But not our correct usage of the English language...

I like it, too. It's now a pleasant, quaint colloquialism. Its' original usage has long dissolved away.

John - don't waste your time responding to this insect.

Yep... Lynch is one errant fart away from another league suspension. Hard to think that SEA is looking at him. But we never know...

Surprising news...I appreciate the update!

At the very least, he might haul over and air drop some of that toxic slag from his zinc mining operations.

Jeeze - can't Al Gore and Geo. Clooney fly over in their Gulfstream 5 jets and give that volcano a stern lecture?

RIP, Gary.

Deeply scratched into the top of the blackboard in the classroom of one of my H.S. English teachers was this..."B Brf!." However, this nice fellow (acting out of character) once decided that a recitation of Poe's' miserable poem Ulalume woulds edify us. He read it with long pause after each line. I think it took ten minutes. Then we had to put pencil to paper (lined paper, of course) and write a critique. What in the h*ll can you say about a line like "Thus I pacified Psyche and kissed her."? I like Edgar Poe as well as the next guy, but Ulalume is best viewed as a pile of bricks flung at the foreheads of a captive audience denied any possibility of fleeing. I unfortunately had another dosing of it by a college prof - this guy was a virtuoso at monotone; that other fellow at least had a certain lilt in his voice. He was quicker about the business, though, and we didn't have to write anything.

Oh boy. If pre-snap penalties were a problem last year - stay tuned...

How? Will he be hawking beer in the stands?

Since you are going on a cruise ship, get your doctor to write a script for prophylactic antibiotics for the both of you.

Kudos to you for investigating protecting your kid from the crap on the I-net. You are a good parent.

I think it's far from the biggest problem - but point taken. For countless years, there have been newspaper articles about school menu offerings - what to do, oh my! The solution is simple to anyone with an ounce of brains. Next week - no more corn dogs, no pizza, no fries etc. If you don't want to eat what we have now, kiddo - go hungry then and go pester your parents. God forbid that they or you slap together a P&J and toss it and an apple or banana in a paper sack. What agony... I lived in another county here in SW Ohio during my 1st 8 years here. The school system in the town I lived in called me several times, asking me to enroll my kids in their school lunch program. I have no kids. And eventually learned that they reaped something on the order of 35 cents profit per kid per meal. Their concern wasn't about nutrition - it was about getting their hands on money. Hawking burgers, fries, pizza to kids is a sure-fire way to keep the cash register ringing... Every Administration gins up some cause for the First Lady to champion. The current one's task is nutrition (IIRC, with a billion-dollar war chest - nothing surprises me these days). Now, the nutrition value labels on food packages have been there for years and years. Almost everybody reads them (or read them and ignores them). We are not a nation of dummies - we simply make choices. I can't see tossing money down another useless "education" campaign. We grocery shop on Sunday - almost always at the mid-western chain, Meijer's. I always see clean, non-smelly people, by all appearance lucid, pushing carts stacked with all types of nutritional disasters. The government is wasting tax revenue trying to convince them otherwise. Heck - the Food Stamp program ( I believe it sports a new name now - SNAP) lets one purchase all kinds of fun food. Some wag wrote a letter to the editor here a long while back, suggesting they change the name of the program to "Chips Ahoy!" or "Frito Bandito." Our n'paper occasionally prints sob story articles about the lack of gym time in today's schools - can't afford it blah blah blah. The dear ones aren't getting their exercise etc. I attended Bflo. city grade school. Kindergarten and 5th through 8th at one building, 1st through 4th at another. The place where I attended 1st-4th had no gymnasium. Undeterred, they herded our little rum butts out to the asphalt play yard and made us run, jog, skip along the fence lines. The cost was...zero.

Hmm...you told us that the wife works with a non-profit outfit that tries to help folks. Which is good. Remind her of that, and tell her she should not be chasing personal thrills.

Their passing game was abysmal. Their OL was huge question mark from game 1, no bench to speak of. So they ran and hoped they were on the positive side of the score when the clock hit 60:00. As an opponent, I love to see a team chew up that clock while I have the lead. There is no defending a 6-10 record. 2 and 4 in the AFC East last season, 0 and 6 the season before. Now we have a new staff that sashayed into town and decided that their LBs are going to be flipped over to a 3 - 4.

Well, some have said that Clausen hung on the board until #41, and that BUF joined the wisdom of the other 31 clubs passing on him. They then proceeded to out-fox the other 31 teams and steal Brown...in the 7th? Nifty! I didn't realize they were so astute...

That's a...kick!

A seasoned response.

Times are tough. Spend yer money here.
