. Interesting. I'm reading one of his short story collections now. I haven't read any of his novels yet, but I'm curious.
  6. Oh, why couldn't there have been jagged rocks below where she fell off? Why, dammit? Why?!
  7. Good point. It’s comical the point to which the NFL is the signature American sport. It’s bureaucratic, litigious, highly specialized, convoluted and controversial, not to mention sensationalistic, violent and egotisical. It’s the only sport where the referee has to address the crowd with a detailed explanation of what just happened and how they’re going to deal with it. It’s funny to me that they scrutinize the rules every year and constantly make changes. I agree it's ridiculous, but I think it’s always going to be that way.
  8. I'm appalled, offended, sickened and insulted. 8.5
  9. I love soccer. And I think it’s cool the way the European leagues work with all the different competitions. Gives the fans more to cheer for. Just take the English leagues as an example... You can win your league’s regular season title by finishing with the best record (most points). Huge deal. You can win the league cup (For the English Premier League, it’s called the Carling Cup), which is a tournament played in the early part of their season. This is considered more of a minor competition, I think because it’s played early in the year. The top teams don’t necessarily put all their energy into this competition. As a result, the lower tier teams have a better shot to take this title. The FA cup is huge in England. It’s a tournament including all the professional clubs in England in all divisions. Even the tiny clubs get a chance to steal some glory. It’s common for lower league teams to make a run and sometimes get a huge upset. It’s a little like the English soccer version of our March Madness, except that it is spread out over the course of the season. The FA final is another huge prize, usually taken by one of the top 4 or 5 teams in the Premier League. Champions league. The top 4 English teams qualify for this. Some other countries only get one or two berths, based on the relative strength of their league. The CL title is arguably the top prize in all pro soccer. The UEFA cup. This is basically a second tier Champions League. I think it’s the 5th and 6th best English Premier League teams that qualify. They play the “second best” of the teams in the other European pro leagues. Basically, kind of the NIT to the NCAA tourney. Of course there is also the idea of "relegation," where if you finish at the bottom of your league, you get bumped down to the next level. And if you are in a minor league and you win it, you get to move and play with the big boys the following year. It all works to make the whole big mess full of drama and interesting for all the teams. Basically, everybody always has something meaningful to play for pretty much all the time.
  10. Some of the chapter titles: Ed, the horrible human being Who gives a stevestojan? One night with Fabio Sue’s final two cents ($.027 CAN) Whole lotta retatta A boy and his hamster You’re only as good as your Last Post Wins thread And then Kyle said to Mario...
  11. It's St. Patrick's Day Eve, dummy. Jack, FYI with your next post in here, you will tie Steely Dan as the second most prolific poster in the Last Post Wins thread. You can read all about it my upcoming book, Great Moments in Buffalo Bills Fan Message Board History.
  12. I've asked many sports fans and have never heard a good answer: Why the apostrophe in the first name? What letters does it stand in for? I'm thinking "u-h"
  13. Oh great, thanks for that, Kreskin. Even though you have planted that evil thought in my brain I want you to know that I'm Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you. Never gonna make you cry. Never gonna say goodbye. Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. Just sayin'
  14. It’s a strange world. Today a 27 year old rich muscular black man who I have never met signed a piece of paper in a room a thousand miles away from where I live and it just makes me giddy as a schoolgirl.
  15. Sorry, what now? I'm not sure my brain is processing too good
  16. If Mario signs soon the board will be flooded and this could in fact be the Last Post.
